Hey I’ve read a little about the law and I kind of don’t care about it. I’ve manifested well without it and honestly it just seems like an over complication so I can still get into the void without using it, because most people do, but everyone on tumblr seems to disagree with that sentiment
Funny story, I actually shifted before I even properly leaned about the law.
I remember this one girl on Reddit who was a very popular shifter told everyone that the key to shifting was the law of assumption and Neville Goddard lectures. She shifted to Harry Potter after understanding his lectures and it only took her only a week after being on her journey for two years.
At this point, I was sooo depressed and down bad to shift. I had tried every single method under the sun on Reddit, Quora, amino, YouTube, and others methods derived from religion….so her telling me this man was my key was an absolute dream. Again I was down bad, so atp I would have eaten cow shit if that’s what it took to shift 😭😭 it is maddening thinking about how depressed and obsessed I was with it but whatever I’m up now.
Anyways I still never really got into the law because it was boring and his lectures made me fall asleep at the time. I was like 17 and didn’t really care how or why shifting worked, I just wanted to escape tbh. Anyways I decided to actually take the law seriously but then the creator who introduced me to the law left Reddit and shifting media because she believed she was mentally ill, and shifting was fake and she had to get therapy.
I remember I hated Neville and the law of assumption after that so I dropped it, which is super funny to me because why was I blaming a dead man for this situation. I avoided it with my life and anytime someone recommended it to me I got unhealthily mad and told them to shut up probably idk. I was 17 and depressed and in a really bad place and that situation just made me spiral beyond anything and ruined my mental health.
Anyways I focused on manifesting better mental health and a better life after that,and shifted my attention to just intention which is literally the everything inside an assumption. I ended up shifting obviously and then I dove into the law out of curiosity because after I did it I just wanted to know.. I guess the logistics behind it because it was a cool phenomenon to me.
But this wasn’t until 6 months after I shifted and now.. well I obviously love the law and understand it and have a blog dedicated to it so I obviously use and recommend it!
What I will say is everything we learn with the law, 3D and 4D, dwelling in imaginations, states, affirm and persist, the ego, I am state, persistence, you know all that good jazz that I even talk about, is simply because we wanna learn and understand it properly. If you don’t want to use the law or whatever that’s fine but understanding assumption creates reality is the bases of everything.
Just understand that and it’s literally the same thing without all the other stuff lol. I guess that’s why I love intention! it’s the premise of everything we do. Intending, wanting, desiring, whatever and then assuming it to be true is so simple and it works. At least that’s how I shifted anyways. Regardless you use the law even if you’re not aware of it, and there are people entering the void, manifesting, and shifting without knowing the law so why would that be different for you?
So if you wanna use the void (which is literally within you, so hating it means hating your pure state of consciousness which is weird)why would the discussion about it even matter unless you assume it does anyways. Idk my perception around it is completely different since I have met a lot of people with experiences with the void (like my church friend who died) but not the way the tumblr girlies use it. It’s valid regardless!
Literally just assume whatever benefits you and resonates with you will work and it will work, point blank periodt.

Okay. This is going to be an extremely weird question, especially since I have the opposite mario alien tism
How would orbulon react to the shroobs :0 I'm just curious
NOT WEIRD i fucking love thinking about warioware's connection with the Greater Mario Universe, which I am also unhealthily obsessed with. In fact I'll do you one better:
ORBULON'S RANKINGS OF VARIOUS ALIENS IN THE MARIO SERIES*
*Not including things that are only aliens by virtue of being in mario galaxy
Shroobs
Tumblr media
Going to talk about them as a collective here (so this includes all shrooboids and shroobsworths and whatnot), but first of all I fucking love the shroobs. I think the concept of a fungus alien that weaponizes mycorrhizae is ingenious, and their blank little gaping mouth expression is hilarious. THAT BEING SAID, orbulon would be a little less receptive to them. Given that he's been trying to take over the world for 1000 years, and they almost conquered it in like 2 seconds, he would probably be scared shitless. 0/10 too scary
Tatanga
Tumblr media
A lot of people ask me about this one. "Would tatanga and orbulon be buddies? They are both aliens that worked for wario!" And to that I say no. Yes, they are both diminutive little aliens bent on conquering the world. However, so are Shroobs. Not only would orbulon be similarly intimidated by someone way more competent at doing so than his lazy ass, but tatanga, notably, does NOT respect women - he kidnapped the resident red-haired girl to try and force her to become his bride, something that would not fly with orbulon given that he is best friends with a red-haired girl and is also occassionally one himself. Furthermore, while Orbulon works for Wario because Wario offered him a place to stay in his hour of need and they are friends, Tatanga worked for Wario because he was really mad that their mutual enemy stopped him from forcing someone to become his bride. (This was also during Wario's evil phase, so he didn't really care about that as long as Mario got walloped. Which he didn't. Good going, Tatanga.) Fortunately, Orbulon never had to cross paths with tatanga due to my pet theory that he was asleep for the entirety of Super Mario Land. 2/10 incel
X-Nauts
Tumblr media
You may be sensing a pattern here. This is another one that Orbulon is not a fan of, but this is also one that he's actually around for. Unlike the invasion of the Shroobs, which he was around for but not invested in Earth beyond a potential conquest yet, or the invasion of Tatanga, which he was asleep for and didn't find out about until he woke up to a million missed notifications on his dashboard about Unknown Spacecrafts Near You, this happened around the events of Warioware Touched (if you decide to view mario games as happening concurrently with wario games released at the same time, which is a fun thought exercise if you ignore enough things.) SO, if we arranged the timeline just so, we could pretend that he had an experience like this:
Tumblr media
1/10 their advancements in synthetic organisms are fascinating
Squirps
Tumblr media
There is absolutely no chance of Squirps and Orbulon interacting or having interacted. Which is a shame, because they'd probably get along better than most aliens on this list. Squirps would probably regard Orbulon as a weird old man, despite technically being at most half a century younger than him. Orbulon would think he was a cute kid but likely be overwhelmed by his energy as Squirps runs laps around him (similar to Kat and Ana). 7/10 just make sure he doesn't bite you
E.C.
Tumblr media
10/10 they go out for drinks every friday

I took so long writing this may as well post it here after like a year of inactivity
Hazbin Hotel Voxval analysis (I am probably mischaracterizing and misinterpreting some stuff but, oh well) :
Listen I think Vox is a toxic and manipulative asshole as well, but the fact of the matter is that as far as we've seen, he's just your typical megalomanic ultra rich ceo who embodies capitalism almost to perfection. He's seen using some psychological manipulation techniques over on Val in episode 2, but those techniques seemed like a way for him to keep Val relatively calm, to avoid him doing shit and getting hurt or worse, and it seems like the main reason why he came up to Val was because Velvette told him to because Val was disturbing her. He wanted to avoid Velvette getting more annoyed and Val getting hurt, he manipulated Val to keep them and Velvette safe.
It's seen that Val, on the other hand, seems to be both physically, psychologically and emotionally abusive, as seen in episode 4 with angel, but also in that little scene in episode 2 where he throws a whole glass at Vox, which he does totally purposefully since he asked for another drink specifically to throw it at the TV man, a bit later into the scene he also grabs Vox's phone from his hand, slaps him, seemingly pretty hard, and smashes his phone against one of the pillars. And while Vox tried to calm him down and get him to not fuck up, Valentino is actively enabling and encouraging Vox's anger and annoyance.
Also include the Angel and Vox's poison dripping mouth in Poison
Also the noncanon Instagram accounts showed than on two different occasions, Valentino had purposefully broken Vox's screen by hitting him because he wasn't satisfied with what Vox did for/to him. Those accounts have been archived since and count as non canon, but have shown a lot of truth in the way they portrayed the characters, so one could keep that in mind
Vox is also shown to get jealous, especially about Angel, notably in the scene in episode 2 in which he enthusiastically asks if Angel quit, then being disappointed when Val responds he didn't. And also during Poison, where he seems disgruntled to see Angel looking at them
Considering all of those, it seems that Val and Vox are a toxic couple to it's peak, in which each of them think they're in control, people from the outside think they're destroying each other while really only one person (Val) seems to be absolutely ruining the other mentally. Vox is probably unhealthily in love and obsessed with Valentino, to the point where he keeps his cameras on him anytime he can. But Valentino only cares about Vox a fraction of how much cares about him, because he knows he's got him wrapped around his finger when he makes him believe he's in control of their relationship. Vox would probably crawl back to Valentino anytime they have an argument, even if Vox is the one being mistreated in that argument. What Valentino seems to care about is the power and money he can get from Vox, while also considering him a sort of entertainment when he gets mad.
Sure they maybe have their lighthearted and lovey dovey moments, because Valentino is *vaguely* in love with Vox, like in the last ep, but to me and from what I've observed, Vox is not innocent, but he is still one of the victims of Valentino

i have been ignored and overlooked for so many years now that i legitimately feel excited at the idea of someone being unhealthily obsessed with me. i had to beg for any resemblance of attention in a lot of my past relationships, and now i want someone to, let's call it, take on that role. like the borderline sick, obsessive, i only want you and nobody else, always and forever kind of love. i want them to be putting cute quotes on their blog with me specifically in mind, posting about how they can't stop thinking about me, and how they desperately want me to pay attention to them 24/7. i want them to bring me every small, stupid thing that reminded them of me. i want them to cling to and obsess over every single tiny detail they find out about me.
i don't care if that relationship would be unhealthy, all i care about is having someone love me with the same intensity i am capable of loving others.

hnnng i KNOW this won't be for a LOOOONG time yet, but i am so, SO stoked for Tim and Brian's first time bonkin' after thinking the other was dead for ten years, ESPECIALLY with them having been exes(?), so they know what the other likes/what they like to be called/where their favorite spots to be kissed are O_O also i'm kinda looking forward to the whole exploratory aspect now with Brian's injury and therefore hindered mobility (meaning they have to experiment to find positions/foreplay that works for them).
also, i'm curious; will we have a Brim-centric fic in the future (regardless of how distant) during/before the events of MH? my favorite parts of IIAB are the two of them pining for each other and doing a terrible job hiding it from the rest of the group <3
Oh god yeah I can't wait to write them getting back together after MH, it's gonna be so fucking fun, so cute and lovely and just AAAAA y'know? They're definitely technically exes after MH but not because they ever broke up, just because Brian was supposedly dead after uni, cos, y'know, Alex. I don't think they'd actually call each other exes, they just kinda lost touch, with both each other and with reality in Brian's case what with him becoming hoody for a whole lot of years.
It's gonna be SO fun writing them figuring each other out again, realising "hey this is the same" and "ooh that's different" and just figuring everything out, especially navigating Brian's disability and having a small child who has absolutely no qualms about barging into their room after bedtime 💀
They've got a lot to figure out, it's gonna be so cute
As for Brim-centric fics 👀
I currently have three planned, two with smut and one without.
The two with smut will be them back in Uni getting together for the first time at basically the exact same time Jay and Alex did (there's gonna be SO many parallels between uni Brim and uni Jaylex in that, both relationships starting in earnest at the same party, both are kept secret from the rest of their friends, but one relationship was healthy and the other was extremely not) and the one about them getting together again after MH is all over.
Then the one without smut isn't exactly brim centric as such, at least not romantically? Kinda?
It's about Tim getting out of the hospital at 16 and figuring out the whole 'being a normal teenager' thing, meeting Brian, becoming friends with him immediately, developing a crush on him and subsequently getting unhealthily attached to/obsessed with him to the point that he convinces himself Brian's a god on earth, so when he's struggling like hell with existing and coping with life, he ends up genuinely praying to him :D
I'm especially excited to write that one honestly lol 💀
Though I also have no idea if I'll be able to do it well. It's been like idk at least half a decade since I dealt with that specific type of religious whatever the fuck that is so I don't remember it super great, but I have dealt with the base of that religious whatever the fuck just without the "my crush is god made flesh!" part within the last year and a half so, fingers crossed I can put that chaos into words 😬
I'm gonna make Tim so mentally ill over his boy :]

Helpful not so Helpful Guide to Jake Johnson
Tumblr media
A master post with links to some movies and information or where to access some of them +more
Disclaimer: if any of these movies are bad or you hate them, that’s on you and not me. I am heavily biased. You have been warned.
SELF RELIANCE
Tumblr media
let’s start with the obvious. It’s out now on Hulu! Has been since February maybe idk. I’m unhealthily obsessed and bad with dates.
It’s his directorial debut, but if you didn’t know. Jake started out as a writer before improv and acting. He’s the writer, director, and star of this one. It’s very special and his baby!
It’s a wild roller coaster ride of emotions and genre. If you smoke, smoke, if you drink, drink, if you are sober, it’s still a roller coaster ride. Don’t worry, there is a lot there for you too!
But if you like enhancements, I hear it’s extra fun.
I liked it a lot, it’s whacky, creepy at times, but undeniably fun. And that’s all I will say.
Warning! Don’t watch press or any interviews for the movie until after you’ve seen the movie.
Ride the Eagle
is also on Hulu
It’s a movie he wrote during the pandemic and directed with Trent O’Donnell who directed many episodes of new girl.
It’s very heartfelt and about Grief.
Jake Johnson’s dog also makes guest appearance with their acting debut and they are the sweetest and most bestest acting dog ever.
WE’RE HERE TO HELP
Tumblr media
his podcast!
It’s very fun and with one of his buddies Gareth Reynolds.
People call in and they give them advice that is as funny and crazy as the callers.
Something’s Burning
Here’s a link to a interview on the premise of the show, but also they talk to this guy. idk. He may be a bit much, but he makes Jake laugh and I love listening to him laugh, so it’s fun for that reason too.
Or you are a Burt fan.
🏴‍☠️Pirate ship access only 🏴‍☠️
Link to the ship
The Pretty One -
Tumblr media
one of my favorites. It’s an oddball indie about twins where one dies and the one alive assumes the identity of the one who died where she stumbles upon her sister neighbor played by Jake Johnson. He’s dressed like a sexy Mr. Rogers if you ask me, and he is delightfully sardonic and childish. However, he dresses better than Nick Miller ever could
Win it All
Tumblr media
It used to be on Netflix, but it’s been taken down recently. That’s my bad because I could have made this sooner, but I just haven’t for no reason.
Jake plays a character with a gambling addiction and an anxiety inducing as the first part may be, it’s not that bad. When I first saw it I had to turn it off because I just got too anxious over what might happen next, but you might not have a weak stomach like me, so you might be fine.
On the second time around, I made it to the part where he meets this girl and everything quickly became heartwarming and endearing and it makes you just root for the main character.
A love letter for those in our lives who may not be fortunate to put themselves together as well as we might.
TAG
Tumblr media
It’s also available the link above, but it could be streaming for free somewhere. Idk.
this movie is very self-explanatory by the name. It’s very fun, Jeremy Reiner is in it, so that’s either good news or bad news for you. But it’s still fun.
Jake looks very good in this one. He still has his Tom cruise work out body.
I am very embarrassed to say I can tell what year every movie has come out based on his body shape which is lovely at every size, but the accuracy is quite scary. Which is information I didn’t need to share at all
Stumptown
Tumblr media
I used to keep that thang on me.
And by thang on me, I mean a pirate ship link to see this show. But they are for some reason gone. I’ve searched high and low for ones to access on maybe a phone? But unless you have a fire stick that has some certain pirate ship accessories on there, I don’t know where you can watch it.
But it’s such an amazing serialized show about this woman who comes back home from Iraq with ptsd, the love of her life died over there and his family blames her for it and she also blames herself for it.
She becomes a private investigator and her best friend is Gray McConnell played by Jake Johnson who, surprise suprise, owns a bar.
Imagine a cooler, sexier, smarter, and more put together Nick Miller. He is just as funny and sarcastic, but not a manchild.
But the show has amazing bisexual representation, mental health representation of ptsd, complex female characters, and it’s so well paced and written and every way.
If you love cop shows like criminal minds or fbi or any of those, imagine something like that but about a private investigator, and more emphasis on the plot and characters and their relationships. The “cop” part is just more fun on this show than others, but I am biased because I hate cop shows.
I wish I had a link to give y’all for it because it’s so easily to obsess over.
However, it’s also been canceled because of “COVID” but if you look into it. That’s a bullshit reason, and it’s been canceled for no reason, but at that point Jake Johnson was doing spiderverse and Colbie Smolders was doing other stuff. (She plays the main female character)
MINX
Tumblr media
Show set in the 70s about a woman starting the first male nude magazine to persue her dream of making a feminist one.
It’s smart, the writing is amazing, and I can not recommend it enough. There’s a lot of nudity, but it’s not what you think at all.
You truly have to watch it for yourself to understand what the show is trying to do, and it’s amazing.
I’ve never seen anything like it and it’s such a breath of fresh air in a time of remakes and endless sequels.
It used to be on HBO but now it’s on Starz!
Here’s a link to see it. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone
But for some reason it only has season two which sucks so hard and I am so sorry I couldn’t provide more.
Drinking Buddies
Tumblr media
- it used to be available on YouTube but now it’s not free anymore or the person who posted has since deleted it been removed. But the pirate ship one will have it for sure.
Have you ever met someone and you never dated them, never had a something more conversation but the chemistry is there.
You were super close to them, but no one has ever questioned it or said anything about it, but when you are with them you know it’s there? But that’s all it ever has been and will be, and maybe you aren’t even in each others lives anymore but you still think of them from time to time because they were a major part of you being who you are?
Yes? Well boy do I have a movie for you!
No? Well that’s what this movie is, but it adds more because it’s a movie and it needed to be at least an hour and a half.
But now that you know what it’s about, be warned that it’s slower in pace. It’s an indie movie.
I will have more to say about that later.
But overall it’s a good movie with a good feeling.
If you’ve ever had a will they won’t they in a real life way and not the Hollywood way, this movie might trigger those feelings.
Digging for Fire
Tumblr media
- it used to be available on YouTube but now it’s not free anymore or the person who posted has since deleted it been removed. But the pirate ship one will have it for sure.
A cute heartwarming thriller.
Those genres don’t seem like they could all blend together, but that’s what this movie does.
A family rents out a house in LA and the husband, played by Mr Jake Johnson, finds a gun and a bone, and they call the police and they say we’re not responsible for random trash. Call us if you find a body.
This is a real story that happened to Jake Johnson and his family.
He called up his friend Joe Swamburg who is a director, and they make this movie together.
He’s also the director of drinking buddies and Win it All.
It’s not only about that, again, because it needs to be over an hour. So it’s also about marriage. Not say anything else because you need something to keep you wanting to see this one, but I will say, it’s not a pretentious or dark or super try hard movie about marriage that will depress you.
It’s open and honest and ultimately sweet.
Imagine if scenes from a marriage wasn’t a drag or if a marriage story was positive instead of weird.
Idk I never actually watched a marriage story. It might not even be called that at all and you may be confused so… moving on.
No Activity
A show he was in for three episodes but it has a hilarious premise and if you are a fan of comedy, you might enjoy it having Will Farrell, Jason Mantzoukas and so much more.
Here a clip
Apparently there a ten photo limit.. so no picture
I use to have a link to it, but it’s also been erased from everywhere, unless you have access to other pirate ships.
:(
Interviews
Link
Here is a playlist of amazing interviews that give you a head start on getting to know him. They aren’t in any important order, and they also have a few about each movie and show he’s in as well.
Also if you need accessing a vpn please reach out. I know a good free vpn app for iOS.
PART TWO!!!!

For the kiss game 23 for quinobi? I am unhealthily obsessed with them
23. Kiss in relief
(This is a bit of a silly take on relief inspired by a recent Abbot Elementary episode which featured the phrase "date beard.")
"That," Quinlan says, sitting across from Siri in the refectory, "is a date beard."
Siri sighs—more long-suffering than Quin thinks she ought to be . "Dare I ask what a date beard is?"
"A date beard"—Quinlan jabs his finger into the air in emphasis—"is a neatly trimmed beard for the purposes of going out on a date. Obi-Wan didn't have that when he left. Now he does."
"And you assume that he grew said beard over the two months he was gone with his eleven-year-old Padawan to give him a tour of the different work the Jedi are doing across the galaxy for the purposes of going on a date upon his return?"
"It's a very well-taken-care-of-beard."
"It's Obi-Wan," Siri protests. "He's always particular about how he presents himself."
Quin huffs. "You have no sympathy for me."
Siri raises her eyebrows. "I believe the pair of you said you weren't going to be exclusive because it wasn't practical."
"Well." Quinlan clears his throat. "That was before I saw the date beard."
"Obi-Wan," Siri says warmly when their friend reaches their table. "You're back in one piece, I see."
"Barely so," Obi-Wan jokes as he slides into the seat next to Quin. "I may only be twenty-six, but Anakin's energy never runs out, it seems. But the trip was good for him. Seeing more of the galaxy. The work the Jedi do."
They discuss Obi-Wan's trip and Siri and Quin's goings-on. They eat. None of them mentions the beard, but Quin keeps looking at it. He wants to run his hands through it, and he is jealous, and jealousy is not befitting a Jedi.
After a while, Siri, winking at Quinlan, excuses herself.
Early.
"I suppose my beard must not be too terrible," Obi-Wan says with a chuckle. "Or Siri would have told me so."
"Yeah." Quinlan laughs too, but with a anxious tone to it that he can't hide. "I think it looks good."
Obi-Wan gives him a look. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"Quin."
"Nothing. Geez, Obes."
Understanding dawns on Obi-Wan's face, and a smirk curls at the edge of his mouth. "You think this is a date beard."
"I ... I do not."
"You do."
"Fine. I do. Is it?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Kenobi."
Obi-Wan laughs, and it lights up his eyes, and fuck that just makes that feeling in Quin's stomach worse. He is suddenly sixteen again.
"It's not a date beard, dearest," Obi-Wan says. "Just a beard. A little nod to Qui-Gon to try out." That smirk grows. "I do believe we had a non-exclusive agreement."
Quinlan leans close, and it pleases him when it makes Obi-Wan blush a little. "I think we need to renegotiate terms."
Obi-Wan snorts, and they find themselves, not long after, behind a column near the refectory where no one can see them. Quinlan kisses Obi-Wan, he slides his fingers along that new beard, and he sighs in relief. Obi-Wan smiles into the kiss, he nips at Quinlan's lip, and he too, seems relieved.
"So," he says, his voice low, "you do like the beard?"
"I do." Quinlan kisses Obi-Wan again, and starts leading them toward his own quarters. "I really, really do."

ough i feel like a popular boy 🙂‍↕️. very nice of @greenduvet to tag me in a thing. especially because i am home sick today and i am being so so so SO brave about it (read: not sick, i'm just having an immune response to a dual covid and flu vaccination and i am a baby lol)
Last song: Disease - Lady Gaga. we are not beating the basic faggot allegations I'm afraid 😔
Favorite color: i like earth tones? browns and dark natural greens are nice to me. navy blue is also high on the list.
Last book: The Reformation as Renewal - Matthew Barrett. lmaooo listen 😭. i am a huge theology dork and religion takes up like a massive part of my life. Barrett's premise that Neoplatonism and its realist participation was the actual position of the Reformers against Rome's decline into Scotist univocity of being and semi-Pelagianism weakening-- oh, see.
Last movie: When Harry Met Sally. i was in a mood 🥺
Last TV show: Dawson's Creek. lol i rewatch it annually, typically! it's just casual fun tv, and it's a comfort show.
Sweet/spicy/savory: savoury. i will take a bag of chips over cookies any time!
Relationship status: common-law married to my husband of 7 years. he is allowed to smooch other men, and i am allowed to smooch other people of various genders provided we both come back home to each other. we own our home and we have a cat!
Last thing I googled: "virtualism eucharist" lmaoooooooo this is me being a theology idiot once again i fear. i am arguing with a friend who insists virtualism is consistent with *specifically* Thomistic transubstantiation and i just do not agree with her, but i have to better explain why i don't agree.
Current obsession: i have now been unhealthily into suck session for a longgg time. also into warhammer 40k lore, not actually playing it 💀
Looking forward to: i looooove Allhallowtide! i bake soul cakes for it! my parents got me tickets to Rocky Horror on All Hallows Eve for my birthday lol and i'm taking my lovely friend Candice on a date to it. i will woo her with dinner and a show 😌. i'll be going to northern canada this weekend for our niece's baptism, which will be in french. excited for A Real Pain to hit theatres. also Nosferatu!

chap pap 2 - electric boogaloo (well actually it’s about plumbing)
you ever start writing and you just cannot seem to find an end so you keep going forever? yeah. - 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️ i would kill to read your drafts anyhooo
Sitting in the back corner booth (your favourite) with Syd - yoooo the one she sat in with carmy and also mikey’s carving!! tony’s restaurant!! the circles are circling
“You wish you were dead when you’re there, but you’d rather be dead than do anything else?” - onion you are just describing life on a movie set (also i want to find a new nickname for you but i’m struggling)
“Dad cut the cord on his business phone when it transferred to me” - not entirely true now is it chippy!! well maybe it is but i just remember the thing about her not wanting people to be able to reach her after mikey
squidink are so cute, their lil morning date, and what’d you know they shared a smoochy smooch after
You would argue you're not even that close, but he'd slap you upside the head. - AS HE SHOULD!! (i’d go to war for their friendship)
you told Mikey he was getting a mold problem. - chippy is just superior
“S’been a while since he’s had a good influence.” - chippy being close with louis and eva just makes me:’))))
“I’m just saying, you’re alike.” - the way they all see it. oh be still my beating heart
He makes you jump for it - my 5’1 ass would be fucked. i mean i would TRY, trust, but
if you take all his names. - kicking ass and taking names, literally
On your way to the kitchen, you’re stopped and walked backwards to a booth in the corner by Richie. - this makes me emotional. i love them so much stop
not Richie coming with your ice water, but Carmen - pookie!!! wait now i just see the word poo, okay scratch that- BABYBOY!!!<3<3
He pauses mid slide into the booth, sitting across from you. He seemed all cool and collected and is now suddenly extremely caught off guard. Already sweaty. “Y-yeah, I’m better, thank you—” - this is the cutest interaction in the whole series. YEAH I SAID IT
“Carmy is fine. Tony is fine?” “I’m doing okay, yeah.” - HOW AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO BE UNHEALTHILY OBSESSED WITH THEM
You nod down at the dish. “Do the thing.” - i mean i know she’s the guy, but the way they seem so comfortable with each other (like old friends) already is so special to me
Two things can be true - they can!!
“It’s the plate, isn’t it? I told Syd—” - the plate 🥹 rip to a real one (jk it survived, but it was almost a frisbee)
You put a hand on his knee to stop the shaking - now i’m shaking
You’re nothing. You’re— - she and carmy are soooo similar ugh
“Who needs a coffee? Or water?” - my fave barista!!
Marcus has fresh coffee beans (that he’s willing to share!) - marcus crumb<33 backgroud bestieee
It’s too worth it, when she says it like that and slaps your cheek - it would add like 10 years to my life for sure
You switch it for a spiced coffee when he’s not looking. He’s silently very thankful. - chip really is that girl we knew she was
supreme favouritism - which carmy later gets<3
“It’s the one oat milk latte I made.” - oat milk!!!
then darts looks over her shoulder like she’s making an under the table deal - i love them and their schemes so much
Fak running by you to steal a coffee off your tray. - he’s so funny aidjeiri
“Collector’s item...” You nod / “That’s what I fuckin’ said!” - don’t think i forgot about this. i actually have not moved on from this moment
You pivot your shoulder for him to throw it over, hands too busy. / He throws it over your shoulder. - THEY’RE SO!!!!!
“Oh, fuck, missed your twists, Chip.” - he’s so💓💖🫶🏼💕
“Fuckin’ terrible, Carm.” - the way mikey would say this oh OH
Why it shot water straight at my tits— Close your eyes - i know he looked away but like 😁😁😁
removing your walls have completely shattered his. - yo this is so cute??
we must remember, I love Syd. - we must remember that is her gf
“You can’t take yourself?” “Bitch?” - LMFAOOO
“Like… an hour?” “It had been 23 minutes.” - Lakskfkfirorikr remember when we had ALL the comedy
“You’re doing a good job, Carmy.” - 🥹🥹🥹 i miss them so much
You’re considering a career in stand up exclusively for him because it feels like such a reward to hear it. - *evaporates*
“I’d say yeah, probably not ready for a relationship” - he is with the right person (please please please)
oh! i almost forgot but what is chip’s coffee order? i was thinking it seems plain based on the writing (her offering to swap if he didn’t like her fancier take) but i could also see her fucking with some syrups
“I know you’re a Michelin star fuckin’ big deal but like, me personally, I can’t name a thing I got perfect the first time I did it.” - i see how similar she and mikey is now, i really do. carmy you’re in love with your brother - well a mix of your brother and yourself
The Berf shall prevail. - aSJHDHEBSBA ONION
For a Bear, she sure knows how to poke one. - YOUR WRITING!!! mwah mwah mwah
“There’s something about a handywoman that Fak cannot match.” - real
She chuckles, slightly. There is something about you that feels familiar. - *clutches chest*
reading the old chapters now is so!!! like knowing the back story and how certain things are panning out (at least for now) just makes it even more enjoyable to read and to catch all your lil hints. you smartass.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Had to answer one last thing before bed (GUESS WHO DIDN’T FINISH THE DRAFT FUCK!!! But I’m like,,, like closing in,, i think,,, I do hate this last scene so far I think I have to barf out all the nonsense and pull back. Pray for me)
You think you would love to read my drafts but if you did you would find— Well actually, here, here’s a list of just some of the edits/beats I wrote for Something to Do. 
Tumblr media
Should I be sharing my behind the scenes secrets? Probably not but eh it’s fine. Something to Do had I think the most edits out of any chapter. NONE OF THAT MATTERS THOUGH BABY WE’RE TALKING ABOUT CHAPTER 2 I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT MY DRAFTS ARE,, , BAD. 
Anyways. The circles are fucking CIRCLING. I love(d) injecting world moments like that that weren’t all that relevant in the moment but LATER you’re like OH YEAAHHH THAT THING FROM EARLIER!! Chekov’s table carving. 
100% I’m describing a set, I honestly did just assume every career is like working on a set— You all not in film also wanna die at your jobs but if you weren’t you’d explode, right? Right? I made the right career choice? Right? 
Also NEW NICKNAMES— I don’t love Onion but it seems it has been chosen. And I must live with my fate. Could do Caramel? No one’s gonna do caramel. On my main I am salt, so you could do Salt but I do not imagine this will catch on. 
She’s a fucking LIAR!!! This I think was the one full lie I ever let Tony tell. Everything else is pretty much true or of omission but this one yes, she just stopped fuckin’ payin it. Dad’s a business man!! Of course he wouldn’t just cut the cord— You liar pants Tony!!!
100% canon every time the camera cuts on squidink you can assume they kissed in between scenes. Canon i said it!!
This chapter is so telling to re-read, because you can really tell how disjointed Chip feels, without Mikey here— To me, at least. Like, the friendship she has/had with Richie is so barely present with him in this chapter— And she THINKS they’re not close!!! Bitch!!! It’s been you two the whole time!!! I love seeing how much this changed, by Ad Interim. Our baby got her groove back. And you can see it w/ Tina too! I love my mother…. Boots the house…. She’s so very good at seeing people now, I love HER!!!
BABYBOY TIME!!! Cutest interaction in the whole series you say?? Yeah that’s probably true. I was gonna say I gotta try to one up myself but to be fair there’s something about introductions that can’t be matched. Alas. Perchance (you can’t just say—).
100% this was Tony being the guy per usual but I also think like, she’s real special cause she knows Carmen pretty well through word of mouth— To her they are kinda like old friends. And I think that’s also what contributes so well to her COMPLETELY DISARMING HIS ASS as he gets to know her back lmao.
That plate was so fucking close to being frisbee’d— It was gonna be this whole tragic mirroring scene to a scene I had considered with Mikey but pivoted because it just ,,,, did not hit. That plate sure would’ve hit the fuckin wall though yesssiirrrr— (I have much to say about the You’re Nothing, but I will get into that in a later ask down the line I SWEAR THERE’S A WHOLE THING!!)
Anyways, favourite barista !!! I love that Chip has essentially learned every trade by wanting to impress someone. Her dad, Syd, Mikey. She’s so people pleaser. Number 1 people pleaser, my beloved. And then she makes Carmen arguably one of the best coffees!!  Immediately trying to impress him after 2 fucking seconds. She’s so fucking dumb. I love her. She is me and I am her. 
I would actually love to hear ad nauseam why The Berf shirt is so unforgettable. Actually no I get it. It’s them. This whole moment is just very them. You can see their friendship start to finally peek out and it’s a real joy. 
“Fuckin’ terrible, Carm.” - the way mikey would say this oh OH
AND THE CROWD HISSES IN PAIN!!!! Yessir, yessirrrrrrrr— She is SO THE GUY SHE IS SO MIKEY!!! THE FRUITS OF MY LABOUR!!
We’ll come back to this sweetness and comedy eventually. Maybeee. We got some in Something to Do— they’ll be FINE!!
Now Chip’s coffee order— This honestly went unwritten for so long for a couple reasons. 1 - I rarely drink coffee so I suck at having opinions. 2 - Tony is really just an OC at this point but it is still technically insert, so like, whatever YOUR coffee is, is her’s.
But like… now? Between u and me? And the 3 other people that will actually bother to read this ask? I think she’d do a cortado. Half steamed milk, Half espresso. It’s simple so it’s very switchable but I think still very her, yknow?
100% She is just a blend of Mikey and Carmen. HEY HALF MILK HALF ESPRESSO!!!! LETS GO!!! IT’S A METAPHOR NOW FUCK YEAH!!! Now is she a blend of them because I deeply relate to both brothers and really just fuckin stuck my whole self into Tony? …. .i decline to speak at this time
THE BERF!! SHALL!! PREVAIL!!! I need to buy a Berf shirt. Maybe I will use my ko-fi money (i love u) to buy a Berf shirt. Collector’s item. 
The whole Nat scene is SUCH A TOUGH READ AFTER TWO STEPS BACK HONESTLY,,, THEY BOTH HANDLE GRIEF IN SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT’S SUHKFJSFKH FUCK!!! And Natalie just seeing Mikey in her, like fucking everyone does— It’s just so— I’m fuckin DYING!!
Also. I’m so glad tumblr blurs ask photos because I remembered looking at these and then I forgot what they were and then i got to look with fresh eyes again and have a giggle all over again. THE MIRRORJEG— (processing an emotion)I’ll include these in a comp eventually, but here are some from my collection. Meme exchange, only fair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I LOVE YOU AS ALWAYS KISS KISS I AM NOT GONNA GET TO SHOWER TONIGHT I’M GONNA HAVE TO GO TO WORK WITH AN OILY SCALP AND IT’S YOUR (my) FAULT!!

I'm really struggling a lot today, and a great deal of it is internalized fatphobia.
I've talked on here before that I'm a fat trans woman. Self-acceptance is hard enough when you are trans, but it's even harder for trans fat people I find. All of the media, all of the people I see on social media, all the comics, and all the images of trans people get pushed by the algorithms to revolve around the image of the "waifish twink to trans girl" pipeline. That is about as far from my experience as possible. Add on top of that the primacy of young trans women, people who have known forever that they are trans, and it leaves someone like me feeling completely inadequate.
I've never been thin, or even average weight. The last time I was less than 200 pounds was probably in middle school. I've been fat since I was little, and even when I make the effort to eat right, work out consistently, and make good choices, the lowest I've ever weighed was... 235 pounds. That was my healthiest, when I was 21. I never stopped trying to eat right, never stopped working out for years after. Still, I got fatter and gained weight. Thyroid problems were the real source of it all, sadly. My body's metabolism doesn't work right. I was the most religiously dedicated person at grad school in terms of going to the gym. I was there every day, doing cardio, and lifting weights. It never stopped my weight gain.
Currently, I am over 300 pounds. I'm going to the gym again. I'm trying to eat healthier. I realize that going by weight is not exactly the healthiest way to focus one's attention. I try to self-correct constantly and say that I'd really just rather not die of a heart attack at age 40, and that's the reason I'm exercising.
But God, what I wouldn't give to just be under 300 pounds again.
When every image I see of trans folks is young, skinny, borderline unhealthily thin bodies, it's hard not to take being an old, fat trans woman as a personal failing.
I wish I didn't feel this way. I wish I could say that I'm better than that, that it's stupid to obsess about my image, but at the same time that's the whole problem. That's why I'm transitioning: I want to look more like how I feel on the inside. But what if that's never going to happen for me, realistically?
I also wish that we could broaden the image of what it means to be a trans woman. I wish it was okay to be fat and trans. I wish people wouldn't get so hung up on size and allow people to just be. I wish we found fat people appealing. I wish norms would expand to allow people of any gender or size to simply exist without constant criticism and comparison. Being a fat, disabled trans woman who's older than 35 is a nightmare of "not fitting into the right categories."
I'm grateful for the supportive people in my life. I wish I was as accepting of myself as others were of me.

🥳 and ✨ pleasee
🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?
I think I started writing fanfic in my senior year in college. I was in the midst of a very traumatic breakup and something about jumping into a different reality was very appealing at the time. I'd always loved to write, and been unhealthily obsessed with HP, and so it flowed from there. Now I just really enjoy it as a hobby, though there's always a bit of escapism in it, I think.
I think my fanfic reading gateway might've been TLAT? I read that and was like omg, people are posting these masterpieces for FREE?? Still feel that way tbh.
✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?
Oh wow I love this question, diving into my AO3 inbox is such a joy. It is my greatest shame that I am NOTORIOUSLY bad at responding to comments, so if you've ever left me a comment please know it was read and so very appreciated.
From @whatthefawkes, who has left so many lovely comments, this one in particular on Come Stay for the Summer makes me really happy:
This will sound absolutely silly, but whenever I need a pick me up, I come to reread this (spoiler alert: I've lost count of how many times I reread it). This fanfic is, for sure, my favorite Harry/Ginny AU of all time. I adore how you describe every single of the characters, their friendship, how they fall in love, and everything. Really, everything. I don't have enough words to say how amazing this is and how thankful I'm that you shared it.
The idea that people would return to something I've written for a pick-me-up brings me so much joy - it makes me think of all the ways we affect one another without even knowing it, and all the times that other people have made me feel better with their writing.
From @the-dream-team, who also has graced my inbox with SO MANY LOVELY AMAZING WORDS, but this one in particular on She Did:
Okay, you’re making it way too hard to choose a favorite chapter now!! What the heck!!! I think I might have died and gone to heaven reading this one!!! If I were to copy and paste every incredible line that I fell head over heels in love with, you’d just be rereading this entire chapter in the comment section xD But I’ll try!!! “I’m right here,” James pointed out with a smirk. “I’m meant to be champagne, aren’t I?” Ahavgxsjambdhdus STOP THAT OMG “She could feel his smile spread out beneath her fingers and she wondered if she could pocket it for later.” Shut the heck up this is a perfect line, I’m obsessed. “She wanted his bubbly champagne sunshine, so that she might bask in his warmth, like a needy little plant in his garden.” This is so beautiful and is such a lovely visual and perfectly shows her desperation to find some light in all the darkness around her oooof it hurts my heart but James IS champaign!! He really is and it’s amazing seeing these two get to this place together <3 The piggy back rides had me absolutely feral ohmyfuckinggod. These kids are too much!! My heart is bursting with love for them!! They’ve been on such a journey!! And it’s so lovely seeing them end up where they belong :’)
You know when you tinker over a few lines to try to get them just right, to try to capture the exact feeling you want to portray? And then you secretly love those few lines, and hope that they affect people the way you wanted them to? And then some queen goes and hand picks those exact lines to tell you how much they loved them? Inject that feeling into my veins.

I never posted a list of my favorite books I read last year, so here's something brief (with links to posts I made about the books, if I did):
Fiction:
Bloom by Delilah S Dawson: An F/F horror romance that I would describe as "An Eroguro Yuri Yandere Visual Novel Bad End In Western Book Form." A woman coming out of a terrible break-up, and cutting her mother out of her life before uprooting to a town where she knows no one, falls head-over-heels for a beautiful and eccentric woman at the farmer's market. A downward spiral into obsessive love ensues. Short, sweet, perfect build-up, would recommend for an easy fun grotesque read. (Major CW warnings: short but graphic descriptions of past CSA and violent animal death.) Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh: a young human girl growing up on a space station of the remainder of human separatists, waging a fruitless war against the alien empire that decimated humanity years ago, suddenly has to confront the fact her entire upbringing and understanding of the universe and its politics and the foundation upholding her beliefs and ideals was a lie. There's F/F and M/M romance but they're not the focus (and tbh not very satisfying. The story is satisfying.) has one of the most artfully written explorations of the horror of incestuous grooming that I've ever seen written. Major CW: Characters facing racism, Incest and ever-present threats of sexual violence and forced pregnancy.
The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling: F/F SF horror fiction: a woman lies about her credentials to take on a very dangerous, but lucrative, cave diving job in order to escape her backwater mining planet has the slow realization that her employer and handler does NOT have her best interests at heart. A terrifying visceral psychological horror that spirals out of control into an emotionally and mentally abusive romantic relationship. What's better than this, two women becoming unhealthily and abusively condependent as they face the horrors of deep caves, isolation and family trauma together.
Walking Practice by Dolki Min, tl. Victoria Caudle: A South Korean self-published novel translated into English, about a carnivorous, shapeshifting alien trapped on Earth who uses dating apps to find its prey amongst the lonely citizens of a major city. A very harrowing exploration of social isiolation and ostracization of people who fall outside the majority norms, with a definite focus on disability, sexuality and transgressive gender.
The Wicked and the Willing An F/F Gothic Horror Vampire Novel by Lianyu Tan: What the title says lol. This takes place in colonial-era Singapore, where our heroine Gean Choo takes on a job as working as a live-in housekeeper for wealthy white European Verity Edevane, who she's drawn to and desires despite every single warning flag, and is introduced to Po Lam, Edevane's faithful and most trusted employee. And then Gean Choo realizes her new employer is a vampire and handsome Po Lam, who has been murdering young women for her to feed off for years, is determined to protect her. This novel does not go the way you will think it might go. There is a lot going on it that I LOVED and really recommend it. Major CW: Characters facing Racism throughout and descriptive discussion of past CSA that comes up several times.
Nonfiction & Poetry:
Wanting: Women Writing About Desire: A nonfiction anthology of short memoir pieces where women from a very diverse background and of diverse identities, write about their relationships to sex, their bodies, and the act of desiring. I really, really am glad I read this. There is some of the most thoughtful and truthful, uncensored, writing on the complicated sides of being a CSA survivor, that I've ever read, in this book. Many women also write about the intersections of sexual desire and race and culture, transgender status, non-straight sexuality, disability.
Cartographies of Desire: Male-male Sexuality in Japanese Discourse, 1600-1950 by Pflugfelder: A very comprehensive overview of the history of sexual and romantic relationships between men in Japan from the Edo Period through to the post-WW2 period, as well as government efforts to control and repress such relationships. I really appreciate this book because it heavily cites Japanese-language sources to show that the repression of homosexual relationships between men was not purely a part of Meiji-era Japan's process of "modernization" via adopting many Western moral and political concerns- control and repression of male-male sexual relationships has happened all throughout Japanese history, but for more complicated reasons than disgust and moral disapproval of men fucking.
Major CW: A lot of the text is about historical pederasty (that is, sexual relations between men over the age of 18 and boys under the age of 18) and sexual violence is a major element of what is examined.
I'm gonna add to this when I come home but I'll just post this for now since it's pretty long.

Fic Author Q&A
Tagged by @cicaklah - thanks babe! (sorry if my answers end up vague or unsatisfying, it's past midnight and i would be in bed if there wasn't a music festival currently happening outside my window - I"m not exactly at my best lol)
1. Why do you write fanfic?
It started from the desire to make fictional characters kiss, which is still a large part of why I do it, so let's go with that.
2. Which of your posted stories do you think about the most, even though the story is “finished”?
I don't really know - I tend to think about a lot of my stories pretty often after they're finished, I'm not sure that there is a specific one I fixate on. They all get a bit of time in my brain, and i tend to go and re-read stuff too.
3. If you could give yourself fic advice from when you first started writing fic, what would that advice be?
S l o w d o w n. Don't be afraid of big word counts, it'll take as many words as it takes, and rushing toward the finish line will just make the pacing suffer. Make room for the moments in between, let the story breathe.
4. What’s your relationship to fic stats?
Lately I've found that not looking at them in too much detail is better. Over the summer I found myself looking at my stats for validation, and of course, not finding it there. But the problem is in my head, not on the stats page. So they are just numbers that are there, and if I need to check something specific, then that's a useful thing to have.
5. Is there a pairing or scenario or friendship you miss writing? If so, why? If not, why not?
I've really fallen off of writing for Hitman over the past couple of years, with only one short ficlet as a recent offering. It's one of the fandoms were my muse has been fleeting, but the fandom is so wonderful that I miss being a more active participant in it.
6. What motivates you to write?
Lately I have a pretty hard time writing without having clear inspiration, so that's the most surefire motivation is just being struck by an idea that grabs me and won't let go until I get it down on the page. But that sort of inspiration is hard to come by, so I haven't been writing very much in its absence.
7. Why do you write for the fandom(s) that you write for?
In most cases it's because I have a ship I'm obsessed with, and if not that than just general love for the game (it's almost always a game, let's not kid ourselves) and the characters. It's hard for me to write for a fandom unless I'm at least a little bit unhealthily obsessed with it.
8. If you’re stuck writing a WIP, what do you do?
Normally I will take a break, and some of those breaks have turned out longer than others... I have a few unfinished wips that are an albatross around my neck, and I'm not sure how to go about finishing them.
9. What do you wish people knew about comments?
They are all an author wants! We want to hear about what you liked and why, and given the chance we would talk your ear off about our fics, so don't ever feel like you're bothering an author by commenting something nice on their fic, we are looking for that engagement and validation.
10. Maybe there’s a question you wish had been on here. What’s that question (and answer)?
What's something you've been excited about/feeling good about recently with your writing? One thing I will mention is that a few days ago I went back and read a bunch of free writing exercises I did for a class last semester that i hadn't looked at since - I had completely forgotten about most of them, but when I read them again the majority of them were so good! It kind of bolstered my confidence that I had that kind of quality output from 10-minute warmups where I wasn't thinking too hard. Like, even though I haven't written much lately, I still know how to write!!
Not tagging anyone specific, just whoever want to do it because I am too tired to think and decide :)

How does Sakurai keep aging backwards??
Watching the latest Masahiro Sakurai YouTube video and
how does this man keep aging backwards. He looks significantly younger now than he did when I was watching his Smash Ultimate reveal videos a few years ago. I'm actually comparing videos now and it's not just me misremembering what he looked like back then, he legitimately looked a decade older in his Smash for 3DS/Wii U videos compared to today. How does he do it?
Tumblr media
Now, these example images are far from perfect, I wasn't planning on making this post so this is kind of a quickie. Still, am I crazy, or does Sakurai look far younger today than he did 4 years ago? (I'm aware the quality of the modern photo is far better than the first, but the hat's not on me there; the Smash Bros videos just had less resolution than is seen now on Sakurai's personal YT channel. Weird.)
I've noticed a few distinct ways in which he looks significantly better now:
His skin looks noticeably more youthful. His laugh lines seem to have all but vanished, and his face appears to have significantly more healthy colour to it. The difference appears slight in this photo comparison, but in some older videos from the 3DS/Wii U era it's much clearer. He looks significantly less pale now, and any lines that were present on his face have seemingly disappeared.
This one is more obvious: his eyebags are gone! He's clearly sleeping far better now. The difference is night and day.
Again, not too noticeable from the pictures given, but Sakurai's hair seems to be smoother, glossier and darker than it used to be. Perhaps he's dyed it or is using different products now, but it looks far healthier and youthful now, and that's not even to say it looked bad before. He's always had great hair (and has never been bad-looking in any field), but it's really shining nowadays.
idk why I'm even making this post. In all likelihood, he's just far less stressed nowadays without Smash Ultimate and Covid to worry about. Still, I think it was worth pointing out. Masahiro Sakurai looks phenomenal. Again, not to imply he's ever looked bad. He's always been, in my opinion at least, quite an attractive man. I also understand that this post may come across as creepy or obsessed, but I haven't watched any Sakurai content since high school, in which my friend group was heavily Smash-oriented and we kept up with the development and new character additions like other men do sports. In an unorthodox way, Masahiro Sakurai was a huge part of my teenage years. I idolized him back then, and I'd still consider him a man worth looking up to; his passion for his craft is damn near unmatched. If every big name gave developer cared as much about the art they were creating as Sakurai, the entire gaming scene would be so, so much better.
This is an appreciation post, I suppose, as well as just me being happy a guy I followed closely a few years ago now seems to be doing better than ever. I get that he was and still is a multimillionaire, but back in the day he was working himself to the bone. I mean, passing out at work, winding up in the hospital, and then going right back to work with a IV drip in his arm?? He's clearly worked extremely, unhealthily hard to gain his wealth. I'm glad he's visibly less stressed out nowadays, and austounded at how much better he looks. There's graceful aging, and then there's Masahiro Sakurai. He's 52, and works like a coked-out mule with a sick kid at home and a debt to the mob, yet despite all this I wouldn't think he's a day over 30. You fucking go, Sakurai.

I know it was explained but I’m still a little confused. Why did Harrys patronus change to match Ginny later in life? In the books that only happens to snape who was unhealthily obsessed with Lily and Tonks who was unhealthily pining after Remus. I guess my biggest question is that why didn’t it naturally match Ginny’s from day one? James and Lily and Theo and Kane all naturally match one another without it having to change for each other but Harry and Ginny’s only started to match after years of dating. So don’t misunderstand me Hinny is my favorite couple but doesn’t that make them less soulmates than the other couples who’s have always matched each others? The couples with naturally matching ones have naturally matching souls where Harrys only changed because of his strong feelings and because he fell in love. Again Im just as much a hinny lover as the rest of you but isn’t their matching patnrouses not at all representative of them being soulmates and actually just that Harry has strong feelings for Ginny? I feel stupid I know it was explained but Im still confused 😅
My second question is since you say they are soulmates, is that ever going to be shown mutually? We’ve really only seen it magically shown that Harry loves Ginny. His love for her broke the love potion, his love for her broke him out of the veela trance, his love for her is reflected in his patnrouses, so on and so forth. I thought it was going to be shown when Ginny was under the bloodlust potion when he planned to kiss her and break her out of it because she loves him, but it didn’t work at all lmao. So again I love Hinny and love everything that’s happened I just have noticed only Harry’s love for Ginny has been shown magically. There hasn’t really been any visible magic that shows Ginny’s love for Harry. Even though we all know she loves him too.
I’m really just curious. I know you still have a lot of story to tell and I’m simply wondering if I should hold out hope for a big beautiful magic something that shows Ginny’s love for Harry. Im a romantic can you tell? 😅
Like many have said I am also counting down the days until Third Times the Charm. Im still a little in shock over Zee’s death but I am hoping that it wasn’t in vain and that Harry gets Sirius back, and not just this zombie inferi version of him. At least then the twins will have one of their parents again. But also I dont want the wizarding world going into chaos because they all now think they can bring their loved ones back to life, so maybe Im not sure what I want 😅. Im super exicted to see how it all goes down
Hi, @hjpisunderrated
I did explain it yes. First of all, I don't believe that every person who is in love or the perfect match have matching Patronuses. James and Lily did, but Harry and Ginny didn't in canon and yet I felt it was perfect for Harry to have a stag and Ginny to have a horse. I wanted to keep that same thing here. However, I gave Harry multiple Patronuses to show the love he felt for his fathers. He was too young when he first created his Patronus. He and Ginny were friends then, but nothing more. To me, the idea that as they grew, as their love blossomed to more, and as they became intimate, it was the final step that gave Harry an additional Patronus that matched Ginny's. It doesn't mean he cares for her more than him, its just that he has more than one and she does not.
I disagree with the stronger feelings notion. The reason Ginny survived the potion was because of her love for Harry. Harry's ability to break out of these trances is because he is a very powerful wizard (Ginny is as well in her own right, but Harry is vastly more powerful). It is because of this strength that he was able to defeat his while Ginny's strength and her love for Harry kept her alive, even if the hold the potion had on her didn't break. I think it's this connection that further makes them soul mates in ways no other couple can quite compete with. Theo and Sebastian and Remus and Tonks are meant to be together as well and yes their bond is strong, they have matching Patronuses, and are very much souls in love, but Hinny are of a different breed in my mind.
Ginny loves Harry more than anything and I think I have shown that throughout the story. They will have many more moments together in TTTC
I hope Third Times the Charm has a few surprises for you to come :D
