PAC: Lunar Eclipse - General Messages

Sup y'all, I'm back for the second round of my PAC marathon happening before the end of October! I wanted to pull some guidance from this lunar eclipse season, especially since it's felt very energetically heavy since the last full moon. All three piles are going through some stage of great transformation taking place -- just in time for Scorpio season.

To assist me, I've consulted three red dragons, known in the deck as Watcher dragons, to help you choose your reading. I like Universal Dragon oracle as an "energy" deck by embodying the traits each dragon represents through meditation practice, and these red dragons specialize in guiding through important life transitions. If you prefer to choose intuitively by color, I've also added three gemstones for your piles below:

Pile 1, Knowledge Dragon + Cherry Quartz Pile 2, Awakening Dragon + Lepidolite Pile 3, Emergence Dragon + Lapis Lazuli

Pile 1: Knowledge Dragon + Cherry Quartz

Supermoon, 21. Venus, 5. Heart Healing, Alcalb: Poison and Medicine, 4 of Cups, 2 of Wands, VI Lovers, King of Pentacles, XX Judgement

Please be gentle with yourself at this time, pile 1. You're in need of a soothing kind of support. This could be a turbulent time to deal with purging out any negativity from your past. You may get reminders of some old issues which return out of nowhere to grab your attention. Even if occasional, you may need to remind yourself that you will be okay.

Be open with giving yourself comfort, or letting others baby you a little bit when you're feeling down. The King of Pentacles could be you or someone else, but this is the profile of somebody who is generous and aims to please. Embodying Venusian energy, this King wants you to feel at rest and does not mind offering tasty fruit or a warm blanket to cheer you up. Sitting next to the Four of Cups, it may be emphasizing that you need to allow yourself the chance to receive this care.

If your issue is related to a partnership, going out and spending time with friends or even on your own may be a better way to take it easy, instead of trying to work out anything now. This is not the exact time or place to be settling out bigger issues in your relationships unless it's urgent. They'll show up on their own time anyway. This reading wants to focus on maintaining your emotional well being. If this is not relationship but involves a situation in the present, then step away as much as you can and be as kind and patient with yourself as possible.

The key here is to maintain self awareness when these strong emotions move through you, that's what the Knowledge dragon wants you to know. "Knowing is half the battle." There may be a strong pull to making the kind of choices that can lead to major growth in your life path, but although new events and alliance are waiting ahead of you, the lunar eclipse is a golden opportunity to just purge and completely release whatever trauma based feelings are trying to hold you back.

You could be particularly affected by the phases and placements of the moon. Check your natal chart to see and compare the transiting moon with yours, see how the moon makes contact with other planets as it moves through each of the signs. If you're interested in brushing up your studies, whether astronomy or astrology, this is a very good time to glean a lot more insight than normal. It's easier to learn lessons when you're in a state of ease.

(extra note: I see multiple fruits in your pile: the apple stained glass, cherry quartz, pomegranate, and the berries the blue jays are holding. Fruits can be a reference to eating healthy snacks, or an emphasis on romance. These mood swings may feel intense, but they will yield fruit for you. Please take it how it resonates for you.)

Pile 2: Awakening Dragon + Lepidolite

Full Moon Sagittarius, 15. Retrograde, 6. Freedom, Aldebaran: Destruction and Rejection, Knight of Wands, 6 of Cups, 8 of Wands, 9 of Swords, 8 of Swords

Hey pile 2, you picked one of my favorite cards in this dragon deck! I love how the light in the tree hollow resembles a portal. The energy of the Retrograde card looks to be the very opposite: all the colors of nature are drained, and all that's left are structures of near perfect symmetry and order. It's almost like you're the figure in the Retrograde card who's actually looking back and choosing to leave behind the old structure for the new and unknown with nervous enthusiasm., but not without wistfulness.

This is something you've likely sensed would happen and now that the predicted situation is at hand, things must change quickly to adjust. It reminds me of movies where the character is watching something like a building fall or a ship sink, but they have an escape pod where they can be safe with family. In these movies, the character always takes another look back to remember all the good and bad times that made it so special. The character wants to stay in that space forever until the others shout "c'mon! Hurry up!"

It's understandable that when we sense a big change is underway, we take time out to appreciate the good times had. There's a difference, though, between simply being nostalgic by enjoying memories, and the fear based resistance of walking towards whatever lies ahead. You may have recently gone through a deep shadow work period where some of your anxieties were brought to light and dealt with. You're nearing the end of this difficult cycle, however, so give yourself the chance to breathe a little before moving on.

When the next chapter comes, it may happen rather quickly. That's why the Six of Cups and Lepidolite want you to take a step back just a little and heal your more gentle, imaginative, fun loving side. Read an old comic book or bake cookies, surround yourself with familiar things. This will allow you to be more flexible and resilient about encountering anything that comes next, instead of feeling worn out.

You're at a place now where you're ready to let go of an old cycle, one that kept you feeling a little stuck in the dark. Some balance is needed. Enjoying pieces of the past does not mean getting mired in it and unable to progress. If anything, sometimes it's necessary to take a step back to move two steps forward, like when we watch a movie twice and see new things we hadn't noticed during the first watch. Bring the best from the past with you. When the time is right, don't be afraid to not run, not walk, but to step carefully into the portal.

Pile 3: Emergence Dragon + Lapis Lazuli

South Node, 8. Scorpio, 2. Understanding, Atlas: Guidance and Discovery, XX Judgement, VII Chariot, 4 of Wands, Knight of Swords, XV Devil

Overwhelmingly, pile 3, I'm seeing that you're getting the green light to go ahead and embark on your next path. Notice all the teal color in your oracle cards? It's a popular color in hospitals as it provides a gentle contrast to healing that could be painful and frightening for patients. I initially imagined someone wading through a dark sewer only to approach the light of the other side. In the Understanding card, you can see that the hooded figure is walking over the stream and not in it. It's as if the bridge appeared out of nowhere. And the water looks pure and flowing smooth.

Something in your external world may be pushing you along to your next journey, whether or not you're entirely ready. What is it you would like to do, or where is it you would like to go next? I feel with the Judgement card, it's talking about a specific issue or event in your life. It's less a case of throwing darts to see what will stick and more of following the path that aligns with your true self. Your life is leading you to your life path with two thumbs up.

It's as if Judgement as a card represented an intersection, where many roads of various directions diverge into one area. You must put your turn signal on and indicate where you plan to proceed next. The sooner you can get clear on which road to take, the faster your next chapter will roll out. Just make sure you're using the right signal.

The biggest hurdle to overcome will be the ever present comfort zone. A comfort zone is not something to be fought. It's a necessary part of keeping up with the body and mind. Imagine constantly taking in novel material? That's what babies do, and they speak in gurgles 'cause they can hardly stand that everything is so new! It can be overwhelming.

People aren't always meant to push themselves to miserable exhaustion like Atlas just because a life of being more relaxed and certain seems boring and less fulfilling. But at the same time, we must learn to expand past what we know and love to something fresh and exciting. Whatever goal you're seeking to start or resolve, the light is green and you have the right of way. Spend time getting clear on your choices. But don't hold back anymore!

Cas/Crowley

What made you ship it? i mean i was always crowstiel-positive. like, i'm a multishipper by trade, and unless something is just not there or i have a specific reason to dislike it, i will usually be, at the very least, ready to be convinced. but crowstiel was actually motivated by me getting really into crowley. because crowstiel is like. the least depressing crowley ship, especially as time goes on. like their relationship is flirty and antagonistic on both sides, and while like there is a level of unpleasant onesidedness between them (i.e. crowley seems to have more genuine affection for cas than cas for crowley), that's first of all, something that could easily change, because cas (in the later seasons, which is mostly what i'm talking about) is a person who is pretty affection starved and if he spend a lot of time with crowley he would warm up pretty quickly. also i've made a post about this before and i just spent like an hour combing my archive for it and couldn't find it? but the thing about cas is that he has experienced terrible consequences for his anger before. like, the horrific, irreconcilable guilt of godstiel arc is something cas can never resolve, it's maybe his single defining trauma. plus there's the fact that the winchesters (especially dean) become more and more the most important people in his life and don't take his emotions seriously + treat them like an inconvenience, and cas fears losing the winchesters to a pretty extreme degree because they are the only people in his life so he spends a lot of time trimming off his rough edges and denying his feelings of any kind. but ESPECIALLY anger. to the point where he is like. actually super repressed about it. like, cas completely represses and internalizes any anger he experiences because his anger has had such negative consequences + he is afraid of getting actively punished for it + he feels like he doesn't deserve to ask for better/wish for better/resent what he's been given/be unsatisfied with what he's been given + he feels like he deserves most mistreatment he gets. but the thing is some of that suppressed rage has to come out sometime. and with cas the way it comes out is against acceptable targets. people who he would consider enemies. this is why, for example, he goes so bananas on donatello: it's all that repressed anger about other things, exploding to the surface when he's "allowed" to feel anger at all. and i feel like THAT is a big reason why cas could simply get over his dislike of crowley. because a big part of the reason he hates crowley so much is that not only is crowley one of the only acceptable targets who is actually in cas' social circle, but also: cas kind of blames crowley for godstiel arc, in ways that would completely fall apart if anyone looked too closely, but do allow cas some cathartic rage. but the thing is if you took cas out of his situation with the winchesters and into a healthier one where someone (crowley :3?) was nice to him, he would like. get over that. like if he didn't feel he needed to repress all his anger and negative emotions, they wouldn't come out so explosively against acceptable targets. and cas would become way more open to like. actually liking crowley, you know? and i think he would. he's like a cat. he needs to be socialized to crowley but he'll come 'round. and then both cas and crowley will have someone to be nice to him. oh and also i started getting really into crowstiel as an explicit rejection of drowley, which i just hate. dean is so mean to crowley!!! what has he done to deserve this!!!

What are your favorite things about the ship? um. i like that they're nice to each other. i also like that crowley can appreciate that cas is insane girl pussy (in a way dean never will because he simply doesn't have the imagination). i like that crowley really thinks he holds all the cards but he's deluding himself. i like that crowley shot his shot by calling himself agent jay-z in season twelve (and that imo it worked). i like that both cas and crowley would get off pretty equally on feeling like crowley had power over cas, but that it wouldn't be true in actuality. i like that crowley would like to spoil cas and cas would love being spoiled. i like that it would probably be pretty healthy once they kind of settled down. i like that they could have insane freaky angeldemon sex no holds barred. i like that cas would be down to hold crowley during his scheduled crying times (4pm-5pm first tuesday of every month). i like that crowley would want to adopt jack soooooooo bad that man has baby FEVER like for real.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? could be endgame. tbh. let the winchesters rot.

THE GREATEST HITS (2024)

Starring Lucy Boynton, Justin H. Min, David Corenswet, Austin Crute, Jackson Kelly, Retta, Andie Ju, Rory Keane, Pocket Turlington, Naomi Phan, Tom Yi, Evan Shafran, Jenne Kang, Mary Eileen O'Donnell, Ren Burttet, Nelly Furtado, Phil Manzanera, Andy McKay and Bryan Ferry.

Screenplay by Ned Benson.

Directed by Ned Benson.

Distributed by Searchlight Pictures. 94 minutes. Rated PG-13.

There are few things in the world that I love more in movies than music, romance and time travel. The Greatest Hits merges all these things together, so it really should be like catnip to me.

So, why didn’t I like it more than I did? In fact, why did I find it kind of boring and not just a tiny bit maudlin?

The Greatest Hits rides on a kind of genius central concept, and then squanders it all mercilessly.

Harriet (played by Lucy Boynton, who was Freddie Mercury’s female bestie in Bohemian Rhapsody) is a music producer who is going through a severe bout of depression after the sudden accidental death of Max (David Corenswet), the love of her life.

As a woman whose life revolves around music, she finds that listening to certain songs from the past can – quite literally – transport her to the time in which she originally experienced the song. She quickly becomes addicted to this strange new skill, spending most of her time picking certain songs and going back to relive her experiences with Max.

Unfortunately, you can’t always live in the past, and her pressing urge to keep returning to years gone by starts to negatively affect her present, particularly when she meets a guy (Justin H. Min) in a grief counseling group and realizes she kind of likes him. (Apparently, she didn’t like him enough for the screenwriter to actually give his character a name – unless I missed it – despite the fact that he plays a huge role in the second half of the film.)

Still, it’s a wild idea, full of possibilities and wonder. It’s a shame that The Greatest Hits can’t live up to its greatest bits.

For one thing, Harriet is a really miserable character, who doesn’t even seem to realize the wondrous miracle of what is happening to her. Instead, the film treats this gift as a burden, as an addiction that only makes her even more miserable in the present. And, yes, I get that the film suggests that you can get lost in the past and at the same time lose your way in the present, but there must have been a better way to convey that message.

The film also does not seem to know how to portray Harriet’s relationships, both with the late ex and the new dude in her life. It turns out to be a mix of tortured longing and romcom cliches – and for a movie that trades in romantic comedy platitudes, The Greatest Hits has very little in the way of lightness or humor.

However, The Greatest Hits does get bonus points for brief cameos by former pop star Nelly Furtado and the classic rock band Roxy Music, playing a song from their recent 50th anniversary reunion tour. In fact, the movie’s use of music in general as a necessity in the fabric of life is pretty spot on.

Too bad they couldn’t get the rest of their ideas to come together nearly as well.

Physical handicaps: suffers from tinnitus, has dealt with knee pain on and off most of his life from shrapnel removal in the army.

Fashion: very basic white boy stuff -- khaki/cargo shorts/pants, henley shirts, work boots or hiking shoes. when he dresses up, it's a basic black suit. but he manages to make it look good.

PERSONALITY STUFF

One word to describe positively: adventurous.

One word to describe negatively: guarded.

Introverted or extroverted: introverted.

Favorite (or overused) phrases: "roger."

Optimist or pessimist: somewhere in between.

Describe their sense of humor: very dry, but definitely funny. He's the kind of person that makes you laugh, but it surprises the hell out of you, first.

How do they display affection?: Jason isn't really used to affection, hugging is still new to him, and touching in general (unless someone he is intimate with) feels awkward. he'd be more likely to display affection by giving someone a bouquet of flowers.

How do they see themselves?: like a lumberjack that doesn't actually cut down any trees, truth be told. Jason sees himself as a good natured human being who only wants good for the world around him, regardless of what that means. but Jason also sees the physical and mental scars of what he's been through.

How do they want to be seen by others?: hopefully the same way he sees himself, but without the scars.

What would they change about themselves and why?: for as much as he has been through in his life, Jason isn't sure that there's much that he would change about himself. he's confident in his own skin, and genuinely does like himself.

PERSONALITY II

Are they competitive?: he is; he grew up very competitive, but in a negative way. if he couldn't win, he'd give up. now, he at least knows not to be sore loser and to try to be gracious.

Do they rush to conclusions?: not anymore, he's spent plenty of time and money on therapy to learn not to rush to conclusions, and to think things through carefully.

Do they take time out to think about actions and consequences?: yes. most of the time, anyway, he genuinely does try to use his brain when he has the opportunity!

How do they react to praise?: deflection, through and through. Jason will give them a compliment back and try to focus on something good that they did, or how great they look, instead.

To criticism?: taking it under advisement and trying his best to learn from it... or letting it keep him up at night. he does have a tendency to dwell on things like that.

What is their greatest fear?: losing his sister and Rosalyn. it may have taken moving back to Merrock for Jason to realize how much he had missed having family, and just how much Cordelia's presence in his life mattered to him, but he knows that he would do absolutely anything to not lose that.

What are their biggest secrets?: Jason doesn't really have secrets. he has things that he doesn't talk about, like his time overseas (he does talk, but not frequently, and only once he really trusts someone), but he doesn't really keep secrets, per se.

What is their philosophy of life?: to just live life -- to not let anything hold you back, and to follow your own heart.

When was the last time they cried?: leaving his job in Yellowstone, the day that they threw him his 'going away' party and his co-workers all snatched him up in a group hug.

Do they cry openly/in front of others?: no, not at all. it has to be a really emotional moment, and someone he trusts and loves to really be open and vulnerable in front of them.

PERSONALITY III

What haunts them?: war, and everything that goes with it.

What will they stand up for?: Jason is very passionate about mental health for veterans, and making sure that they are taken care of after they leave the service. environmental rights are important to him, too; issues like climate change and taking care of farmers. anything to do with the earth.

Are they indoorsy or outdoorsy?: outdoorsy.

Night owl or morning lark?: bit of both, but morning if he had to choose between the two.

What sense do they most rely on?: probably sight most of the time, but scent when he's firefighting.

How do they treat others?: with respect. although Jason tries to be nice, he knows that he has his off days. but he would never let that push him to treat someone with disrespect.

What quality do they most value in a friend?: understanding; Jason is not always a bubbly, happy, fun person. he can be! but he has days where he just wants to sit in the woods and think. or not think. and having friends who respect that and take long hikes with him, or just spend time sitting by the lake always win him over.

What do they consider an overrated virtue?: temperance.

What are their views on religion?: on a good day, Jason believes that there is something out there. he prays in times of need, but most of his belief is that you get what you give: he tries to put as much good into the world as possible, not just to get some back, but because that's how things should be.

What are their views on politics?: having served in the army, Jason feels like he has a unique view and understanding on politics that people really only pick up in that same position. he is a registered democrat, but mostly only votes in local elections, where he feels he is making a difference on a level that impacts him. he also is an issue voter, and will vote if something that matters to him is at stake, every time.

What are their views on sex?: have as much or as little as you want. it's really no one's business but your own, and the people you choose to sleep with. as long as you are old enough to make the decision for yourself (and within the law), then have fun. and absolutely do not be shitty to someone, or force someone to feel bad if they aren't into it.

PERSONALITY IV

Under what circumstances would they be able to kill someone?: now, absolutely none. Jason cannot imagine a worse feeling than knowing that you are responsible for ending someone's life.

Do they prefer routine or spontaneity?: routine, although he is slowly staring to find the joy in taking things day by day, and trying to have more unplanned fun in his day.

Describe their pet peeves: people disrespecting nature; garbage left on the roadside, fires left burning, wild life harmed for no reason, a general lack of understanding about how important the ecosystem is.

When did they last lie and what’s their view of lying?: for the most part, Jason doesn't lie. life is too short for half truths or outright deception. he may sugar coat things or be vague about topics he doesn't want to talk about, though.

When did they last make a promise and do they keep promises?: promises sort of go hand in hand with lying. why say something if you don't mean it or don't intend on following through with something? he probably promised to do something at work, and he always does.

Are they more of a leader or a follower?: somewhere in between. he has no problem leading or following when the situation calls for it.

Do they like being around large groups of people? Why or why not?: no, definitely not. loud spaces are generally a no for Jason; they're hell on his tinnitus. but he's definitely better on on one, or in a small group o people than he is in a large group. even worse if it's a tight space with a lot of people.

What are their views on social media?: he uses it primarily to get back into the swing of having a social life, but he honestly isn't into it very much.

Have they ever been bullied?: no, not really.

Have they ever been the bully?: while he wouldn't consider himself a traditional bully, he definitely could be a bit of a brat growing up, and picked on people.

FRIENDS & FAMILY

How big is their immediate family?: the Browning family is intermediate in size; father, mother, and a few siblings. but Jason only currently has a relationship with his younger sister.

How about their extended family?: that's a little bit bigger! like most local families, they have aunts, uncles, cousins, and people that they're half-related to through marriage. the curse and blessing of living in a small town.

Who is their family?: for Jason, his family is Cordelia and Rosalyn, his sister and niece. that's all he needs.

Do they have siblings? Older or younger?: yes, Jason has a younger sister named Cordelia, and a couple of other siblings that he doesn't have a relationship with at the moment.

Do they get along with the parents and siblings?: the last time that Jason really had a relationship with his parents, he was a kid, a teenager. when he left Merrock to join the military, he didn't really stay in touch, past a postcard here and there. his father expressed disappointment in his choice to not reenlist, and his mother took his side, so he cut them off. Cordelia, though, Jason loves. he feels protective over her, while also proud of who she has become. they're getting to know each other all over again, as adults.

Describe their parents: Jason doesn't have a relationship with his parents and honestly doesn't know a lot about them in the present. he had a decent relationship with his father when he was younger; he would attend his games and matches, but whenever Jason lost interest, so did his dad. his mother is all about style and appearance, always wanting her family to look perfect, from the inside out.

Describe their best friend: at this point in his life, Jason doesn't really believe that he has a best friend. he's still getting to know all of his old (and new) friends.

Describe their attitude towards family: for a long time, he had himself convinced that he didn't need or want family in his life, that there was nothing that they could offer that he didn't already have. that has, of course, changed now that he has a relationship with his sister again, and he's realized how much he has missed her. he isn't sure that anything could make him give it up, now.

Describe their friend group as a whole: some of Jason's friends are from childhood, his teen years, people he has reconnected with since coming back to Merrock. others are people that he has just met for the first time. there really is no description for them, since... they're all different in their own way.

Is there anything that stands out in their family’s history?: the Browning family was one of the founding families in Merrock, which is something that was drilled into Jason from a young age. he does think it's kind of cool, if nothing else. other than that, not really.

Do they have children? What are the circumstances surrounding them?: no children.

Do they want children? Why?: at this point in his life, no. Jason's forty years old and isn't sure that he has the kind of life skills that one needs to raise a child. not to mention the fact that he isn't sure it's the kind of world he would want to raise a child in. he isn't even sure he could handle a dog at the moment.

Do they currently live with anyone?: no.

Do they have pets?: no.

LIFE THINGS

Describe their home: Jason lives in a 1978 Argosy Travel Trailer that he bought after returning from service and worked at restoring on the road. it's been a labor of love, but it feels like home to him. small, it only really has one living area (consisting of a kitchen, small seating area and dinging/sleeping area), but it has everything that he needs to get by.

Are they a minimalist or is their house cluttered?: minimalist, through and through. living in such tight quarters, he feels like he has to be, or else he might be suffocated.

What are their eating habits?: very healthy; he has an incredibly balanced diet, and doesn't eat a ton of sweets or overly processed foods, mostly relying on things that he buys at the farmer's market or grows out of his own garden.

Are they allergic to anything?: nope.

What is the first thing they do in the morning?: even before brushing his teeth and using the bathroom, Jason makes and folds up his bed. it's something that was drilled into him since his military days, and it helps him get motivated to start his day, since he can't get back into bed.

What is the last thing they do at night?: normally, he spends a little bit of time outside, maybe drinking a cup of tea, or reading a book by the firelight. once it gets cold, he does the same, but with a jacket. (or he stays inside.)

What do they do on a Sunday afternoon?: most often, Sundays are one of his days off, so he will do something for himself. visit family, go to the beach, catch up on grocery shopping. occasionally, he does volunteer to work to lead nature hikes, or run a program, though.

What do they do on a Friday night?: head over to Tumbleweed to have a beer, or spend some time at the firehouse, if he's looking for something to do.

Describe their workout routine: while Jace is in very good shape, he doesn't honestly work out much these days. he instead gets his exercise simply by being out and doing things. he does run, at least a few times a week, and takes yoga and pilates classes, which he thinks helps him out in a number of ways.

How good are they at taking care of themselves?: very. not to sound like a sad sac, but since he turned 18 and left town, Jason has only really ever had himself to rely on, which means he's gotten good at taking care of number one.

What kind of car do they drive?: a 2000 green Jeep Grand Cherokee. he isn't super into cars, other than liking the way that they look at car shows.

Do they have any other modes of transportation?: Jason has a mountain bike, but otherwise no. he does drive a ranger truck when he's working at the park.

THE PAST & THE FUTURE

What was your character like as a child?: a mostly good kid, but he could be a little rebellious. he was very protective over Cordelia, and loved to get dirty, often spending time making mud pies and digging out back, which led to his love of gardening, too.

As a teenager?: a little more rebellious. Jason continued his love of getting dirty and playing in the mud, but it was cultivated into playing every sport possible, and also still gardening. he was good at getting his way with a flirtatious smile or wink, and very much so coming into his own. he dated all the cute girls and flirted with some of the cute guys, and felt like he ruled the school. (he didn't, but.)

As a young adult?: young adulthood was tough on Jason. had he not entered the military, he feels like he might have had it even rougher -- instead of becoming trouble, and unhinged, he became disciplined, learned to listen to instruction and, not to sound cliché, be all that he could be. but it also changed him a lot. it made him really realize what life was about. and what fear was like.

What is their earliest memory?: Jason's probably been concussed one too many times to have a cohesive memory the way he should, but... he does very clearly remember holding Cordelia for the first time when his parents came home from the hospital.

What is their best childhood memory?: one time, Jason was allowed to enter a pumpkin that he grew into a contest at Creek Fest, and won a blue ribbon. he was only a pre-teen, and remembers it being the coolest feeling in the world at the time.

What is their worst childhood memory?: absolutely any time that his father told him not to waste his time on things that weren't "important," but actually meant a lot to him.

What did they want to be when they grew up?: he hadn't really thought that far ahead; Jason wasn't honestly one of those people who had a plan, he had just been living to live. and then when he entered the military, he had felt even more lost when it came to what he was supposed to do and why. a part of him thought he would always just be a gentleman farmer.

Did they grow up rich or poor?: the Brownings were pretty well off; maybe not rich, but definitely nor poor. image meant (and still means) a lot to his mother, so there were no expenses spared when it came to looking good, and getting themselves out there. but it wasn't as though they were driving brand new cars at sixteen or taking lavish vacations every summer, either. they were just taken care of pretty well by their parents. back then, anyway.

Did they grow up nurtured or neglected?: the kind of nurtured that doesn't really help a person grow, per se. smothered at times, in an effort to make them 'do good,' and neglected in the sense of not getting to do the things that he wanted to do.

Were they popular growing up?: yes, quite. he had a lot of friends, dated a lot of girls, made out with a few guys, he did well for himself.

What is their greatest achievement?: surviving. Jason's well aware of how many people who fought what he fought didn't survive, and he's proud of himself for getting through that, even if there's always some survivor's guilt in the back of his mind.

What is the worst thing they did to someone they loved?: not returning to Cordelia after his enlistment, and getting her the hell out of Merrock, somewhere where she could be free.

What is the best thing they did to someone they loved?: as much as it pains him to think it, because of what he thinks is the worst thing he's done, also not coming home. he was not in a good head space and is afraid of who he would have been towards the people he loved.

Who had a great influence on them? Who shaped them as a person?: the first park ranger that he worked under out in Yellowstone; they taught him almost everything he needed to know about the job.

What are their plans for the future?: he doesn't have any plans for the future, truth be told. Jason just wants to live in his camper until it's no longer feasible, build himself a little log cabin, grow another prize winning pumpkin, be a good uncle to his niece, and be happy.

What advice would they give their younger self?: don't run away.

What smells remind them of their childhood?: the bottle of cologne that he stole from his father when he wanted to ask his childhood crush out on a date.

When was the last time they were crushed with disappointment?: opening the last postcard from his father and realizing that he was disappointed in him for not reenlisting, and deciding to stay overseas to see things through.

What past act are they most ashamed of?: again, leaving his family without letting them know that he was okay.

Most proud of?: turning his life around. he wouldn't say that he was on a 'dark path' per se, but he knows that he's in a much better place now than he was when he first got out.

Has anyone ever saved their life?: countless times. his brothers in arms always, always had his back.

Have they ever saved someone else’s life?: yes. same as above, there were a lot of times when Jason stepped in to help a solider out.

LOVE & ROMANCE

What is your character’s sexuality?: Jason is bisexual.

Do they believe in love at first sight?: not really, no. Jason isn't sure what he thinks about love; he's never been in it, but he isn't callous or jaded enough to believe that it doesn't exist, either.

Are they in a relationship?: no.

How do they behave in relationships?: it has been a long time since he's been in a relationship. he dated a girl back in his college years, and he was in a situationship with a man for a while, on and off, and he's had a few flings and one night stands, but he hasn't been in enough relationships to really know how he acts. it would probably all depend on the person he's with.

Has your character ever been in love?: no.

Have they ever broken someone’s heart?: no, not to his knowledge, at least not in a romantic way.

Have they ever had their heart broken?: no.

What do they look for in a potential lover or partner?: someone to be his equal, and someone who shares interests. a person who likes to go for long hikes or sit on the beach, who doesn't mind spending more time outdoors than indoors. someone who isn't necessarily looking for the traditional stuff, doesn't mind a good sex life, and is okay with just taking things day at a time.

What are their views on marriage?: at this point, he doesn't necessarily think marriage is for him, but he also is open to changing his mind if the right person came along. no church weddings.

What is their idea of romance?: stargazing. plain and simple. someone that you don't mind sitting alone in the dark with, pointing up to the sky to admire shapes and glistening lights.

What was their first relationship?: he had a girlfriend in high school that he was pretty into for a long time, until they decided to split up because high school was coming to an end for her (she was a year older) and she wanted to get out of Merrock.

What was their last relationship?: probably the aforementioned situationship that was a very loosely defined relationship with a guy that also worked at the park. if it had to be a relationship where he had a 'boyfriend' title, he would have to say college, with his girlfriend at the time, even if that wasn't the most serious relationship.

Best date they’ve ever been on?: a beautiful night on a fire escape with a bartender; they shared a bottle of wine and just talked most of the night, and the next morning, went on a week-long camping trip together, off grid.

Worst date they’ve ever been on?: right after graduation, when he moved back to the park area, his friends tired to convince him to get on a dating app... he reluctantly agreed, and the woman that he matched with spent the entire evening talking about herself and her recent trip to Paris with another man. he went home with the bartender that night.

When did you character last have sex?: oof, it has been a while, admittedly. definitely since before they moved back home.

What sort of sex do they have?: that fully depends on his partner and what they're into. Jason wouldn't say that he is vanilla, by any means, and he does like to have a little fun between the sheets, but he isn't the type of person to re-write the rule book, either. he's happy just making his partner happy.

Grand gestures or the little things?: little things. always.

CONFLICTY GOODNESS

How do they respond to threat or dangerous situations?: he's basically trained to respond to threats and dangerous situations. mostly, he handles it pretty well, but occasionally he does find himself in sticky situations where he wishes he would have had more time to think before reacting.

Are they most likely to fight with their fists or their words?: normally, his words, but if you catch him in the wrong sort of mood, he will definitely fight with fists.

What is your character’s kryptonite/weakness?: Cordelia and Rosalyn.

How do they perceive strangers?: carefully, but Jason tires not to let his past influence his every decision and action. he might approach with caution, but he isn't afraid of making new friends.

Do they have phobias? Of what?: not really a phobia, but loud noises bother him, both from PTSD, and also because he struggles with tinnitus.

What do they love to hate?: nothing? if he hates something, he hates it. he doesn't believe in doing things half way.

What is their weapon of choice in a split second?: he doesn't really believe in weapons. he hasn't touched a gun since the army, unless it's been required for work. he would probably reach for a kitchen knife if he had to.

Where do they go when they’re angry?: out to the creek to sit and meditate, it's the one place that he knows can calm him down, no matter what else he might be feeling.

Are they the strong, silent type, or tend to get emotional when angry?: strong, silent type.

Is there someone they turn to when upset?: although he hasn't been put in a position where he's been upset and needed someone just yet, Jason feels like he would go to Cordelia, or Corrine, someone he's known for a long time who could talk him down.

WORK, SCHOOL, HOBBIES

Describe their current job: Jason is employed full time by the Merrock State Park as a ranger. at the moment, most of his time is spent patrolling the park to look for hands-on things that need done, more so than enforcing any laws. he also runs a number of summer-related programs for the kids of Merrock. he also volunteers with the fire department.

Do they like or dislike their job?: he loves both of his jobs, and can't see himself doing anything else.

What other jobs have they held?: in high school, he worked at the grocery store, bagging groceries, and he did maintenance at state parks out west before going to college; he helped out on a farm during that time, as well.

Highest level of education: bachelor's degree.

Did they attend school?: yes. although it wasn't right after high school, Jason did eventually attend college at Montana State University.

If so, what did they study?: environmental and agricultural studies. he learned a lot about farming and trees.

Describe their hobbies: anything outdoorsy. he loves to hike, bike, run, walk, a multitude of things on a trail. kayaking, horseback riding, playing soccer, building things, camping, and gardening. he draws and plays guitar, as well.

Have they ever turned their hobbies into work?: kind of sort of -- he turned his love of gardening and being outdoors into a job.

What is a hobby they would love to try out?: building models. he likes to build as it is, but wishes that he had the space in his camper to do something like that.

————————— I. INTRO

AGE: 1249 MENTAL AGE: 27 SPECIES: Vampire GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Pansexual ETHNICITY: British & Japanese

—————— I.I Powers & Drawbacks

CORRUPTION: A disorder all vampires fall victim to. It affects the soul and mind. The disorder shows up mostly as intrusive thoughts, which the one affected, will act upon, specifically not realizing the wrongness or immorality of it ——— When a vampire has not drunk blood in a week, they become very agitated. If blood is not consumed on the day the agitation starts, they turn into a reckless shadow form with the only goal of soothing their hunger. It will not stop at any means unless they consume at least a drop of blood. After they return to their normal form, their body is extremely exhausted, even sick. Many vampires pass this way Superhuman agility / reflexes: Ability to react faster than a normal human and to possess greater flexibility and with higher / farther jumping capacity Summoning: Ability to summon beings or objects for assistance. This may range from shadow objects to spirits Superhuman strength: Ability to have a level of strength much higher than normally possible given their proportions Superhuman senses: Ability to see, smell, taste, feel and hear more than a normal human ( most hungry vampires under corruption have the same abilities that are listed. )

METAMORPHOSIS / SHAPESHIFTING: Ability to change one's physical, biological form to mimic the appearance, characteristics or power set of other individuals ——— The individual who they want to shapeshift to must be dead. The second he shapeshifts into an individual, they appear to "live" in his head IMMORTALITY: Ability to live forever and also an inability to age normally ——— Takes an absolute toll on your mental health in many different ways INVULNERABILITY: Ability to be immune to any form of physical damage ——— Takes a long time to regenerate

William spends his days pretending to be someone else. His latest human form, Hansuke Toudou is a model. After his work, he either spends his time with his close friends, mainly Itachi, or prepares himself for his next meal. He has no shame when it comes to killing others, as he is a ruthless vampire after all. He has gotten away with years of his killings because he simply has his ways and connections. He is always three steps ahead.

glad that Jay is around to help me with planning my Please Diagnose Me pitch bc when we ask 'how is this negatively affecting your life' I'm like hm. can't open jars bc my fingers come out of joint. can't have sex without my hip dislocating. it's fairly inconvenient that all shoes make my feet bleed and I can't brush my teeth without tearing up my gums.

and they're like. yes these are all good points you should mention. have you considered that Being In Constant Pain is also an effect it has on your life?

yeah. hadn't thought of that cause it doesn't actually stop me doing things most of the time. but now that you point it out, that is only bc I'm incredibly stubborn and don't take care of myself. so yeah.

they very astutely pointed out that a major part of lifelong disability is that you develop a lot of coping strategies to the point that you kind of don't notice that some things are affecting you bc you've found ways around them that mean you can still do the things you're trying to do. but that doesn't mean that they're not affecting you or that a doctor is not going to want to hear about them.

it's really easy to normalise stuff is the thing. like as per my bio I refer to myself as 'slightly disabled' a lot bc I am still. broadly speaking. capable of doing most things. it's just that it's often painful/exhausting, I need a lot of workarounds, and I can't sustain it long term.

but the thing is that uhhhhhhh that's only """slightly disabled"""" if I assume other people are also struggling with those things but maybe slightly less.

one of the revelatory things about having these conversations is how much I'm finding that many people don't even have a slight manifestation of these issues.

like it doesn't hurt people's hands At All trying to open a stiff jar lid or clap or pick something up at a slightly wrong angle. other people Aren't In Pain unless something's actually wrong. to most people 'my feet hurt after a 10 hr standing shift' doesn't mean 'my feet and legs physically will not take my weight for 48 hours after a 10 hr standing shift'. some people's feet just never bleed at all unless their shoes are WILDLY the wrong size. when most people say 'I'm tired' they mean 'I'm ready to take a break' not 'I feel whole-body sick and it's a painful struggle to string a whole thought together and I will feel unbearably ill if I move or open my eyes.'

like there's a lot of situations where I only register as Problems the things that I legitimately can't work around or ignore. like I started using a cane bc I was uncontrollably falling in the street bc my knees and ankles would just give way without warning. but now I have the cane so I've stopped noticing that - my legs still sometimes abruptly lose integrity but I can catch myself with the stick so I no longer fall (except occasionally when I trip myself up or I'm wearing inappropriately high shoes that make an ankle slippage harder to correct for) so I don't. consider it a thing that greatly affects my life. but like. it is, right? it's a thing I have to account for that other people don't. idk. it's all very interesting.

#red said #disability #also you know. I'm 29 and still just now realising that stuff that's affected me since i was 6 or 7 at most is Actually An Issue #so idk that's also interesting #bc none of this is new #i don't generally notice New Symptoms i notice that Other People Don't Have This Thing #or sometimes i try and do something I've not done much before and go 'huh. that's a problem.'#like i always had trouble with pain and instability in my legs and feet on long cafe shifts #but as a teenager i did 1-2 8hr shifts a week which knackered me but was manageable #and at 21 i tried to hold down a job doing 5 10-12 hr shifts a week and it fucking destroyed me #literally. i would spend all the time i wasn't at work in bed bc i was in so much pain #i missed a bunch of shifts bc i wasn't physically able to walk two streets to work let alone actually do a shift #like i called in stock several times bc the pain was so bad it took me like an hour to get from the kitchen to the bathroom #*sick #and obviously i got fired within a month #but like. that was the first time i registered that this was harder for me to do than other people.#even though I'd had a similar job with similar physical strains for i think 5 years as a Saturday job?#bc it has to get to the intensity that you CAN'T just work through it in order to register as a limitation. at least for me.#bc i naturally just assume that everyone feels some degree of this shitty and they're just hiding it better than me #bc I'm trying to hide it and get on with things! don't want to be a whiner!#so it's only when it gets to the point that no amount of willpower will make it hideable that you notice that nobody else has it at all #bc you will say to someone 'i am experiencing The Suffering very strongly today you know we've all been there haha'#and they'll be like 'what's The Suffering? that sounds like you have a serious medical condition'#and I'm like 'no dude no I'm not explaining it well. you know the Suffering? the Suffering that we all get #as a natural consequence of this everyday task? well I'm being a bit pathetic about it today so i can't move and it hurts to breathe'#and they're like 'no i literally have never heard of the Suffering'#shocked pikachu emoji

I’m not even a bp fan but i’m on kpop twt and it just always bugs me seeing tweets/ppl in general painting this image that J is a social climber and being all misogynistic just bc she dates men that are literally on the same level as her. I completely agree with everything you just said except for the fact that GD was a win for her, yes maybe he introduced her to important figures fashion wise (chanel to be specific) but that was literally it. She was held back during their whole dating time frame, the only time she was publicly seen was with blackpink and even then, L was the one who was pushed the most. Bey started dating Jay Z when she was literally nothing so you cannot compare her situation to the bp girls, yes L doesnt have that big of an impact in fashion either but she still could pull another respective brand on her own without that man (that doesn’t mean shes not using him to get even higher lmao) the same way jisoo pulled cartier (bc of BP’s name). J was just as big & maybe even bigger than GD when they started dating and with his group image being ruined & him being 8 years older than her it affected her career negatively and there’s no way she needed him at that point, i truly believed she only dated him just to live the fantasy of dating your idol.

Bey was already from a popular girl group. She was not nothing. If this was Ashanti I'd agree with you as she was highly pushed by the labels to be aaliyahs replacement but held in there thanks to her own sound.

You must be new cause I've clearly handed bigbangs ass to them and if anything I am now a former fan of theirs and GD was never my bias or idol, in or out of the group. So unless you're speaking in a broad spectrum on the last sentence of "dating your idol" i.e upsetting fangitls everywhere, you're inaccurate and sorely mistaken if this affects me or I personally care about Jiyong like that. He's a fucking twig compared to me in real life, that's someone I could never date even if I was interested and had access to him cause we're so physically and emotionally different.

That is opinion based. You're allowed to feel that way and "truly believe" that but that's asinine and goofy, you know it is. You think this successful girl now woman only dated GD to upset a nation of kids and others for an ego boost? In the real world they vibes, had some things in common and grew close naturally like all couples do, Maybe attraction too. The only person in Korea we know of that literally fucked or dated someone to piss fans off living the "fantasy" is seo hee who messed with top, she said it out of her own mouth.

So we can say what we think but let's not put what we think as facts.

This isn't a comparison it's an analogy and reference point, I stand on what I said and I can compare the two if I want to. If anything bey needed Jay more than Jennie ever needed GD. Also speaking on Jennies "level" is literally subjective cause she scored and was always secured in ways her other female peers older and the same age as her wasn't in other agencies cause she was / under YG. I'd say HyunA in my opinion is objectively more on GDs "level" than Jennie could ever be. Having access and sharing the same space as well as work place as someone with means doesn't make that person on your level. Never forget that truly where truly created, Blackpink, to give why a pretty feminine easily marketable and more youthful girlgroup that he lacked the entire time that could go up against the likes other SM and others. He wanted something completely different from 2NE1 and so anyone in her position would been where she is now had she not made the cut for the line up.

Where would Beyonce ever be today if she didn't have Jay showing her the ropes and turning onto the game of the industry? There is a lot of dirt and stories the average doesn't know or concern themselves about bey and them.

Anyways, the point still remains. There is nothing wrong hypergamy, social climbing ir just dating men at the same ranks as you or in the same circles. That's life. It's to he expected but it's becoming highly apparent that any responses about this is primarily based on favoritism or being interested in Jennie as a fan and liking her. I need to hear this same sentiment you're responding with as if you don't know who Jennie is and only gave passively watched her career - I need something objective.

this is also why kpop is considered a shit hole these days outside of us, the fans who love it and understand it, cause you can't say anything objective or negative about groups like bts or BP without arguments or heavy debates. We had fun here talking about Jennies path in dating and now its turned into a "she's not a gold digger social climber" resistance. It makes me no difference how she lives because I am not Jennie and don't aspire to have a career in entertainment.

As for GD? he is a win just like Jennie was a win for him in many aspects. How you take that is on you. Also this is Tumblr. Kpop twitter is its own separate entity. We're here. Not there. I don't care about what's going on there unless legit dirt is leaked there. So let's not bring kpop twt into this to transfer it into this convo as if me or anyone else here frequents that shit hole in the first place.

At the end of the day it's not serious for any of us and if you're defending Jennie for how many perceive her, you need to take a hard look at why this is in the first place. 7 Years from now she won't matter as much and she's be looked at the way 2ne1 and hopefully wnwd is looked at currently.

Kpop is microwavable and I can name 15 groups that were IT back in the day nobody talks about or cares about anymore cause they aged out and their fans are old & mature now. You won't gain anything from this just like I won't.

Candyce fun facts about her element!

Her Element is Heart, the found power within one to love unconditionally.

Candyce was built for the sole purpose of being a servant companion to a family business.

When she gained her Element, she gained further sentience and realized how badly her "family" treated her. Causing her to run away and become a librarian.

Since she accidentally found her powers, Candyce still experiments with what her abilities can be used for.

So far it was worked as: -Gas to brainwash foes or turn them into romanceable goofs. -A light scent topping on food to calm a person down or again brainwash via lovey-dovey feels. -Heal those who are injured at a faster rate, but not as rapid as an Elemental Master can. -And brings any inanimate object to life that's at least shaped like a creature/human.

Inanimates objects could be from clay figures to steel soldiers, to even skeleton remains. Candyce rarely does skeletons unless it's for her cats.

Bringing inanimate objects to life is her favorite aspect! Her house is laced ceiling to floor with her power and she has 5 different cat skeletons roaming her home.

The cat skeletons were sickly strays she couldn't nurse back to health, so 5 skeletons to 3 live cats aren't that bad.

Her favorite Ninja was Jay until her little heart got snapped in half in S6. Favorite became Kai afterward.

Her powers are more gas-based and act as clouds/smoke bombs. This means someone with a gas-smothering element could easily defeat her.

Could beat her: -Nya (Water, can wash her gas away) -and Zane (Ice, can absorb her gas and melt)

Could maybe beat her: -Kai (Fire, can burn up the gas yet might also make the gas potent via heat) -Cole (Earth, could make a physical barrier but gas could still seep through) -and Pixal (No element, but could use similar methods of throwing water on Candyce to nullify effects)

Could not beat her: -Jay (Lightning, concentrated bolts can only do so much if the gas hasn't immobilized him by then) -and Lloyd (Energy, if anything- he might just amplify the gas' power)

Yes, she is aware of how childish it is to describe her 'love potion' clouds as gas. Even she giggles from time to time.

In battle, she will use her ax to waft her Element around a room and help it spread. The quicker her enemies get affected, the better.

Inside battling is her strong suit, outside is trickier since the wind /weather might nullify her element usefulness.

When people are affected by her power, their eyes will turn a pink shade similar to hers. Most eyes are black, so they turn the most pink. While colored eyes like Zane's or Lloyd's will turn a little pinkish-purple or pinkish-brown respectively.

As long as one doesn't inhale her power, they can be negated of all mental/emotional effects. But the gas could still be dangerous to the outer body as her secondary method of use is by coating wounds with it.

Wounds are treated with her laying a concentrated cloud of her element over a bruise, cut, etc. Based on her feelings, the healing can be strong enough to save lives. It all depends on what she's feeling (positive/negative) and how focused she is.

If her feelings are really bad (negative), her element might outright singe someone's skin.

Those under her 'love spell' will be affected for as long as 3 hours. Effects could fade away quickly if the affected are allowed to express their emotions freely.

Those under the healing effects will be very light-headed (positive) and affectionate to those around them.

Babe - I know you think you’re sounding smart but yo really aren’t. That’s like… not how NDAs work. NDAs are basically ways to protect people from financial losses. Obviously her staff sign them but that’s for like… shit like how she runs the houses and security arrangements and new music and all that shit. She doesn’t make people she fucks sign NDAs because that would be impossible to enforce in a court of law. Like literally NO COURT would uphold an NDA that says “you can’t say we had sex” 😭 it’s just not a thing irl.

Also, use your own logic - if Taylor is making EVERYONE she ever meets sign legally unenforcable NDAs how tf did you decide she’s secretly gay? How would YOU figure that out lmao if she’s literally preventing EVERYONE from knowing?

And this is how it’s a conspiracy babe - like you can’t say “no one knows this ergo I know”. That’s fucking insane.

All of which isn’t t say everyone knows all of Tay Swizzle’s business - she, like every human ever, obviously has secrets. But there’s a difference between “Taylor has secrets” and “every person she meets has to sign an NDA to keep her lesbianism a secret but I’ve figured it out” 💀

I didn't say everyone she meets. NDAs are about trade secrets and people NOT talking about private matters, privvy info, parties, and not saying anything negative. Yes, they are enforceable. Lawsuits, forcing people to pay all attorney fees, etc, and imagine the backlash of you being outed as a snitch especially in entertainment. If people agree to the NDA, it's enforceable unless there is something illegal going on. I've signed them. Sports stars, rockstars, actors ALL have their booty calls sign them because they don't want their business out. Why do you think there aren't more photos posted about parties at Taylors? or when Swifties are invited to listening parties at her place or whatever. Ask anyone who has every worked for her that she still hangs with if they've signed one. They have. And I'm not saying everyone knows about what she does in the bedroom and with whom, but a few do and they aren't talking. From Tom Cruise, to Bey and Jay and Ye, to Beiber, Hargitay, to Trump, to Jake, Harry, and ANYONE with any sort of power, there's an NDA. Joe has signed one too. I would bet a years salary on it. Ask yourself why all of her exes are very careful when they speak. A piece of paper can't stop people from talking but clearly her attorneys have. Just sayin.

I’ve signed them too and I’ve actually consulted a lawyer when I broke one and was told it’s… essentially unenforcable in court. Things like addresses, security arrangements, etc absolutely are enforceable. Things like “don’t post pics” or “don’t say you fucked me” tbh aren’t enforceable. It’s a civil matter and if it goes to court post breaking it babe you’d win.

Taylor has explicitly said she’s anti NDA and this is backed up by her refusing to sign the Scooter one (which would’ve been enforceable because it was about formal negotiations). That doesn’t mean her staff don’t sign them - obviously they do - but I would be willing to bet her friends or party attendees haven’t tbh. There are a lot of other ways to ensure shit doesn’t get out including just… being in a position of power and being able to blacklist the person in future, which imo is what she does. If people are running around running their mouths she’s gonna fucking tell people that person sucks and can affect their career, social lives, etc. She’s not gonna get caught up in taking people to court. Like it would actually harm her more than help her tbh.

People have talked and do talk about her dude. There’s just… not that much super interesting to say imo and not because she’s got them locked in (what would amount to legally unenforcable) NDAs.

Whether the pictures are ones Jaebeom took himself, images of other people’s art, or straight up screenshots of pornhub videos, they’re in his own private space, he’s an adult, and there’s nothing wrong with them.

It’s possible he wasn’t even in his own space at all and it was someone else’s walls (which is what people are now claiming). It looks like his lighting though, and his style of hanging up pictures (regardless of content), so I honestly can’t say at this point.

It’s unfortunate that the focus has been shifted (by both fans and non-fans alike) from his solo debut to this. Thankfully he’s with Jay Park now and won’t need to address the situation unless he wants to, and won’t be reprimanded for it. He’s out of kpop thank god, and I just hope at the very least he won’t feel the need to apologize for anything if he does catch wind of what people have been saying. Because people have now made it A Thing.

I want him to focus on his debut and his new track and this HUGE step in his career. He’s already nervous enough, I just don’t want this to affect him negatively. But you know what, the fact of the matter is, Jaebeom knew those pics were on the wall behind him. Regardless of whose walls or whose pics they are, he clearly wasn’t concerned about them being seen accidentally. It’s just...a non issue. I hope he laughs it all off.

Head Cannon: Kai is terrible with isolation from the others. Without someone to take care of/be an idiot with, he slides into a bunch of self-destructive behaviors.

Do you want an essay? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW YOU GET AN ESSAY!!!

Kai's abandonment issues play a huge, yet subtle role in his character arch in the first series, which is heavily influenced by Nya's character arch and influences Lloyd's and AAAAAHHH! That's something I love about the show! Nothing happens in a vacuum and all the character growth effects the other characters for better and for worse, and now I'm on a different rant.

So Kai's near earliest memory is his parents disappearing. Unlike Nya, he remembers them. He knows something got taken away, were as Nya has only ever really known the empty space they left. So this has had much different effects on them growing up.

Kai immediately latched onto his little sister as his only family left and was terrified she could dissapear as well, so he devoted his entire self to making sure he had her and she was ok.

Nya, already a naturally independent girl suffered under this arrangement, but felt no right to resist it since she knew WHY Kai was smothering her. If he wasn't doing something to make sure she was ok, he'd start to spiral into fear that he wasn't doing enough to keep her safe and around and that he'd be all alone. Nya couldn't bare to put Kai through that kind of anguish, so she tolerated a lot of fussing from him. This is also why she had such a strong negative reaction to even the act of being concerned for her safety, she took too much worry and fretting from Kai to take it from anybody else. Which contributed to her and Jay's break up, she was insisting on far too much space and independence from a relationship, while Jay had the opposite problem and needed to learn how to be ok on his own before he could hope to share himself with anyone. But now we're on a different rant again (You see what I mean by all the character growth affecting other characters?)

So Kai has spent his entire life devoting himself to keeping his family (sister) safe. He even became a ninja for this reason specifically. After becoming a ninja he gets something he's never had, friends and a support system outside of Nya. It's good for him and he goes through some significant growth.

Nya meanwhile has he first taste of freedom from Kai's constant worry and thrives. She wants to push it, and herself, even further and Samurai X is born.

Kai finds out after Nya has proved herself as not only capable of protecting herself, but being able to turn the tables and save him and the other ninja. He couldn't be prouder of her, but this doesn't do good things for Kai.

Kai had devoted his whole life to protecting Nya, who has proven she doesn't need him.

Now what?

This sends Kai into a crisis of identity. He hasn't spent any time in his entire life considering what and who he was besides Nya's brother. Now that he very suddenly has to face himself without that purpose, he panics. He throws himself into the idea of being the green ninja because it seems like the only option. He was Nya's brother, and a ninja. If his purpose isn't being the best brother to Nya, then it must be to be the best ninja, I.E. the green ninja.

Kai puts far too much emotional baggage into this idea since he feels like it's his only option. If this isn't it, then he's got nothing left, so it has to be this.

Except it's not working. The other ninja, not realizing that Kai is acting out in desperation and self doubt and not just being an egotist, don't help his sense of self worth by teasing him. The idea of Nya being the green ninja instead of him sends him into a ridiculous panic because it would be the complete removal of every he's ever seen himself as (Not to mention, there is some undealt with silver medals complex there that I think Kai has stubbornly refused to even touch because Nya was all he had and he couldn't cope with having any negative feelings about her)

By the time they get to the volcano, Kai is an emotional disaster. He's done everything he could think up and nothing has worked. Not only is he not being the "best" ninja, from his perspective he's now the worst. So he decides he would rather die in that volcano than face yet another failure. In response to Jay telling him it's "not worth his life" Kai doesn't actually address that. He answers that he's not leaving unless he succeeds. Kai almost acknowledges that he's likely going to die and he'd prefer that.

Kai's self destruction pity party into the afterlife gets crashed by someone that was not supposed to be there. Lloyd.

Now Kai isn't thinking about how it's death or failure, because there's a new mission to fail or succeed at: Saving Lloyd.

Lloyd, a terrified child who has family waiting for him on the outside, who looks like he already knows Kai won't choose to save him.

Kai can't fail at BOTH missions and die. He has to save Lloyd. That's when he realizes his new purpose. It's the same thing he's always done, protect someone with his entire life, it's just that Nya doesn't need it, but Lloyd does, desperately. Kai realizes he's supposed to protect Lloyd and everything else clicks. That's what the prophecy meant all along. He's Lloyd's guardian, a job he's trained his whole life to do. Now he has something again, and he gets back to a stable state of mind. He's job is to be the best protector to Lloyd.

But stable doesn't mean healthy.

Kai may've ended his destructive desperation, but he still hasn't actually tackled the issue of being his own independent person. Good news is Lloyd is never going to not need him, so Kai will never face the same crisis he did when Nya found her independence, but he still has an emotional crisis when he can't be there for Lloyd. Notice how he gets more and more unhinged the longer he goes when Lloyd's away and in danger. He reverts right back to that abandoned boy that's so desperately clinging onto what he has left.

I believe the others learn pretty quick that when Kai starts acting out and showing off, it's usually because he feels inadequate and is seeking validation, and that taunting him when he gets like that will make it worse.

Basically. Yes. If Kai doesn't have somebody else to focus on, he is forced to face himself as an individual and he has never really figured out how to do that without having a breakdown. So he needs constant supervision to keep from falling into another self destructive cycle.

This is why Kai is banned from solo missions. It's never been said outloud, and he hasn't been told this, but it's a rule they all follow.

Hiii!!! I'm here for that regular bnha matchup👉🏿👈🏿 I really love the hq one u did omg!! It's *chef's kiss* kekdjdjdkdhd!!!! Here's the info:

Appearance: I'm fem, black, 5'1, slightly athletic & curvy-ish figure (lol), short? (mid-neck) hair, straight, dark brown eyes, size 9 shoe size (I still dk if it's relevant but oh well lmao)

Personality stuff: infp-t, Hufflepuff, Taurus sun, scorpio moon, sanguine, chaotic good, ambivert, a BuzzFeed quiz told me I'm a Pinto bean and a pumpkin spice mocha (do what you will with that info jdskdj)

Positive traits/qualities:

I'm super enthusiastic!! I love hyping people up and being energetic in general! I'm always down to try new things and have fun! If anyone is not feeling appreciated I'm ready to make sure they know that they're a queen/king and they're amazing!!!

I'm optimistic! I like to look at the brighter side of things and I always try my best to find a silver lining in any situation! Positive thinking helps me get through tough spots in my life because there's always hope for something better in the future!!

I'm observant!! I usually like to sit quietly and observe my surroundings. Especially in a new environment. Irl I like to read people's body language to asses their mood so ik how to approach them lol. I also do little things like remembering what they (friends/family) like to order at restaurants or something they pointed out at random that they liked. (Idk if I'm making sense lol)

Negative traits/flaws:

I'm annoying. Sometimes I just like being a little shit and cause mischief (being the youngest child does that to a person) but I think sometimes I'm too enthusiastic/energetic that it can be seen as obnoxious/annoying so I usually try and tone it down so I don't bother people...

I'm argumentative. When I have something to say I have to speak up. I try not to step on any toes but I can't help but argue with someone when our views on something clash. I like hearing different sides of debates though so I always give others a chance to talk. I don't go picking fights but if I feel like my opinion is being disregarded/not heard I will argue until it's known!!

I'm forgetful. Sure I'll remember random stuff like 'what my friend said in that one coffee shop last year' but important things like appointments? Birthdays? Assignment due dates? Idk her 😭 I try my best to write anything important down cause my memory is a selective sieve and it'll keep the most useless/random shit.

Hobbies: I love: Reading, writing, listening to music, learning languages, playing saxophone (I'm still learning tho lol), swimming, watching anime and cooking!

Music taste: any type of rock (punk rock, grunge, j-rock, metal), pop, kpop, RnB, jazz, dubstep, lofi hip hop, rap, bangers from: Elvis, the beach boys, Khalid, Ateez, Kendrick Lamar, p!atd, mcr, fallout boy, Nirvana, BTS, mxmtoon, Marianas trench, twenty one pilots, stray kids, Jay Park, crush, Dreamcatcher, Skrillex, MJ, troye sivan etc

Traits I look for: idk kind, funny/fun, loving/lovable, loyal (idk I ain't picky)

Traits I don't like: (nobody's perfect, just don't be a racist, xenophobic, sexist asshole lol)

More fun facts:

My love language is touch! I live for hand holding, cuddling, hugging, tickle fights and more!! 🥺

I love learning new stuff and rn I'm learning how to draw, paint, play music on sax, a new language and new recipes! :3

I love traveling!! It doesn't even have to be too far, as long as I don't know where I am it's an adventure! I usually end up getting lost whenever I travel (rip) but it's fun finding your way around and makes the trip more exciting!!

My current aesthetic: Sunflowers, striped turtle necks, warm blankets, rainbows that come out after storms, friendship bracelets, watching movies cuddled up w/someone, the joy of being alive. <3

It's mostly the same lol I just added a little something at the end :D Can't wait to see who I'll get! Don't forget to stay healthy & drink lots of water!! Take care 💙✨

I’m matching you up with Tokage! (You didn’t specify your gender preferences I hope this is alright ;-;)

You guys. I can’t even decide where to begin. The ENERGY- oh my god, you’re so enthusiastic, she’s so enthusiastic?? And you also recharge each other’s batteries so it’s a never ending stream of optimism and cheers!! People can’t believe the two of you are together but then again they watch you two go and they wonder how you two COULDN’T be a couple.

And her?? Thinking YOURE annoying? Fucking never. She’s the same as you to an extent and we KNOW she wouldn’t doubt your affection for her, but for the love of god if it does bother you, talk to her. She’ll have you thinking differently in NO TIME. this girl uses her words and she uses them well. And the two of you ARGUE. but it’s mostly fun arguing, Tokage isn’t the type to be so cocky as to not admit when she’s wrong; she’ll fight for her point if she knows it’s valid. Otherwise, if YOUR point becomes the only valid one, she’s giving it to you. She wouldn’t want to lose you over some stupid pride thing.

Oh my god, she’s 100% the type of person who’ll go “hey remember like two years ago when...” and theN MENTION SOMETHING STUPID OR EMBARRASSING YOU DID THAT YOU COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT

Tokage loves physical affection, both giving and receiving. She’s just so proud to call you hers?? Let her hold your hand and watch her always call dibs on you during training (Vlad never lets the class choose their partners anymore because of you two lol). She’ll tone down the PDA if you’re uncomfortable or if others warn her that they don’t like it, but otherwise?? She’s always by your side unless you need some space.

My god the two of you just have SUCH a fun relationship!! It’s never dull or boring, trust me.

Songs!!!

- my boy, Billie Eilish

- Feel It Still, Portugal. The Man

- butterfly addiction, Cö shu Nie

- Let’s Spend the Night Together, David Bowie
