So I watched the newest YJ episode…I am in shock. Please do not speak to me about it. I am utterly heartbroken…why did they do this?? Why??

Also I watched it way too early. I was not prepared. It is 8:52am and I am not okay😭

If you could either be in the DC universe or the Percy Jackson universe, which would you chose and why? If Percy Jackson, who is your godly parent? Or if DC, what are your powers and who is your mentor?

I'd personally chose Percy Jackson because hyper fixations galore! I'm also a child of Hermes, so, YES!

Kat why would ask me to choose between these two😭

But seriously: I think I’d also choose Percy Jackson—yes, there’s a lot of death and violence but in either universe, I would have to fight someone so I don’t think it’s fair to compare them tbh :3

I chose PJO because at the end of the day, it would be so cool to live in a world where gods and myths were real. Of course, ignoring all the child murder and general angst

I’m taking a women and gender studies class rn in college and currently the unit is talking about the Sumerian and Egyptian goddesses Inanna and Isis (currently writing a comparative essay on them). I cannot express how amazed I am looking at the different ways people try to explain how the world works and celebrating life and death,, It’s just super cool!!

(Side note: I don’t know if anyone’s read The Wicked + The Divine but I can’t stop thinking about that when I hear about Inanna, that comic series has ruined my life)

Anyway, as for godly parent, it’s probably Hades, not just because I like myths about the Underworld (though that’s a big part of it) but also because from the official website quiz, I am in Cabin 13☺️

(Also Hazel and Nico has siblings, who wouldn’t want that??)

2, 23, 31 for my ask game 🥰

Hello!

I only play Sims 3 so I’m going to answer my question based on that :3

(Also sorry the late reply)

Question 2: Least Favorite Sims world?

If I’d have to pick one I guess Adventureland only because I don’t use it much

Question 23: Favorite child/adult aspiration?

Surrounded by Family because I’m a big family simmer. Turn the Town is also a good one since I play a lot with supernatural sims and it’s pretty easy to complete

Question 31: Tag and give a shout-out to a simblr you really enjoy seeing posts from

I’ll shoutout two because i can <3

@wannabecatwriter @anamoon63

Also here’s my simblr side blog if anyone wants to check that out: @thedaydreaminggamer

Thank you for the questions :)

What's your favorite fanfiction you are currently writing?

Mine is Quest Parenthood: Challenge Accepted or Fall From Grace. Both are PJO AUs I am hoping to post over on Wattpad and AO3 soon. Do you want a dedication?

Right now, I think it’d be my Shadowhunters fic “The Moon” which I actually getting a chapter tomorrow for the first time in a month :’)

I watched the show over my senior spring break and I think it came at a perfect time because I was having anxieties about leaving high school and moving onto college so the show has become very special to me (currently reading the book series now) so I really like going back through the episodes (after I binged it in three days😭) and writing them out with some OCs :)

Anyway, enough of me rambling on. Yes! I’d love a dedication ^^

My A03 user is ImJustAGirlWhoLikesBatman if you want to do it over there too <3

@pomrania said: You'd probably be a BETTER teacher, but I voted "Din Djarin with a bunch of stolen Jedi texts and sheer determination" because I think the outcome of that would be unexpected and weird and awesome, and that always wins over "sensible option" for me personally.

I mean, never underestimate sheer gumption and love for one's kid. And we know Din will do anything for his lil green bean.

@ofcoming4th said: Now you AND Din with Jedi texts and determination? Unstoppable.

It's funny you say that because one time I told my students Luke Skywalker was Baby Yoda's teacher, and one looked at me blankly and said, "No, you are." Also I tell the kids when Baby Yoda visits it's because his dad dropped him off at my house, so a couple classes of preschoolers do genuinely believe me and Din are friends. He's been called on the toy phone to come visit a few times and I have to tell them he's busy in space, but I'll ask. XD

@materassassino said: How about Din not steal cultural artefacts that don't belong to Mandalorians?

I suppose I could've phrased it more clearly since I pictured him acquiring things that had already been stolen or abandoned. After all, Din may have a good heart but he works in the underworld. I don't see Din having a lot of scruples about buying Jedi stuff off the black market or scrounging through the ruins of a temple for texts and artifacts. Sure, I think he'd try to do it fairly if he had the opportunity, and seek out Luke or another Jedi first, but ultimately I feel like he wouldn't have qualms about acquiring stolen stuff (or potentially looting an location himself, if he had the opportunity) because it's for Grogu. It's not like he's stealing them to sell, he's trying to do it for his Jedi son and it's being used to teach a Jedi.

@aurora-light-blog said: I agree with pomrania, you're the best choice for teacher, but "jedi" teacher I picked Ezra. Though, I would have chosen you and luke if it had been a choice.

Of canon Jedi we know about rn, I actually lean towards Ezra. Ezra would definitely be able to guide Grogu through the process of having a father figure and balancing that with Jedi duties because of Kanan, and I feel like they would really dig the living Force together. (Ezra helping Grogu learn balance of nature and how to respectfully hunt frogs, for example.) Totes voted for myself though but that's because I would like to teach the baby.

@innerfanartisanzonk said: Din and Grogu could start a whole new Jedi order on Mandalor

I'm here for that. You think the jetpacks and flamethrowers were bad? Add in a lightsaber and nigh-impenetrable armor! Keepers of the peace OR ELSE. Ain't no younglings being slaughtered in that temple.

@ofcoming4th said: The 101 Yoditos series and art got me through some nasty pandemic times. Ika'ika for the win!

Awww. Writing Mandalorian fanfic carried me through for a while there too, so I'm really glad it helped others too. <3 And I am so glad to see my OC Yodito so well received!

@0rb0t ITS EXPLANATION TIME HEHEHEH unsure how familiar you are with genshin's lore so im just going off the basis that you're unfamiliar with 'common knowledge' lore. I hope I explain it all ok! pls feel free to ask questions!! <33 for image credit just click on it! essentially, fischl is a girl (roughly 14-19 based on her character model (genshin does this really funny thing with chara ages where nothing is confirmed and you gotta guess based on the models themselves)) who is constantly stuck in her daydreams and genuinely believes that she's a fictional character due to her upbringing. Her actual name is Amy, however she choses to go by the name Fischl as its the name of the protagonist (a german princess ruling over a kingdom of crows) of a book series called Flowers for Princess Fischl. At some point before the game's events, Fischl gets gifted a vision (a trinket that gives her powers) by the Goddess of Electro (the Electro Archon, the Raiden Shogun). With the recieving of this, a main character from the book called Oz, a dark purple and black coloured raven who helps Fischl in the books and is Amy/Fischl's imaginary friend, comes to life. During an event sometime 2(?) years ago I believe, Fischl got a new in-game outfit reflecting that of the book character's outfit. Me, being an obessed fischl main, grinded and got the outfit as fast as humanly possible HEHEHE the outfit is called Ein Immernachtstraum (but I refer to it as her princess dress for simplicity sake!)

Fischl's personality is quite regal of sorts, and very similar to Ciel's at times. She does her best to speak politely and because of it, ends up confusing a lot of people and having Oz need to 'translate' for her (example here! (link)). This happens so often in fact, that the few times that Fischl has 'broken character', it's been a massive bonding moment to show that she fully trusts the people she's with or been an emotionally charged moment, positive or negative. However, despite all the german references with her talents, signature weapon, skills, etc, Fischl isn't actually german herself. Quite a lot of her (and by extension, Oz)'s pronounciations are incorrect according to many german speakers who have spoken about the issue, furthering the idea that she's just playing a part and isn't actually a regal princess to some massive fortune. (note: a lot of people treat her like a child. because thats essentially just what she is, but there are few characters (such as Bennett) who refer to her by her royal title 24/7 and fully respect her as nobility.) Now, why do I compare her to Ciel? Ciel is a child in an adult's world. I'm in the process of rewatching all the animated stuff and after that I'm gonna waltz my way through the manga so pls forgive me if I'm a little but rusty here!! The motif of Ciel getting kidnapped somewhat frequently is something that's always struck me as I see it as something to show that despite how refined Ciel tries his best to be, he's still just a kid at the adult's table. As much as he tries to have control, he has next to none and so the kidnappings are a way to demonstrate how powerless he truly is. As who does he fall back on every time? Sebastian. Now, that aside, looking at everyone's favourite earl from surface level, he's the queen's guarddog, watching over the underworld whilst working with Sebastian to gain revenge against those who killed his parents. That's why the contract was signed in the first place (if i recall correctly. its almost 3am while im typing this im too tired to fact check rn LMAO); To make Sebastian Ciel's right hand man in exchange for Ciel's soul once the deed was done. I won't focus too much of Wriothesley as I don't have him in game and I haven't actually gone thru the mainline storyquests so I know jack shit about him other than the fact that he's basically pluto with a different colour scheme and a fancy job

and Neuvilette, in simple terms, is a water-based dragon in human form who rules over the justice system of the hydro nation, Fontaine. He's also highly associated with otters!

Neuvi is a fierce protector of those he cares for, and from memory, Wrio is the exact same. As these two get shipped together a lot, mainly due to their ingame interactions (and the fact their jobs actually align quite well from memory? think a cop marrying a judge. that sort of thing), I feel that they've make a daddy dream team hehe Now, back to sebaciel vs fischl x neuvi (x wrio as well if you wanna spice things up hehe i only added him really cause for the Japanese audio, Wrio shares the same VA as Sebastian!!!!!) I cant exactly remember where I was heading with this but in short, I think Fischl and Ciel are quite similar and the same goes for Sebastian and Neuvilette. That and Neuvi and Fischl are next to eachother in my team and the way my team works, its always Fischl placing Oz on the field and Neuvi coming in afterwards to blast the field with water to create Electro + Hydro damage and my own personal headcanon being that I believe Neuvi would treat Fischl with the highest respect and just like a princess. If Fischl and Ciel were to swap places I dont think much would change??? Like sure Oz is very similar to Sebastian, horrifyingly so, but I believe Neuvi would be a better fit. TLDR; ciel and fischl are a perfect match and so are neuvi and sebastian and i think neuvi x fischl as a ship is gonna be my next big brainrot alongside my current sebaciel brainrot!

late night thought i just realised while playing genshin. fischl x neuvi is just the genshin version of sebaciel. or even fischl x wriothesley. fischl x wriothesley x neuvilette if you will.

This is kind of random but I was just wondering if you have any poet recommendations? You're incredibly smart and have an immense knowledge of literature and I've always wanted to explore more poetry but I've never been sure where to start cuz the ppl mainstream (U.S) society deems as "classic" poets are usually like, old racist guys who definitely hated their wives and *sonic voice* that's NO good.

hello!!!!! ty for the lovely request!

my fave poem of all time the one i had on my wall and read every day for like a year is a litany for survival by audre lorde. i've read a lot of her poems and essays they're wonderful. my second fave is recreation and then afterimages.

i rec'd this recently it's a fave: the world keeps ending, and the world goes on by franny choi.

my fave june jordan piece poem for haruko.

these ones i keep open in safari tabs so it'll remind me to read it again: a map to the next world and conflict resolution for holy beings by joy harjo.

my fave ocean vuong poem essay on craft it knocks the breath out of me every time.

i love kim hyesoon tho i haven't read enough of her work and i recently found this poem translated by don mee choi: underworld (day forty-five) and it's incredible i need to find the rest of the poems in her series it aligns a lot with what i've been trying to write.

i've been meaning to buy a copy of postcolonial love poem by natalie diaz, i love this poem with a very long title tho it's from her other book.

hanif abdurraqib is one of my fave ppl on the internet as of last summer his poetry is incredible his articles on music are deeply moving here's his website. he also has 2 episodes on my fave podcast millennials are killing capitalism i highly recommend.

i can't think of any more off the top of my head rn but if you want more recs feel free to ask again! i'm always finding new poetry or rereading poetry and always forgetting which ones i liked before.

[coldgoldlazarus]

I guess my take on it, after thinking things over, is that we are at the three-fifths/two-thirds mark in the story

(Beacon - Mistral - Atlas - Vacuo? - Vale?)

If The Fall Of Beacon was the inciting incident, then Atlas is like, the hard loss, darkest-before-the-dawn (hey that sounds familiar to the books) point in the story where everything's at its worst

And then V9 looks to be kind of the whole underworld/rebirth point

So just from a purely story-structure standpoint, ending the volume on as bleak and hopeless a note as they did makes perfect sense, and for better or worse we're all feeling the level of desparation and despair the characters are going through rn.

This isn't like the End Of The Beginning where there was still a lot of reason to hope, this is a completely different situation, and it would have fallen flat for me if they were like "yeah nah everything's hunky-dory after everything that just happened wheee"

Am I still gonna side-eye the shit out of them for the suicidal note Penny 'ended' on here? Yeah, for sure. But if it contributes to her arc in the long run (again, everyone has flaws to overcome, even the most wholesome character in the entire show, and Penny is in a unique position to learn from this sort of mistake) I'd be willing to accept it, and unless I'm just really deep in denial I think there's too much reason to think she can and will be brought back to just dismiss the possibility offhand.

Pinnochio's original story having two deaths before the happy ending, the strange circumstances around this second death, and just, the basic strokes of the Hero's Journey are admittedly still pretty loose, but I do think it's juuust enough to make a compelling case. If this was the series finale I'd be feeling differently, but we're at the perfect point for something like this to happen and still be fixable.

Like, my trust is thinner than I'm maybe letting on, but it also hasn't completely broken just yet. However, if this is like, the final straw that broke the camel's back for you then that's fair enough, and you're not wrong to feel that way. Just wanted to say my piece here.

Also, Ruby being like "Rip to Salem and Ozma but I'm different" would be great

I'm either seeing through RT's ploy, or I'm so deep in denial that I'm meeting the Egyptian gods, and I'm honestly not sure which.

[batgirlgeek]

If you could either be in the DC universe or the Percy Jackson universe, which would you chose and why? If Percy Jackson, who is your godly parent? Or if DC, what are your powers and who is your mentor?

I'd personally chose Percy Jackson because hyper fixations galore! I'm also a child of Hermes, so, YES!

But seriously: I think I’d also choose Percy Jackson—yes, there’s a lot of death and violence but in either universe, I would have to fight someone so I don’t think it’s fair to compare them tbh :3

I chose PJO because at the end of the day, it would be so cool to live in a world where gods and myths were real. Of course, ignoring all the child murder and general angst

(Side note: I don’t know if anyone’s read The Wicked + The Divine but I can’t stop thinking about that when I hear about Inanna, that comic series has ruined my life)

Anyway, as for godly parent, it’s probably Hades, not just because I like myths about the Underworld (though that’s a big part of it) but also because from the official website quiz, I am in Cabin 13☺️

(Also Hazel and Nico has siblings, who wouldn’t want that??)
