#Hope ye don't mind me here

Pariah Dark is livid.

You would think, after a period of forever sleep, it would be a monumental feat to make him tired. Even more so when you add onto the fact his stamina and endurance is nothing to scoff at either.

But somehow, these three ghostlings manage to achieve that and more.

He is torn between pride at the ability that they managed to get him in a state his enemies could only dream of and the despair that came with the fact he'll have to do this every time when he wants them to sleep.

But finally, finally! After so much effort, he was able to put them down for a nap. He was so, so close, all that he needed to do was have Danny shut his eyes and-

No.

No.

No way in the Infinite-

Who dared to summon him! Now of all times especially! And why couldn't he resist-

Ah. Because he hasn't been summoned in a while.

How. Unfortunate.

At least Danny is-

Wait- Wait no. Danny. Danny close your eyes. Don't widen them! No- Danny no!

The last thing he heard was the wail of a 'ling, and the accompanying dread that came with the realization the other two are going to wake back up and then he'll have to do it all over again.

So when he appeared in front of the cultists, who gave him far more trouble than he realized. He gave them all of the utter contempt, rage, and tired exasperation he could ever muster.

(Amplified by his newfound tired fatherhood)

“Do any of you imbeciles know how long it takes to get ghostlings to sleep-” 

Okay. So they maaaay have fucked up.

A lot.

Look, look. They didn't know it work and-

Wait what?

"You're a dilf???" John, the current head idiot of the weak blurted out rather intelligently.

The Ghost King paused. Very audibly. Somehow. And stared at the head idiot incredulously.

"What." The Ghost King also, spat out, intelligently.

John, local bullshitter extraordinaire, decides to pull an explanation straight out of his ass.

"You know. Since you talked about ghostlings -which I assume are baby ghosts- that they're obviously yours since you know, why else would you, the Ghost King, be taking care of them?" John cleared his throat. "So, you're their dad. I.E. Making you, sir Ghost King sir, a dilf."

The Ghost King stared at John for a good, long moment. Clearly struggling to understand what the hell is even happening.

"John, what the fuck are you doing." Clara, the head idiot for next week hissed at John. Who whispered back. "Saving our fucking asses that's what-"

"What is a dilf." The Ghost King commanded. "Explain to me what that is."

Everyone went very, very quiet.

Except John, who, again, bullshitter extraordinaire went. "Dad Infants Love Forever." Very, very confidently.

There is no way that is going to work-

"Truly?" The Ghost King asked, actually smiling. "How wonderful, I am a dilf, then!"

What-

"So, my dear very good dilf." John, shamelessly, continued on. "It seems to me that you're having problems with your little 'lings back home, let me guess. Wife too busy at work and thus dumped the responsibility of raising them primarily on you? And you, being the absolute best husband in the existence of ever, decided to take said burden off your wife's shoulders but are woefully unprepared?"

The Ghost King paused, thinking it over before nodding. "Yes, I suppose so."

"Well!" John clapped his hands together, giving the King his very best smile. "Do I have the solution for you!" He then pivoted on the spot, pointing out to a random idiot.

"Cassidy! Get the parenting books!"

Prompt 345

Let it be known that none of them actually expected the idiots’ of the week’s ritual to work. The summoning hadn’t worked for literal centuries- everyone knew it had been sealed away, presumably forever!

(Of course they had no way to know that in the Infinite Realms actually used the term forever as a measurement of time, what with how time itself wasn’t particularly linear within. And to beings that could hypothetically live for eternity? Forever was a nice vacation time really) 

So maybe they hadn’t been exactly focused on stopping the ritual as much as they could of been, and by the time they realized it was working, well, it’d been a bit too late then. So yes, mistakes had perhaps in fact, been made. 

First had come the chill, the cold of the ground as your body was lowered down, the cold of your blood dripping from your living corpse. Then came the shadows, the darkness creeping along their vision as their soul slipped from their body. Followed by boiling heat, flames scorching through their flesh and tearing from their chests like a blade piercing their hearts. 

The form that emerged was massive, a cloak dripping crimson fluttering in the wind of an unseen battlefield, verdant flames licking at the air and causing the surrounding shadows to writhe. A dark growl echoed through the building, the stone below them shaking while deathly green eyes glowered down at the living with utter contempt. 

“Do any of you imbeciles know how long it takes to get ghostlings to sleep-”

[nulltune]

old edits _(:3」∠)_ but i like imagining hakuno in different hairstyles HNGGHH 😩😩❤️💗💓💞 would she ever style her hair tho? sadly no </3 she thinks she's too plain for that + doesn't care about her appearance outside of just enough to look neat and presentable (we do see her hair in low twintails if she needs em tied up tho! tis a very cute look 🫶)

bUT LIKE- if someone wants to play with her hair or style her up then 👀 hakuno vc i don't mind. (<- girl who tends to go along with what others' want because she has no desires of her own tbh-) (METHINKS IT HAS DA POTENTIAL TO BE SO WHOLESOME THOOO and her hair's long and silky yknow ✨️ it'd b nice 2 touch ! 😌✨️) or alternatively- let hakuno do your muse's hair! ✨️ (she brushed nero's hair in last encore and it was such a soft moment it must've been so nice 🥺❤️)

casey also talks about sepang 2015 what do you think of that

oh in that podcast? uh... lemme listen again...

yeah idk it's not really anything new I'd say? he's said basically all the same stuff in more interesting and extensive ways elsewhere. I think casey inevitably has a very 'well feuding is bad and helps nobody' point of view, has expressed that before in the past, does it here again, and he's also drawn a parallel between himself and marc on several occasions. which... well, of course there's similarities in terms of public discourse or whatever, but the parallel really falls apart whenever casey argues the feuds cost valentino. like, I do think it's sometimes important to just. keep in mind. it's interesting that casey draws this comparison in his mind but that doesn't necessarily means he's right about this. I'm not sure how you'd argue that starting a feud with casey cost valentino anything competitively? you can argue it didn't help him I guess, and then we can have a debate about the ins and outs of the 2008 season. we can also have an argument that in a hypothetical world where casey isn't ill in 2009, valentino doesn't break his leg and casey isn't on a piece of junk in 2010, and valentino isn't on a piece of junk in 2011-12, then actually maybe valentino sparking open animosity with casey COULD have cost him. but we don't know that! didn't happen! I wish we could have found out, but we never got the chance! as it stands, the tally on this is pretty straightforward: casey won the title when things were reasonably civil between them in 2007, and valentino took control of the following season at the exact moment he worsened the relationship between the pair of them in 2008. obviously, it's all more complicated than that and casey would of course argue laguna didn't negatively affect his subsequent performances... but it certainly didn't help them. like, at the very worst valentino escalating tensions in 2008 is a complete net neutral. after 2009, them being bitchy to each other every other tuesday was completely competitively irrelevant beyond maybe affecting how they approached occasionally fighting for a podium position. hey, maybe casey used that feud to fire himself up through sheer spite throughout the later stages of his career, but that doesn't actually support his anti-feud stance - it's basically the exact same thing as what valentino does. they're both quite similar in that regard! always so hungry to prove a point, to show how someone else is wrong. kinda half the point with this feuding business is to get yourself going, get yourself motivated, yeah. he straight up openly admits to using yamaha's repeat rejection of him as a way of giving himself motivation, and at the end of the day that's really not all that different?

anyway, what else does casey say... oh yeah, that him and the other aliens were already kinda prepared for this and had learned vale's tricks. that valentino had only been able to get into the minds of the previous generation. welllllll *wiggles hand* sure, I mean, he did clearly have to change his approach... he couldn't just use the exact same playbook to get to them, either on-track or off-track. but that's why he did change up the playbook... again, whether you want to believe valentino won his final two titles 'in the head' rather than just through pure pace kinda depends on how you assess the evidence, but it is at the very least a debate. and, y'know, it's always worth remembering that valentino's most important mind games with casey didn't happen in a press conference... it was on the track. and the on-track stuff really is just embedded in how valentino approaches winning. speaking of aliens, this is what dani and jorge have said:

like, valentino's entire approach to his riding, even to the way he's setting his bike up, is deliberately about directly fucking with you... he's not actually always trying to be faster than you as much as he's trying to give himself the tools to make your life miserable, to pressure you into mistakes, etc etc... and again, especially with casey (if anything because he was so mentally sturdy), the off-track stuff was really just window dressing. (I know they bicker a lot after 2009 but it's just so fundamentally irrelevant to actual on-track competition.) so you can be aware of those tricks, but it also doesn't necessarily help you when someone's being nasty to you on-track in a way you just fully do not enjoy. which is what it was like for casey! for casey, a lot of this comes back to the truly unpleasant context of how he was perceived by the public, how he was treated as mentally weak or 'broken' or whatever partly because he had the misfortune of coming up against a bloke who had the reputation for breaking rivals. I think it's quite natural to end up with a bit of a hardliner 'actually I've never been mentally affected by a result in my life' stance - and of course casey is a lot tougher than a lot of people give him credit for. that being said. sometimes your rivals affect you, shit happens, it's part of the game. it's fundamentally a nice idea to think that valentino's tactics weren't just morally wrong but also ineffective, which is kind of the appeal of this narrative, right? you want to believe you're above that, you want to believe you were adequately prepared and wise to valentino's tactic. it's unsurprising and understandable that casey does tend to tell the story that way, but again it's *wiggles hand* also hard to describe it as completely factual

uh. what else. oh I'm thrilled casey does canonically know valentino and marc were friends, he has said he wasn't following motogp too much during that time period so you couldn't be sure of that. does this mean anything? does it tell you anything? well, no, but it's just a pleasing thought to me. I like that. oh also 'provoking particularly aggressive riders isn't a good idea' is kinda a funny take from casey? like, he of all people would hate the idea of being cowed by someone's reputation like that... casey's right that provoking fast riders can potentially be dangerous, but y'know I do think that's probably not news to anyone almost nine years later. um. that's all I've got I think

[thehealingsystem]

i'm so fucking irritating with this but dear god I want to kill myself so bad. Day after day after day I am reminded of what I am and that I can't fix myself. It's getting worse again and everyday is getting harder to just live through. I don't even know why part of me still imagines things getting better, that people even still care, i'm an obsessive freak that deserves to be put down. Nobody cares if I don't show up the next say or ever again. I destroyed everything even in my attempts to preserve it. I don't do anything with my life, my cutting has gotten worse, I barely eat most days, I cry multiple times a day and cry myself to sleep many nights. I have nightmares literally just about what I experience every day. I layed down on the couch today and cried to myself how much I wanted to die. If I tell anyone this i'm just gonna get in trouble and not actually helped, because that's what happens every single time and no one's gonna believe me when I say there's something wrong with me. I'm trapped and there's no place to go other than hell. there's nothing anyone tumblr is gonna be able to do to help me but I literally have no one to tell. most shit just festers inside me and I can't even articulate what's happening in my head most of the time. even now

Guizhong is not maternal. Guizhong is not maternal. Guizhong is not maternal. I know that this is a popular fanon take (especially pre-Lantern Rite 2023), but it's so important to me that people know that, based on what I find canon to present, that this is not an angle that I'll be playing into whatsoever on this blog. Prime example of, fanon will often not be adhered to, I think my run-ins never really play out in favour of, well, fanon. In essence:

Guizhong's curiosity and wonderment of Teyvat can best be compared to that of a child as they experience new things in life. You know when you witness a child experience something for the first time, how their eyes brighten, how they yearn to touch whatever it is that's mesmerising them, how you can hardly pull them away? That is Guizhong through and through.

She is a caring individual, but she is not soft in your traditional way. She'll build one's character through challenge, jest and overall playfulness. Comfort is offered in a similar way, it will be through a lightheartedness and sometimes, it can (and will) have adverse reactions/will backfire, surely. Remember, regardless of how one perceives Morax and Guizhong's dynamic, she had to keep up with him (or vice versa), for them to have ruled alongside one another as they did with the stoic personality that we know that he did.

To elaborate on the former point, she is wildly competitive, in all aspects of her existence. She will endeavour to win games minor or major (and absolutely, she could cheat; but will avoid it, because it's hardly as satisfying), to out-do Cloud Retainer in their mechanical discussions and capabilities, the Cleansing Bell is almost a competition within itself with Streetward Rambler— even in jest, she will attempt to outdo. It's all in good fun, but it is also inherently in her nature.

She smiles and laughs a lot, and it's likely why the glaze lilies bloom as abundantly as they do in the midst of this little goddess of dust. And frankly, just like children thrive in the joy of others— she is much like her lilies, and thus thrives in the same circumstances and surroundings as them. But in this, it's also important to note that a lot of her lightheartedness towards others is also to bring the same to others: smiles, laughter and joy.

a little cw for death mention, but I promise it's more of a fond way than upsetting! we of Mexican heritage celebrate dia de los muertos (day of the dead) on nov 1-2 by remembering deceased relatives and friends. and i thought about sharing the ofrenda my family did for dia de los muertos 💀🕯️🌹

i don't usually do this because i never really felt connected with my deceased relatives until my dog passed away in aug 2019 ♡ so I felt moved to share it here, sorry about the religious decorations pfff- but my family is all about that :')

here is the ofrenda lit up on the night of Nov 1 and the ofrenda today on the morning of Nov 2 🕯️

The more I think about Sofiya (my MC) and Leander's relationship, the more I just think how I always manage to pair the most deeply trust issued character with that one character who asks/demands you to trust them.

Sofiya's trust issues are very deeply rooted after getting backstabbed by someone who's pretty much her platonic soulmate, and she's left basically all alone. She has no one else.

Then enter Leander. Someone who can withstand her curse and offers her his help more than generously. She's overwhelmed, confused and suspicious by all this, and yet she ends up falling for him. And she falls hard. And she absolutely refuses to admit it to herself because she thinks herself a naive idiot for falling so easily.

And yet she might be just desperate enough to trust someone again, desperate enough to have someone again, that she may just admit it. Even if this were to end badly for her.
