#purrs#but there will never stop being any of those things so actually what i literally need is to learn HARD AND FAST how to stop getting so#fucking triggered over a situation i know is NOTHING so bad that im anxious for the entire rest of the day and can’t even get any work done.#like (jade from tesco voice) girls… im not gonna lie to you. i think therapy is not working. i think i am not mentally or emotionally strong#enough to work in this job and i think i am never going to get mentally or emotionally stronger. ive been stuck in the quicksand too long#and now im atrophying. i cannot develop the situational awareness and motor skills or awakeness (and i mean AWAKEness.) to safely and#consistently drive a car. i cannot develop the intellect and drive and courage to get an advanced degree or be in a leadership position that#everyone actually sees as a leadership position lmfao. and i cannot develop the emotional intelligence and inner peace to not get triggered#out of my fucking mind at work to the point where im having anxiety heart palpitations and fighting back tears. i am just stuck as i am#forever. and you know how i know that? BECAUSE IVE WORKED AT THE NATIONALLY RENOWNED CENTER FOR YOU-ARE-NOT-STUCK-AS-YOU-ARE-FOREVER FOR#FIVE FUCKING YEARS SINCE ITS LITERAL FOUNDING AND HELPED TO FOUND IT AND IM STILL LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! i go back to square one EVERY#FUCKING DAY!!!!!!!! how am i supposed to tell other people who they are is what they bring and the world can change and whatever when i am#the fucking antithesis of that. when i don’t even believe my own words. like the way i want to punch out every window in this building rn i#HATE BEING LIKe this i hate being in the psychic prison of scared little girl mode all the time forever no matter what and being beyond help#and disappointing and burdening the people around me because i can’t be fucking normal about like. hierarchy and institutional politics LOL#delete later

The only time I was ever scared to request a book from the library was because it was a book that had an Erotica version and a non erotica version and I had to specify that yes I was here specifically For Porn and the lady did not even blink she was just like alright I will see if it's in the budget :D so I am now unstoppable
(it was not, in fact, in the budget, but they helped me get it from an inter library loan so it all worked out.)
I think the people saying they can't request queer books are caught up in the same kind of "I can't do this, I will be judged" mentality that I was with the aforementioned erotica, but instead of being fucking normal about it they have to idk. Make up this huge insurmountable wall that doesn't actually exist but if they pretend it does then it isn't THEIR fault that they can't do this thing. and I think also they need to go outside
first of all this is a very sweet story second yes exactly this
they don't want to actually bother to put in any effort into making changes in the place they live because they've resigned themselves to it being bad so they say there's nothing they can do and they don't try! I see this literally all the time both with union organizing and in my city in general
does this place suck?? YEAH!! should we lie down and let these motherfuckers run things?? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
sometimes doing The Right Thing involves doing something that makes you a little bit anxious. that doesn't mean it's not worth doing! at a certain point you're going to have to grow up and make an effort lmao

ok all of first screaming and crying over the new update etc etc. all of SECOND quick lore question(s) about blood pacts! (forgive me if there is a codex entry i overlooked just point me that way and i will head on over lol) how are they perceived culturally? i can’t quite tell from the flavor text when clem makes a deal with you if it’s intended to come off as “fairly standard/commonplace practice, if a little unusual in the specific context” vs “immediately very strange/extreme”? basically, How Weird is it supposed to be that clem offers that to you? is there any circumstance where it’s normal/expected to see them used? are all blood pacts magically binding? are there differences in cultural perception in the north vs south? upper class vs lower class? thanks!
the handshake is pretty universal; i actually had a conversation planned with Clem while you walked to the isolation district, but i had to cut it for pacing (and i plan to have a similar conversation later instead now) so there isn't really any indication in game yet, aside from the hunter's reaction when Clem offers it.
Tumblr media
in the codex entry for magic, blood magic is briefly touched on and how in certain instances it's "allowed," like healing magic. the handshake is similar, it's just treated like signing a contract, and like you see here in this conversation most people don't even consider it to be blood magic, it's become so disassociated with it. it's also not really called a bloodpact in game - that's just the easiest thing for me to call it but that name makes it sound more serious than it is.
it works more like a pinky promise than a "pact"; you can't intentionally break your side of the deal, and neither can Clementine. if you do, you can be injured/will lose something equivalent to the value of the thing you promised. this kind of magic is very loosey goosey; it very much is connected to the person's intentions and whether or not they are genuine. if something did happen to Clementine despite the hunter's best efforts, they wouldn't necessarily be punished to the fullest extent possible if they were truly trying everything in their power to protect them.
when Clem asks the hunter to shake on it in that way, they're basically ensuring that the hunter will not lie or turn on them, because now if they do there is the potential for the hunter to be punished as well. and vice versa, the hunter can assure that Clementine won't try to give them the slip without paying them again, so it's beneficial on both sides. it's not exactly uncommon, but it can be considered a little extreme or offputting in certain situations. it does actually make sense with Clem and the hunter - considering Clem just admitted to having never planned to pay them for their original deal, and the fact that they don't really know each other well, a handshake like that is an easy way to protect yourself when making deals with strangers.
and this is definitely a "working class" kind of gesture. rich people are too evil to ever be able to successfully fulfill a bloodpact. lmfao. it's definitely seen as "gross," demeaning, and insulting in higher class circles; and i would say far more malicious, too (as in if someone like Duncan wanted to make a bloodpact with you, it would almost definitely be a way for him to trap you in some kind of Situation) whereas a shake between two people just trying to get by together feels far more sincere and is seen more as just covering all your bases than trying to take advantage of someone.
however, all of that to say: when it comes to the trade with Duncan, the hunter doesn't understand what's happening, nor do they immediately get angry or suspicious of Clem afterwards, because what happened in the courtyard... let's just say a handshake shouldn't be able to compel the hunter in that way.

Me: Oh man. How do people do this? I wish I could take dance lessons, but that’s not really a solo activity…
Him: is this a call out post.
Me: this is a verbal statement?? That I made to myself?? Out loud??
Him: are you calling me out? I don’t really like dance, it’s like cooking for me. Y’know, one of those arts that’s nifty when other people do it. Pretty but also why. I could be doing other things. We can YouTube lessons probably though. I’d do it if you wanted. What got you on that?
Me: *holds up tablet* fic references. I tried to write a dance and couldn’t get the bodies to do what I needed. They’re all backwards somehow.
Him: Backward? *squints* Can I teach you more fighting? I love your fight scenes, you should write more of those too.
Me: ….sure?

Gojo having to see geto seal him in the prison realm knowing it's not him but his body being controlled by a curse which he hated most must have been devastating but to then see his body try to kill himself to save gojo must have been so heartbreaking to know part of him is still trapped in there.

Korzenie is a novel about The Discourse and I think that's beautiful (whole entire chapter relitigating the 1927 national debate about where Słowacki's remains should be interred when they were repatriated to independent Poland, at the Wawel or in Warsaw, though for a novel scaffolded around Freudian psychoanalysis it somehow leaves out my all-time favorite answer to the 'where should Słowacki's remains be buried' survey, Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna's fantastically succinct "he should be buried together with his mother because they loved each other very much")

Blood, Pride and God (for Broly 💚)
“DAMN.” Questions for Muses.
BLOOD. -What types of injuries has your muse sustained? What was the worst?  PRIDE. -What is your muses biggest flaw?  GOD. -Does your muse believe in a god? If so, describe it. 
Tumblr media
Alcohol’s touch was plain to see blushing over tanned features, glazed eyes staring off to whatever may hold their interest by texture or color while the questions were casually spoken as a way to pass the ‘nonexistence’ of time. Inhibition of his usual guard led down the path of being far more relaxed, loose and without care save for when he’d satiated that need for a deeper indulgence upon the bottle he nursed over. Another few gulps off the smooth lip of the rim against his own and the container was void of all its contents.. easily discarded with a toss and a heavy clank that threatened to shatter before it rolled away to rest wherever it may.
Heavy frame leaned against the plush comforts of a cushion, moving to lay on his back and sling an arm over his eyes. Numbness fell over his head.. mind swimming in that scatter of warmth and free of worry. It wasn’t restrictive.. it wasn’t cold.. it felt... Embracing..                                                             simple and unconvoluted..
However.. reaching for those memories became an obstacle in itself as the vexed whips of a tail would signify as it coiled and flopped over clumsily on itself. Forgotten seconds dribbled endless.. bled into minutes.. words fumbling over to make sense and connect the dots of those fog-bound memories of pain and personal little scraps of information being softly pried past the armor of heavily guarded mistrust and malice.
“ .. The worst.. ” What could be defined as ‘the worst’? His imprisonment within his own body and mind..? The various fights he got into as means for survival and then for conquest..? Plenty of injury had been suffered during his adolescent years.. those transformative experiences of learning to relish the taste of an enemy’s blood upon his tongue. Feeling the fangs of predators larger than himself manage to snag their jaws around an arm or leg, attempting to rip it off had he not been quick to pry open their maws.
“ ..Hmph... broke six ribs.. fracture three others. Hurt to breathe while healing but I became stronger for it. ”
A biggest flaw now.. of course that’d be some stupid question to ask. The Sorry Bastard called Kakarot should count their blessings Broly was too far in that sea of intoxicating warmth to really consider getting up and throttling him. Probably couldn’t even make it five steps before he’d need to steady himself but that was something else to carelessly toss onto the half-baked reasons for why he remained as he were on that comfortable cushion.
“ Wouldn’t... Wouldn’t you like to know..? ... Fucking stupid son of a bitch.. ”
Next question... asking about whether he believed in a god..
Doesn’t the moron ever know when to shut up..? What was bringing this sudden round of questions poking him for whatever information that can be milked from him. What was the goal of this...
All he came for was to indulge himself in getting inebriated off his ass after a particularly long and stressful set of weeks of having to find new hunting grounds after the last ones he visited were abandoned. That, coupled with the change of seasons signifying he needed to stock up on resources for the approach of scarcity in winter.. 
“ .. Once I heard how the old.. ” He hadn’t moved from his lounging posture, never letting the world see into those glassy eyes, “ ... Old way of living.. the ancient Saiyans... they worshipped the moon for the power it gave them. A deity.. ”
“ Hmph.. for all the good it did those idiots.. knowing now that no gods exist than the ones born by blood and flesh. ” What deity would even come down from their pearlescent thrones..? Gods of war.. destruction.. power and strength. What did it matter. Thinking back to sparse moments of where curious eyes would quietly observe intelligent life worship their gods and goddesses.. it only begged question to ask his father about it. Were there anything like that with the Saiyans no longer present..? Did they have something like that..
The answer came with a snippet of what the Ancients had believed before the simple factuality of the moon being nothing more than a lifeless satellite orbiting around another, larger planet. Science and technological advancements dispelled those beliefs and now, they had no gods to speak of other than ones inscribed to and lost to history. The only ones to care about such frivolous things were few and far in between as their society demanded warriors more than history keepers and other such indulgences.
“ I.. am a God in my own right. ”
“ ..And I’ll gleefully slaughter anyone who says they are a god.. ”
#likesguyskakarot#|| Tag: Answered#|| Tag: Gazing over the Abyss of Stars { Broly }#|| Character Study: {Broly}#( afljg i seen people answer ic but i'll blurb my thoughts in the tags bc lamflsjg )#( that was hard to pull out of him even when he's drunk off his ass. )#( Blood: ooo this actually may have a few answers depending on verse )#( I mean overall. he'd have a rough time growing up. broke an arm once. snapped an ankle. got stomped so damn hard in a brutal fight )#( against a powerful opponent when he was probably around 8 or 10. afnlsgj he might've mentioned a bit of that )#( to kakarot on a previous time they were drunk if I recall but if not afnlsgj yeah )#( he got hsi shit rocked and almost died bc of that but welp. he survived and went on a berserk episode. )#( HOWEVER BESIDES THAT... i think his worst injuries have been the rib breaking / fracturing )#( and having his own power backfire on him from his first movie but idk how that even fits into Kakarot's lore. )#( it might never had happened or idk what exactly even happened that led him to being on earth and free of control )#( but thats things to figure out later. )#( at any rate. another verse is with him getting his ass handed to him bc lmfao revenge is a bitch when he burned down a village )#( and a half saiyan hybrid spent a good chunk of her life getting strong enough to fight him )#( bc lamflsjg guess who was the big brute who nearly paralyzed a certain saiyan hybrid who tagged along with him for a while.)#( by nearly breaking their spine bc he got jealous over something. )#( it was a pretty hard battle but he was the one to actually go down first and as an ironic scar. he got his back stabbed into by fingers )#( like pretty much getting grabbed by his spinal column and getting thrashed around in the ground like that before he was dropped. )#( he still has those scars. four divots on the left of his spinal dip and one on the right side. )#( pretty sure its not hard to imagine it does pain him time to time and hitting him there is gonna give a good 30 seconds - a minute )#( of being unable to move as quickly or even flat out cause that much pain he can't move until he recovers after a minute or several. )#( nothing else came as close as that moment but aflsjf again. depends on verse ;w; )#( moving on to his biggest flaw. afnlas;jgsgdj his inability to even trust anyone outside of himself. his arrogance is another one. )#( not sure what is the BIGGEST bc they seem pretty even so far until something happenes or I play around with it a bit more. )#( haven't really explored that part bc he's already a flaming trash dumpster of a character asfklgj )#( bit hard to really pin down the main thing but ???? anfldgj i just feel at this moment that Arrogance and Distrust seem to be the )#( most contributing factors to all his other /charming/ little quirks in personality. if not. at least loneliness bc lol. )
