#I'm pretty sure that they're basically all the same as on this blog.

[goro-majima-second-wife]

does that say Lil? i couldn't tell for sure but one that's carrying another- I'd like to hear about them! do you have more art you can link to for me to see too?

OOC: Yep! That would be Lil (Miyulil/ 80s Miyumi if I wanna be more specific)

The most basic description for her is that she is Y0's rendition of Miyumi! She's a hostess, aaaaand that's about it! This is when I wish I wrote some more stuff down- But from what I remember? She's been working as a hostess for about...? 6 years by the time the events of Y0 play out. During those 6 years she hopped from club to club since she kept getting fired, the most notable of those being at the Grand for half a second lmao. She dated Nishitani for a bit, then dumped him... then kinda regrets dumping him (girl just can't make up her mind...), has a MAD CRUSH on her current manager at Sunshine since she thinks the eyepatch is cute... She also toned down her entire gang leader persona just to get/keep customers at clubs? But ultimately all that did was rewrite her personality to be some ditsy bland hostess. I think the only thing she kept/adapted from that time was a decent workout routine and love for fighting. SO she does have a decent amount of muscle! (hence her picking up Yu aka 90s Miyumi).

All the links and images will be under the read more (since. there is kind of a bunch hgvferubshdin)

+ some extra images/wip that I found in my folders!

we love miyumi vision ^^

[marzipanandminutiae]

Dear marzi, for reasons of trying not to give period characters too modern fetishes in my smut, may I have some recs as to where I may find some of that olde fetish content you've previously seen?

On the Wikipedia page for the "corset controversy," unfortunately!

Historians have been taking obvious tightlacing fetish letters seriously for...way too long. And sometimes still are. Confirmation bias is a hell of a thing. Of course, there's no way to 100% tell which letters are fetish fuel and which are real, but generally any that use particularly heightened language or common erotic tropes- or that seem to fly in the face of evidence from extant garments, unedited videos, stock and advertisements from real corset companies, etc. -are to be viewed with suspicion.

(The same is true for letters used now to claim that nipple piercing was a real Victorian trend- for, indeed, the only source is anonymous magazine letters and many of them fall into the same obvious patterns as the tightlacing letters. One DOES describe the alleged process in detail...but it's basically the same as the process for ear-piercing, a service jewelers did commonly offer back then. Just applied to nipples. So whether it's real or not is still uncertain, but it's highly doubtful that large numbers of Victorian women were running around with nipple piercings given that no extant nipple rings have been found, such piercings are never mentioned in letters or diaries or other more concrete sources, etc.)

Besides that, I've seen glimpses of most modern fetishes in various sources:

the Psychopathia Sexualis, a medical manual of "sexual mental illness" (in heavy quotes because things like homosexuality and gender variance are mentioned under that heading), talks about everything from a fetish for tight boots and gloves on women, to bloodplay (initiated by a woman, actually, who wanted to drink her husband's blood), to force-femming, to some very elaborate femdom scenarios that I hope the sex workers in question were paid well for. Of course, since the cases are anonymous, these are also difficult to confirm- but clearly someone had THOUGHT of them, since they're written into the book.

And I've seen at least some of them in other sources, too, including some of the magazines that published the nipple piercing and tightlacing letters. The Englishwomen's Domestic Magazine was notorious for its letters on tightlacing, tight gloves, spanking, etc.

Photographic porn was definitely a thing almost as soon as photography came into being. A lot of it is pretty vanilla, but I could swear I'd seen piss kink photos (with urine painted in after development) before the blog where they were hosted went defunct

James Joyce's letters to his wife get into farting and scat fetish territory. Yes, really.

Speaking of letters, there was one man living here in Boston who, in the late 19th century, wrote letters to his wife describing erotic dreams of her as a giantess who pissed on him and then ate him. I cannot remember his name and it's going to drive me insane all day, but he was the head of Boston's censorship organization, the Watch and Ward society and these letters were first released by his own children for an unauthorized biography written five years after his death. Guess there was little love lost there.

BDSM is old. Like, really old. Old, to quote the sacred texts, as balls. I'm pretty sure there are sexual flagellation texts going back to the Renaissance, but don't quote me on that.

Basically, Rule 34 can be back-applied, too. If it existed, there was a fetish for it, probably. Of course, things that specifically involve modern technology or properties are out, but beyond that...the sky is the limit

[cloudyskydreams]

Hellow there

Can i request a headcannons on what wuld the skeleboys (ut, uf, us, ht) when Y/N ask them to get married?

And what wuld happen in the wedding nigth?

Feel free to use sfw or nsfw stuff

Thank you, i hope it is not too much

Hiii sorry this took awhile but I got it done! Mostly kept it sfw just some innuendos. I might do more wedding hcs in the future these were fun and I really like how they turned out ::3 anyways enjoy!!

Okay I'm assuming reader and skelebois have been in a established relationship for a bit here ::]

Undertale:

Sans:

His eyelights widen upon seeing the jewelry and hearing what you have to say. He looks from your hand to your eyes and back and forth over and over again. His grin grows so wide and he scoops you up into a hug as he shouts yes. He's crying and he burrows his face in your shoulder the happiest he's ever been.

Night of the wedding: He'd prefer a smaller wedding of close friends and family. He has a few puns slid into his wedding vows they're mostly to help calm his nerves. He's so proud to be called your husband, the wedding itself kinda had his nerves frazzled so he's happy to finally relax with you when you guys get home.

Papyrus:

He's flabbergasted. Orange tears escape his eyes and he's scooping you up in a hug and making you drop the jewelry making you have to find it later. You've just made him the happiest skeleton alive and he's desperate to make you the happiest person alive. He sets up an elaborate date he knows you would love and presents you with your own piece of jewelry at the end.

Night of the wedding: Doesn't matter small or big as long as your happy Paps is happy. The wedding was wonderful and Papyrus snapped so many photos and kept so many keepsakes from it. Sans speech as best man is basically a comedy routine and Papyrus is slightly miffed about his brothers awful humor tainting the best night of his life. He's so excited to spend his first night as your husband with you when home.

Underfell:

Red:

He shuts down. Sockets go dark, he's sweating, and he might even teleport away. When you hunt him down he's crying in a closet freaking out struggling to intake the air he doesn't even need. After he's calmed down he asks if you're sure and when you say yes he's crying again. He's never been happier I promise you.

The night of the wedding: Would prefer a smaller wedding but can put up with a medium or slightly large one for you. The wedding also stresses Red out. He's not used to fancy ordeals and such and he's just excited to get you into bed and have you all to himself ;;).

Edge:

His hand clenched around something in his pocket and he pulls out his own piece of handmade jewelry he had for you. Both impressed and a tad annoyed you beat him to it but he gratefully accepts no he's not crying that's sweat… Yes you can sweat from your eyesockets it's just extremely hot.

Night of the wedding: He prefers a big fancy ordeal. He handles the wedding pretty well he's used to fancy events. Looks absolutely drop dead stunning in his tux as well and he's defined strutting around showing you and himself off. He's got quite the night planned for you as your first night together married. Safe words are a thing for a reason.

Underswap:

Blue:

Does that jump reaction image (I'll find it hold on) Also was ready to propose himself, he's so happy you two were on the same page. He whips his jewlery as well ,he carried it around waiting for the perfect moment, so you guys can laugh over the situation. He of course says yes and happily attaches the new jewelry to you and himself before smooching you.

Night of the wedding: I feel like Blue would be fine with a big or small wedding its whatever you prefer.He's so excited to be called your husband he definitely posts about it on his blogs and updates his viewers quickly before dedicating the whole night to worshipping you. He even got some special lingerie for him to wear to show off just for you.

Stretch:

He's so desperately fangirling inside right now like jumping up and down, squealing, flapping hands, and nose bleeding mentally. He says yes and puts on the jewelry before smooching you as deep as he can. Immediately plans a cute date where he can present you with your own piece of jewelry to wear and a special song he wrote.

Night of the wedding: He'd prefer a medium or small affair but can deal with a larger wedding as well. Definitely gets drunk and trys to serenade you with shitty love songs and tries to get you to do a duet with him at one point. When you get home expect a bunch of drunken sweet nothings and him pulling you into bed for some love and affection.

HorrorTale:

Axe:

His eyelight shrinks and then expands to fill his whole socket and he simply watches you for a few minutes. You patiently wait until he places his hands on your shoulders and pulls you into him as he starts to purr. He slips the jewelry on and his purrs grow louder as he pulls you closer practically inside his ribcage.

Night of the wedding: Smaller wedding preferably for obvious reasons. He's stressed and really really quite. Way more than usual only really talking to you and his brother and only when he has to. When it's over he pulls you into his chest and burries his face in your hair to calm himself. He forgets about most of the traditions but he's been looking forward to this one all night ;;).

Willow:

He's shocked and in shock for a good while before asking if you're sure. He doesn't see himself as boyfriend material much less hubby material. When you enthusiastically affirm your intentions he starts to bawl like a baby and scoops you up for a kiss. He's so in love with you.

The night of the wedding: It was a smaller wedding for the sake of Willows peace of mind. He's so happy to be your husband he crys throughout the night and keeps kissing you gently whenever he gets the chance. He's constantly by your side the entire night.

Hi! Love your blog, it's such a brilliant resource, thanks so much for writing it.

So, I'm looking for more information on ways that someone would go about breaking someone else's neck. Long story short, it's for a murder mystery situation where I need the investigators to be able to look at the injury on the victims (in an autopsy context, not necessarily on casual examination) and go 'oh, that's a specific technique and it suggests our killer has military or similar how-to-kill-people combat training'. Any suggestions?

A shovel through the spine at the base of the skull?

So, the headlock neck break is basically a fantasy. The amount of force you'd need to actually shatter someone's neck in the way presented would be superhuman. (Which does mean there's probably examples as industrial accidents, but industrial accidents are a somewhat uncommon murder method. Mostly because they're not especially portable.)

Hilariously, there are multiple attempted murder cases, where the would-be killers tried to replicate that neck break, only succeeding in annoy their victims, and telegraphing their intention. So, someone were to try to snap someone's neck that way, it would be an excellent indicator that they had no training what so ever.

There are ways that someone can kill with a headlock, such as a blood choke, but nothing that's going to concretely point the finger at someone with a military background.

Similarly, stab wounds can be very informative about the killer. But all you'll really gather is how familiar they are with human anatomy, and how comfortable they are with cutting people-shaped meat. This won't help you distinguish between someone who's done this before, and someone who's done this before for their country. (Incidentally, “people-shaped meat,” isn't strictly a joke. There are lot of potential careers and backgrounds where you could become pretty comfortable cutting into animals, either live or recently deceased. So, in this specific case, that's more about the mindset. Someone uncomfortable with that level of physicality, is like to leave behind hesitation wounds. These are smaller cuts, sometimes in the main wound channel, indicating that they're not really comfortable with what they're doing.)

So far as it goes, I'm more a fan of just ramming a blade into an artery, rather than slitting their throat. The latter is a lot more work, but the former requires you actually know where to find someone's arteries quickly and efficiently. Which isn't necessarily a sure thing.

Even tool selection won't necessarily tell you much. Someone who's using a military knife might be ex-military, or they could be someone who uses surplussed equipment because it's cheap and relatively reliable. And that's assuming you can concretely identify the knife from the wounds it leaves. Which is also not especially reliable. You can tell how far the blade penetrated, and roughly how large it is, but that won't tell you if it was a bayonet or some cheap gas station hunting knife of a similar size.

Firearms present a similar problem. Once you can track down the gun (if there were any intact bullets to compare, which isn't a certainty), you might be able to match the gun to the wounds. But, examining the wounds on their own (especially if the bullets are gone, or buried deep in the corpse) will only give you an estimate of the bullet's size. Here's a problem with this, did you know that .38, .380, and .357 magnum are all 9mm rounds? They're different cartridges, but the bullets they spit out are very similarly sized. You might be able to make some educated guesses based on the wound channel and burns, but these all fire a round that's roughly the same size. So, when someone looks at a wound and definitively says it was a .38, they don't know that. (Unless they found the shell casing. But even then, you're not likely to find a .38 or .357mag shell casing unless the attacker specifically dropped their spent brass and reloaded, as those are revolver cartridges. .380 is a semi-auto round, so those will get kicked out after each shot. And, yes, before someone complains, there is .357 SIG, that's a semi-auto cartridge. It's 9x22mm.)

Also worth remembering, you can't, specifically match a shotgun's ballistics, assuming the shell was loaded with shot, and not slugs. You may be able to match the mechanical wear on the casing itself to a model (or multiple models in some cases), but not a specific gun.

So, how do you know it was someone with military training? You don't. Learning that someone's been trained to kill is a bit easier to pin down, but the information isn't that useful. That doesn't tell you if they're ex-military, ex-police, or even just the product of an extremely messed up homelife with a prepper parent. Or, even just they got extremely lucky (or unlucky) with a single stab.

Now, it isn't pointless to try to determine that, as it can be helpful later to demonstrate that the eventual suspect had the training to kill in the method that the victim experienced. But it doesn't do much to narrow the suspect pool on its own.

Ironically, the killer not having combat training. So, with things like defensive and hesitation wounds, can be far more useful for narrowing the suspect pool. As an investigator, when you're talking to someone that you're sure has been certified in knife combat, isn't likely to be especially messy with their stabbings. (Though, to be fair, even a trained knife fighter might stab their victim many times, to ensure a faster bleedout, and not all of those hits are going to be especially artful.)

So, that's a long way from, “you can't really break someone's neck like you see in the movies.” You can kill people, and as an investigator, you can make a lot of educated guesses based on what you find at the crime scene. But, “this method means they were militarily trained,” doesn't really mean they were trained by the military.

new to the fandom, hello. i've seen a few posts on your blog about blitz's bad spelling being rooted in dyslexia, however i've noticed that all imps seem to have bad spelling, all the way back to flashbacks of the circus.

one could argue i suppose that spellings seen at the circus are written by his dad, and that dyslexia runs in the family. but i think the consistent imp misspellings are intended as another indication of how lower class imps are - that they are uneducated, perhaps not allowed to receive education, and thus don't know *how* to spell.

Welcome. I disagree, and I think you expected that.

I'll start with the claim you based everything on.

"I've noticed that all imps seem to have bad spelling, all the way back to flashbacks of the circus."

Now, I really dug. And I could only find one example of something spelled incorrectly in any of the circus flashbacks. This is from "Oops."

Okay. Someone spelled fireworks comically wrong. My bet is Cash (whatever the cause), and idk... we haven't seen a pattern. Just the one example. Maybe he's dyslexic too. Maybe he's poorly educated (more on that later). But that would all be more in the headcanon realm for me.

Other things are spelled correctly at the circus.

The only other non-Blitz example of an imp being unable to spell something is Striker in "Mastermind" struggling to spell/say grimoire. But who can blame him? I struggle to spell grimoire, and I'm a human with a masters degree.

Beyond that, Fizzarolli, Millie, and Moxxie (you know . . . all the secondary imp characters) are shown spelling things correctly.

Fizz uses shorthand and repeats letters for emphasis here and there, but all of the words that he fully spells out are spelled correctly. There's nothing that can really be called a spelling mistake here.

The same can be said about Millie's texts in "Seeing Stars." She uses shorthand, but it seems intentional. You can compare her spelling to Blitz's directly here. "Mackin" in this context just doesn't have a slangy/shorthand explanation in the same way. Neither does "were" for "where." This is because spelling is automatic for Millie, but it isn't for Blitz. He's using phonetic(ish) guesses.

We also have Moxxie writing down a report that Blitz dictates in "Mission: Antarctica."

The guy can spell perfectly.

But-- honestly? You only have to be familiar with Moxxie as a character to know that his spelling would be flawless . . . For example, look at how he calls Blitz out for his spelling and grammar in "Spring Broken."

Blitz is the ONLY character with a recurring pattern of poor spelling. And if the writers didn't want us to make something of it, they wouldn't keep showing it to us in almost every episode. Now his spelling isn't always bad (he does alright in his apology notes and then in his reports in the shorts- IF Moxxie isn't still writing for him). And I wrote a piece of meta here that explains why I think it might show a form of self-accommodation that's super common for people with learning disabilities.

Now. I'd like to talk about imps and education briefly. Yes, imps are marginalized by their society, often poor, and expected to work for higher demons. But I don't think they have it much worse in terms of education and daily life than say . . . marginalized people in today's real life societies. Their roles are more rigid, yes, but they do hold a range of jobs and participate fully in demon life in multiple rings of Hell.

Are imps on average less well educated than demons higher on Hell's hierarchy? Yes, I'm sure. But remember, Blitz tells us he dropped out of a college, and for that he'd have to be . . . you know, allowed to start at one. And we see imps being very competent consistently. I haven't seen anything that suggests that they're not allowed to be educated (though they're pretty clearly not allowed to access magical artifacts), so I suspect that most imps receive a basic education.

Now do some marginalized people in real life end up illiterate (completely or in part) either because their education is horribly disrupted or inadequate or because they have a learning disability that isn't properly addressed? YES. Do some people with dyslexia still struggle to spell in daily life even if they're well educated and absolutely literate? Also yes.

Imps have a range of experiences in a society that is complex (even if it's in the process of being fleshed out) and reflects our own in many ways.

Blitz is dyslexic. Thanks for reading.

hi!!what do you think strade, law, and ren would react to a goth mc? love your blog btw💗

YEAH GOTHS RISE UP!!!!!!!!! as a fellow goth, love this ask and I'm gonna be totally normal about it 🖤

ren 🦊

urghhhhhhhh

he's one of those fucking "need a thicc goth to sit on my face and ruin my life" assholes on twitter so. he'd be normal for sure!

no he wouldn't, ren sucks, he would be so fetishy and gross about it

okay i'm being mean. he just...likes high aesthetic in any circumstance, so he'd instantly be attracted to an mc that has something specific to them

dolly fashion, e-girl, goth, lolita, he'd be obsessed whatever it was.

that being said, he'd only really be involved for the aesthetics

like (depending on what kind of goth you are) he'd be down with the eyeliner and the fishnets and the black on black

more than down, he'd love it! he thinks the fishnets and the leather and latex is super hot, and he'd loveeee any opportunity to see your makeup get messed up (lipstick smearing, tears ruining your eyeliner, etc)

but like. he's not going to be invested in much else. that's something for you, he just likes the way you look

law 🥀

law is basically goth already, change my mind

like in spite of not having much of an aesthetic about them, they're death-obsessed, super macabre and morbid, collect animal bones and make ART with said animal bones

that's not even discussing the poetry, the journalling, the melancholy they feel on a day-to-day basis. they've got a smiths album somewhere in their shitty apartment

they're goth!! tell me i'm wrong!

if you gave them a The Cure cd, they would be sooooooo into it. just staring at the ceiling like "yeah...he gets it".

they still prefer the smiths though. morrissey just gets them (unfortunately)

you'd be a goth power couple.

you're in your goth get-up reading poppy z brite out loud in a cemetery, they're prepping a wet specimen for you to display on the shelf they gave you in their apartment

you'd be full poppy z brite, drawing blood actually! maybe they try to kill you once or twice, just so you can see the river and they can make sure you're really like them, but that's okay.

it's just the gothic beauty of your relationship

they still love you <3

strade 🔨

i think that strade is a little alt in his own right too

like. he's got the cunty new rocks. he's got piercings. he's got long hair as a man. okay goth eurotrash, i see you! <3

this was definitely when he was younger, he looked a lot more alt, but as he gets older, it settles down

but he still likes your goth look a lot <3

just kind of in the dirty old man way though

wearing something short or low cut? you're going to get a wolf whistle and a slap on the ass

fishnets? come on now, you're just asking for trouble~

if you had more of a modest goth approach, he'd be less horned up but he might comment on it all the same. your legs look good in that, your waist looks pretty small in that belt, have you thought about throwing a harness on that?

granted, maybe a harness would be a bad choice...give him too much leverage for throwing you around and pulling you in close <3

and naturally, he'd get pretty excited from making you upset by ruining your clothes and makeup

he can only keep his sadistic inclinations at bay for so long now. what do you expect?

definitely doesn't help if and when you show up in his streams and his audience gets a good look at the 'new pet' he's keeping all to himself

you know what they say about goth girls, right? they're all kinky as fuck, you'd probably get off on whatever he did to you...

nice to see you living up to that particular stereotype <3

This is it, the tarot reading to end all tarot readings. I wanted to make a full future spouse tarot reading because I didn't want to divide them into bits, considering they are all, technically, the same topic. I also like to focus on more of a self-growth and acceptance thing on my blog, even if I still like and consume future spouse readings. We all want to love and be loved, so these readings are in order.

This reading, as you can see, is divided in topics. You can choose the topic you want to know the most about or, of course, read all of them. It's up to you. I'll be doing another reading about your relationship later. First images are by John Singer Sargeant, second images I have no idea, and third images are Edmund Blair Leighton.

Disclaimer:Tarot does not replace any sort of advice from a trusted professional that went to college for 8+ years to be there. It also does not always get things right. The future changes all the time and a responsible tarot reader can only assure 80% of their readings will be correct at any given point in time. Remember to take what you look at and go “huh, that could be me,” and leave the rest. Be conscious about your tarot content consumption and drink lotsa agua, amigo(a)(x). Private readings here.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

Pile 1

Cards: Ten of Wands, Knight of Wands, Eight of Swords, Four of Cups, Justice.

Muscular, maybe because of physical labor. I specifically see someone carrying wood on their shoulders. The opposite is true for feminine aligned people, and they can be quite petite and delicate.

Their fashion sense is very basic if they are more masculine. I'm seeing mainly white shirts and jeans. They might like to brush their hair back. Very Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. If they prefer a feminine appearance, I see someone who likes vintage fashion a lot. Jessica Kellgren-Fozard.

They might have longer hair. I don't see anything special here other than it's dark and wavy. Maybe 2b and c curves, with some 3a. I believe they take care of their hair and wanna make sure it's pretty, either with gel or rollers. For some of you, they can have golden hair, but it's a very small portion. Most here have dark hair and eyes.

They could dance. They have a very specific body type, both sides, and can be very graceful. I feel like their hips don't lie.

They could have an off putting first impression. They don't look like they want to engage with strangers. The feminine energies here want to TRY to, but the masculine doesn't even bother (being a woman is social Hell after all). Either resting bitch face or a melancholy air. Some might look like they're about to cry any minute.

I believe the feminine energy could have a bigger chest. The masculine has a broad one as well. They are both full, body wise. I believe their waist is, nonetheless, small.

They are young looking. Could be younger than you. Round face for the feminine and chiseled for the male, but with enough fat here and there to denote a younger complexion.

Pile 2

Cards: Lovers, Five of Cups, Four of Pentacles, Ten of Wands, Two of Pentacles rx, Fool.

They can be genderfluid, with the Lovers here. Either genderfluid or a cis person who is very liberal with the way they dress, and don't believe that clothes have gender. Someone who can look good in anything. Marilyn Monroe rocking the potato bag and looking beautiful vibes. Someone who dresses in vibrant clothes. Someone who likes a sparkle.

Alternatively, with the five of cups, I also am picking up someone who might look forlorn and dress in a lot of black, a lot of beige, a lot of muted colors. Either way, most of them know what looks good on them, even if it's all based on vibes. A more somber look.

They might look taller than you. With the Four of Pentacles, it's almost as if you are the coin, very small compared to them. Could be you two are the same height and this person is just bigger energetically or more expansive than you. Mostly though, I'm seeing they're super tall. They tower over you. Long legs or torso.

For hair color, I'm seeing blonde because you also got the Fool. Red too. I'm leaning a lot towards more traditional tones. Could be dark too, but someone out there is a blonde and they're coming in very strong. They have golden hair, kind of like pile 1's person.

For people who are feminine leaning and cis, I see small breasts. I see a very lean figure, someone who has a small butt too. Heroin chic, although I hate that term. Edie Sedgwick and Twiggy. Could wear a binder as well, if they are on a more Trans spectrum. For cis men, definitely also lean, and strong. They could definitely carry you over their shoulder.

Most people here have very short hair. I see that they might have had a lot of hairstyles over the years (or changed their entire style a lot). Nowadays, short is mostly the rule. Practical. Easy to take care of.

Pile 3

Cards: Sorry, I forgot to take note :(

This person is younger than you by maybe two to three years. If not, then they definitely look like it a LOT. They don't seem like they age, so could be from a race that doesn't wrinkles. Could be of Asian or African descent, or just someone who's blessed with amazing skin. They could also have a skin care routine. Boyish, girlish good looks.

They have an adorable smile. Pearly white. The kind of smile that leaves the person petrified.

Most here dress in a casual, but still good looking way. They do casual chic really well. The people in this group could also be well off, but not show it. I see a lot of hoodies, sunglasses, cargo pants, crop tops, gold jewelry. Masculines don't wear accessories, feminines wear a lot. Several bracelets and earrings. Some could be stereotypical skater boys and girls.

A lot of people here are of a mixed race. I'm seeing a lot of green eyes, black eyes, and some blue. No hazel, no light browns, really dark or really green/blue. I'm also sensing wild curly hair, especially for the masculine energies. For female, long long hair, down to their waist, that they put on a ponytail. Could also decorate their hair with something, gold thread for some, but this is a very exclusive message.

Like pile 2, they also have a forlorn look. I'm thinking Robert Pattinson in Batman for some reason. This is not obvious though, it's the kind of thing you catch them doing when they're recharging. You can tell they carry a lot of baggage just by the way their body posture changes.

They could have chapped lips (they bite them a lot). Also wear glasses for some of you. I'm also seeing they carry themselves with confidence for the most part, especially the masculines. They could look quite good in reds, yellows and oranges.

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

Pile 1

Cards: Ace of Pentacles, Eight of Swords, Justice, Ace of Swords, Six of Pentacles, Lovers.

Your future spouse is a cute person. So cute it made me a bit sick, honestly. I think this is the appearance they put forward the most, with the Lovers here. They want to seem like a cute cute person. Personality wise, though, I think this is just a little bit of a facade and it's specifically for the internet. They could be on tiktok or be tiktok famous, but this is just for a very few of you. They want to be out there in the public eye in some capacity though, and will likely achieve it either soon or in the distant future. This person wants to be seen as pristine and pure. They want to always have a clean slate to back them up. They might have anxiety in regards to seeming perfect.

They are overall a balanced person with a caveat. I believe they hide that they have some mental illnesses, most prominently depression, anxiety, and maybe OCD (but the kind no one tells you about, the taboo thoughts, or religious, moral OCD). They are very nice though. Their vibe reminds me of Robin from Cavetown. He is very soft spoken and delicate as well.

I believe your person could be of the sign of Capricorn. Also Pisces and Scorpio. These are just vibes I'm picking up, no particular cards to sustain it (or astrology knowledge). They could have a bit of a scatter brain. The energy in itself is very soft and scattered, almost as if they don't know who they are. The image they put forward is the one they wish they were, but I'm not sure it's their fully formed personality yet. They could be very young, but I'm mostly picking up on people from the ages of 19 to 24. They have a "lost" vibe.

This person could also be overtly nice to others, especially people they want to impress. Very nervous energy, over explaining things. I see that they are supremely nice to you, though. They definitely like to see Justice being served, as the card suggests, and might always make sure that people are put in their place morally. They seem like they aren't someone who attacks people online, but they could just stay mad in their room. They believe that, considering they have no problem being a good person, that others shouldn't either. They were probably raised on the internet and believe that they are the only ones who know how the world should work. Self righteous.

I think this person likes deep, philosophical discussions, with the Ace here, but don't have what it takes to finish them. Their discussions never have a solution or a conclusion, they simply end. It's like they create these hypotheses in their head, make them really big, and then let them go just as they began. They could be an absolute avid reader, devouring books of all sorts, but specially non-fiction (Didion, Sontag, Weil, Girl Interrupted, Prozac Nation), and emotional fiction (Virgin Suicides, A Little Life (could have read this one just cause everyone was reading it), Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre). I also believe they secretly like YA, but that's not as cool to showcase on the internet. They're all about appearances, but I think it's because they don't know who they are yet. Again, they're projecting the image they want to achieve someday. They're faking til they make it.

For quirks, one could be that that they bite their lips a lot. Another one is a penchant for standing by doors and putting their foot on their ankle, making a perfect four. This person might like bunny rabbits and be seen with them all the time. I can see them with one in their arms and, for some of you, the urge to draw them this way or take several pictures. I think this person likes animals in general, though. Big fan of nature too.

Your FS' Anthem According to my Liked Playlist on Spotify:

(Again, this is the melancholy they hide deep into themselves. They hate the part of their psyche that is sad, although they indulge in it a lot. Before they become themselves entirely, they need to get in touch with the darkness).

Pile 2

Cards: Two of Wands, Queen of Swords, King of Cups, Tower, Knight of Cups, Eight of Swords

The first thing I'm getting here is that there is a duality to your future spouse for some reason. The Two of Wands and the Queen of Swords are facing opposite directions. I believe this person has a lot of dreams that they believe are simply not reachable by logical means. Alternatively, there could be a disconnect between who they are and how they present themselves as well. On the outside, they can seem like a visionary, someone with a really different or sharp vision of the world, someone with ambitions, with a confident stride. On the inside, they are pragmatic, logical, even a little egotistical. They are terrified, which is something they don't show the world. They are afraid none of their visions will actually materialize.

Interestingly, your future spouse also has a King of Cups and the Tower. I believe they are very emotional, and not as emotionally balanced as they wish they were. I also believe they can be self-destructive at times. Maybe prone to impulsive behavior. That beng said, they are genuinely sweet and kind. And they are confident too. There's just a lot of things under the surface. I believe they deal with these things on their own, with no one to bear witness. It is easier to do so for them, lick ther wounds like a cat.

Your future spouse could be an extrovert. I definitely see them in the middle of everyone, maybe on a stage (for a very few of you, maybe one person). I believe they like to cheer people up, they love to tell jokes, they might be extravagant. They are definitely a whole person. They cry, love and laugh with intensity, even if on the inside they are more observant and introverted than people usually first see them as. They like to recharge their batteries and spend a long time at home, but once they are out, they are out. They love to party (with a few loved ones, I don't see any clubbing), and to celebrate. They might cry often as well.

I also sense they adore animals, dogs especially. Maybe they have fish, and echidna for some of you (not sure if you can own these everywhere in the world), rats, snakes. They just love to have a little guy with them. Something to take care of, or maybe to take care of them. They believe that having animals helps them heal. They definitely feel trapped by things, perhaps the world at large, other people, life. As extroverted as they are, they definitely like to be with specific people and on their own more. They like to have their environment and space. For some of you they could play an instrument.

Your future spouse doesn't tell all right away. You don't get to know them from just one or two conversations. I think a lot of you reading this group believe you are good at reading people, but I don't know here. I don't think you can tell who this person is by just being with them. Maybe you need a little more time, a little more patience. You could be with them and they'd tell you something about their life and personality and maybe you're shocked, but not in a bad way, just delighted you never once picked that up from talking to them. If they hadn't mentioned it directly, maybe it'd take you years. This person is truly interesting and they sound pretty cool. Sort of rare too. There's not many of this person out there in the world.

Age wise, I believe they are anywhere from 20 to 29 right now (not when you meet, but who knows?). Some of them could be in their thirties, but that is not necessarily for most of you. Definitely twenties/late twenties. They definitely give me a mature, wistful vibe, like they look out into the world with knowing eyes and wisdom.

Your FS' Anthem According to my Liked Playlist on Spotify:

(I love this vibe. It's pretty cool. They might age backwards, this person, but they could also have am effortless cool vibe. Unfortunately, they give me Edward Cullen vibes (considering Lost Boys is about vampires, but I don't feel that movie here), but none of the abusive gaslighting, observing you while you sleep in your room without your permission vibe (which I understand takes up most of the character). I've actually been re reading Twilight because I hate/love it so much, and Edward is depicted kind of like the bad boy with feelings? I don't think your person is a bad boy, but they have a lot of intensity and a lot of feelings. Idk, it's cool though).

Pile 3

Cards: Moon, Justice, Six of Swords, Hermit, Ace of Wands, Seven of Cups.

This is a person who carries a lot of weight. They could be famous someday. I'm not sure, but they could be famous now as well. I don't wanna encourage anything weird, though, and you might not marry anyone famous (don't attach yourself to that). Still, I think that, if not that, your person is universally beloved. There's something about them that makes them really important, and really stand out. They're like a cat too, for some reason, maybe just as graceful. They're like this force, people just look at them when they are in a room.

I believe this person is very attached to justice, and social justice perhaps. They could like to help and to donate to causes. Maybe not donate, because they don't really know where the money goes, but they are very well-spoken and outspoken about this. I keep seeing someone on a one on one interview, but again, not sure. They are definitely someone who speaks with their hands as well. They could be animated, but I'm sensing someone who just gets upset depending on the topic.

They could have a lot of anxiety, racing thoughts, and maybe even apnea from time to time. Panic attacks could be in order. For as much as they have to offer the world, this person has a lot to deal with to compensate for that, mostly in their own head. They like to be balanced and strong, but they're truly very much a mess. It's cute and endearing in a way. They make a good show of someone who is faring way better than they are and then at home they just cry and let it out, and call their mom and go "mom please, I'm scared, come pick me up."

They definitely like to think a lot, about themselves, about the world, about the state of things. I believe they might like philosophy and history. They are definitely worldly, or try to be worldly. They like to enjoy any opportunity that they have to come into contact with people who are different than them, or had different experiences in general. They try to keep an open mind and might even have too much of an open mind at times, always making sure not to judge people too much. I think they don't think they can do that, actually, considering who they are as people.

They are fun, and lively, but also caustic, could be prone to sarcasm. High wit. They could be mean at times as well, or have a fast tongue for insults. I don't think they do insult you or anyone else though, because of their aforementioned penchant for non-judgmental behavior. Still, they can be quite bitchy, and complain about things. They could also whine. This person has a lot of flaws, but they are sweet though. Weirdly sweet. They might do a lot of things for you, from grand gestures of love, to cooking, to taking you out on a whim (although they could be more of a homebody considering the hermit). They try their best to make you happy because you make them happy. They think that a person like them doesn't necessarily deserve someone like you.

I don't see that they are a bad person at all, just lost and selfish at times. I think they believe they either made a lot of mistakes or they can't control themselves very well. They're not violent, they're kinda like a puppy, just entirely scared. Very interesting. They have a lot of traits wrapped up in one person. They can be confident, warm, assertive, kind, generous, and then bitchy, scared, cold, logical, pragmatic, jaded, cynical... A rich inner world, full of possibilities.

They definitely like their time alone, but they like to grant you permission to be with them. Time alone with you says the same thing to them. You two might spend a long time silently doing your thing, reading, just hanging out together. That's perfect for them. They might never have had this before, or, alternatively, that relationship ended badly anyway and they thought no one could feel this void again.

For age, I don't know. They seem older than you, but eons older. I don't know why, maybe it's just their vibe. I feel like they are probably more than four or five years older, maybe ten for some, but I don't think it's that much. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I still believe they see you as their equal regardless.

Your FS' Anthem According to my Liked Playlist on Spotify

(I actually took this one twice because the first one was Genetic Repo Man and I knew this was not gonna resonate with the audience at all and would be difficult to explain. Still, I'll include both. You're welcome. Mostly, I think your future spouse likes to present themselves as more dangerous than they are or edgier in a way, when they're literally mostly just a guyTM (gender doesn't matter here, I identify as just a little guy and I have just a little guy energy too). I believe that Genetic Repo Man has the vibe they wish for and 99 Red Balloons has the vibe they actually embody. I think they also might be too complex to condense into two songs. Maybe a whole Playlist would be better).

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

I'm extending first impressions to more than just first meeting and giving it a more "first few conversations" vibe. I'm also adding their "second" impression of you, which is really just their overall, lasting impression of you.

Pile 1

Their first impression of you.

Cards: King of Cups, Ace of Cups, Death, King of Wands, Eight of Cups rx, Lovers.

I don't think they'll think you're the "One" right away, but I do believe they'll see something is up. At least, they'll be a little interested in you that way. They think you're quite intense. For some, it could be your manner of dressing. For others, I think it's your stare, the way you glare at them. A lot of them think that, if you are not the "One", you could make yourself be, if that makes sense. You could make them like you if you wanted to, if you gave them the romantic, flirty sort of attention. I feel them a little stiff around you, maybe a little scared, because of this Death card here. You could be a Goth, wear goth attire, like I mentioned. It's all very intimidating.

They do think they'd like to make a move on you after a while, but they are afraid you're gonna reject them, or not think that they're good enough for you. You could be surrounded by other people and not give them much attention in general. They'll start to think you're sweet and funny as time goes on, and be able to loosen themselves up in your presence. I believe once you two talk a little more their first impressions will turn around and they'll find out they shouldn't have been scared in the first place, because you're pretty receptive and warm. They believe you are someone who doesn't quit, for some reason. I also think that, after the first few conversations, they'll realize that you don't leave people and places behind if you truly love said people and places. Some of them will feel safe learning that. I have no clue how they'll learn that, because it's pretty specific, but they will.

Their "second" impression of you.

Cards: Page of Pentacles, Four of Wands, Emperor, Two of Pentacles, Moon rx, Queen of Wands.

They think you're amazing. They also think that you are a warm and caring presence. They are absolutely floored about how you turned out to be. It's a feeling of "I'm so, so, SO glad I got to know this person." I feel a very stable energy here, as if they are sure you are never gonna leave now (remember they also thought that after having a few conversations with you, but now they are sure sure).

They think they truly found their "other half of the orange," as we say here. With the Two of Pentacles, they believe you two work REALLY well together. More than that, they also believe that you are an amazing multitasker, and that they can trust you with anything. Any responsibility, any problem, anything and you'll handle it.

With the Queen and the Emperor, they couldn't be more grateful to have you in their life. A strong, independent person that somehow chose them to have as their partner. They see you as somewhat of a force of nature. They do think you are soft like a breeze, but even the strongest breezes will move things out of the way. I think their slight fear and intimidation of you turned out to be awe. Ok, in all fairness, I AM picking up that they are still a little scared, but I believe that it commands respect and admiration in them, rather than a fight or flight instinct.

This person also, through it all, see you two as equals. You have what they don't have and vice versa. It's like you were made for them. The Postal Service song came to mind, Such Great Heights. "And I have to speculate that God Himself did make us into corresponding shapes, like puzzle pieces from the clay," it's like they believe they couldn't have found anyone better for them if they tried. 10/10.

(There's a lot they wanna talk about you, but it's such an overwhelming, anxious, excited, puppy-like energy that I can't translate it all, it gets mushed. So, it's probably because of the many people who are gonna pick this pile. If you wanna know more, you can get a private reading, or wait until one of my games is open someday to ask more abt it).

Pile 2

Their first impression of you.

Cards: Two of Cups, Knight of Pentacles, Death, Ace of Cups, Chariot, Six of Swords rx.

The first thing I thought was that, differently from pile 1 where there's a loading period, your person is gonna know right away that they want to marry you. It's a no brainer. I don't know if it's your appearance, mode of speaking, way of being, or all of it, or maybe nothing in particular as well, but something will sound off in their brain that'll make them go "Huh, that one. That's the one."

Their first impression of you is that you are likewise a force of nature, but different. You're unassuming. Most people would look at you and see there's something odd there, but not necessarily be intimidated or anything. It's something about your aura and what happens after people are in your presence for a while that tips them off that you are not a regular person. Your future spouse is gonna see that faster than most, and maybe relate to that and know they can trust and talk to you.

In fact, they can talk to you about anything. That's one of the big ones, they might have a hard time opening up to people because they are likewise weird and unusual, but with you they know it's okay. They know they can be themselves, even if there's some left over anxiety from before, they are ok with being more like what they are inside in your presence, even on the beginning stages. That's a win right there. The poem "Alone" by Edgar Allan Poe came to mind. Take a peak at that for more info on how your future spouse navigated through life until finding you (and it might resonate with you as well because I believe you are much in the same way).

Their "second" impression of you.

Cards: Page of Swords, Magician, Ace of Wands, Ten of Pentacles, Emperor, Four of Pentacles

I don't think it changes much from one to the other. I believe your future spouse's lasting impression of you is an even more pronounced version of the first one, which was already a feeling I had when I read the first bit. They think you're amazing, they think you're brilliant, and they are happy to know that they weren't wrong, although I also have a feeling they knew they were not gonna be wrong. They read you perfectly the first few times that they met you.

With the Magician they also believe you have a lot of power to make things happen. I'm not sure that they are spiritual or believe in manifestation (could go either way), but they definitely believe you have what it takes to make your dreams come true. With the Ten, they think that you'll be the perfect person to build a stable foundation with, have kids and everything. A lasting legacy. With the Emperor, they have no qualms in letting you lead. They might even be into it in other ways. I'm keeping this one PG though, so don't hit me.

With the Four of Pentacles, they noticed you are careful with money, to the point of being a little too penny pinching. They understand that, for some of you, you come from a place of poverty or limited means, so they admire this quality rather than hate it. I also think that they admire your ability to be knowledgeable in all topics, or to always be willing to learn with this Page. You're pretty free with your interests, and you never hold your opinions so tightly that you are not willing to change them in the face of facts, which they also like.

Pile 3

Their first impression of you.

Cards: Ace of Wands, Five of Pentacles, Four of Cups, King of Pentacles, Hermit, Ten of Swords.

Holy shit, pile 3, you are unavailable. This energy is even making me laugh a little bit, for some reason (maybe that's the reaction people would have seeing your future spouse scrambling around to get you to pay attention to them). You are giving no shits, you are not even looking at them (but not in a femme fatale, I hate men, or whatever way, more like in a "wait were you looking at me? Sorry, man I didn't see ya there" way). A lot of this here is about how they wanna to do something, but they can't. You give the impression of not wanting to be in a relationship right now and might even be in your own world.

Uh, I have to stop reading Twilight (don't @ me), but your energy reminds me of Bella's in the first book (DON'T. @. ME.) when she's just getting to Forks and everyone wants her attention and she's like "I wish I would just die :)." I think you're way more confident than Bella, you just don't like unwanted attention. You might have some issues with trusting people easily (not to a pathological degree, more to a careful degree) and you want to choose people to be in your vicinity, so you can be standoffish (but never impolite or rude). Your future spouse is very dejected.

They also believe you know things, more than them. That's the vibe this Hermit here is giving, because he looks like a character in a fantasy novel who knows everything and lived many lifetimes. They believe you are like that too for some reason. Maybe you'll be known for something in the future and they actually know you before you two are formally introduced. I think it's mostly in passing though, they didn't expect to like you or want to be your friend/lover. Not that you're bad, it's just that it never even crossed their mind you'd like them back and now you're super standoffish and it's clear to them you don't want to be around anyone in that way, so they're going through a tough time here. After I collected the cards, I realized there was more here, but I believe that it'd be individual, messy messages, so this is the general gist of it.

Their "second" impression of you.

Cards: Two of Pentacles, Eight of Cups, Star, Ace of Wands, Knight of Swords, Ten of Cups.

With the Star here, they think you literally are a star. They still don't know how you are giving them the time of day, but you are. I had to take clarifiers for this one, because it's sort of a confusing energy. It's like they are happy that you are with them, but still terrified you might leave or they might do something inadequate which is not really a good energy to have in a relationship. I think it's in their head, but if they're not a bad person, maybe be a little more lenient on them. If they're supposed to marry you, then everything will work out. I think their second impression is mainly about learning about your boundaries.

They think you're awesome and they are pretty intimidated by you. Different from pile 2, they are definitely into it. I don't know if it's in that way, but they like the idea of having someone so cool by their side. It could be that you are known, and they are not, but I'm getting more like a they are known too, but not for the same things, or you two are perfectly aligned. What you got they don't and vice versa (similar to pile 1's energy, but way more high strung). If you two are not known for anything and you are literally just there, the last one is definitely why they are grateful to have you. It's almost a yin and yang kinda thing, although I feel like they would avoid using those kinds of terminologies because it's lame.

Again, they fear that you are just gonna up and leave. This could be, for some, because of an inclination they have, and some trust issues that are coming from them. For others, it's just natural anxiety, fear of losing something good, fear of losing the one they believe is the perfect match for them. I don't think that you are going to just drop them, but they believe you will, because they believe, maybe, that they are not good enough for you, and you will find out. A sort of imposter syndrome. It'd be beneficial to them if they talked to you about this and solved it themselves as well, because I don't think it has anything to do with you specifically at this point.

[gorgeouslypink]

i just wanted to bring something to your attention bc you're the only blog that i think people acc trust

i think u know @trynafindbarbiee

sorry if this doesn't link but she blocked me so lol

basically she used to be a good void blogger but you can go look at her page yourself and now it's all just an ad for some random Instagram manifesting coaching account that she claims isn't hers (apparently it's someone who helped her manifest before she entered the void state but she never mentioned this before) but for some reason, keeps on advertising for and lowk gaslighting people into joining bc she says stuff like "do you not want your dream life? why don't you just pay already?"

her exact quote: “She’s open for coaching guys What are fucking waiting for? Don't u want your dream life? Are u not tired? Are u not fed up with all this? ARE YOU NOT?”

This is so disgusting to me to gaslight desperate people like this

Also, I was there when she first posted about that account. She said the insta account only charges $11.99 and then she changed it to $23.98.

Also all the success stories seem so fake. I'm not one to doubt success stories but the first few all seem like they're the same Indian girl and then the last 2 sound like random fictional novels. The second to last is a woman who was hospitalized and over 400 people visited her, like even presidents or celebrities don't get that many people and apparently she had money problems but none of the 400 people could give her any money or like the most recent one. the reason i even decided to call her out was because she made up a ridiculous story of a woman who got pregnant because she was taking antidepressants. i am majoring in healthcare and am very passionate abt this topic because some uneducated people believe this "that antidepressants can cancel out birth control" so they use that as a reason to not take them even though this is completely false and there is no evidence of antidepressants cancelling out birth control❗️

i am pretty sure trynafindbarbie is spiritual soya, it doesn't rlly make sense why she would be advertising her like this and ive noticed certain things like them both saying "peoples"but yeah i hope you can atleast just share this with your followers so they don't get scammed

i looked into this and you're absolutely right, it's a bit disappointing and i just get upset when i see people trying to gaslight and scam this community because the majority of this community are just young girls trying to get their dream life. i hope you guys know that you are so powerful and you can get your dream life on your own!

LIVEBLOG: Wakfu Season 4, Episode 1

I'm awful at emotional speeches, but I just wanted to say... I'm very happy that I got to run this blog for such a long time. And I hope that there is still a lot of fun ahead of us. It feels very triumphant, to finally get to season 4 together with you all :)

"Let's kill Tot with Hammers" moment #1: This is an image Bonta of Dofus era, reused in Wakfu Season 4 to save money. Usually, Wakfu era Bonta is not white colored, and it does not have the same architecture that it had in Dofus era.

I do not know why they didn't just reuse images of Bonta from the OVAS, which are accurate to the Wakfu MMO and Wakfu Season 1 vision of Bonta.

"Let's kill Tot with Hammers" moment #2: Once again, this is just reusing the movie assets...

Also, the house has shifted positions. Did Kerubim, Atcham, and Joris move...? (I ask this despite knowing that the answer is "Ankama really dropped the ball with some of the animation and the sheer amount of asset reusage with this season, for some unknowable reason")

I am going to cry, he's so fucking funny... Save me. Shelter me.

This is Clown Olympics. I love you, Atcham and Kerubim. You are so right.

Literally they do not give a fuck. Is he implying Joris should go to the grocery store instead of staring at the evil, ominous eyes in the sky. Is he implying they should all eat dinner first and think about whatever the fuck is happening later.

I will be honest, I'm pretty sure they're like that because if they weren't, Joris would have a stress-induced heart attack. Joris can do all the worrying for the team. They don't need to feed into the worries of the guy who, at 7 years of age, convinced himself that Astrub was about to be overrun by zombies and nearly cried over a bottle-opener because of that.

Kerubim and Atcham really don't give a shit about little Jojo's opinions, huh.

He says something and the response is almost always "I'm not arguing with someone who is 70–90 years younger than me. Whatever u say gorgeous" and then go back to ignoring it. Insane.

[drooling at the thought of whatever Yugo does in the manga starting the Waven era and killing millions of people, which leads to Joris's (as well as Kerubim and Atcham's) military dictatorship in Bonta, and the way it truly underpins the character parallels between Joris and Yugo in a "child hero to antichrist type figure of ruin and death pipeline" way and the way they both demonstrate that road to hell is paved with good intentions] w-whaatever u say gorgeous. 🥴🤤

When I saw this the first time, I audibly groaned, and messaged my friends saying "I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING TRANSLATE THIS FONT AGAIN!! FUCK!!!!!"

...this says "Coqueline"

This is the Lorem Ipsum filler text. No cool easter eggs here.

This moment really touched me when I watched this season. Even with Joris, who is only six centuries old, you can see The Entropy begin to set in. Seeing cities built and rebuilt and destroyed and rebuilt. Seeing thousands of friends die, be born. Lose your entire family to time. And watch it be so eroded away by time that there is basically no proof of those loved ones, and the places you went to together, even existing.

I think it would be beautiful for someone immortal to know that somewhere out there, there's tangible and irrefutable proof of everything they have ever seen and experienced, including every single thing they love that is no more.

Oooor maybe I'm getting Ronik'y into it. I'm insane about immortality.

You get what you FUCKING DESERVE. ✌

Some Stuff I Should Probably Address.

Alright, For most of you lot who knows what fandoms I write for, this shouldn't come off as surprising to you:

But yes, this is about the Demand to Recasting Certain Voice Actors, Natlan's Characters Being Whitewashed, and my personal thoughts about these matters. They will be under the "Keep Reading" cut if you wish.

TL;DR If You Want to Avoid This, But Want Updates About My Blog: I am closing requests for Genshin and HSR for the time being. I will still be open to discuss HSR and Genshin, but not controversy. I'm sorry.

People Waiting For "Barren Lands, Final Wishes" Letters:

They're on their way, I promise! Unfortunately I haven't been able to make time for them as much as I wanted to, but they Will be out soon!

Now back to more Serious Matters.

⌨︎ Warnings: The Follow Will Contain Mentions of Sexual Abuse, Abuse, and Whitewashing. If I Missed a Warning, or Wrote the Wrong Warning, Please Notify Me Immediately!

Alright, first off: The Voice Actors of Sunday and Moze.

I frankly am not the kind of person who indulges in drama, nor do I like reading/watching them in my free time, but it can't be overlooked at this point. Griffin Puatu and Chris Niosi are quite the controversy recently.

For those who don't know, here's a (probably oversimplified—apologies, on that part) basic idea of what's happening:

Chris Niosi has been accused with sexual and emotional abuse by his ex-partners, as well as friends.

Now, the real big problem, however, is that Hoyoverse, the company who owns the HSR character by the name of "Moze" has decided to hire Niosi to become his EN Voice Actor, which is sparking a lot of disapproval, for Hoyoverse is being blamed for not checking his background/history well enough.

(For More Information About Him: Click This For an Article About the Matter.)

Now, I don't have much to say about Griffin Puatu, who is the current EN Voice Actor of Sunday, but judging from screenshots and tumblr posts I have seen by the Reddit post he wrote, many people are not liking him as well because Puatu is standing up for Niosi.

Now, my Personal Thoughts on the matter, and, as much as I hate getting into drama (apologies, these personal thoughts will be a rant):

Just why? I'm unsure who was at TRUE fault of hiring Niosi, and I don't have full context of WHY Puatu is backing up Niosi when people say he hasn't changed, but seriously, why?

As much as I really hate to say this, but honestly, with this amount of controversy around a game people download to have fun and enjoy, all of it is pretty much ruined for me at the moment. I'm fed up with this—Again, I'm not sure whose fault it was, but they seriously need to be CAREFUL.

I also don't believe that Niosi should have gotten the role of Moze (HSR), but at the same time, who the hell decided it was a good idea to get/give him the role? As I live under a rock, I didn't know who Niosi was. At the time of Moze's drip-marketing, I really thought it'd be cool—for the first time in a while, I actually felt excited for a character rather than the plot of a game. After hearing all this, and taking time thinking about it, I really just don't want to touch HSR content anymore at the moment. It's annoying, because HSR has really good content—it has the potential to be great.

I seriously just can't wrap my head around who hired this guy. I'm not going into Puatu specifically because I don't know much about what he wrote, and (again) I don't like getting into drama. My apologies on that part, but honestly? I'm just done.

Alright, Second off: Natlan Characters—Skin.

I'm pretty sure most people are aware of THIS controversy, but to simplify: Natlan Characters are too pale and it's inaccurate.

Geographically, it makes no sense. They're in warmer temperatures, they should be more tanned. On top of that, their skin tone DOES NOT MATCH their cultures, or where they're taken inspiration from. Hoyoverse are being boycotted (from what I heard) for whitewashing and neglecting to represent the people of said-cultures/said-traditions.

My Personal Thoughts?

COME ON, HOYOVERSE. Do better! It was one thing to drop Natlan Teasers about the characters, but seriously? Please, try a little harder! Genshin Impact has GOOD POTENTIAL—EVERYONE SEES THAT! But you can't make them tanned? Why?

This was the first thing that has been bugging me BEFORE the entire Moze EN VA bullcrap. Come on, Hoyoverse, do better. You are losing respect out here. I am so disappointed, and even that is an understatement! You are losing your respect and recognition as a worthy company brand! What is going on in their building???? Hello???

Someone better fix this skin tone problem soon. I am so fed up with this. As much as I love the characters they just drip-marketed, it's also quite unfair: Take Liyue, for example. Their culture and their people are represented accurately, as far as anime can go.

Natlan? Yikes, suddenly they aren't able to create that same amount of accuracy potential. Why though? What's stopping them? Why are they not doing what is ethically right?

Everyone's waiting for a proper answer, myself included.

Alright, With that all being said—the final Part: What's Happening to the Ghost Rebel's Blog?

Well, for starters: I need a break. I am not only disappointed, but mentally drained. I am so done with all of this, and I need an utter breather. I usually go on Tumblr to cool down or read some nice, wholesome writing posts I find on some fandoms I like. Now, however, I am in dire need of staying away from Tumblr.

I'll be on a little bit of hiatus from writing so much—but not for now, as I currently have an event going on.

However: I am no longer taking any HSR and/or Genshin requests until these issues are either resolved or fixed. That is my stance, and I hope you can respect it.

Yes, this will mean my blog will decrease in activity. However, I am still open to Genshin/HSR discussions—so long as they are not about drama/controversy. I think I'm drained from all of this.

To everyone who read to the very end of this post: Thank you for reading to the end, and I apologize if you were also trying to avoid witnessing these kinds of controversies. However, some things can't be overlooked.

Hope y'all are doing safe/good. Have a good day/night.

Ayo so what's going on

Hey so. No doubt you've noticed I am Not Really Doing Shit here anymore.

And. There's a lot of reasons for that.

Gonna put the bulk of it under the readmore, but I highly recommend you look it over, if you ever enjoyed the AU to any capacity.

The one I've talked to you guys about a loooot is that my disabilities (chronic fatigue+migraines) flared up pretty hard in the later half of the summer last year, and have been in constant flux following, only just recently having stabilized a little to the point I can be somewhat regularly productive.

But they're still disabilities, and they could pop back up at any point.

Another reason is simply that my focus has drifted elsewhere. I have ADHD, and experience fixations a lot, and while Cult of the Lamb was one of my longer ones, it's definitely started to wane (There's a mix of reasons why it is, but none I can really articulate without sounding like I'm blaming others, which I don't want to do)

So my mind has been drifting back to a more neutral state, letting myself enjoy other things without the constant feeling of "I should be writing the AU. I should be drawing the AU. I should be updating the AU."

And when in this neutral state, I've been letting my interests drift carefully back to my Original ideas and projects. As in. Stories and characters I made up with my own brain, separate of fandom.

Because while I love fandom, fandom can't exactly pay the bills unless your fork over your soul to it, and I don't really want to do that.

So I've been finally returning to my original story and large headworld, Court of Fools.

I want to make a game for it, I want to make things for the larger lore and worldbuilding, I want to share it with people. But I can't do that if I'm focusing on fandom work to the extent I did with the AU.

Would I like to have the AU in a sort of finished state where people aren't left with a billion questions? Well, sure. But it would be a lot of work still. There's still a LOT of story beats and details in my brain, but I just never got a good chance to get them out, and now the prime opportunity has passed.

I wouldn't say that means I'd leave this blog a wasteland, perhaps I'll come back with doodles and stuff now and then, but. I guess, basically, the AU likely isn't going to be touched in any large capacity for a while? Maybe if I can organize some sort of schedule, I could find a way to dripfeed more stuff back here, so I wouldn't say it's 100%, totally, for-sure, absolutely dead. It's just... Not my creative priority.

I would hope that through the AU, I have made you interested in my art and storytelling as a whole, because if you did enjoy those aspects, separate of the fact that it was a fandom work, then I would highly recommend you stick with me and see my work on Court of Fools and its larger world--It's my passion project, so I'll be giving it my absolute best all the way through, too.

Things have been silent on it for a while, primarily because of my fixation on Cult of the Lamb, so I'm really gearing up to get back to it.

My first plan is to make a smaller game, or games, set in the same world--something to get back into Ren'Py properly, practice implementing certain gameplay elements I want to have, and so on. I'll be sure to make a proper announcement on the relevant spaces when I do get into that more formally. Catch me on bluesky!

In the meantime, if you'd still like to be in my general sphere and see me create, I do still do adopts and stuff over on my ko-fi. For as little as $1 a month, you can see my concepts, preclaim adopts, and get monthly doodles, so please consider checking it out--I'm, currently trying to meet a goal for survivability, as my disabilities really destroyed my ability to do things the past few months.

Sooo, yeah. I think that's the bulk of what I wanted to say? In summary:

AU is going Super Dormant and you likely won't hear from me here without long stretches in between

I'm working on more original stories and projects, hopefully a game

You can find and support me on ko-fi, which will really help mitigate stress from not being able to do much last year

Really sorry if this disappoints or surprises you, though I'm fairly sure a lot of you saw this coming. So. Here's just a formal confirmation or whatever, I guess.

I'll catch you later!

This is probably a weird question but do you have any advice on spotting those scams where someone asks you if your commissions are open

I remember you posting about someone who asks if you can draw their kids pet or something (I can’t remember very well)

Are there any others you know of?

I'll be honest, I've rarely gotten potential scams that weren't PAINSTAKINGLY obvious, but my biggest red flags for the one that I had posted about were:

-They were a blank blog that wasn't even following me. Why would you commission an artist you're not even following, yanno? If you get a commission request from someone, do just a little basic check such as check out their account. If it's a blank account, an account that's not following you, or an account that has shady shit on it, then that needs to be your first sign that something is off.

-They sent me the exact same message they sent a friend of mine. It helps to be involved with other artists and the art community. You'll catch things like this easier. What they sent me was basically word-for-word to what they sent a friend of mine, and she wasn't even offering open commissions, just HTTYD head shot commissions. Commissioners aren't sending artists copy-paste messages. So if you see other artists saying something about a scam with those types of messages, watch for that.

-The type of commission didn't align with my usual subject. I am a fanart artist with some original work speckled in. I don't draw IRL stuff unless it's for IRL people simple because that's just not what comes my way. I draw HTTYD as my main with some other fandoms so my usual commissions are OCs. In fact, every commission is someone's OC, not someone's pet. So although there's nothing against someone wanting a commission of a subject you don't main in, it is weird to go and commission a fan-artist "your son's pet" (and weirder that it has to be specified as "their son's pet" as well.

-The BIGGEST one, they refused to go to my Commission Carrd link. I have a commission section on my Carrd that I expect people to go to, read up on, and fill out a form. I do this because I need people to known and understand how I work, what I do and don't do, and so I can guarantee that people are reading and accepting my terms. I don't want to do business with someone who can't be bothered to read my terms. When I offered my Carrd for them to read my rules, they flat out said "No. Just post your prices here." That reply alone made me tell them "professionally" to fuck off, I'm not interested then.

A super easy way to protect yourself from scams is to really make sure your bases are covered in your TOS and make sure that you're sending proper invoices with those terms and conditions and have all of the information set so people are less likely to scam you.

Most scams you're going to see are going to be pretty obvious, so follow your gut instinct. If something seems "off" or "uncomfy" about a client, politely decline the commission and move on.

The more "complicated" your hiring process is for a commission, the easier it is to spot a scammer in the process because most are not going to go through all of that. People who are actually interested in commissioning you are going to take time to read your rules, terms, prices, ect. If they don't have the time to bother with your commission information, then they aren't someone you're going to want to work with regardless if they're a scammer or not. I'm sure that there are a lot of other ways other artists' can provide, but these are just my basic takes on it~!

scouring your blog for more characterisation on lando/oscar dynamic.... the not correcting mispronunciations blew my mind wide open. do you have any other wise takes

hello anon :3 pretty sure i've mentioned all of this in some capacity b4 and much has been covered in depth by greater scholars than myself but here are some 814 charactization quirks i'm fond of ↓

oscar resignedly accepting his own attraction to lando but choosing not to act on it because well..... it is what it is. in his mind being 4 tenths off his teammate is a more immediately pressing matter than lando fake moaning from an icebath 2 feet away [clenched fists]

lando subtly looking out for oscar, especially march-may of last year because he distinctly remembers his own rookie season (see: the "it's a lot, isn't it" exchange in the melbourne unboxed, giving oscar endless opportunities to redeem himself in challenges etc). i think part of it was him not knowing how much of oscar's quietness was a factor of the explosive feeder series to f1 jump and how much is his actual personality but wanting him to feel comfortable either way. also just lando being endlessly curious about this guy who is just a guy... because oscar is lowkey a lot funnier (to lando) than the general public's flat/boring diagnosis gives him credit for

a sort of blase level of comfort and wordless communication (see: virgin radio with zak brown) and also in general communicating via just. noises (the yes/no challenge is an esp egregious example of this like why are u bleating at each other. nvm) to borrow an oscar term here: they're low-frequency! bc while lando has a tendency to match the energy of whoever he's with (vs oscar who's pretty much always the same lol) imo at their core 814 are both different flavours of introverts so when they're together it's just kinda. chill

oscar being deeply tolerant of all of lando's idiosyncrasies and even assimilating to his rhythm... eating the same pre-race meal as lando/changing his answer's to match lando's in the who's most likely to vid/listening to lando's music through their shared wall/"are you ready oscar piastri" "i'm ready lando norris"... insanity

a measurable give and take because as indulgent as oscar can be he will rib lando and give him if not a hard time certainly A Time. basically oscar having a spine... but also bending to lando's whims... it's a fine balance

rating each other as drivers...... sure oscar is a well-socialized young man who can (occasionally) pretend net competence has a lot of moving parts and lando genuinely likes a lot of people he doesn't rate (real) but when it boils down to it the fact that they both think v highly of the others' skill as drivers (oscar constantly calling lando one of the quickest guys on the grid, lando saying his recent run of form is in part due to oscar being good enough in his own right to push him, "i mean, he already is") adds a whole new layer of intrigue. bc even when they get along there's that undercurrent of caution/what's he gonna do next/etc and who kneowsss how this aspect of their relationahip is going to evolve over the next three (3!!!) years together as teammates but i for one can't wait to watch :')

they barely (if ever) touch. compelling 2 Me

BEWARE OF "body mod advices" - they can be dangerous and LETHAL.

(this post was about a deactivated blog but extends to any possible future blog like it)

edit3 since he deactivated: Red told me in the DMs that he WILL be more careful about all this risk stuff, I believe he is going to do better. Im sure he's a good person and he also was extremely civil in the DMs. Since he's not here to defend himself anymore I'll gladly take his side and say that despite this mess, all Red wanted to do was indeed reduce harm and potentially save lives. Good luck on all your endeavors, Red, I wish you a beautiful and successful career and that you have a great positive impact in the atypical dysphoria community, both on and offline. I don't know how my post truly impacted you, I'm so sorry if you're feeling bad. You acted the best way you possibly could.

Second, if Red comes back, DO NOT HARASS HIM, let him be himself and don't let his past hold them down.

Third, all my points still stand for their deactivated blog and any potential body mod tips blogs in the future. Please everyone, take care, stay safe.

Past edit: DONT HARASS any possible blogs like hers, just REPORT and spread awareness, (also don't make the same mistakes as me: TALK TO THEM FIRST)

Past edit: minors please interact with this post, forget my bio for this one

Past edit: editing editing the post since I talked to Red and he isn't bait. I definitely should have talked to them in DMs first. I sincerely apologize. So sorry Red! To those reading, don't make the same mistake as me, ok? Always talk to people privately first, I genuinely fucked up bad. This mistake of assuming others intentions, can traumatize them. If I were in Red's shoes I'd be traumatized. So yeah, I fucked up bad.

Their intentions are genuine but my point still stands that its extremely dangerous and can't qualify as harm-reduction / end edit note

alright, I'm not transid/radqueer but you guys need to REPORT AND WARN OTHERS of these accounts as soon as they appear. Do not entertain them, no matter how desperate you are to transition. You can become a victim of dangerous charlatanism.

LONG POST AHEAD, VERY IMPORTANT NEVERTHELESS

Archive to what i'm about to post

Red claimed to be "a non-professional surgeon, planning on getting better with practice." Bad move!

Red has told me he's pursuing a medical degree and won't actually do non-qualified surgery.

.

Red: "The blog is centered around an idea of "extreme" body mods that I would like to explore further, [...] things like breaking and re-mending bones, creating new joints, replacing skin, etc."

My point: the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and your blog was unsafe.

.

To any possible counterarguments: "But they (people following/asking advice) know the risks!" That's victim-blaming. Red gave himself the responsibility to give harm-reducing advice, but he didn't do a good job.

"But I know the risks!" You can't possibly know the risks because Red doesn't know either or "kinda knows" but has not properly informed his audience, it didnt give sources, oversimplified their advice and failed to provide accurate information about risk. Or gave plain misinformation.

Again I'm not transid, I can't possibly imagine what you're going through in order to try anything at all to feel better, including trying experimental surgery not legally available or not researched at all. However, please please please do not become a victim of medical deceit or whatever tf it's called. Even if the blog owner tries their best to be reliable.

They might sound confident, but they do not know what they are saying, what they're telling others to do.

.

Ask: "How would I make my skin gray without tattoos?" (DO NOT SHAME THIS USER BTW)

Red: "[...] I assume you want permanent grey. To do this, it's pretty simple, although it'll take a lot of time. Basically, what you want to do is to constantly be exposed to lots of silver. Any product with silver in it like specific lotions and skin creams. also fish, milk, mushrooms, and whole grains tend to have silver in them! So tldr, consume lots of silver!"

STOP!!! DONT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!! DONT OVER-EXPOSE YOURSELF TO SILVER!!! "Silver toxicity causes argyria. Silver toxicity occurs when too much silver is in your body." <- from a simple research on "too much silver in blood"

THE RESULT WILL BE ARGYRIA. EVEN IF YOU DO IT SLOWLY, YOU ARE BUILDING UP A HEAVY METAL IN YOUR BODY. THE GREY SKIN IS NOT PRETTY NOR WITHOUT GRUESOME SIDE SYMPTOMS.

Yall. Anything in excess will fuck up your body, including iron, vitamins, and silver.

To whoever asked Red, I don't know your mind, but I'm sure you'd love to live a happy life with grey skin! You'd love to have a body you're comfortable with and looks rad as hell! But you wouldn't be able to enjoy it if you're deeply sick with ARGYRIA, WHICH IS WHAT RED'S ADVICE WILL GIVE YOU!

.

Ask: "How do I get darker skin without going too dark? I’m pale and burn easily, I just want a color similar to Lin Manuel Miranda" (AGAIN DONT HARASS THIS USER)

Red: [...] "expose yourself to the sun more! As you do this, you'll get tan which will protect you from future burns and make your skin slightly darker, do this enough and you can engineer your skin to be as dark as you want!"

THATS MISINFORMATION! Yes you may tan to get darker (Lin's tone may or may not be achievable to you) but one: it's not permanent unless you're constantly going out; two: SKIN CANCER!!!! DONT OVER-EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE SUN!!!! USE SUNSCREEN!!

TO ANYONE SEEKING A MUCH DARKER TONE: YOU CAN'T "GO AS DARK AS YOU WANT TO" BY TANNING. Just look at people who have lived their whole lives outdoors like farmers! White people can't tan to black! There's a limit to how tan you may get! Are you seriously gonna risk skin cancer for an impossible thing???

.

Red: "Self amputation is really dangerous! You should learn how to use a tourniquet, that way, you can stop the bleeding! [...]" WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR SOURCES, RED?

If anyone reading this is seriously thinking of amputating themselves, and will not change their minds no matter what, please just have someone immediately drive you to the hospital. I do not support such operation and you can still die or get horribly sick even with your best precautions, but you better receive actual medical attention and stay alive rather than trying to heal it yourself. Because what you'll most likely get from following Red's advice is DEATH FROM BLOOD LOSS. Again, if you absolutely cannot get rid of this dysphoria with therapy, or manage it at least, or have a doctor do it for you, I still would NEVER suggest you do it yourself, but IF you end up doing that then at least please go straight to the hospital instead of trying to heal it yourself.

.

Red: "do not try and break your own bones to make modifications! [...] Get another person (Like myself) to help you with the bone breakage instead."

NO ONE KNOWS WTF THEY'RE DOING. YOUR FRIEND DOESN'T. RED DOESN'T (as they advertised in the post). NO ONE IS GOING TO GET MODIFICATIONS LIKE THIS. NO ONE IS GOING TO BE HAPPY. EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE EITHER IN PAIN, RISK OF HORRIBLE INJURIES OR TROUBLE WITH THE LAW. FUCKING AROUND = GUARANTEED BOTCHED OPERATION.

Also, now that Red has clarified she won't perform surgery until having an actual degree, you can't really go to her XD

.

Red: "Some advice for surgery [...] This one's important, make sure your patient is strapped down and properly sedated, if they move, even slightly, you risk hitting a vital artery or organ, if you do hit an artery, don't panic, this is why you learned how to use a tourniquet! if you hit a vital organ though, odds are you won't know how to fix that, so be extra careful with abdomen and face surgery!"

Thats still promoting medical malpractice, mutilating and potentially killing friends, dangerously downplaying surgery so much, this is not harm-reduction

.

Ask: "I want to be blind in one eye, but more-so in the sense of extreme but not total vision loss. I want to do something permanent in the future!" (AGAIN DONT HARASS THIS USER)

Red: Well, a simple fix to your problem is just get some calcium hydroxide in your eye and wash it out a few minutes later, this should lead to permanent, extreme (but not total) vision loss in that eye. Keep it in too long and it can cause total vision loss so be careful!

Ok so, it's great that you're trying to come up with alternative ways for users not to kill themselves by gouging their eyes out, but you've still failed to give them the full picture

From a quick search "calcium hydroxide in the eyes": Exposure to the skin can produce burns, painful irritation and necrosis, and exposure to the eyes may cause severe pain and vision loss that can be temporary or permanent. If calcium hydroxide is exposed to the skin, contaminated clothing should be removed, excess amounts of the chemical should be wiped off and the affected skin should be flushed repeatedly with water. Victims of calcium hydroxide exposure to the eyes should flush their eyes with water continuously for the first 15 minutes, but all cases of external exposure should receive immediate medical care. Inhaling calcium hydroxide through the nose or mouth can also cause immediate, painful and potentially life-threatening complications. Throat and nasal passages may become painful and swollen, and the swelling may restrict airways, making breathing difficult or impossible. If the calcium hydroxide particles are carried all the way to the lungs, this may further complicate breathing. Victims of this type of exposure should be taken immediately to a fresh air environment, and emergency services should be contacted right away. Administration of oxygen and emergency respiratory assistance may be required.

.

Red (answering an ask): "the question shouldn't be what DO people replace their skin with, it should be what CAN they, after all, just because it's never been practiced or very rarely practiced doesn't mean it's bad or impossible! Of course, my personal favorite skin substitutes are rubber and red velvet, I am also a big fan of stainless steel."

(Don't promote such an operation). THIS OPERATION IS BAD AND IMPOSSIBLE TO SUCCEED. SKIN CAN ONLY BE REPLACED WITH SKIN. SKIN IS A LIVING ORGAN. ANY OTHER SUBSTITUTE WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE BODY PARTS OR DIE.

YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE WITH TRANSPLANTS NEED LIFE-LONG MEDICAL ATTENTION SO THEIR BODY DOESN'T REJECT IT? HOW TF WILL YOU DO THIS WITH FUCKING RED VELVET?

YOU WILL FUCK UP YOUR BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS.

ANYWAYS. CROSSTAGGING FOR REACH. PLEASE EVERYONE REBLOG. THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT.

[oiblackestsheep]

what, in your opinion, are an intp’s needs in a relationship? (coming from an infj.) love your blog, you’ve got some amazing insights 🫶

Aww, thanks INFJ anon. 🫶 I try my best to have interesting insights that bring something fresh to the table!

INTP's Needs in a Relationship

I've been in the same relationship for 8.5 years (and we actually MET ON TUMBLR BECAUSE OF THIS BLOG WHICH IS SO FUNNY AND NERDY), all of this to say, I've had a lot of time to think about my relationship needs even from the MBTI perspective as an INTP, because that was how my ENFJ and I kinda started out getting to know, like, what we each needed from each other, so, here we go!

Disclaimer: This is assuming that the INTP is already getting everything that everyone needs in a basic healthy relationship like, you know, feeling emotionally safe and being treated with respect, etc..

Intellectual stimulation: INTPs generally love understanding new things and how they work, so ideally their partner can share that interest with them in some way! They can be pretty curious people, so joining them in their quest for uncovering the "how" and "why" of everything will make them feel understood, themselves, and closer to you in the process!

Clear explanations of your feelings: Because INTPs have inferior Fe, they tend to have a habit of intellectualizing their own emotions when they talk about them, which can cause complications with understanding other people's emotions, too. Finding a way to be patient and know that even healthy INTPs might still struggle with connecting with other people's emotions (especially at first in a relationship) isn't necessarily because they don't want to, but more that it doesn't always come naturally, so they don't always know how to. If they're a healthy person, they will want to understand, just try not to take it personally while they are practicing/learning!

Alone time: This one should be pretty straight-forward lmao. They're introverted, so they like to recharge doing solo-activities, and they're intuitives, so they have their own little theoretical world full of bizarre ideas to entertain themselves with that might not always be easy to follow at first. I find that introverts in general (maybe the INxx types even moreso) like to engage in parallel play where their partner also does something quietly nearby, but still a separate activity. As an INFJ, yourself, I'm sure you can relate in your own way, so it's likely easy to give them what they need!

Humor them/hear them out: This might sound a little vague, and I guess in some ways it is, but this is mostly about their auxiliary Ne. ENTPs and ENFPs get most of the attention when it comes to high Ne, but INTPs (and INFPs, too!) place a lot of importance on it, too, which can often manifest itself in conversations like "what if __", "imagine if __", etc.. To put it bluntly, it might seem a bit... directionless, and that's because sometimes it kind of is! It's just about thinking of random possibilities that are non-serious and funny in the moment, and don't really go anywhere else outside of the current discussion or hold any larger, overarching significance. Sometimes it's less about the actual topic itself, and more about having some random fun and "playing along" that makes a world of a difference to a playful INTP (or high Ne user in general). This point got away from me a little bit which I think, in a way, is the perfect exemplification of what I was trying to say in the first place, lmao. Hope that makes sense! If your INTP ever sounds like whatever the hell I just said, just try not to disengage right away, because they probably have a point that they are struggling to reach. Put that dom Ni to work and summarize it for them, I know you can do it from experience with my own ENFJ lmao.

Anyway, uhhhhh: Every single point on this list has gotten progressively longer because my Ne loves extrapolating (and I love Ne, but sometimes its gotta CHILL you know?), so I'm gonna end it here before it gets WILDLY OUT OF CONTROL.

This was a fun question, anon!: Thanks again for reaching out, and basically giving me full range to just write multiple paragraphs about myself and my relationship!

[liquidorcard]

Hey fam we're gunna inact in some sinful behavior again and get real for a sec here on the shitposting blog so TW: Discussion of substance abuse, mental health issues, SA, etc.

You may have noticed I took a bit of a break from posting for a bit. It wasn't entirely due to Lily's "junkie" rant here, but it was partially responsible.

A lot about Lily high key cheeses my biscuits, I've made that pretty clear. Lily and I have a . . . Strange amount in common in some regards. I'm a trans person myself, I come from a similar, shall we say, "dysfunctional home environment" Lily does. We're even both Canadian, close enough in age I grew up with a lot of the exact same regional-specific media she did. We've had some other life experiences in common.

With that said, Lily's almost like the evil funhouse mirror version of my life. I was sexually assaulted for the first time at basically the exact same age Courtney was. Lily reminds me very much of my first partner, who physically, emotionally and sexually abused me. Unlike Lily, I am from an actual multi-racial family and have had the somewhat unique experiences and gotten the somewhat unique perspective of being a white person partially influenced and organically adopted into more predominantly POC culture. I've had to come to terms with my own white privilege and the ways Western colonialism has influenced me on a level far more personal than it would be for someone from a more monoracial and monocultural family than mine. While also coming to terms with and accepting the ways my family has been judged and discriminated against for being so blended.

There's also just the fact that Lily seems to (I wonder if, on some level, intentionally) act like the alt-right caricature of a progressive leftist in the most performative way imaginable, while also clearly not actually being left-wing at all. My pet theory is that the only thing stopping Lily from going full Blaire White MAGA butt monkey is that her pride can't take it. Being treated like a useful idiot for the right to "prove" they're not bigots while treating her with open hostility in every other regard. So she's as "leftist" as she needs to be to get the 12 year olds she's trying to court on her side because they don't know any better. While being profoundly anti-labor, pro-capitalist. Even though the only reason why the alt-right hyper focus on identity politic bullshit like that is becayse it's a wedge issue that allows them to skirt around talking about actual policy.

There's also just the fact that someone can be so, confidently, shit-eating levels of wrong and stupid about the most asinine things. I actually work professionally in the fields Lily has decided her opinions are worth vomiting out into the ether. Fields people in general are way too comfortable speaking with authority on shit they know absolutely nothing about-- but Lily is for sure a special case.

Point is: I'm very used to Lily making me go into turbo big upsetti spaghetti mode. I've been aware of her for YEARS. I'm over it . . . Until I'm not.

I've alluded to it a few times already: I'm a recovered drug user, though I've struggled with general substance abuse and impulse control issues for longer. Particularly because of untreated mental health issues like C-PTSD, a dissociative disorder, gender dysphoria and ADHD. Particularly because of untreated physical health issues that just a few years ago almost killed me. Issues that caused me significant pain, mental distress, and slowly worsening disability since I was 11 years old. Went totally untreated until they came close to taking my life. It's no coincidence that I started stealing my parent's booze when I was around 12 or 13 years old.

The worst, ugliest, most humiliating aspects of yourself? Addiction will put them front and center. It will cause you to do things, act in ways, find out things about yourself you're never going to be able to unknow. You have to live with for the rest of your life.

You're aware of it-- the whole time. What a fucking creature you've become. How you are hurting the people closest to you. It's not fun. The whole time, you want to stop. But you can't. You don't know why you just can't control yourself, what you're supposed to do. You're afraid of asking for help out of fear of judgement or punishment. Drugs are mostly decriminalized in Canada and still, if someone just took access away from my poison of choice and sent me on my way with no further help--- I would have just walked into traffic.

The worst of my issues happened due to some absolutely insane levels of medical irresponsibility that I won't fully get into because they're too long to explain. But I will tell you that, already aware I had substance abuse issues, I *explicitly warned* the doctor who prescribed me the medication that I didn't feel I could be responsible to be put on anything addictive. She assured me it was not. Spoiler altert: it was addictive. A lot of addicts descent into rock bottom beginning with something they were prescribed.

Drug companies will put in these "anti-abuse" measures into otherwise addictive substances that it takes half a brain cell to circumvent. Just take my word for it.

I overdosed at least once, maybe twice on the drug I was originally prescribed. Alone. By some insane luck I survived both times without getting further medical treatment. But as I built up a tolerance what I was originally prescribed wasn't the *only thing* I ended up abusing in that period of my life. I was going to die if I didn't do something soon, and I knew it.

I was lucky. My sister drove two cities over after a night shift to my rescue and quite literally set me on the road to saving my life. My doctor was compassionate enough to allow me to get off of what I was originally addicted to at my own pace, and correctly identified I needed a medication overhaul to do so. My older brother made sure I wasn't dying of dehydration or starvation during my detox period and made sure to do the daily tasks I didn't have the mental capacity to do at that time aswell. Without them I wouldn't be here today.

NOT EVERY DRUG USER IS AS FORTUNATE AS ME, HOWEVER. And even then, recovery is not a straight line, or as simple as having certain substances kept away. It's a demon you'll be fighting the rest of your life, in many instances. Mine included. Part of getting off the harmful substances I was was getting a prescription to Adderall, as I was partially self-medicating for. Something my doctor still monitors me with to ensure I'm not falling back into bad habits with. Something Lily is CURRENTLY bitching about not being able to get a prescription for-- I wonder why, Lily.

I have now gone through THREE surgeries without painkillers. And in one particularly awful incident, was treated rather cruelly by the medical staff over refusing to take them. To quote, of all things, fucking Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo, "if you live with pain long enough, you learn to enjoy the taste." But nothing is like the nightmare of chemical dependence. Pain is immaterial to that kind of hell.

I know Lily is saying this bullshit just to vaguepost about Courtney, but I don't care. Fuck her. Fuck her for daring to judge me, and those like me. That she was that comfortable being this vile about the matter publically should give you a good indication as to how comfortable even other people are to talking down to addicts.

She wouldn't have survived the shit I went through. I dare her to try. She's way too much of a little piss baby to crawl her way out of that kind of suffering.

I know this is a meme page, but I refuse to be ashamed of talking about it. If anyone would like some more information about my experience or has questions as to why Lily's opinion on the matter is dogshit and vile, feel free to dm me or send me an ask. I'll make it clear why Lily is fucking scum for having the balls to say this publically. I'll make her regret it.
