help a disabled family of two!!!

hi!! i've made some help posts before, but i'm making this one to prepare for things in advance, as it's not urgently needed all at once, and instead is something i would need over the coming months.

long story short, my dad got badly injured at work in october. he's an 80 year old cancer patient and i've been taking care of him more ever since this happened. we found out a few days ago that unfortunately, his job doesn't want him to come back, despite him working there for over a decade. we've been struggling a lot and this was very bad news.

while we do have options, we're obviously not making as much money as usual, and the coming summer is going to be extremely rough. we don't have much money left and i'm scared of what will happen in the future. while i have picked up some freelance work, it's not enough to keep us going, so i could really use some extra help.

750 / 1000 (will keep this updated!)

☕ ask me privately for other payment options

hi! i need some help... 🛐

so yesterday i found out i need to get a surgical procedure done Next Week (it's an emergency...) and i have enough to cover the surgery itself but Unfortunately that + the copay for yesterday's appointment has left me with a lot less than what i expected to have and my bills are due this week. :,3

i have commissions open (there is a pwyw option) + please feel free to message me if an option you want is closed.

alternatively my p-ypal is here.

thank you very much, apologies for needing help again.

i do want to say that things have been a lot better for me and my family if you've seen my previous posts, this was just an unexpected bump in the road if you will. 💜

unfortunately i need some help again. i'm very exhausted so i'll keep this brief. i had a to take my cat to the vet last month, had to get an emergency surgery, and then my dad broke his foot. it's been really tough just surviving and we're hardly able to grab groceries. have to live day by day.

i have bills due and because i've been helping out my dad + drained from my cat & surgery, i'm very behind and unsure if i can pay what's due in the coming days...

☕ / paypal

soft goal of $150, anything helps!!! thank you!

[reshiram]

OH YEAH. i was inspired by @luminiera-merge and decided to make seofon's grandcypher kitchen menu items!!!!!! ^7^

i wrote down the recipes if you feel like trying them out yourself!!!! i included replacement ingredients too, because some of this stuff is a little difficult to get (at least in my area).

do you want to read gbf msq?

are you new to the series? do you only play gbvs and are completely lost on lore? are you an older player and wanting a recap? do you just perhaps want to catch up on msq but never had the time? there's a lot of reasons you could have for wanting to read gbf's msq, and i'm here to answer your call!

i always was sad that the gbf wiki archived a lot of events (don't get me wrong i'm really grateful for that) but not msq, so i decided to make an archive of gbf's msq on my website.

you never know when gbf could eos, and yeah videos of msq exist (which i'm also grateful for), but having a transcript is really important and i've taken it upon myself to be the one who does it.

right now i have completely archived all of arc 1, and next week i'll be starting on act 2. 👍 it's a slow process and there's only one guy behind it (me) so please be patient! not all links are working and there might be some errors floating around. but anyway...

READ MSQ NOW!

did a tiny thing with our theme... i know the chance of people clicking desktop themes nowadays is very slim, but... it's a fun change!!

i randomised our sidebar icon + corner floaty image... it will now show a completely random image from a small list that represents one of us (as in, our system). i thought it would be a really cute way to show some us to the world, even if that alter isn't fronting!! (however, if you're ever curious who is fronting, please check the front page of our website!! you can also ask for the password to this page privately...!!) it also helps us feel less tempted to change things around whenever we switch. credits can be found here! it goes without saying, but please do not use or save the art on our theme. ;w; it isn't for you to use.

you can also hover over the art to see which alter it represents!! ^__^ i'll put that under the cut though!!

...and more! feel free to look around to see some of us.

seofon and the big dipper 🌠

let's talk about seofon and the big dipper, because there's some really neat symbolism tucked away!!!

starting with some basics. what's the big dipper? it's an asterism, which is basically a group of stars that are NOT a constellation. however, the big dipper is inside of a constellation, aka the ursa major!!!

there are technically eight stars inside of it, but only seven are relevant for seofon, since his whole deal is the number seven. the seven brightest stars correspond to his seven-star avatars. they are as follows: dubhe, merak, phecda, megrez, alioth, mizar, and alkaid.

a neat tie in is that the avatars recite the greek letter that refers to their bayer designation (the order of which stars appear!).

this is usually from brightest to least brightest, although funnily enough, the big dipper does not follow this rule! for example, dubhe comes first, but it's actually the second brighest. the rule it follows is based off of visual order instead, bowl -> handle)

now, i said there were eight stars, but only seven are mentioned in seofon's lore. this is because alcor is a binary star system with mizar. it's fainter and thus does not get a bayer designation.

it does however, have a flamsteed designation! this involves numbers instead of greek letters, but it's pretty similar otherwise!

seofon uses an attack called carro magnifico, with carro being chariot. magnifico is magnificent, or in other words, grand. grand chariot is the name of his raid theme!

from the top of my head, i can say that the big dipper is referred to as a chariot in french, spanish, norwegian, and chinese.

taosim and buddhism also have personified versions of the big dipper, which have associations with chariots.

the chariot is controlled by an emperor, or leader (although depending on the culture sometimes it's a god instead). it's said that the big dipper is known for guiding people, does that ring any bells? reminds me of a certain sword guy…

the big dipper is also commonly associated with death, believe it or not! the handle can be interpreted as mourning maidens, while the bowl is a bier. alkaid's name ties in with this.

alkaid is the apparent leader of the seven-star avatars, and alkaid's name derives from a phrase that boils down to "the leader of the daughters of the mourners", which adds up to its role!

a little disclaimer, i'm not an expert on chinese mythos, so apologies if this next part is rough!!

the big dipper is also known as beidou, and you can find engravings or decorations relating to it on swords, who would've thought! they're even called "seven stars jian", aka the straightsword.

the dipper is known to represent both good and evil. this relates to how life is more tied to the southern dipper (located in sagittarius), and death of course to the northern dipper, aka the big dipper.

in a way, this reminds me of seofon and his other self. they're made of the same cloth, but they also are complete opposites. crazy isn't it?

i feel like you could also make connections with the big dipper's associations with safe passage + heaven to estalucia aka the boundary. but unfortunately there's still too little that we actually know about estalucia… oh well! still food for thought.

i will also note that the saptarshi (seven sages from hinduism) are closely tied to the asterism as well! each star represents one of the sages, and to me, that really fits the vibes of the seven-star avatars being the deities of the blade and whatnot.

the big dipper is the most iconic constellation in the northern hemisphere. seofon even talks about how everyone loves the big dipper when he uses his fourth skill, seven star's brilliance (take a guess what is pictured as the skill icon).

there's probably more i could say, but i don't want to overwhelm or bore anyone. hope you learnt something new! thanks for reading! 🌟
