#this is SO real#wbn#there's a strange determination to sort everyone into either witches OR wizards and not just. townsfolk. people.#and to a degree that is where the story has led us (ame has been leaning much heavier on the spirit side of her communication role)#but the mortal world is just as complex and deserving of attention and sympathy as the spirits#and it's almost bizarre to treat everything suvi says as empire fodder rather than legitimate frustration and confusion at a world that#has been closed off to her#'you get what you get' has been taken so far out of the context in which she said it for example#yes I believe she has the incorrect viewpoint imo but there is so much nuance in how suvi doesn't want people to be hurt and wants to-#be able to control that. and how the spirits represent an absolute lack of control with the ability to do whatever they want#(for the most part)#and her fear and even occasional disdain of that is from a further place than empire propaganda#it's from her desire to have control and knowledge of her surroundings. to be able to Know everything#and the spirits laugh in the face of that very idea#and it's not entirely invalid of her to be frightened of that!!!#it's the wizard the witch AND the wild one!!#suvi would not be there if her viewpoint was not valuable if very very flawed#her end goal should not be to become ame because like she said. she's a wizard and she Knows magic!#there is virtue is her strategy and determination and logic#but people seem to favor ignoring that to smooth over the nuance and hope for her to realize her wrongs soon#sorry this was a giant ramble lol

@thespoonisvictory (not putting this on the post bc it's already a long one) Yes to all of this! Like, I think first and foremost people are ignoring that she is a 20 year old whose parents died for the citadel when she was a very young child and that this has been her only home since then and if she did a sudden about face "oh I was wrong about everything" it would be just as fragile and biased as her current worldview; while epiphanies and turning points are real, true and lasting change is ultimately a process and I don't trust an ideology that is adopted as a rapid about-face rather than an ongoing exploration.

The firesides make it clear that she and Ame are in fact very similar people; both will often ultimately do what they want despite personal danger or dangers to others in the party, both genuinely do care a lot about common people but both are at times deeply ignorant of the privileged positions they have held from a very young age (even though Suvi will throw her weight around, the realization that Galani would not have been given the same second chances has absolutely rocked her); and both are extremely out of their element in this story! I think it's also worth keeping in mind that we're in the "so wizards have really fucked up badly here" arc. There's plenty of time to explore the idea that, for example, one corrupt witch could do some pretty significant damage. The main thing that divides Suvi and Ame is what they were taught, and yeah, Suvi is frightened and unsettled by the world of spirits that Ame has been taught to respect and understand and that she never has. I think it's also really worth keeping in mind that Suvi knows that Eursulon's life here is in part because she broke rules she had no possible way of knowing, and I can't imagine she - a person who is all about knowledge and rules - has truly found a way to live with that yet.

For what it's worth I find it fascinating that the meta about Suvi is by and large fairly harsh criticism, and the meta about Imogen is "how dare you speak ill of my 28 year old baby daughter", and also that meta about the imperial wizards in WBN is largely "fuck them bitches, they trapped a god and everything they do is wrong and bad" but there's plenty of meta about the imperial wizard in Critical Role that goes "well he sucks as an individual but his plan is pretty cool actually" because I see a lot of parallels and I know there's overlap in fandoms. It does genuinely feel like people just see the word "god" or "empire" and react without actually listening to the other thousands of words surrounding it.

#for reasons of honor i cannot publicly provide my other thought here re: imogen and suvi but check back on sept 9 #or dm me #anyway. i love suvi very much and a lot of the meta about her is like. i don't care if you criticize her #she is a lot of negative things she is impatient and arrogant and unwittingly uncaring and yeah she supports an imperial force #but so much of it is just suvi empire so suvi bad be like ame. like it's not even good anti-imperialism bc it's so shallow #wbn spoilers

People think I prefer not interacting with the good omens fandom on tumblr. Which is like, partly true? Because I do want to interact, but it gets really awkward for me when I see the Big Name Blogs all the time, since they're the ones I blocked for being

1) shamelessly aphobic

2) having terribly negative opinions about characters

3) straight up misogynistic RPF shippers

4) or a mix of the three

Finding Life - chapter 51 - Honeymoon

 Elliott hummed, then focused, opening his heart…

“...My love…I...” He took a centering breath, then looked at him, tried to see him and tried to open himself to him completely. “As you know. I was a very lonely person. And for reasons that had nothing to do with me being a dramatic fool, I genuinely thought that. The things that happened to me, had broken me. Although I had tried to keep myself from thinking it and tried to remember that it was a cliché sentiment… there was a time when I really and truly felt like it. When I first realized, I was quite desolate. And I didn’t do much about it. I was...fairly numb. As more years went by, it became part of my identity. I accepted that I was fundamentally broken on a deep level. That I would likely be incapable to ever be whole. To truly heal. I wasn’t just convinced I was broken. I knew it. I looked for ways to harness the pain after a while, leaned into it, tried to use it to build myself up with it somehow. Use my pain as a shield against others. Embraced my weirder tendencies and tried to accept that… no one would ever love me. I don’t think I ever truly thought that I was...” his voice wavered saying it, even now “… unworthy to be loved. I never truly believed what my parents and people around me later had told me. All the terrible things they said. But. I. Felt that it was foolish to truly expect it to ever happen. That it would be dangerous to trust and honestly stupid to allow someone such terrible power over me ever again. And when we met, I…

 ...I was scared. And I wasn’t. I was much less scared than I thought I should be. When I realized I was falling for you, I was mad at myself for doing so. But I was also, so… so grateful. So happy. To be able to feel it. Each day that I saw you was a pain of, what I felt then, treacherous hope. In many ways agonizing because it made me feel even more how lonely I was. How much I wanted to be loved. And when I finally confessed to you… I was scared how to really do      anything    . How to show you affection, how you would react to me. If I would become a slave to you and beg for the tiniest bits of affection and lose myself completely in a pathetic haze. I was scared if you would abuse me of my foolishness or be unkind or… any of those terrible things that you never deserved to have thought about you. And I was also scared… if I had warred myself off too much from my own heart to allow access to it. That you would try and try and  I would  just be incapable to trust you.”  He looked at his love evenly. Who was looking at him and listening to him so patient, despite how long he waxed on. Who understood. Truly and really...understood...

snow analysis

Imagine starting a book with a character who has been through the worst of times. He has survived war, hunger, and poverty, and all he wants is to provide for his family. Sounds like someone we know, right? That's right, he's like Katniss, but with a twist. This guy is power-hungry, and he cares about reputation and status more than anything else. At first, you sympathize with him, but as you read on, you realize that he's not as innocent as he seems. He looks down on the districts and blames them for his misfortunes, and all he wants is to rise to the top. As you follow his journey in the book, you start to see how he becomes the villain we all know. But the question remains: can he be redeemed? Dive into the Hunger Games universe and find out.

Amid the intense Games, something unexpected happens. Coryo and a few of his classmates begin to question the morality of the Games and sympathize with the oppressed districts. At first glance, it seems like Coryo might have a change of heart and join the rebellion against the Games. However, as we all know, things are not always what they seem.

The story of a forbidden love that transcends the boundaries of social status and defies the rules is always intriguing. And that's precisely what makes the story of Lucy Grey and her lover so captivating. He's a peacekeeper, tasked with enforcing the Capitol's rule on the districts. But he never fully lets himself sympathize with his duty. Instead, he finds himself drawn to Lucy Grey, a girl from the district whom he loves deeply. He's willing to break the rules, to do whatever it takes to keep her alive, to prove his love. However, he's torn between his desire for love and his ambition. He dreams of being with Lucy Grey in the Capitol, where he doesn't have to give up anything for her. He never planned on falling for a girl from the district and definitely didn't intend to give up his ambitions for her. But fate has other plans. When he's sent to District 12 as a peacekeeper, he decides to make the most of it and breaks the rules to be with her. Deep down, he knows that he wants to run away with her, but his ambition sometimes gets in the way. The story of Lucy Grey and her lover is a tale of love, ambition, and the struggle to do the right thing. It's a story that will leave you pondering about the choices we make for love and the sacrifices we're willing to make for it.

Imagine living a simple life, free from the chaos and stress of the modern world. In a captivating novel, the protagonist faces a tough decision between following his heart and pursuing his ambitions. He chooses love only when he feels like there's no other way out, and when he believes there's no future without it. But when he sees another option that promises power and prestige, he's torn between his heart and his ambitions. In a sudden twist, he starts to view the girl he loves in a negative light, even going as far as contemplating harming her. Will he come to his senses and choose love, or will he let his ambitions cloud his judgment and make a terrible mistake?

Imagine being haunted by the memories of betraying the one person you truly loved. That's exactly what happened to this man who, at the time, was convinced that the girl he loved was bad and untrustworthy. But now, years later, the haunting melody of the rebels' hanging tree song reminds him of what he did and the pain that he caused. The memory of his betrayal consumes him, and he's determined to never let love lead him astray again. He's decided that power is more important than love, and so, he vows to marry someone he doesn't love. It's a tragic story of a man who lost everything he held dear, and now, all he has left is the weight of his regret.

also include the dynamic with Sejanus is the most interesting aspect of the book Sejanus was always causing problems for Coryo, which leads Coryo to almost get killed in the arena despite no matter what he develops a sense of caring for Sejanus I believe truly he believes what he say near the end that "sejanus wasn't bad but confused" he sees Sejanus a good person but misguide snow disagrees with sejanus "ideals" his empathy with the rebels. Coryo's attitude towards his friend reminds me of Judas as Jesus Christ Superstar. He cares about his friend and wants to stop him from causing problems for his own good...at first. It shifts from wanting to protect Sejanus to mostly wanting to protect himself. He is conflicted about betraying Sejanus and tries to convince himself it was for Sejanus' own good but it was really for himself, he needed Sejanus out of his life to protect his own skin One of the factors that transform Coryo into the villain

we see in the original trilogy is Dr Gaul's influence. Although he dislikes and fears her, he comes to see her as someone who will help him get ahead in life if he says what she wants him to. So he develops the ideals she wants from him. On some level he already believed that control was needed to prevent chaos, but she helps him articulate and solidify these beliefs.

In the end, I think Snow still considers himself a good person. He sees himself as having sacrificed love and friendship for what he believes is the greater good. He eventually restores the Capitol to its former glory and convinces himself that oppressing the districts and forcing them into the Hunger Games is what is best for them. He rules with an iron fist because he fears chaos and must retain control.

I was really impressed with how the character transformed from a mostly good person to a power-hungry villain. The way the story showed all the little steps that led him down that path felt so realistic and believable. He wasn't just a one-dimensional, always-evil bad guy like some villains - he had the potential to be a hero, but ultimately chose the wrong path. It reminded me of Cora from Once Upon A Time, who had a similar backstory of struggle and hardship. Even though she wasn't a good person, you could understand why she made the choices she did. It's fascinating to see how characters can be both sympathetic and yet so flawed at the same time.

re the top surgery parties thing I think it’s cute I used to kind of be against them before I made more transgender friends / early transition (hadn’t started t yet) but it’s nice to support each other idk

no i do agree w u on that, its v cute and im not necessarily knocking it as something fun. though as an aside i do think its funny that u say early 'in ur transition' as i came out publically in 2017 (and online in 2014) and ive been on t since early 2019 but thats another point all together.

what i mean more is the social status u need to be able to do one of these events at all leaves a bad taste in my mouth. its a popularity contest essentially and in a community where the 'least popular' are dying and brutalised far more than the 'most popular' its a bit grotesque almost? idk. maybe i am bitter, i think thats a fair way of seeing my response to them. but given that the majority of the people *i* (note: me, personally) have seen fundraising through these events are white trans mascs who are fundraising for top surgery in their early 20s i think its fair to see where i am coming from (please note: tumblr user kankum is a white trans masc in her early 20s).

the point is was making in maybe not the best way, is that there is a certain amount of pre-existing social standing you need to have to even broach this as an idea. and white trans mascs are simply more likely to have it. we are less likely to be ostracised from our communities, live in such poverty we cant access community spaces like raves, and more likely to know organisers for music venues and djs than other members of the trans community. it is a cute and fun community centred way of helping trans ppl but it is mostly helping those who are at the top as is, or so i see it anyway.

EDIT: also, um, not to be rude, but do you think i dont have trans friends?

#and my hair is fine #I quit about 2 years ago #I’m so glad I did #I’m saving money and my hair feels healthier #and I am more convinced than ever that capitalism is scamming us #the way I wash my hair is just that I take extra long in the shower to thoroughly scrub my scalp with my fingers #and rinse water repeatedly through my hair #when you think about it it makes sense chemically and logically #soap isn’t magic goo #it works by making oils mix with water more easily #if you don’t use soap #it’s still possibly to remove oil from whatever you’re washing #it just takes longer and there’s likely to still be a thin residual coat of oil left behind #think of washing dishes for example #and the thing is that your hair and skin benefit from retaining a small amount of residual oil #when you strip them bare it makes them dry and unhealthy #and for hair at least it immediately starts overproducing oil to compensate #so your hair actually gets oily faster #look it up there are other people talking about it too #or DM me #campost

last christmas – ask me anything! what is it like to live in sweden? i’ve been dreaming of moving to (or visiting) scandinavia so i want tips from a local 🥰

oooooo i love this ask!!! i love love love living in sweden actually. i guess i can’t speak for all of the country since i have always lived in the capital and stockholm is very different from small cities. but i guess if i were to give some quick notes, it would be that… as soon as you’re somewhere other than the southern parts, expect a lot of snow in the winter, and expect trains and buses and subways to just all stop working. also don’t expect the plowing machines to actually come to your streets, they won’t unless you live like in the city center. 🙃

smaller cities tend to have less stuff to do and stores tend to be open much less (even convenience/grocery stores, when i went to a smaller city a few weeks ago the grocery store closed at 7pm on a saturday….). but it’s also a lot cozier in the smaller cities!! and im sure there’s another kind of community feeling there, where everyone knows everyone kind of.

other than that…. learn to love swedish fika (coffee break with pastries and stuff) and you’re all set <33

#this is mostly blabbering and i apologize #i’m very tired :(( #but if you have more questions or tips or something then feel free to drop by again!! #or dm me #last christmas! #jack's 1.5k celly! #anon!
