#EITHEF WAY

hihi zevie! adding onto the anon's windbreaker boys' hands ask, do you have any hcs for sakura and togame by any chance u//////u

HI NONNIE !!!! 🫂🤍 let meeee think lemme think hm hmm hmmmm

for togame, BIG. i believe he’s also 6’2? maybe off topic but i think about him towering over you with a stare … a very subtle tilt of the head and he’s going “hmm” and then his hand is suddenly covering the entirety of your head. > < he just wanted to see if his hands were bigger than your head.

also! fidgeting with his fingers in bed. they’re pretty thick…. still long though. he’s always got an arm draped over you, but he positions himself in a way where his hand can be right in front of you. likes seeing you touch his fingers ^ ^

for sakura … his hands (off topic again) seemed to be clenched into fists a lot of the time. or shoved deep into his pockets. the first time you take his hands out to open them and plant kisses on them …. he’s so red— but it doesn’t take him very long to learn that he really enjoys your hands touching his own! so think: pinkies brushing, a finger gently tapping at your wrist… little things as a silent plea for you to hold his hands again.

(Sorry if you’ve already answered this, I’m new, but) out of curiosity, where do you stand on the fault spectrum between Blitz and Stolas? No hate either way, just wondering.

i dont rlly think eithef them are fully at fault or fully blameless, its just a big mess of miscommunication and insecurities lol. stol has now realized his own faults in this and tried to kinda make up for it but since blitz hasnt fully yet (but hes on his way, hes at least reflecting and stuff) its all still a big mess. very interested to see where it goes tho :]

Karaites are not a were (there are probably around 50,000 of them today), and they aren't biblical literalists. Karaites still interpret the Torah. They do not try to read the most obvious meaning out of it (which is still interpretation), they try to read what would have been obvious in Antiquity (which is also interpretation). Community leaders may often be Ḥakhamim (scholars) who are consulted regarding the Torah, and in the past compiled volumes of different interpretations (most have been lost). However, the only exaltation they have, to my understanding, is as scholars, filling an advising role. Every Jew in Karaite Judaism is encouraged to study the Torah and interpret it. All interpretations are held to the same scrutiny. The interpretations I've read from Karaites can be very satisfyingly logical (such as the "Tekhelet is woad" argument).

They reject that the Talmud is equal to or above the Torah, and I've seen a few different opinions from Karaites about what that means. One person I've bumped into said you shouldn't consult the Talmud at all, but the stance on the official site for American Karaites is as follows: "Rejection of the authority of the Talmud does not mean that the Karaites consider it unlawful to consult it or to rely on it; it means only that they deny its heavenly origin and regard it as an original work of the Sages in interpretation of the written Torah, and therefore subject to the shortcomings inherent in any handiwork of mortal men uninspired by heaven." Not to be controversial or anything, but I agree with them on that point. Further, that which directly contradicts the Torah is to be discarded as a custom, which is a contention with some Talmudic interpretations.

The rejection of the Talmud wasn't done for shits and giggles- it was likely a political choice reacting to the introduction of Islam, or in reaction to the consolidation of power among rabbis and how difficult the Talmud and additional interpretations risked becoming to learn, preserve, and transmit. There's a reason Sa'adiah Gaon was praised because “Were it not for Sa’adiah, the Torah might have disappeared from the midst of Israel", and it is notable that he was also a major opponent of Karaites. We don't actually know, because figuring out the beginning of Karaite Judaism is hard- some say it was a dispute over the Exilarch position (which Karaites say is made up, and some contemporary sources lack mention of), we have a document from 641 (i.e. the previous century) mentioning Karaites in Egypt, some think they were connected to Philo, others to some other group. But you don't break off from a major sect of your religion for fun!

Further calling Karaites biblical literalists invites one to think of Christian biblical literalists, which really isn't the case. For example in some ways Karaite women have better protections than Rabbinic women- they can initiate divorces! And if necessary, a court could issue a divorce order by itself. Fundamentalist can be a more accurate term, but still implies something false- Karaites did not arise in reaction to modernism, secularism, liberalism, etc. Most religious scholars will tell you fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon. Karaites are a decidedly, very old community. Further, "fundamentalist", in most cases, is being used as a pejorative for Karaites, not intended as an accurate description. People who don't use eithef of these terms also like to use the word "extremist".

I really tried to give rings of power a fair shot but y'all wtf was this week's episode

[sunspot-illustrations]

I always wanna hear about the GreenRose AU 👀👀

ALRIGHT!

So I acutally thought of something for Po3 and OoTs and I really like it!

Hollyleaf is the daughter Crowfeather and Squirrelflight, while Jayflight and Eagleblaze (Lionblaze cause I wanted the 3 to all have bird names tbh) are Leafpool's kits. Their other parent is purposely left unknown (mainly cause I couldn't choose and their relationship with Leafpool is more important anyways).

Breezepelt may or may not be Hollyleaf's full brother with Nightcloud posing as his mom but I'm still debating that.

Anyways, the reason Hollyleaf isn't apart of the prophecy is because she isn't the child of a seer (ie Leafpool, a cat claimed and trained by Starclan themselves and given a 'Spark' that without proper training can get wildly out of control or 'overpowered' like the Three's powers). BUT, you're probably wondering "Trell what about Dovewing and Ivypool? Are they seer kids too?" YES YES THEY ARE.

Ivypool and Dovewing's mother is still Whitewing, even tho them being related to Sandstar/Fireheart dosen't acutally matter in this au, but their father is Sol! During his brief time in skyclan Sol was chosen by Starclan to be Skyclan's first seer and he while he was trained and gifted his own 'Spark' he was still exiled from Skyclan for whatever reason (he either still lead a fox to camp or the power went to his head so they kicked him out). Sol's Spark, which usaully is an extention of the senses, was clairvoyance making him an acutal prophet. So he learns about the prophecy of the Three and that Hollyleaf isn't apart of it because she lacks a spark, so he decided to 'court' and sire Whitewing who didn't have a lot of options in Thunderclan and wanted to have kits anyways. Sol dose this so he can try and sway the three in his favor to get revenge on the clans and have 3 super powdered cats under his thumb.

Dovewing still has her power of super hearing and sight but Ivypool has Jay's Astral Projection power and finds out pretty late in the game that she's had the power of going into Starclan/The Dark Forest/The Everstill/Dreams in genral at her own free will. The Flower Meadow she met Hawkfrost in was acutal a place of her own creation and it was just her until Hawkfrost managed to stumble on it one day after Ivypaw heard a story about him.

So yeah, I have ideas. I'm still debating what this will all change (I'm debating going past OoTs cause I would SO have Dove and Brair move to skyclan in Avos) but I like the ideas I have so far!

kekeke

thought not so long ago bout some godfather thing & idk how it worked for american italians & have no idea how it was shown in like godfather that is the book/film

but its an interesting thing ok i admit. thought that maybe if i'll settle on a version that eddie's cousin father was mafioso & moretti's friend and was a very important part of the family then maybe i'd like moretti to be her godfather. because:

"The rite of baptism makes the father of the child and the godfather compari - "co-fathers". This is an extremely significant event, even the brothers who became comparis are forced to abandon the usual "tu" and switch to the official "voi". Until the end of their days, "co-fathers" are obliged to fulfill each other's requests - requests of any kind. The peasants loved to talk about the terrible torments that John the Baptist, the patron saint of compari, inflicted on those who betray their "co-fathers".

This social institution called "comparatico" acts like glue - it expands blood ties, ensures friendship, peace and cooperation. The two who fought with knives could well have given up bloodshed and become comparis in order to avoid a skirmish that could damage the families of both.

A successful choice of a godfather for a child could bring work in the sulfur mines, a land plot for rent, a loan or alms.

However, the position of the godfather required a lot. The Sicilian expression "fari i cumpari" ("to behave like a co-father") also means a person who is ready to participate in an illegal enterprise, to help commit a crime. The bond between comparis holds society together, but also unites people with criminal interests. Mafiosi often bond within an organization by becoming comparis."

^ actually way deeper than i imagined & co-fathers - what an insane term. but bout eddie's cousin - this thought even seems pretty organic? since she's canonnicaly married to clemente's soldier and her cousin is well. eddie. woman was surrounded by crime all the way & just can be interesting dynamic w moretti (and also smth that will make both more human)

& i hc that she was born in 1903 or 1904 smth like that. so moretti wanting to become a compari w another mafioso makes many sense (since canonically he organized his own crime family only in 1913). Maybe it happened in america but maybe back in sicily - not sure bc i need to think bout plot/timeline/general connections

but anyway eddie's cousin probly gotta be the most protected ass in this goddamn story

upd.

a) she's very neutral bout crime & i think there might be some sicilian thing bout bonds

b) need to think bout the point below:

it'd also make sense if cecilio (eddie's father) would become a compari - but only in theory, bc there's a super complicated relationships between lisa (eddie's mother) and her family - mostly bc of cecilio (man breaks woman's life again. classics). cecilio either refused (which only made things worse) eithef no one even suggested it (also made things worse) <- looked at my notes & it doesnt fit into the timeline bc lisa & cecilio met only in 1906/7. But maybe i'll change it (maybe not)

c) moretti & eddie's cousin father probly were from different places + from different sicilian families - adds more sense to becoming a compari. They probly didn't even know eachother -that- well, but it was just a good desicion from the practical point of view. Im so smart

upd2. i think its a good desicion also bc it might help to spot the differences between sicilian mindset/american (both & less traditionalist to speak shortly but more complicated actually)

upd3. Wanted to write a story bout capo killing his boss w/o any mercy bc he dgaf but ended up w some "fathers and children" by turgenev shit

also eddie's cousin core

have y'all seen this bone stealing incident? white woman on tumblr collects /human remains/ and bought the skeleton of an asian woman taken from a university at a flea market. she's touting them around like some sort of prize which is horrifying. it's a crystal clear demonstration of white sociopathy in action and i am in so much distress over it all. they think basic human morality is an opinion that they can "disagree with." i hope her soul can rest in spite of this monumental disrespect.

Please don't believe everything you read on the internet ~mod ara

[maedaymayhem]

On the other hand regarding Harry Potter, I’m going to a fuckin orchestra on Friday which will be all on Harry Potter music and I’m so excited it’s so cool.

I mean it’s probably the dorkiest thing to think that going to an orchestra is cool but fuck you it is cool.

[ama-hates-julian]

Me, reading my own fics: Damn I wish this author would post some more

Me @ myself:

[theultimaterenegade]

I ain't gonna lie I am getting to the point where I am about to keep info to myself. Cause I feel like no one wants to acknowledge what I say. I know I can't articulate my words in the best way and I know there's things I don't know but once I do the research and provide proof people eithef don't want the proof or see the proof but they minds aren't changed. I don't mind disagreements but damn at least think about what I said....act like I can't pass down some knowledge. I have been patient with people but my patience is running dry and I am starting to get pissed off. I have been seeing things and studying some things ans its changing my perspective of things. Seems like people can't understand that. Everytime I have conversation with people I let them get they thoughts and I try my best to understand them and if I disagree then I will politely say "hey I hear what u r say but I disagree and I will explain why" but when I say something its shunned or something. And I be having proof. I am not an expert at everything but I do common sense. I know I am not the smartest person to ever exist, I don't know everything but I am learning. Sometimes when Iearn something new sometimes I just wanna tell someone so they can learn or think about it. I really be thinking about things, I question things, I am critical about things, I can emphasize, I have foresight....but I guess that don't matter. Guess I am just to different. Too hard to understand. Well....I guess I will do this...only time imma speak my opinion is when someone asks me...if not imma just stay quiet...I ain't gonna argue with no one...if you disagree with me imma just so argue and you do whatever. I ain't gonna convience or nothing. You can go ahead abd learn the hard way and figure it out on your own and imma keep my mouth shut and keep the info to myself. Since I have to just listen to everyone and no one will listen to me. Cause when I was younger I was treated like I was dumb and didn't know anything know soon as I know some things everyone wanna cover they ears and shun me and shit.

Jonsa fans don't believe that Jon ever loved Daenerys as I've noticed . Abd I tend to agree. Eithef Kit is an aegul actor or yhe script simply didn't make him look in love. Maximum he had some lust mixed with cautious respect. Never love or even strong crush. Maybe he felt more fondness and gratefulness after saving. However, do you think Daenerys loved him? Was she able to truly love anyone?

Dear nonny,

Kit does know how to act in love. Even if you maintain that he was good at playing in love in the Ygritte arc because he actually fell for Rose Leslie when they filmed, there is still Pompeii and Testament of youth, where he knew perfectly well how to play in love, and had chemistry with the female leads.

Of course and actor’s performance is always up to debate. Even acclaimed actors like Meryl Streep might not convey everything they want all the time. Still, what I got from Kit’s acting was that he took a dislike to her at their very first meeting, but then proceeded to treat her with caution and persuasion (in the cave). When that did not work to make her fulfill her damn duty to protect the realm she wanted to rule, he went on a suicide mission just to get away from her. When he woke on that boat which was bent south, he knew he had to go all the way. Pledge allegiance so that she would finally be committed. I do think that lust might have come into it, when he knocked on that door, but the way boatsex was filmed, I still tend to interpret it as Political Jon.

I think, he then decided, that he had given his word and that for once in his life, he would stand by his word, and that all his actions in season 8 there those of Sacrificial (if incredibly dumb) Jon. We still saw some of Kit’s micro expressions, when he was unobserved by Dany (like at the war council when his eyes tightened when she said something stupid) or after the feast, when she came to his chamber and his back was to her.

As for Dany... I like to call it infatuation. She was more in love with what she thought Jon was: someone ‘special’ like her. Someone who would be a price for her. Someone who would add to her own glory. If someone who came back from the dead is her lover, she must be special as well, a jewel in her own crown so to say. Through him she can show herself to be oh so generous and help the North in Jon’s war. As with every narcissist, her relationship with Jon is about her, and then she even becomes abusive. She demands (!) of him to love her and her goals (which are nothing to him) more than his own family. I do think that one of the reasons she blames Sansa for the truth getting out, is that she ultimately feels betrayed that Jon did not keep his mouth shut, but she probably knows, that she has asked too much of him, and therefore she lashes out against Sansa. The fact that she lashes out against Sansa is maybe a sign, that she still cares about Jon. She is like the goddess Hera who kills her husband’s lovers but never threatens her husband. So, she wants to get back at him for betraying her and yet she still wants to keep him (as a trophy?).

So, that is not love, it is her need to be worshipped. Like every narcisssist she needs to come first.... All the time.... And woe to the people who show her that they put others before her. It is no wonder, that Dany had the feeling that it was only Jorah who loved her truly.

Thanks for the ask!

[keepmeinprayer]

Dude I just wanna cry like when are people gonna stop being so selfish and realize that their wants are not as important as what the majority needs? I’m so frustrated, annoyed, and angry because people won’t care about stuff until it affects them.
