Crow!
I have a question...questions? Request? Maybe a little bit of both...?
I am a (relative) newcomer to the fandom, I've been hyper-focused on Ghost for the last year and my heart's completely, irreparably and quite blissfully gone on all of the Era IV Ghouls (Phantom and Aurora included), but, in particular, on our beloved Earth Ghoul Mountain (Mmmmmountain...💕)
HOWEVER, recently, I've begun trying to learn more about the previous era's Ghouls, and although I already have a growing appreciation for Omega, there's another that I find myself circling back to again and again and again...
...Zephyr.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a distressingly small amount of information on him in terms of HC's and fandom lore which really does make it harder to get a feel for his character and personality, so, I was wondering if you could help with that.
How do you see him in your head?
What is he like?
Who is he to you?
Please help me add a tenth Ghoul to the nine I already love...
hi, welcome!
ive got lots of headcanons about them so i'd love to go through some of those for you. i'll drop some great zephyr photos first and then we'll continue under the cut :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
firstly, i cant tell you where the name zephyr originated. maybe fanfiction or other fan circles. zephyr is more commonly known as "chAir", because they were almost always sitting down to play. sort of like cowbell is named after the instrument he appeared for two seconds to play lmao
you'll notice i use they/them pronouns for zeph. thats something i picked up from @gayrickgrimes when i first started interacting more with ghost fanfic. but lots of people also use he/him. not sure why nonbinary zeph has really stuck with me since then, but i quite enjoy it!
i would say the most commonly shared headcanons about zephyr are as follows:
older in age, like omega or alpha often are portrayed
has chronic back and/or joint pain (there's lots of clips of them walking off stage holding their back, thus the headcanon)
has light or white hair, commonly portrayed as longish and wavy.
reserved. maybe a little "old mannish" at times. less spontaneous than other ghouls.
however! they like groovin' on stage. can be seen doing some wiggles during their keytar solo or jamming out on their stool.
some artistic portrayals i love are @endopyre's, @turbodrawn's, and @kamonart's :3 also for a portrayal that doesnt necessarily fit those 'common' appearance hc's above is @joeynihil's zeph, whom i LOVEEE.
i also love @divine-misfortune's depictions of them, but i have indeed given void the zephyr brainrot soooo....oopsies sorry not sorry.
so, now onto the things i specifically headcanon about zephyr. i dont know if youve read any of my ficlets with them yet, but i do have a few! generally, i hc pretty similar to the above bullet points. some other thoughts i have are as follows:
i think zeph has a more antiquated way of speaking. doesnt use a lot of slang or 'modern' words. is very precise, refined in the way that they speak.
very amicable with and well-loved by their pack (aether, ifrit, dew, mountain).
has an 'air' about them, if you will (pardon the pun haha). some may say its too much like they're looking down their nose at you, but i think they're clever, smooth, and teasing in equal measure. has a way with words, in more ways than one.
they really do like to have fun on stage, and i think they like to 'let loose' a little bit that way. that ghoul can groove and move when they want to! and i do enjoy watching ritual footage of them, would recommend <3
not sure if you're interested in unglamoured hc's, but i think they turn very gangly, resembling something like a vulture or other long-legged birds. taloned feet and hands. hocked legs. feathers sticking out behind their ears and tattered, crooked wings. bright eyes that glow in the dark and can see for miles. razor sharp teeth. literally terrifying if you catch them peering at you from high in the trees.
likes when the others offer to help with their back pains. ifrit with his warm hands. aether with his quintessence. maybe mountain with weed or dew taking them to the lake to take some weight of their joints. always very kind, thankful in return.
i think the abbey has a chapel with an organ that zeph likes to play. i think that's what they learned on originally, and transferred that knowledge to the keyboard. when they retired from the band they still enjoyed playing for midnight mass or special occasions.
lastly, i think zeph is a quiet dom. very controlled of a ghoul in normal situations, but very good at controlling and directing others. has a silver tongue and can absolutely take mountain down to studs with just words. i have many feelings about mountzeph in general, and how their dynamic works, which ive explored a little bit. but in general, i think zeph likes to have that control, either because they have pain that doesnt allow them the freedom to explore certain pleasures, and/or because thats what they like. its natural and fun for them. and its certainly fun for everyone else involved lmao. i just think of them as a very elegant ghoul in all aspects of their life.
all in all, im very fond of zephyr as a character, at least how i see them in my head and how i've seen them portrayed by others thus far! hopefully that can serve as some inspiration for you in 'getting to know' this air ghoul :3

saw ppl call kavehs animation ugly and boring on one side, the others finding them great on the other so here i go explain why i like them and find them fitting for his character bc i like kaveh a normal amount ✌
its prob the same thing with zhongli enjoyers legit getting mad hes shown as a "friendly gentle grandpa" in the game bc it doesnt fit their hcs (trust me, i saw ppl on twt being all upset bc hes the opposite of their violent egoist zhongli hc) i feel like some people really hold onto their hcs and beliefs of a character they think of them as true and canon and get super annoyed or mad when it gets disproven (which i dont understand really)
anyway, most ppl hate kavehs animations bc they were hoping to see him wield the claymore and show hes stronger and buffer than al haitham. ppl ofc are free to think of kaveh however they want; if they want him more muscled or tall or lifting the claymore then thats all fine, i literally dont care. i just wanna ramble about how i think his animation is actually not as boring and ugly as they call it, but pretty fitting for his character :]
first of all that "silly briefcase" he holds onto is actually a lil robot friend called mehrak and it does the attacks for him. kaveh controls mehrak and how and where the attack strikes. it keeps him free and nimble and i already yelled about how beautiful his animation look bc!!! they are
his movement is very clean and measured, not a single step out of it. at the same time its very artsy, the little jump he does, how he keeps a certain rhythm and how he goes with his knees (i cant find the proper english words to describe what i wanna say in my language) - its all very similar to a dance. hes so light and graceful on his feet
kaveh is an architect; he was a ksharewar student, the school of technology and theory, and he appreciates and pursuits aesthetics and arts. he is both creative and logical; its why he can keep up with al haitham (who was at haravatat btw, meaning he studied linguistics/semiotics. they really are opposites yet matching in any sense huh)
after all architecture is pretty much mathemical form of art and you can see that so clearly in the swings the claymore does: it looks like a ruler or divider for geometrical/technical drawing (architect kaveh) and its especially gorgeous after his burst, showing pretty flowery patterns (kaveh pursuing aesthetics)
(↑from here)
so seeing his animations as a mix of measured steps and dancelike movement and all the shapes of his swings, i think it fits him as this creative, logical person perfectly. sm thought put into it
anw, this is what i thought when i saw his animations, so im a bit confused some ppl seem to hate it just bc hes not whacking people with a claymore violently and show muscle. i think this fits him perfectly (altho it would have been so funny if he would have wielded the claymore with his slender body type akjcbjk)
btw im not judging or talking bad about anyone tho, no matter if they like kavehs animations or not. just wanted to show theres thought put into it to make it match kaveh as the person he is :]
kavetham view (no matter if you like seeing them romantic or platonic): it also adds more to the sun and moon boyfriends opposites with similar traits complementing each other thing with al haitham (theres a ton between them but thats an essay for another time if u want) → kavehs measured, clean movements vs haithams violent, kinda feral movements 🙏

i am going to kill everyone in this house and then myself HOLY FUCK
everytime im like 'yeah okay maybe bro 1 isnt THAT awful and we can have a single discussion that's not about anime without fighting' he pulls this shit
bro3, a young teen, asks a question about the new(ish) vacant house tax in the city, aiming to help pop the godawful housing bubble. IMMEDIATELY bro1 goes on a fuckin screaming rant about how the govt is evil and taxes are evil and literally quotes the ron swanson parks and rec sandwich bit yes the one DELIBERATELY EXAGGERATED AND SIMPLIFIED FOR COMEDY
and i, try, calmly to ask how he would like to fix things instead. he brings up a bunch of republican & libertatian states as 'havens' from tax. i ask how he would like public services to be funded. he replies that he doesn't want them funded. i ask why then he uses public services. he insists he doesnt, and 'as long as i have a job in the states i have healthcare'. ok. putting aside the obvious issues with workplace-tied insurance (which canada is not free from!! our health system is ALSO a shitshow. it is just MILDLY less so in some respects.) I ask about public infrastructure that he cannot avoid using, like ROADS. he yells and genuinely has a FIT. YELLING. like the apathetic guy who does not ever have emotions is fuckin YELLING at me about taxes. this man clearly has way too much fucking time online.
and THEN, i bring up the 'idk how to tell you we should care about other people' wrt public services that serve a greater good but that he might not necessarily use directly (education, libraries, childcare, senior care, social assistance, etc). and he straight up 'i dont care about other people. i dont care about strangers'. and bro 3 AGREES WITH HIM. this tiny baby child who i have practically raised as my own kid half the time and have tried SO HARD to impart a measure of kindness in this godawful house. agrees with him
and bro1 finishes it off with 'if someone has a second house, they deserve it' as if i didnt just finish explaining about social services and how rich people 99% of the time acquire wealth unethically and at the expense of the poor and how the wealth gap is only increasing and how yeah sure in an ideal world everyone would give freely, but as he literally just finished explaining to me while complaining about 'the liberals', people are corrupt and selfish, and so instituting things with widespread tax funded programs is going to help a lot more people than just oh let's hope these instinctively selfish rich people acquiring money thru unethical means take pity on the poors this year. like. we KNOW that doesnt work. my solution isn't perfect by any means but it passes on the slim margin of being NOT AS BAD AS IT CURRENTLY IS
i genuinely do NOT understand how anyone has so little disregard for the concept of a greater good, of societal health, of caring for people NOT yourself. how can he be SO selfish and yet still enjoy, and DEMAND, so much of the luxuries he enjoys in a developed country which historically and at present has profited off of various forms of exploitation!!! like!! bitch!!!!
not to be like im glad his 4yr relationship ended bc his gf deserves way better (for various reasons, not just his shitty politics, but this is pretty emblematic of his personality at large) + his friends are all shitty and terrible people and hes lowkey abusing alcohol and weed bc of them + he needs to get offline and go to a monastery for his health. but like. i AM saying that.

Enhypen as Taylor Swift Songs...
So @anotherimaginesaccount did something similar and gave a wonderful shoutout to my smau You Belong With Me. And so I have given myself this challenge. Let's go 😊.
Done this on my phone so no word count 😂, I'll get round to putting this through word and grammarly at some point.
Lee Heeseung as Begin Again from Red.
Hear me out on this. So begin again is all about starting again with someone new right.
This fits to Heeseung cause he had to watch TXT, ppl he trained with debut and then started again with i-land, that to with the chance that he still might not debut thru this survival show.
Literally he's had to begin again but finding the members became the people he believed he could begin again with.
Not just that, in the song there's a big emphasis on Blondies previous partner *cough Jake gynaecologist cough* being the worst and how this new person is the opposite.
To me Heeseung is the new person to each member.
He was the legendary trainee but he showed everyone thru the show how much of a wonderful guy he was.
His dynamics with each member is just so sweet and heartwarming. He's everyone's safe space and I love that for him 😭😭😭.
He's just amazing and Begin Again fits so well fight me on this.
Tumblr media
I refuse to believe that someone hasn't had a crush on Jay atleast once.
Park Jay as gold rush from evermore:
He just has that look about him. The high school crush, everyone's friend. The happy guy in class.
But only those closest know him well and that's the members.
He's the mood maker of the group and he really does that so well.
Not just that but he's out here being the one to make sure all his 6 children are fed. (Jay in so so fun comparing himself to his mother who only had to deal with him while he's a mother to 6 kids 😂😂😂)
The lyric everybody wants you is Jay. Fight me on that.
His love for the member is so pure and true, they really are his family and it shows in how he treats them.
Literally all us engenes are the line everybody wonders what it would be like to love you 😭😭.
Tumblr media
He's literally the thing that brings us out of our sadness.
Sim Jake as Enchanted from Speak Now:
You can't not just smile looking at Jake.
We're all wishing he isn't in love with someone else 😂😭.
Like Heeseung he has different dynamics with each member.
He literally plays with Niki and tries to make sure Niki doesn't miss out on his childhood. He's such a good person I can't.
Seeing Jake interact with members and fans is so heartwarming.
He's just a bright light in the group and deserves so much more love.
The embodiment of it was enchanting to meet you.
Man is boyfriend material to the T.
Tumblr media
Park Sunghoon as Our Song from Taylor Swift:
He is out here making sure that the members are taking care of themselves and just being a sweetheart.
He seems like he doesnt care but he's just shy and those visuals are out of the world obviously.
I definitely feel like he would be doing everything to take care of the things he cares for.
The loudest introvert ever but that's just another one of his many sides.
Definitely think he would be the one to call a significant other baby 😂. Don't ask why cause honestly I don't know.
He gives off first love vibes and that's literally our song.
Being so in love that you don't think any song out there can measure up to your feelings.
That's how I think he feels about the members, he teases and messes with them but that's just his way of showing them he cares and loves them.
And now I want to write a first love Sunghoon fic... Great 😂😭.
The lyric the best people in life are free. That sums up Sunoo.
Tumblr media
Kim Sunoo as New Romantics from 1989:
He is sassy and carefree, he does what he wants and doesn't care about others opinions. As he should.
I didn't even have to think about this one. That lyric just sums up Sunoo so well I can't even explain it 😂.
No matter what happens, he never gives up.
He's always smiling and he's unapologetic in what he likes which is such a breath of fresh air.
He doesn't let anything define him, he's always surprising everyone.
Sure he's known for being the cute one but that's just one side and I can't wait to see more sides of Sunoo as he grows and evolves as an idol.
He's got a lot of responsibility on his shoulders but he handles it so well.
Tumblr media
Yang Jungwon as Delicate from reputation:
He knows his hyungs and engenes are there for him but it's still all about finding that balance.
He's made his mark as the youngest leader of a group and enha themselves have a building reputation in the industry.
He knows how important keeping up the reputation for the group is but he's out here being himself.
Loving the members, taking care of them and being taken cared of by them.
He's delicate in the sense that he has so much to learn and he's already making us all so proud of him.
But the members are here for when he needs a break, when it all gets too much.
The media and gp wouldn't wait a second to turn on the group and he knows it's a delicate line of being loved rn but then being torn down just as viciously.
But he knows that no matter how delicate the situation is, he's got the members and engenes on his side.
He is who he is and doesn't care what others think of him.
Tumblr media
Nishimura Niki as ME! from Lover:
He's already got the accolades of being one of the best 4th gen dancers or atleast he could get to that level.
He may be the maknae but he has shown so much maturity and growth in only the last 2 years of the group.
The lyric Troubles gonna follow where I go is literally a description of Niki 😂.
For being a teenager, he is savage and still hilarious but that doesn't stop him from overanalyzing and being critical of himself.
In those moments the members are there to let him know it's okay to make mistakes. They all still love him. The fandom still loves him.
The staff and members let him do whatever he wants and that is how it should be.
Though he acts like a troll, he cares in the most basic ways and goes out of his way to show his love for the members.
His dynamics with the members vary but they all love him so much and he loves them just as much.
His self confidence is through the roof as it should be and he deserves the praise he gets.
Hed be the type to fight but then immediately make up cause he doesn't want anyone angry at him or to be angry at anyone himself.
Tagging the permanent taglist cause I did this for fun but I am kinda proud of it (took a day or 2 but I did tag y'all eventually 😂) so would love to know any differing opinions or just thoughts on this please 🥺.
Tumblr media
And that's it. Thoughts and opinions if anyone has any.
Permanent Taglist: @doodlewon @chirokookie @yjwnoot @clar-iii @centheodd @prdxinvade @hiqhkey @junnniiieee07 @love-4-keum @acciomylove @sproutswonies @youkwim @kpoplover718

Was thinking about @shapeshiftersinc 's binders and wanted to review them on here :D
Im gonna be fully honest because. Why the hell would i lie???
Overview-
They are a great binder company. I fully reccomend buying from them- they have the best chest binders ive been able to find and are extremely inclusive and helpful. If you have the money to get one and are worrying it wont be worth it. Trust me. It is.
Pros-
Extremely comfortable.
I mean it. I have sensory issues- other binders ive had have been way too itchy and uncomfortable for me to wear regularly. Id always have issues with the tags- even after i cut them out, it always bothers me.
Shapeshifters have been WAY better. I dont know if it's the materials, the construction, or what but they are wonderful to wear. Ive had the occasional issue with the tag, but its small and pretty ignorable. Plus, I'm about 90% sure you could ask them to just not add it to avoid it entirely. Ive had no issues with scratchiness. Their mesh is breathable, not itchy, and stretchy :D half the time i can completely forget that im even wearing a binder, which says a LOT.
Fit & Bind-
Shapeshifters. Amazing once again. Theyre custom sized to your measurements, which avoids unnecessary tightness in the ribs, gaping at the top, or inconsistent/nonexistent binding. Im a 38DD-40DDD depending on brand, and literally no other binders have had anywhere near this level of bind. Obviously it doesnt get completely flat- but it gets as close as possible. Id say its about the same prominence as laying on your back with no bra- maybe a bit bigger. That being said, thats a HUGE improvement from every other brand ive tried.
Plus, if you have issues with things digging in anywhere or not fitting how you want, they do free alterations. WHICH IS INSANELY HELPFUL BY THE WAY.
Variety-
They have many different patterns and styles and types of binders. It's a lot of different options- undergarments to normal tops, gothic to pastel to flat colors. If youre somewhere hot they have purely mesh binders for extra ventilation, etc.
Plus, if you want a specific pattern you can custom order your own fabric design! Im doing this for my new one and am very excited. (Its the same pattern i have as my banner :>
Customer Service-
Actually wonderful. Eli has been the one talking with me on both of my binders, so i think theyre the main (English) customer service worker! Theyre wonderful and very helpful- straight to the point, speedy, and patient.
I had no clue I needed to upload my pattern to spoonflower and proof it, and they helped me with that even though I could've just. Read the product description 😭
Lots of love to Eli. Also Im so sorry im stupid???? Youre wonderful.
Ease of use-
Im disabled- big shoulder issues. If i angle it the wrong way it dislocates. Bit uncomfy. That being said, most binders are literally painful for me to put on. Especially to take off. It hurts and is a whole mess. However. Shapeshifter's stretchier fabrics make it easier to take on and off. Putting it on is usually completely fine. Taking it off can be an issue. But its way easier than other brands thankfully.
HOWEVER. shapeshifters offers zippers to be built in. Which seems bad because of uneven pressure, but they have stiff inserts in all zipper binders to evenly distribute the bind. When I ordered my 1st binder, i for some reason got the zipper on the side of my bad shoulder?? I usually only use the zipper to take it off, so its fine, but zipping it on is a nightmare. But thats on me because i ordered it stupidly. That being said, zipping it off is actually amazing. If theres any discomfort from the binder, I can just zip it down for a bit. Or i can fully take it off so much easier. 2nd binder from them, i havent ordered the zipper because its not that difficult for me personally to take it off without, but i would recommend it if you need that extra ease!
Durability-
An old binder had tearing stitching after 2 months of semi-regular wear. Bad. My shapeshifter binder ive been wearing up to 5 days a week for up to 8 hours a day. The only signs of wear it has is some deodorant stains. Need I say more. It also hasnt stretched at all- it has the same bind and comfort and fit as it did the day I got it.
CAN YOU SEE WHY I LOVE THESE.
CONS NOW!!
Time
They do take a while to be made and arrive. Because theyre custom made by a small team, it takes a couple months to get one. I ordered one in July and got it in August, for example. I personally do not care about this one because it is such a high quality binder.
Price
Once again, small team making high quality custom products. It gets pricey. My first one was $116 including shipping, taxes, etc. Its important to note that i got a zipper (+$20) and a lot of customization options not everyone will need or want! Once again, i think its worth it as it will probably last me a WHILE. Also they gotta pay their team fairly. WE LOVE PAYING PEOPLE LIVABLE WAGES!
Overall, I do reccomend. In fact I've gotten a friend to get themselves one aswell lmao
Theyre actually an amazing team and i wish them lots of love, appreciation, and success!! Cant wait to get my new binder >:D

sometimes I just reach a point thinking about cats where really all I want to do is proclaim to the world how much I wholly sincerely love and appreciate all cats... like idk why I just get the overwhelming impulse like “I have to tell someone.... someone hAS to know this... this is SO important.. HO W cAN i further express my admiration for cats... what street corner can i loudly scream about this on??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”,, if I ever reach a state where i loose the function of my impulse control I’m going to start calling random relatives weekly just to remind them like ‘hey, it’s me again.. EXTREMELY important news... I just, need you to know that, I love cats... I love them so gourd damned much’
#i've had people ask me to do  a room tour before which I mostly havent done just because i keep forgetting about it but#if I ever do.... You Will See#i don't have as much cat themed stuff as i would like since im a low income bniche and i can never afford a bunch of random#decor and etc. but ... everything i can find cheaply at thrift stores that has cats on it i have aqcuired#i literally dont have any band posters or tv posters or actually framed artwork on my walls legit the only decor on them are#pictures of cats that i tore out of old cat themed calendars or hand me down issues of cat fancy magazine lmao#godD IF I HAD MONEy i would have... cat themed blankets and everything#i mean i have other aesthetics to uphold since i do love pastels and winter themed things and shiny stuff and fantasy whimsy#stuff so i also have christmas tree decorations and lights and evrything and most of my bed sheets are winter themed#since you can actually find those cheaply in stores (THEY NEVER HAVE CAT BLANKETS!!!!!!! like they have so many of#those like $10 cheap throw blankets for all the different seasons and in different patterns but never Cat ones... Why)#and i dont have money for nice furniture or organizational stuff so my room isn't like Nice or Cohesive by any measure and doesnt#have as much of theme since it's just random colored hand me down furniture with a lot of clutter on top of it and some#holiday lights thrown on top but... still ... I think i have put forth my best effort in that cats are.. at least a vaguely recognizable#theme...like... not as porminent as i'd like since in an ideal world I would legit have like a custom cat chaped bookshelf and etc etc#but like... when you walk into the room you may at least notice like 'wow thats.... like... a lot of cats to some degree'#i think my room is the most prominent but also my backpack has multiple cat themed things one it#I WOULD IF I COULD... if i could find some nice cat print clothing... like comfortable and well fitting and in colors i actually like#to wear i would absolutely wear exclusively that lmao.. its just really hard to find..#anyway i just... cats are so perfect sometimes i am overwhelmed#like i'll be looking up reference pictures of cats and stuff and  after seeing so mamy of them its just like !!!! HOLY SHIT I LOVE THESE!!!#LOOK AT THESE!!!!!! LOOK AT ALL OF THEM!!!!! OHMY GOD!!!! ALL OF THEM LOOK AT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS!!! DO THEY KNOW??!!! DOES EVERYONE KNOW HOW GREAT THESE THINGS ARE!!!!!#LOOK AT THEM!!!!!#if i live long enough and the world doesn't collapse on itself and if im in okay health and ever able to go into retirement i'll spend#my free time as an old person standing on a street corner with a picture of a cat and stopping people to say 'HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS??#*wildly gestures to the photo* HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE OF THESE???god ARENT THEY JUST NEAT!!? spread the word!!!'

danny phantom episode 4-7 Thoughts: (under a readmore because, these got kinda long!)
-the outfit danny had to buy for dash's party. CLASSIC 2000S i cannot stop laughing. And also showing up to the party and everyone is dressed like the trio is hilarious. and further proof that everyone looks good dressed goth.
-dash has a closet full of cute lil bear plushies?? LOVE that. adorable. also his response to danny trashing his room fighting a ghost was SO valid if somone BROKE MY BED IN HALF ID BE PISSED TOO.
-technus being like 'oh smart, u should be a tutor!' then later being like 'forget tutor, be a teacher!' :) supportive king <3 I also really like his upgraded suit/design. AND SPOCK CAMEO??? HELLO??
-the music in this show is super. its so funky. I looked it up and the guy who does it, guy moon (awesome name) also did music for other cartoons like fairly odd parents, barnyard, chalkzone, billy & mandy, AND some actual movies like FIGHT CLUB??? the whiplash I got from reading that)
-sam being rich explains a lot about her, actually.
-I know the moral of the episode was supposed to be 'dont ditch your friends for popular people/spend a lot of money on clothes that arent You to Fit In'. but tbh. it wouldve been easy for danny to have been like 'well, okay, ill come but only if my friends can!' but I get. that hes 14. so. not a lot to say there.
-BOX GHOST IS BACK!!!!! also, danny sitting up and wearing the dress/wig/makeup. umm thats how I dress everyday LMFAO. unironically me. (hate the jokes that boil down to 'haha funney man in dress' tho. but this is a look)
Tumblr media
-jazz being protective of her brother once again being like NOOO YOU GUYS BETTER NOT STAKE OUT HIS (actually haunted) LOCKER!! shes aware of how people perceive him and she wants to help :( which is also probably why she told dash to invite him to that party even tho she had no interest in going!! she wants to help him out :(
-gotta say im with tucker on the whole 'should danny use his powers to get back at bullies' debate. 100% yes. let him teach kids to fight back. making dash throw his food at paulina out of the blue? no. but when hes actually about to pick on someone? yeah! for self defense? YEAH! if dash and his friends just threw food at him, I think rather than. idk doing sneaky shit with frogs he couldve just threw it back and not pulled punches if they tried to fight. I kNOOWWW its a kids show so they are like 'if u fight back ur just as bad!! violence bad!!' but. theyre HIS POWERS. WHO CARES.
-like my only gripe is that dash really isnt LEARNING ANYTHING WHEN DANNY GETS BACK AT HIM IN THE MOST PETTY INDIRECT WAYS. whatever they had to add a bully psa episode I guess. I hate it and I hate the way cartoons usually handle it because these methods simply Do Not Work. 'aND YouRE USinG YOur poWErs FOR EVill???!' this is Not Evil. even when poindexter takes dannys body, theyre only being 'nice' bc hes stealing soda for them!! bitches deserve what they get (nothing too brutal bc theyre high schoolers but damn, if they pick on danny he doesnt need to be the 'bigger person' he needs to start biting people)
-SAM TRYING TO SMUGGLE FROGS OUT OF THE BIO LAB?? girl in middle school when we had to dissect frogs we could opt out, also, they came to us already dead and preserved...
-sidney's lingo and the fact hes in black and white is sending me. also, danny is a ghost celebrity apparently for being a halfa?? ok. thats interesting to know
-the DENTIST BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE COTTON CANDY FLOOD IS THE FUNNIEST THING SO FAR.
-I LOOOVE the trope of 'wishes gone wrong'. not crazy about the stereotypical genie, or the use of the dreamcatcher looking design. (also, I KNOW theyre scientists but the way theyre handling a cold...are the fentons ANTIVAX)
-the genie. she. whitewished paulina. JKASDFHKJ. (the ghost literally just being hello kitty???? im dying) 'why do i feel that im special and wonderful? because I AM! <3' paulina ilu self worth queen. felt bad for her also getting possessed by (2) boys later who were arguing INSIDE HER. WTF.
-imagine being the guy trapped in his now flying car. he thought danny and tucker were HALUCINATIONS. imagine being trapped in a flying car with two, what you think are imaginary arguing 14 year olds convinced ur gonna die. i WOULD say this dude is gonna need so much therapy, but he seemed totally fine and excited when they landed (I would be happy too if a chicken was on my head. chickens rule) stoner rights
-sam's bat slippers??? iconic. SO cute.
-I think desiree's backstory is so :( do all ghosts have messed up sad backstories?? poindexter's was sad too...cannot imagine box ghost has any kind of fucked up backstory. but what if. his mom got pushed off cliffs by boxes...........a la cruella... anyway her 'no man may lay a hand on me' iconic. ilu
-I know danny has no concept of how much bras cost but my god dont attack tucker with some girls bra. those are so expensive.
-its really. well its not a GOOD THING he went into the portal and got fucked up, but its good danny was the one to do it rather than sam or tucker. because even tho he was being influenced by desiree and kept getting more malicious and it prob wasnt 100% him...he sucked as a ghost like most the people he 'pranked' were innocent ppl just Chillin and he didnt want to help anyone at all. I think danny is the most responsible out of them but also, hes 14 and shouldnt HAVE to feel obligated to fight every ghost. hes a good kid and wants to, but I also feel like he feels like...responsible for the portal turning on?? because his parents did give it up,, but it was an accident and not his fault (if anything, why was the on switch on the inside. why was it that easy. why was there no safety measures. that seems like smth OSHA needs to hear about). like thats my son. hes a good boy. and hes never done anything wrong in his life, ever. if anyone hurts him im killing everyone in this room and then myself. etc.
-danny's curfew is 10PM????? DUDE. when I was 14...shit I couldn't be out that late, I had to be back at like, 8 at the latest, and my parents had to know exactly where and who I was going with, AND i had to call/text them regularly...is this a case of my parents being overbearing, or the fentons sucking??? the only time i could EVER be out that late was if I was at an overnight sleepover or smth...
-the vultures have lil fezes. why do they have fezes...theyre so fuckin funny 'ask him for directions' 'I KNOW WHERE IM GOING' these ghost vultures are my new grandpas. pick them up, put them in the adopt box.
-'I wonder why those guys were trying to waste dad!' THEYRE GHOSTS. YOUR DAD HUNTS GHOSTS. why is that not a conclusion you'd immediately jump to??
-*jazz voice, clearly disgusted* WISCONSIN???
-mrs fenton with the lab coat and leg warmers and PERM. YESSS STYLISH.
-was going to say 'ew billionaire' @vlad but. super valid he used his powers to assumedly steal and cheat to get that money, thats how all billionaires do it! but ew hes a SIMP. and spending your billions on FOOTBALL STUFF?? you are Not Valid overall. I DO respect the fact you have a castle instead of a mansion. in wisconsin. if youre going to be stupidly rich might as well go all out, torches on the wall and all. I DO like his ghost form's little kitty ears. catman. and his cape! every design can benefit from a cape. and how different his forms look, like danny looks the EXACT SAME IN BOTH FORMS ASIDE FROM COLOR CHANGES. vlad's is like,, I could believe they were different people!! also I love the drama. but dude you are fighting a 14 year old. lame. also he was like, telling danny he wanted his mom and him and like, wanted him to renounce his dad?? WHAT ABOUT JAZZ?? bitch. those r MY kids and they are both important and special. I do agree they need better parents but thats not u sir <3
-I thought vlad's 'little badger' nickname for danny came from the football mascot of the packers, but google says they have NO MASCOT?? so now I'm like?? is it because his hair is sometimes black and sometimes white?? I hate to give him props but thats a PERFECT NICKNAME. theyre also tiny and vicious!
Tumblr media
-why did I get so excited that Skulker is back!! its been like. 2-3 eps LMAO. AND THE DAIRY KING. ICONIC I LOVE HIM. hes the nicest guy ever :) more nice ghosts please. danny cannot be fighting alone everytime with no ghost buds like every ghost being hostile sucks :(
-mr. fenton knew vlad was controlling him, but a few episodes ago he had no clue danny was doing the same thing...is it something about how malicious the ghost is?? he just seemed to think his memory had gaps the first time, this time he was INSTANTLY LIKE 'GHOST'. then again in this ep when danny did it again he was just slightly confused but not immediately freaking out like he did with vlad possessing him!!
-'my parents will accept ME NO MATTER WHAT' so. so why haven't you come out to them yet, danny?? if you really think that?? if theres no harm, and you're sure??? if vlad is a real problem, wouldnt that make dealing with him easier, to expose him???? SO WHY HAVENT YOU COME OUT YET?? COULD IT BE,, MAYBE YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER YOUR PARENTS ACTUALLY WILL ACCEPT YOU??? 🤔 ... 🏳‍🌈 I get why people say He Is Trans. I totally totally get u danny.
-sorta unrelated, but it just occurred to me in one of these eps they go to casper HIGH not casper middle school??? theyre 14?? dont highschools usually do ages 15-18? (I didnt go to hs so I might be wrong, if I am ignore this...) freshmen are usually 14-15, could just be a case of them not turning 15 yet but they will sometime in the school year (I say they because tucker said he was 14 too)? I know the show has 3 seasons, so by the end of it will they be older? thatd be neat but usually cartoon characters stay the same age...I love shows where you can see the characters age and grow up, though...three seasons seems like a long time to spend on like, 1 year...

Over the Garden wall
Ok screw it im talking about ‘Over the Garden Wall’
For the entirety of otgw something always felt off all the time. And the end just gave me more questions. So spoilers, here is my theory on the unknown. also TW I am going to be talking about death and hospitals.
I don’t actually think the unknown is purgatory. Everybody there came back to the real world. However I do think you can only go there if you have a near death expierence. The reason I think this is because of Greg. Greg is very young that means his body isn’t very strong. That means if he really died in the river and then was brought back at the hospital, his body probably couldn’t handle it. It would be a miracle if his body could handle it. As well, everybody Greg and Wirt met in the Unknown were in the past, and didn’t have access to the resources modern hospitals have. But we see them all come back. That is why I think they almost died.
I think the Unknown can only be accessed when you are in a near death situation. For example,
- Beatrice and her family could have very well starved to the point to almost dying.
- The woodsman woke up in a blizzard, so he could have almost frozen to death.
- We know its halloween (fall) so Greg and Wirt could of had hypothermia.
Now you must be saying, Ari, what about the other inhabitants. Well, the main similarity between the characters i mentioned is that they were trying to leave The Unknown. The other characters didn’t seem to want to leave the unknown and had a life there. A good bunch of them had jobs too. Well, they are all dead in my opinion. Because they didn’t want to leave.
- Pottsfield seemed very happy in their cult, and since they are all skeletons, I think they have been there so long their bodies have started to decay. 
- the Tavern folks were all cheery and happy and had jobs.
- The animal school people seemed to be having a normal life. With their own problems.
- The tea company couple seemed very happy with their wealth and with each other
But there comes another hole in this theory, Pottsfield. They have been there so long that their bodies have started to decay and that is why they use the pumpkins as a body. Well, the Unknown doesn’t really exist on a plane of time or at least our plane of time. While yes, stuff does occur and people have proper memories of a timeline. Its not the same as our timeline. You can see this with Beatrice, the woodsman, and Greg and Wirt meeting in the same general time, but they are all from different eras. Its another plane of existance, with its own timeline running on whatever shape or line it is. So while there is passage of time in the unknown, it is seperate from our passage of time. The Unknown picks up its residents at different times on our timeline, at random times. That is why Pottsfield is decaying, but Beatrice is still a Highschool age girl when Wirt meets her. 
Also time dialation. From when Greg and Wirt fall into the river, to when they wake up in the hospital. At most that time would be 1 maybe even 2 hours if I am being generous. But the expierences in the Unknown would have lasted at least 1 or 2 weeks. I personally think one month. That would mean the plane of time and space they were on was not the same as their own. And it was all real, as we see with the frog with the bell in its stomach. Thats because its another plane of existance, grabbing people from our universe.
And the final nail in the coffin for the theory that the Unknown is a seperate plane of existance. The moon. When Greg and Wirt are walking to Pottsfield, which is North, they are walking towards the moon. And the moon was in a moon cycle not possible on earth. As well, if they were walking towards the moon, they would be going East or West. And seeing as they eventually make it to Pottsfield going that direction, that means they aren’t on Earth.
Now, the question is how does the Unknown choose its victims. For one, there has to be a near death expierence like I said before, but if it was every single one, the Unknown would be very crowded, which it doesn’t seem to be at all. Most of the residents are animals. But for now we are talking about humans. I think the Unknown chooses you when you feel small. When you feel forgotten about or everybody has forgotten about you. When you feel you have no hope. When you feel like nobody is going to help you. When you feel like people don’t care about you. For example,
- The woodsman felt like there was no hope for his sick daughter, and that people even forgot about them. 
- Beatrices family if my starvation theory holds true, felt out of luck and they had no hope because it was winter and they couldn’t grow any food to eat
- Greg and Wirt were running from the cops, and literally jumped over a garden wall in order not to get caught. And Wirt definitely has some insecurities about his worth as a person and whether people will actually remember
- The tea couple both show signs of narcissism, meaning they got all of their money so that people would pay attention to them and not forgotten about.
- The schoolteacher shows signs of measuring her worth on her accomplishments, hence why she gets really sad about her boyfriend leaving and how the animal school is not working. 
- The tavern people don’t even have proper names. They don’t feel important to the story which is why they introduce themselves with their job. They were meant to be forgotten about. 
The reason I say this is because of the short OTGW was based on, had the Tome of the Unknown, and it had everything that was forgotten about in it. 
But we have one more thing to address, and that is Greg.
But Greg doesnt seem to be a likely canidate to be lost in the Unknown right?
He doesn’t fit those requirments?
Wrong!
Greg is shown to have memory issues or having later reactions to things. That is why the frog seems to have a new name every episode, Greg forgot. And Greg knows that he has these memory issues. He may be a kid but he isn’t dumb. So I think he fears that these memory problems is going to make him forget about the people he loves, most of all his brother. So in that, he tries to please them in anyway possible. He raked his neighbors yard. He tried to get Wirt a date. In the boat episode, he is even willing to have his head drummed on so his friends will stay safe. When Wirt complains about Greg not leaving a trail, right after, Greg starts to leave a candy trail. Greg wants the people he loves to be happy incase he forgets about them. That is why Greg is willing in the last episode to sacrifice himself for his brother. 
And the final thing to address is the trees and animals. As we know, the trees are actually souls that have already died, and the woodsman collecting them is using their souls for oil in the lamp.  The Beast is a very obvious metaphor for death, more specifically the death of the hope they are going to survive, and through the trees that is how he carries out his duty of killing people in the Unknown because they died in there plane of existence. 
But I think the animals are people who have been in the Unknown long enough to start losing hope.That is why a lot of the animals have some sort of sentience. They aren’t animals, they are people. When we meet Beatrice she is pretty obviously a Bluebird. That is because her and her family aren’t very hopeful they are going to make it out of the Unknown. Her only chance is to find someone who lady Adelaide wants. 
As for the pets who come along on the journey, I have literally no explanation for that, unless the pets were tied to their owners souls. That is the only reason I can find.
The actual people in the series are still inbetween death and life, they still have hope they are going to live. Remember time dialation and the other plane of existance. But all the people who go into the Unknown and stay, will eventually become trees or animals. 
Now leaving the Unknown is a task in itself. But after the main cast left to Unknown, they got some sort of wish granted after the got back. The woodsman had his daughter get better and even being able to walk. Beatrice and her family got food. Wirt finally got that date. And Greg got to see his brother happy. The lack of these things also almost got them killed. So I think after they came back, the universe fixed those things, so that they wouldn’t go into the Unknown again, and give them hope, that their life is going to get better. While yes, they definitely did have hope before, this gives them hope about their lives and loved ones, not just their life not being in danger. 
I know this might have been really long and confusing. You can always ask me to clarify. But thank you for making it this far.

Kris isnt evil.
And yes, kris has his soul throughout the game.
Did everyone forget the pacifist ending post a genocide run?
Frisks eyes shine red, being possessed by chara, where you are unable to control frisk.
And the soul disposal? Chara already owns your soul post genocide in undertale, so they dont need to get rid of it.
But not in deltarune.
You know why chara had to take control at the end?
Because you cant control kris when they're unconscious, or unable to move by themselves. You see this during the end of the chaos king fight, and start of the dark world, where kris has to wake up and get up on his own. And chara didnt take control in the dark world because it was a bad time.
Controlling kris seems to be a consenting agreement, because kris can control himself at any time, without you being able to do anything. Like when they're afraid of susie, and backing up into the locker. Theres also the shielding scene in the chaos king fight. Not to mention the beginning where kris walks into the car, or when he chooses to hold toriels hand in the school They also get mad when mk insults susie after the dark world.
Kris seems to have control over himself whenever they want. So it doesnt seem like you're some sort of puppet master.
Why is this? Well, I have two ideas.
1) is that kris isnt even aware you're controlling him, because your "connection" isnt a master puppeteer and puppet one.
Or two, one that makes more sense and can help explain the rest of deltarune,
2) kris may have had that vessel dream in the beginning. And the text that appears is gaster talking in your place. The reason you made a vessel was because gaster knew about the threat of chara removing kris's soul, to take over and had you create a "backup" so kris would still have a body, and would have a chance to stop chara. Meaning that you'll likely play as your vessel in chapter two.
Why is chara doing this? I feel like this could be chara from the genocide run in undertale, with so much lv that they're unable to be reasoned with, and who's goal is to destroy worlds, and destroyed the undertale one. Let's call them lv-chara
But gaster didnt exist in that world, and he was unaffected by the genocide. But we do know he is observing this world helpless to intervene.
So I believe that after the universe was destroyed in undertale, he decided to craft an entirely new one, since the old world is unable to be saved, as lv-chara has gained absolute control over that universe.
But they wouldnt have that control over a new universe.
So they took every possible measure they could so that the genocide run could never happen again.
This is why "your choices dont matter" because gaster knows about the "anomaly." Which is the player, and all the possible timelines. So gaster got rid of any other timeline. And hell, even in the agreement of the game, he forced you to accept the terms of "you will accept everything that happens from now on."
Why? Well, does the quote "But you refused" ring a bell?
This is why they created the vessel. Because if chara somehow managed to bypass all that, he would be helpless.
This could even explain why the save points look different. Kris doesnt have as much less determination as they did in undertale, giving them enough power for a few resets but not enough to erase the world. (I'll get to kris in undertale shortly)
A few times you dont even reset when you're defeated. You just pop up at the last save point, after you've been defeated. You see this happens when susie defeats you and ralsei. (If you didnt know, when you lose and come back, you get more dialogue where susie rematches you because you arent pleading to not join.) You only reset a few times, like at the jevil fight. This is probably because you dont actually die the other times. Meaning jevil literally kills you.
This even explains why you have three save files.
Because even if chara manages to destroy the world, you'll have two more chances.
This is why gaster forces you into a pacifist run.
Because he hopes, and prays to any unknown being that could be greater than him, that you wont repeat your mistakes.
And if you will, gaster prays that you can't repeat your mistakes.
He doesnt even know if the anomaly will come back, be the same anomaly, or if there will even be an anomoly.
He also created a universe where chara never even existed. Taking their place in this universe is: frisk!
But why would frisk be so okay with this?
They had even less control in undertale. This is an improvement.
But that's not the main reason. You know how gaster is taking every possible precaution? I would say this includes talking to frisk about his plan, and begging them to help.
Frisk, of course never even had a say in the genocide run. Of course they would want to live in a world with control over their soul, (which was sold against their will) no possible threat of genocide, and the ability to live a happy life with all their friends in the underground, with no human vs monster war, where asriel never even became flowey, and where there was no resetting.
"But frisk and kris are different names?" Is frisk even a name? According to how many of me, theres only around a thousand and a half people named frisk. That's an extremely low amount. And this is 2019, so how many of them are kids named after undertale? And when I went on a few sites like baby names, frisk didnt even have any results.
So it's likely that they just asked gaster if they could change it to a name they liked more before the new universe was made. And even if frisk didnt want to change it, theres still reason to. Gaster wants to take every possible precaution, no matter how small or "insignifigant" remember? And that could include changing their name to frisk to make it harder for chara to find them, if they even could.
"But what if I never did a genocide run in undertale?"
That doesnt matter. Because this isnt about your undertale run. Any of ours actually.
Toby fox even tells us that this is a world separate from undertale, and our undertale world will remain exactly how we left it.
This even fits the message of undertale where you "cant undo your actions" you may not be able to undo your actions, but you can move past them, make better decisions, and learn from your mistakes.
And depending on your actions in undertale, you could be the same anomaly or a different one. If you did a genocide run, you're the same anomoly. But if you never did, or hell, never played undertale in the first place, you're a different anomoly.
But when do anomolys take control?
I feel like here, anomolys take control right before a major event. This is why you can see kris is several years older than frisk was. The major event here isnt chara, but the dark world. This is why you create the vessel as soon as you get there.
Gaster doesnt seem to have absolute control over this universe, despite making it.
This is why he makes a "connection" with you. He NEEDS an anomoly. Think about the difference between playing a game and doing it in reality?
Let's say you beat asgore in undertale. You were able to beat him there, but in reality? Be honest. Not only would you not survive one fireball, but you would not have the physical movement, reflexes, or ability to beat him.
In the undertale universe, anomalies are able to do the impossible easily. Gaster needs that ability to beat chara.
And you know the narrator chara theory? If it's true, How could it fit into here if kris still has dialogue boxes, and chara doesnt follow them around?
Like I said kris still has a lot of control. The narrator is likely just kris, if the narrator even is someone.
What do you guys think? Personally, I feel like I made a pretty damn good theory for what's going on in deltarune.

been gaining weight pretty quickly this month (which is good! i’m glad i seem to be improving a lot with eating normally again and my stomach is slowly tolerating things better) and i’m pretty disaociated from my body i didnt realize how much i lost before its kinda wild the few moments of clarity i did have (like it wasnt objectively a shocking image just in comparison to my typical weight throughout the past few years) and now ive only started realizing ive gained weight again because my boobs keep ffucking hurting like i’m going through puberty again to a lesser extent i havent worn bras regularly in like a year and a half (and no i dont have small ones i know a lot of people with breasts my size think its something they physically cant do or w/e but really as long as you dont care about looking “saggy” (so what lol) physically i think its actually felt better for me than the “support” of a bra i only wear sports bras with button ups to avoid when they open up) but yeah god i might need to wear one for a bit again just bc they hurt lol i think this maybe is a sign to start actively pursuing transition stuff again soon
wait actually coming back to this like an hour later bc i was curious what my bra size is and
why is sizing so complicated it should not be this hard what
i think i only thought i knew how it worked before because i wayyyy measured myself wrong
what are you even supposed to do for measuring when the middle of them sags well below where your band measurement is
trying to look this up just made me angry because instead of tips for properly measuring i only got “prevent saggy breasts” “saggy breasts are a problem that effects some women when they age or breast feed heres our special expensive bras to treat them” like literally shut up theres nothing “wrong” about it thats literally just how things are gonna be for most people with larger breasts. i should not be surprised but even the smallest forays into femininity never fail to disappoint me
thought i was like a 36~38D~DD but i’m actually like . somewhere in the broad category of 32~34F~K no matter which method of measuring/chart i used. which is wild because at only slightly less than i am now i thought i was a B cup for ages just because i wore the tightest sports bras lolol
so lol yeah i already wasn’t planning on buying any more bras but like. that cements it bc thats even more expensive and inaccessible
also maybe some of my posture issues are from my boobs??? but bras did literally nothing for that. granted they werent the right size i’m learning now but i don’t like their general feeling or how they look on me or anything. binding also isn’t possible most of the time for me anymore with my fibro and chronic fatigue and how it exacerbates back problems/muscle and rib pain/preexisting shortness of breath so i’m actually really happy with where i’ve come to in the past couple years in feeling comfortable with my breasts as they naturally sit/look and not feeling constantly aware of them and just letting them be and part of my body just wearing what i wear without bras. i still am pretty sure i’d like top surgery because aesthetically it’d be easier for me and it’d make a lot of outfits less of a hassle to pull off and button ups would be easier because i wouldnt have to choose between camis when its hot out and ill fitting sports bras. and like. yeah i still have some gender dysphoria (for lack of a better term. idk how to say it shortly without getting into All That personally) surrounding them but i think its a lot less central than it used to be when i had to think about wearing bras and even binders and stuff they just felt a lot more central to my life and alien while now i could deal with them probably outside of the still consistent but less constant reminders of 1. i am a person who is perceived by others and 2. sometimes just. objectively physically they are uncomfortable and annoying and 3. the taboo on showing them in our world and how our clothing is structured doesnt help

@camilliar replied to your post “i haven’t figured out how or even what it’d look like, but One Day,...”
"Were we really separated forcibly or did he just run off with the good stuff?" oh you KNOW this is a Jack/Parse fic
yeah, RIGHT?  (especially cause the next sentence there is “or did I?”)
But I can’t seem to pin it down enough to start anything... [er this wanders somewhat incoherently over several different fandoms.  some hedwig, some hamilton, but mostly omgcp.]
What is a Hedwig-inspired soulmates AU?  (.. Hedwig and the Angry Inch, musical & movie, idk if you know it).  But.  ARE there soulmates - to what extent is it even an AU, I mean - are soulmates a thing people know exist?  (In what sense?)  Are they marked....?
Some of my ideas, I guess, that I don’t know how to fit into a whole:
* no, there probably aren’t marks.  or not.... ones that happen automatically, anyway.
* one of the things I really want in the idea of this soulmate AU that I keep coming back to.... well, first, I wanna digress into the Hamilton version of the idea that I never wrote...
* it was Alex/Angelica as soulmates, in a polycule ‘verse where they were together sexually and romantically, but not each others’ exclusive or necessarily primary partners - cause Eliza was always gonna be Alex’s primary, that was an important part of the whole Negotiations thing.  um.  ANYWAY.
* one of my ideas from Hedwig, re: the song and the section of dialogue I quoted, is that - we do have missing pieces.  (yeah ‘know that you’re whole’ at the end... whatever).  but that that missing space is something we can try to fill in different ways, with different people, at different times... especially ‘in different ways.’
* and I don’t ship anything in Hedwig; I’m not sure how you could.
* but Tommy and Hedwig wrote all those songs together, right?  that’s not - enough, it may not be what your need.  but it’s something.
* and Alex/Angelica were gonna be, like, Political Soulmates.  Alex actually in office; Angelica working more on the whole party politics side of things - campaigning! getting support!  obviously knock-out drag-down fights about positions once in a while.
* So getting back to omgcp, of course, Jack and Kent are Hockey Soulmates <3.
* what does that mean!? of course the famous Parse & Zimms ~no-look one-timer,~ etc., but, like.  Do they know they’re soulmates?  (Also, does anyone else?)  And I think my answer to that is - there’s no definitive outward sign.  There are probably rumors, in the rumor mills.  But Jack and Parse, themselves?  They know it feels qualitatively different to play with each other than it does for anyone else.  Also they’re best friends, also they’re more than that.  So maybe they think maybe they’re soulmates - or maybe just one of them does.  (... maybe Parse; but maybe it’d be more interesting, actually, if Jack’s more of the ~romantic at first.  That can be decided later, I guess.)
* SO.  Back to, again, what are soulmates.  Cause I have a few different things going on here.  People who work uniquely well together, to make something SUPER GREAT.  (... why did I decide to make that my primary definition of soulmates, rather than romantic partners, like everyone else in fandom, idk don’t ask me okay.)  People who do tend to have a strong personal connection, frequently romantic/sexual/etc., or at least... soulmates having that sort of bond is probably... idealized a lot?  So of course if Jack and Parse are soulmates and bffs and boyfriends, that’s - a super lucky thing to be.  (even if some of the circumstances aren’t.)  And of course, there’s probably a fate thing, too, in terms of people who will ~just happen~ to come together not just once but somewhat repeatedly.
* AND THEN there’s the identical and complementary stuff, which??? idk??? what to do with, worldbuilding-wise.  It’s intriguing, it’s emotional.  And of course the soulmate pairs that I’m talking about do have quite a few things in common.  And you could argue that their weaknesses and strengths are complementary.  ... but you could say those things about lots of people; it’s not unique.
* But can you?  Literally?  Specifically?  steal your soulmate’s luck and/or love?  (And/or other things, but those two are the quote, and fit SO WELL for Jack/Parse, like... Parse gets all the luck, all the awards, he’s with the Las Vegas ACES, look at the name... and Jack gets all the love, not just Bitty but Samwell too, and his family...).  Can you SPLIT those things.
* DO YOU HAVE TO SPLIT THEM WHEN YOU”RE SPLIT UP.  !!!  Like you can only have both of them, in full measure, when you’re together, (... only once you’ve met? or maybe always), and.  Ever after that, (or maybe always), they’re, magically, a fixed total between the two of you.
* (WHAT IF KENT DOESNT LOOK FOR LOVE IN LAS VEGAS not just cause he’s hung up on Jack but cause he’d be taking it away from Jack, and he’s already taking enough.)
* (he’s already taking WAY TOO MUCH.  To be fair, he never thought he would get quite this far.  But of course he’ll play as well as he can, he and Jack would NEVER HAVE MET if that wasn’t an absolute given for both of them, but... if they’re soulmates is every goal he scores one that Jack doesn’t.)
* (if they were soulmates, though, Jack would freaking talk to him, wouldn’t he.  - And Jack was the one who thought they were, before!  But now.  He thinks he knows it, from that splitting, and he can only hope he’s wrong.)
* (or maybe he does feel he’s right and that’s why JACK NEEDS TO COME TO VEGAS TO PLAY WITH HIM TOGETHER and Jack is like... no.  If we were soulmates, things wouldn’t have ended the way they did.)
* AND.... wow, hm.  Also, I just realized, Jack’s developing feelings for/relationship with Bitty, is also, magically, cutting Parse off from Other People, somehow?... not that Jack knows/believes this.  But what if the epikegster Incident, and that whole spring, is actually during a long and messy and painful breakup of a relationship that Kent actually had been trying to have?  And the aftermath of it and everything is putting a strain on his relationship with the Aces too...
* And Jack getting into the NHL is - incredibly fucking remarkable, really, like how the fuck did that happen; and maybe Kent was off his game after the epikegster blowup.  And especially this newest season.  The sportscasters are Noticing.
* MOVING ONWARD.  *waves hands.*  Somehow, I think, Kent and Jack have to play together, again, on the same team.  It can’t be All-Stars, if I’m not mistaken, cause the Falcs are in the Eastern conference and the Aces are in the west.  It can’t be any of the world games, cause Jack’s Canadian and Kent’s American.  So... are there other all-stars-like games/scrimmages?  Or should it maybe just be a friendly unofficial game, they get roped into for reasons?
* They haven’t played together in many years; they’ve barely spoken for most of a decade.  But the chemistry on-ice feels just the same as it did when they were kids, if not better.  (Cause both of them are just better.)
* .... SO I GUESS THEY”RE SOULMATES.  And they both know for sure, anyway.
* And Jack’s still not going to break up with Bitty.  No matter what Parse says about ‘we’re meant to be together, I know your felt it too’... ‘on the ice, parse.’
* (they don’t HAVE to be friends.  But the closer they are, the more it’s joy shared rather than joy halved.  That’s just like, how it works.  And whatever else, they do both at least care about each other.)
* (.. the mechanics thing has nothing to do with Hedwig, omg, unless I guess you could say that Tommy ‘ran off with the good stuff,’ but wow; this is inspired in only the loosest sense.  But I still don’t know how anything would be closely inspired.)
* What they do have to do, though - technically they don’t HAVE to, but.  They’re serious players, they WANT TO DO WELL, they want to play the best hockey they can!!!  That is Seriously Important to both of them.  So... they have to get traded to the same team.
* Parse has way more leverage here, of course; my tentative thought is to say he uses it to get traded to the Falcs.  The soulmate split screwed up everything besides hockey records that he might’ve had in Vegas, anyway.
* (EXCEPT FOR KIT.  SHE IS FINE.  I WILL NOT HEAR OTHERWISE.  omg.)
* and.. this is not much of an actual story?  I don’t know?  What should be more of it, (except I want to rebuild some of those Vegas bonds somehow), but... I think it mostly works, as an idea, at least.
* They’re friends, they’re close; they don’t work romantically, but that’s fine being soulmates doesn’t mean that they will... (or is this pb&j idk!)
* and they are SO the best pair that the ice hockey world has ever seen <3 <3 <3.

  People, like organizations, find making change easier when faced with a crisis. If you or someone close to you has had a health scare related to being overweight, it could be your call to action. These crises create a sense of urgency, but we don’t have to manufacture a crisis to create a sense of urgency. Effective leaders set stretch goals for their organization that need to be reached within a specified timeframe. A goal needs to have a deadline. A deadline helps create a sense of urgency.  It helps establish priorities and prevents procrastination.  After setting goals they look at leading and lagging indicators. Lead indicators are daily actions we can take to achieve our long term goal, measured by lag indicators. For example, generating sales leads might be a lead indicator, while the lag indicator would be an increase in sales revenue. Fat loss lead indicators are your daily caloric intake and total daily protein intake. The lag indicators are your weekly bodyweight averages and average body fat percentages.
I have always gotten in my best condition when I had a specific event or competition I was preparing for at the time. If you don’t have a competition or event, you are preparing for you can create one. Here are some examples that can create the sense of urgency that makes change easier:
1)    Lose 10 pounds of body fat before your 10-year college reunion in 12 weeks.
2)    Compete in a body transformation contest, like Body-for-Life or the Lean Body Challenge.
3)    Lose 12 pounds before a professional photo shoot you have scheduled with your spouse in three months.
4)    Lose 20 pounds before your scheduled vacation to Hawaii in four months.
5)    Lose 15 pounds while you prepare for the MS 150 Bike Ride.
6)    Lose 20 pounds before a yearly dinner party you have planned with family or college friends.
These are just a few examples of the types of goals you can set to create the necessary sense of urgency needed to make change easier. Think big. The bigger your goal the more motivated you’ll be to go after it every day. The higher a priority it will be to you. The less likely you’ll be to procrastinate. The more fuel you’ll have to grind it out, day after day. Seeing yourself achieving your compelling goal is going to push you to make it a reality. Imagine how great it’s going to feel once you accomplish your goal. I like to envision a naysayer, a real or imagined person, that’s hoping I’ll fail. I channel my anger toward that person into my workouts with an “I’ll prove you wrong” mentality. I adopt a “you don’t know me” attitude. You don’t know how determined I am. I like to imagine their dismay when they discover I have beaten their predictions. “Success is the best revenge,” Ed Sheeran.
Commit yourself to your goal. In the examples given, register for your event or race in advance, purchase your airplane tickets, book hotel reservations, schedule the photography session, etc. You can sign-up for a one-year gym membership, which often saves you money over month-to-month memberships. You can sign-up for personal training sessions and share your goals with your trainer. This will further commit you and create an additional layer of accountability. The crucial thing is that you create a real sense of urgency. Establishing a sense of urgency will provide you with the motivation you need to stick to the program and overcome temptation. When you are tempted to eat a piece of birthday cake at the office or skip a planned workout. You will remember that your event is only a few weeks away, you have made a significant financial commitment, and you need to keep making progress toward your goal. Letting supportive friends and family know about your plans can also help you commit.
Make the decision. In Latin, decision literally translates to “a cutting off.” Decide. Commit. Cut off all other options. Cut off the excuses. Cut off the negative people in your life. Cut off procrastination. Cut off laziness.  In the military we say a unit is decisively engaged when it cannot retreat or advance. It must stand and fight or parish. Decide. Commit yourself. Commit, like Captain Cortes did by burning the boats. After his eleven ships carrying 600 Spaniards landed on the shores of Veracruz in 1519, he immediately gathered his men and ordered the boats be burned. By eliminating their only means of escape, he left them with only two options; succeed or die.  There is no better time than now.  Tony Robins says, “A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken action. If there’s no action, you haven’t really decided. If you want to take the island, then burn the boats. With absolute commitment come the insights that create real victory.”

UGH DUUUUUDE, ITS LIKE I OBVIOUSLY NEED TO READ MORE BC I WAS WRITING LAST WEEK AND TWO WEEKS AGO ABOUT MY PERSONAL PROBLEMS WITH HOW I AM JUDGED AND PUT DOWN FOR NOT FITTING INTO THE SPACE THATS MADE FOR ME IN SOCIETY BECAUSE I DO NOT IN MY HEAD OR HEART FIND ANY VALUE IN OWNING ANYTHING AND ABOUT HOW I EITHER HAVE TO REPROGRAM MYSELF LIKE THE WAYS I THINK AND FEEL AND MY TRUE DESIRES AND OUTLOOK AND EVERY THING ABOUT ME IN ORDER FOR ME TO PLACE ENOUGH VALUE ON OWNING THINGS BECAUSE THATS HOW MY VALUE, WORTH, RESPECTABILITY, SUCCESS, ETC IS JUDGED BY OTHERS ; LIKE I WAS WRITING ABOUT HOW IF I STAY MYSELF I WILL ALWAYS BE A “LOSER” IN THE EYES OF OTHERS BECAUSE AS A CULTURE, COMMUNITY, SOCIETY WE MEASURE SUCCESS BY WHAT WE OWN AND WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO OWN. LIKE ADULTHOOD MILE STONES ARE LITERALLY ALL MARKED BY WHAT WE COME TO OWN. LIKE A CAR, A HOUSE, ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF OUR DEBT, ENOUGH TO AFFORD A VACATION AND TRAVEL, ENOUGH TO PAY FOR OUR OWN BILLS AND LIKE GETTING MARRIED AND HAVING KIDS WHICH IS ALSO JUST LIKE OWNING. I WROTE ABOUT HOW THE “IDEAL FUTURE” I HAVE IMAGINED SINCE I WAS 13 IS THIS STILL FRAME THAT I THINK IS ALL METAPHORICAL. THAT MY IDEAL FUTURE IMAGE EMBODIES A “FEELING” THAT I AM ALONE IN AN EMPTY APARTMENT WITH NO FURNISHINGS BESIDES A BED AND A DESK WITH MY OWN WRITTEN ON PAPERS TACKED TO THE WALL AROUND THE DESK WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A WORKSPACE AND THAT THERES A SLIDING GLASS DOOR TO A BALCONY AND I CAN SEE A BUSY BUSTLING CITY AT NIGHT TIME. I WROTE ABOUT WHAT ALL OF THOSE THINGS REPRESENT EMOTIONALLY. ITS A LOT OF STUFF IF ANYONE GIVES A FUCK. ANYWAYS OVERALL IT REPRESENTS ME HAVING ALREADY “MADE IT” AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPECTED FOR MY CREATIVE WORK AND THAT BECAUSE I ALREADY EARNED MY RESPECT I WAS “FREE” TO NOW “CREATE” WHAT I WANT WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT “WHAT AMOUNT OF RESPECT THIS CREATION WILL EARN ME”. BECAUSE EVEN IN MY DREAMS ABOUT A FUTURE, AND WHEN ASKED “FAME OR FORTUNE” I PICK FAME NOT CAUSE I WANT FAME BUT BECAUSE BEING RESPECTED BY MY COMMUNITY AND/OR THE GA IS ACTUALLY WORTH SOMETHING TO ME. MONEY JUST DOESNT HOLD THE SAME VALUE IN MY FUCKING NATURE. IT JUST DOESNT. NOT ONLY BC I DONT HAVE ANY DO I SAY THIS, ITS JUST NEVER AMOUNTED TO THAT. EVEN HOW I WORK AND GET PAID, I FORGET THAT I GET PAID AT THE END OF THE WEEK FOR WHATEVER HOURS I WORK. I WORK MORE OR LESS HOURS AND ITS MORE ABOUT RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY THAN IT IS ABOUT ANYTHING. LITERALLY ALL MY YEARS IN THE WORKFORCE AND THE CONCEPT OF “IF I WORK THIS HOUR, THAT HOUR EQUALS = $$$” NEVER SUNK IN, AND I TRY TO MAKE IT SINK IN BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT ABOUT MYSELF BUT IT JUST DOESNT SINK IN. ANYWAYS YEAH AND I WROTE ABOUT HOW THE CITY I COULD SEE THROUGH THE GLASS AND THAT IN THAT STILL FRAME IMAGE THE FEELING IS THAT I AM GETTING READY TO GO SOMEWHERE AND HOW I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM GOING BUT JUST THAT I FEEL LIKE FREE TO GO THAT THAT REPRESENTS MY DESIRE TO FEEL FREE TO LIVE LIFE ETC ETC ETC IT WAS VERY IN DETAIL AND I WROTE A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF RELATED TO THIS SHIT, SERIOUSLY IT WAS LIKE 90 PAGE RANTINGS AND I AM NOT GONNA EVEN TOUCH ON THE MORE INTERESTING PARTS OR GO INTO IT WITH WHAT IVE ALREADY SAID BUT MY POINT IS I WAS JUST WRITING ALL THIS STUFF THAT ALIGNS WITH KARL MARX’S ISSUES WITH CAPATALISM AND HOW IT LIKE HAS EVERYONE TRICKED INTO “HAVING THEIR OWN REASONS” OR A  “PURPOSE” FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL WAY THEYRE GONNA LIVE IN LINE WITH CAPITALISM. LIKE HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS US BEYOND JUST LIKE THE DIRECT OBVIOUS EFFECTS. I AM JUST VERY EXCITED TO HAVE LISTENED TO THIS, AND NOW I WILL READ MORE, I KNEW THAT HE EXISTED AND LIKE THAT HE WAS ON MY TEAM IN A WAY BUUUUT BECAUSE I HAVENT REALLY READ FOR STUDY VERY MUCH UNTIL THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVENT BEEN AWARE OF HOW CLOSELY SOME GREAT THINKERS ALLIGN WITH THE WAY I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THINGS AND EVERYTIME I REALIZE THERES A GREAT THINKER THINKING ABOUT THINGS IN A VERY BASIC WAY LIKE ME, THAT MEANS THERES SO MUCH OTHER STUFF THEYVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT I CAN GO READ AND LEARN AND MENTALLY/EMOTIONALLY GET OFF TO SO IM EXCITED

i keep talkin bout you bc youre my only real way of measuring my progress. you were the best and worst. yesterday or honestly whenever, i made posts along the lines of some shit like you suck ass, which ya do, but if you got your life together we could be friends or sum. but i mean. that’s a concept. what i’m realising is that every day, i’m getting further away from you. and that is a GOD DAMN BLESSING. i say all these nice things but thats for the fake fun and great version of you that exists in my head as just a comforting thought when i feel like thinking about love. but damn, i keep forgetting until i really think about it that, i literally am so fucking happy to be away. i am so happy we never have to be friends again and talk and shit. because you /seem/ cool, especially when we barely talk but if i had to actually deal with you. id rather punch myself in the god damn face. also wow it sucks that id still be down for your dick bc you be lookin like a god damn mess like eww??? i barely /actually/ see you and then when i do i realise oh yeah this b for real aint shit. like i wonder what he is actually getting done w his life. and okay, any progress is great. like if you on your own are trying. great. thats fantastic like im proud of you. everyobe works at their own pace. but in terms of me being friends w you. nah b, you lame as fuck. i aint got time for that. i have been meeting waaayy too many incredible peoole this year and have done waaay to many incredible things to be settlin for someone like you. idk dude. i see you. i hear things about you. i see the shit you do and say and i know you cant judge someone really unless you really get to know em or whatever but sometimes peoples social media and their friends can say a looooottt about them. a lot. and i do not. ever. wanna. fuck. w. you. HEEELLL NOOO.
as much as i wish for myself to never speak of you again and all that. i dont think thats going to happen for a long time. three years is a long time. even if this one seems to have lasted forever, three years is longer. and thinking back on all of it helps me realise how much ive progressed. and how much i keep progressing every day. i literally can only remember one. one. bad day. through this whole year. only one. maybe two? i remember one bad moment? but ive only ever had one bad day.
it is such a feeling. to finally. be free. all my emotions are controlled by me. i never feel depressed and alone on a cloudy quiet sunday. i never feel dreary when its pouring rain out. i never feel affected by the mundane weather. because i have done so much and i honestly will never stop. because what is the point in not trying to have fun and live your best life every moment of your life? fr that one song by anderson paak, i aint never comin down. i spent too much time bein scared and believing i was incapable and antisocial and no one likes me or whatever. but how do people get rid of their fears? you go out and face it. i feel like i can do almost anything now, im not gonna lie. like, if i really want to. because thats genuinely all it takes. if you WANT to do something, you will find a way to do it. so you will succeed. if you WANT to, even if theres everything stopping you, you find a way around it. once you realise that, nothing fucking stops you. i say this same old stuff over and over again but it just took me so long to learn and you hear about it but you never believe it. i still am amazed every day by how my life is now.
i have met some of the most phenomenal and successful people this year. i never would’ve thought first of all that they would even like me or want to talk to me but you would be damn well surprised by people’s kindness. growing up sheltered and being called annoying, dumb, and all other things, you end up believeing no one will like you its just automatic. this year, got to become friends with my favourite people that i always wanted to hang out with. i got to befriend amazing artists and photographers that are huge in my town. everyone who meets me automatically wants to be my friend. even strangers?? random people that sit next to me in class. doing leads you to meet people. and meeting people leads you to doing. its a fantastic cycle if you think about it. life is never boring. i appreciate all the small little things in my life so much more now. everything. if you arent happy with your life, find a way to make yourself happy. you arent stuck unless you give up and stop trying to change yourself. these. are the reasons why i wouldnt want you back in my life. my life is too phenomenal now. my life is too fantastic for you to be in you wouldnt fit. plus, i think im way too positive for you now. and i unapologetically love myself and every aspect of who i am now and i am constantly working on bettering me that i feel like itd just be too much? id be obnoxious to you i feel like?? and youd be boring. you would be boring. i like your interests. i love hearing what you have to say about music and movies and weird random facts but. i also dont trust you to be a good person. after all that you did too, nah. i dont need that negativity. it would be outrageous for me to believe we are connected in anyway. i hope. i mean this in all honesty with my whole being. i hope youre happy w your girl or whateva bc i want you outta mine. she better be takin fuckin care of your dumbass though i stg. i dont care when my boys get w other girls as long as i know their taken care of. vasya when he got w chelsea? immediately got over my crush for him and was happy af bc she was better than me. max, if he gets w anyone aside from cheyenne i will beat his ass. that b better fuckin be pushing you to strive for the best. she better be pushin you to realise your worth and what youre capable of and pushin you to try new things because LIFE IS TOO FUN TO NOT GO OUT AND HAVE FUN. COOK SHIT TOGETHER. GO HIKE. GO DANCE. DO SHIT. GROW UP. THINK SMART.
i fr dont know what the point of this post is im really out here just writin whatever comes to mind. bc one day i’m gonna go back through all my personal posts and ill remember how my life was rn and ill be like damn. that shit was sick as fuck. life was lit as fuck. tbh i think i was just really shook by that photo of you. ive been writing gay shit bout you for a while and then i saw that and i was like OH FUCK ABORT MISSION THAT B UGLY AS HELL AND HAS NO LIFE BACK OUT BACK OUT and now im here. straight shook. yeah. i dont want you in my life. my life is way better without you. i really am an unstoppable force right now. school is a motherfuckin one. friends are fucking precious and successful amazing wholesome human beings that are also out here doin the motherfuckin most im so proud i love all my friends we are all such successful people with amazing futures ahead of us god im so proud im 😭😭😭 we really out here chasin our dreams n shit. aND SUCCEEDIN. and money situation is L I T. ya baby’s got a fine ass mercedes w the best dad in the world getting me AUTOSTART for this cold winter???? ya baby be workin out and doin yoga everyday, abs comin in HOT. ya gurl developin as an artist with her dream school hittin her the FUCK up for her portfolio?? i am a for real artist now but i refuse to realise my big stuff. only sketches for now, dear world. the public eye doesnt need to see me as an artist yet. no. because they always will bc its always me. but no. i gotta act chill. this isnt the artist years of your life yet. you aint settled down yet no. now is time for fun, life, school, that grind 😤😤, and ecology.

  People, like organizations, find making change easier when faced with a crisis. If you or someone close to you has had a health scare related to being overweight, it could be your call to action. These crises create a sense of urgency, but we don’t have to manufacture a crisis to create a sense of urgency.
