I love people who’re just safe. People who will always be there for you even if ur an imperfect human being. People who acknowledge the fact that ur trying. When you’re a person w anxious attachment/who’s had their fair share of people who poorly communicate or do not care enough to or would rather just walk out, that is literally so healing. I love my safe people
#Thinking of my one friend whom im never anxious w even if she takes a minute to respond bc ik that when all is said and done she#Will always be there#and will communicate#and that’s such an antithesis to a lot of people I’ve encountered in my life#I’m preparing a bday package for her rn bc she does not just deserve a present#but a PACKAGE

plagued by thoughts of barbie and queerness
specifically after my friend and i went to see it and were discussing it and i brought up the obvious queer coding she said ‘oh yeah weird barbie’ and i went ‘oh. no? stereotypical barbie??’
and when we unpacked it further i realised that she���d seen weird barbie as inherently queer bc of the way she’d been ostracised and called names that she made her own in time and could never fit in with the other barbies because of who she was and how she looked? and i saw stereotypical barbie as queer because of her lack of attraction to the people she was meant to be attracted to, liking them but never able to do so in the way they liked her. of being expected to act and be certain ways because of how she looked and the life she lived but not really wanting those things
honestly i don’t really have a point with this it’s just been ceaselessly rattling around in my lil brain
#the queer experience is not a monolith!!#idk!!!#also i was a weird kid (and yknow. black and brown) so to me weird barbie was just representative of weird girls#a lot of whom are queer obvs but the queerness Literally never read for me#barbie#ep#anyway barbie’s ace and so am i ✌🏽 lmao

some lesbian thoughts on elrond & galadriel
The dynamic between Elrond and Galadriel, despite being central to the show, sometimes feels under-appreciated in the fandom. Like many relationships in TROP, it doesn’t easily slot into a single category. It’s not merely one of friendship or kinship or mentorship
It’s not romantic, but it is emotionally intimate—and that seems to trip a lot of people up, even before 2x07. We’ve always appreciated how emotionally open Galadriel and Elrond are with each other, particularly given how guarded Galadriel is with most other characters.
She and Elrond have a long history prior to their reunion in the first episode, and during the course of the show they rely on each other as they navigate disappointment and loss, both personal and as relates to elven-kind.
They don’t always see eye to eye, but even when Elrond feels hugely betrayed by Galadriel’s choices, it doesn’t erode the love between them.
They’ve been separated during their respective darkest moments, but find solace and healing in each other’s presence. They bring light into each other’s lives, and together will be instrumental in banishing the rising darkness.
One of the strengths of Tolkien's work, and one of the reasons fans (including queer fans like us) return to these stories time and again, is the focus on platonic bonds that defy societal norms through the strength of their intimacy and commitment.
Of all the relationships we've seen on the show so far, Galadriel and Elrond embody this wonderful category-defying emotional intimacy most of all.
#elrond#galadriel#rings of power#the rings of power#lotr trop#trop#lotr on prime#rop#rings of power podcast#wtslpod#anyway the discourse about them has been something else!#as two gays who absolutely loved their dynamic in s1 as well as s2#and for whom That Scene in 207 largely worked#we just had some feelings we needed to share#mainly that the intimacy between them has been clear from the beginning#and that from the beginning people have also been weird about it and read a lot of stuff into their relationship#that simply isn't there#anyway that's all for now from the queer platonic lesbian bestie truthers#read that in any way you'd like 😌#trop spoilers#just to be safe!#also TO BE CLEAR we are not pretending to speak for all lesbians lol#but our perspectives as lesbians are absolutely part of our take on this relationship

#spinda#AAAHHHH YES!!! our belovèd spinda. from their café!!! probably one of my favorite minor characters from pmd sky#whom i don't even think was in the original explorers games. i think spinda's café was exclusive to sky. if i'm remembering correct#ly. or maybe that was shaymin village. i know shaymin village was for sure but maybe it was just that and not both of them. either way#have a delicious drink and allow the flower of conversation to bloom! i could quote spinda all day. he had “hopes and dreams” before toby#ever did. THAT'S ALSO like i had no idea what spinda's pronouns were. i kept trying to figure it out because i talked about him quite a lot‚#but no one in game ever talked about him. to mention his pronouns? turns out. there's ONE line of dialogue where the post office fucker in#shaymin village mentions him and calls him a he. i think that's the only time spinda is referred to in the third person with a pronoun#i believe it's when they're talking about like. how you can send gifts or whatever and pick up the characters' responses at spinda's café#which is still a really fucking good feature. of any video game. SEE WHAT I MEAN spinda and their café is just an incredibly good Thing#it's to the point where my home wifi network is named “Spinda's Café Wi-Fi” because i love it so much. so if you're ever runnin around#and you see a wifi network by that name… it might be me! you never know! or… it could be the real deal. the real spinda's café is somewhere#nearby…! ugh. i wish. i would go there immediately#not even to mention all the other shit about this pokémon that's really good. like that they never walk in straight lines or whatever#their little dance. it's just. huUGHKLJKAHJVDHJHDAJSVGD i love spinda. a nice pick-me-up after the underwhelmingness that was grumpig#shake it this way… shake it that way… and stir it all around… and it's done!

The Medarda Family and the True Goal of Shimmer
Nature has made us intolerant to change, but fortunately, we have the capacity to change our nature. -Singed
For most of s1 the only versions of magic the audience really gets familiar with are visualized through hextech blue and shimmer pink, but we can't trust it to represent what actual magic is like on Runeterra. People from PnZ are incredibly unfamiliar with magic, it was banned for centuries, and they're mostly retracing steps and doing guess work. The best metric to understand how magic works is to look at characters and regions that are actually inclined to magic, and the Medardas may be the best example yet.
When Ambessa accepts the Wolf totem from Lamb one half of dual aspects of death, her body is enveloped in a bright purple transformation before being reforged into a red that resembles the kind her ancestors and the Lamb wear.
It's the same bright purple that consumes Sky in Viktor's last experiment with the hexcore in s1.
I think this purple represents magic at its most malleable state, where it can be refined or change others into final products with a proper catalysts. By s1's final scene, we know that Mel possesses magic and likely uses it through her golden armor. We also know it's possible for magic to be a hereditary trait that can be passed down (not perfectly) through family lines, which is prized in Noxus (and Ixtal?).
So if Mel has magic that likely means the Medardas family in general has latent magic that flows through them naturally., but qhat does this have to do with shimmer or PnZ in general?
The Medardas are relevant to PnZ because Zaun leading minds, Silco and Singed, have spent their capital trying to replicate what the Medardas can do!Shimmer doesn't exist purely as a bioweapon, that's frankly secondary to it's point. Shimmer exists as a means to artificially make the users capable of performing magic, or at least shift the user's biology into something that can tolerate magic. Hextech as a solution to the mystery of maguc completely sidesteps the relationship between magic and the user by using machinery as middleman, while shimmer takes a more direct route.
Singed can't literally biohack nonmagical people into mages all by himself. Singed instead developed what's essentially a hormone therapy to give users temporary magic abilities by synthesizing shimmer from these mysterious plants that resembles the color of the magic within Ambessa before her deal with the Lamb.
Why didn't Singed and Silco just give people the magic purple plants directly if it's capable turning them into mages? Sky and Rio might be the best examples for why you don't do that. When young Viktor feeds Rio the purple plants we see Rio immediately lose vigor, as an audience most of us assumed that was simply Rio's pre-existing condition acting up, but the relationship is more simple. When Singed said Rio was dying, he said it with surety because Singed KNEW the exposure to magic was killing Rio. And Sky was DISINTEGRATED upon being exposed to the hexcore's magic.
In that vein, Singed used Rio as a work around. From what we see non-mage humans absolutely cannot tolerate exposure to even base magic, but Rio was able to last longer. Instead Singed and Silco exposed Zaun to a version of those magic flowers that was broken down by Rio's metabolism into a more version that non-magical humans can tolerate.
The wild thing is that all this effort is to get non-mage users to Ambessa's UNREALISED state, the purple is just the base magic that exists in mages. Even still, Singed seems to have developed the kind of strain of shimmer that's the closest he's ever come to real magic, and Viktor and Jinx used it.
Viktor's own magical transformation has been facilitated by the hexcore in the same way the Lamb facilitated Ambessa's transformation. Do i think Viktor has essentially created his own Aspect through the hexcore? NO.
But in the same way shimmer is facsimilie of magical ability, so too is the hexcore a subsitute for living magic. And by living magic I don't mean unicorns or mermaids, I mean magic that is given consciousness and shape by being tethered to human concepts. And the hexcore's basic purpose is supposed to be magic that thinks and Viktor has tethered it to the human plane with his blood.
This all begs the question about what could exposure to the hexcore do to long term shimmer users? What WILL it do to Jinx? We all know that's inevitable next season.
You see, power, real power doesn't come to those who were born strongest or fastest or smartest. No. It comes to those who will do anything to achieve it. -Silco
Tldr: Shimmer is a large-scale project to turn the population of Zaun into mages, or magically tolerant, by essentially microdosing the population with magic through shimmer.
#arcane#arcane meta#ambessa medarda#mel medarda#singed#viktor arcane#jinx arcane#a lot of the quotes in s1 one seem to really rearing their heads into the narrative#“power doesn't come to those who are born strongest (magical) it comes to those who will do anything to achieve it”#which very easiliy can be applied to Mel as the possibly the strongest natural born mage in pnz vs jinx and viktor#both of whom may end up artificial mages next season#the more you break down shimmer the more absolutely INSANE it comes off#no wonder silco flooded the streets with this stuff atvworst you get an addict at best you get a new pop of MAGES#there are countries in this literal world that would take the risk#cw flashing#tw flashing#cw flashing lights#tw flashing lights#league of legends

So I'm sure all of us who completed the game and had Astarion reject the ascension remember how it went at the end. He runs away from the group to find shelter from the sun. [CUT] That's all there is to it, whether you romanced him or not. I wanted to show you how this scene looks like from Astarion's POV (Astarion Origin Playthrough). And it's heartbreaking to me. I wish that Tav or any of the companions could do something about it. Run to him, comfort him, cast darkness, anything!
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#astarion#astarion ancunin#bg3 spoilers#I'd like to believe that time constraints & budget were in the way...but yeah#Saying 'Oh wow run away from the sun Astarion!' at someone with whom you travelled and been through a lot doesn't sit right with me

hello! i haven't seen anyone on my dash talk about Lebanon yet so i thought i'd bring it up in case there are those who don't know:
as of Sept 24th, more than 500 are killed and hundreds more are injured from airstrikes and bombings (CTV article linked here for further reading).
no doubt more info on how to help will come out (or probably already have) but for starters i've donated to Doctors Without Borders / Medicins Sans Frontieres (Canadian website linked but they're available in other countries as well) and hopefully anyone who is able can donate too.
#uhhhh me#saw someone who is doing a lot of UN work rn talk about how they have heard nary an inkling of lebanon being discussed there#at the freaking UN. like what are we doing here#'maintain global peace and security' where. for whom.#this isn't the most put together post i just feel like i had to do Something#hearing this news constantly on tv while i'm here busying myself with cartoons makes me feel so frustrated#least i can do is get the word out there for anyone who doesn't know#i'm gonna try seeing if my company will do match donation or something of the sort but they kinda sorta ghosted me last time#and also haven't done much charity work recently as far as i can tell#IDK idk i'm gonna try

generally I think the divergence point between Bakura and TKB is that Ryou Bakura dealt with grief via escapism and denying reality whereas TKB doesn't have access to those coping mechanisms because they're not available or they can't withstand the enormity of his grief and so he believes his only option 2 escape his grim reality is to destroy reality outright.
#but its not difficult at all to imagine a tkb who experienced a much lesser tragedy and for whom dnd has already been invented#and is therefore a lot more normal#or weird in a less violent and more bakura-like way

The divine wrath of the stars || "To take a life, one must be given."
#the cat witchs guild#the misc adventures of mochi and lime#tcwg#tmaomal#mochi#art#ocs#original#the stars#ive mentioned this before right??? the thing that activates if a witch breaks her oath of not taking a life??#anyway. Episode ?: For whom the belle tolls#the last battle against the witch king#i think about what it looks like a lot#i dont think any witch has ever seen it#and everyone is pissed off that it activates on mochi of all people#part of me wants her to have a few moments of life so she can have a moment with lime after this happens#but the other more logical part of me thinks this instantly sucks the life out of her and theres no time for goodbyes#her lifeless shell of a body just falls to the ground before anyone can even register what just happened
