@reflective-muses said: ❝I made you some tea.❞ ll Sickness starters (Accepting!)

"Oh? Won't Lynette get upset at you for having 'tea time' without her? Well, at least it's just the drink. If there was dessert as well, she would not forgive you."

She may be a little under the weather right now, but that will not stop the Traveler from being a little cheeky.

"Just kidding. Thank you very much for the tea. I appreciate it." She carefully took the cup with both hands, blowing a few times to prevent scorching her tongue before taking a sip.

"It's good...Some warm tea truly does wonders for a sore throat."

“Dooo III ~ have something to sand off the lacquer...” nimbly did her fingers work, snatching off her bag and prying it open, sorting through every paper-made gadget and gizmo, the occasional rattle of Mora, “Toooo be honest? Prior to you saying it, I didn't know this,” hands now freed, they ran along the furniture's glossy, honestly beautiful, top. “Had a name until now! I always just called it... the top. I've applied one before, buuut I never really stopped to look at the names.”

Pulling shut the strings, Yoimiya hmm'd. While fully aware of where every shop and trinket store was in Inazuma, Sumeru was more of a mystery. It was only with the Traveler's maneuvering that she had gotten a meal for breakfast with dinner no guarantee, so to claim she knew where in the world to retrieve such a thing would be a lie.

... Yoimiya Naganohara never told lies.

(Unless they were necessary and held legal ramifications.)

“Soo, I've got a deal! I've kinda' only been here once before, and I wasn't exactly able to get a good layout of the land. But, I did make sure to pack a good amount of Mora - both for souvenirs, and anything else I might want, or need. IIIf you don't mind showing me the way to a workshop, I'll pay for something to sand off the piece you're working on! Ooh! Ooh, and maybe something to put on top of it after you've finished working on it!”

But...

“Or, you could tell me the directions, and I'd - you know - pop in, pop out!”

@reflective-muses // continued! ♥

#reflective-muses #ic‚ yoimiya.#I've loved Kaveh for awhile too! So it's awesome getting to see your Kaveh in action. c: I'm sorry for the delay!

💘 (for Alhaitham); 👍 (for Cyno); 💑 (for Childe); 💯 (for Diluc) [sorry if this is too many, you have too many good muses to pick from!]

Sex+Romance Headcanons ★ @reflective-muses ★ Accepting

💘 What are the ways my muse says ‘I love you’ without actually saying it?

{Ooh, I can see Alhaitham being big on subtly doing things for partners. Kind of like going an Acts of Service route, but not as openly. Kinda like if he sees a partner struggling with a house chore or something, he'd adjust or do something to make it a tad easier for them before going right back to whatever book he'd been reading before.}

👍 Does my muse prefer to be asked on a date, or would they rather do the asking?

{I can see him going up to someone and bluntly asking if they'd want go on a date. He'd be fine with himself asking, but wouldn't be opposed to someone asking him.}

💑 What are my muse’s requirements for a potential partner?

{First off, being a family-person is a big deal for Childe, as well as being more or less willing to accept what he does (if he does reveal it) as a Harbinger... and being willing to spar with him on the regular-}

💯 What is my muse’s ideal date?

{Ooh, okay, so, I can see a date wit Diluc being after he closes the tavern for the night, and him taking his date down to the Winery. Where he's had a cute little dinner picnic set up, overlooking the grape fields with the sun setting.}

gonna have to update my will soon and i am absolutely gonna make everyone else do their first wills at the same time i update mine and it's so funny how everyone is just like "ugh but it's so much effoooooort" and it's like. yeah but it's Important and you'll prefer it Done rather than Not Done if worst comes to worst

if you're estranged from your family of origin like?? u don't want them having custody of your remains and misgendering you in your obituaries or whatever, or putting you through religious ceremonies that you reject

you don't want them keeping your death secret or shutting out your actual family and loved ones from your death and the grieving process just bc you didn't write up a piece of paper

and that's not even thinking about the division of your assets? stuff like savings or bonds etc if you have them, other assets if you have them - your home if you own it, your car or bike, your big pieces of tech, your collections

if you're an artist or another independent creator, who gets to receive the profits in your death, who gets to control your body of work, who inherits creative control of your work or your name? do you want your unpublished work to be finished by someone else and put out there?

and that's not even considering like. an advance directive / living will, which for many of us with chronic illnesses (esp considering long covid) are important to keep in mind, to make sure you're given appropriate care if you are rendered unable to control your own circumstances, or if you don't want to be kept on certain forms of life support, or if your family follow a religious doctrine you don't that would lead to you being denied certain medical care, etc

like i know it's easy to sort of go all-edge and be like, oh well, i don't care what happens when i die, i'm cool, etc, but like. if you have people you love and care about? if they depend on you?

and even if it's like "Oh, fuck the state, it's terrible, i shouldn't have to play by their rules" ok well if you don't have living relatives and you don't make a will then the state gets control of your assets, and wouldn't you prefer to give it to a charity or an organisation you love and trust?

like if you die in the UK and your assets can't go anywhere they go to the fucking Crown. would you rather king jackass and his line of inbred imperialists get your assets, or a trans charity? exactly.

#musings #like esp as unmarried queer people but even when you ARE married like #when you're in found family situations and you have adopted others into your family unit you want that to be reflected in law and paperwork #like this is not assimilationism it is ensuring that the state cannot FORCE traditional dispersal of your assets in your death #let alone making arrangements for your position in a living will

Oh my god it's The Alchemy day I have SO many thoughts about this song so I'm gonna try and condense them.

First of all, the song starts and ends with "This happens once every few lifetimes," which is a statement filled to the BRIM with irony, in my view. The entire album up to this point has been concerned with two romances, both of which Taylor states she felt were destined and fated and "storybook" in their own ways. The entirety of TTPD is exploring how these fated, destined, storybook romances could actually crumble, and with it, her faith and belief in the existence of fate and destiny and storybook love.

But THEN... almost at the end of the standard run of the album, Taylor states that she's getting back from recovering from this tragedy - "I'm back / The hospital was a drag / Worst sleep that I ever had". She gets back from the messy process of healing from the events described on the album, and despite everything finds herself falling in love again.

This is why the title is significant, too. Alchemy is the pseudoscience of making a material into something more valuable. And this reflects the emotional process of Taylor falling in love again - she felt like the past two tragedies took the shine off of everything, killed her belief that love could ever work. But then, despite everything, she falls in love again and the normal, even tragic world she lived in before is transformed into something golden.

And then the first line repeats again, to reflect the cyclical nature of what she has experienced. Obviously, "this" doesn't happen once every few lifetimes, it's happened twice before on the album and is happening again in this song. She's falling in love, she's finding something beautiful and fated, and she can't help but find it gorgeous and meaningful, even if she's been shown again and again that she might be proven wrong in the end. And it feels so special that even if it's obvious that it isn't a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it feels that rare and that precious.

In this song, love is the alchemy, the process of turning normalcy into meaning and beauty, and she can't help it.

#GOD this song is so good #taylor swift #ttpd #the alchemy #shh gilly #don't even get me started on the way she obscures the muse on this song too like #we see all the football references but also these echoes of the past two relationships as well #and you can't help but see the darkness in that #that these two terrible tragedies reflect in the new #but that's part of the alchemy too #she sees the old in the new but despite all that she can't help but fall in love again #the alchemy transforms her sadness and heartbreak into something valuable #which is a theme that also comes up again in the manuscript btw #ttpdminutes

Kyoko and Junko are two sides of the same coin, in terms of their Ultimate abilities.

Junko is the Ultimate Analyst, which lets her analyze and learn Talents, sure, but most importantly lets her predict what's going to happen in the future based on the data she has. Trends, people, interactions, relationships - all of that is something she can mentally and easily comb through to accurately guess at what will happen in the next step, two steps, three steps.

Junko's Talent lets her predict the future. Accurately.

Kyoko is the Ultimate Detective, which lets her analyze the past and figure out what happened to get people where they are now. She can look at people and determine their current everything and accurately determine how that grew out of their past everything. She observes to find motives to explain a current murder by gathering details that show what previously happened.

Kyoko's Talent lets her retrace the past. Accurately.

Between the two of them, they can see everything.

#musings #bandit writes fic #dr1 end rewrite fic #junko enoshima #kyoko kirigiri #danganronpa #that's why it has to be makoto AND kyoko TOGETHER #makoto reflects junko in terms of hope vs. despair #but he NEEDS kyoko as detective #because kyoko can read the past steps junko took #she's a reflection of past vs. future #but it also means junko can LITERALLY leave the breadcrumbs she needs for kyoko to follow #because she saw the crumbs to walk the trail forward #and kyoko will see them to walk the trail back #yes i want this to come up in the fic proper at some point #but i think this is also why kyoko is the biggest threat in dr1 #every step junko makes in her predictions kyoko can trace right back to her in the opposite direction #etc.#and then you get into personality opposites and that's a whole other thing #XD

It's 2024, and the ponytail is real.

It's been nearly two decades since the end of main canon, and nearly one since No Breaths from Hell. If Kubo won't give my boy a glow-up, so help me, I will.

In retrospect, Etoiles calling BadBoyHalo out was almost prescient.

He accused him of only fighting battles he could win and not engaging in combat and running away if there was any chance at loss, especially if the odds were against him.

Last night, with the egg in their care left at 10% health and morale badly sunk, Bad gave up alongside the only two teammates who were still present (Niki, under armed and confused, and Tina, who arrived late). They did not rally for the egg, only making minor efforts to shore up the location before throwing in the towel completely.

They could not win, so they chose not to play any more. They gave up. And the Blue egg was taken away.

Not a good look for the self-proclaimed protector of all of the eggs. I’m curious to see if that choice comes back to haunt BBH later.

#qsmp #qsmp speculation #Qsmp meta #qsmp badboyhalo #just an observation that occurred to me while working #so I wrote it down here before I could forget it #not this is in-character musing and does not reflect the OOC logistics that impacted Team Blue

I know Halsin in canon says that toy bears are "not the most dignified depiction" of the animal, but that isn't going to stop me from thinking that he had a cloth bear as a kiddo even a little bit.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #Halsin #this is one of those silly 'canon is wrong actually' moments ( i kid i kid)#halsin and his brothers and sisters each had little cloth animals that reflected their baby names #he wore that toy to the ground and it was patched so many times it didn't look like a bear anymore

I am someone who exclaims, 'it's quite chilly today, isn't it?' as I take another sip of my iced coffee. I am also someone who would rather press the glass of iced coffee against my eyes (or the warm mug of jasmine tea) to provide some relief instead of just use the eyedrops the doctor prescribed (and which sit in my drawer of unorganized medication).

I am someone who wants to talk about the film I just watched and the book I just read to the person who recommended it to me. But I won't text them because they are my friend's boyfriend and I am so very careful of boundaries when it comes to other people's. I am someone who is learning how to be that way about my boundaries too.

I am someone whose helix piercing doesn't seem to heal no matter how many months or years go by and someone who has not yet decided on a tattoo though she decided she wanted one a decade ago. I am someone who will let you cry and talk even if we are not close because my awkwardness is not important in front of another person's grief, pain, or sadness and I am someone who will make that allowance for others even if they won't make it for me.

I am someone who will buy you sunflowers and also someone who will buy myself sunflowers because my mother taught me to be a giver but also to satisfy my own desires and not wait around for others. I am someone who wonders why she is writing this and also increasingly using third person to talk about herself but will let herself do it because writing is the one aspect of her life where she does not restrict herself.

I am someone who wonders if there is a person, a guy, out there who will love such a person? I am someone who wonders if there is a person, a guy, out there that I will love? What kind of guy will he be, what kind of guy will he have to be? I have been told I have high expectations and I struggled with it as a teenager and in my early 20s and still some times now I struggle. But I accept it now — I am someone who has high expectations. And it is not a judgement. And it is not a warning. It's a fact. And like most other facts, it doesn't have to be changed, only understood and worked with.

I am someone who will "maintain" me and find others who would love to do so too. Now, too, I have some of those in my life. And so, am I not someone who is lucky? Am I not someone who is loved? Am I not someone who is understood? And am I not someone to whom being understood is a prerequisite for being loved? And yet am I not someone who understands that's not the nature of most love? And am I not someone who is accepting of that as I am of many things? So, then, isn't it okay when I am not accepting of a few things? Am I not allowed to be someone who is not agreeable? Of course I am.

Because whoever it is I am, however it is I am, I am human too. Flawed, fickle, faceted.

And if I am someone who understands that about humans, am I not someone who is also forgiving?

I am. I am. I am.

The coffee is over and so is this funk.

no need

-

the church of long shadows

of trees upon trees

no need to fall to one's knees

here, no need

-

the muse is a crow

perched near me, in the pines

not a warning at all

but a blessing

all mine

-

no god but my own breath

as wide as the sky

my footfalls

my heartbeat

the light in my eyes

-

On Warmth

A little exploration into the world of instant gratification, and you will find something rather striking.

The living in 'extremes'.

The world today thinks in binaries (unfortunately). It's either absolute ignorance or undiluted visionaries of the last stage. It's either too hot or too cold, am I right?

We live in between these polarities. Care to explore the route in between? Stop and watch the sunset, Sniff the fresh summer's morning, stand a while to pet the cat on the sidewalk, lift the hunched shoulders and watch those two strangers dramatically talk to each other.

Oh, to be able to smile at your neighbours and nod a hello, to share lunchboxes at recess with your pals, to bite into a ripe apple and hear the luxurious crunch.

No, I prefer to notice the carefully picked scent on your clothes and the appreciation in your voice in conversations.

I prefer to note the warmth of your palms in mine. The tiny knocks on my desk that remind me to drink water, all the gestures of warmth. And, no, it's not sparks flying, it's not hot, there's no 'heat'.

But the warmth, we so easily dismiss is read between the polarities and speaks in gigantic waves.

Find warmth, my dears. It is quite misplaced and ignored. No amount of ignorance and sparks can replace it. Rest assured, warmth cannot be spoken. It can only be felt.

A cringe poem I wrote years back....

Don't try to invade my personal space, Don't touch my body nor my face No, not because of your gender and race Neither because I' having bad days

It is for everyone, you're not the special case Whether in public or in the workplace Remember this basic rule always "MAINTAIN AN ADEQUATE DISTANCE"

Not that I want to treat you like dirt, I strongly mean these words, not a blurt On my thighs and under my shirt Certain touches cause great discomfort.

Trust me, it has nothing to do with the mood Only that, touching someone without consent is really lewd. Humble request, not to sound rude Just try to act a little more prude

For long, in our society it brewed A judgment rough and crude, That the victim was supposed to be reviewed But now that our senses have been renewed

All those cool dudes are really screwed Because now legal measure will be pursued You'll be surely sued And judges will be the final ones to conclude

For sexual harassment Or touching without consent So you better act a little descent Or jail will be your next segment

And all friends who've been through this,

Whatever you tolerated, whatever you underwent, Play, push, pull or another torment You need to suppress their dissent And put forward your argument

Ask for help better not too late Courage is all you need to generate Be patient, be sedate And at last, everything will be in a better state

Justice is not served in silver plate No need to hesitate And for sure, this movement, once you initiate A lot will be able to relate

Your words should debate, activate and agitate Your actions should illustrate, educate and generate Don't dominate, irritate or isolate And finally, it should cultivate and recreate Our new and safe world
