Thinking how “Adarlan” is so uncomfortable to say, and out loud you always sound like your saying “a darlin” but very confused and with an unsure accent
It deadass sounds like 8 yr old me syllable vomiting to come up with something fantasy sounding because I didn’t understand how things were named
I think this can highlight SJM’s lack of world building fundamentals (that she very clearly still has) when it comes to naming things. Thank every fucking deity that she switched over to literal names like “Spring Court” or “Eternal City”, as lazy as they are, because I don’t think I could’ve slugged through any more off-brand “Tolkien-esque” names 😭😭

with Vernestra being in the new book and seeing some people comment on like 'waiting for the other shoe to drop with her arc' (sorry if you happen to be the person who wrote that on reddit and are reading this haha, I actually really agreed with your review, that line just popped out at me), and my own frustrations with wishing they'd just invented a new character to fill her role in The Acolyte, because speculation on how we make the (kinda big) leap from book characterization to show characterization is overshadowing her character in these last few books, I started wondering like why did they choose Vernestra to be the one book character to bring forward? They had to retcon the Mirialan lifespan for it, didn't they? I know they probably wanted at least one book character to get the book readers on board with the series, but there wasn't anything that jumped out at me to explain why that figure had to be Vernestra. Then I got it.
...I bet they just wanted to use the lightwhip.
I mean first of all it is a cool, unique weapon for the series, even though they only used it in that one shot, fair enough lol. But I bet they had the idea for that shot of Qimir's scar to connect to whatever turned him to the Sith and planned the arc from there, so they had the plot first (Qimir fights his former Jedi master, leaving him with the scar that can be strategically revealed when it is time for #traumatic backstory) and slotted Vernestra into it because the lightwhip makes for a unique enough scar pattern to serve as heavy foreshadowing when it's revealed in episode 6.
But damn, I wish they had just made it like Silandra's shield and had it passed down, I would have been chill with Vernestra being Qimir's master's master, that would have made sense to me. But that's definitely where the 'they needed a character from the books to get the book nerds to watch the show' lol and maybe they already have Burryaga's (the only other character I can think of with a sufficient lifespan) ending planned (#fear). But it still does kind of suck that the ending of the book series has to be viewed through this lens of 'ok well how does this explain what happened between book Vernestra and show Vernestra...'
#star wars#the high republic#tears of the nameless#the acolyte#vernestra rwoh#i always type out her full name because i got snobbishly pissed when people started being mean to her while calling her vern#she doesn't like to be called vern!!#also for the record given how much there is to wrap up and tv production vs drafting timelines...#i doubt there's going to be much in the remaining books to explain the characterization gap#probably in Justina Ireland's standalone novel but i doubt they'll get into it in the main series#so i'm trying to read without thinking of that. let 18 year old vernestra deal with the crisis at hand lol#like damn let the girl deal with her issues without projecting them a hundred years into the future XD#lol also yeah i'm aware i def made fun of the snobs for getting mad about lifespans and now i'm like 'hm but the lifespans'#i don't actually care they can change whatever lol it's just serving to highlight that#they really wanted it to be vernestra regardless of what the lifespans were originally

was thinking the other day that if i ever do somehow magically manage to get a girlfriend (unlikely scenario lbr but still...) how am i gonna tell everyone. LMFAO
#like the other day my mom's husband jokingly said that he was gonna sign me up for a dating show on tv and i was like FUCK NOOOO#and he said smth along the lines of well whatever has to come will come#and at some point explicitly mention a guy and i was like.....uhh...yeah....#i mean i do like men but idk. ive said it before i think im losing interest in them more and more as time goes on#and idk i had a girlfriend at 18 and tried to come out to my mom and she basically said bisexuality? that doesn't exist bby ❤️#and i felt SO ashamed#it just aggravates me ig that it doesn't even cross their mind that i might not be straight yk...or that being bi is an option....sigh#raquel speaks

#like without drifting apart gradually bc tbh i dont wanna be close friends anymore#i feel constantly misunderstood and perpetually weighed down in this person's presence#we're close friends but i dont even like her anymore#and i feel BAD about it but i just cant stand their ass! everything feels like a competition with them. everything feels miserable.#it's definitely partially my own fault bc i do a lot of comparing due to our laundry list of similarities#but it's partially their fault bc shes always adding fuel to the fire#like we can never just agree on things#and whenever i try to balance myself and stop being so competitive here she comes with her damn#need to make even more comparisons between us#also like. they cannot just shut up about how hard life is#Trust me i know! i take 3 pills daily for psychological issues. i have been since i was 18#like they always have to talk about how haaaaard having ADHD is how difficult their life is like#it's one thing to open up to your friends and vent every so often and another to make your illness your entire personality#i rant about all my issues in depth on tumblr BECAUSE i know better than to dump all that onto my friends who are already struggling#im not saying it's Trauma Dumping to talk abt ur problems but holy shit in moderation#like i dont have the mental or emotional capacity for this!!!!#that might sound really mean and god forbid extremely individualistic but it's truly because#im trying to HEAL im trying to RECOVER#and with someone constantly messaging me about their ailments and symptoms and struggles! well it makes me feel like we're both bound to be#stuck foreverrrr#also apart from that i dont enjoy their company. they used to be interesting and now they're just negative half the time if not more and#constantly playing the devils advocate for seemingly no real reason#im not perfect either in fact i can be a real asshole in friendship im aware. but this one particular friend has been pissing me off for#over a year and that has to mean something#like why now and why for this long?#if it really is a Me Problem then okay! like i fucking suck im horrible or whatever lets not be friends so that she can be happier!#idgaf anymore maybe im the bad guy but either way we're better off apart#z.post

A few of the various iterations of Suiren in our Multiverse of Madness and the different things she is into, comprised into one (not so) neat list for my beloved @katkastrofa as part 1 of her birthday present (intended to be used as reference for a certain something 🤭👀 and also bc she said please when she reblogged my earlier post and who am I to say no to that? :D)
(Alternatively: Tumblr please don’t nerf me I beg you)
Under the cut for comfort reasons :’)
SotRL/post-SotRL – At first uses sex as an outlet for her frustrations, wanting it fast, rough and with as little feelings involved as possible. Merciless biter, loves attention on her tits, has a raging praise kink but would rather die than admit it. Touch her hair and you die (at first. After some time she’s okay with it being stroked or brushed out of the way, especially while she’s sucking Kuvira off). Generally rather sensitive and vocal so is very fun to play with, but she doesn’t let herself lean into it fully, and thus is extremely unaware of her submissive side. After she starts healing from her trauma and trusting Kuvira more, on the other hand… 🤭 She is still very much capable of domming or topping of Kuvira so desires, but for the most part she can’t get enough of letting herself be guided into the subspace and giving her brain a little break, willing handing Kuvira the control and trusting that she will be taken good care of. Discovers her oral fixation and leans into the praise kink, as well as riding Kuvira’s strap, having her tits fucked, imagining Kuvira being able to actually come down her throat or inside her, general BDSM stuff, bondage, light petplay, dehumanisation, ownership and edging. So, so much edging 🤤. It gets to a point when she’s not even too keen on coming at all, not wanting the experience to end. But she does love her orgasms, especially when she’s nice and full, so sooner or later she will end up begging for it anyway :D I very much might have missed something, but in my defence, there really is a lot to her
UtOS – Somehow, the complete opposite to SotRL Suiren. Extremely dominant, loves being in control and isn’t too fond of giving it up. Essentially, power bottom to Kuvira’s service top, though she does also love having Kuvira writhe on her water tendrils. Can and will use her bloodbending to her advantage once she finds out Kuvira likes being overstimulated, and heavily leans into the possessiveness kink by calling Kuvira hers as often as possible. Drops orders and light degradation as easily as breathing, and while she does enjoy being praised, it’s to a much, much lesser degree than her SotRL counterpart. Less being called a good girl and more being thanked for giving it to Kuvira so well. A bit of a sadist and somehow even more of a biter than usual. All in all… Grandma Ikiaq is a bad influence 😁
Ultimate AU – Looks like the dominance depends on the bloodbending rather than not being raised by Haya, because we’re back to something more closely resembling SotRL. Except here, Suiren is an impossible tease. Every Suiren knows full well that she’s attractive, but this is the only one who flaunts it quite as openly, wearing almost exclusively low cut dresses, putting an extra sway in her hips as she walks, always squinting at Kuvira in that seductive way… all that good stuff. And as a result of being a tease, she’s also one hell of a brat just begging to be tamed. She’s known nothing but freedom her whole life, so there’s little quite as enticing as the idea of having control forcibly taken from her. She likes being restrained after Kuvira gets sick of being teased and snaps, and fucked as roughly and thoroughly as possible. Most likely is incredible at giving tit fucks while her dress is still mostly on, just with her tits popped out. Is okay with having her hair pulled as long as it’s done lightly. The praise kink also isn’t that prominent, she’s much more into soft cuddles – in which Kuvira is *not allowed* to move as if a cat had fallen asleep in her lap – as a form of aftercare
MoA – I don’t have much on her bc this AU is rather underdeveloped, but she’s essentially pre-discovery-of-submissiveness SotRL Suiren, but even more repressed because the load she carried for her entire life was doubled and having to dispose of her abuser’s body after she was killed by her 15yo sister did absolute fucking wonders for her mental state. A bit more on the controlling side, preferring to take charge. Very into angry sex bordering on hatefucking, will ride Kuvira like her life depends on it to the point of hurt. Insults and death threats take the place of normal well adjusted flirting. Is nowhere near ready to be indulged in her even more well hidden praise kink, would probably claw Kuvira’s eyes out if she ever tried. Perhaps she should get a taste of Kuvira’s newly formed spirit cock and maybe she’ll calm down
Sacrifice AU – Easily the most vanilla out of all her counterparts. After her near death experience she’s extremely averse to all manners of being restrained, whether with metal cuffs or simply being held down. Her wrists are particularly sensitive, never to be grabbed. She doesn’t like being manhandled in any way, she gets to pick the position, and she picks something that will allow her to be on top and not trapped under Kuvira. Prefers grinding or humping to anything being inside her, be it fingers or a cock. Still just as obsessed with having her tits sucked, but it has to be lighter, not enough to leave bruises. She doesn’t like seeing bruises on herself. Praise kink to the max, anything to drown out the voices always shouting obscenities at her. Only while being called beautiful and desirable as she rides out her orgasm, clinging to Kuvira like a lifeline, does she actually feel alive again
Small rarely talked about bonus, Avatar Suiren AU – Living as an all powerful being with not one but two Great Spirits residing inside her gets very tiring very easily. Luckily, a certain someone is always willing to help her mind to drift away and her to lose herself in pleasure for a few hours. A bit more into degradation than praise. In those moments, she isn’t the Avatar, the master of all four elements, saviour of the world, and the memories of lives that came before her as well as those annoying Spirit kites’ constant bickering all fade away. No, in those moments she is simply Suiren, Kuvira’s Suiren, her beloved good girl. And nothing else could possibly matter
#I know there is also mermaid Suiren but I really wasn’t up to figuring out mermaid anatomy right now#she isn’t part of this current snippet anyway so who cares#I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it#but that aside#this is NOT going on the main blog thank you very much#Kat. however. is fully free to reblog this#and add whatever she likes 😁#I just don’t want it on my main#I don’t really have the energy for a lot of tags rn bc I just finished typing this all out#didn’t even proofread it#but I hope this can serve as some good inspiration 🤭#and I’m working on the other parts of your gift!!#hoping to finish part 2 tonight and part 3 while I’m at my grandmas tomorrow#but we’ll see#also originally there were only supposed to be 2 parts but then this came up randomly#so now there are 3 :D#anyway. hope you enjoy!!#and I’ll be looking forward to hearing any.. thoughts you may have#if you get what I mean 👀🔥#all of this can be summarised by ‘Nia turned 18 and went off the rails’ lmao#Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness#sotrl suiren#<— and all other versions of her#kuviren

maybe ive said it before, but i feel like im going to pick up a lot of habits my parents had, like smoking and drinking extremely unhealthy amounts of cigarettes and alcohol
#kind of a vent#i mean. i dont know this for sure. and i could definitely pick up those habits not because of my parents.#thats not even what im really saying. i strongly dont think i would pick up those habits solely *because* of them anyway#i just for whatever reason have that feeling that ill end up like them (hopefully not)#i personally dont think i will ever get in to smoking. i dont see the appeal or how it makes someone 'cool'#of course ive never done it so maybe i dont understand. but i really dont want to fuck up my health or put others in any danger#im pretty sure im so turned off because of red ribbon week at school but i feel like that education about smoking is helpful#because of school my sibling and i got both of our parents away from smoking which i think they were grateful for#my dad used to smoke a lot and would chainsmoke as well as go through a number of packs in one day#i dont think my mom ever smoked that much but she still smoked since she was 17 or 18. she's returned to it to cope with a relative's d*ath#im not convincing her to stop but i worry about her health. i dont think she cares just as long as my nana doesnt see her pack or lighter#as for drinking my dad nearly became an alcoholic at one point and has since tried to cut back#smoking and drinking are so common that i dont really know why i worry about being completely clean in my own lifetime#i mean im having my first drink on my 21st birthday. ive only ever tried a taste of wine and hated it so jve never drank before#i mean all of this more as. i guess ending up on that deeper end like my parents. i hope i dont and i never want to

#this was. not prompted by anything recent i’m just thinking about it#but idk Why my friends feel compelled to make jokes about me hating butches????#like it’s obviously not TRUE….. and like i shouldn’t get upset if it’s not true but#it resurfaces a time of my life (think. when i was like 18) that is really really embarassing#it just makes me feel like i haven’t changed. which i have#and i know it’s all jokes and almost always has to do with discussing characters from stuff or whatever#but still. it feels like that kind of mean spirited joking where you’re actually kind of seriously making an accusation underneath the joke#ykwim#anyways. i love butches and these jokes are dumb and the next time one is made i will say something fr#bc i don’t wanna be stuck as the image of me who is fresh out of high school. jesus christ#i think the main one i’m thinking of is like#i had mentioned that i used to not think that jaina from naddpod was hot#when like. she clearly is. and also is implied to be butch or at least my friends hc her as butch#and everyone dogpiled on me and was like SO YOU HATE BUTCHES#and like i tried to earnestly be like No why would you say that 😭 but nobody paid me any mind. idk#it’s happened at other times in a similar way and again it’s a JOKE but it still gets to me#diary

2023 reads // twitter thread
This Doesn’t Mean Anything
NA contemporary romance about a sex-repulsed girl starting uni and meeting an upperclassman who hangs out in the same study room and coffeeshop as she does
struggling with her asexuality, new friendships, and harassment
#This Doesn’t Mean Anything#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#well.#I was overall enjoying the first half of this! then it went to shit lol#for one. WAY TOO LONG. but also feels like scenes would be very short then skip to the next day#I liked how the first half of the book was just developing the relationship as a friendship.#there’s a conflict at 50% and they literally are terrible to each other for almost the entire rest of the book#also the conflict of why they can’t get together feels manufacured.#he feels like he (21) is too old for her (18) and while i’m like…yeah I understand that im iffy about it too;#as the reader we know they’re going to get together anyway. so it just feels stupid. and made that way just to cause a conflict. which lasts#too long.#2)#then men are SO overprotective to the point it’s kinda. not creepy exactly but like why the fuck can none of these women go anywhere without#a dude accompanying them? the MMC even. when she tells him to leave her alone (because he rejected her) he’s still being all protective and#and calling her sweetheart like I started to actively dislike him. it’s like. borderline manipulative ‘nice guy’#THEN it threw in a SA at 80% or whatever which. a) can we not SA our ace characters and b) is just not handled well. it feels like an excuse#to make them hurt/comfort and then get together aka end their conflict. which. oof.#3)#‘i was looking up why i dont want sex and i saw the word asexuality but couldn’t find much else maybe the GSA could help’#you can’t use info-not-on-the-internet as a plot excuse when. there is endless info about that on the internet? I don’t think this is set in#2005? also she doesnt even go ask the gsa#while her sex repulsion is a significant part of the book actual references to asexuality are extremely brief and half of it is shoved into#the last chapters. and it’s almost entirely her being self hating and the LI affirming her#anyway I can see the INTENTION is good here; the quality of writing just makes it all bad#like maybe these things are the author's experience and that's fine. the way it's written is uncomfortable.#i can tell all the 5* reviews are people who have never read an ace book before. i promise there is better#i think there’s gonna be a companion sequel about her roommate being aroace which. I don’t have super high hopes for writing-wise but I gues#guess I'm interested

Something I don't get is when someone is talking about things being expensive and then some americans are like, it's not actually a scary $125 guys it's actually only $80 which is still a lot but it's actually kinda reasonable for the item
And it's like no!!! It doesn't work like that!!! Just because it costs less in usd doesn't mean the person didn't actually pay that much!!
If you buy a mug for $125aud, and you live in australia, you're paying that in $125aud, not $80aud!! Currency conversion doesn't matter in the slightest for understanding because in practice it is functionally the same as paying $125usd for a mug in america!!
If I earn $15cad/hr, and someone in Poland is earning 15zł/hr, and they bought an item that was like 150zł, me converting that price into Canadian and being like it's actually not that bad bc it's only like $50cad :), it doesn't change the fact that that for them!! It was a lot more!! Like functionally that's the same as $150cad
Functionally 1cad = 1zł = 1aud = 1usd = 100¥
Like the only time currency conversion is useful is for figuring out how far your coin goes when used in another economy, not for understanding if an item is or isn't expensive for a person living in said economy
#op#i dont go on tiktok often but. a few weeks ago there was a thing with this influencer who bought a mug and didnt see the price first and was#shocked to see it was $125 and there was a lotta discourse about it even tho she wasnt really mean about the cup or anything#and there were people in the comments being like oh 80usd that's not as bad as i thought it was (prev thinking it was $125usd)#and i just. aughhhh#gestures wildly at my post#anyway. unless im buying something in another country i just cannot see the point in currency conversion for figuring out if something's#expensive in that currency#like gimme ur min wage/is there a functional equivalent of a dollar/monthly or yearly cost of living#and like yeah it's not perfect but imo its soo much better to understand things#im sure a repeated some things here but whatevs#this is also good for more accurate despair when buying anything in euros/pounds bc it may only be 18£ for them#but comparatively for me id have to spend like £30 😩#currency conversion hell euros are basically double canadian#also if im wrong on any price things do correct me. pretty sure my equivalents are correct but ive only ever lived in canada so :p#rant done now lol#does anything i said make sense? who knows. will i attempt to bury this in reblogs? absolutely!

IGNORE ME I'M SORRY I KEEP TALKING ABT IT i'm just so not used to my cat not being around and it kinda kills me inside to not hear him walking around or meowing or sleeping at the bottom of the staircase anymore... it used to be like a nightly routine where i'd go downstairs and make myself a drink and give him some water and now i just. don't even wanna go down there anymore.
#you really underestimate how different things will be when they're gone. 18 years of learning his new routines and favorite places to nap#and it's just all. gone. not like i didn't experience it but just the fact that i will never experience it with him again... it's so hard#& that's like the last vestige of my childhood gone too. i mean i got my current dog when i was around 13/14 and she's gettin' up there too#so it's just like. my life dropped out from under me and i'm desperately clinging to what is left but there's not much#everything feels so hollow and i don't know hoe to vocalize that because my family is always trying so hard to heal and i don't want to#make their grief process any harder by accidentally awakening the same latent feelings in them. or whatever#i just miss him so so much but i know we made the right choice. he was old and we had a lot of good years together and we saved him from#spending his last few days in suffering by ending his pain early and offering him as much love and warmth and comfort as we could#and i know he appreaciated it and i know he loves us all and like that's not the part i have issue with#it's just. his lack of presence. i don't deny that his ghost may be around (my famjly is very spiritual like that and i have heard him) but#physically he's gone forever except for chunks of his fur and whatever else is laying around#loss is just so fucking unfair because it's completely understandable and makes total sense but it will never ever be unable to be felt...#idk. i'm just exhausted and sad and i miss my little guy. hell i still miss my dog and that happened like 5 years ago#love never goes away it just changes shaoe and makes you really really sad and kinda wanna kill youself but that would make THEM sad#so. you gotta live. you gotta be brave.

I gotta talk abt this here 2 becos it’s just so perplexing. Loke. I’ve never rlly bothered to check before because I only rlly got fixated on LoZ recently and like. I had seen so much stuff online of people sexualizing or in general just like. drooling over Link. so I figured he had to be over 18. but. I just looked it up, and in every single incarnation Link is 17 and under. TOTK is the first game (to my knowledge) where Link is above the age of 18. What the hell guys.?.??..? Why have I not seen anyone talk abt this b4😭😭 Like. This changes Everything. Link x Sidon and Link x Revali are very much illegal (Revali is 21? In his 20s at least. And Sidon is not only a 100+ yr old Zora, but like. He’s like. 120+. So even tho zora age slowly he’s still like, equivalent to 20 something probably. This goes for all other champion ships too, these r just the two I see the most). And like. All these adults I’ve seen and am still seeing sexualize link online have been talking abt a 17 year old boy this whole time. Uhmm! I just found that interesting! Uhm!
#like is this just normal in the LoZ fandom??????#I’m so vexed and perturbed#no way these people have just not known his age the whole time too#maybe casual fans like I used to be wouldnt know but like. still?#he’s like 10 in the first game and 16 in adventure of link#and like. in the incarnations where he isn’t a little kid he’s never been older than 17#until TOTK.#and even then his age in TOTK isn’t like confirmed to my knowledge. he’s either 18 or 20 something.#ALSO I was just looking and apparently Mipha was like 55 when she knew Link and that correlated to his age. like dog years to human years#so Sidon being 135 (just looked it up) means he’s like… idek. idk how exactly Zora age but I imagine that’s older than 17#id like to hope I’m just a rlly uninformed new Zelda fan but like it’s hard to believe that there’s a way to justify any of this? idk#maybe it’s just me? maybe I’m the odd one here#(I rlly don’t think I am but whatever)#tloz#botw#rant#?#iguesss#brainrot
