#Patience Is The Key

[eyeoftheheart]

“Meditation is not a quick cure-all. You will start seeing changes right away, but really profound effects are years down the line. That is just the way the universe is constructed. Nothing worthwhile is achieved overnight. Meditation is tough in some respects. It requires a long discipline and sometimes a painful process of practice. At each sitting you gain some results, but those results are often very subtle. They occur deep within the mind, only to manifest much later. And if you are sitting there constantly looking for some huge instantaneous changes, you will miss the subtle shifts altogether. You will get discouraged, give up and swear that no such changes will ever occur. Patience is the key. Patience. If you learn nothing else from meditation, you will learn patience. And that is the most valuable lesson available.”

I’ve been deprived of being able to art for weeks now so I’m drawing my favourite goofy trio as adults again because they make me go insane. George and Harold are such dads with their kids they’re so AUGHHSHUDI <- losing my mind

ALSO I wanted to practice my rendering as a little treat for myself for FINISHING MY WRITTEN EXAMS, LET’S GO!!!!! ONLY THE ORAL EXAMS LEFT NOW. I’M FREE (MOSTLY)

sometimes when I remember that firefly described sampo as "someone who's been trained to use daggers all his life" (not exactly what she said), I wonder what could've made a person spend their lifetime mastering the use of daggers other than self defence...

There's definetly an implication that Sampo's childhood might have been so rough that he didn't have a choice but to protect himself at a young age. Not to mention, sampo sees business relationships as the purest kind (we don't know if he's sincere ABT this or not since he's still keeping with his 'scammer act")> meaning that he never had a proper healthy relationship or maybe he did but something (like betrayal theories) made him realise that such things are fragile.

I'd like to also add that when firefly said this, sparkle was disguised as sampo but firefly, who is considered a very dangerous person, only judging someone by their outer appearance COULS just sense Sampo's danger from his build alone.

Ur telling me a stelleron hunter with a high bounty who is also a killing machine got wary of sampo? Our dear harmless friend who's always watered down to a 'scammer' by the fandom?

I really wish we could get some lore drops ABT him in amphoreus even if it's subtle. He's implied to be an emanator of aha after all! He should leave some trace if he's well known which we got to see when he broad casted belebog's crisis to the tavern

Im gonna try my best not to pull for amphoreus characters to save up for sampo but Im scared his future 5* team might end up having some characters from amphoreus, BC for example, when topaz came out, she wasn't really good alone until the whole deal of FUA began....

Sighhh it's hard to be deranged for a character who barely gets screentime yet hinted to be very lore relevant in the future but we ball with what we've got!

"i love you.": it was such a simple phrase, 8 letters, 3 words, yet it was the hardest for TSUKISHIMA to say. funny how a few words can hold so much meaning, so much commitment.

he knows that the phrase is easy for you to say. even though it's said often, it still hits him just as hard. the way the words roll off your tongue so casually kills him. he feels the same way, but the possibility of messing up scares him, and he hates that. after all this, you don't force it out of him, still loving him all the same. he's sure he doesn't deserve you.

but one day he suddenly wakes up, and he sees you in his sweater jamming to your favourite songs he grew to love too. his heart swells, and at that moment he thinks,"f*ck it, what could go wrong, right?" he says the words, soft and slow, with a heavy blush on his cheeks but his eyes never leaving you.

"this is long overdue but... i love you."

Tags are being deleted again…a bunch popped up again today and I just looked and they’re mostly all gone except for a few stragglers but they’re buried waaay down. I feel like that’s a tiny way for her to say something without actually saying anything? Even though I wish she would say something 😅

The deleting tags thing is the only thing she's going to say right now and that's fine.

I know we all want her to come out swinging, but like I said, they don't owe us an explanation. She's keeping quiet for a reason and just deleting tags.

We'll know when they want us to know.

when you really think about it, the whole episode was about parents and their children and the consequences of their actions. evanora's mistreat of agatha which lead to the death of the coven and the formation of the salem seven which now hunts agatha in present day. agatha and nicholas and whatever happened there which led agatha towards the darkhold. agatha and wanda and their fight which led to billy tossing the witches away at the end of the episode.

i dont think this is agatha's trial. and if it is, i don't think it's the last of it. jen and alice both left their trials with some form of confidence in themselves whereas every single thing that could go wrong with agatha's trial did go wrong. almost all of her worst fears came to life during that trial.

her mother telling her she was always like this, her coven turning on her, her accidentally killing alice, nicholas witnessing his mother kill someone. the road (or whoever is manipulating the trial) made it so that all of agatha's fears came true.

also, and maybe i'm in the minority here but i trust jac. all the questions she raised during wandavision she answered so i know if i have the patience, she'll answer these as well.

edit: further convinced it wasn't a real trial because the aspect ratio didn't change. i'm nearly certain agatha's trial will involve rio, nicholas and flashbacks, likely dealing with how they met and how she eventually came to possess the darkhold.

does the fact I drink and smoke change your perception of me?

I'll have to think about that.

Okay.

Are you okay?

I don't know, I guess it makes me a bit sad.

Why? Ultimately, my perception of you shouldn't matter. As long as you're okay with your perception of you.

And that hit me like a knife. Why? Because I know you are right. But I wanted your words to soothe me; I wanted to be accepted by you even if not by me.

But you aren't someone who will say words mindlessly, are you? You aren't someone who will answer lightly when you know I've asked something sincerely.

That's why I like you. Yes, I do. I like you.

And I love the sound of your laughter. I love the way you blush when I say something sexual. I love how you're my green sapling.

I do not know if you're a green forest. I do not know if you're my future. But I know this — you're someone I want to make laugh and you're someone I want to be kissed by. I know that you're someone I want to be patient with and someone I want to allow myself to heal in the presence of. This much I know, if nothing else.

I won't make myself another drink, I won't ask you another question tonight. 나중에. 다 나중에. 지금은 계속 우리가 되자구요. Later. All of it later. For now, let's continue being us.

What you want ist not what you be.

Remember, friends, patience is key.
