I wanna ask how does Ren keep us with all the study and still manage to keep tab on MC 😭 like left alone his natural intelligence. And also how does he smell like?

Have a nice day ❤️

(Unfortunately, I seem to check this tumblr every hour, your posts mean alot to me muah ❤️)

✦゜ANSWERED: Ren doesn't have much else to do with his free time, so he spends it all watching you! And I wouldn't really say he's blessed with intelligence — but rather — he's clever in a cunning way. Ren can't solve basic math equations without the use of a calculator (/silly), but he can think of 20 different ways to blackmail someone into doing his dirty work in under 14 seconds.

As for your second question, it's already described in the demo, but he smells like mint, fresh linen, and something that's "wholly" ren!

Be careful there are some people on TikTok hating on your character Jade and they're planning on making hate comments that could evolve into death threats, be careful Sleepy

Hello! Thank you so much for the warning and alert I appreciate it (⁠人��� ⁠��͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Thankfully I don't go to TikTok at all. I only open TikTok links from my friends who send me some cursed memes from time to time 😂 BUT. I think I know which TikTok you mean 👀

Now, although I know those threats are really, really terrible and bad, I am used to it.

It's been happening since MWII came out in 2022, and if I want to give you an estimate, it's close to a hundred of those 🧑‍🚒 and I'm not exaggerating.

At this point of my life, I have a stronghold in God, and though I'm, honestly speaking, in a life-changing phase of my life (family struggles), It's now a white noise to me 😂

Thank you for the warning and checking up on me ❤️ I will be fine 👹📢 and I WILL BE MAKING MORE GHOSTJADE DON'T FRET

Love, Sleepy 🥔

He was out like a light and high most of yesterday, and he has a headache, but at least he's feeling mentally better after shutting himself up in the tower for two days.

"Well, that was an experience! Right as rain now!"

[withonly-sweetheart]

hi jj!! I hope you’re ok after that anon Jesus Christ since when has not liking someone’s writing ever been an excuse to be an asshole 😭 id recommend turning off anon asks!! Just for a bit of a cooldown period. If anon wants to be an asshole at least be an asshole on main y’know? Sending u some flowers n a hot cup of cocoa n hope you’re alright after all that

HI CRESSIE!!

so i thought abt turning off anon asks but it seems mean to the other anons because they've been pretty active (i just dont.. answer... until... im done... so.) and it feels wrong to be biased based off of ONE bad experience

but tysm for the advice!! and if this nasty anon shows back up i will take ur word for it and turn anon asks off for a bit just to let things simmer down.

tysm for the cocoa sipping it on this cool day 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 sending flowers right back to ya!!!

Buddhism Infodump Ahead😋:

OKAY SO- This all started like 2 years ago I think?? Because I was taking a Buddhism class (at this point my brain hadn’t really connected the dots yet with JTTW and the class lmao) and we were talking about Bodhisattva’s and how they’re all gender neutral (which I thought was so fucking cool). During the class, we talked about Guan Yin and finally it clicked in my brain that hey!! That’s the bodhisattva in JTTW! But I was confused because the book definitely uses she/her, when theyre supposed to be gender neutral? I pulled my prof aside after class and asked why that was?

And SO- the Guan Yin that appears in the book is a specific version from the school of Chan(Zen) Buddhism, which focuses more on meditation as a path to enlightenment. This kind of mediation can be done while going about daily life performing chores. As you meditate, you can be spontaneously enlightened, either triggered by a sound or change in your environment. This school has special versions of the Buddhas and Bodhisattva’s, like Rope Robed Monju and White Robed Guan Yin, who is (usually) depicted relaxing in their home (a bamboo grove said to be at Mt.Putuo) by a reflecting pool. When Christians started coming to China to convert people to Christianity, they saw this super popular version of Guan Yin ((which people at time were depicting as more feminine)(as bodhisattva’s can take any form they want)) and immediately equated them to Mother Mary. The white clothes, feminine appearance, and occasional depiction with children convinced Christians that they were worshiping Mary. Thanks to conversion efforts (and China not wanting to be attacked by Europe for denouncing ‘their God’), Guan Yin as a woman was cemented into the general population. So by the time JTTW was written, Guan Yin was portrayed as a woman! They also spread the idea that Buddhism ISNT a religion but a philosophy! Because then you can worship the Christian god and not yours, because yours is just a way of life not an actual religion! I’ve had ALOT of people tell me Buddhism is a philosophy and it activates my anger every time(These conversion efforts also resulted in a lot of Non-Asain countries having the the wrong idea of Buddhism since the missionaries brought back this warped version to Europe, ideas that still persist today).

Other Funfacts:

One iconographic detail that can help you identify Guan Yin, is that Amitabha is always sitting in their crown (not sure if this applies to avaloteshkovara tho), which also links them to Pureland Buddhism, as Amitabha is the Buddha of the Pureland and infinite light and life😌 (the western heaven in JTTW for context).

While Bodhisattva’s are not gendered, Buddha’s are! Which is probably related to the fact that Buddhas don’t really change their appearances like the Bodhisattva’s do, since they don’t usually interact with humans

Guan Yin is also known as Kannon(Japan), Gwan-uem(Korea), and Avaloteshkovara(India)

Amida (Japans name for Amitabha) also performs the Raigo or welcoming descent and can be accompanied by Kannon and Seishi to take people to the Pureland as they’re dying. This is where they will spend their next life, listening to lectures by Amida, as they try to reach enlightenment

Nirvana literally means extinction, it means removing your self from the cycle of reincarnation and finally resting

When you are enlightened, you become one with everything, including other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

There are over 80 signs of enlightenment including the urna, ushnisha, and elongated earlobes. The earlobes are from the historical Buddha Siddhartha, who as an Indian prince, would have stretched lobes for Jewelry

You can also ID a specific Buddha by the combination of Mudras they are displaying- Abhaya and Varada are specifically for Shakyamuni (the historical Buddha). Amitabha with the Samahita Mudra (I’m having trouble finding its name, so I’m not 100% sure it’s right)

Two of the Bigger Branches of Buddhism are Mahayan Buddhism(which is more popular in North Asia) and Theravada Buddhism (which is more popular in South Asia)

In esoteric Buddhism, the more heads and arms a deity has, the more powerful they were, see 11 Headed Guan Yin

TO CONCLUDE ALL THESE FUN LITTLE FACTS: Buddhism is a religion and is different in every country it’s practiced in, JTTW showing just a small snippet! Hopefully there was some stuff in here you didn’t know and if there is something in here that might be wrong, let me know! I might not get everything right and I’d love to learn/correct anything!

How is chapter 10 going of hellfire and ice? Could we possibly have a crumb of dialogue pls pls

i'll be so real with you NOT GREAT BESTIE, i'm having a rough..... month that's making my brain yadda yadda yadda ANYWAY i do have a little bare bones somethin somethin from the notes

“Al mentioned that… he might be taking over some… shit your dad had left unfinished.” A cold shock knifes through you. “Why would he do that?” “Because he’s a squirrel trying to get a nut.” “What?” “I don’t know. He said… Look, he wanted me to get close to you, kind of. Keep an eye on you. Talking about how you're an in--” You go rigid, Eddie's fingers still warm around yours. “Oh?” And then they tighten. “I told him no. No way. This was… in motion long before he came back into the picture. I've been... Hey?” Eddie nudges his shoulder into yours, eyes searching your faraway face. "Hey. Don't go there. This is not that." "I'm not. I'm not going there." You beg realism to beat its way into your expression, not the falling and forlorn look you're positive you're wearing. “But to anyone else, it sure would sweeten the deal. Wouldn’t it?” Get your dick wet, blow my life up, help dipshit daddy win for once, the worst part of your brain, the part that doesn't believe you deserve to have your hand held, utters. But not loud enough for it to overtake. The way Eddie's looking at you turns the volume right down. “I’m not anyone else, Lace. Don’t know if you’ve picked up on that.” He sounds so sure. Oh no, the way the hard edges of your eyes go soft. Oh no, the way your chest feels like caving. "I have."
