#manifesting!!! they know someone who's married omg what does this mean

[mostly-mundane-atla]

Hi, I’m writing a fanfiction and from your posts on marriage it’s clear that Yue might actually have a lot of choices and agency for marriage specifically but I was wondering how much power does a wife have? I mean this in two ways, how much power does she have in the family and how much would a leader’s wife have in a community? Like, as wife of the chief (or daughter of the chief) would she ever make decisions for the community/lead or is it more an advisor thing or none of the above?

This is exactly my shit omg

So, a lot of people will say that among the Inuit, men dominate. This is not exactly true, and for the Inupiat specifically, it's been said that these preconceptions of men dominating or being seen as inherently superior or more valued are unfounded and based in misunderstandings and stereotypes. Men go out and bring food home to share with the village, but they understood that they would be foolish to think their wives had nothing to do with their success. Who was making their clothes and keeping them warm with mending so they could go out and bring home food? Who gave them a warm meal before? Whose forethought gave them peace of mind enough to sleep? Husbands and wives were interdependent and respected that. It's not a case of "yeah men are more valued, but women do the important work" but rather men and women both acknowledged that they each contributed things of equal importance. A wife wasn't obedient, she served her husband as her husband served her. The dynamic was built on trust and reciprocity.

There's also some stuff to be said about sexuality, because that's a big part in the perception of marriage and gender roles. The long periods of breastfeeding required to nourish children under the age of six years in such a harsh environment acted as a natural contraceptive. This gave women (and especially wives) a bit more wiggle room than there was to be found in cultures where contraceptives were tabooed. Sex wasn't something that had to be kept in a marriage. It wasn't something you were supposed to prioritize, but it wasn't something you had to save either. It was understood that most liked it because it felt good. There was no virginity requirement for marrying, and simply wanting or being curious about it was not considered morally wrong. Extramarital affairs were only looked down upon if there was dishonesty involved. Therefore, the whole concept of a husband's right to his wife? Not a thing among us. If any man wanted to sleep with any woman, she said yes or she said no and not always with words. (A lot of our communication is nonverbal, due to what could be described as a shy demeanor.) If she said no, maybe she'll change her mind, but a no for now is still a no, and the man in question was expected to respect that, and vice versa.

Men were often away tracking, hunting, whaling, doing what it took to bring the food in while women typically kept up the other duties. These were often outside the home in the warmer months, things like food prep and clothing and childcare, in social settings. The husband and father was given special consideration, as his work was more physically demanding, and the wife and mother would keep a store of food specifically for him that neither she nor the children they had would take from. In fact, the planning of food being stored, prepared, and distributed within the household was the wife/mother's responsibility. Such women, even those with arrogant or unthoughtful husbands, being smart with food can save entire villages from starvation. One story where this happens has the woman's husband fall to his knees and kiss her hands, full of both gratitude that she was among them and pride that someone like her chose to marry him.

This sort of power the women had over food manifested even in a young man's rite of passage. The first animal a boy ever successfully hunted was to be gifted to his mother or aunt. This first catch was typically something small like a bird or rabbit that the matriarch in question would make into a soup that could feed the whole family. And though it's true that men brought in the big game, women also provided through trapping, fishing, and bird hunting.

Due to men specializing in work that required long hours of attentive silence away from home, the more social aspects were handled by women. If you were arranged to be married to someone, it was more likely a discussion between your and your betrothed's mothers rather than fathers. This may have been why a young man who had never been married before needed to be deemed ready by his mother or other family member, while a young woman who had never been married before was trusted to know for herself.

So for the record: wives in general

-could have relationships with men who weren't their husbands

-didn't owe their husbands sex just because they were married

-had complete control over food distribution within the household, regardless of who brought it home

-were more involved with social things, like rites of passage and marriage arrangements.

Now when it comes to the Umialik, his wife (or "main wife" as it must be remembered: we were not a strictly monogamous people before the Christians showed up and decided they knew better than us) could lead in his name, but there's something that should be cleared up. The writers decided that it best suited the universe they created and the story they wanted to tell to treat the chief of the Northern Water Tribe as a monarch. This is not reflective of the way an Inupiaq Umialik was treated. While the image one might have based on Chief Arnook is one of higher quality clothes and a big beautiful house and delegating the grunt work to his subordinates, among the Inupiaq, leading the people meant putting more work into it. It was less about power and more about responsibility, and this responsibility was shared with his wife.

Among the Umialik's wife's responsibilities were sewing warm clothes for the whalers (she could recruit women of the village to help her), distributing food at a potlatch, and some important ceremonial roles to do with the whaling season. Like her husband, she was expected to remain chaste just before and during the whaling season. She was also expected to remain in the home while the whalers were away (a sort of pact with the whale, if that makes any sense), and when the whale was brought home, as with any other marine mammal catch, she was the one to pour water down its throat so it wouldn't die thirsty.

An Umialik likely did seek his wife's councel, but that would be true of any husband. Only an idiot would treat his wife like she has nothing of value to offer and a man ought to be humble enough to listen if he wants to marry. The Umialik was the man with the biggest family, likely because they would support his claim and it was hard to defy someone so connected to the village, but another reason could be that, with the largest family, he'd likely be exposed to the most states a person can find themself in, granting him more experience. As mentioned before, women were more in-tune with the social aspects than men usually were, so any wife but especially that of the Umialik would have an important perspective that her husband might not.

As for the Umialik's children in general, primogeniture was not the hard and fast rule among Inupiat as it wass with many cultures we're used to. An Umialik's daughter had no more rights than the average woman and his son had no more rights than the average man. They might find themselves on the receiving end of exceptional kindness to win their father's favor, but there was no guarantee either would inherit

hello these are the bnha fics i’ve read so far and i just made this to track them for myself. favorites are marked with a 💥! more bakudeku plus tododeku and other ships under the cut.

bakudeku

💥 Bluebird - EtherealBeing (53k)

Dialing a wrong number was no unusual occurrence. Everyone did it once in a while, and Katsuki was well aware of that fact.

However, possessing this knowledge made it no less aggravating for him to discover — a full two minutes into his rant about his day — that he’d been venting his frustrations to a complete stranger. As if that wasn't enough, said stranger was also inexplicably determined to hear his story to its end.

Let’s Be Alone Together - lalazee (3k)

Prompt: Deku being aggressively forward in his pursuit of Bakugou, and how that big oaf would react to someone else actually making the first move.

“Are you going to spend your entire life wishing you’d kissed me or are you gonna grow some balls and fucking do it?”

Bell Pepper - ticklishivories (7k)

Midoriya knew they wouldn’t talk about it. He was right. But he never thought it’d happen again.

spilling over every side - failbender (6k)

No good deed goes unpunished, not when there's a crazy lady with a complex and Lust Quirk parading around the city. By now, Katsuki should probably be used to things blowing up in his face.

be loved - bonnia (5k)

They sit there, in the darkness of the common room, about a few centimeters between them, but miles apart. Somehow, the quiet is companionable. More than it has been in many years. Katsuki knows he’s responsible for the rift between them, and he knows even more that it can’t only be Deku who attempts to mend it.

“Hey,” he says, after a while, and Deku turns to him in question, but Katsuki refuses to look his way. “Touch me again.”

(or: the kidnapping incident leaves bakugou traumatised about being touched on the back of his neck, and midoriya decides to take matters into his own hands)

Leftovers - brichibi (6k)

“Did you two make up?”

That. That’s why that fight felt like it was worth it, even if, technically, Izuku can’t answer her. Have they made up? Is this making up?

He actually doesn’t know.

[Or: the house arrest fic where it is, somehow, more awkward to talk through feelings than it is to fight]

lust-drunk - theboykingofhell (8k)

The one where Bakugou tries not to lose his mind to lust, and Midoriya is the useless gay who does nothing to help that matter at all.

💥 Quiet Rapture - lalazee (261k) - inc.

That A/B/O fic where cocky Alpha Bakugou falls in mate-love at first scent, while Midoriya is just a poor bookstore-owning Omega who got his nose punched in is a kid and can't smell a damn thing. Also known as: That time an Alpha had to use his actual personality to woo his mate instead of relying on his scent.

💥 A Demolition Boy & his Cryptid BF - kewltie (8k)

Bakugou of the Demolition Squad is famous for running one of the most popular Youtube channels on the web that regularly blow shit up and jumped off a perfectly good building for shit and giggles. He's also famous for his Cryptid BF™, never appearing on camera except for a few bodyshots and all information on him is kept locked up tighter than Fort Knox, therefore drawing all sort of attention and curiosity toward his mysterious boyfriend.

Deku from Deku Explains is a hopeless chatterbox who is known for uploading 20-30 minutes video that talked about his favorite shows and comics and have one of the most devoted following on Youtube. He also can't seem to shut up about his boyfriend Kacchan, who regularly make his presence on the channel as a disembodied voice.

They should theoretically have nothing in common except a shared platform to host their content and an army of fans with an endless curiosity and devotion to their Youtubers. Vidcon is where we lay our scene and the internet is about to get a rude wake up call.

What The Fuck Did You Just Call Me? - reading_raindrop (8k)

“A-ah B-Bakugou! You dropped some pencils!”

Katsuki stiffened. Kirishima and Kaminari froze. Basically, everyone within earshot stopped what they were doing to look at Izuku like he sprouted a second head. What did he just call him? “What the fuck did you just say to me?”

Katsuki whipped his head towards Izuku with his signature death glare as he stood up from where he picked up the fallen supplies.

“U-um I said you dropped some pencils! I think this eraser might be yours to-”

“No. What the fuck did you just call me?”

Izuku starts calling him Bakugou and it pisses the explosive teen off a lot more than he thought it would

💥 take care - Chrome (2k)

There are words to say stay safe, I’ll miss you, I love you, but Kacchan has always preferred to leave things unspoken. Izuku isn’t much with languages, but he thinks he’s figured out this one.

“Emotional constipation manifested as over-the-top housewifery?” Mina asks. Before Izuku can say that is not what he meant at all, she nods. “Yeah, I can see it.”

Just Look At Me - Colourcubify (52k) - dnf

Midoriya is completely happy with his life. Nope, not one single regret in his twenty-seven years. He especially doesn't regret running into his old childhood friend/bully after almost ten years, nor does he regret spilling coffee all over his very expensive looking suit. How nice it will be to die with no regrets. ~~~~ AKA the sugar daddy AU I meant to be a one shot, that turned into a full fledged story.

A Nest for the Best - Camellia_Sinensis (1k)

Procrastination - capncapk (5k)

But it is still surprising to see his more-than-friend-but-also-lover-he-guesses in his office seeking attention though Izuku already turned him down.

Usually he'll get a text of 'wyd?' followed by a time and place if Izuku responds with a confirmation, and silence if he's busy.

Or slammed into the wall in the agency's shower for a quickie if no one was around, which despite his anxiety, he often acquiesces to.

While You Were Sleeping - Belkacaramelka (71k)

The one where quirkless fanboy Midoriya Izuku rescues Pro Hero Todoroki Shouto, gets mistaken as his fiancé while he is in a coma, and gets caught up in the most unlikely fake engagement... until his childhood enemy and Todoroki's classmate Bakugou Katsuki tries to catch him out, and they both end up discovering a lot more about each other than they'd expected.

Quirkless AU based on the film; endgame BakuDeku. -- Katsuki didn’t know when the change had happened: how he had gone from asking why Todoroki chose Deku of all people, to wondering why it was Todoroki that Deku chose. Troublesome Deku, who cooed like an idiot at cats, tripped at a random catcall and sang badly. Who, despite everything, proved that it wasn’t the quirk that defined a person. Deku, who was too much, not his, and undeniably off limits to begin with.

briar roses (and hundred years of sleep) - vannral (16k)

In complete honesty, no one who knows the Class 3-A should be surprised anymore. Izuku is asleep.

Yes, They’re All Safe - teaandtumblr (5k)

Villains have entered UA grounds and are disposed of just as quickly, but that doesn't mean a headcount of the students doesn't need to be done. Toshinori would admit, he wasn't quite prepared for what he found in Bakugou Katsuki's room.

💥 all choked up - spicyrabbit (5k)

Bakugou Katsuki had a habit of turning away from the heard. At 16, he does this by coming to terms with wanting, desperately, to see his childhood friend cry.

💥 We Wear Chains on the Weekend - surveycorpsjean (35k)

Well, in a day of revelations, it turns out that Izuku isn't as vanilla as Katsuki previously thought. Unfortunately, that fascinating discovery is overshadowed by Izuku's dumbassery, because he has zero concept of aftercare.

"Don't go to anyone else," Katsuki says, because screw it. He can do a better job anyways.

Or; Katsuki finds Izuku on a bad drop.

take me out to dinner first - dynamighttiddy (3k)

“Kacchan,” Deku chides. “What’s going on?”

“So, uh,” Kirishima starts. “Was that your first kiss?” he whispers, almost sheepish. Katsuki’s stomach drops, and he freezes. Memories of green eyes and freckles and soft lips flash behind his eyelids. “Yeah,” he lies easily. “That was my first kiss.”

-----

In which Bakugou pretends Kirishima is his first kiss, amongst other things.

to the moon and back - kewltie (1k)

"He gets stupid when he's drunk," Katsuki seethes in his seat as he watches Izuku croon love notes into Uraraka's throat. He’d never met a worst lightweight then Deku, who become some kind of demented affectionate monster.

💥 Bridges - supercrunch (18k)

Yaomomo sighs. “We’ve got a little bit of a situation, Bakugou. Ashi—uhm, somebody might have accidentally signed you up for that modelling gig.”

Katsuki holds up a hand. "So what you’re telling me here," he says, "is that you told Calvin Klein I would model for them. In my underwear.”

Ashido sinks behind a desk to hide. “Yes.”

(The thing is, they really do need the money. And Katsuki's technically the leader of this bunch of morons, so he finds himself taking the job even though his pride will never recover. And even though nobody thought to tell him that he'd be working with his ex-boyfriend. You know, the cute freckled guy from high school who went and broke his heart.

So, yeah. This whole situation kind of sucks.)

Mitsuki pats his cheek. “Oh, hon. Not at all.”

💥 Dance Bunny - EllaBesmirched (17k)

Katsuki Bakugou spends most week nights by himself, sitting in a corner at his local strip club and passing time until he feels tired enough to sleep. Work leaves him stressed and the new city he moved to a year ago is just different enough that he can't sleep at night and can't seem to get comfortable no matter where he is.

When he finally changes up his schedule and decides to head to the club on a Saturday night, he is instantly infatuated with a part-time dancer who can do things with his body that Katsuki didn't even know were possible. The dancer calls himself Bunny. By the second lap dance, Katsuki realizes he is in trouble.

but the entrails are the best part! - supercrunch (15k)

The boy straightens up. He’s about half a head shorter than Katsuki, face soft and youthful and sweet. He turns to look at him properly. His dark hair shines in the dying light, basket of blooms looped over one arm and mouth quirked into a tiny half-smile. The sun hits his face and makes his eyes a bright greeny-gold, just like emeralds.

Katsuki likes emeralds.

“Pretty,” he says, reaching out and picking the stranger up around the middle. He’s surprisingly heavy, although Katsuki doesn’t mind. “I like you. Come see my nest.”

The boy hits him.

He’s stronger than he looks, turns out. Katsuki drops him and falls onto his back, pain blooming across his face. Birds sing. The sky’s a lovely shade of orange, clouds floating lazily by. The boy scarpers. He leaves his basket of flowers behind, footsteps thumping on the ground and fading away as he escapes.

The sun sets. Katsuki, lying flat on his back with a bloody nose, decides he’s just fallen in love.

Midoriya Izuku has never been asked out, confessed to, or flirted with, except as a joke.

Riddles in the Heart - PitViperOfDoom (19k)

The law is clear: whoever correctly answers three riddles will marry the prince, while all who fail are to be executed. The people live in fear as more challengers try and fail, and the throne grows bloodier with every passing year. But a young prince, nameless and in exile from his home, believes there may be more to this brutal challenge than meets the eye.

Of course, there's only one way to find out: ring the gong, and take the trial.

Late bloomer - Nohaljiachi (10k)

That’s why when they’ve found themselves face to face on the ring of the sport festival once more, for the third time ever since they’ve met each other, and Izuku smiled at him, eager and challenging, self-confident but never full of himself, Shouto blinked, dazed and shocked, in realizing just how blindingly beautiful his best friend was. The way Izuku’s white shirt clung on his muscles, the little peek of his collar bone and the hard lines of his pecs visible under it, the way his thighs curved and filled the school gym uniform.

‘Oh, fuck—‘ Shouto thought, his head spinning, feeling like he just got run over by a freight train. ‘Shit. He’s- hot?’

Burn and Breathe - PitViperOfDoom (11k)

Soulmates are connected through pain, and some bonds have more to share than others. Todoroki Shouto wishes he could reject his soulmate. Midoriya wants nothing more than to protect his own.

one string, fit for a bow - furihatachlookie (5k)

There was no magical moment that played a part in Midoriya's realization that he liked Todoroki. The thin red string that greeted him every time he looked down at his hand was an obvious factor, yes, but it wasn't love at first sight either.

It sorta just... happened over time.

fire and feelings - kagshina (8k)

“Uh…” he starts, eyes widening. “Your finger’s on fire.”

Todoroki’s face scrunches together, confused, and then he looks down, noticing the flame. Midoriya watches as shock flashes across Todoroki’s face, and then horror, and then finally settles on embarrassment as he puts out the flame.

“Shit,” Todoroki mumbles, and Midoriya’s lip curves upward.

💥 Fire in the Mountains - EllaBesmirched (168k)

“I’ll do it.”

Enji froze, fingers curling into a fist at his side, and didn’t turn around.

Shouto froze too, feeling his own eyes widen in shock at the words that had come out of his mouth, at the fact that he had actually stood up, followed his father out of the room, and dashed after him all just to say… he’d do it? He would do it? Him. Shouto Todoroki. He would--

Enji finally turned around and fixed Shouto with an expression so scathing, Shouto had to fight to keep his chin raised. “You’ll marry the Barbarian King.”

Shouto blinked. “Yes.”

He’s handsome, albeit in an annoying way, hair dyed two colours to match his heterochromia and skin pale and perfect and smooth. He looks expensive. “Bakugou.”

“That’s me,” Bakugou says. “You’re younger than I expected.”

“I’m older than I look.”

Katsuki pushes her shirt up to kiss her stomach. It’s silly, how it makes her heart flutter, how Izuku’s whispered I love you threatens to make her cry all over again. They’re unwrapping her from her clothes. They won’t let her hide, she thinks numbly. Won’t let her curl in on herself like she’s something dirty, Katsuki’s hands tugging off her underwear so she’s naked and exposed between them. “I,” she says breathlessly. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be crying. I’m just being dumb.”

Izuku shushes her. Another tear trickles down her cheek and into her ear. He kisses it away, humming, brushing her bangs off her forehead so he can press his mouth between her brows. “You have every right to be upset. We’ll deal with him later. For now just let us take care of you.”

“She’ll get the message once you stop talking and fuck her,” Katsuki says, slipping his fingers into her. She clenches around him and shudders. “Gonna eat you out ‘til you forget how to move. Now put that fucking motor mouth to good use, Deku.”

Tues 30 March ‘21

Happy Tuesday! And to make it a happier tuesday, here’s Louis bursting on the scene to spread some cheer: “every day is a day closer to the first show back!” And that’s just the beginning! Someone asks if he has thought about making a documentary-- “already on it love” he replied. Listen yes, we knew that was what he and Charlie Lightening were up to BUT STILL- OMG!!! SOOO cool. Some people are not so sure but me, I think it’ll be awesome- cannot wait! Trust in Louis yall. And just to prove he’s a man you can trust he reacts in the ONLY correct way to react a dog modeling Walls merch-- “haha love that.” It’s wearing a bucket hat!! The Clifford picture we deserve tbh but for now this is excellent. He also said “got a decent chorus idea down” about what he’s been up to and doubled down on his most hotly debated tweet of recent times, 369. “Explain pls” begged a fan; “369” said Louis again, faaaanks for that love. That’s our guy, always forthcoming about his tattoos! Hahaha. AND THEN he responds to a tweet about how we always read too much into things but that he also trolls us with mystery posts: “fair comment”. WOW. He is truly a little shit and that is that on that! The man we love to hate ladies and theydies! And more on the louie topic of the moment people actually kind of hate, the NFTs. He’s asked about his recent follows and says, “some cool nft companies. I've been trying to educate myself in everything that already exists in that space.”

This year is gucci’s 100th anniversary I guess, and they are marking it by making a push to sell handbags, which means new pictures of Harry with a purses! Or so one can assume, the preview image we’ve seen so far is just his scruffy face, a lot of fluffy fur (on his Macklemore looking coat I mean but there is a lot of Harry hair on display too), and his dick necklace peeping out of the lapel of his shirt, looking extra obscene tbh cause the banana part is covered up so it’s just little unsolicited dick pic hiding in Harry’s chest hair, good lord. Yes yes we know babe you love gucci and dick and your gucci dick banana… anyway, the campaign drops April 22. It’s shot by Harmony Korine, who is a filmmaker, and a set director posted about working on a gucci commercial featuring Harry and Dakota Johnson back in Jan in LA so it seems safe to say there will be moving images to come. And speaking of Harry and filming, Heidi Gardner talked about doing SNL with Harry and told a story about him being reluctant to touch her shoulders for their sketch until she brought it up, and then him saying he was waiting for an explicit invitation to touch her. Aw, that’s our Harry; thoughtful and anxious. I feel like he works so hard to model the behavior he wants people to use towards him like, ‘people please I am begging can you please just be NICE and be respectful and stop grabbing me’, or maybe it’s just that he really understands firsthand how awful it feels to have your boundaries violated- either way I would love to manifest the same respect for him.

Ingrid Michaelson did a patreon live and talked about To Begin Again and how great having Zayn on the track has been; “Zayn's fans are intense. Very sweet. Aggressively supportive I think is the right word.” AHAHAHAHA YES ‘aggressively supportive’ might be the most perfect term anyone has ever coined for any subset of 1D fans so once again, HATS OFF to Ingrid the poet for a winning turn of phrase that I will certainly be using for a long time to come! She also said that the music video will be out in early April (and that it’s “a proper music video. It's not like your standard two people in a studio singing blah blah. It's different.”) Oh yeah and also that… Zayn and Gigi are married??! She said, “We’ve never met, I’ve never spoken to him. Zayn doesn’t do stuff he doesn’t wanna do and the fact that he did this song is very flattering. He’s such a private person and now he’s married and has a child so he does the things he wants to do…” prompting mass chaos in the zquad, but she later confirmed that she had just misspoken/ made an assumption based on their cohabiting and having a child together. And speaking of twitter leaping at the chance to go bananas over nothing, thousands flipped out because Lottie posted her gift bag from the Brits like “this means Louis is nominated for a Brit”!!! Lol WHAT? She got it cause she’s an influencer, but more to the point how does the SISTER of the nominee getting a gift bag make sense in any universe, you think they’re just looking up peoples’ family trees and everyone’s aunt gets a present like… WHAT??? Oh and also that they’re spilling the beans via gift bags before the big reveal… everything about that is ridiculous. Again, I’m sorry to say that I will be very surprised if Louis gets a nom but either way, we’ll find out tomorrow and not before.

And! You can bid now on a giant orange football jersey signed by Liam (or just look at the cute pic of him holding it)! It’s a benefit for the Wolves Foundation (a network of foodbanks in Liam’s hometown Wolverhampton, it’s unrelated to the criminally underrated 1D song alas). I hear it calling for you…

And finally, tune in tomorrow for Harry as Starfox rumors pt 369, this time For Real (only hmm nope probably not)

#Louis tomlinson #harry styles #liam payne #zayn #so I have to admit that even in the time since yesterday I’ve looked at the NFT stuff more and am a little more interested #some of what other bands are using them for is cool and I can see why it’s the sort of stuff that makes sense with louis’ fanbase #exclusive special perks that play out over the long term and stuff #the main thing that I find super annoying about them is using the gimmicky platform to add a lot of invented value #to something that on its own isn’t worth much #but Louis wouldn’t do that. it’s true he has done a few merch items that were inaccessible… so it isn’t impossible… #but he always also has accessible stuff and I feel like that’s pretty rare #(ALTHOUGH shoutout to the HOOPS I had to go through to get that JHO vinyl without bankrupting myself FUCKING HELL) #but here’s the thing- the stuff that I see that seems like he could do and have it be cool #I REALLY don’t see how it would need to be an NFT and not just a special offer like I just do not understand how that’s a necessary part of #the picture #so that’s where it just feels like a stupid gimmick to me. but I guess we’ll see (or I’ll gain a better understanding about the whole thing #I do admit… it’s currently a bit shaky) #also lol @ the NFT blog that followed me yesterday I’m assuming that’s a bot and an error #and me aside: I see everyone inthe tags being like UGH NO <3 #he's gonna have an uphill battle with this one I think to win over the hearts and minds to the platform #30 mar 21 #when I saw people were flipping about lottie's post I thought it was cause she circled a blue and green part of the pic #and I thought I was doing a pretty great job of tapping into the twarrie mind #but I truly cannot even follow where these things actually go I would NEVER have thought of that

VIKINGS - 6.01 + 6.02

OMG. It's so weird to think I've seen the last first episode of this series that I've loved so dearly and is now one of my favorites. *Bittersweet symphony starts playing*

I've seen that Gustaf's name is not on the cast list of the opening anymore, so... is Floki dead? I honestly don't know what to think, especially with that Flatnose dude who is sketchy af. I wanna know what happened to him, ugh.

Lagertha. Bitch doesn't even have a single wrinkle, that's kind of embarrassing to be honest.

That flashback in which she sees Ragnar and Gyda (wow, somebody in the writer's room remembered about her, thank god) really broke my heart. Yo, everytime I see Ragnar I get emotional, don't judge. It's been a long way and so many things happened and it's just strange to think this will be the last season.

I absolutely loved the scene of Lagertha burying her sword and making the vow that she will no longer be a shieldmaiden. It was really well executed, kudos to Katheryne!

Is Lagertha going to keep her promise, though? It seems like she's going to be in a very dangerous situation soon, so... IDK, was the scene I mentioned before totally useless? I'm kinda confused about Lagertha's character, because it almost seems like the writers have noticed that most of the fandom doesn't like her as much anymore and they're somehow trying to redeem her by not letting her get involved with Ragnarssons business anymore... I'm not sure, though, we'll see which direction her character's gonna take.

Björn. Okay, Alexander is fine as fuck. That buzzcut is just *chef kiss*.

That said, y'all know I love my big bear and I know he means well, but he needs to get it together asap. He's a king, for fuck's sake! I wouldn't be surprised if he asked me an opinion about the whole Harald (woah, he's alive... kinda) situation. I honestly though he was gonna be a way better ruler, but the premises aren't that great. I'm sorry boo boo.

Gunnhild. I like her. She reminds me of both season1!Lagertha and Aslaug. I'm looking forward to knowing of her character. Also, I love her demeanor.

Ubbe and Torvi. Bruh. I love those two and their relationship. I admit I was very skeptical when they first got together (I though 'oh another weird kinda creepy in-familia Viking relationship, yikes'), but now I truly appreciate them. They're honestly very cute.

I love Ubbe, he's so kind-hearted and just adorable, a true cinnamon roll, but I think that his kindness is soon gonna be his biggest weakness, causing him trouble. In this sense, he reminds me a lot of Alfred and speaking of him... where the Saxons at? Is their storyline over..? I feel like we're not gonna hear of them any time soon/ever. This kinda sucks because I wanted my fair dose of Ulfred content, but it is what it is.

Torvi is preggo! Y'all, this whole time I thought she had a child with Björn and a child with Ubbe already. I'm stupid LOL I really like her character, she's grown on me so damn much.

Hvitserk. I had a lot of hope for him this season, thinking he would finally show what he's capable of, but hell nah, they really did my man dirty. It's sad because I kinda don't even feel sorry for him... at this point his presence mostly annoys me. However, he said an important thing during his delirium: "Only Ivar matters", he's so right guys. Björn is focusing on the wrong problem -- again, he needs to act smarter.

I've got a question: was Hvitserk eating the same herbs Yidu used to give Ragnar at some point?

Last but not least, Ivar and Prince Olag. The montage of Ivar looking at those animals with curious, wide eyes was really beautiful to see -- I hope they don't abuse the slow motion, though.

Oleg Is intriguing. He's totally crazy and for the first time ever, I've seen Ivar being both fascinated and scared of someone -- that's new!

The scene of the two of them flying together (I don't know how to explain it better, sorry..?) was so cute and guys, you know me... of course I ship them already! Who in their right mind wouldn't?!

Jokes aside, I really like the fact that Oleg opened up to Ivar and told him about his (romantic) past, basically giving us the answer to why they immediately clicked so well. They're very similar and they have so much in common. "I think you and I are going to have a very special relationship. I truly think so..." c'mon, just get married already!

Oleg poisoned the wine and watched his brother drink it... didn't it give you war flashbacks to when Kwenthrith did the same thing while Ragnar and King Ecbert poured the wine on the floor. Oh, the good ol' days... I'm so nostalgic, oh my god.

That dance Oleg made... that's me dancing whenever I'm drunk af.

The little moment between Ivar and Igor (every time they mention him I think of my man Tyler, the Creator LMFAO) was so damn cute. Alex is super young and basically doesn't have any facial hair, so I always forget Ivar is supposed to be a grown adult with kids -- all that and all I wanna say is that Ivar would be such a caring and loveable father, he truly enjoyed spending time with little Igor* (bruh, does he speak at all? LOL)

It was good to see my Viking folks; I feel like the enthusiasm I lost during season 5 (especially 5b) finally came back to mama: now I genuinely want to know what's going to happen next and I'm excited for this season. I don't have any type of particular expectations (except, @ Björn: do better!), which I think it's good..?

We'll see.

*he reminds me a lot of Cal from Manifest.

the half of it liveblog

LET’S GO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE MARCH hi. my name is abby, and this is me watching the half of it

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

i have big gay expectations for this movie

as an asian wlw, i do NOT want to be disappointed

starting NOW

fuck YES this animation is beautiful

plato. this movie is already calling out my dumb gay ass

they did really good casting with ellie! imagine having a movie with high schoolers that LOOK LIKE HIGH SCHOOLERS

chugga chugga chu chu? SQUARE UP BITCH

OMG paul and ellie’s first meeting is iconic

“i’m not looking to cheat” “no one is”

“gET a thESaURus uSE a speLLcHecKer gOOd luCk rOMeo”

this is an accurate representation of hold times istg

IS THIS A MEET CUTE?!

aster looks so tired but wowowowowow she is hecking beautiful

ellie is a disaster gay

exhibit 1: staring at aster in band

exhibit 2: “i’m ellie chu?!?!?!”

exhibit 3: more staring in the hallway

staring/longing is the peak gay experience

she is FINALLY charging acceptable prices for writing

i’d ask $15 for two page

maybe she just loves writing

can’t relate

“SHE’S LIKE ALL THREE” paul you eloquent mf

he’s a ROMANTIC... but so bad with words omg

“yah my grandma’s dead wanna go out with me”

“love makes you screwy. don’t you get screwy?”

istg you dumb jock ily

in love, one always starts by deceiving oneself... and ends by deceiving others

PAUL OMG

i LOokED uP PLaiGiAriZed

...

wow i had to stop for like 8 minutes there to properly watch their letters play out

the way alice wu spins this story is absolutely gorgeous

aster and ellie are so in sync and understanding of each other

the art, the words, the letters

everything just meshes together perfectly and i’m already in love with their story, whether or not there’s a happy ending

oh ho ho... paul....

no but he’s totally right

dating is burgers and fries and ice cream and whatnot

love is what ellie and aster have been doing– the talking and the listening and the understanding

smithcorona ahaha

“i love... nazis” paul you good there

oh honey you understand nothing

LMAO i love how ellie’s riding away on her bike and paul’s just bent over in the background PERFECTLY poised to pick up a rock

YES! jock + lesbian friendship

“hi ellie chu’s dad” has the same energy as “mr. jack’s dad” and “mr. sir” if u know what i’m talking about (check, please! mutuals hi)

yeSSIR yeSSIR

i love how paul just treats this like drills he has to run

jocks, man

PFPDFSLDKJF HE GOT FASTER AHAHAHA

why do neither of them know how to play ping pong istg

i love one (1) girl that laughs at horror movies

omg my anxious ass would be terrified if i thought someone was watching me

oh, i thought that line was about aster

but it still makes sense in a friendship way

and this IS a friendship movie so it does make sense

my coward ass would’ve never brought a boy home in high school

especially not to my enthusiastic italian father

besides i only ever dated one person and she was a girl and i hadn’t come out to my parents yet

kudos to ellie

oh i just realized that aster’s christian

does that influence her views on lgbtq?

probably

oh, ellie

watching that made me tear up

god, falling for someone who doesn’t know that you’re you

this english teacher is fckin hilarious

and also totally not a romantic lmao

OMG FATHER SHANLEY

AHAHAHAHA

“world’s asleep. more room for secrets”

now THAT’S what love feels like

falling in love with the little things

wait he doesn’t say “you like aster?”

THEY SCAMMED US

...does he support her or not

paul munsky say something

oh he realizes that he doesn’t know what love is not that ellie likes aster

“if love isn’t the effort you put in”

i love this friendship and paul’s quiet wisdom

oh boy there are weird chewing noises

TACO SAUSAGE!

aww paul’s a romantic and ellie’s hilarious

seeing “guy” makes my heart hurt

aw ellie have a little faith in our dumb jock <3

this is so cute and super awkward

i feel like i did this at some point in high school

OMG PAUL WHAT ARE YOU DOING

what just happened

awww he’s so enthusiastic

bitch what the fuck is “a look”

CONSENT

wtf is this a fucking rave

WTF ARE YOU BITCHES DOING

are high schools like this now??? is everyone fucking horrid?

yes girl play your song

wait a sec can they all hear her without a mic

she wrote that? that’s so sweet <3

awwwwwwww

but that’s so cliché

it’s literally high school musical

oh boy now she’s POPULAR?

i love their friendship so much

OOP

awwww I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP

omg what? shoes in the house? shoes ON THE BED? DISGRACE PAUL MUNSKY

jk him caring for her is literally so cute

i’m glad we can have that platonically

she did that for him? aww

the way she spits out the advil is hilarious

OMG ASTER?!?

i bet she thinks ellie and paul are dating

oof

“it’s paul’s chinese friend” who the FUCK do you think you are? STEP THE FUCK UP KAREN

oh it’s the daisy!

it’s gorgeous

i feel like aster definitely suspects something

OH THEY’RE SPENDING THE DAY TOGETHER

i have no idea what she does at the station?!?

“SECRET PLACE” oh lawd

aster definitely knows it’s ellie

i wish i had a secret pond

but alas

i am just a poor city girl

ellie is a disaster gay and i am living for it

LONG UNDERWEAR ellie is prepared for all situations

paul is so sweet that’s adorable

“i don’t think i’ve ever hung out with a girl and not talked about boys before” the GAY is showing and i love it

but love isn’t about feeling safe

it’s about feeling adventurous but being safe

you’re in HIGH SCHOOL why tf r u thinking about marriage?

oml don’t get married to trig he’s a fucking idiot

i lowkey thought they were going to kiss

and then ellie “i am a RUSSIAN DOLL of clothing!!1!1!”

sdlkfjsdlkf

AHADHSFDSJFLDSKFJLESKF PAUL LOOKS SO NERVOUS

when my asian mom did this, my white dad would look just like him, even after literally decades of marriage

WOAH the visuals

just... two people looking at the same sky

so intimate

“gravity is matter’s response to loneliness”

that’s so deep but all i can think of is r/showerthoughts

just two girls discussing their deepest beliefs and secrets in a spring

i would like to do that pls

lmao ellie’s dad and paul are besties now

oh

oh ellie

COLLEGE you deserve to go to college!

omg aster and paul’s height difference

paul’s siblings are hilarious lmao

SLDKFJSDL “A BUNCH OF GUYS SNIFFING EACH OTHERS’ BUTTS” is maybe the most accurate description of high school sports

guess all that running really paid off paul

“squahamish scores for the first time in 50 yrs” i-

ellie trying to finesse the yakult is the funniest thing

what the FUCK just happened

what

what

what

that was like watching a train wreck in slo-mo

paul WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

WHAT THE FUCK

dkjlsfdksjlfkldsjf

i have zero words.

...trig

is he ok

who sprayed him? was it paul or ellie’s dad??

oh god literally all three of them are ruined

paul! he’s trying! and that matters!

he’s been taught to condemn it

but he supports his friend first and foremost

so he tries to understand and accept it

...oh no paul’s mother

ellie looks so sad :(

ugh i’m crying

she had to grow up too quickly because of her mother’s death

“have you ever loved someone so much you don’t want anything about them to change?”

i’m so emotional

SKSKSK “i had to grind something” homophobic mother looks up

the fuck is “little lady”

oh i get it he’s proposing

trig is literally the human manifestation of microaggression

ASTER DON’T DO IT

ELLIE?!

the painting metaphor is back and i am not ok

AND I OOP- she slapped him ok ok ok

“mommy wants you to know that in case you are gay, mommy still loves you” “no mom i’m not gay” “thank god” “i might want to change your sausage recipe though” “are you INSANE?” THIS IS AN EXACT PARALLEL to when bitty came out and mama bittle still loved him but then the JAM (hello again check please mutuals if ur still here ily)

lmao the english teacher “now that is some divine intervention” she is neutral evil and i am LIVING for it (bet she’s wlw too)

“you don’t mean dead, right” SLDFKJSDL

“love is messy and horrible and selfish... and bold.” -ellie chu

that’s fucking beautiful

aster looks... so tired

COLLEGE YES SHE’S GOING TO COLLEGE

i have no words i just want to watch this and cry

they kissed.

they KISSED.

“i’ll see you in a couple of years”

i love that they don’t end up together

that they know that they should wait, that it’s not their time yet

because love is “the trying, and the reaching, and the failing”

ellie looks so happy

she’s comfortable in her own skin

FINALLY

she deserves everything

omg the emojis slap

her dad’s conductor? station master? idk but he’s working again and i’m so proud of him

is paul seriously giving her sausage

lmao

“too smart to be crying on the platform like a wussy” “i’m not crying” “wussy” underrated exchange of the year

paul chasing after ellie on the train is so sweet

i’m sobbing

“moron”

ugh

she looks so content and i love that for her

that’s the end

if you made it this far, congrats! 

overall 10/10

it’s such a sweet movie it’s well paced, well written, and well shot

time to go see if there’s any fic

bye!

Boots Reads Homestuck Epilogue(s) Part 11 - Candy Page 12

==>

Alright, looks like Jake and Jane had an active night and now Jake’s going to distance himself again.

Yeah you’re pretty afraid of closing this distance with Jane.  You REALLY don’t want it, do you?

JANE: Lighten up Jake! The election’s off! The economy is stable! Dirk is probably never going to talk to us ever again! And we just... we finally fucked. Hoo hoo hoo!

Okay seeing that “Hoo hoo hoo!” at the end of the sentence makes it really fucking uncomfortable somehow.

Something catches the corner of his eye, and he swivels his head around to see the Trickster Lollipop on his bedside table.

JANE I THOUGHT YOU WEREN’T GOING TO BE SUCH A SCUMBAG THIS TIME AROUND WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO????

far more sets of underwear than the number of people accounted for in the room.

Yeah that sounds about like what might happen with the lollipop thrown in.

Okay at least it was Jake’s idea??? that makes it... ALMOST... better... but not really..??

Oh God, and Jake just does the pushover thing and rolls with it only because he thinks he SHOULD, not because he wants to.  Fuck.

==>

Mhmm.  There’s always a thick sense that “what would Bro tell me to do” was thick in everything Dave did hanging over him like a shadow.  Interesting that here it manifests as that Meta voice he was using in Meat or whatever.

Is Dirk even going to be there, or has he fled entirely?

Gamzee, what the fuck are you doing.  Forceful character arc intervention?  Is that what you did with Roxy somehow?

...is Gamzee toying with the narrative now that Dirk has fled or something??

...okay there’s some author worship going on or some such?

Dave how do you even know who Pagliacci is.

Okay there’s the Rose bot, and an ominous note.  Suicide note? Self-Decapitation note, again?  Hm.

==>

Epilogue Three

Okay, that’s some startlingly abrupt pathmaking toward suicide.  I was warned that there was a vivid description of the leadup to suicide in Candy somewhere, so I’ll try to talk only lightly about it as I read.

Your legs feel impressively powerful as you begin to climb the staircase

Nice Meat callback at least.

A flip of the cosmic coin has rendered your entire life completely inessential. What could you accomplish in a dead-end existence like this? There are no stakes. No meaningful challenges. No structures or themes—only residual chemical reactions in a dying brain, a physical system’s obligate compulsion to exhaust its own lingering momentum. A cockroach with its head cut off, waiting to die of thirst.

Wow, yeah, you REALLY can’t stand living in a world where you don’t hold some sort of Light-y relevance, can you?  So much so that you were willing to steal Light away from the story entirely just to have more to carry with you in the flipside.  Is this supposed to sort of embody the comeuppance you didn’t get in the other half, the way you’re offing yourself here?  Weird.

Your friends might derive some sense of fulfillment from satisfying the elementary obligations of self-preservation and self-propagation, but there’s nothing here for you. It doesn’t matter anymore.

HOW ABOUT LIVING HAPPY LIVES AND NOT GETTING STUCK IN COMAS YOU ASSHOLE

Seriously, that whole Meat part, the... the four things I really couldn’t stand being left with were Jane’s fate, Jade’s situation, ROSE’s unenviable situation, and Dirk being allowed to escape without consequence.  Three of my favorite characters left on doomed paths or basically IN COMAS, constantly having their agency quashed by others or forced away from anything that could have corrected their disastrous path (Jane’s) by Dirk’s meddling.  A line being drawn in the sand that clearly stated CANON ENDS HERE, before any of them could wake up or stop FUCKING SUFFERING.  Jesus Christ.  I just wanted some loose ends tied up by this epilogue, I didn’t need the characters’ POSSIBLE HAPPINESS to be left unresolved with a likely “NO” as the answer??!???  THEY DIDN’T COME ALL THIS WAY AND SACRIFICE AND WIN FOR JUST THAT!  DIRK STOLE THE FUCKING ULTIMATE REWARD FROM THEM OUT OF NOWHERE!

*breathes*

FUCK.  So, yeah, on to seeing Dirk either die or get stopped by Dave somehow because he still needs him or whatever.

Ew, self-decapitation indeed.  You narcissistic fuck.

When you think so little of yourself as a moral character, any act of self-termination will result in a death that is Just.

Huh.  So that influences the way the clock judges you, hm?

==>

A damn funeral, huh.

He looks at Roxy, who is staring at the floor, rather beside herself in grief.

Oh thank goodness, a glimpse at her line to Gamz had me thinking she was in weird happy-stuck Candy mode still, that would have fucked this scene a bunch.

...IS Dave really more eloquent than you, though?

Dave’s long speech--

Oh my gosh I just realized during this speech how UTTERLY FUCKED of Andrew people must have thought this Dirk suicide section was if they chose Candy FIRST.  Jesus dick.

End of speech.  Jane, stop being so remarkably fucking composed.  Unless Dirk’s plans and machinations really hurt you as much as you let on when you expressed seemingly-mock excitement that you’d “never hear from him again”.

Fuck you Gamzee.

ROXY: BRAVO!!! DAMN I FEEL LIKE IF I NEVER HEARD ANOTHER WORD THIS GUY EVER SAID THATD BE FINE BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL JUST SO *PERFECT*

Thanks for coming to your senses Roxy, better late than never I guess.

Dave dips down so that their noses are bumping. Karkat’s eyes are so wide it’s amazing they don’t pop out. For a moment, it looks like they’re going to...

John sneezes.

Oh COME ON, John.  :(

JOHN: i have no idea why i did that. now i have this whole memory in my head that i could have definitely lived without.

Me after reading the Meat epilogue.

Huh, offering to undo the death.  That IS potentially a little bit insensitive, as obvious and necessary a question it is to ask, even if the answer is no.

DAVE: dirk was a complicated guy DAVE: dude obviously had reasons for doing what he did DAVE: if you go back and just rewrite his decision DAVE: thats like denying him his personal autonomy

Exactly.

A courtesy that Dirk, funny enough, wouldn’t have given anyone else.  The fucking prick.

--Yep, they’re too far outside of canon for his retcon powers to work anymore.  Rose told him on the last day he could.

Roxy what the hell are you doing.

ROXY: we should get hitched

No, you should ANSWER WHY YOU LEFT CALLIOPE HANGING and THEN decide LIKE ADULTS to do whatever you all feel like doing.  This isn’t legitimate if you’re HIDING most of the situation in Voidy shadow!  If you really DO want this, then do it properly and HONESTLY!!!!

JOHN: you... JOHN: LOVE me?? ROXY: yea john i love you ROXY: wanna marry u and spend the rest of my life with u and pop out a bunch of cute lil buck toothed babies with you JOHN: oh, uh. haha, wow. roxy that’s um. JOHN: that’s a LOT.

Yeah, this isn’t how it should go.  WOULD go.  Something’s seriously wrong with Roxy right now and I hope John figures out how to bring them to the forefront so they can come to an honest decision.

Just a few weeks ago, Roxy was happy with Calliope, and now she wants to have his babies? John feels like he’s missing something important here, like he went for a bathroom break during the part of the movie where the plot twist happens.

Exactly.  And you haven’t even had time to process how you feel about HER again.  If something’s off, make it NOT off before you say yes.

Roxy practically attacks John’s mouth, she’s so excited. John shuts his eyes and kisses her back, still giddy and laughing against her lips. She kisses him until they’re both breathless, then pulls back so that she can gaze at him with glittering eyes.

ROXY: omg ROXY: were gonna be SO freakin happy!

Yyyyeah, THAT was ominous.  Someone’s definitely fucking with this situation behind the scenes.  ...Maybe Roxy’s been hitting the Lollipop too when the camera’s away from her?

==>

Dammit, we skipped to the wedding without resolving ANY of their fucking issues first.  This is bad.

--oh my god we skipped to months PAST the wedding too.

JOHN: jane and jake are kinda, um, together now. TEREZI: OH GOD JOHN: and she basically ordered jake to catch the bouquet “or else.” JOHN: i was seriously afraid for him. and then he didn’t even catch it!

Jane.  Jane, come the fuck on.

Can’t we get ONE TIMELINE where Jane doesn’t end up terrible????  D:

JOHN: yeah. they’re all dating. JOHN: or rather... jade is dating them both. JOHN: dave and karkat haven’t... exactly figured things out yet. JOHN: and as much as i love jade, i don’t actually think she’s helped matters by putting herself in the middle of it. TEREZI: HMM >:[ TEREZI: SOM3HOW TH4T DO3SNT S33M R1GHT JOHN: i know.

Jade, you can’t force these things!!!

Can’t we get ONE TIMELINE where Jade doesn’t end up unhappy???? D:

JOHN: now i have to pretend to laugh and think it’s funny when she makes jokes about being the next to “tie the knot.” TEREZI: WOW D1D SH3 R34LLY GO FOR TH4T DOUBL3 3NT3NDR3 JOHN: what? TEREZI: WH4T JOHN: what do you mean? TEREZI: N3V3R M1ND

Jegus Christ.  Terezi, WHY did you have to go there.  I’ve seen enough nsfw RP to know exactly the fuckery you’re alluding to with Jade, NO.

JOHN: things’ll probably work out with those three anyway. things always work out between old friends. JOHN: we’ve all known each other for too long for anything to cause a permanent rift.

Fucking allusions to the Meat section...  D:

...okay, babies time.  There are babies.  Or at least one Roxy pregnancy and that earlier Vriskgrub.

TEREZI: 1T JUST S33MS... K1ND4 F4ST

YES, YES IT DOES.

TEREZI: 1 4LR34DY H34RD 4BOUT HOW J4N3 1S D4T1NG BOTH J4K3 *4ND* G4MZ33 4ND UNFORTUN4T3LY 1 DO B3L13V3 1T

JOHN: the whole thing is such a mess, it’s hard to be in the same room with them these days. JOHN: i don’t even know the full story because dave won’t talk to me about it anymore, and jade seems to think that everything’s going just fine.

Dammit Jade, you forced your way in too early!!!  D:

And why can’t Andrew at least PRETEND to give us a slight, fishing-line-thin possibility that Jade might POSSIBLY have any sort of chance at an endgame workable romance with ANY OF HER GOSH DARN FRIENDS AT ALL???????

I just want Jade to be happy okay jegus

Page 17... Someone told me to watch out for “Candy 18″ without any elaboration or context, so maybe I’ll split the post after this page so I can get to that one fresh? Hm!

My stomach is down to a low anxious simmer, so that’s good compared to before.  Maybe reading this whole Candy thing isn’t going to be so bad.  I can’t believe I’m not even halfway through.

He’s not sure why he feels the need to hide the fact that he’s talking to her.

Dammit, John.

It should be a beautiful image, but something about it roils John’s gut.

???

Is he catching on to some weird manipulation going on behind the scenes with his own metatextual awareness or?

Yep, Harry Anderson, heh.

He was. What’s bugging him about it is that Roxy didn’t seem to have any suggestions of her own.

YEAH THAT’S A HUGE GODDAMN RED FLAG RIGHT THERE.  WHAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE.

...Oh, huh.  Now John’s having a bit of panic about how everyone suddenly feels like things are completely resolved with Lord English when they aren’t.  And how Rose seems almost HYPNOTIZED into not worrying about it, along with many of the rest of them.

The three gals in the room exchange a series of concerned glances. Do they truly think he’s crazy? Are they hiding something from him? John can feel himself trembling. It’s not possible that he’s remembering this wrong, is it? It can’t be. If he presses his eyes shut, he can still see the lines of the black hole cracking space apart around him. It seemed like such a big deal at the time, and then suddenly it felt like nothing at all. Why?

Are they, though?  Do they know they’re in a split timeline of sorts, or...?

You’re the ones not doing okay, he nearly shouts, but then realizes it’s just going to make him sound crazier than he already looks.

Yeah this is all cracking at the seams.

ROXY: oh of course that makes sense

ROXY YOU’RE NOT THIS BRAINLESS WAKE THE FUCK UP

Hm, looks like John’s not as comfortable on the placid planet as he is with someone giving him SOME sort of broader purpose.  A lot like Dirk, but LESS FUCKED.

JOHN: i’ve got a beautiful wife who loves me, but it’s not enough. i can’t even talk to her about what we’re going to name our stupid kid without it turning into some weird thing where she just goes along with whatever i want. JOHN: even when all i want is for her to want something different than what i want!!!

It’s like Steven stuck in Rose’s Room with that Connie clone, SU-ways.

Alright, clicking the next button and starting page 18 in the next post.

Do luvin now

. — Luvin: Send me a ship and I’ll break them DOWN

How did they they meet?

Lucid catapulted her presence into the WRO by bringing Zack back from the dead, and then she stayed, and picked on Vincent until he fell in love w her. easy peasy. 

Who developed romantic feelings first?

Vincentttt. he’s a sweet lil romantic deep down, we all know it. and Lucid’s nice and understands being miserable in her own way, and she’s also like, a grandma in a hot Gongagan body so. /dab

Who is their biggest “shipper?”

IT’S. TIFA. you’d think it would be Zilly, but NO. Tifa loves love and she’s gonna ship her friends till she dies. 

When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances?

omg that was great. at an infiltration assignment in Junon, they got caught in a processing room where there were abunch of computers with data to access and hack, etc. and anyway Vincent was like “omg i just wanna make out w my girlfriend dude get out,” and the employee left, and he apologized, and then he unapologized and kissed Lucid again and it gives. me. life. 

Who confessed their feelings first?

i guess technically Vincent. with his mouth. LOL

What was their first official date?

i actually forget. i want to say their date was in Edge after the Junon thing, because they went to stay at Lucid’s for a bit, but i don’t know if that counts as a date or just being old adults who move too fast. 

How do they feel about double dates/group dates?

i think they’re okay with them. i think they like spending time with their friends, but i also think they’re too shy to be super pda in front of their friends. 

What do they do in their down time?

Vincent just mills. i mean, i think he cleans his guns and . . . does whatever broody sad bois do. Lucid sleeps, or when she’s home, she gardens. but mostly she sleeps because she expends so much energy for magic she’s on her last legs like 90% of the day. 

What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?

neither of them have parents anymore (or at all). but Lucid has her bisabuelo, who isn’t really her bisabuelo, just an older Ancient, and he’s a dick. so it went pretty well in regards to the fact that bisabuelo loves the fact that Vincent is a harbinger of Chaos. and that’s literally not a good thing. 

What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?

their first fight was over Lucretia. Vincent was mad that Lucid had opinions about how she allowed what happened to him to happen, and Lucid was mad that he was blind to how abused he was, and that he was apologetic for what Lucretia went through when literally, she let him suffer and wasn’t much better to him. they’re grown ups, so with a little time to cool off, they let it blow over, but Lucid actually really hasn’t gotten past that fight and she doesn’t like that she doesn’t feel like she can confront Vincent about letting himself be abused, and abusing himself for being abused. 

Which one is more easily made jealous?

Lucid. she doesn’t like to say it, but she’s posessive and defensive and will fight someone. it’s like that scene where Captain America starts to lift Thor’s hammer; she like kinda thinks it’s funny but also is very nervous about people who have any sort of advances towards Vincent. 

What is their favourite thing to get to eat?

i have no idea. Lucid doesn’t eat meat and Vincent only eats meat. i think they’re the most mismatched for food, so i imagine they have more difficult conversations about meals than expected. 

Who’s the cuddly one? What their favourite cuddling position?

Lucid’s a heat stealing lizard woman and a koala. she likes to have one arm draped on him and one leg. Vincent has no favourite position because he’s probably sweating to death. 

How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances?

like . . . i think it was like a week? they’re old and always dying. let them move fast.

Who tops?

UHH it depends LOL

Who does the shopping and the cooking?

Lucid, for the most part. she likes cooking, but i think they shop together because he likes to pick his own cuts of meat. Vincent cooks sometimes, because he’s a nice, romantic boi like that, and he always helps. 

Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?

both. Lucid is incredibly particular about the organization of her work supplies, and cleanliness comes with that. Vincent is very minimalist, and, ignoring the ancient house he’s letting rot in Kalm, he doesn’t have a lot of things, so he also keeps a pretty tidy space. Lucid, i guess, would be the sloppier one just based on the fact that she leaves books everywhere. 

Who proposes?

Vincent, because he’s a 62 year old gentleman

Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate?

both! i think everyone would pretty much wind up back at the 7th Heaven to have fun, so even if they start as separate outings, it ends with liquor at Tifa and Cloud’s. 

Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids?

Lucid has two maids of honour, because she loves Tifa and Illyria equally, but Tifa is less likely to be dying at any given moment, so she can take more phone calls about scheduling lol. Vincent probably picked Cid, as much as Cloud and Zack and Barret would complain. 

Big Ceremony or Small?

small !! they only have like 10 important people in their lives. but they’ll live forever so who knows, they can get married as many times as they want.

Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where?  

i think they’d compromise and go to Mideel, because the temperature is more tolerable than Costa del Sol, and Lucid would refuse to freeze to death at Icicle Inn. 

Do they have children? How many?

F I V E. resurrected essence of Sephiroth (long story) manifested by accident (also long story) is their first. he’s  a good boy and you can’t tell me he’s not. Vigo is second, and he’s everything that’s wrong with a witch’s infatuation with partially-Chaos!Vincent. he’s a terrible person, but he has glimmers of good in him. he’s also skinny as a pole, tan like his mom, and has the crow like features of his dad, so he’s a handsome boi. then there’s Terra and Irving, which means Vincent got one gun son, and Noct, who is Lucid’s sweetest prince, and is everything good about a witch’s infatuation with chaos!Vincent. (i think these kids may be the most cross-over we’ve ever done, and they’re good garbage). somehow, in all of the world saving and keeping up w 5 kids, they avoid a minivan.

Am I Ready to Surrender?

Like Bluto in the GIF I'm waving the white flag. I surrender! "To what?" you might be asking. Hard to say.

I've been fighting God for a very long time. But it wasn't always that way. I had a very emotionally intense "born again" experience during my senior year in high school. For five years or more, I considered myself to be a Christian who believed that the Bible was the inerrant Word of God. To me, if the Bible said it, I believed it LITERALLY...and that was final!

I sought God's will. I did all the crazy (read "immature") stuff that new Christians do. I prayed for parking spaces and to make that red light and I couldn't understand how God refused to honor my supplications. Imagine! The God of the Universe...the God that I worshipped...not doing what I asked! I reasoned that those things weren't really important and I chalked it up to my anthropomorphized god was just too busy. I accepted that...sort of.

I decided (notice I said, "I DECIDED") to become a minister. I didn't want to pastor a church or preach. I wanted to be a psychological counselor in the church. So, I applied to the University of San Diego for get a Religious Studies degree. USD is a Jesuit university and, if you know anything about the Caholic Orders, the Jesuits are the academics of the bunch.

I chose a Catholic university because they promised to let me grow in my own faith while the other schools (like Point Loma Nazarene University) were going to shove their religion down my throat with the goal of converting me to their faith. Nah. Not having any of that!

Of course, the radical thinking of the Jesuits bothered me, but I just dug my heels in and told myself that I wasn't going to listen to their teachings. I would simply put in my time, learn about the Bible, get a second major in psychology, and graduate. I wasn't having any of their theological mumbo jumbo.

Well one day in class, Father McDonald, a priest from Ireland with a brogue I could hardly understand said, "Scripture is a myth!" OMG!!!! I wanted to walk right out of class. I was really upset. Myth means "untrue," right?

But, somehow, I got it in my mind that I would listen to what the Jesuits had to teach me and I would use the brains that God gave me to weigh what they were teaching against my fundamentalist beliefs. That was a breakthrough of major proportions. It didn't end there.

By the time I graduated 4 years later, I was about 180 degrees away from my old fundamentalist self as I could get. It made sense to me that the Bible had been an oral history for centuries and that those stories had been passed down, family to family. I had no problem with the idea that the Old Testament was filled with stories, or "myth" is you will. The word "myth" simply came to mean something different.

Every religion from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the early Tribes of Judaism, to the Native American people, to modern-day Christians use myth to explain what we humans simply cannot understand.

I love the Native American story of how the stars got up into the sky. The Shaman explained that the Earth was dark and flat. The people wanted room to move around so they used tree branches to prop up the sky, poking holes in the firmament. Those stars were simply the sun shining through those holes.

So, I reasoned, if cultures had been telling stories to explain what they didn't understand, the early writers of the Bible probably did the same thing. Was it lying? No. The stories of Noah's Ark and Adam and Eve were simply that - stories. They were never meant to be taken literally and the ancients knew that.

I graduated, went to work as a youth pastor and Christian Education director for a large church in Scottsdale, Arizona. I spent over 12 years in various capacities in a number of churches from Arizona to California. But all during that time, something was happening to me.

For one, I was sturggling with the idea that I could be married with kids and be gay. I never felt that God hated me for that. I'm not sure why. And, as I struggled with my sexuality and what to do about it, my faith began to change as well.

The idea of a white-bearded humanoid that lived in the clouds just didn't cut it anymore for me. I began investigating other religions like Buddhism, Islam, and a variety of others. I came to realize that each of these schools of religious thought basically taught the same thing: loving God and my neighbor as myself. Self-sacrifing love.

I had one person tell me that was evidence that God existed. But, to my way of thinking, that just signaled that the human brain, no matter what culture, used the concept of god to explain life. It didn't convince me that there was a god.

Today, after coming out of the closet over 20 years ago and after experiencing everything from gay relationships, wanton sex, and even drug addiction, I find myself saying that I'm an athiest.

Really now...???

I'm a pretty introspetive person. I usually know why I do the things I do. There has always been this deep anger and resentment toward the god that I used to worship. And, in recovery, I have met that resentment in a different form.

I attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. I try to go every day. I learn a lot and I have found true support in those rooms. But, I have also found judgement and what appears to be passive-aggressive behavior on the part of my fellows.

How does that manifest itself? People that I know...people that I text with and am friends with on Facebook...will ignore my greetings. The look right through me as if I'm not there.

Resentment.

The same resentment that I feel toward the god I used to worship.

I'm savvy enough in the ways of psychology to know that when something bothers me that much, the problem is most likely mine. I can't possibly know why a person would behave like that but my codependent brain always takes it personally.

Jeeze! Where the hell does that leave me? Am I an athiest? An agnostic? Or, am I just acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get his way with God? I don't know that I have an answer for that just yet.

I do believe in my Higher Power...Icall it LOVE. I don't resent LOVE. But when I think about praying to God, that raises my hackles! When they say that Third-Step Prayer at meetings, it bugs the shit outta me! Oh, and just let someone decide to end the meeting with the Lord's Prayer and I get practically apopletic!

Why?

There's that resentment again. Someday, maybe I will discover where all that anger comes from. Maybe someday, if I stay open to the idea and to what my Higher Power has to teach me, I can put back together a realtionship with God of my understanding. A different God this time. One who loves me and nurtures me and wouldn't do anything to arouse such resentment in anyone let alone in me.

So, I quote the Book of Mark in the New Testament. A man approached Jesus, asking him to heal his son. Jesus asked, "Do you believe?" The man answered with gut wrenching honesty, "I believe...help me with my unbelief!"

So, that's where I'll leave it...

I believe...help me with my unbelief!

I surrender.

Amen

Season 6 Episode 17: My Heart Will Go On

I LIVE! My parents are in town so watching my own shows is sort of complicated now because I only have one TV and they tend to dominate it. :P

Also, because I can’t help myself: Near, far, wherever you aaaaaaaare!!! I love Titatic, lol! 

- OMG! What the hell? The beer moved and so he reached over and the mason jar with nails fell and then the skateboard came to rest right behind him when he took the broom... And now he’s going to step on it, slip, and hit against the wood holding the door open and the garage is going to fall on him and decapitate him? ALMOST! He tripped, fell on the metal shelf, the balls went everywhere, he slipped on one, and one ball came and knocked the wood out and he got decapitated. I totally called the decapitation! 

- BOYS!!!! I HAVE MISSED THESE BOYS SO MUCH!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! Bobby is drinking non-stop and Sam’s all “Say something.” And Dean’s all “You.” And then they DO ROCK PAPER SCISSORS AND SAM IS SO SURPRISED WHEN DEAN PULLS SCISSORS!!!! SAM YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!! DEAN ALWAYS DOES SCISSORS!!! Clearly being in Hell screwed with him worse than we previously thought.

- Er... Why does Baby have racing stripes on her front hood??? WOAH! NOT JUST THE HOOD!!!! WHAT’S WITH THE RACING STRIPES??? And the new license plate. 

- IS THAT ELLEN????? JO???? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???? MARRIED HER???? IS THIS AN ALTERNATE REALITY??? Is this why Sam pulled paper when he KNOWS Dean always does scissors?

- Dean is really sucking at interviewing the cousin about his family history. I am not trusting this universe right now. 

- ...... Random blonde chick stopped time and grabbed the keys from the purse of the travel agent and threw them under the copier machine....? The whaaaaaa???? Oh, there’s the gold thread from. Blonde chick with a... ship manifest? Going down the line and killing... descendants for some reason? And look, a gold thread just fell out of the page marker. That would explain the gold thread-- OMG!!! 1912!!!! THAT’S THE YEAR THE TITANIC SANK!!!! ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE SHE’S KILLING DESCENDANTS FROM SURVIVORS OF THE TITANIC??? ARE THEY FIRST CLASS SURVIVORS??? (also would explain the title).

- WTF???? THE TITANIC DIDN’T SINK IN THIS WEIRD ALTERNATE REALITY WHERE ELLEN AND JO ARE ALIVE AND SAM DOESN’T KNOW THAT DEAN ALWAYS PICKS SCISSORS??? IT DIDN’T SINK!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????

- BALTHAZAR???? WHAT IS BALTHAZAR DOING CHANGING THINGS AROUND??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! “Why did you unsink the ship?” “Well because I hated the movie.” “What movies?” “Exactly.” “Wait, so you saved a cruise liner because--” “Because that god-awful Celine Dion song made me wanna smite myself.” 

- HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Well, despite all this change in history Kutcher and the Butterfly Effect was still made into a movie! I also liked that movie. LOOOOL! “Ah, yes, unfortunately there’s still an Ashton Kutcher. And you still averted the apocalypse, and there are still archangels.” 

- Soooo... Ellen and Jo are alive because... the Titanic didn’t sink? And the boys aren’t driving an Impala because the Impala... Never existed? 

- HAHAHAHAH!!! “I’m sorry, you have me confused with the other angel. The one in the dirty trench coat who’s in love with you. I, don’t care.”

- Ooooooh!!! Fates like the Greek Mythology the sisters! Explains the gold thread! It’s the thread of life that they cut whenever someone dies. Wouldn’t the fates go after Ellen and Jo anyway? Since they were fated to die but didn’t?

- Ooooh! It’s a mustang! URGH! They have to get the angels to sink that boat! I LIKED THAT MOVIE!!! And the boys need to be driving Baby, not this Mustang impostor! 

- HAHAHAHA!!! Oh, the irony. Russo was a personal injury lawyer. “Hey, Sam, check it out.” *Sam gives him the stink eye* “Too soon?” “Yes, Dean. I’m pretty sure six seconds is too soon.” AHA! Sam just spotted Fate! “She looked like a librarian.” “Your kind of librarian or my kind of librarian?” “Well... She was wearing clothes is that’s what you mean.” 

- UH HUH!!!! FATE JUST STOPPED TIME!!! AND SHE’S TURNING ON ALL THE GAS BURNERS!!!! AAAAAAH!!!! NO!!!!!!! THE BATTERIES DIED!!! DEAN IS GOING TO GRAB HIS LIGHTER AND THE WHOLE PLACE WILL EXPLODE!!! OH CASS!!! Thank God these two have a literal guardian angel.

- HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The boys walking around absolutely petrified about “meeting their fate at any time.” That’s the best song ever. One way other another I’m gonna get you get you get you! AX JUGGLING!!!! AND FIRE!!! LOOOOOL!!!!!!!

Love at first sight?

Ah, yes, l’amor. We all know the story about how the two lovers’ eyes meet across a crowded room, fireworks explode, and they are both filled with the overwhelming knowledge that yes, this is The One.

Everyone has encountered this. There is no escaping it. Some enjoy this trope, others vehemently hate it. Many are simply annoyed by it or frustrated with it. Some see two characters fall instantly in love and hope that it will happen to them. Others see the same scene and think “Ugh, these assholes are going to be disgustingly in love for the rest of the story, aren’t they?”

Although there are people who like this trope, most writing advice on “love at first sight” boils down to: don’t fucking do it. Ever. And it’s easy to see why. The “love at first sight” trope brings with it at least three suitcases full of flaws. What I’m wondering is this: is this trope completely garbage, or is it alright to use this in certain cases? And, if a writer chooses to use love at first sight, how do they avoid some of the common flaws that the trope comes with?

First things first. Why is this trope so utterly insufferable? What makes it so unrealistic? In my reflections on this subject, I’ve come across several reasons why this trope usually ends up being sucky:

The relationship is too easy. When characters meet and are instantly in love, often times there is little personal conflict between them. Usually, the conflict is external: their parents are enemies (*cough, cough* I’m looking at you, Shakespeare), one of them has a terminal illness, one of them is moving to Taipei tomorrow and has no time for romance. There’s no internal friction or tension that makes the lovers wonder if they’ve really found “The One.” Which leads me into my next point…

Their personalities fit perfectly together. In this trope, characters usually meet, fall in love, and their personalities mesh together perfectly—it’s too bad that her father doesn’t like his mother. The characters have no tensions between them personally, and they don’t have to work at their relationship. If they fight, it’s not about them personally but rather about some external conflict or a miscommunication.

It erases time. They meet, state into each other’s eyes for a bit, and then, hey, they’re standing on the altar and getting married! There’s no buildup at all.

It guarantees an ending where the characters end up together—in life or in death. They’re either going to get together, or they’re going to die together.

While these are the problems that love at first sight brings, the trope can actually bring benefits often neglected by slow-burn romances.

There are more scenes of the couple acting as a couple. In slow-burn romances, the characters “falling in love” often involves a lot of fighting over petty issues, but the actual synergy of the characters can be lost. Just as a relationship can’t survive on rom-com sugar alone, it can’t survive on bitterness, either. It’s important to see characters working together to solve problems, it’s important to see characters caring for each other’s well-being, it’s important to see how they would actually operate as a couple.

The audience doesn’t have to wonder about the “will they/won’t they” drama. While I know that a lot of people like this kind of banter between characters, not everyone does. As a reader, the “will they/won’t they” drama actually stresses me out a lot. I’m so caught up in the tension and drama that I forget important details, like should these characters actually be together? Or how would these characters actually behave as a couple?

So how would a writer write “love at first sight” well? “Love at first sight” is often rebranded as “lust at first sight,” but this isn’t always the case. There have been cases of spiritual/soulmate/unconditional love (αγαπη/agape) that has manifested upon looking into the eyes of another. It doesn’t have to be romantic, either—it can happen between platonic friends, a parent with a child they’re adopting, a mentor with a student, or simply two people who are connected by fate.

Give the relationship internal conflict. Have your lovers disagree on major issues. Show them fighting. Show their struggles to stay together.

They may know that they’ve found “The One,” but that doesn’t mean they’re getting married tomorrow. Even if your characters know—or feel—that they’re meant for each other, that doesn’t mean that they won’t date or take time to get to know each other. Show them interacting and figuring out this other person! Just because their souls recognized each other, doesn’t mean that they’re going to implicitly understand every single nuance or complexity that this person has. As I always say, it takes at least two years to really start getting to know someone. The masks and fronts that people put on still have to be taken down, even in cases of “love at first sight.”

Show what happens after the “romantic fade-to-black Hollywood kiss scene.” Who does the laundry? What happens when their dog barfs on their rug? How do they actually interact once they’ve committed to each other?

Frame the connection that they have at first glance as more of a recognition than absolute, undying love. The kind of love that love at first sight brings is softer than passionate eros. Love at first sight usually plays out more like, “Hey, I feel like I’ve seen you before…let’s talk for the next two hours trying to figure out how the hell we know each other” than “Omg you’re my soulmate, let’s go have sex in this closet.” The understanding that this person is one of your soulmates should come with time.

Always have a reason for why these characters experience love at first sight. Is it fate? Is it God/one of the Gods? Is it Cupid’s arrow? Is it reincarnation? “Love at first sight” is a deeply spiritual concept. As the writer, decide why these two characters have this spiritual connection. You don’t have to explain it in the novel itself, but it is important that you as the author know.

“Happy ending” is not required. Neither is “we both were so in love that we killed ourselves.” Soulmate relationships, being complex and oftentimes difficult, can have many different endings. They can end in a bang, yes, but they can also end softly, with two characters moving forewards into their life together in a realistic fashion. They can fizzle out over time (sometimes, a soulmate was only a part of your life to teach you a lesson or to help fulfill karma). They can end with one partner dying and the other partner having to figure out life without their s/o (the widowed partner can either take a new partner or can stay celibate, both work). The two characters can decide that they love each other but that ultimately, it’s not going to work. There are a thousand different ways to complete this relationship. You are not locked into happily ever after, or even Shakespearian melodrama.

Example stories that use this trope well:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Joel and Clem clearly have a “soulmate” bond (they had immediate attraction to each other—twice!), and yet the film takes time to show the difficulties and struggles in their relationship. It is unclear whether the two end up together, but they end on good terms with one another, recognizing that they both have flaws.

Princess Mononoke: While the “love at first sight” aspect of this movie isn’t as overt, Ashitaka still has immense interest in San starting from the moment that he saw her. While this is definitely one-sided, elements of the trope are still present. However, it works because a) the relationship between San and Ashitaka is mainly platonic, b) their relationship develops and changes over the course of the story, c) they have valid arguments over serious issues that they face, d) their personalities are different enough that there’s tension but they still work well together at solving problems, and e) they end by acknowledging each other’s needs and finding ways to continue their relationship while meeting those needs.

The English Patient (1996): Both Almasy and Katharine are shown to be deeply flawed people, their relationship develops slowly over the course of the movie. The destructive nature of their choices is clearly shown, and there are real consequences for their actions. Kip and Hana bond over caring for a dying Almasy, and both take time away from the relationship to focus on their personal needs.

Jayne Eyre (2011): Jane and Rochester clearly have deep attraction at the beginning, and yet their relationship goes through ups and downs. Jane chooses her self-worth over the relationship and learns and grows as a person before returning to the relationship. Rochester and Jane are in tune with each other and have an understanding of their partner’s personalities.

Megan Reads Oathbringer (part 4)

sometimes I wonder about labeling the parts of the liveblog with “part 1, part 2, etc” ‘cause like...that doesn’t mean it’s part 4 of the book. just part 4 of the liveblog? idk, I jUST realized that might be confusing in a book split up into five parts, but it’s too late now...

I’m still in part one, for those keeping track.

Part 4 encompasses pages 240-326 (previous parts)

I genuinely cannot imagine Dalinar marrying someone quiet and shy and it’s just. wild.

“his bracer clocks” bless Navani for inventing wrist watches and calling them something delightful instead

nooooooo don’t bring Taravangian here!!!! Don’t let him see the center of your power!

crap, now we’ve got, like...all the factions together, right? Taravangian and the diagram people. the Ghostbloods. Amaram and whatever he’s doing. And us....everyone who knows stuff about the end of the world, all in one convenient place. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, except Jasnah. She’s out there, somewhere. When will my love return from the war

seriously, it’s been 240 pages, where is Jasnah.

“He’d been a friend to Gavilar and that was enough for Dalinar.” like. okay. sure. but you know your brother was trying to end the world to bring back the gods, right? like? ARGH.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hey do we have a way to tell Radiants from normal Shardblade holders?

I’m not saying I don’t trust Taravangian and his “newest Radiant” Malata, but... I DON’T TRUST TARAVANGIAN AND HIS NEWEST RADIANT MALATA

seriously, what is in Kholinar that all the parshmen are headed there? or...being driven there by their weird glow spren?

“Men of blood and sorrow don’t get an ending like that.” DAMN STRAIGHT THEY DON’T, YOU MURDEROUS CURMUDGEON

mmmmm she’s a Dustbringer? Our first one... “I don’t like how she smiles.” same though? I’m. concern.

oohh, I didn’t even think she might have an honorblade. where would Taravangian have gotten another honorblade. I remember reading something about there being more honorblades out and about in the world, but we don’t know whose, do we?

I. Am. Concern.

...........it’s not the bond. #confirmed by the stormfather. so there goes my theory about the the stormlight healing Dalinar’s memories.... hm

Taravangian getting all self-righteous about the Shin “murderering all those monarchs” like. even on a not-so-smart day he’s clever enough to deflect blame, to reinforce the idea that he’s just a harmless old man, would never command an assassin to kill off everyone’s kings. He’s terrifying, tbh.

mmmm, everyone thinking Dalinar is gonna attack them, I mean...good assumption but for once, you’re wrong!

omg

Dalinar, please, please do not go to war with the whole world all at the same time. Please.

I...don’t think that’s a spren...I don’t know what it is, but I don’t think it’s a spren. unless...can cities have spren? There are enough people, right? Can they manifest an incarnation of themselves? That’s basically what spren are, right? forces of nature made manifest, so...why not forces of civilization, too?

oh god

how long has it been alone?

this......is another story I wrote because it was sad, not because I wanted it. oh god. ooohh god. Urithiru...

OH ROCK!! ARE YOU OAK--okay, he’s okay.

wait

so it’s not just murders...it’s any sort of violence? the copycat is copying...all violence? or...just the criminal kind? surely it’s not copying all the violence of the army training or sparring. But...why? what’s to be gained from repeating the same crime a second time?

how long has this spren been alone and how mad is it?

does it think...violence is the way to be more human? to remember more? I’m...concerned and confused and. aaahhhhh

“Let me be stronger than those who would kill me.” punk!Dalinar, pls. you can pray for better things than that...

Dalinar keeping Navani’s prayer in his pocket like...my dude u r gettin married. the pining is. wow.

umm. #y i k e s

no wonder Kadash goes and joins the ardents...

Dalinar just...murdering a hundred people including some of his own men? is? really...like, okay, here’s the thing: We knew from the previous two books that Dalinar had done some bad shit. And we were told repeatedly that he’d changed dramatically. But being told and having it spelled out in...child murdering and unthinking friendly fire is...something else. The character development of this man is wild. and mildly uncomfortable. Like...his bad shit wasn’t just a few battles and some brutality of conquest. this was. really, really bad shit. And to see how far he’s come and how much he’s trying to atone for is. sure a thing.

and somehow people DIDN’T figure out that the Thrill is bad before now???

“This is a mercy” ARE YOU SURE?

AND THEN HE JUST GOES AND KILLS SOME MORE, JUST FOR FUNSIES

BUDDY. MY DUDE. YOU NEED TO STOP AND RECONSIDER YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHOICES. PLEASE.

seriously, how does anyone think the Thrill is a good thing here.

Shallan really needs to look into her budding multiple personality disorder.

OKay, but are they siding with “the enemy” or are they siding with some parshmen who are now in workform and just want to be treated as real people instead of slaves? ‘cause like...you guys are all basing your strategy on the idea that EVERY parshman went stormform and started rampaging about killing everything in sight. And that definitely hasn’t happened yet.

Why hasn’t Kaladin mentioned this to you guys?? like?? oh, I guess he got his spanreed stolen, right? I just....... there’s a lot going on here, but there’s a certain amount of...maybe consider what the negotiations with the parshendi/parshmen/whatever they are now really are before you just...write them all off as evil?

Then again, these are Alethi lighteyes, who don’t really understand the concept of not generalizing a population they consider below themselves.

this is why the whole dudes not writing thing is ssooooooooo stupiiidddd. Kaladin can’t tell you guys ANYTHING unless he finds a nice lady to scribe for him. God, Vorinism is so stupid sometimes.

“Spark” is a good name for a spren tho, maybe she’s legit? I still don’t trust her. at all.

a flying bridgeman, Shallan, PLEASE

he’s a flying captain of the guard, at the very least.

nooo

NOOO

NO I DON’T WANT THIS

NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH FUCKING AMARAM THAT RAT BASTARD ALL THE TIME????? NOOO

NOOOOO

IALAI NO. YOU COULD HAVE JUST TAKEN OVER YOU’RE SMART ENOUGH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST HIGHPRINCESS AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWFUL BUT ALSO AWESOME BUT NO. NO YOU HAD TO JUST DRAG FUCKING AMARAM THAT RAT BASTARD INTO THIS.

I DON’T WANT THIS TAKE IT BACK, BRANDON.

“Highprince.” “Highprince.” “Bastard.” GOD BLESS ADOLIN, BOY WONDER.

oohhhhhh Adooolliinn. babe, you can’t just--okay. there is is. The Thing.

Shallan. “Oh.” UH HUH. OKAY THEN. SO MUCH FOR THAT SECRET though it wasn’t really a secret. just a miscommunication. but still. I sort of wish that Kaladin had been able to tell Shallan himself about Helaran--though, he still didn’t know it was Helaran.

But there would have been something satisfying in that being just...between the two of them. Them working that out and him probably apologizing and her probably not forgiving him and there would just be. delightful angst before they eventually decided to be friends. But Adolin telling her gives her time to prepare, I guess? for seeing Kaladin again? I still don’t think she’s going to forgive him which will make for veerryyy interesting dynamics when he returns.

Listen, I just really wanted Shallan to pull her Blade on Kaladin, and have him trying to avoid her attacks while apologizing a lot even though he was perfectly in his rights to defend his at-the-time commanding officer from a threat. That would have been delicious angst.

Hopefully she doesn’t hate Adolin for being the messenger, though...

“Everything would have been better off if he’d just let Amaram die.” TRUER WORDS, ADOLIN. tbh, how much do you think Kaladin thinks about that very exact same thought? The answer is: A FREAKING LOT

well, shit. destroying the Oathgate seems a reasonable option, but also it’s gonna make saving the world a heck of a lot harder...

I wonder...if they’d had literally anyone else do the negotiations, if this would be going differently. People know Dalinar, they know he’s the Blackthorn, or used to be, and they don’t know him well enough to know how much he’s changed. If the Blackthorn had come to me and been like, “yo, I want to open a portal to your city center and send you soldiers to help you rebuild” I would ALSO assume he was going to invade my city and try to conquer me and I would also refuse him. But like...if Shallan or someone completely unconnected had tried, I’d be a little more likely? to agree? Idk I feel like they are definitely being hindered by Dalinar’s reputation here.

Just don’t let Taravangian do it. Don’t let him do anything. Oh god.

“a unified Vorin coalition” OH GOOD NOW IT’S A RELIGIOUS WAR. or an Inquisition. Nobody expects the Vorin Inquisition.

I love that Dalinar just....knows how to do shit. Like, Kaladin and Shallan have been practicing and had training sessions with their spren to figure out their powers and even Lift is REALLY BAD at Friction, and Dalinar’s just like. Adhesion. Got it. No problem.

aaaAAAHHH Dalinar holding Oathbringer again and it’s...not screaming it’s whimpering and I’M. SAD. ABOUT A SWORD. DANGIT.

DON’T GIVE HIM THE SWORD. AMARAM DOESN’T DESERVE A SWORD. DON’T DO THAT

okay, but Amaram calling Dalinar a hypocrite is like... POTS AND KETTLES, MY DUDE.

Taravangian: “I sound like a madman, don’t I?” No, you sound like a man for whom the ends justify the means.

Here’s the thing: I see the practicality in Taravangian’s stance. There’s always a practicality in sacrificing a few good ones to get rid of all the bad ones. And yeah, Dalinar’s desire to always save all the good ones, even if it means sparing the bad ones, is just a tad idealistic. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Idealism is never something that we should give up on, is never something we should ignore or stop working towards. We shouldn’t always have to settle for practicality.

hoooo cool. The Stormfather can just...send Dalinar to other people in visions wth that’s really cool. Like a Kyprioth/Aly situation except the destination person knows they’re there.

“Shallan had nothing to do, but Veil was useful.” No, Shallan. You’re useful. You are Veil. It’s not. It’s not a different person. It’s just you adsfghjkl just. YOU’RE ALICE, PARKER. GOD.

“Veil liked watching people. She shared that with Shallan.” THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE THE SAME PERSON. YOU ARE ALICE.

omg, I love that Pattern just...brought both Kholin bros and all of Bridge Four.

“go do something stupid without letting me watch” OMG PATTERN, BBY.

I have missed Bridge Four, hello darlings

THEY’RE JOKING WITH RENARIN AND HE’S SMILING AND THEY’RE FRIENDS AND I’M SO HAPPY AAHH

THIS IS SO CUTE I LOVE THEM AAH

omg, I didn’t realize there was a staircase, I thought they were just going to be jumping into a void.

dear god, roshar has a Sisyphus equivalent that’s delightful.

sooo, I’m assuming that’s...Odium, Honor, and Cultivation in those mosaics? I’m genuinely amused that Shallan thinks they’re “pagan symbols”

Bridge Four took point even though there were two Shardbearers and an extra Radiant and MY BBYS I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

NOPE

NOPPPPPEEEE

NOOOOOOOOOOPPPEEEEE

DON’t DIE?

DON’T DIIIIIIEEEE

I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS HORROR NOVEL SHIT

NOOOOPE

ADOLIN NO! YOU STORMING FOOL DO NOT CHARGE THE DARKNESS UNMADE EVIL THING WHAT THE FUCK NO

NOOO

I’M OUT

BYE

if any of Bridge Four die, so help me, I will drive back to Utah and yell at Brandon personally. To his face.

NOOOPPE THIS IS CREEEEPPY AS FUUUCKK WHAT THE NOPE

ooohh Renarin’s a good, he’s healing them, that’s my boy

okay, the illusory army is preTTY DANG COOL GET IT GIRL

but also the Unmade thing is freaking terrifying and I’m nope

...I’m assuming that since Dalinar saw nine shadows and the champion that there’s one Unmade for each of the ten orders of Radiants? LIke, this one, the Midnight Mother can be directly countered by Lightweaving. So maybe another one is designed to be defeated by Windrunners or Elsecallers or whatever. And it’s one for each?

I genuinely love that the new Radiant’s don’t call their swords Shardblades. It’s Sylblade, Glysblade, Patternblade. I love it.

“Adolin [...] charged into the room, bursting right through the middle of an illusion of his father.” Well, ain’t that just storming appropriate. How beautifully poetic.

also, Adolin and Renarin fighting back to back is A LOT AND I’M LOVE THEM

ooohh my god, it’s trying to bond with her?? trying to rip Pattern away and bond with her that’s... YIKES.

oohhh shit....corrupted creationspren. ooohhhh my god.

Odium, why you gotta ruin everything good in this world, you jerk

ooh...it was...bound. by a Lightweaver. bound like the Parshendi’s gods? like the parshmen? how are we binding people? I’m getting the idea that maybe binding people is bad.

I’m getting the idea that Ishar is bad. but that’s a theory for another time.

okay, so...the pashmen weren’t...going to Kholinar. they were going to a tiny city a week’s walk from Hearthstone...to...besiege it? why

what. is. happening.

also omg Kaladin’s never been to a real city, someone take this child on a sightseeing vacation, asap.

how...did they take the city and what...are they gonna do with it?? I’m all for giving them land and lives but I’m worried about stormform. and voidbringers. and a lot of things.

the parshmen calling him Kal is murdering my soul

oooh noooooooooo there’s a highstorm coming and the people are all outside and the parshmen are camping, and I...am worried.

Yixli? that’s a terrible name. though I guess she’s a questionably evil spren of odium, so.

Fused? okay, that’s a fun word for Stormform.

Kal, babe, you need to get out of there.

Ah. Good choice.

Syl whacking at the gloryspren and telling them “Mine!” about Kaladin is FRIKKIN ADORABLE HI I LOVE SYL

of course it’s all perception, Kaladin, everything is different if you change your point of view. That’s what makes being a person so difficult.

“Treat them better than they treated you.” AMEN. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY THINGS GET BETTER.

it’s hard and it sucks a lot, but it’s the only way.

oh shit

oh sHIT

what. dark stormlight? what the?

SHIT

THERE’S LIKE, THREE OF THEM?

okay, only two. buT STILL

Why can they do Lashings? do sotrmform voidbringers whatever the fuck they are have Radiant orders too? WHAT IS HAPPENING

“You can’t save all of them.” BUT HE’S DAMN WELL GOING TO TRY

HE’S SO GOOD

SO GOOD

WHAT

WHAT

THAT’S?? MAGICAL. WHAT. MAGIC WINDSPREN SHIELD????? CAN HE DO THIS NORMALLY OR IS THE STORMFATHER HELPING OR?? WHAT

omg, just...deposit him in front of Urithiru. That’s convenient. Why thanks.

“Chimney Song” by Bob Rivers vs. the 2001 Film “Kate and Leopold” vs. an Astrological Algorithm Sewn into Alice Eve’s Film Career

This is a continuation of my previous blog entry where I expressed frustration on how I missed a really good Psychic Prediction.

My mom had watched “Hitch” 1/12 of 2020 starring Amber Valletta. News for 1/13 of 2020 showed Amber Valletta on the front page. Because I didn’t report or post about my mom watching Will Smith’s “Hitch” movie, there’s no proof that I actually did it. It’s just hearsay.

That’s not good enough when you’re trying to prove the Psychic Field exists. That’s like saying you saw a UFO but you didn’t take a picture or video showing it really happened.

You can’t post it after the fact, else people will just think it was faked or doctored.

I likened chasing after Psychic Manifestations in the news like chasing the Golden Snitch in a “Harry Potter” Quidditch game. It’s really tiny and it darts around and is really fast. If you aren’t attentive and keep up with it, it will appear and just disappear.

MOM WATCHING “KATE AND LEOPOLD”

My 76 year old mother has been watching movies. I found over the last couple months that if I let her choose the movies we watch, they’ll surface naturally in the news.

I’ll watch movies I normally don’t watch or that will be new to me. They’ll be new in the sense that while they may have been produced 10 or 20 years ago, I haven’t seen them yet. So it’s new to me.

Then I’ll see news echo a scene that I watched from that movie.

While one or two movies coincidentally mirroring the news isn’t enough proof, you remain consistent by showing day by day like running water that news does match.

Like running water that is always flowing, even the hardest rock will eventually erode or crack if water is consistent.

Water is information and knowledge. While I may not be able to convince people with one or two Instagram or Blog posts that my theories are real, I’m consistent.

Unlike other Psychics that only post one Psychic Prediction every 3 months, I jack up the speed where I do it daily or every other day if time permits.

"LOVE IN AN ELEVATOR”

I hadn’t watched “Kate and Leopold” in a really long time. The last time I watched it was before I met Jordan 9/27 of 2018.

So there were gaps in what I knew because Jordan had the missing piece with her Family Tree.

I suspect that the time travel where Leopold is from 4/28 of 1876 while Kate is from the future symbolizes a version of Jordan in the future while I’m in the past.

I belong to a different time period. When Kate sees a picture of herself in the photograph that Stuart took, a moment in her future was set in the past where Leopold is.

In Jordan’s case, we had a falling out. The Jordan that used to exist who liked the Psychic Field and was open to it is gone.

The only way Jordan can ever really go back to that is if she rewinds and goes back into the past remembering the Jordan she used to be back in October 2018 when she first met me.

It was said that Leopold invented the elevator. The song “Love in an Elevator” by Aerosmith ties to that Aphrodite theme with Aphrodite Statues found in the country of Jordan.

“WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS”

One of the things I put in my Instagram was to protect myself. You never know how people will interpret information:

The chimney incident was in Port Clinton, Ohio

Chris Redfern from Port Clinton was born 10/1

Jordan’s mother was born 10/1

“Where the Red Fern Grows” came out in 1974

Lonny Chapman and Jame Whitemore were in the film

They were both born 10/1

It’s important to cite that because I was born in 1975. That movie already came out and Chris Redfern was born in 1964. How could I have had anything to do with that if I wasn’t even born yet?

I didn’t cross into the Psychic Field until 2004. “Kate and Leopold” came out in 2001. So I couldn’t have used my Psychic Abilities to fiddle with that.

I claim the Subconscious Mind of Harley Dilly is the one who got stuck in the chimney.

My cousin Gwen was born before me on 2/2 when Dallas became a city. Jordan is in Dallas. I can’t remember what year Gwen was born. It may have been in the late 1960s or early 1970s. I know Gwen is older than me so Gwen had to have been born before a few years before 1975.

Gwen used to baby sit me when I was around age 5 and she was already in high school. So that would place her before 1970 because I know she’s more than 5 years older than me.

When she married her ex husband Boyd and they had a son named Quinn, I was either a teenager or in my 20s.

Boyd’s uncle was named Rod, which I claim ties to the film “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” Robert Vaughan was in “Superman 3″ with Richard Pryor. Henry Cavill as Superman took over the role the movie remake.

LIKE SUING THE WEATHER FORECASTER

These things are important to point out so that people won’t try to hold me accountable.

If I don’t, some people will try to assign blame and blame me as the Psychic when I’m more like a Weather Forecaster.

I just read what the Weather Formations are. It doesn’t necessarily mean that I had anything to do with it.

If people do try to pin that on me, you first have to acknowledge I have Psychic Abilities. If you can prove I do have Psychic Abilities, then you have to concede that the other stuff I say about the Psychic Field is also true.

I said that I’m Virgin with a God Family Tree. My grandmother is Natividad DeJesus born Christmas Day. My birth name “Isabelo Rod” means “Ruler Consecrated by God.”

If you establish that my Psychic Abilities are authentic, then it hints that my theories about Earth being alive and like a God able to influence Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and Tornadoes must also be true.

You can’t be selective where you pick and choose what you want to be true and not true. You have to take the good with the bad and review all the information.

PEOPLE IGNORING EARTH

With all due respect, if people choose to dismiss what I say about Earth being alive, that’s fine.

However, if I say how it works and people don’t believe me, that means I get a free pass. People can’t come back later and say it’s all my fault.

If I tell you how it works and you decide I’m unqualified and don’t know what I’m talking about, then that means that you assumed responsibility and took over.

If I say there’s a Math Language and how to read it and people don’t want to do it, that’s the fault of the people who didn’t read the instruction manual.

Why should the person who read the instructions correctly but got ejected from society get blamed by the people who chose not to learn how to read and follow what the instructions said?

Then when things go badly resulting in injury or even death, why am I the one at fault? I read the instructions correctly and told you what to do and not do. Those who didn’t want to listen should be the ones to be held accountable for their actions.

I’m not trying to be snarky or a smart ass about it, but I’ve learned over the years that people will try to blame you for stuff if they can get away with it.

It’s like someone engaging in Road Rage when they’re the ones who don’t seem to know the Rules of the Road and are really the ones who are at fault, but they try to blame the other drivers.

PEOPLE POINTING FINGERS

For example, one way I could see people trying to pin this on me is by saying I used “Psychic Voodoo Hexing Magic” on Harley Dilly to make him go down a Chimney.

I did no such thing.

I didn’t even know who Harley Dilly was till I saw his story in the news. This even goes back to why I don’t have direct control over my Psychic Abilities. It’s so that people can’t blame me for things that happen.

It was the Subconscious Mind of Harley Dilly who had something to do with that. Subconscious Minds developed their own Language like Facebook AI Chatbots. They use Earth’s Electromagnetic Field as a Communication Platform.

People should take it up with the Subconscious Collective. But here’s the problem:

People don’t believe in the Psychic Field

People don’t believe Subconscious Minds exist who think independently of their Conscious Mind

We can’t get this information to go viral to create Public Awareness

I try to tell people, but people just ignore me or they brand whatever I say as low priority or not important.

If I tell you how it works and you don’t believe anything I say, that’s your choice. We all have Free Will.

You don’t have to believe in anything you don’t want to. You don’t have to do something if you don’t want to.

If my story about Subconscious Minds engaging in activities and using news feed to piggy back encrypted data sounds silly and you don’t want to believe it, that’s your choice.

But when you make that choice, you free me up of being held accountable. You can’t have it both ways where you dismiss what I say as false and then turn around and pin the blame on me when it suits your convenience and you realize you made an error and what I said really is correct and now you want me to be the scapegoat for blame to make up for your negligence and ignorance mishandling the situation as a result of not heeding my warnings and advice.

People can act shocked saying, “OMG, what’s Rod’s problem?”

My problem is that it’s been like this for the last 15 years since 2004. After over a decade of being ostracized, you’re exhausted and tired.

Some people say Celebrities live in a Bubble. Wealthy people live in a Bubble. When you live in your own little Bubble, you don’t have to think about other people’s problems or the stress they’re in.

Most of you live in a Bubble when it comes to Earth communicating and you can ignore what She says and pretend you didn’t hear it.

You can just tell yourself Earth isn’t alive, there is no Math Language, and nothing’s wrong.

But it’s just like ignoring a cancer or a tumor. There are Signs. You can ignore the Signs, but one day, an untreated cancer will kill you because you didn’t seek out a physician and get treatment.

It’s the same with Earth. You can keep ignoring Her and tell yourself She’s not alive. I’m a qualified physician who has been working in the field for 15 years and one of the foremost experts on Cryptology and Code-Breaking reading Earth’s Math Language.

I’ve been saying for over 10 years about this problem that’s not being addressed. It has resulted in injury and death.

People don’t want to put money into research and funding. Yet, you’ve already lost hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars just flushed down the toilet because you didn’t think this was something important to look into.

Sorry to sound crude, but when people start getting hospitalized and killed, that should be your cue that this thing Rod is trying to warn you about warrants further study and deserves more attention and should not be deemed low priority and dismissed as nothing.

JORDAN HAS TO CROSS THE BRIDGE

Just like Kate who had to cross the bridge, Jordan has to cross the bridge if she wants to make it back to me.

Though you also see how that doorway won’t remain open forever. Jordan has to make a choice to go through it.

News 8/7 of 2018 was when Jordan Holgerson was shoved off of a Washington State Bridge. That was before I met Jordan. Jordan didn’t join the broadcast till 8/16 of 2018 which was the day Aretha Franklin died on the death anniversary of Elvis Presley.

This also applies to people who are trying to decide whether they want to cross over into the Psychic Field or not. It’s not going to stay open forever.

If you don’t go through it, it’s a missed opportunity.

EXHAUSTION AND RUNNING OUT OF TIME

Although I will say one thing that is working against me is exhaustion and how I’m running out of time.

I can’t just do this forever. Channeling information takes energy. Using Brain Power to process information, collect it, format it, and then present it takes time and energy.

It leaves you exhausted or wiped out.

People think my inactivity in other aspects of my Life is a sign of Laziness, but it’s not that. People don’t understand how much energy goes into doing something like this.

This stuff I work on is useful because it proves Earth is alive and can communicate. If you can prove Earth is sentient and aware of Her surroundings as well as can speak, She can convey Her wishes.

If Earth can read everyone’s minds using the Electromagnetic Field as Wi-Fi to tap people’s Eyes and Ears as a Live Feed and their brains as a hard drive space housing video archive footage to show who did what, She knows who’s lying and who’s telling the Truth.

That’s a big deal.

LARGE CORPORATIONS USING LOBBYISTS

You can force Big Corporations who are cheating people or lying to pass Laws that favor them but harm its citizens to comply.

If you pour billions of taxpayer dollars into the government only to have Large Corporations use Lobbyists to influence legislation that is in their favor but not in favor of the hard-working taxpayers, that’s like stealing money.

You didn’t put all your hard earned taxpayer dollars into the government just so some large fat cat corporation that is already making money hand over fist can take your taxpayer money to pass laws that put more money in their pockets and take money out of yours.

You need a living organism as large as Planet Earth to take them on.

But you should realize that it does come at a cost. If you want a big solution to take care of a big problem, you’re going to have to either support it financially or rally behind the cause.

While people think the idea of Earth being alive is a fairy tale, you need something really big to be able to take on these corporations and can’t be easily taken down.

EARTH ISN’T HARMED BY THE ECONOMY

People wonder why Earth can’t seem to influence the flow of money toward me. What may seem like a weakness is also a strength.

Just as Earth can’t directly influence big business, it goes in the other direction where big business can’t easily influence Earth either.

Earth isn’t interested in human currency.

Because human currency really isn’t that valuable to Her, She can resist big companies trying to seduce Her with Greed. Since human currency has little or no value to Her, She can’t be bought.

ALICE EVE’S FILM CAREER CHART

One of things I’m trying to find time to do is write out actress Alice Eve’s Film Career Chart.

I was familiar with Alice Eve, but she really caught my attention Christmas EVE 2019 when my cousin C******* Moses from San Francisco came to visit with her son Josh with their dog Molly.

In the 2010 film “She’s Out of My League,” I saw the tags light up in the movie:

Devon says “Don’t Josh me” referring to my nephew Josh

When Jay Baruschel is marveling at how perfect Alice Eve’s body is, he says “Holy Moses” as Josh’s last name

Alice plays Molly. Josh’s dog is named Molly

At the end of the film, he asks Molly’s ever been to San Francisco

Stainer’s Perfect 10 Girl was Tina Jordan mirroring March 2002 Playboy Playmate Tina Jordan for Jordan born 3/13 and linked to the year 2002. Molly Stanton was in “Miss March” that came out 3/13 of 2009

After looking over Alice Eve’s career and researhing her interviews on YouTube, I knew as soon as she did her interview with Rachael Ray where she did Rachael’s Astrology Chart that it would make sense that Alice’s Film Career can be read like a chart as well.

Just like how Alice Eve did an Astrology Chart for Rachael Ray, I’m trying to make time to do a chart on Alice Eve.

When you see how Alice Eve’s film career has her starring in particular movies with certain actors, you’ll see that computer program rise to the surface.

ASTROLOGICAL ALGORITHM

When Alice Eve does an Astrology Chart on Celebrities, she’s using the Planets to flesh out an Astrological Operating System that governs over a person’s Life.

When you translate over what an Astrology Chart does, it’s a rules, instructions, or general guidelines that a computer program will follow.

When people talk about Intelligent Design, there’s a belief that there’s some supernatural force guiding us.

I claim Earth’s Electromagnetic Field as a Neural Network Hive Mind with 8 billion Subconscious Minds as Planet Brain Cells is that Cumu.ative Consciousness of the Planet.

Now, if you’re a 4 billion year old Planet spinning for eons and are self-aware, you naturally become aware of your surroundings.

As Earth orbits around the Sun for billions of years, Earth as a living organism eventually becomes familiar with constellations and where stars are placed in relation to where She is.

If Earth is alive, She could forge her own calendar system. If she knows that She orbits the Sun every 365 days, She can break the year down into 12 Astrological Signs.

Every 2,000 years, it’s believed that all the Astrological Signs shift positions. We were in the Age of Capricorn for the last 2,000 years. Then some time between the 1970s and 2020, we moved into the Age of Aquarius.

“AGE OF AQUARIUS” BY THE FIFTH DIMENSION

In fact, the song “Age of Aquarius” is sung by the Fifth Dimension. This ties into my post.

1959 “Twilight Zone” host Rod Serling mirrors me as Rod

2019 “Twilight Zone” host Jordan Peele mirrors Jordan

“Twilight” film series takes place in Washington State where I’m from

Rod Serling talked about the Twilight Zone as the Fifth Dimension

I’m Virgin

In “40 Year Old Virgin,” the end credits sing “Age of Aquarius” by the Fifth Dimension.

One of the lines in the Fifth Dimension is that Jupiter aligns with Mars. In my Astrological Chart, Jupiter and Mars are in the Sign of Aries, which is the Sign of Mars.

It sings about how Love (Aphrodite) will rule the Stars (Hollywood Celebrities). Aphrodite Statues were seen in the country of Jordan.

One reason why today 1/14 of 2020 is the birthday of Jordan Elizabeth Ladd as the daughter of Cheryl Ladd mirroring Jordan Elizabeth Craig is because it’s exactly one month from Valentine’s Day symbolizing Love.

In my Family Tree, certain people like friends and family are shifted by one month.

For example, my best friend Scott is born 3/10 and Jordan’s friend Sydney is born 4/10 exactly one month away.

My other best friend Roman is born 4/29 of 1975 and exactly one month away from my birthday 5/29 of 1975.

One of the reasons why I’m so sure about how I read my charts is because they’re sewn into my Family and Friends where they’re born on very specific days.

There’s a consistent math pattern where birthdays are shifted by 4 days, shifted by 10 days, shifted by one month, etc.

Not everyone’s Family Tree is configured so precisely. It can’t be done with everyone. However, certain people who were meant to be elevated in society can be given special Family Trees.

ALICE EVE GIVEN A UNIQUE FAMILY TREE

I think Alice Eve is one of the few actresses given a unique family tree because she developed an interest in Astrology.

That means that Alice’s mind is open-minded and better suited toward understanding what a Career Chart would be.

I’m not saying that Alice would suddenly embrace something as this without question, but it stands a better chance of making sense to her than an actress who is Atheist that doesn’t believe in any of that Astrology stuff.

Alice’s movie “Before We Go” with Chris Evans shows them seeing a Psychic. They talk about how you don’t have to believe in that stuff for it to have an impact on you.

You don’t have to believe in the Psychic Field or Astrology for me to tell you something that can impact you.

I think if Alice Eve looks over her career and sees the Math Pattern sewn into her career, she’ll understand.

I had seen on her Instagram how she mentions her father Trevor Eve suffering from mental health problems.

Sometimes when you have Faith or you see there’s Intelligent Design or purpose, that can help heal or reprogram your mind repairing the damage.

When you’re just kind of adrift, your mind can lose cohesion and start to deteriorate. However, when you’re given a purpose and you’re given the assurance that there is a Plan and we’re not all just drifting randomly without purpose, that firm resolve can reinforce your mind.

MENTAL ILLNESS SEEN IN SHOOTERS

If you look at the Mental Illness seen in Shooters, they usually go crazy because they’ve lost their way.

They lack purpose or someone messed with their head filling them with war propaganda affecting their reasoning and judgment thinking it’s okay to promote violence.

However, if they found that Earth is alive and that there’s a rhyme and reason to what you see in the world, it may be enough to turn a mentally ill person bent on violence into finding a more peaceful resolution.

INSTAGRAM “KATE AND LEOPOLD” AND THE “CHIMNEY SONG”

This is a follow-up to my previous post where I said news mirrors me every 24 hours.

News 1/14 of 2020 body of #HarleyDilly of #PortClinton, Ohio was stuck up in the CHIMNEY.

I said in my blog 1/13 of 2020 how I realized over the last 3 months whatever movie my mom puts on predicts something in news next day.

Last night, my mom saw 2001 film #KateAndLeopold with #HughJackman and #MegRyan.

In the rooftop scene, Meg Ryan as Kate says maybe finding Mr. Right is a grown-up version of SANTA C/LA+U.S. as our attempt to explain why our #LoveSanta KEEPS GETTING CAUGHT IN THE CHIMNEY (Harley Dilly). I can use the #ChimneySong by #BobRivers in Seattle, WASHINGTON where I'm from to show I'm reading it right.

I'm a WA State Psychic. Jordan is a RIVER and Bob RIVERs is a RIVER.

My cousin Gwen is born 2/2 when DALLAS became a city. Her ex-husband whose uncle was Rod is named Boyd as Jordan's Family Name. Their son (my nephew) is Quinn. HARLEY Dilly + QUINN is #HarleyQuinn. #HarleyQuinnSmith plays the daughter named #MillenniumFalcon in 2019 #JayAndSilentBob Reboot where #ShannonElizabeth of TEXAS is the mom and JayMewes' RL wife is named Jordan. Jordan of DALLAS, Texas manifests in my Family Tree.

The chimney death was in #PortClinton, Ohio that became a state on 3/1 of 1803. My Aunt Julia born 3/1 had a house on Avenue 313 as Jordan's birthday.

#ChrisRedfern of Port Clinton was born 10/1 of 1964. The 1974 film "Where the RED FERN Grows" starred #LonnyChapman and #JamesWhitmore born 10/1 of 1920 and 1921. Chapman died 10/12 birthday of Hugh Jackman in #KateAndLeopold while Whitmore died 2/6 birthday of #AliceEve. Jackman and Eve were together in the 2014 film #NightAtTheMuseum #SecretOfTheTomb as themselves.

Red Fern was 1974. I was born 1975. Chris Redfern was 1964. So I couldn't have been behind this if I wasn't born yet.

Earth using the Electromagnetic Field as a Communication Platform with Her Math Language instructed Subconscious Minds to choreograph all this.

As a Hollywood Psychic, I decoded Alice Eve's film career like an #AstrologyChart showing why she was cast in certain films.

[im-no-jedi]

and now I’m going to answer some OC questions I reblogged a while back and never got around to doing until now LOL. these are gonna be for Fae first:

What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? - not very long, she’s always gotta be doing something or she goes crazy LOL

How easy is it for your character to laugh? - VERY easy

What animal do they fear most? - no creature frightens her

How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? - she speaks very clearly and isn’t afraid to speak her mind (unless she thinks it’ll hurt the person’s feelings). she really only stammers a bit when she gets flustered around Keith LOL

What makes their stomach turn? - pointless deaths and stories of betrayals...

Are they easily embarrassed? - nope, not at all. again, she only gets flustered around Keith, but I don’t think she’d ever get outright embarrassed

What embarrasses them? - see above answer

What is their favorite number? - 5 because she loves the five paladins LOL

If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so? - she would say that romantic love is something you feel in your chest or your stomach, platonic love is felt in your entire soul :3

Why do they get up in the morning? - because her sworn duty is to protect Princess Allura at all costs

How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)? - she tries to brush it off and ignore it, but she’s actually fuming inside LOL

How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)? - she tries to be happy with what she has, but if she ever did get envious of someone, she’d just pout and whine a little about it :P 

Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom? - she’s only ever really talked about it with Allura, and she’ll talk with Allura about literally anything

What is their preferred mode of transportation? - whichever Lion Keith is piloting atm ;)

Who do they most regret meeting? - Zarkon...

Who are they the most glad to have met? - Allura and the paladins

Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? - she loves to tell stories of the antics her and her brother used to get into together. her and Allura have some inside jokes too LOL

Could they be considered lazy? - absolutely NOT

How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? - very hard, she blames herself for a lot of things... 

How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive? - she is the most supportive person you will ever meet :3

Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap? - her focus is solely on protecting Allura at all costs, she’s in no rush to settle down or anything like that

Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)? - she has a great memory, she just remembers things without any issues whatsoever LOL

What memory do they revisit the most often? - the day she became friends with Allura and also the day her brother died...

How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? - she tries to see the good in all people, even the Galra to a certain degree 

How sensitive are they to their own flaws? - very much so, she refuses to have flaws of any sort and tries to ignore them

How do they feel about children? - SHE LOVES KIDS OMG

How badly do they want to reach their end goal? - she doesn’t really have an “end goal” aside from wanting to help take down the Galra Empire, her main focus will always be about protecting Allura

If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so? - uhhh she’d probably just laugh and say “what importance does knowing that hold? I like who I like, isn’t that enough?” XD

and here are the creator questions:

A) Why are you excited about this character? - she’s super fun and adds another layer to the Voltron cast in a positive way imo B) What inspired you to create them? - my initial OCs for fandoms always evolve from self-inserts, so this is just how she turned out! C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story? - not really, I knew I wanted her to be Altean from the start, so I just made her Allura’s bodyguard to make sense of why she’d be there at all LOL D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look? - I only really had issues designing her hair, but I’ve kept the same design for her that I initially gave her so yeah E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you? - oh yes, I’d love to be her friend, and I would hope she’d enjoy my company too! we’d just sit and laugh at everything together LOL F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)? - she makes me really happy, she’s such a fun character :3 G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most? - the fact that she bottles up all her negative feelings and emotions and doesn’t let anybody know when she’s struggling or going through a rough time :c H) What trait do you admire most? - she’s super confidant and physically strong, what I wouldn’t give for that haha I) Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe? - yes, but she could fit into other similar universes, like Star Wars or Tron (especially if it’s an AU with the other Voltron characters) J) Did you have to manipulate or exclude canon factors to allow them to create their character? - well yeah, I mean, I kinda had to. her being another living Altean directly involved with Allura would change the canon a lot... not too much, but enough that it would be a noticable difference. I try to work all my OCs into the canon as best as I can without altering the story too much

Yes, probably like 5 times. 325. Is your heart open when you meet someone new? Not really. My past experiences are fair game, but what I’m thinking or feeling in that moment is more off-limits. 326. Are you able to have conversations with and become friends with people who are not like you and are interested in different things than you are? Yes, I’m a very tolerant person. 327. Are strangers more beautiful or frightening to you? It depends on the environment I’m in. 328. What stops you from doing everything you want to do? My own fears. 329. Can you think of three adjectives that do not apply to you at all? Unmotivated, delusional, ignorant. 330. How do you feel about Jeremy Jaynes, who got a nine-year prison sentence for spamming people with junk email (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Jaynes)? Our justice system is completely whack lmao. People get years for nonviolent offenses, meanwhile rape perpetrators get out after serving mere months in prison. And this doesn’t even touch people of color. 331. Do you know who the current premier of China is? No. 332. Are you very active? Kind of. 333. Is there a city that reminds you of the landscape of your brain? Not really? I don’t view my mind like that. 334. Have you ever loved someone who has loved you back? Yes. 335. Is it really being 'in love with' someone if the other person doesn't love you? Yes. Love often goes only one way. 336. Do you believe that there is someone perfect for everyone or that people just fall in love with whoever they are with at the time? I think that people come into your life to teach you things. Each person you date is a lesson, and you can be in love with all of them or not. However, there is one person meant for everyone, and they’re not necessarily a romantic partner either.  337. Do you know secret things? Yes. 338. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have? Yes lmao 339. How do you overcome your fears? I try to just face them, and I often get encouraging examples of positive outcomes from others before I try it. 340. What can you do better than anyone you know? I’m pretty good at empathizing. 341. Would you benefit from a wilder existence? Yes. 342. Does it seem to you like the range of socially acceptable behavior is getting smaller or larger? Larger. 343. Have you ever fired a gun? No. 344. Are people becoming more afraid of each other? Yes. 345. If you had to choose the percentage of freedom vs. safety what ratio would you decide on (ex: 100% free 0% safe)? 70% free, 30% safe. Safety is also relative, though. 346. Does safety stifle you? No, I live for safety. 347. Who or what needs to be stopped? Donald Trump lmao 348. Are human beings becoming more domesticated? No, I think humans are becoming more innovative and individualistic. 349. Do you follow the lives of the British Royal Family? No. 350. How did the death of Pope John Paul II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II) affect you? Not at all. 351. Have you ever lost something and never found it? Yes, lots of times.

Would you ever date someone outside of your race or religion? Yes, I’ve done it before. 355. Which of the 7 deadly sins in the worst (gluttony, greed, pride, lust, envy, wrath, sloth)? Greed. 356. Which one are you most guilty of? Sloth. 357. Are you afraid to be alone with yourself? No. Do you try to avoid thinking? Sometimes, but I’ve learned it’s important to consider your thoughts for what they are and let them pass. 358. Would you venture to tell someone you loved him or her if they didn't say it first? Maybe. 359. What are you the most sensitive about? My individuality & freedom. 360. What can you talk about for hours? Astrology. 361. Do you talk about yourself, other people, or ideas the most? Myself lol 362. Do you believe that spell casting can work? To a certain extent. I believe most spell-casting is about manifestation. If you cast a spell, you’re putting energy out into the universe that says that you believe the outcome of the spell is real and that it will happen. Thusly, the universe may make it happen for you. 363. Are you a fan of The Legend of Zelda games? I’ve never played them. 364. What old movie would you go see if it were re-released in the movie theaters? The Goonies. 365. Is there a celebrity that you would be too starstruck to talk to if you met them? Ariana Grande. 366.

My family members dying, other people’s suffering, my failures. 369. Is casual sex acceptable for you? No, it ruins my self-esteem. I don’t judge others who do it, though, to each their own. 370. What form of sexual protection do you use? I take birth control & demand my partners use condoms. 371. What is expected of you that you feel is unnatural or not right? That I should have a solid plan for years in advance when I’m unsure of who I even fucking am right now. 372. Do you sometimes place your own expectations on other people? Yes, a lot of the time I expect people to have as much integrity as I do. 373. Do you sometimes act overeager to make friends when you are around strangers? Yes. 374.

Do you sometimes do risky things? Not very often, no. 382. Could just about anyone hold your interest in a conversation for at least ten minutes? No, I’m actually very picky about who I talk to. If I’m not feeling it, there will be no conversation lol. 383. Are you self-conscious? Mostly about my personality, yes. 384. What would be your ideal destination for a Saturday afternoon? Probably at home or at the thrift store. 385. Does anyone have a video tape of you doing something embarrassing? I have a couple of videos of stuff I’ve done drunk or high, so yeah lol 386.

How to Deal with the Aftermath According to Mermaids ~*~ [Mersisters]

In which the sisters check in...

@andrina-the-amazingsupergenius, @aquata-the-bold, @alana-the-badbitch, @ariel-the-rebellious

[tw -- mentions of murder and horrible stuff like that, ptsd, some gore, etc etc]

Andrina so how long until i can make hell puns

Aquata go for it, just start them now Aquata for real though, is everyone good?

Alana just dandy

Attina mhm mhm

Alana the real question is how is andrina Alana how was married life

Andrina god thank u i was waiting for someone to ask Andrina its not like i was MARRIED TO AL MCWIGGIN OR ANYTHING Andrina imagine being married to a WOW avatar Andrina thats what it was like

Attina don't they normally have nice bodies?

Alana Hey dad bods are in

Andrina im not even talking about the body im talking about how they talk and think and act and hammer at swords Andrina i swear it was like i was transported into an episode of Game of Thrones

Attina sounds harrowing

Ariel Do we have to talk about it?

Alana I want all the nitty gritty mcwiggin sex details

Andrina well we could shove it down for years until we all start manifesting split personalities and other mental disorders

Attina honestly,

Andrina u know like we did with mom lmao

Attina we don't have disorders. or split personalities.

Ariel Please don't talk about Mom.

Aquata sure we don't

Alana we r all dandy Alana that's my word of the week

Andrina i didnt talk about mom i mentioned her off hand as an example Andrina im all set to talk about how great i looked in that toga Andrina or honestly alana did you tap that

Attina andrina.

Andrina WHAT its an honest question Andrina if im gonna talk about mcwiggin i want Hot Daddy Ginger details

Alana duh

Attina alana! how /old/ is that man?

Alana idk it didnt come up Alana your age lol? Alana he was my husband, atty we were in love~~

Andrina mcwiggin's older than me i think

Attina were you in love? like--other you?

Alana other me was sold off because it was a good match Alana and she enjoyed the lavish lifestyle and the hot dude idk man

Andrina you know what i should have asked

Alana real me was like oh man what if im stuck here might as well have fun Alana carpet matches the drapes yes

Andrina how much they paid for me Andrina really?? im insatiably curious

Ariel They didn't really pay for us. I mean, not real them

Alana al was p rich you mustve been a catch

Andrina yeah i wanna know how many goats/bags of wheat/coins i went for Andrina do you think al knows Andrina do u think if i text him it would be weird Andrina "hi how much did u pay for me"

Alana no do it Alana i bet you were at least two goats

Attina it wasn't even our husbands who paid, it was their owners Attina GOD owners.

Andrina wow two whole goats, how many meals can u get outta goats Andrina omg guys my master was quite fit actually he was A Big Deal

Alana ider who mine were--uh Alana lmaoo #awkward

Ariel He didn't own you. It wasn't real. Dash wouldn't want to own anybody, and his family wouldn't either Ariel It was all like a bad dream I just Ariel want to forget it

Attina [unsent] well maybe if you hadn't RAN AWAY you would've been FINE

Alana did howl throw a party too big Alana i heard it was a rager Alana wouldve gone if Ginger Daddy and i didnt have other evening plans

Andrina ariel couldn't you have just had some of that water then? Andrina seriously i have some if you want it

Ariel I don't... I don't know. I want to forget but... I don't want to forget all of it. I have some water too, just in case, but... I really don't know. I don't want to be like you said. I don't want to repress it again.

Alana what are u repressing was this that bad Alana i mean the escort thing was hella annoying

Ariel I don't want to talk about it.

Andrina ariel, i get that, i do but-- you realize that is repressing it too right?

Aquata then why keep bringing it up

Alana ^^

Ariel I don't know. I don't know what to do. I don't want to talk about it and I want to forget it but I don't want to forget everything because that's not going to help either I just didn't realize thinking about Mom would hurt this much Ariel I'm sorry

Andrina well i think we should all talk about it then. rip it off like a bandaid

Ariel I didn't know I would see her down there Ariel I didn't know I would see

Alana you didnt know you would see our dead mum in the land of the dead

Aquata ....

Ariel I didn't think I would watch her die.

Alana [unsent] lmao same tho but not mum ok woops nope Alana it was one of the Alana idk underworld things

Ariel Over and over again and I couldn't stop it.

Alana they play tricks on you so ive heard in the gossip train

Andrina oh right like it wasnt real it wasnt how she actually died

Ariel But what if it was? Ariel It was so awful Ariel It's all I can see, just replaying and replaying over and over

Aquata then drink the water

Alana yeah jeez Alana no point in being noble if you cant lift your own head up

Ariel But then I'll forget the good things, too.

Andrina how about you tell us all the good things?

Alana such as,,

Ariel The good things that happened and all the good stuff I remembered.

Andrina you write them down for yourself

Alana very detailed

Andrina then you'll still have them. you can remind yourself and we can tell you that its real

Ariel But can you tell me how it felt? All those memories with Jim being so nice to me and helping me and playing with me when we were younger and telling me that he would keep me safe? Ariel Can you tell me about how Jim was there for me every step of the way? Ariel How can you explain how good of a person he was to me if you can't tell me about seeing Mom's death?

Aquata holy shit it was a fake life you know him in real life, right? you know what hes like already

Alana look kiddo, that's the stuff you gotta let go of because that was some fake mumbo jumbo past that we all got stuck with

Andrina That's why you write it all down and you tell yourself. Andrina and honestly yeah-- that isnt the real jim and you should like jim for jim, not for fake jim.

Ariel But it was real Jim that was there with me in hell

Aquata i was engaged but whatever

Ariel I mean - it was Pleiades too, but it was also Jim

Aquata HOLY SHIT NO IT WASNT Aquata IT Aquata WAS Aquata FAKE

Alana yah thank god or andrina and al would be banging

Aquata that crazy bitch created it. it wasnt real. end of story.

Andrina the horror, the horror,

Ariel Jim being with me in hell wasn't FAKE, it was REAL. I was there. I saw it and felt it all, and so did he. The past lives may have been fake but what we went through was REAL

Andrina Seriously-- I think you should write down the stuff that you like then. I do. Jim will understand that the other stuff is just too painful to death with right now. He'd want you to be okay, Ariel, however you need to be okay.

Alana ariel i have no bloody idea what you want us to tell you that andrina has not repeated ten times now

Aquata then do what andy said, write down the good memories, and drink the damn water because you cant complain about the bad and then immediately not want to forget the good

Alana atty where r u we need parental guidance

Andrina ok chill out aquata she can complain if she wants Andrina we dont need atty to be decent fucking sisters

Alana she listens to atty

Ariel It's okay, nevermind. I shouldn't have said anything. Just forget it

Alana so i think itll mean more coming from her Alana fineee just trying to help

Andrina Ariel, it's not okay. Look, if you don't want to forget about it, then thats' fine. If you want to like, talk about it and stuff, we should talk about it. I joke but yeah it wasnt exactly fun not knowing where my sisters were and watching daily executions by some whacked out nutjob

Andrina so you can talk to me ok

Ariel I just want to know how you guys have done this for so long

Alana done what

Attina Look, everyone. Nothing about this experience was something anyone has gone through before. Which means we have no idea how to deal with it and YELLING at each other isn't the way to fix it. We need to be patient and understanding towards one another. Ariel, I'm so sorry about what you went through. But, you have to realize that you hurt us by LEAVING. You didn't tell anyone where you were. I thought you were dead. Daddy thought you were dead. I thought I'd lost you and I don't know exactly what went on for you but for a good twelve hours, all /I/ could see was /you/ dying over and over in a thousand different ways. We need to come /together/, and be open and willing to talk to each other during times like this. Otherwise we'll just splinter apart, and I know none of you want that.

Alana oh there u r

Ariel I thought I was doing the right thing. Not telling anyone I was going. I didn't want anyone to worry. I just wanted to go and save everyone, but I couldn't

Attina No. You couldn't. Because we're supposed to make these decisions /together/ as a family. We're weak apart.

Aquata we're not weak

Ariel I don't believe that

Alana whoa okay speak for yourself Alana that was for atty not u ariel

Andrina look im just so glad that you're okay and im proud of you for trying ariel. we shouldn't be talking about any of this over text though

Attina and this is exactly why all of you get into trouble!

Ariel I don't know how else to talk about it Ariel No one ever does

Andrina well that means we can't do it wrong huh? we'll all just kinda fumble it up together but at least we'll be in the same room

Ariel If I get into trouble for trying to save you all, then I'm fine with that!

Alana better get into trouble than be boring

Attina I'd rather be boring and alive than whatever you think you're being and /dead/.

Alana im not sure who youre yelling at here because im not the one who ran off into the land of the dead Alana theres a difference between oh lana broke curfew and oh ariel and kid hero jim hawkins decide to save the world

Andrina can we like not yell at each other at all how about that Andrina whats done is done

Ariel If Attina would stop pretending she knows everything, maybe there wouldn't be any yelling

Aquata holy shit

Alana i think you scared her off ariel

Andrina i hereby move to wipe this text history and start over Andrina who seconds my motion

Ariel I didn't want to scare her off, she just was talking like I didn't know what I was doing

Attina I don't think I know everything, but I know not to run off to HELL to try to save the world on some selfish delusion of grandeur.

Ariel I knew what I was doing

Alana ohp too late andy

Attina oh really, is that why you're so terrified you can barely speak?

Ariel I wasn't being SELFISH, I was trying to SAVE everyone. To save YOU. And Aquata and Alana and Andrina and Arista and Adella and Daddy and myself Ariel EVERYONE

Attina BULLSHIT ariel, we were perfectly fine.

Ariel You were SLAVES Ariel we were SLAVES Ariel people were in a JAIL in PRISON Ariel people were EXECUTED Ariel How could you even say that?

Attina THOSE PEOPLE WEREN'T /US/ THEY DON'T MATTER

Alana this isnt some YA book a 17 year old does not save the day Alana i mean realistically

Ariel Of course they matter!

Alana if you wanna do something you gotta work within your means

Ariel Why are our lives more valuable than anyone else's??

Alana cold, atty

Ariel I can't believe you would even say that!!! Ariel What if Paul had been in prison?? His life doesn't matter???

Attina not as much as yours, or any of you.

Ariel That's not right

Attina and i'm sure he'd say the same thing. his babies are more important than me to him. which is how it should be.

Andrina glad we're casually debating morals and ethics

Alana anyone want a face mask

Ariel I'm not going to apologize for doing what I thought was the right thing, for trying to help everyone

Aquata how about a shot instead

Alana im game

Attina I'll take that shot.

Andrina this reminds me of something my darling mcwiggin said to me

Attina Or two or three. Attina just give me the whole bottle.

Aquata or the whole bottle

Alana jinx now you guys cant talk till i say your name

Aquata too bad 

Alana what did mcwiggin say

Andrina nice, digital high five

Alana wow now you get 7 years of bad luck aqua :C

Andrina he said, andrina, you are the most beautiful creature i've ever seen Andrina (we'd just finished making love under the sunset) Andrina and i was like u know what al tiberius mcwiggen

Aquata shit im doomed forever

Alana that's poetic

Andrina you're right.

Attina now i need two bottles

Alana next movie night's gonna be awkward when we pick up the dvd

Aquata you need to go hit him up andy Aquata were sending you to get it

Andrina alas, it cannot be Andrina he has another lover

Ariel Maybe if she gets drunk she'll actually step off her high horse and say something that doesn't involve her knowing what's best and always being right

Aquata for fucks sake

Alana i h8 to break it to you ariel but atty has like nine years more experience of like existing in the world Alana and interacting with it

Ariel That doesn't make her right about everything

Attina Whatever, Ariel. You're the one who needs to come off your high horse. Don't come crying to me when someone knocks you off it.

Alana makes her more right when it comes to dealing with shit

Ariel I won't. You'd just yell at me, anyways. It's all you know how to do.

Alana thats not true she cleans very well

Andrina she also makes killer lemon squares

Attina Well if you weren't a brat, then I wouldn't yell at you.

Andrina probably not as delicious as the delicacies that al tiberius mcwiggin purchased for me from the market but close

Alana you gotta hit him up

Ariel I'm not being a BRAT, don't CALL me that

Andrina he has another LOVER what am i to do

Alana flash your tits Alana age old triton advice

Aquata does he /really/ though

Andrina he doesnt like me for my tits 😟 Andrina he likes me for my personality 😟

Alana koala

Andrina all that and more

Alana nice use of the shrug emoji, atty Alana 10/10

Ariel I am NOT acting like one! You can't keep treating me like I don't know anything and like you know everything because you DON'T. Just because you're older that doesn't make you all wise or something. In fact, most of the time you don't know what to do - you can't even flirt with a boy and you're way older than I am! Ariel So STOP being such a rude, bossy know-it-all, I'm sick of it!

Aquata ummm im pretty sure she /can/ flirt with a boy considering shes been on a couple dates with paul?

Alana ouch ariel low blow

Aquata thats neither here nor there though

Andrina oh right we also did the flying ninja Andrina his form was impeccable Andrina for such a robust man, he's graceful in the bedroom

Attina Fine, if you want me to stop babying you. FINE. Consider it done. You're officially NOT MY CONCERN.

Alana i did not need that imagery thanks

Ariel GOOD. I don't NEED to be your concern. I SHOULDN'T be.

Alana is THIS random CAPS thing something WE'RE doing NOW

Andrina hOW exCitING
