@sobekcrocodile Thank you my love
"you have to love yourself first" WRONG. find love in companionship and connection
#So much easier to love myself when someone loved me#As I already was#Not some idealized version I could never live up to#Grew up believing (and being shown) that I had to be the perfect unobtrusive invisible person to earn any love#Especially love from myself#And Im human so I never got there#Cuz to live oneself you need to be even just a little bit proud of yourself#And only the perfect were allowed pride#But not too much! That's arrogant and makes others feel bad!#So never being perfect enough meant no pride and therefore no self acceptance and love#But my now wife came in and blew that all out the airlock (where it belongs)#She loves me AS I AM IN THE MOMENT#And is proud of me for things I never knew you were allowed to be proud of#Effort#Boundaries#Rest#Making myself seen and heard#So I learned to be proud of myself for those things too#And next thing I knew pride lead to acceptance#And acceptance lead to love#I still struggle with self worth and perfection paralysis#And my progressing chronic pain and illness doesn't help#But I know I can get through it all#Get through anything#With her at my side#And my own love for myself in my heart

hi does anyone else think about april throwing herself over leo to shield him in the shredder strikes back despite having no weapons no way to defend herself and probably assuming she was going to die. does anyone think about that all the time. every day. uncontrollably
[ID: Digital fanart of Ninja Turtles 2003 depicting a scene from The Shredder Strikes Back part 2. April kneels over an injured Leo, cradling his head and looking back over her shoulder to snarl viciously at the camera, though there is obvious fear in her eyes. Her hair has partially fallen out of her bun, the loose strands sticking to her face with sweat. She has a cut on her cheek. Only a portion of Leoās face can be seen from behind her shoulder. He looks up at her with a sad, pained expression. He has a swollen, bloody shiner on his cheek in addition to other cuts and bruises on the rest of his body. They are on the wooden floor of a dark attic. End ID.]
#sheās so protective of her fambly manā¦.. i think she should have gotten to call that wasp a bitch in āāaprilās artifactāā#anyway.#you ever think about how in almost every version befriending the turtles leads to april having these huge moments of loss#losing her shop her job her home her father her LIFE and yet she accepts it all bc she jsut decided to fucking love them more than anything#take my hand. do you think about itā¦ā¦#tmnt#tmnt 03#tmnt 2k3#tmnt 2003#april o'neil#leonardo tmnt#described#cw blood#she rlly asked is anyone going to adopt these weird turtle children and then didnāt wait for an answer#frogs.art

hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

Oh Oliver Oliver Oliver how I love thee!!
In flux you say
Dealing with changes you say
Velocity you say
A lot of possibility you say
So many most excellent things all in one answer!
Flux and change in the same sentence is so interesting and telling on several fronts (and not just Eddieās moustache!). Itās very loudly saying bt bones sooner rather than later, but itās also suggesting some things going down at the firehouse and maybe with Bobby (the working together during the plane emergency was very much giving me calm before a storm vibes) which Iām excited to see as I think it will be fabulous for Bucks development both personally and professionally. But itās also giving me changes with Eddie vibes - and on a couple of fronts - the Christopher front, and the personal front.
The use of velocity is an interesting choice - when you think Bucks been stuck on that hamster wheel for so long and then got off one to land on another, the fact weāre now talking velocity is pretty interesting! Itās very much suggesting weāre going to get a huge amount of buck set up stuff in the next couple of episodes - on multiple fronts. So btw bones obviously, which Iām expecting to trigger some soul searching and figuring out - that his bisexual awakening has triggered buck knowing himself more than he ever has before but that Tommy has been holding him in stasis and as soon as heās gone it will actually catapult him forward quite dramatically.
I mean velocity is giving me feelings for Eddie realisation vibes, but then, because I think in 806 Eddie is going to shave the stache off and then head off to Texas to try to fix things with Chris, things settling down for buck for a little bit makes a lot of sense to me. In combination with āa lot of possibilityā and the concept of ānext stepā and Oliver being excited to see where āthe story goes in the not to distant futureā itās very much giving buck sort of pining era vibes. Eddie being physically gone (and working on his own stuff which I expect to take 2 episodes at most) giving buck some processing space would be great to watch - especially if we are shown them being in contact by phone and video chat etc. As the audience weād get to see Buck actively knowingly in love whilst not being able to act on it - Oliver obviously wouldnāt know yet how that initial pining era is going to go from there because it would take us through to 808 - which is what theyāre finishing up right now, so itās all set up to be exciting because Eddie will then return and Chris will be back (he better or I will be protesting at the studio!) so focus will shift to that aspect for an episode or so, and weāll have fully pining buck whoās also delighted Chris is back and that leads to a cliffhanger mid season on the will they wonāt they front!
I can see it all so clearly and Iām very here for it please and thank you
#do you think Iāve been parasocial enough or do I need to try harder ššš#obsessed with this answer#it gives#me angst bt bones pining and excitement#bucks someone who processes and accepts things about himself pretty quickly#so it makes narrative and character sense for him to just suddenly (ish) know heās in love with Eddie and to accept it#but with Eddie being gone and Chris being a priority - buck wonāt want to do anything about it#so heāll pine for a bit and it may even impact on other parts of his life#leading to a cliffhanger mid season and buddie canon for episode 118!#Iām so excited#911 spoilers#evan buckley#911 abc#eddie diaz#oliver stark#quotes#911 speculation#anti bucktommy#anti tommy kinard#buddie#all roads lead to buddie

I love the dichotomy we get between jinshi and the emperor that shows off how the traits that make jinshi a great prince, boss, friend (husband šššš) are the very same traits that will make him a terrible emperor.
His hard working streak that lets him handle his weird assignments with grace and manage the clashing egos of the inner palace is what will get him killed by overwork as emperor since he has no real head for delegation. It took 11 volumes and the intervention of most of his immediate family just to get jinshi to hire a secretary. The emperor always being free to host parties, sleep with the consorts, and bust jinshis balls in-between it all is, much like lakan always being free to annoy maomao, actually a sign of him being god-like at delegation and organizational management.
His lack of ego and willingness to look the fool if it gets the job done is great for avoiding political snafus and getting to the truth of things. It's genuinely the thing that makes all his expeditions to the western capital so wildly successful: he really doesn't gaf about how he's seen by the public, so long as the job gets done and his friends aren't in immediate danger. It's also the exact opposite of what you need from a head of state who's legitimacy is not-insignificantly based on the public perceiving you as an instrument of the will of heaven. The emperor being willing to kill people and their families over slights jinshi (and most sane human beings) would be willing to let slide is cruel and inhuman, but it's also what keeps the populace at large from being able to organize against him and challenge the imperial power.
Jinshis compassionate streak, his urge to save as many people he can and find the best solution for everyone possible, makes him great to work for. He'll give you assignments that match your hyper fixation, work around your crippling social anxiety, give you a post that just-so-happens to involve you staying with the love of your life for a few months. More over, he isn't gonna risk his life and your position over petty ego or greed when he can find a peaceful solution instead. But the hesitation he feels at using people like tools, and his unwillingness to act if it means throwing people under the bus, is what will lead to death and destruction if he's the emperor. Especially in a time of war. The current emperor is willing to ruin lives and crush nations if it reaches a goal, advances an agenda.
Finally, jinshis loyalty, I'd say even more than his looks, is what draws people to him. He loves his toys, can't stand to give them up. It makes him a great romantic figure. But when you're the emperor, and you need to be willing and able to marry someone for political ends, produce as many heirs as possible regardless of who with, and set aside the feelings of those women for your own sake, that loyalty is poison.
Idk, so often in stories with these systems they sorta follow the logic of "if he's a good person he'll be a good leader." I think it's cool to have a series talk about how being a leader involves being EXTREMELY comfortable with being an asshole, for a myriad of reasons, and how someone being pleasant to work for wouldn't make them an effect monarch.
#its also important to note that despite all the shitty things the emperor is shown being/doing#he genuinely is portrayed as a well loved and effective leader#who does his best to reach his version of compassion#john mulaney has a good bit about working with celebrities for snl#and how in their world their version of polite/acceptable is very different and it can lead to tense situations#i think a lot of the emperor's actions are like that#like in a vacuum they're dick moves#but in the context of who he is and what his duties are you see why he does them#the apothecary diaries#jinshi#ka zuigetsu#spoilers

This loop has to be the one. Nevermind that you said it last loop, and the one before, and the one before that, and most of the ones before that. THIS was the one you'd stop the King in his tracks. You push a few of your many potions to the side to make room on your desk. None of them worked to stop him, so they were useless. He's still about twelve, fourteen? hours away, so you have enough time to make the bomb, eat and take a fat nap before you go pick a fight. Maybe this time, it'll work! It has to!
You've gotten better at making the Craft Bomb. It hasn't blown up on you before you intended to use it in... a long time. You can make it fast enough, now, for it to still be light outside! You've become silent while you work, which Mirabelle has told you is ''worrying'', but you don't see why it is. Are you really that loud? (Yes. You are.)
It's hard work. Soft light bathes your desk, your work, you. You reach out, past your potions, and grab your water bottle. Take a big swig, and
Hmm. That's not water.
How. HOW do you keep making this mistake. You look at the bottle in your hand, and sure enough, itās one of the potions; your water bottle is shoved in the back of the collection of other containers. The taste is caustic, your throat begins to burn. You shouldnāt be this calm for having just drank something thatāll kill you in a handful of minutes, but itās happened before. Despite the pain you don't bother trying anything. Just push the finished bomb to the side and lay your face against the wood of the table. Feel the blood start to pool in your mouth and dribbling out, staining the wood. Mirabelle, or Euphie or whoever comes in next, they can use it this loop. It's not the first time you've drank one of the many, many dangerous potions on your desk, and it's probably not the last. Maybe you'll actually clean the crabbing thing off before you work.
Whatever. You have next time. You have all the time.
Perhaps a bit too much, actually.

Self-Injury in Teen Wolf
āA Hideous Torture on Himselfā: Madness and Self-Mutilation in Victorian Literature by Sarah Chaney / Representing the Unrepresentable: Self-Harm as Affect by Laura Wilson / Damaging the Body Politic: Self-Mutilation as Spectacle by Alexandra Gray
Written for @teenwolf-metaās Meta May Monday theme: pain.
The idea of pain making you human was introduced into the show when Derek said "AndĀ that'sĀ what keeps you human-Ā pain." to Scott in the season one episode The Tell. It's a concept which is repeatedly brought up throughout the show and might actually be one of the more consistent facets of werewolf lore seen within the show.
When lycanthropic characters are incapable of relying on their anchor to tether them to their human side, they can instead draw on their own pain, often self-inflicted, to avoid the consequences of shifting. Throughout the show the character shown to utilize this the most is Liam. He's often incapable of controlling his anger and as a result is incapable of keeping in touch with his humanity, meaning that he's pushed to the edge of self-injury more often than other characters.
Another instance where we see characters inflict injury on themselves, or others, is when they need to trigger their healing. As seen in the season four finale when Kira is unable to heal after being attacked by berserker-Scott, where she then has to cut up her hand with a shard of obsidian for the rest of her body to heal. This is interesting because it visualizes a clear disconnect between the body and the self, the self which needs to heal can only communicate this with the body through more pain and injury.
Lydia is also seen injuring herself in season two when she's being controlled by Peter. When she's awoken by her mother her sheets are covered in blood and it's then revealed that she punched her mirror with no recollection of it. This serves as a narrative red herring as it's revealed later in the same episode that the Kanima hates its own reflection, but on a personal level it also shows the viewer the disconnect Lydia is experiencing between herself and her mind.
#teen wolf#self injury#teen wolf meta#twmeta#twmetamay#scott mccall#lydia martin#liam dunbar#kira yukimura#web weave#webweaving#mine#teen wolf academia#tw self harm#anyways i love the role pain and injury plays in teen wolf particularly when it comes to the idea of being human#i could definitely talk about it for muuuuch longer#also the degree to which the were characters engage in self injury is soooo interesting to me#because as i said liam is the one who does it most often#scott is only seen doing it a few times the most notable at the beginning of 3b when he has no control over his shift#malia on the other hand never injures herself to stay in control possibly due to her being in a position where she's more accepting of her#animalistic tendencies#derek and peter also never do it#most likely as a result of them being born wolves raised with the knowledge of werewolves leading them to being more in control generally

So, this parallel, right.
That parallel and the 4x11 shadowpeach fight as a whole:
Macaque: "No that's YOU! You're the one always running off! Looking for more power, more sources of immortalityāyou're the one who wouldn't quit while were were ahead! Not the great sage, he's got to drag EVERYONE else into his mess!" Sun Wukong: "You're not in this mess, you're still free! Everything I did was for us!" Macaque: "You did it for yourself! You've become like this, obsessive demon! I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea, but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone! He just does whatever he wants! You put yourself here, not me."
(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)
-
A large part of Wukong's motivation to keep getting more power was the freedom of itāthe more power you have the easier it is to do whatever you want. It's easier to ignore everyone else and focus solely on yourself. It's also easier to ensure yourself and your loved one's are protected and have the ability to do what they want.
So, a punishment where the great Monkey King is imprisoned and trapped for hundreds of years? It's effective and tragic and fitting. Wukong wanted to have the freedom to protect the people he cared about, and in trying to reach for the power to do that, he completely had his freedom removed. He went from the mountain, to then the circlet, and then all of a sudden he had morals and was bound to those.
And then I think about his end of s3 choice to go face the Lady Bone Demon alone. Once again Wukong was trying to protect his loved ones (not to mention the whole reason he went after the Samadhi fire to begin with was to have the power, the freedom to stop LBD (which in itself is another case of SWK believing he needed to be stronger for such freedom)), but he also wanted to make sure MK and himself both had agency. He didn't want MK to have to fight LBD, and he didn't want LBD to end the world.
This is exactly the sentiment he tells Macaque in the 4x11 flashback:
Sun Wukong: "It's so we don't have to worry about anything or anyone ever again! Just living a lazy life, sitting in the sun, eatin' fruit, and doing whatever we want!"
But where does it all lead him?
To possession, imprisonment. Once again Wukong no longer had the freedom to do what he wanted (which is to protect the people he cares about). Once again in his attempts to help his loved one's, he only hurt them.
This can be applied to his relationship with Macaque, to MK in s2, hell, even Wukong trying to get the map in the first place left him powerless, which then led to him and the gang being imprisoned in 3x02. It's a familiar pattern, one we see with antagonist and protagonist alike.
MK in s2 trained to become more powerful, which in the end only strengthened LBD and forced him and his friends on the run. Mei in 3x12 protects MK by letting herself get captured and placed into LBD's crystal. Mei in 4x05 goes to protect MK, breaking her sword and leaving her vulnerable to being captured by Kui Mulang ("How am I supposed to protect everyone without my sword?"). DBK reached for more power and then became possessed by LBD, hurting his wife and son. Azure reached for the Jade Emperor's power and bound himself to that role, jeopardizing Peng and Yellowtusk in the process.
It's a cycle of reaching for power, endangering others, and then being imprisoned.
So anyways, here's why MK is going to lose control (his agency) next season and hurt his friends with his own- *get's shot*
#*cough cough* shut up this isn't similar to Callum and Viren from tdp at all.#Ignore everything I said about the reach for power to have freedom and that leading to consequences. Shhhhhhh#anyways GOSH HMMM THE CHARACTER ARCS YAY#I LOVE WHEN THEMATICALLY RELEVANT THINGS HAPPEN TO CHARACTERS#Like. It's not just ''Wukong got possessed'' it's how Wukong getting possessed plays into his character and the show as a whole#Which is why lmk is so good#A league above the rest#Ignore that this is also the exact same thing that happens to Callum with possession. Shhhhh.#But y'all get my point#So anyways in reaching for power and having the agency to protect those you care about#And continuing Mei and SWK parallels#I think it would be neat if Mei accepted the Samadhi fire again to protect her friends for whatever reason#It'd also be neat if she did it specifically to fight MK/get him back#Like teehee that would be so cool#Am I saying MK next season might very well parallel possessed Wukong? yes that's exactly what I'm saying.#lmk SWK#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk analysis#you know what executive decision tag#hero mei warrior mk

one Draco/Percy soulmate au concept I've had stuck in my head for a very long time is them meeting like super young
Like I'm talking no way to hide it because they're too young to realize that maybe they should
Like Draco barely remembers life before meeting his soulmate young
Point is Draco is not like as mean in this world because of having a good influence
Anyway all that preamble to say I'm thinking about Draco being kind of insufferable about his Soulmate being a prefect and then head boy
like anytime a professor tells the students to follow their prefects somewhere he is immediately at Percy's side instead of you know the actual Prefect he's meant to follow because "You're my prefect" type bs reasoning
and mixing that concept with the whole you can visit your soulmate in their house concept that i really like and you can pull alot of nonsense in those first three years
#percy weasley#draco malfoy#Draco Malfoy/Percy Weasley#We are going with the assumption that Lucius and Narcissa don't really like keep them apart#because it doesn't make sense for them too in a soulmate au to me unless said soulmate was like not a pure blood#Are they happy its a Weasley? No not really. Are they willing to accept it because Family is family and at least he's pure blood? yeah#also if add a sprinkle of in universe losing your soulmate can lead to insanity or something dangerous like that#Then yet another reason to just have them complying#Though I've also been playing in my head with the concept that their parents actually legit got rid of their soulmates because they were#you know not good enough in their eyes and that that plays a part in it too#Like they made a deal with each other to be accepting of anyone it was as long as they were pure or something#Though Percy is 100% expected to take the Malfoy last name#have i made a post like this before??#i cant remember#i have so many soulmate thoughts about these two#would love to do something with them#but most likely will not#Elise's Thoughts and Concepts
