#It's.... staring at you

[azuresins]

You got this ask fair while back... someone seemed interested in your Irish connections and theories, but also seemed uncertain that Irish violations and their plight, would be showcased as a centrepiece when so much of Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji has paranormal fixations. I found that very odd? When so much of Indian, German, and to an extent Japanese and Anglo folklore / spirituality is also showcased in Kuroshitsuji...so I suppose my question is. When do you think we'll see it (if we see it) and what paranormal aspects pertaining to Irish Mythology do you think would fit into the story if you had to guess?

I don't think it's a matter of how Yana will weave/reference (more) Irish history and (more) Irish/Celtic Mythology into the story, or even how she's going to weave more of it, going forward. @apocalypticromantic666 , @seekers-who-are-lovers , @noirserviteur Have all found many general Celtic/Scottish/Irish connections and references in Kuro, I'm not the only person who has seen it. I'm particularly fond of this post (though the user deactivated) pointing out that the Phantomhive Graveyard has both protestant crosses (Church of England) and Celtic crosses (most likely Irish catholic) for gravestones. (here) It's not as necessary to me how much is included so long as more is included and considering the recent chapters I have no reason to think there wont be? Most of all, I wanted to point out, what already HAS been woven into it, and thematically that it makes logical sense, being the time period, and location and the repeated theme surrounding Indentured Servitude. In addition... I also believe some of the "paranormal" and "supernatural" elements connected to Irish mythology could already very much be there, even if it is/they are only referenced in name... 'hiding' in plain sight. The "Phantomhives" deal with England's "Underworld" do they not?

Do you know about the "Tuath Dé" or the "aes sídhe"...? If you don't, I highly recommend looking into the other "cycles"... starting with the Mythological Cycle.

(Source) It's widely believed and accepted... they are a part of a mythical race, that depending on the legend and translation, live in the Underworld and pass into it through burial grounds.

Almost like, a nest of ghosts, if you will... hmm. Or perhaps like... a hive full of phantoms... 🤔🤔🤔

being a student during peak pandemic was so fucking surreal like. "it's not an excuse to fall behind" I cannot stress enough to you how much A Worldwide Plague Upending Life As We Know It is literally one of The Top Three Reasons to fall behind

Another reason why I’m a firm believer in letting Bruce get old is because the idea of him looking and his dark haired children without his glasses on and genuinely not being able to tell them apart is unparalleled

So this is why people think Duke is the best behaved one.

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

'cause when i see me through your eyes

i love me, so don't leave my side

Saw a post about helping people that used the analogy of "if you see someone fall off a cruiseship and theres a life preserver ring on the wall next to you do you walk away or do you throw them the life preserver? Of course you throw them the life preserver." And i dont want to add to or tag the post with any sort of correction because its literally not the point at all but i am desperate to say that the first thing they teach you when you work on a cruise ship is that if someone falls overboard you Do Not Look Away

If theres a life preserver nearby but you have to turn your back to get it, tough luck. If theres someone nearby who can't hear you but you could run and get them, absolutely not. You see someone go overboard you point at them and never ever let them out of your sight because looking away even once could mean losing them forever, so you just have to trust that someone will hear you scream for help but you cant for any reason look away

And maybe that adds to the life preserver metaphor somehow but mostly i just need you to know if you spot someone in the water you point at them and you watch them close and you scream for help

We've been working with toddler on using his words instead of screaming when something happens that he doesn't like

Which has lead to:

Toddler, upon accidentally dropping a toy: ANGER ANGER ANGER!

Thinking about the meaning behind Curly ignoring the dead pixel Anya points out to him while Swansea shatters the whole screen with an axe after finding out what happened to Anya oooooooh I love this game so much
