#no smoke without fire

[preternatural-men-lover]

Ah, the feminine urge to emotionally ruin yourself by neglecting your own dreams and goals in order to try and build up a fascinating, damaged, self-destructive man.

There is no smoke without fire.

Not true. Sometimes it is just dry ice.

Or a fog machine.

Not an Aro-culture-is thing but I do have a question you might be able to answer? Is there an aromantic/asexual term for this: AroAce but if I wasn’t I would be gay? It might just be homoplatonic or homoaesthetic but idk if there was a term for it that relates to being AroAce. Thanks! <3

possibly you might vibe with oriented aroace labels, like gay aroace? i'll put this out there for other folks to consider as well, but I feel like oriented terminology sounds the most applicable from my POV.

one thing that always makes me ???? about the pilot is john's motel room.

he left his photo of him and the boys, he left his journal which the cops got, he left his freaking jacket. literally did not take the clothes jacket off his back. which is.... ????

if the demons (i.e., azazel and co) were literally on his ass to the extent that he had to drop everything, like everything, and run, wouldn't he have maybe given a heads up to sam and dean that Danger Was Imminent? or was he so entirely confident that they wouldn't be targeted and that only he himself was in danger, so he actually did drop everything and run but felt fine not even leaving a voicemail?

(if he thought that, uhhhh, just looking at jess, over here, and not saying anything).

like i get the narrative reason and function, but with all that in mind, the in-universe explanation that i land on is pretty much that john deliberately made it look like he had to drop everything and run. that he was in imminent, immediately, life-threatening danger, and this charade was mostly for dean. the logic of which is just... wild.

#john is a bit unhinged #thoughts and comments welcome #like did he think he was in that much danger? #but if so maybe let the boy(s) know? #and i know he was trying to keep them out of it but how is disappearing without a trace #going to *not* make dean go to the exact motel room you were last seen at? #which could make him inadvertently cross paths with the exact demons on your trail? #which loops me back around to john believing that the demons wouldn't hurt dean #and i guess maybe that john being so deep underground that even dean can't reach him #makes him think dean wouldn't be taken hostage by demons to smoke him out of hiding #which is a freaking gamble my dude #tbh i think dean going to get sam was a huge wildcard for john #just this completely unexpected swerve that threw off his plan and put dean (and sam) in the line of fire #sam was in the line of fire anyway though #john was probably just lying to himself thinking he could stop the YED before sam got hurt #anyway #my meta #phyn rambles #phyn rambles in the tags #pilot

kissing everyone 💚 i haven’t felt. great. lately… mostly down to the behaviour of others and the way they interact with me which is something i can’t control and that stresses me out because yknow i’m mentally ill lmao. and a lil bit of social isolation was good, but i appreciate everyone sending little character asks because it made it a bit easier to get back to talking to people ;-;

i’ll get back to the others and the headcanon posts tomorrow!! 💚

#i am going through it #work is shit and social is shit #there are just unavoidable entities and it’s hard to imagine the things they do aren’t targeted like even my therapist was like #‘no smoke without fire bitch’ #making me like look like and feel like I’m overreacting to shit #catch me finding examples of people changing their opinions to make me look like a loner weirdo #cos I’m not being paranoid #WHICH IS THE MOST PARANOID THING TO SAY LMAO #so yeah needed a break #need to stop engaging with the negative #need to stop giving more than i get #need to be more assertive at life and work and relationships #finnie shouts into the void

OMG I I wgehejej I was writing a post about some soulmate AU and and while writing it just occurred to me-

Both Jean and Marco lost their gear during Trost. They both got in a situation where a Titan was going to kill them while having nothing to protect themselves.

Marco was there to help Jean get hold of a gear and survive. Jean wasn't there for Marco aka why he died.

Omg. I'm not crying you are

#I know is obvious but for some reason it hit harder this time #I actually can't remember whatever or not Annie helped too. I know she and Connie were there cuz yk Marco asked them where's Jean #But yk with the assumption that Annie helped... Like damn man. Annie helped Marco save Jean and she helped Reiner kill Marco #THE PARALELLS MAN #i love parallels #The fact they are both good leaders but in their own unique ways <3 #I think... I think there's no way for them both to stay alive. One of them must die for the other to research his full potential #Yes it goes both ways Marco's wake up call can only be Jean's death sorry no sorry #Anyway something lowkey happier : in a universe were Jean dies in Trost not Marco during the fire when Marco sees Jean in the fire he sees #the moment Jean mocked him over his reason for joining MP. And yk maybe that makes Marco want to prove Jean wrong so he joins SC. Or maybe #He thinks he can no longer join MP not without Jean. Maybe he sees Jean in the smoke and feels guilty for not being there to help him #Ok but Eren probably has such a hard time trying to decide who to keep alive between the two man (everything would've worked out with #either of them) he truly wanted Marco to survive Trost but damn who would've looked over Mikasa yk. It truly hurt him #Gosh is 4 am I am TIRED don't mind me #aot #Aot JeanMarco #aot jean #aot marco #jeanmarco #jean kirstein #jean kirschstein #marco bodt #marco bott

ok but i actually have sm to say about qi rong's relationship with anger. i could honestly just link a fic i wrote about it here bc i think i worded it better there than i ever can again but my ao3 links to my main twt and i prefer to keep rp stuff separate from my personal stuff for reasons sooooo lemme try to write it differently

cw for mentions of domestic violence bc holy shit like 99% of his character traces back to that in some way

the key thing is, of course, that anger is a trauma response for qi rong. he has every reason to be fucking pissed at like, all times, but fundamentally, his anger is not rational. rage and violence are all he knows! his earliest childhood memories are of being abused and seeing his mother be abused! even when he got out of that, he and his mother were bullied and ostracized, and his mother was eventually murdered. violence and cruelty shape his early childhood and in turn shape who he is today (enabled in large part by the queen's reluctance to properly discipline him when he began exhibiting cruel behavior himself).

in many cases, it's about revenge--getting "even", though he usually takes it much farther than the original offense. his father was abusive? he'll delight in warring against people from the same town as him. the yong'an rebellion tore away the one good thing he had in his life--his royal status? he'll crush their entire royal & noble classes in a single night. xie lian fell off the pedestal he held him on, "failed" and "abandoned" him? unforgivable.

very often, it's simply lashing out. the world has been cruel to him, so he'll be cruel too.

mostly, though, his anger just keeps him going. if he doesn't have his anger, then what does he have? sadness, loneliness, despair, heartbreak, misery.

being a ghost adds another angle to it, too--he can't let go of his anger, even if he wants to. well, he could, but then he'd disappear, and he doesn't want that. not yet. it's his source of life. it's also his source of power! and it's easy to forget with how often the rest of the cast and the narrative itself dunks on him, but he has a lot of power. #4 in the entire ghost realm! a near-supreme, one successful furnace trip away from becoming a full-fledged ghost king!

just--imagine, for a moment, being him. an abused kid--powerless--who suddenly learns that he's actually a prince--powerful!--and then, before even reaching adulthood, his kingdom crumbles, and he eventually dies just as powerless as he started. and then all that resentment causes him to come back even more powerful than before. it's no wonder he leans into it.

idk this is getting long-winded but i guess what i'm trying to say is--his anger is both justified and overblown, it is both understandable and irrational, it is something he needs to hold onto no matter how much it hurts him. he is his anger.

#i've spent several years analyzing this man #and it always just comes back to 'he is deeply traumatized and was let down on every level by the people who were supposed to support him' #mxtx treats him like a punching bag for jokes 90% of the time but he is at his core a very tragic character imo #in the fic i mentioned at the start of this post #i compare anger to fire #he's burning himself up. and he knows he is. but he doesn't know any other way to live #it hurts but it's familiar and that's all that matters. change is scarier. #but then. crucially. i compare guzi to rain #and he hates the rain at first because he's scared of it putting out the fire #but eventually he decides. it might not actually be so bad to finally let the fire die #and the rain will be better off without his smoke poisoning it anyways #aughhhhh sorry this is my blorbo my scrunkly my milk cat webkinz #he makes me feel so many emotions!!! #child abuse mention tw #qi rong; isms

No one on "GLOW" was even remotely kidding around when it came to Ruth and Debbie, huh?

Alison Brie calling them the "central will they, won't they" of the series.

Calling their season 3 relationship an "affair."

"Any heightened romantic moments between them are my dream!"

"[The new romance for Ruth] made me very uncomfortable, and I think I was just very protective of the Ruth and Debbie relationship."

"In season 1, the love story was Ruth and Debbie."

Liz Flahive and Carly consider Ruth/Debbie the "will they, won't they" of their series. Also, like Alison Brie they called Ruth and Debbie's relationship the "affair of season 3."

Betty Gilpin saying that Ruth is the love of Debbie's life.

Ruth should find it in her heart to accept Debbie's proposal.

BG: The moment that Debbie sees Ruth get on that plane, she's like, "Oh, the most magnificent thing I did with my life is loving her. And I didn't know that until it was over."

Also BG:

"Couple's therapy."

“I think that Ruth and Debbie's friendship ran deeper than Debbie’s marriage did.”

(x)

Victor Quinaz (the coproducer/actor who portrayed Russell Barroso and wrote an episode):

#debbie x ruth #ruth x debbie #glow #betty gilpin #alison brie #victor quinaz #and this is only scratching the surface of their interviews #and then you have so many professional critics/reviewers calling them the 'romance of the series' like yes validation #I do think sometimes fans read too much into scenes/interactions etc. bc of wishful thinking but this is a 'no smoke without fire' case #the romantic undertones WERE there and the creators WERE aware of them #(no I'm not implying they did this maliciously)

was just overtaken by a desire to see a queer staged performance of much ado featuring masc Beatrice and femme Benedict bi4bi mayhem

#imagined her smoking in a suit as she tells ‘a lovely lady’ about how Benedict sucks at the party #then taking the cigarette and placing it in his awe struck mouth with a parting ‘farewell my lady’ as she leaves #he’s sitting in full glamour drag wig ballgown jewellery makeup and all #he drops it out of his mouth when he begins to lovingly complain about her behaviour and nearly sets his own skirts on fire #they’d be so hot!!!!!!!! and bi4bi #after her ‘can’t have a man with a beard can’t have a man without one’ I’d want hero to lean in with a ‘and what about a woman fair cousin?’ #in return Beatrice seems to start ‘the perfect woman would look and act like’ speech before being cut off #she’s explicitly and unknowingly describing how Benedict looks and acts when he’s all dolled up #Benedict’s bisexual contribution is dialling up the implicit flirting between him and all his mates. also everything about him #much ado #much ado about nothing

Hey, I was wondering if you have any advice for people who can't be around smoke due to medical conditions. Most witchcraft I've seem needs fire or smoke in some way and I can't do that at all. Thanks :)

My medical problems do not relate to smoke but I'll give it my best shot dear!

Doing Witchcraft Without Fire/Smoke

You might not like my answer but as a lot of my advice goes, you've gotta return to the basics. Research and substitutions are gonna be your best friends.

Let me give some examples.

A lot of information on cleansing suggests smoke cleansing. It makes sense. It's a popular method that can be used on a lot of different things. However, did you know you can use a spritz mixture to cleanse a space, and water, salt or the earth to cleanse an object? You can even cleanse with sound!

Burning something is also often used to symbolize destruction. (It can be used for other things arguably but that's besides the point.) But there are plenty of ingredients with that correspondence. You could make a very potent mixture and put your taglock inside of it to get the same job done.

Often in spells candles will be used for their color correspondence and ability to burn down. You can use other tools or ingredients for their color though, and get the same power and symbolism of the candle elsewhere. A lot of candle spells will have you burn them everyday for several days, a week, etc, for example. I've set a petition, a tarot card, dried herbs, and some other things out and focused everyday for a long time to yield a similar result. Depending on the point of the candle you can find a way around it.

What I'm trying to say is with enough research and understanding of what you wanna do in your practice, what the common method is, and why it is chosen, you can substitute a different method that is accessible to you and will yield a similar enough result. You might even find something that works better for what you were trying to do. Maybe cleansing or candles wasn't what you had in mind, whatever it is you need though, you can probably find a similar solution.

Yeah it's not gonna be as easy. It will take extra time. It will very a lot. And that is unfortunate, but I think you can get there! It can be good to understand why fire or smoke or any method may be chosen anyways, and if you ever wanna do something but don't see any way around the fire/smoke dilemma, my ask box and messages will probably be open!

I hope this helps 💕
