But just saying

Gay disaster Salim that never gave it any thought bc he HAD to marry a woman

Small town bisexual Jason that has had to defend himself every minute of his LIFE since he came out

Juuuuust saying

[teecupangel]

Hi teecup, I hope ur having a great day/noon/night!

Forgive me if the things i'm about to say don't make much sense. It's been a vey, very, very, difficult time for me and my countrymen here, and my ability to make coherent sentences have declined drastically. So, yeah... BUT! That doesn't matter haha.

Anyways, I had a thought. And i'm not even sure how or why i got it but.... hear me out now...

Our boy, Desmond, gets thrown back in time as usual, same old same old, right? Exept, this time he doesn't end up in the Big Three™'s time-line. He ends up in Al-Mualim's time. *insert mind-blown emoji here cuz i can't find it rn*

And ik that i'm not a certified AC Expert like u and many others, and i haven't really finished any of the AC games yet (i've only seen bits of AC III and have only started AC 2, I also haven't finished AC 1)

But I do know that he wasn't really that creepy and evil in his youth/ b4 he became The Old Man of the Moutain, so i was thinking maybe Desmond ends up in that era of Al Mualim or is it Rashid al-Din Sinan? I know that he's based on a real historical figure but i'm not so sure if he's called that in-game?

And knowing Desmond, he'd probably get the urge to kill Rashid (i hope i'm using the name correctly) the time he figures shit out and connect that dots. But he would end up not doing that, cuz u know, it might fuck up the time-line and Altaïr might end up not being born, creating a domino-effect.

I want Desmond to meet Rashid before he starts to becom the Al Mualim we know today, so that Desmond can see how he was b4 the evants of AC 1.

Maybe Rashid's an arrogant ass, or a nerdy loser, or a popular assassin- who knows! The possibilites are endless!! (or maybe he's an obsessive bastard who gets obsessed with Desmond cuz he's just full of mysteries and wonders :Dc )

And blah blah blah, plot here, plot there, Isu-bullshit this, time shenanigans that, and BOOM they meet.

And romance ensues? :3 (romace wil absolutely ensue :}}} )

NOW, BEFORE- BEFORE YOU TIE ME TO A STAKE AND BURN ME ALIVE FOR THIS- i think it'd be a cute idea, and who knows? maybe Rashid was hot in his prime *insert lenny face cuz even after all these years i still don't know how to type it and is too lazy to cop paste it* and maybe he liked to solve mysteries and had a thing for the unexplainable. And Desmond is the most unexplainable, most bizarre thing to have graced the earth :33333.

Now that i've got this idea out of my system i'm gonna go pray for the down fall of my coutry's shit for brain, good for nothing military government/hj.

bye! *evaporates*

I hope you’re doing alright and I’m sorry that it took two months before I could answer your ask TTATT

As far as I know, he was only called Al Mualim because of legal reasons but Rashid ad-Din Sinan was the leader of the Assassins in Masyaf during 1191 so it’s safe to assume Al Mualim is AC’s version of Rashid (historically he died in 1193, not 1191.

.

Okay. We can make this work.

We put Desmond at around the same time he’s the recruit and we make it hard for him to realize he’s Al Mualim until it’s too late by doing one simple thing:

Desmond doesn’t know Al Mualim’s real name.

He always knew it as Al Mualim. As far as he knew, Al Mualim was his actual name.

Then he remembered that Al Mualim can mean mentor and bangs his head on the nearest flat surface.

His mission has been clear from the start.

Become an Assassin, take out Al Mualim before he does shit, find Umar and adopt him then play matchmaker so Altaïr would be born.

And no.

Desmond wasn’t going to think about the whole “can you truly be sure that the person who will be born will be Altaïr if you change the circumstances of his conception?”

Yeah.

His head hurts just thinking about it so he won’t.

For now, he’ll focus on his training while keeping a look out for anyone who gives of Al Mualim vibes.

What’s the Al Mualim vibes?

Manipulative old man vibes.

The problem is…

Rashid is one of the recruits in the same batch as Desmond and he becomes Desmond’s closest friend.

And there was no way Desmond would ever be friends with a future power hungry asshole like Al Mualim.

No way.

.

The way their relationship becomes romantic really depends on the kind of personality young Rashid would have.

A nerdy loser who starts making a name for himself because of his intelligence and tactical mind would start off as the kid Desmond sorta looks after. When he starts to show that his strength lies in making plans and quick judgments, he becomes the man whispering on Desmond’s ear. Providing plans and suggestions while giving Desmond a heads up on the less savory words people say about him. Desmond would never think this Rashid is Al Mualim because he’s nice and truly do want to help Desmond. This is also how Rashid would show his love for Desmond and, really, Desmond would think they’re bros and when he realizes that Rashid actually loves him, he’d think “oh, I am Ezio’s descendant”

An arrogant ass Rashid would butt heads with Desmond but Desmond would find himself fond of the man because he reminds him of AC1 Altaïr. This is the Rashid who would definitely be counted as a tsundere and their relationship would start when Rashid just flatout tells Desmond that he wants to do unspeakable things to him while they’re arguing. Desmond is offended because “tugging on my pigtails doesn’t work in real life, dumbass!” and Rashid is just “???” because what the fuck are pigtails??? Lots of awkwardness until Desmond realize that butting heads with Rashid is really how they flirt.

Now. Popular Assassin Rashid is more on the side of polite but is absolutely Desmond’s rival. Whatever it is, the two of them are always competing. Unlike the arrogant ass version, this Rashid is always nice to Desmond. The whole “no hard feelings” and pure competitiveness are what drives their relationship. This is the one where the two of them spar privately one time and things happen. They would try to distant themselves from one another for a bit until they finally talk it out. Rashid honestly didn’t think he loved Desmond until the whole ‘after-sparring’ thing.

Whichever you pick as Rashid’s background, he will become obsessed with Desmond but it’s more on the side of “I will do everything to make Desmond happy” which is good for Desmond but not really good for anyone against him.

.

Desmond is the one who adopts Umar in this one and Umar imprints on him like a baby duckling to a mama duckling. Everyone actually assumed Umar is his bastard son. Desmond ignores it even though he’s only like… a decade and a half older than Umar.

Rashid definitely treats him like Desmond’s son. He’s Umar’s favorite of all of Desmond’s friends.

And really, Desmond should have seen that as a hint of Rashid’s ‘future’.

Speaking of the future.

He’s been looking for Al Mualim this entire time and he has his suspects (Rashid, however, is not on the list) but honestly?

He’s just waiting for the person who would be picked as the one to lead the expansion to Masyaf since that would be Al Mualim.

Desmond has, unfortunately, fucked up the timeline so badly that the person chosen to lead the expansion?

It was Desmond.

.

Sidebar: Faheem would be that cute younger brother who turns grumpy when he grows up. Desmond will forever grieve the lost of little cute Faheem. Faheem is always embarrassed when Desmond talked about his ‘past’.

College fits: the desi version

Kurtis

Starting of with the very basic indo-western outfit: Kurtis. Now, you can wear knee length or short-length kurtis, whatever your prefer.

First of all, please, for the love of god, don't go for those cheap chikankari kurtis or those 'kashmiri embroidered' kurtis. It's disrespecting to the real chikankari and kashmiri embroidered work and secondly, its tacky atp.

Go for normal, printed or plain kurtis. I would say thin straps, or cut-sleeves kurtis cause they feel more girlish and more appropriate for college. If you are insecure about your arms then you can go quarter length and full length too. You can buy good and cheap ones from zudio or myntra.

You can pair your kurtis with shorts, jeans or skirts. Your jeans could be linen, wide -legged, cargos, etc. Avoid skinny jeans or ripped jeans.

Personally, I love to wear short kurtis with baggy cargos. I wear boots cause I love that edgy aesthetic. It's OP for me. I live for that fit.

Skirts

Now, if you want to wear those long flowy skirts, you can just pair them with any normal top of your choice. Additonally, you can wear a duppatta as a scarf and go for the whole Ananya from 2 states look.

You can also wear those really big shararas that almost look like skirts. But daily wear dividers/ shararas are a bit hard to find. You would have to get them stitched only.

Nowadays, a lot of of other sort of traditional skirts are also coming. Wrap around skirts, pencil skirts, short skirts, etc. You can find them easily online. Again, pair them with your normal tops.

If you don't like those traditional skirts/ ghagras you can also opt for those trending maxi skirts. Pair them with jhumkas, duppatta and a boho tote bag and you are good to go!

Shirts

Okayyy so printed shirts are my favorite.

You can just wear the shirts with the bottom of your choice. Even with skirts. You saw Katrina Kaif in Fitoor. Take inspiration.

If skirts aren't your thing,I would personally suggest linen pants. Looks amazing.

The other option is ofcourse wearing your shirts as shrugs over your outfits. Avoid buying those full length shrugs and wearing them over jeans and top. It doesn't look elegant.

Random

Pathani kurtas on women>> Yes, I mean those short linen material kurtas that men wear. Feels androgynous and I love them alot.

If you have some pretty duppattas and scarfs, you can wear them as tops.

You can also wear those patiala pants like geet from jab we met. They are really comfortable and I feel not as normalized in your indo-western style too. So you can have your own unique style by experimenting with them. You can buy the plain color patiala pants and pair it with cute fitted strappy tops. Complete the look with punjabi jootis.

You can also just wear duppattas over your normal western outfits too. Maybe or maybe not add jhumkas according to the outfit. Add a totebag and voila! the simplest indo-western outfit out there.

Vests! I live for vests. Vests add color to my outfit in the simplest way possible. it's chic, it's elegant and ots perfect for when you have interviews or jury if you wear them the right way.

There are endless possibilites with the indo-western look. It's all upto you- how much you want to experiment. Some of my friends in Nift even wear sarees in indo-western look and go to college wearing that. So, ultimately it's all upto you.

Accessories

I feel like accessories totally determine your look. If you want it to be more party wear types or minimalist- it all depends on the accessories. They totally carry your look.

For the normal days, you can add on chudiyas. Can go for siilver ones, but if you want it to be a bit more dressy, you can buy matching chudiyas.

Accessories matching your outfit>>>> Even if you are wearing silver jwellery, try to match the rest of the things with your outfit. Rubberbands, hair clip, bangles, your shoes, your bag, etc.

Wear jootis when you go indo-western.

I feel like the key for accessories is to not overdo it. Keep it simple. The best part about our desi style is we have a lot of ways to dress up- bindis to payals. For your college fits, you can just go for bindis matching your outfit or the black one, jhumkas and bangles. finish it with a totebag.

When your shoes are visible with an outfit, you can do this. I like to wear boots alot. So, whenever I wear dresses and my boots are visible, I wear payals over them. It looks really cool. 10/10

if you are really into the aesthetic and want to play around, you can also try wearing scarfs as hairbands, silver necklaces as headbands, use earrings as hair ties.

To feel like a desi coquette, you can wear those bowtie hair clips matching the color of your kurta

Hey there! Stumbled onto your blog and got interested.

Could I request Ace, Riddle, Malleus, Leona, and Jamil with an s/o making them a feast to congratulate them?

ofc friendo! Trey thinks this will be cute-

(sorry for the lateness on requests! school stuff again...)

𝙲𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚏𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚝!

Characters: Ace Trappola, Riddle Rosehearts, Leona Kingscholar, Jamil Viper, Malleus Draconia (all separate)

𝓐𝓬𝓮 𝓣𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓸𝓵𝓪

Woah! You seriously prepared all this for him? Just for him? Every last bit of food... is for him? And you're giving him all this because of a high mark on his most recent test? Geez, you're generous! You must also be really proud of him to be going out of your way to make every last dish, he'd feel bad to eat all your hard work, but he'd also feel bad to not eat it! But theres no way he's finishing it all in one sitting... so help him out a bit, of course, he's totally not telling you to have some just so you two can dine together, no, no, not at all! You are the cook, so you should have your share!

On the outside, he acts prideful and confident; "Hah! I know I did good!", "I totally deserve this for all my hard work!"

But on the inside; "They seriously went out if their way to do all this for me? How can I thank them?? Think Ace, Think!"

He's like a flustered mess in there. He looks at your smiling face and can't help but blush, his heart is beating so fast for you... you'd never know unless you could hear it beating, and he hopes you can't.

ℜ𝔦𝔡𝔡𝔩𝔢 ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔰

This is all for him? But why? Why spend all your time preparing all this just for him? Sure, he may have just accomplished a big achievement, but he doesn't believe he deserves this... You had everything set up perfectly, the table was fancied up with candles, a fancy tablecloth, attractive cutlery and plates, hell, even the food was looking stunning! He didn't know what to say to your kind jesture, but when you had gently placed your hands on his shoulders, and led him to his seat, he could feel the pace of his heart quicken to what felt like 60 beats per second, surely that is not healthy... but at the same time, he liked the feeling of the butterflies in his stomach, and his fluttering heart. He didn't know what to say... or what to do, but he felt like he didn't want this sweet moment between you and him to end.

𝕃𝕖𝕠𝕟𝕒 𝕂𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤𝕔𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕒𝕣

So you prepared all this for him...? Every piece of meat that sit on the plates that lay across this table... is all for him? He is flabbergasted, he never expected anyone to celebrate him like this, and especially for it to be an occasion celebrating such a small achievement, he may have a smug face on the outside, but in the inside, he just doesn't know what to say. He wants to pay you, his herbivore, back for all the kindess you showed him since you had first met, but he is unsure how... do you like jewelry? maybe he can get you some... gardening? maybe he can find some way to get you your own garden... the possibilites are endless...

Jamil Viper

"Reader... you know you don't have to do all this for me."

He'd be thankful, of course, but he brings himself to believe he doesn't deserve it... He is just a mere servant, after all. Only those of royalty should be celebrated with such a grand feast! Yet here you are, setting up a long dining table, a fancy table cloth, candles laid about, plus other fancy decor, fancy dishes and utensils, a warm and cozy atmosphere... all of it meant for him, and only him...

Sure, he just completed some huge achievement, but he believes he is completely undeserving of this, but when you gently guide him over to his seat, calmly sitting beside him, and passing him different foods to try out, he chooses to accept it. You always know how to make him feel special...

Malleus Draconia

His child of man prepared this all for him... he can't help but smile! To have the very person he cares so greatly for congradulate him like this for such a great achievement... it fills him with a warm, soft feeling. He sits down at the table, and immediately brings you to join him. Without you, how can he fully enjoy it? Without you... there is no joy, despite this all being made by your hand... without your presense, it feels empty. So please join him for this celebration feast.

Look if Disney insists on making a princess and the frog remake (which they will, mark my words) allow me to pitch the one thing that will save this movie. Practical effects.

I am a firm believer that if this movie stays as far away from cgi frogs and crocodiles as it can they will have a much better movie. Like can you imagine jem henson style frogs on a jim henson style swamp. Or at the very lest have puppets as your starting point and work over them. Big CGI projects feel so far off to me, like the 'live action' lion king. I kind of broke my heart that there was nothing there. A real swamp with real living breathing (I've met puppeteers trust me these things breathe) characters, to me, is just so much coziers than a lifeless computer generated melty faced blob.

And can you imagine Doctor Facilier's song (it's been a minute since I've seen this thing) done with practical effects. Think of things like matilda. You can acheive so much with wires and magnets and hidden stuff. And i mean compare the chalk scene in matilda vs the musical film. When watching films that utilise practical effects (star wars, early harry potter, matilda) to their fullest potential, not only do you get a more realistic experience, you can feel the problem solving happening behind the screen. You get to ask yourself 'how did they do that?' and the answer isn't just, it was never real in the first place.

"But won't kids know that they're puppets. Don't you want things to look real."

Look as a child, I did not believe that Kermit the frog, or those henchmen goblins from labrynth, or Yoda were real. But just because you know something is a puppet doesn't take away from the fact that it's real. You know Yoda is a puppet and yet when watching the film you experience him as just as real as luke skywalker. And the scenes play out so much smoother because its actually there.

When you insist that everything must look as though it is in real life you're ignoring the fact that the realist thing you can do is have it exist. Understanding that kermit is felt and glue does not take away children's ability to emotionally connect with him. Sure there are no endless cgi possibilites. But I could reach out and touch kermit where i could not reach out and touch the lion king. There is an intimacy and magic in Labrynth that is not present in something like Alice in Wonderland 2010, because I see everything though the distant lense of computers.

To misquote something I heard someone say about star wars, no one kicks up any dirt any more.

TLDR: If/When disney makes their princess and the frog remake, give me puppets, give me wires, give me stuff thats really there, or give me death.

Hi! I'm writing fanfic between my Githyanki Tav, and I wrote in his lore that he's ftm. I actually used one of your posts to write part of it! I was wondering if you think a ghustil would handle transition surgery, or if their's a small offshoot of ghustils just for that. Your posts seem thoughtful and well-informed, so I thought I'd ask your opinion!

Ahhh anon thank you so much for letting me know I'm so touched and honoured my posts and HC/lore have helped you in writing your OC and his story !! I hope you're having a lot of fun <33

As for how githyanki would do something like transition:

there's a few ways I think about and veins you could go. I'll just kind of mention two right now because I could go on forever and endless possibilites lol.

Note: I write my HCs, worldbuilding and meta to fit my BG3 narrative for Van and Voss mostly <3

1: they have similar gender ideas, genitals and transitions that we as humans understand

2: they have completely different gender ideas and genitals than us, and transition to them is something more akin to what we know as body modification

(you can also just like, mix and match all these ideas and have fun!)

But first of all I want to think about the ghustil a little more in-depth.

Like it's kind of a catch all term for their healers, and there's one assigned to creches, they most likely have them in their cities, on their raids etc.

Now yes, magic works differently to how we know healing to be (Drs having to specialise generally) but maybe ghustil do too. Their energies aren't infinite. Limited to their physical energies, probably their interests, maybe their own bodies and how it can respond to certain energies and their own psionics (maybe ghustil have a more insular in-touch nature with their psionics than say someone akin to Orpheus whose psionics express outwardly, violently and powerfully.

So even though ghustil assigned places have to deal with all healing and assigned overall ghustil duties (think GP, field medic etc) they might be more proficient in things like manipulating blood or flesh. Mending bones. Augmentation. Diseases etc. I think then we may have subsets within the ghustil. Ghustil adjacent. Ghustil for Kith'raki only. Ghustil that also understand dragon biology extensively. Ghustil for only once you're permitted into Tu'narath etc.

So with this, there could be ghustil who have special interests in, or are very adept at bodily surgery, augmentation and plastic surgery etc that is part of transition.

Maybe githyanki specifically visit these specific ghustil at their creches, at Gith'mir, finding where and which raid they're made to attend and getting top surgery in the middle of a raid while the ghustil runs back and forth tending to wounded.

Referencing point 2 above, maybe there's a complete subset of ghustil that design and focus their skills on creating body modifications to make githyanki feel more complete or comfortable in their bodies.

For example in my genital HCs, more fem aligned bodies usually have more slits than masc, so maybe they'll create more functional slits, or purely decorative ones. Maybe they'll adorn their chests with silver body piercings or modidifications to mimic breasts (if they're in your canon).

For me, the sinister thing about ghustil in my HC is that many of them are very Vlaakith pilled and I like to HC that Vlaakith (from I) has long controlled the population through selective breeding from the change to egg laying from suppossed live births, and it just kind of got worse and worse. So now there's a kind of mass sterilisation in the population unless you're the 'special' chosen shu'kyani.

Not to mention the zhaith'isk lmao and how they know the truth about that nonsense.

Anyway, I'm so sorry for such a long answer, I just love thinking about the possibility of ghustil and what else they could be and do.

one piece by eiichiro oda, small description, personal thoughts and review

ONE PIECE SPOILERS AHEAD!!! BECAREFUL!!!

small overview : one piece is about a boy named monkey d. luffy who strives to be the pirate king after the first pirate king, gol d. roger was executed and left behind a treasure that has all wealth, fame, and power called the "one piece" luffy's goal is to gather a crew to find the one piece and become the pirate king (his TRUE TRUE goal/dream isn't found out yet tho).

______________________________________________________________

personal thoughts : i think one piece was good/alright, i used to be a huge fan before i watched bleach but the thing i feel about one piece is that sometimes it'll get repetitive and slow, especially in the anime, i like the art style and i like the expressions and the way all characters are drawn, and i think the manga covers are extremely nice and represent the chapter well, also there's a LOT of foreshadowing in them. (the cover of volume 25, showing shanks, luffy, blackbeard and buggy)

(the cover of vol 105, showing blackbeard, luffy, shanks, and buggy, this time they are yonkos (emperors of the sea)

______________________________________________________________ review and categories : ______________________________________________________________ world building : 5/5 i feel this was expected. the world building possibilites in one piece are ENDLESS, there are always new places, first with the grand line, then the new world, then wano, then egghead and i can go on and on, absolutely 0 complaints. (wano country, dressrosa, and water 7)

______________________________________________________________ female cast : 2/5 this is where one piece lacks ALOT, alot of the female characters are very unrealistic and overall weak, serving no purpose other than fan service, there are a few good characters like robin, nami, and big mom which are strong and serve a major part in the crew and the show.

(tashigi, perona, robin, nami, boa, vivi, and big mom, from left to right)

______________________________________________________________ power system : 3/5 the one piece power system mainly consists of haki and devil fruits, i feel devil fruits are lacking as some can just be downright overpowered, like the quake quake fruit which can end the fucking world and then there's a fruit that just turns you into a jacket, haki has 3 types, armament, observation, and conquerors, it's a nice system but it's extremely similar and there's alot of the times, nothing new and repetitive.

(gear 5 luffy, using his strongest attack, bajrang gum mixed with his devil fruit powers and haki)

______________________________________________________________ pacing : manga 4/5, anime 2/5 (overall 3/5) the pacing in the one piece anime is one of the worse and is one of the main reasons why people reccomend to read the manga instead, there's not alot to say about this but yh.

______________________________________________________________

conclusion : 3/5 one piece is an amazing story and the most popular out of the big 3, although it has some problems, the characters are extremely likeable, it's extremely funny and relatable.

What do you think about the fact that Jamie has not had a single confirmed goal this season? Correct me if I'm wrong but every time we know who scored (in one way or another) he never is the scorer, even when it's said he's been the match MVP. Is it going anywhere? Like, will this lead to a confrontation with his "dad" or something, or it's just a coincidence?

Hiya, nonny!

I believe you’re completely right about Jamie’s having no confirmed goals this season and it’s hurting me on a deep and personal level, but I – like Jamie, I imagine – am trying to focus on the fact that scoring goals isn’t everything and that Jamie is now moving into an even more important position on the pitch and in the team. (That said, it’s perfectly possible to play in his position and still score, and I’m really hoping we get to see that before the season is over, because as much as I adore seeing other members of the team get a chance to be stars, I am a Jamie fangirl through and through and I’d love for him to net that ball, you know?)

As for it going somewhere, I see two obvious possibilites (and there might well be many more, so don’t hesitate to add your own ideas to this):

Either it will pan out as you suggest, with a confrontaton with Tartt Sr. where Jamie’s new position and lack of goals are brought up as proof of him turning soft (and therefore useless). I believe we’re all expecting a Manchester episode, what with the trailer clips from Etihad and what appears to be Jamie’s childhood bedroom and Phil Dunster mentioning in a recent interview that we’ll learn a little more about Jamie’s background. I’d love for his dad to make another appearance, if only to see him get put down and – in my dreams – the whole team coming to Jamie’s defence. And even if the potential confrontation doesn’t pan out that way at all, I think it’d be very interesting to watch, so yeah, here’s to hoping. (I’ll be honest, I fully expected this to be episode 10 because of reasons, but from the admittedly vague episode description that now seems less likely.) And if the confrontation takes place before the match against Man City, Jamie could then go on to score a goals – or a few of them – against his old team, ‘causing his father endless pain and outrage. Wouldn’t that just be lovely?

However, it could also be that this whole thing is part of Jamie’s journey towards an acceptance of not always taking the center stage, not always being the best. Phil Dunster has talked about how a happy ending for Jamie would be a good enough ending, with Jamie realizing that he just has to be good enough, rather than perfect. This makes me a little bit worried that we won’t see Jamie fulfill the promise of being better than Zava, but that the payoff of his emotional journey this season will have him realize that he doesn’t need to be; he can be okay anyway. He’s good enough anyway. (Which is perfectly true, of course, but it can be true and he can still score some goals… right?)

Bittersweet possibility: the big final game is against West Ham* and it comes down to a penalty that Jamie takes – and misses. He’s obviously completely devastated and have no fucking idea how to handle the fact that he let the team down and fucked up this one thing that he was always supposed to be the best at. But! The entire team hastens to comfort him, assuring him that he is so much more than just his ability to score goals, they like him for who he is as a person, he’s an integral part of this team, and they’ve got him. I don’t love this idea, but I guess there’s something for Jamie to learn and realize here, about how his value as a person isn’t determined by how good a footballer he is and that it’s okay to fail and that his teammates will still have his back either way. Just a stark contrast to how his father always reacted to anything less than perfection, you know?

Not saying that this is what I think will happen; just playing around with possibities here and obviously it's all wild speculation. Jamie's lack of goals could well be coincidence, with no need to read too much into it. (But reading too much into stuff is kind of the fandom deal, you know?)

*I know there’s a case for the big final game to be against their white whale City, but I personally prefer it to be West Ham, because I want Richmond to win over City but lose the Premier League finale. (No, no, I’m not rooting for West Ham, I just think that Richmond winning the whole league will make it feel so much more like an ending and even if this is the end, I don’t want it to feel like it, you know? I want an ending that feels like we’re just leaving them for a little bit, but if we cared to glance down at the Dog Track, we’d still find them running around that pitch, playing their total football and having a blast. And if there was to be a fourth season, it’d be neat for them to have something to still strive for. And okay, that can be achieved by them losing to City but winning the league, but for Jamie related reasons I want them to triumph at Etihad.)

Some would say their marriage had been rushed: they had only been dating for a year when they got engaged, and then married within months. Isabelle had convinced herself they were saying it because they were jealous of their love and affection, the two of them drawn to each other like nobody else. Enzo was everything she wanted in a man. He was loving, passionate, the perfect mix between nerdy and serious, and he also put up with her at times chaotic lifestyle. Working as a journalist often had her stay up late at night in order to get her thoughts down on paper, being caught up in the latest political tantrums and always trying to stay up to date with everything.

This honeymoon gave the two on them a much needed break from reality, with nothing but each other to focus on. They couldn't have picked a more suitable location either, the romantic coastal town matching their interests. Looking up at Enzo, Isabelle's eyes glittered with affection and admiration for her husband, evident to anyone looking their way. "I wish we could stay here forever," she sighed, looking over the scenic view as they had sat down for lunch. "We totally could, though. I just need my laptop and you.. I don't know, you could totally pull it off right?" Her soft giggle filled the air between them, her mind filled with endless possibilites as long as they were together.

Brushing her fingers delicately over Enzo's hand, a soothing touch as she relished the moment they shared. "Did I ever tell you how glad I am I married you? You bring out the best in me." Isabelle's eyes were now locked with his, the surroundings had little importance as long as his dark hues locked with hers. "Everything makes sense now. But you still won't let me win in tennis, though. You're such a bad winner," she teased, her free hand giving his thigh a squeeze. @rampxnt

alright okay "Limited Life" is a cool name and all, but I feel like Grian really missed out on a chance to call the fourth life series "Life Time".

Now hear me out here. I know switching Life to the first half of the name is controversial, but the name is otherwise amazing. Not only would it have fit better in the syllable cadence that we've been maintaining thusfar (2-3 syllables max, whereas Limited Life has 4) it also states clearly what the factor is that makes this Life series installment so special.

Time.

Because let's be honest, lives have been "limited" for every series so far; if anything, the boogey-kills gaining extra hours makes the lives less limited than before. And sure, "Limited Life" has nice alliteration, but Double Life and Third Life didn't need that either, so that was never a criterium.

But perhaps most importantly; consider the pun possibilites. We all know Grian loves a good bit (he's a fad boy, after all /ref) and the name "Life Time" would most certainly offer endless opportunities. The start of a session would be "Life Time" as in "time for the life series". If someone runs out of time it was "the end of their Life Time". If something crazy becomes possible it's a "once-in-a-Life-Time opportunity".

So basically I'm just saying; Grian missed the chance of a Life Time.

You're welcome. *drops mic and walks away*

Dick Grayson and Damian Pokémon team pls!

Okay Damian first because I sorta cheated with him. The thing is Damian already has four cannon pets so I actually just choose two of his team based on personality and vibes.

1. His starter would have to be a gift from his grandfather during his treinament and therefor it was a Riolu. The Pearl pokedex describes it as small but extremely powerfull and I think that this was the comparisiom that Ra made when presenting him to Damian that while they were both small they shouldn't be underestimated. Since Riolu evolves from friendship Damian soon had a Lucario. Lucario it's able to feel aureas and acording to the Shield dex it only trusts a trainer with justice in it's hearth. So yeah a great Damian Pokemon. Since Damian's nicknames for his pets progress from a more serious to a more casual naming system, Lucario is Tsu based on the writer from the art of war.

2. His second Pokemon actually got a sillier name. It's Sharpie his shinny Aegislash. Because Damian got to have the sword Pokemon and Aegislash is the only non legendary one. He got it as a Honedge. When he got to Gotham it already was a Doublade. When he had more trust on his sibblings he told Dick his Doublade wanted to evolve but they didn't had the means and Dick and Damian had a trip around Gotham (later Steph joined in) until they foind a dusk stone to evolve his partner.

3. Titus the Houdoom was Ace's puppie and Bruce gifted it to him. Damian was very proud to have the son of his father pokemon on his side.

4. Goliath the Noivern. His feroicius bat like dragon type is bigger than most Noivern and it's feral. It hates everything and everyone except Damian and it's an menance except worh Damian it loves Damian and specially his trainers belly rubs. It's very protective of it's trainer.

5. Bat-Miltank thr Miltank. Damian rescued it from a farm that was abusing the poor Pokemon. It's a bit shy towards most people but loves Damian. It uses a bunch of Bat theme costumes.

6. Alfred the Sylveon. I don't care. Sylveon is a cat. And that's not because I'm a cat person and love Sylveon is just a fact. Firslty I though about giving little Dami an eeve to represent the endless possibilites he has a the youngest Robin but i couldn't avoid giving him Eeves friendship based evolution. Now depending on the continuity Damian still has an Evee (that Dick gave him) but during his time on the Team Titans it evolces to a Sylveon.

▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️

And now let's go to Dick.

Dynamo the Corvinight. Rockidee was his first catch during one of his various travels with the circus. It was there for him when he lost his parents and they have a huge bound. The moment he became Robin on his first patrol night Rockidde evolved into Corvisquire and nust the same it became a Corviknight as Dick became Nightwing.

The other Pokemon he got during his time on the circus was Larry the Dreepy. It took a long time but during his time leading the Titans (still as Robin) Dreepy evolved into Drakloak and finally when he was helping Damian train and bond with his mons and family it evolved into a Dragapult. Now I choose Dreepy because it's pokedex entry says that while a weak Pokemon it can get stronger if it has a friend to help him along the way and Dick looked a lot like someone who would occupy it's papper. The fsct that Drakloak has an entry about how it helps other pokemon get strong and it's very encounranging of the profress of the dreepys it lives with also matched both Dick's leading spirit in the titans and how he was with Damian and in a minor level Tim and even Jason. It also flyes really really fast.

Wayne the Sweallow his first catch as Bruce's ward. Later with Court of Owls debacle he discovered that the court planted the Pokemon (when it was still a Tallow) as the first step into Dick's indoutrination as a Talon but fortunally failed the rest. Wayne got it's name because it's really serious.

Turbo the Vaporeon. Eeve was sorta of a gift from Bruce as he took young Dick to a Pokemon rescue center and after Dick had bonded with the small pokemon Bruce decided to let Dick keep it. It was always close to Ace. Dick evolved it when Wally took him to an stone vestival. He let Turbo choose if he wantsd to evolve and the stone it wanted and it pick the Water stone. I got Vaporeom from Dick because I like the idea of the Batkids having Eeves that evolced diferently , besides that there was the color match and the fact that Vaporeon is really good at disguise a think that a kid who goes around in shinny costumes has to also be really good at.

Yiipee the Togekiss. Dick got it as an egg he rescued during one his first solo missions. It soon hatched into a Togepi that was really shy and only showed itsef for Dick, Barbara, Cass, Kory and young Jason. It was really upset when Jason died. Togepi evolved during a battle against Joker as he was treatning Tim and both Togepi and Dick couldn't lose another brother. During their adventure to find a dusk stone Damian fpund a shinny stone he shyly gave as gift to Togetic (and Dick) the Pokemon accepted it happly and evolved. Togekiss was choose because I just think it vibes with Dick really well.

Finally Dick's last team mate is Haley the shinny Dusk Lycarock. He was based on Dicks actual cannon dog. I choose dusk Lycanrock because Dick fights mostly at night so midday wound't make sense (though is a good catch for Duke since it highlights the fact he is Gotham's day protector) and midnight just doesn't vibe with Dick so he got the special third form.

Old Station Wagon...

The smell of fumes....the heat of the day beating down and heating the already hot as an easy bake oven interior...the pushing, poking, tormenting of three older brothers...the curling wood paneling inside and out...the love for my heroes, the brothers.

In my Childish mind they could do no wrong even when engaging in behaviour meant to elicit a frustrated response, which led to our Father handing out discipline. And still...I would sit, stand, walk, jump from roofs, barn hay lofts and just generally follow them wherever I could. I was, according to the brothers, a precocious pain in their collective asses.

While the memories are few before ten, certain flashes of memory are crystal clear.

My two oldest brothers squaring off outside the big glass window, ready and willingly agreeing on settling an ongoing issue with fists.

Sitting squished in the stiflingly hot, dusty back seat of the old Cortina with the brothers as we careened down old logging roads to the Okanagan Lake. The shock and joy of cold water on heated skin...

Running, jumping, climbing, walking through acres and acres of Orchards alone...

The 'hello hunny' from Mrs. Holitski next door standing at our fence...handing me the largest apple I had ever seen...the kindness on her face, the acceptance. The first sweet, crisp bite of that apple...juices running over my chin.

The gruff and grumpy face of Mister Holitski...he spoke little...red long johns no matter the heat, suspenders and old faded green pants. His big worn work hands folding carefully over mine on the broom handle, showing me how sweeping is properly done. The watchful infinitely wise eyes watching me work...perhaps wondering where my parents were and how he got stuck with a wild ginger 6 year old. We didn't say much at all in those long hot summer days...after a task he would bring me a dewy glass of sweet iced tea sweating in the heat of the day, I would sit on the concrete and he in his ancient creaking beach chair in comfortable silence.

Throughout the years I have been blessed with knowing a few men and women of such character...of such principle...of such strength and fortitude it molded and nudged me into growth, into a respect and admiration for my elders. I was blessed with examples of how to live according to your values, of how to accept those around me where they are...where they stand on their journey. Of how to stand alone...in my judgements, in my assessments, in my principles and values. It is a quiet place rooted deep within dear hearts...found once more, only with much inner reflection...with being hurtled to the ground, to the lowest point of your life path...drowning in the rolling waves beating down, crashing over me I headed under...deeper, and deeper still...and found life beneath the pounding surf.

Let the waves come...let them drive you to depths you've forgotten...to the beginning, to the core of who you are.

Let the tumultuous waters wash you clean....letting go of the confusion, the chaos, the condition of your soul...let the salty brine flow through and to the darkest parts of your mind...clearing the way for light, for life, for joy in the morning.

I do not know why the years of my young youth are swimming to the surface but I have learned that it is wisest to embrace...to let each memory play out as they quietly swim to the surface. As with more recent memories I sit with no judgement...as the negative thoughts seek to belittle, berate and boil over In shame and embarrassment I give them over to Love...I give them over to compassion, to understanding....I give them over to patience...I give them over to sorrow for ever believing in anything less about myself, for letting the poison take root and tear apart my spirit, my mind, my soul.

Dear lost and broken...dear survivors...dearest victims....you were never meant for evil...you were never meant for brokenness...

You are meant for greatness...meant for an incredible life full of joyously endless possibilities.

You will reap such kindness, such love and life as you've never known....you have given so diligently in the little things...things people discount too often.

A smile for the young face looking up at you...

The warmth of your hugs....the grace with which you smile through the sorrow hanging on your shoulders...everyday...even when you feel as though earths gravity has shifted its crushing weight directly on to your chest.

I've seen it on many a face these past months...the smile that doesn't quite make it to the eyes and yet reflects the kindness found there...despite....despite the world falling to pieces round about them.

Your faithfulness will be rewarded....do not give up on hope dear friends...

Your prayers have been heard...your sorrow, your heartache seen....life awaits you round that next corner, past all the pitfalls...the tribulations...it will fall away into the depths of the sea and as the sun rises and falls to rise again so shall you find joy in the morning and in the setting rays disappearing over the horizon....

A bounty's worth...a pirates hull full of treasures worth awaits each one of you.

Be steadfast my friends...hold the course, keep your eyes fixed on the stars that chart your path and see the storm recede into the background, see the gale force winds slip their moorings and fade into a warm breeze smelling of fresh life, of sweet success at battling your way through. Steady at the helm...steady...find that inner resolve that has been sitting in decay, waiting for the moment you set it free...waiting for the moment you give it voice...waiting for the time you breathe rejuvenescence over your soul....

I believe, therefore I am....

What did Descartes mean.... 'I think, therefore I am?' The only thing that remains true that there is a mind or consciousness doing the doubting and believing its perceptions, hence the famous formulation, 'I think therefore I am', or in Latin - 'Cogito ergo sum'.

I believe....I believe I can...I believe that I will....I believe.

I believe in you....and come with hands reaching out in acceptance, in love for where you are...yes, right there in the muddy pit...let me sit with you right where you are, for no matter where you are, you are loved, worthy....you will make it out, I promise you...Look, see there? A path up, a path out....lift your head weary ones...oh it is heavy I know, but trust and try...lift your head and see the path, your path...no one else's.

We stand with you...beside you...together. Together as you take that first step to a future free of fear and loathing. Together as you slog your way out of the depths of despair, as you drop the heavy weights from off your shoulders. The weight of words pressed upon you, breaking you down...let it fall to the ground to sink into the mire, into the muck where it belongs. God sees you dear one....I pray for your comfort, for your way free from your perilous journey...I pray for your safety, for your sanity amongst the most horrifying of lies meant to doubt the sanctity of your mind.

Go with God today and every day forward....may your feet find their way to happiness, to joy unceasing, to kindnesses unending.

"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20-21).

Go in Grace....go in dignity....speak your truth, carry a big stick.

Hey hope you doing well

I'm not same anon

Thank you for answering your fav arcs. Your selection was great, i was certain you'd love wci. It's such interesting family dynamics right

Most people didn't recieve the arc well..

I love your works btw. So I'm very much interested in knowing your favourites, so your fav haikyuu arcs? Or matches and top 3 fav characters:)

Feel free to not reply if this gets repetitive.

Hello again, anon! :D And noooo omg I'm really enjoying having the excuse chance to ramble about things I love! So don't worry about being repetitive because you're definitely not :D

Top 3 hq!! characters? Oh my. Well I've already said too much about Hinata being my top fave, so I guess I can elaborate on the #2 and #3 in my kokoro.

#2 - Yachi Hitoka and Sugawara Koushi

I'm going to cheat a little here. I love these two equally after Hinata and no one can make me choose who takes the next top spot, so there ;-; Seeing Yachi blushing and stuttering and just being a total mess in front of Shimizu made me forever endeared to her. Like yes girl I too would make an absolute fool of myself in front of people I feel are out of my league. Also!!! Her struggle with self-esteem and her trying to become her own person apart from her mother's legacy is such A Mood. Her arc is shorter than most of the cast but it didn't make it any less memorable to me. And homegirl chose hell with a career in ad design. She's pretty insane, I'm sure.

And Sugawara is just so charming as a character! How I wish I had a senior like him in my high school clubs ;-; It actually distressed me a little that he hardly got any action during their final battles in Tokyo Dome, but his antics on the side made it a little worth it. He's capable, self-aware, dependable and also emotionally intelligent, which I really, really appreciate in male characters. I take comfort in the idea that Furudate-sensei might have modeled his personality after a real individual. We need more people in the world like him imo.

#3 - Miya Osamu

This is actually so funny. Right off the bat, people who know me in real life always guessed correctly who's my favorite of the Miya twins I'm that fucking predictable. Atsumu's a great, interesting character for sure, but Osamu's soporific disposition kept making me think 'hmmmm there must be something else behind this person'. And as soon as it was revealed that Osamu didn't have any intention to go pro after high school, I started fixating on him. And because Furudate-sensei knows my heart, of course Osamu didn't pursue what was expected of him, of course he loves food, of course he'll make a career of making the classic onigiri, of course his uncomplicated love for food is a great contrast to his chaotic relationship with his brother/volleyball. Man!!!

And as for arcs/matches---

#1 - Brazil Arc/Post Timeskip

I am extremely biased. Hinata's my favorite character. And Brazil arc Hinata is god tier Hinata. Anyone who says otherwise can argue with a wall.

But for real, I just love it when authors throw their MCs into unfamiliar situations and environments. People may argue that it's a lazy way to shove character development into the plot, but in Hinata's case it really fits. I also love the cross-cultural exchange that comes with it! I know Brazil is already familiar to Japan considering their shared history with Portugal, but it's still nice for Haikyuu!!'s Japanese audience to (re)learn about a country quite different in culture and social norms. I for one became really interested about Brazil and Latin America that I started reading novels made by Latin American authors.

#2 - Karasuno vs. Aoba Johsai, Interhigh

I might be in the minority here, but I like it when the main characters lose at times. It's not because I enjoy watching the heartache. But the journey going from bottom to top---the possibilites are just endless. It kind of feeds my need for hopeful stories. I think of myself as an optimistic person, and I watch shows like Haikyuu!! wanting to be inspired and uplifted.

Hinata and Kageyama's dynamic on the court was, to me, a bit unequal during the first arc of the manga. The freak quick with Hinata closing his eyes and heavily relying on Kageyama setting with pinpoint accuracy was indeed cool, and it revealed so much about them as characters, but it was clear from the start that it's not the move that'd catapult them to the top. Dare I say it was more of a gimmick than an actual technique; their success with it won't last. Hinata opening his eyes to find himself blocked pointblank made me sad no doubt, but it's also a satisfying way to end the match. There's literally no other way to end it. And I love that this arc spurred Karasuno into making themselves a more complete team by the time they faced Shiratorizawa.

#3 - Karasuno vs. Nekoma, Tokyo Nationals

They hyped this match so much since the first arcs so obviously my anticipation was through the roof. Plus there's the generational aspect of it that made the whole thing bittersweet (The reveal that Grandpa Ukai was watching the Nekoma match in the hospital and commenting with pride, "My disciples are there" !!!!!!!) And I love the imagery this match has given birth to! Conniving cats versus feral crows in the garbage dump! Kenma and Hinata aiming to stab one another at the jugular! Kenma trapping Hinata in a birdcage! And Kageyama breaking Hinata out of it!!! *incoherent wailing*

So sorry if this answer got too long once again. Thank you for taking the time to ask my opinion. As you can see, I greatly enjoyed sharing my thoughts with you! :DDD

[taradactylus]

reblogging cuz I wanna add the more recent episodes thoughts into it and also I want more ppl to maybe see this

So uh... Eclipse is prooved to be a badly put together scrapped wet-cat-energy fried Doritos who has memory issues. I said previously when I stated that evil Sun could've grab ANY Eclipse from any dimension and just put SOME neccesarry memories into V3 Eclipse that our and the different dimension share. (Please read my previous post cuz I stated a lot there and went into detail)

And when Monty and Puppet interviewed Eclipse in their podcast channel, there was more than one time when Eclipse didn't remember things, no matter how hard he tried. Again, lemme say that Castor confirmed Eclipse is not a part of his cosmos. This Eclipse is not a part of this dimension. and as I was repeating this in myself, I realized...

Who needed to somehow magically bring back the Eclipse of THIS dimension? Moon is RIGHT. Ruin is RIGHT. Heck, even Eclipse. Literally everybody was right from the moment Eclipse returned. Maybe that's just me being stupid and tired and this was an obvious fact, but who NEEDS to somehow forcefully bring back Eclipse who turned into ashes away from his original dimension? Who WOULD literally go through the impossible JUST to bring back such a scrapped weak person as a distraction? He is not a part of this cosmos.

The key is dimensions.

Whoever brought back Eclipse can travel between dimensions most likely, and not just simply stuck in our dimension. And endless possibilites exist through dimensions.

As Eclipse said, everything is copied.

Take literally ANY Eclipse that share the most important memories of this dimension. Even Computer is capable of searching for such dimensions, how many of those exist to similarity %, ect.

Copy memories and coding, and scrap it down so this Eclipse should be a madman, but not a threat + it won't be obvious his memories differ from the dimension. Everyone will blame it on memory issues.l if you just take away that happened differently.

Take a Sun model.

Copy Moon's runes and link that to Eclipse as an extra distraction.

And knowing the only person who is watching you do all this won't interfere unless you mess with star power, you let Eclipse wake up, confused, unsure, but a task ahead: introduce himself immediately.

And we have the V3 Eclipse. This is the recipe. Great distraction at hand.

And again, Ruin was not capable of doing this in any sense. But how would oh dear Eclipse know this? Moon only gave Ruin permission to ONE dimension way after Eclipse's return, which is an interdimensional arcade Ikea.

But evil Sun is capable. His dimension couldn't be blocked off, he copies everyones memories and coding who come by (or forces them to come by), he is doing extended research on making an interdimensional star, he is a Sun model living in luxury, he was interested in our dimension, and he had the time, capability and knowledge to make this Eclipse and link him to a copy of Moon's magic, and put him to work.

Maybe someone else is also capable of doing this, but I can't think of ANY bad guy who was introduced rather recently and could make this Eclipse.

OKEY HEAR ME OUT!!! TSAMS SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

I still stand by the theory that evil Sun brought back Eclipse as a distraction. And now the newer and recent episodes in both the TSAMS and TLAES made me realize something, (although I'm mostly talking about two TSAMS episodes), so lemme run you through this quick idea from evil Sun's first appearance:

So evil Sun said that he wants to create an interdimensional star technically in the What if SUN was EVIL?! in VRChat episode. Moon said good luck with that, because he can't rewrite the fabric of reality. Evil Sun then replied:

"I dont have to rewrite the fabric of reality, I need to rewrite what uses it... automatically updating star"

So... I'd like to ask the entire fandom's ideas...

Would it be possible to drain the Astral Bodies powers?

MAYBE I UNDERSTOOD IT WRONG, but technically... they are the ones using the star power. They are made out of star. And Castor told Eclipse in the Eclipse is CONFRONTED in VRChat episode, whoever made him, is not from this dimension, and quote:

"There is your hint. Stop him before it becomes a problem for me."

LIKE... I DON'T THINK CASTOR WOULD SAY THIS UNLESS HE IS AWARE OUR MYSTERIOUS ECLIPSE-CREATOR IS CAPABLE OF ABUSING STAR POWER. (He technically also hinted whoever does this is a he.) And the only person we know so far who currently could and want to do that in a different dimension other than their own would be evil Sun. He copied Moon's knowledge after all. He became aware of the Astral Bodies after meeting Moon, even though I think he already knew about them.

But let's say Moon gave evil Sun the knowledge of the Astral Bodies.

Evil Sun episode happened in 2023 december 10.

Eclipse returned on 2023 december 26.

Even though time works differently between dimensions, evil Sun is a genius, and had time to build Eclipse. And let's not forget what Eclipse said in the same episode as Castor revealing the hint:

"What makes me an individual of this comsos?....What do you mean by that? What's not copied? Everything is copied. Nothing of this body is original. I am copied off of Sun, and the memories from another, my own flesh ripped and stripped of a Fazcade Arcade machine. My very power is drawn from somebody that I don't even know! You're not staring at an individual, except somebody who wants to get even."

Even Eclipse is aware of his very own coding. He remembers who he was, and knows exactly this is not him.

Evil Sun could copy a Sun body, he could've get ANY DIMENSION'S Eclipse memories that is at least 70% same as our Eclipse's, and since he technically copies other dimension Moon's knowledge, he can know about old Moon's runes. And we all know Sun's magical powers are big. I don't think thats any different with evil Sun.

What I'm trying to say is... evil Sun has the knowledge, the power, and the reason to do all of this. Maybe it's not him, but I still believe this is the case.

Sidenote, he was collecting data most likely from any dimension he could reach, and me, as a geographer who's entire work, no matter the topic, is all based on non-stop data collecting on whatever question I wanna find answer for, or conclusion/fact I wanna make... evil Sun does everything perfectly in order to reach his goal, which is the automatically updating interdimensional star.

He collects the knowledge of the well-known genius Moon from any dimension he could reach, Sun was PREPARED to hurt Moon's ego with confessing that his genius is not built-in-code but earned with time (that's like a huge scream this wasn't the first time he did this). He transferred the data before revealing what he is doing. And he probably has a TON OF data by this point. He also called new Moon "a dead one", which technically confirmed not every dimension's Moon died. Adds more to the fact evil Sun could've copied the runes.

And by this time, I think he drew a conclusion of how he could access star power in every dimension... The Astral Bodies. Sun just needs a different dimension to test it. In order to do so though, he needs to distract the smarties there. And tbh, it scares me that evil Sun said he heard about our dimension, and he was curious of it.

Anyways that's all I wanted to say. Maybe repetitive or doesn't make sense at all, I just still wanna share this.

[darkhats]

at one point i was thinking of making a sideblog where i do cookie run sprite edits and all the cookies r non-white but im not very good w cultures is the thing
