Life Humbles You...
In a bustling city, amid the cacophony of deadlines and ambitions, I found myself engulfed in the whirlwind of life’s pursuit. Years melded seamlessly, each one a canvas for chasing dreams that often felt like elusive specters slipping through my grasp.
Yet amidst the chaos, life’s subtle whispers found their way to me. With each passing year, it imparted invaluable lessons, reminding me that true abundance lies not in the ostentatious display of wealth but in the appreciation of life’s simplest pleasures.
As time unfurled its tapestry, I unearthed the profound beauty in solitude, the restorative power of a restful night’s sleep, the nourishment derived from wholesome sustenance, and the tranquility found in leisurely ambles. However, it was within the embrace of loved ones that I discovered true opulence, relishing every shared moment with an ardor unmatched by material wealth.
The allure of life’s grandiosity gradually waned, replaced instead by an earnest reverence for its modest wonders. The laughter of children, the warmth of familial embraces, and the tranquility of twilight vistas became my treasures, my raison d’être.
Today, I can safely say I'm grateful to have embarked on this voyage of self-discovery. By immersing myself in the simplicity of existence, I've been able to derive delight from life’s mundane intricacies, and revel in the ephemeral beauty of each passing moment.

The Paradox of Gain
A Journey Beyond the Self In our dialogue on Guru Viking, the episode “Bodhi in the Brain” unfolds a narrative that delves into the essence of spiritual enlightenment and the realization of oneness.

so rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead functions on the idea of these guys not having a choice right? and even if they choose to just sit down and not move anywhere they'll probably be moved to where they need to be regardless? and the only choices they have are how they choose to interpret their world, with rosencrantz needing to find and test the boundaries of it and cement their place in it and guildenstern trusting the narrative without question? and guildenstern refuses to allow either of them to decide who they are? and they are so interconnected with each other that they are simply inseparable and indistinguishable, even to themselves? and they cannot define themselves without the other and become lost when they lose each other? and their choice (or lack thereof) in identity (or lack thereof) is mutually decided (or determined) to be in their inherent love and trust and unity in and with each other? and you expect me to be normal about that?
#they chose each other guys they chose each other when they didnt have a choice#something something one cannot exist without the other. to believe in one demands the reconciliation of the other#i swear i was going somewhere with this#idk i think theres a certain beauty and unimaginable pain in having to exist both undefined and defined by another#horrible simplicity yknow#anyway#ragad#rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead#r&gad

you're SO right, how is it that the best portrayal of many italian renaissance figures comes from a bad videogame from the 2010s
wheezing I’m torn between going truly this is the best portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci we may ever get, and defending AC2 even though I’m a full time Ezio Saga Hater
#I’m a Desmond Era + Origins fan in a ride or die kind of way but the Ezio games suck ass compared to 1 and 3#however AC2 is miles above the European Era games and Odyssey butchers the use of Ezio’s theme so bad I will never forgive them#also Odyssey is legitimately bad. AC2’s biggest problem is that the story is narratively weak and holds it’s punches#I mostly hate the Ezio saga because the fandom was really fucking racist (still is!) and it could’ve been good!!!#but I have a deep seated fondness for the parts of it that were good. the game after all is still asking you to live even when it’s hard#the opening and the music are unparalleled and legendary. I just wish it kept that up throughout the story instead of#trying for a wider appeal but the story fucks up it’s own themes and bc the simplicity of it’s assassin/templar line up is baffling#there is also an AC2 that exists in my head that takes place in Venice lmao but that’s much more spy thriller#also did anyone here read the novelizations. Ezio and Machiavelli are so fucking married. 10/10 no notes#Ascanio is also mentioned in the brotherhood novelization iirc so. we stay winning!!

i'm probably in the minority of this but the spy x family manga has bored me for months now.
i did enjoy martha's backstory but other than that it's been stagnant and unsubstantial. there's nothing driving it forward.
#i understand the humor/simplicity/slice of life approach but it loses its appeal after the 60th fucking chapter#and this wouldn't even be up for discussion ofc if it was actually *good* to begin with#good manga with similar premises/themes exist and again there's just no substance anymore#the disappoint is even worse since the manga started out so strongly too#each chp i still hold out a little hope but i should honestly just drop it at this point#it could also be because of the bi-weekly schedule#i can see how binging might not be as bad but that won't change until the actual story progresses/it's completed#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

#sleep token#here is a thing#there are certain moments when Vessel looks.. no he rather feels.. small#i mean his.. aura? presence? but not in the non-captivating way but as in an emotionally vulnerable way#i don't really have the words to describe this but just like on this picture#bear with me for a minute because this is either gonna sound completely unhinged or make some sort of sense#it's probably just me having a little more time on my hand than i should and just want to see things but..#sometimes he feels so present in a here-i-am as-i-am take-me-as-you-will this-is-all-i-am i-can't-give-more-nor-less it's-just-me sorta way#he feels so human in the rawest sense possible and yet so deep in character maybe even more so than when he creatures or teefs and all#like.. he is just vessel in it's simplicity and without the 'divine' if you will.. simply just vessel#in his barest of existance#a shadow of someone who used to be but not quite anymore#he is in pieces and it is willingly laid bare under the mask and all that bodypaint oh so clear to see for anyone#and that is not the outstreched hand of you-are-not-alone but the outstreched soul that cries you-can-find-yourself-in-me#and that is what i find so heartbreaking about him#this kind if raw openness because the lore says vessel is a conduit for sleep#for us vessel (and the the others) is the conduit of our emotions#and he is there somewhere inbetween the truths#just him a simple human being who sometimes seems to wish not to be human which makes him more human than anything#and that is what i can't describe better than 'sometimes he feels small' and at time even maybe makes me cry a little

Tagging X Reader Fics
Hey all - I saw this post going around and wanted to make an easy, two-cents kind of post to go with it.
Primary Point: If you want to keep your tags clean, Moonpaw's request actually helps. You can tag "x reader " "reader insert" and then just the character name. Instead of 4-5 different ways the fandom uses a character name plus all those variations of that name and x reader.
Example:
[ x reader, reader insert, donquixote doflamingo, doflamingo, doffy]
vs
[donquixote doflamingo x you, donquixote doflamingo x reader, doffy x you, doffy x reader, doflamingo x you, doflamingo x reader, doflamingo x y/n, etc.... ]
Secondary Point: I love Fantasticsnail's description of x reader as a sort of RPG journey style story. Sometimes there's parts of the character insert that need to be defined for the story's sake, and generally there aren't, and sometimes we define parts because it' comforts us as writers (and sometimes those variants aren't for everyone And That Is Okay Too.)
Just make sure you tag your stuff.
You can warn about other details in your CW or Notes prior to the story start. If you want folks to know you prefer y/n, or you use [name] or whatever, that's a good place to do it.
I'm not saying you *have* to do things this way, but too much variance in tags makes it hard for people to avoid what they want to avoid.
Just like you don't want to surprise someone with dark content unexpectedly, you don't want to surprise them with x reader or even canon x canon!
Everyone has a right to curate what comes across their dash, and please, remember, don't censor your tags T-T Nothing sucks more than being afraid of spiders, having that word blacklisted, and seeing spiders cause someone decided to tag #sp!ders or some such.
Tumblr tags aren't smart. Simplicity is best ^_^
#quin muses#I love x reader stories#as evidence by the plethora of them I've wrote#I love canon x canon too but I haven't written any of those for YEARS#And please give to me all your OCs#do your best out there y'all#we're all out here existing for free#and I think a little simplicity is useful =3

could we get some ciel headcanons to go with the rio headcanons anon?
of course!
as already said in the other post, she was really, really indecisive on what she wanted her cure name to be when she was younger. this also extended to her costume design. she had 20 or so different ideas stored away (and none of them were what she ended up going with)
she's pretty good at art, actually! needing precision and technique with the design of her sweets ended up translating into being good with a pencil and paper. it becomes a hobby later on.
avid minecrafter. prefers creative to survival
she's verified on twitter
coffee drinker (she picked up the habit in france. rio, meanwhile, is ride or die for tea)
has absolutely weaponized her position as the older sibling to get what she wants. rio usually fights back with a comment about how their age difference is two minutes
#and as an older sibling i say good for her it's what we deserve /j#actually nobody knows the true age difference because. yknow. fairies don't have clocks so it's a guesstimate#and i also headcanon fairies as being like... made from kirakiraru? popping out of the kirakiraru lifestream? if that makes sense#seeing as how pekorin and the twins don't seem to have parents and rio is bleeding out kirakiraru in 23 like it's some sort of life force#so baby kirarin poofed into existence one day and the other fairies came upon her and while they were figuring out what to do with her#bam. pikario be upon ye. and so because of how close together they were born and their similar appearances it was assumed they were twins#and that was that. but since nobody knows how long kirarin was sitting there before they found her it's possible the difference is bigger#but for simplicity's sake they usually use the time between her being found and pikario being born. rio prefers this system. ciel usually#goes along with it but in desperate times she Will utilize the possibility that she's a lot older to her advantage#also the kids are all raised communally with chourou as the elder being kind of a 'grandpa' figure#sorry for the loredump i didn't want to stick it in the main body of the post because it was supposed to be ciel-centric#precure#pretty cure#kirakira precure a la mode#ciel kirahoshi#waffleverse: headcanon#<- some of these apply to wv!ciel#asks#bluedogxl#cure waffle au

One of the nice things about not being in high school anymore is getting to rediscover my love of numbers
I had it in my head for years and years, courtesy of high school maths, that I'm just... Not Good At Maths. Not bad, mind you, but not good and also Did Not Like It. Fractions and logarithms and integers and exponentials and I was in tears near constantly and stressing out about it
I will still say, comfortably, that I am Not A Mathematician. That's fine, everyone has different skillsets
But I do Like Numbers. And it's nice getting to remember and apply that again
#me#anyways I spent an hour and a half at work today calculating the current average runtime of a shoot day on our production#which meant adding up the total runtime of each shoot day individually (data existing in the hours minutes seconds frames format)#then converting that all to seconds for simplicity (at this point frames were dropped)#calculating the mean#then converting that final number back to hours minutes seconds#and I enjoyed myself IMMENSELY#it looks complicated when you look at my workings on paper but honestly?#it's just addition multiplication and division#it's just numbers! and I like those!

CASA NAMORA
By David Bilo & Filipe Pina
GONÇALO, PORTUGAL
Situated in a natural shelter of a valley at the foot of the Serra da Estrela, close to the parish of Gonçalo, in a place also known locally by the name of Mora, this agricultural property has approximately 18ha of area, and is surrounded by a dense pine tree forest. (...)
The name NaMora has a double meaning in Portuguese. It refers to the location of the project, where “Na Mora” would translate into “In Mora” (Mora being the place where the property lies), but “namora” in Portuguese means literally “flirt” or “date”. (...)
Inside, we sought the neutrality given by the simplicity and purity of the materials and by the illusion of the absence of detail. The idea of interiority translates into openings towards landscapes, frames, and courtyards strategically located.

kofola is good drink because it has the vibes of a beer without being beer. and also they're not afraid to try out weird flavours. raises my keg of rum flavour kofola
#sorry this is a niche post im a kofola appreciation account#i haven't been able to find the apricot flavoured kofola though... where did it go#unrelated to kofola but related to czech cuisine. im thankful for a culture that understands that a meal can be a slab of cheese#i didn't realize grilled cheese was a sandwich for years because. smažák exists#sometimes u should just grill a cheese. genius in its simplicity

Killing Intent
It’s silly how we strangle intention.
Torture it into something dishonest
and kill it softly so it’s unnoticed.
It’s silly the way we accuse.
Throwing things around as a game,
to see how much we can handle.
It’s silly the way we live.
As if it’s not long enough,
like we never have before.
Isn’t it just enough to breathe,
to walk and learn and laugh?
Haha,
what a silly thought, huh?

does the rita manga tell us where their family is from originally? afaik gokkan doesn't really have any non-prisoner citizens right
No, not yet at least. It's just extending scenes from the show instead of giving a full back story for Rita. So if we are to learn anything about their brith family from the manga, it's gonna be a long wait.
#it takes 3.5 chapters just to leave N'kosopa it might take another 8 - 9 weeks to wrap up ep5...#“この国の人ほぼ全員罪人か元罪人なわけですよ” (the people in this country are pretty much either prisoners or ex-convicts.)#so there does exists a third group of 'never a prisoner' to make up the last percentage#from Duga ep21 we can see immigration/employment is not exactly popular unless you fell in love with their king like Shiron I guess#but if you really think of it. the first Gokkan King can't be a criminal at the formation of their state#and say Gokkan is a meritocracy for simplicity's sake#the founders' bloodlines will be the bottom case of your last percent#moffsages#2312172235
