What is a Passive Fire Protection System?
Passive Fire Protection is critical in preventing the fire and smoke from spreading further. As a result, it reduces severity, protects people, and limits damage to buildings and their contents. The installation of a passive fire protection component serves two purposes.

Actually I’ve come to the conclusion that Cynthia would like Kingdom Hearts for the exact same reason she likes Graces f (the homoerotic tension,,,,,,)
#Also she’s just an action girlie in general! (sorry dism you have Inigo to enjoy turn-based games with instead 💔)#just pav things#She likes graces better though because it has multiplayer :) So she gets to ramble to Inigo as they both play!#In her mind this is basically forcing Minty to pay active attention to said homoerotic tension rather than passively watching 😎#But also she assumes that with Inigo’s demeanour he doesn’t want to be there :(#So also in her mind she is trapping Inigo into socialising more actively with her. Gaming is a cover for her desire to connect with him#After all it’s easy to say ‘heeey you promised you were gonna do a full playthrough with me >:(‘ and not ‘I really miss you’#Classic You Have No Name Poor CommunicationTM ✨✨✨✨#Inigo DOES want to be there wholeheartedly and sincerely derives enjoyment out of neurodivergent people monologuing about their interests#He loves his creachurs very much and that’s why he gets along so well with Dism and Cynthia! Inigo enjoys interesting people :)#Buuuuuuut he’s driven to suppress his feelings for Cynthia in particular because he’s trying to prevent having an attachment to her#Attachments lead him to get careless and hurt people :) Murder them even :) And then it hurts reeeaally bad :3#Of course this is where you can see the flaw in his logic#Why would he be trying to protect Cynthia from himself. If he didn’t already have an attachment to her in the first place <3#He doesn’t want Cynthy to ‘die’ bc he loves her. Inigo tries so hard to deny this fact in his head bc it defies his faulty belief system#he wants to keep indulging in the Lie born from his emotional Wound :3#In truth though feigning detachment makes him incredibly lonely and dissatisfied and ultimately hurts them both 💔#Cynthia doesn’t help in this either with her own ambitions to heal him hurt/comfort fanfic style for her own loneliness’s sake#So in conclusion fuck yeah codependent relationships ✨ truly a concoction of bottled up feelings#We love the drama hehehe. On some days I even prefer this over Dism and Archie’s mess just because of how natural and realistic it is#There’s no spiriters adding fuel to the fire and facilitating corruption this is just 100% flawed people doing flawed things!#…..Can you tell I was thinking of the moment where Cynthia and Inigo mend their relationship today 😭❤️

Writing Notes: Fire Development
Recognizing each stage allows you to describe with accuracy how a fire can quickly increase; later we will discuss fire characteristics, which will provide you with an opportunity to describe accurately the visual features of a fire scene.
THE 4 STAGES OF FIRE DEVELOPMENT
Incipient Stage
Also known as ignition.
This first stage begins when all 4 components have resulted in a fire starting.
Easiest to control and extinguish, and given the right circumstances, may possibly burn out on its own accord before it has a chance to reach the second stage.
Growth Stage
Shortest but most sudden of the 4 stages.
Combination of oxygen and any nearby combustible material will fuel the fire.
As it progresses, gases will rapidly increase in temperature, resulting in a build-up of pressure in the room.
Fully Developed Stage
When all the combustible materials have been consumed, the fire is at its peak and will be fully developed.
At this stage, the heat will be immense, and because the room will be engulfed in flames, there will be little hope of escape or survival.
Decay Stage
If the fire is left, then this final stage will be the longest, as the fire gradually finishes its consumption – think of a bonfire that is left to burn.
The heat still remains intense, and will do for some time, which is why firefighters remain so long at a fire scene even after the flames have been extinguished.
The fire may continue to smoulder and there is a risk of pyrolysis occurring, which may result in a secondary fire.

EDIT
Stage One: Ignition
When the 3 elements of the fire triangle (heat, fuel and oxygen) are involved in a balanced chemical chain reaction, a fire begins.
Can also be classed as the incipient stage if the reaction is unbalanced, leading to smouldering, low temperature fire with no visible flames. This type of fire still gives off toxic gases.
The fire easiest to control and extinguish, or as close to this stage as possible.
Stage Two: Growth
The fire begins to consume the available fuel in the area or compartment.
Heat rises rapidly, and in an indoor fire a smoke layer forms at the ceiling, descending as more fuel burns.
Where present, active fire protection systems such as sprinklers or smoke alarms will activate, and passive systems such as self closing fire doors will protect escape routes. An escape should be made in this stage, as the fire will reach lethal temperatures during the growth stage.
Once the fire reaches a hot enough temperature, a transitional event called Flashover occurs. Flashover is where the heat of the fire is enough that all fuel in the room reaches a combustible temperature more or less simultaneously, including the particles of fuel in the smoke layer.
Essentially, the room erupts into a fireball all at once and if you're still in the room when it does, you've caught fire too.
Demonstration of a "Flashover" [video]
Stage 3: Fully Developed
Now all fuel elements are combusting, the fire is at its peak and is considered fully developed.
At this stage, the heat is lethal without specialist equipment to survive it.
Stage 4: Decay
This final stage will be the longest, as the fire gradually finishes its consumption – think of a bonfire that is left to burn.
The heat still remains intense, and will do for some time, which is why firefighters remain so long at a fire scene even after the flames have been extinguished.
The fire may continue to smoulder and there is a risk of pyrolysis occurring, which may result in a secondary fire.

Actually I WILL talk about Mai's seeming 'radicalisation'. With the upcoming comic, I can see why a lot of people are confused/caught offguard by Mai suddenly having a vested interest in reforming the Fire Nation's school curriculum.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8e85ba4f3300ead700ab14fadf584613/4e27eab55465dffc-39/s540x810/6d985273156526539bb65cf35674145d6e96f072.jpg)
However, I don't think it's as much of a heelturn as one would believe at first glance.
Mai is a difficult character to pinpoint on some levels, particularly due to her upbringing which stripped her of a lot of her self expression. I think most of the fandom underestimates the trauma and effect of Mai's upbringing. I elaborate on it here.
However, the long and short of it is that Mai was not encouraged to question, criticise or, god forbid, rebel against her enviornment. To the point where her parents scared her with stories of spirits that would kidnap her if she misbehaved.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/084d02b4dc7339229dd7a6bcfb750577/4e27eab55465dffc-c5/s540x810/751073db18b603016bf47d0e43c14ad281fd18da.jpg)
Ukano's involvement in politics and relatively high status should also be taken into account. Mai would have grown up being strongly encouraged to conform to her father's beliefs and go along with his politics.
Mai : My mother said I had to keep out of trouble. We had my dad's political career to think about.
We've seen the propaganda and indoctrination of the Fire Nation school system, how it uses misinformation in its curriculum and how it punishes deviance.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/08d9f5f96180717750f569e22484c552/4e27eab55465dffc-d4/s540x810/8b3c03c4cecb4beeb055cdda5ba455d5a5d13109.jpg)
Most fire nation children won't have the tools to find the cruelty and danger in the philosophy of the Fire Nation. Zuko had to get banished from the country to even start his deconstruction. And he had Iroh at his side to guide him.
It's not shocking that Mai would not be able to see the flaws of the Fire Nation. Despite this, she still shows no attachment to the Nation's cause, either. In fact, she actively refused to take part in the war effort when she thought she could get away with it.
I don't think Mai had much sympathy to the other nations, nor will I claim she secretly harboured anti imperialistic sentiment. I simply want to state the fact that Mai was, from a young age, forced to do things she didn't want to do and conditioned by multiple parties, to accept this. Mai has been trained to be passive, with only the method of passive aggressiveness and gloominess to defend herself.
I think after the fall of Ozai's rule and the slow restructuring of the Nation, Mai got more freedom in her life. Ukano's political role diminished, so Mai was allowed to think for herself. She gets to discover the world more and develop her own thoughts and ideals, rather than the ones she'd been forced to conform to.
This line in the upcoming comic seems to confirm my thoughts:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8ae30d635481b5cb2d7c3e2f0d66dc19/4e27eab55465dffc-df/s540x810/2ed95ce37a80193ede8d9ed7cf4aa4f1e3963229.jpg)
Mai's upbringing is the underground and darkness. She was never given an alternative or agency in her life. And thanks to Zuko, she was able to see and experience a different world than the one she was brought up with. She is able to help to try and achieve it.
Initially, Mai is angry at Zuko's joining of team Avatar. She feels betrayed and upset that he did not talk to her in person, even if it was to protect her. And yet, she saves him. While I believe that most of her motivation was genuinely out of love for Zuko. But she also, ekther inadvertently or deliberately made the choice between Azula and Zuko. Between the two potential duture leaders of the Nation.
And she chose Zuko. Who is not only the boy she loves, but also the boy who can heal her nation.
There is an argument to be made about how Mai represents the Fire Nation itself and its relationship to Zuko, but that is a topic for another day.
The theme of Mai caring for the future of the Fire Nation can be seen expanding in the comics. As 99% of the fandom will tell you, the comics have their flaws, but I do enjoy their handling of Mai for the most part.
I think it's interesting that we are shown that Mai not only wants Zuko to be Fire Lord, but for him to be a good Fire Lord.
We see her dissapointed in Zuko secretly meeting with Ozai. At first glance, what she says to Zuko is that she is dissapointed in him keeping secrets from her, which is understandable, since the last time he kept a secret from her led to him joining the opposite side of a war.
However, with her next appearance, we see that Mai may have had another concern relating to Zuko's communing with Ozai. When Ty Lee informs her of Zuko also enlisting Azula's help, Mai exclaims 'so he really is turning into his father', which seems to denote that Mai has a distaste for Ozai and his rule, whether that be from the begining, or recently acquired.
Mai also criticises Zuko's callous and controlling restrictions over the frightened townspeople. This serves to further cement the idea of Mai becoming disillusioned with the similarly inclined authority figures of her past. Authority figures who were a symptom of the Fire Nation's utilitarian and imperialistic system. We see this disdain manifesting in its full force in the teasers for the upcoming comic.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b2c52a121ea5bc7964a2f83948a82d74/4e27eab55465dffc-3c/s540x810/aa2f2ec936dcdb91e02358b5e42425d810b38c0e.jpg)
I think people tend to not realise how restricted in her self expression and thoughts Mai was, despite all the puzzle pieces being laid out for us in the show.
Mai has gone through a very quick and yet realistic episode of character growth in my opinion. Not unlike a lot of people raised in heavily Conservative and restrictive households who peel off later in life, she's settling into her own mindset and motivations.
Ans I don't think it's an unrealistic idea for Mai to want to help change the education system. The Fire Academy for girls is where she met Azula, and as an all girl school alumni, I can tell you first hand how toxic and confining these enviornments can be.
While Mai may not be seen as a particularly empathetic or kind person (though I think this interpretation is flawed), she can sympathise with the young girls who will be placed in the shoes of her younger self.
She can want to not see these kids go through what she, Ty Lee AND Azula did.

[The panels of Mai glancing between the stifling interior of the school and the open window and choosing to go outside and lead the Nation's youth outside... ugh]
Not only is this a rather logical progression for Mai's character, in my opinion, but it also feels like a very big 'healing your inner child' moment for Mai. Since she was not really seemingly allowed to be a child, as most children in the Fire Nation appeared to have such restrictions placed on them.
I don't think it's much of a stretch of the imagination that Mai would want to have at least a small part in dismantling the system that harmed her and so many other children of the nation.
She is a young woman now, she has grown from the oversheltered, apathetic teen she was in the show. She has been able to make her own informed opinions about the state of the nation, has been able to hone her trauma into determination. And it seems we're going to see the fruits of this development in "Ashes of the Academy".
I have very high hopes for the upcoming comic, since what we've seen of it appears to make a compelling story, one I relate to deeply, as well as a good study of Mai, a character I find often misinterpreted by the fandom.

Sigil Magick: Illustrating Your Intent
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/15ab22e720d7ebc782606cf9098db189/de2f96df435618c4-a2/s540x810/ebef2fc5d7f429ee2d93ef63c4c58b84df817ce3.jpg)
Sigils are a cornerstone of contemporary and chaos magick and function as keys to unlock the doors of reality and bend it to one’s will. These potent symbols serve as physical embodiments of one’s intentions, cast into existence through the fusion of art and willpower.
The crafting of a sigil begins with a clear and focused intention, which is then worked into a unique symbol through a creative magickal process. The magick practitioner inscribes deep personal meaning and style into their designs, making each unique to its artist. Sigils are ideal tools for manifesting your desires, imbuing objects with specific purpose and energy, protecting spaces, and communicating with the spirit world and should be used responsibly.
Origins
The practice of crafting sigils traces its roots to the ancient world but was modernized in the early 20th century by the works of Austin Osman Spare, an occultist and artist. He introduced the method of creating magical symbols by condensing letters of a desire into an abstract design. Aleister Crowley, too, influenced the practice by intertwining sigils with ceremonial magick, embedding them with a rich esoteric significance.
Some occult grimoires employ sigils as a means of contacting spirits, for example; Ars Goetia, The Book of Oberon, and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.
Basics of Sigil Magick
Sigil magick emerges from the belief in one’s ability to manifest their focus into reality. Through a process of creation, a sigil becomes much more than mere ink on paper—it is the illustrated essence of desire. Individuals can use sigils as focal points for their will, empowering these symbols through meditation or ritual to enact change. The universe of sigils is vast and varied, types of sigils include:
• Pictorial Sigils: Intuitive symbols drawn from the subconscious
• Runic Sigils: Combinations of runic alphabets that resonate with specific energies
• Word Sigils: Derived from statements of intention, where letters are crafted into a unique symbol
Correspondences also serve a purpose in this class of magick, in order to help align one's intent to universal energies. As an artist crafts their sigil, they intertwine traditional symbols with personal significance, creating a bridge to the metaphysical world. Some relevant correspondences are:
• Numerology: Numbers carry vibrations that can enhance a sigil’s purpose.
• Zodiac Signs: Celestial influences infused to fine-tune the focus.
• Elements: The classic forces of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water lend their power to sigils, grounding them in natural harmony.

Sigil Creation
Before you take pen to paper, first envision your intent with clarity and purpose This may involve some deep introspection into the true nature of your desires. A precise intention lays the foundation for the sigil's power. Once ready, write out your intention and cross out any duplicate letters. From here a couple different methods can be utilized. Naturally you could always draw your sigils from pure instinct, creating spontaneous shapes to represent your intentions, but there are other techniques available.
The Wheel
This method employs a wheel to be used as a map for drawing your sigil. Simply start at the first letter of your intent and draw lines to each subsequent letter. Example:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d3027b92fed38f1a06f0d3a35be3927f/de2f96df435618c4-16/s540x810/5e07ae9ba523fbe911c1dc831fbbb5d41486de16.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2ee255f959a584d4bf833a45e4196629/de2f96df435618c4-7d/s500x750/97605bf3bedd2af59f32770e9b319c0634c06532.jpg)
My Method
I make my sigils by breaking up the letters to create shapes. I will often decorate with extra shapes, symbols, and pictures as well. Here is a simplified example of my sigil creation process:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/86794989c51e6ac905bd8a02d9171820/de2f96df435618c4-b9/s540x810/57894121662f34d5de827e1c068ec70e688d0b21.jpg)
Next you must charge your sigil. Charging is the act of infusing the sigil with energy. The creator might enter a meditative state, focusing intently on the sigil while envisioning their intentions intertwining with the design. This act of focused concentration serves to embed the intention within the sigil, making it a beacon for the desired change.
Passive and Active Sigils
Intentioned sigils fall into either the passive or active sigil category based on how that sigil's energy is best utilized. Passive sigils are usually drawn on the body, item, or surface and then left alone to release their power over time. Active sigils involve some action to trigger the release of the sigil's energy, such as burning, burying, soaking with water/oil, and more. Some sigils can be used both passively and actively, but most will fall into one category.
Spirit Sigils
Many spirits and deities have sigils that represent them and these can be powerful catalysts for interacting with these beings. If the spirit you're working with doesn't have a sigil made for them (or even if they do) you can design your own symbol to connect with that spirit. Follow the same process, but instead of focusing on your intent, focus on the spirit/deity and connecting with it. You can even perform a ritual and provide an offering to invite the spirit into your space. This will allow you to draw divine inspiration straight from the source. Here are some examples of spirit/deity sigils, as well as some I created:

Magical Oil Recipes - Protection and Warding Edition
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6c69b7e47540a25ac7b1b132d3f3f64d/8ec7849369af9c74-85/s540x810/5e50df005ed1041b8ddfea43027a83eebf0b57b6.jpg)
For anyone looking to brew up some magical protections or enhance their current warding measures, here are some recipes I’ve created that you might find useful.
To prepare them, blend the ingredients in such proportions as feels correct for your purposes (or as supplies allow). Use dried material except where indicated. Place a few spoonfuls in a mason jar with a screwtop lid and fill the jar with a bland oil of your choice. (Vegetable oil of the sort you would buy for cooking works fine.) Screw the lid on tightly and shake well to combine, then leave the jar in a dark dry place for 2-4 weeks to steep.
Once steeped, prepare a clean storage bottle (also with a secure lid) and label with the type of oil and the bottling date. Strain the oil through paper towels or cheesecloth to remove the plant material, then bottle immediately. Store away from sunlight and heat for up to one year. Use for spellwork as you see fit.
(Please note that NONE of these potions are meant to be taken internally by any means. Observe all proper safety measures related to glass, fire, and potentially harmful plants as necessary during preparation.)
*- Ingredient is potentially harmful if inhaled or ingested. **- Ingredient should not be used or handled if you are pregnant or nursing.
All-Purpose Blessing Oil For blessing, purification, and consecration.
Lavender
Sweet Basil
Bay Leaf
Patchouli Note: Use Olive Oil for the base.
All-Purpose Hexbreaking Oil For general negation of baneful spells cast by oneself or others.
Agrimony**
Cinquefoil
Fennel
Vervain

Sarsaparilla
Oakmoss

Juniper Berries Note: Apply to your front door or threshold.
Safe Space Protection Oil To help one find sanctuary when it is most needed.
Blackberry Leaf (or Tea)
Allspice Berries
Fennel Tops
Clover Leaves and Blossoms
The Shielding Light Protection Oil For passive protective magics.
Caraway Seeds
Eucalyptus Leaf**
Lavender
Vervain Note: Passive protection magic functions as a shield, rebuffing or neutralizing harm. It is good for long-term spells that don't require much energy or maintenance.
The Shining Dark Protection Oil For active protective magics.
Coconut Husk
Thistle Leaf
Witch Hazel**
Angelica Root Note: Active protection magic functions as a sword, strongly deflecting or fending off harm. This is best for short-term or immediate-use spells that are not meant to last, but must kick in very strongly and very quickly. Excellent for emergency personal protections.
The Sorcerer's Tower Protection Oil To protect your witchy supplies and workspace from interlopers.
Juniper Sprigs or Berries
Blueberry Leaf
Thistle
Astragalus Root Note: Works best alongside mundane secrecy and privacy measures. To avoid damage, anoint containers, furniture, and doors rather than items. Do not use directly on books as it may damage delicate paper or covers. Use with caution on unfinished wood.
Thorn in the Door Warding Oil To discourage unfriendly witches from entering your home.
Rosemary
Bay Leaf
Sage (any color)
Solomon's Seal Root
Rose Stem (with thorns) in master bottle
Walking Ward Protection Oil For personal warding spells of all kinds.
Sweet Basil
Witch Hazel**
Fennel Sprigs Note: This works for both active and passive protection magics and may be used in conjunction other protective oils.
Wanderlust Traveling Oil For all-purpose protection and luck while traveling.
Feverfew
Cinquefoil
Witch Hazel**
Spearmint
Should the reader require supplies, I recommend the following:

Starwest Botanicals
Bulk Apothecary

ugh, there is just something delicious about the parallel between mistynat and jackieshauna in the first two episodes of the new season. i barely know where to start.
obviously, misty and shauna lose their best friends. they're both to blame/blame themselves for nat and jackie's death, because essentially, they killed them.
misty actively kills nat whereas shauna passively kills jackie, which shows the difference in their relationship. but at the end of the day, once they realised what they'd done, they have a similar reaction. screaming 'no' in disbelief and holding them in their arms. they refuse to believe not only their best friend is dead, but they've killed them.
OH! and they're both too late to save them. shauna is too late to save jackie from the cold and misty cries, 'it's too late' when tai asks her how to save nat. i can't believe i almost forgot this!
another obvious parallel, misty wearing nat's jacket!! we see that shauna can't seem to let go of jackie's butterfly top, treating it as a security blanket, and now in the adult timeline misty clings onto nat's jacket. both items of clothing are physical reminders of their 'best friend' that they lost.
finally, what parallel stuck out to me the most: misty and shauna became the versions of their friends they THOUGHT they were. shauna marries jeff and becomes a suburban housewife, misty dresses like nat and goes to a bar to do whisky shots and pick bar fights.
however, nat was more than an alcoholic, despite being reduced by misty to a caricature. she feels purposeless after the woods, she's broken and from what we've seen, isolated. nat barely leaves her hotel room except to do risky shit like chase the blackmailer or help shauna dispose of adam's body. the most we see her reach out is to kevyn, who she immediately pushes away when he tries to break down her walls. she's built up this alcholic, uncaring, asshole wall to keep people out.
so when misty plays her as some rough, badass femme fatale, she's demonstrating to the audience that she hardly knows nat. she only knew nat's exterior, and nothing like her true character. to put it frankly, misty never truly knew nat because nat didn't want her to. so when misty 'becomes nat' she's becoming the shallow understanding she has of her best friend.
this ties into shauna never truly understanding jackie's true character. not because jackie hid it from her, but shauna's resentment of her did. every action we see from jackie is protective of shauna—giving her valium to calm down, saving her from the plane explosion, and even 'allowing shauna to eat her.'
however, shauna can't see how much jackie loves her because of her own bitter resentment. even as a ghost jackie is seemingly punishing shauna for letting her die, but most importantly, for hating her while she was alive.
'i don't know who you are anymore shauna.'
'maybe you never did.'
if anything, it should be completely switched around. shauna doesn't know anything about jackie. shauna is projecting this mean girl persona on jackie that just isn't there.
misty is projecting this badass, gets in bar fights and tries to light men's dicks on fire persona onto nat. sure, nat has done those things, but that isn't who she is at the core. just like how being a mean girl isn't who jackie is at her core (i've gone more into depth before, here).
i love mistynat as much as the next yellowjacket fan, but we have to be honest, for the most part, nat was always cagey with misty. something happened out in the woods that made her distrust misty, and i think they're going to explore that this season. especially with the whole, misty telling shauna that nat knows where coach ben is.
both misty and shauna make up these fantasies about their best friends to connect with them after their deaths. it's just so fascinating the writer's have decided to parallel these characters, because when i think about it, misty has always been written as this desperate character, craving attention and love. . . but so has shauna.
they've been narrative foils this entire time and it took natalie dying for me to realise it.

energetic shields ✨️
[long post]
what's the purpose of a shield?
a shield typically acts as a barrier between you and the outside world - they can be stationary or mobile.
shields are commonly used as personal protective wards, but can be used for so much more - let's get into it.
what can shields be used for?
protection from energy, people, or situations
creating illusions or casting glamours
absorption, destruction, deflection, or transmutation of energy
some examples:
a shield to ward off negative or malicious energy
a shield to alter your appearance and other's perceptions of you
a shield to deflect negative energy and return to sender
a shield that absorbs negative energy and transmutes it into positive energy
a shield that absorbs energy and tethers it to you or an object
a shield that destroys the energy it absorbs from a target
a shield over a location or place you frequent - your vehicle, your home, your workplace, etc.
a shield over a particular object
a shield to make you "invisible" - known as "cloaking" in some circles
when would you use a shield for something other than warding?
just as a shield can be used to protect or deflect, it can also be used like a solar panel to absorb.
to passively sap energy from a target.
to create an illusion of yourself or an object in order to distract and deter unwanted attention or energy - the illusion you create is up to you but the versatility of such makes for a very useful glamour. in the baneful sense, illusions can be used to disorient others.
how do you craft a shield?
typically through visualization and energy manipulation, although you could incorporate physical objects to "tie down" the shield (tie down shields that cover spaces, like your house or your car).
the easiest way to visualize a shield is to think of a bubble or ring that surrounds you, emitting from your person somehow - the best thing about this barrier is that it can look and feel however you want.
layering shields on top of each other is totally a thing.
you can program and store a shield in an object for later use - like a necklace or a sigil on paper that's enchanted with X energy that projects a shield when activated. you could store a shield in a pickle jar if you wanted to. go wild.
you can craft temporary shields to be used during spellwork or rituals (like casting a circle).
how do you craft and charge a shield?
that depends on the energy you're employing to craft the shield - the technique of crafting a shield usually involves visualizing the creation of the shield and then forming and emitting energy from within yourself to charge it, but! it doesn't mean that said energy has to be your own.
for example:
moonlight? harness and charge shields with lunar energy that you previously channeled and stored. alternately, you could channel lunar energy and then remain tethered to keep the shield up and running.
crystals? use that crystal as a talisman to activate a shield in its image.
fire? draw the elemental symbol in red ink on your wrist and press to activate.
home protection? set a protective talisman in your living room and let it do its thing.
i will say, though - having a tether that's connected to an external energy for an extended period of time is probably gonna be pretty hard to maintain. the tether will eventually break once your personal battery becomes so overcharged that it just stops charging altogether. i do not recommend it.
but, there are so many possibilities.
materials and textures
let's say your shield is made of glass - what happens when you break glass? it shatters.
what if it's permeable in some way? this could allow your own energy to seep out while attracting all kinds of nonspecific, outside energies in the process.
maybe it's so solid that it blocks out everything, even the stuff you want to attract (imagine an invisibility shield that accidentally makes you unperceivable to everyone).
what you choose to craft your shield from is entirely preferential, but it should be a reflection of your intent while protecting you, regardless of what you're using the shield for. speaking of, consider what you'd like the inside to look or feel like. i personally like the interior of my shields to be soft and relaxing. but! if that's not right for you, then you can literally do whatever you want. the possibilities are endless.
some ideas for shields
rose branches with thorns intact - visible but heavily guarded
moss, leaves, other greenery - earthy energy; good for keeping yourself grounded
metal - impenetrable but opaque; good for invisibility glamours
fire - destructive; could impact you negatively if it backfires; may take a lot of maintenance to keep it lit
water - illusionary but permeable and could potentially allow energy to flow freely; not super great for keeping energy in or out of the shield
crystals or diamonds - refractive; alters appearance or personality
holography - refractive and reflective; to distort the way others perceive you or done so in a way that makes you invisible to others; return to sender
rocks - impenetrable but weathers over time
glass - sure but why would you want to? idk
wood - could act as the foundation for a shield or be used to make a shield in its entirety; could potentially be destroyed by fire, water, or air energies
mirrors facing outside - reflective; return to sender
mirrors facing inside - illusionary; distorting imagery to disorient a target
aura - use corresponding colors that align with your intent
fog or haze - illusionary
sunlight - illuminating but also destructive
moonlight - illuminating; good for transmuting energy from negative to positive
black hole - the shield acts as the event horizon of a black hole to absorb and destroy energy
starfield - illuminate and highlight personal traits you want others to notice
cyberspace - neon and glitches, galore; disorient and distract a target when they look your direction
photo filter - to alter your appearance
what could go wrong?
it breaks or malfunctions
it doesn't work at all
it works too well
it won't stay charged
it drains your own energy
if your shield breaks, you can either repair it (like, if it's a solid object) or remake it (mundanely breakable materials that can't easily be put back together). how will you know if your shield breaks? simply enough, when you notice that it has stopped working OR when it starts to backfire because of the damage. the backfire part is self explanatory, and as for the rest - you might just know that it's falling apart, but if you have trouble sensing energy, you could maybe perform divination to confirm your suspicions. another possibility is that the talisman you used to form and charge the shield ends up damaged in some way. you may also be extremely fatigued once all that energy you gathered disappears or starts working against you. that's not to say that a shield is always gonna burst into flames spontaneously and immediately - it may break down and lose its integrity over time, but that also means it'll slowly stop working. look at the bright side, at least that would give you some time to repair it if you wanted to.
taking down a shield
do the thing you did to craft the shield but do it backwards. no seriously. visualize the energy slowly dissipating and departing back to whence it came. if you used physical objects to secure the shield, remove and cleanse them. if you asked for help with this one, don't forget to give thanks for the assistance.
do you have to keep using the same shield?
short answer: no!
longer answer: let's say you craft a shield that you want to keep around indefinitely, but only use in certain situations. you could totally store that shield somewhere for safekeeping and bring it out when you need it, recharging it as you see fit.
on the other hand, you can take down and destroy a shield after you use it and then make a new one when you need to.
totally up to you. :)
final thoughts
working with shields can be exhausting, so pls make sure you're eating, staying hydrated, grounding, and getting enough sleep.

Overworking ✧
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c139b0807923dd4fd3cf979c981909a1/0600c936b936755a-a8/s540x810/702956e9801082c28955d5fc69e149f283de00ad.jpg)
Plot : Your husband come home late again, and he’s too tired to argue.
The luminescent glow of the wall clock cast stark shadows flickering across the empty living room signaling midnight had long since passed.
Yet the apartment remained engulfed in stifling silence absent your husband Kento's reassuring presence filling the vacant spaces.
Your fingers drummed with steadily mounting agitation as each excruciating minute trickled away unanswered while you waited up alone on the worn couch.
It wasn't like Kento remaining entrenched at Jujutsu High working ungodly overtime hours was anything new lately, but tonight the resentment coursing your veins felt particularly acidic.
Gnawing into your composure with each pulse thundering that he'd once again prioritized his job over coming home to you like some insensible workaholic slowly squandering the precious remaining moments of your lives together.
So when the solitary echoes of his key scraping into the lock finally jarred the stillness, you shot upright immediately.
Chin raised in taut defiance while mustering the courage to confront him directly instead of meekly accepting Kento's feeble apologies and hollow justifications justifying this madness again.
The second your husband's hulking silhouette emerged in the threshold, you pounced without preamble.
"You're late. Again..."
Uttering the terse observation in clipped tones from between gritted teeth while actively assessing Kento's condition for the first time.
Disheveled tie dangling askew with his usually impeccable shirt and slacks wrinkled in haggard disarray. The sallow olive complexion only accentuating the bruised insomnia shadowing the heavy-lidded sag framing those rich bourbon irises clearly drained from sheer exhaustion.
Still, you braced awaiting the standard reflexive dismissal waving away your protective concerns as irrational hyperbole yet again.
Sure enough the indomitably stern furrow pinched across Kento's brow deepened in that telltale scowl preceding the well-worn rebuttal.
"Not now...I'm too tired to get into this tonight."
Immediately you recoiled from the uncharacteristically curt growl dripping in ill-concealed exasperation as he brushed past you towards the kitchen.
Clearly reaching the limits of his endurance and primed to counterattack like a wounded grizzly any impudent challengers foolish enough to pester further.
But the spark of indignation glowed red-hot behind your breastbone entirely eliminating any instinct for retreat tonight.
Not when Kento seemed hellbent on self-destructing through pursuing this flagrantly unsustainable pace.You swiftly followed at his heels hurling the accusations rapid-fire without filter.
"Why are you running yourself into the ground like this?! Working around the clock until you completely burn out or end up hospitalized?!"
Already his broad shoulders visibly tensed beneath the withering barrage while you mercilessly drove each rhetorical javelin home without allowing quarter.
No longer willing to stay passive as the man you cherished most wasted away before your eyes.
"And what about me? Do I not even factor any considerations about how I barely see you anymore besides like this - just discarded afterthoughts at the end of every grueling day?!"
Your throat constricted choking back the scorching bitterness now spilling unchecked across your blurred vision while Kento whirled to face your naked desperation head-on once more.
Every haggard line etched across those beloved Nordic features now seemed to deepen into craggy ravines utterly foreign and unrecognizable from the stalwart protector who'd stubbornly staked his entire existence upon safeguarding your shared sanctuaries.
"You think I revel in being away from my home drained like this? That I enjoy even a single second not by your side every night?!"
His roar simultaneously blasted both palms down upon the kitchen island's laminate surface with a percussive crack shuddering the tiles beneath your sock feet.
Unleashing the full tempest of Kento's frustrations that had evidently been steadily amassing into their own maelstrom these endless evenings alone.
"Every second sacrificed I'm away is to ensure you want for nothing! That our home remains secure from any potential threats! So you can live in peace while I handle these burdens!"
The wounded snarl flayed your viscera more savagely than any blade ever could. Shattering your ribcage wide open and laying your vulnerability bare before the man you'd always relied upon to shelter your most tender places from harm.
Before he instantly softened registering the mute horror stricken openly across your ashen features.
"Kento...that's not on you. If that's how you see it then...then I'm the one who failed."
But it was already too late to capture the venomous barb lancing out beyond your control.
The gaping void abruptly swallowing every lingering scrap of light still flickering behind your husband's visage surgically excised the very last remnants of air from your lungs.
You stood there paralyzed in that vacuum watching Kento physically recoil as if struck directly across that chiseled jawline.
Entire body tensing while the pitiless overhead fluorescents seemed to bleed away what little remaining color tinged those hauntingly cavernous pits now boring directly into your soul with singular uncompromising focus.
"Is that what you really believe...?"
The softly uttered words sliced you more lethally than any razor-edged steel forged by mortal hands ever could.
Rendered more agonizing by the bone-deep undercurrent of absolute loss now permanently severing whatever fraying lifelines still tenuously tethered you both to this point.
"Then you need no longer waste your evenings awaiting my return."
Even bereft of any inflections or venom lacing each syllable, the impassive delivery could do nothing to blunt the lacerations shredding your essence with every concise proclamation.
Feet already rooting to the very earth beneath while he turned without another glance disappearing beyond the hallway's shadows.
Leaving you adrift in a desolate, lightless world now devoid of anything to cling to beyond the scalding moisture already streaking down your hollowed cheeks.
You wasted away countless lifetimes in that void before somehow resurfacing in your shared bedroom consumed in numbness.
Numbly pulling drawers open on autopilot to shovel what meager belongings you could feasibly remove in a single bag while the man you loved lay entombed just beyond that dividing wall.
Unable to so much as utter a farewell...
The muffled sobs rattling your chest gradually gave way to an eerie calm overtaking your senses while automatically gathering those final essentials together.
Your motions felt disembodied and almost dreamlike - existing outside yourself surveying these mechanical preparations from some detached astral plane.
Until the bag's feeble weight balanced over one shoulder snapped you back into a razor-sharp presentience abruptly ricocheting off those cavernous bedroom walls now closing in all around with smothering permanence.
With nothing left delaying that precipice you couldn't avoid crossing no matter how desperately your psyche recoiled and retreated to those warm familiar shadows where he eternally waited.
You didn't look back or allow even the faintest broken whisper to escape while swiftly departing through the living room's archway into the vacant corridor beyond.
Each purposeful stride carrying you farther away from Kento and whatever fragile tapestry still barely clinging between your existences rapidly began unraveling behind.
At least until those first frigid droplets pelted the nape of your exposed neck signaling the night's deluge opened completely from the heavens above.
But still you pressed onwards, feet mechanically propelling you through the lobby then bodily out into the torrent with skull bowed in vacant resignation.
Allowing the punishing currents to immediately drench and plaster every stitch of fabric clinging to your skin in icy shackles now without a single conscious thought towards seeking meager shelter from nature's fury.
That was until the deafening roar erupting from behind shattered the hypnotic trance entirely.
"Y/N!!"
You staggered dumbly whipping about to find Kento's towering silhouette materializing from the building awash in halos of harsh illumination cutting through the downpour's veil like blazing searchlights.
His expression contorted into something primal and harrowing beyond lucid recognition while frantically scanning every inch of your drenched form now paralyzed before him.
Disbelief and heart-rending desperation etched behind the searing intensity now searing directly into your very marrow from those rich ember irises that had always been your touchstones in life's tempests.
Igniting reflective sparks to life where your soul's pilot light had nearly extinguished entirely under those scouring torrents unleashing in merciless retribution.
Suddenly Kento surged across the tarmac in two strides with his sodden blazer already stripped away to immediately drape the swathe of fabric around your trembling shoulders.
Immense oak-trunk arms effortlessly enveloping you against the indomitable wall of his chest while frantically trying to shield you from the punishing onslaught still pounding relentlessly all around in biblical wrath.
Yet not even those granite bastions offered sanctuary as chilling pinpricks numbed your entire body beyond feeling or substance now.
Leaving you a hollowed-out husk vaguely conscious of Kento's remorseless whiskey rasp shredding past your ear canal over the din of the downpour lashing against every exposed surface in scourging waves.
"Y/N...I’m sorry. I was just tired, please I never meant it. It’s just… work have been more exhausting lately, and I’m on the edge sometimes. I lied, I want you to wait for me above all else."
Each gut-punching admission brutally lacerated past all your remaining defenses as he clutched you so fiercely against his pounding sternum those shuddering heaves transmitted into your own rhythms.
Until his soaked bangs completely plastered across those raw features allowing you to drink in every agonized fissure.
"But please, don’t go. I’m begging you"
The desolate cries finally shattered every carefully regimented barrier you'd armored around that hollowed-out vacancy eating away at your soul's foundation.
Each raw and utterly shattered syllable pouring from Kento's very essence jolted those tiny embers still flickering no matter how decimated or waterlogged beyond hope of revival.
So when he finally wilted into that hushed horrific reverie while cradling your face in his battle-calloused palms like spun glass, you instinctively leaned into those colossal furnaces emanating from his gaze consuming you whole once more.
Offering the only meager benediction left within you to bestow while reaching up to reverently brush away those crystalline rivulets streaking his granite features that held more significance beyond nature's downpour.
The frantic thrum of both your racing pulses immediately surrendered into perfect intuitive synchronicity once more.
Gently guiding Kento back through the torrent from that lightless brink he'd pulled you away from towards sacred sanctuaries still smoldering eternally where your twin beacons would never be extinguished again...

Raichu! It’s been one of my favorites since I was a little kid.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6b7552089d1852c538595ff0bbc15f1a/a9737b51f5264442-82/s540x810/82b75925b2c58eb1e8ff6e812fb710640b1e7d23.jpg)
Strangely enough, considering their popularity and adorable-ness, raichus would certainly not make good pets for a vast majority of owners. Like many Electric-Type pokémon, raichus are a bit of a dangerous creature to have living in your home due to the sheer voltage of electricity they generate.
Now, as far as size goes, we’re in the clear. Raichus are on the larger size, standing above two feet, and their habitat requirements don’t raise any eyebrows. That isn’t to say your home would be fully free from harm with a Raichu around though, unless you are able to provide them with a designated space to discharge electricity.
You see, raichus generate a lot of electricity inside their cheek pouches as they go about their day, up to 100,000 volts (Yellow, Silver, FireRed). When this electricity builds up, stimulating their muscles, raichus get pretty irritable and even aggressive (Yellow, Gold, Emerald). Thankfully, these pokémon have a natural means of protecting themselves from this uncomfortable buildup: raichus can ground themselves by planting their tail in the ground (Red/Blue, Ruby). Can you see the issue here? 100,000 volts of electricity is certainly enough to start a fire, should your Raichu plant their tail into something flammable, like carpet or wood. Providing your raichu with a safe place outdoors to ground themselves would be an absolute must.
It’s probably already apparent to you, but that voltage is far too dangerous to have around the home. Unfortunately, raichus’ passive electricity is enough to incapacitate pokémon as large as copperajahs with just a touch (FireRed, Legends: Arceus). That’s an elephant-sized problem! At the very best, touching a raichu may temporarily paralyze you (via their Static ability), while at the very worst you may lose your life. If this was just a matter of avoiding touching them, it’d be one thing, but an aggravated raichu may actively attack you (Moon)! At up to 100,000 volts, moves like Nuzzle, Thunder Wave, Electro Ball, and Thunder Shock could be unbelievably dangerous. Thankfully, there are ways to tell if a raichu is reaching the limits of their charging: in this state, their ears stick up high and their fur glows brightly (Yellow, Silver).
Overall, unfortunately, I think that a raichu, much like a pikachu, is just a bit too dangerous for the average person to house in their home. If you have a lot of experience caring for Electric-Type pokémon, you may be able to handle a raichu, but I’d argue that most owners should look to less electrocute-y pets. They sure are cute though!

So I wanted the details from qhqfeihuo's post on X (""After interviewing Director Li, Hui Xiaohui clarified key points about the Yingdu arc") (also linked in @protect-namine's neat meta here) for reference for myself in text form so see below:
(If someone already typed this out or it was in a non-image form elsewhere, I did not see it, whoops. At least typing it out gives me more time to think about it I guess. If anyone sees this and spots a typo, let me know. Vein's name was all lowercase except for the start of #13, I capitalized in all instances below.)
The main storyline of the Yingdu arc seems to be about finding the whereabouts of CXS's parents, but in reality, it's about what's stated in the synopsis - whether LG can break the predetermined cycle of death.
When LG traveled back in time, he didn't initially expect to change the past. He simply followed the steps to recreate key events as accurately as possible. However, things still deviated in Yingdu. Under extreme pressure, LG fell into a fever and lost consciousness. When he woke up and reviewed what had happened, he attributed these changes to the butterfly effect caused by his own choice to return to the past. But in reality, more than his choice, the real reason for the timeline disruptions was another time traveler - CXS's mother - who went back in time to save her husband's life (as revealed by Li Haoling in an interview).
Realizing that the past was still deviating, LG decided he couldn't just stay on the defensive - he had to take action.
The actions LG took in Episode 6 will be revealed in Season 3. What is clear is that he didn't directly kill Vein. Instead, he took a gamble on probability. As a time traveler from the future, LG knew certain key pieces of information. He predicted that if he orchestrated a certain sequence of events in a specific setting, something unexpected would happen to Vein. Using the information he had, he pieced everything together like a Rube Goldberg machine. He wasn't certain that this setup would eliminate Vein, but in the end, his gamble paid off. However, his knowledge was incomplete, and the final outcome wasn't exactly what he expected - Vein came back to life. This is something LG didn't know, and it also serves as a major conflict in Season 3.
If LG didn't take action after realizing the timeline was shifting, he would only end up in an even more passive position.
Wang Qing's blue eyes were confirmed to be her own ability activating, not the result of LG possessing her. (Hui Xiaohui saw an unreleased review version of the episode, and at that stage, even Wang Qing's eye color hadn't been finalized.)
The color of the clothes worn by the person who grabbed XF's sleeve, as well as the yellow eyes that appeared on CXS, were animation errors.
LX has his own agenda, and even his decision to study in Yingdu was part of his plan.
QL has indeed gained LTX's ability.
The reason LX is so invested in the CWM case and so sensitive about the Bahati fire is that Bahati is a school linked to supernatural abilities.
LX's interest in the CWM case, as well as his own ability to "hear people's heartbeats", is connected to the idea that supernatural abilities can be taken away.
LX's actions in Yingdu had two purposes: 1) Summoning Vein to Yingdu and using his connections to locate Wang Qing in order to obtain her notebook. 2) After hearing LG's unusual heartbeat at the airport, he sent XF to monitor CXS and LG.
Vein's actions in the Yingdu arc were mainly due to his collaboration with LX. He used CXS's investigation to carry out LX's plans - helping CXS find people was just a way to lure out Wang Qing. CXS and LG's teamwork during their photo investigations unintentionally led Vein to discover Wang Qing's whereabouts.
As for XF, according to Li Haoling's interview, Vein bringing XF into his modeling agency and helping him with workplace bullying was purely out of principle and personal interest - he just found the kid amusing.
Through his interactions with Shiguang, XF formed a genuine friendship with them, which led him to propose ending his partnership with LX.
XF's disappearance three years later might be connected to his investigation into Vein's death, which he started by tracking Wang Qing's whereabouts and looking into the Bahati fire, ultimately getting caught up in the greater conspiracy.
Regarding LG's background, Li Haoling hasn't given any clear hints, but he seems to have already planned it out. There's a chance it will be revealed in Season 3.
