oh my fucking god i feel. SO stupid rn at How i didnt make the (super sane very normal just absolutely. Yes. Surely) connection earlier but uhh

so anyway im now like 89% certain that whatever the "traces" of the narwhal that remain on ajax and facilitate their (ever-growing) innate connection are like. an actually fundamental aspect of it (them?) more or less.

why? because if you consider its pov just for a moment. the narwhal was literally about to depart teyvat for good. it had nearly finished consuming the primordial sea and preparing to breach surface to finish the job by eating the french for the leftovers their human bodies were made from. its an interstellar voyager it does not linger on planets it devours. it goes glug glug and it leaves.

and like if it wasnt for traveler intervening its confirmed through narzissenkreuz and renes world formula that teyvat wouldve just been destroyed. no one could have stopped the narwhal not neuvillette not focalors not anyone.

so what was the one other thing it did right before going for that french brunch? calling for ajax. getting them reunited in the primordial sea. like all the possible implications aside bc theres many different ways to speculate on the exact reasons why and the nature of that link. the point remains.

it wasnt leaving teyvat without finding him.

like the narwhal is about to fucking Dip from this cringe planet and whatever part of it that ajax carries within himself his narwhal Absolutely wanted to be reunited with. what the fuck am i supposed to read from that. hoyo???????!??! answers?!?!?!

and its not only the calling from the narwhal side itself either bc this is ALL coinciding with the growth of a 'restless power' within ajax and his vision malfunctioning (the things celestia is literally confirmed to harvest energy thru to repair its damaged authority) and his connection with the narwhal reaching an actual conscious level (arguably subconscious n emotional too bc i find it Curious his mood is poor right as the narwhal is repeatedly described as positively malding to the point its boss fight mechanic is literally a rage meter). ajax' power is growing. his destiny is starting to shift and something is drawing him to fontaine... right as the narwhal is getting close to finished with the primordial sea. funny how it overlaps eh. how it aligns 🤨🤨 why are they orbiting each other like this (they should kiss)

(& not to even Mention how ajax just Happened to get that absolutely exponential and borderline unbelievable feat of power spike in extending his foul legacy endurance as massively as he did. while. within the primordial sea. with his narwhal. who had at that point all but incorporated the power of that sea into itself. i s2g if childe was getting passive home turf co-op bonus exp with a 4x multiplier automatically the whole 40+ days 💀💀)

vwoop gijinkas . in this world

design notes. these are mostly about hairstyles because this is the thing that they usually do not have

vwoop:

- wears a skirt! it likes skirts. regular vwoop really wants to wear a skirt

- would have worn its hair like proto when it was small. two braids is much easier to do. as well as the whole individuality thing. it isn't super neat about it, it does not take it very long to look a bit scruffy.

- un-diagetically a) Symmetry is important to be vwoopcore and b) bizarre association with twin braids as juvenile / innocent / pure little girl.

- tbh one day i just put my hair up like that to dry and was like Hmm. cVwoop wears its hair like this. all vwoop derivatives actually all wear braids bc it is the only way i bother to do my hair and they all began as the Vwoop Sona so :)

- also, Seren (vwoop sibling) wears their hair as a side braid, but not like in a normal way but that he's grown out one side like if you were to put your hair up in two braids . and cut the other side. this is not really factored in here (he is not shown) but together they would look nearly similar

- the outfit is exactly the same as usual cvwoop but i am not sure if i have given proper explanation; its cape is deeply unfancy and kind of just like a sheet. it made it itself. skull for the bone motif + finch :]. it wore a cape because Seren wore a cape (he wears a different style now but when i made them it was ripped directly from the skin), and now wears a cape bc all its friends wear capes . capes are cool. they remind em of people they like. It wears the exact same style of sweater as it was given when it was small, but it's remade them as ey got bigger / needed to repair it / etc.

- vwoop would wear combat boots to me. on account of the bias

proto:

- same deal w/ default outfit. wears a different sweater with an otherside disc on it. nothing interesting there i did not draw it

- fancy braided buns. most like The Vwoop Shape . it's like half up. They also looks very Cute (tm) on purpose. it's a fair bit of effort to get right. seren would have had to do it for them a lot.

- they don't do too much fighting or being active. they don't mind keeping their hair down about it, or having such delicate parts of their style :].

- also they have bangs. unimportant

RC:

- most different outfit. does not wear a sweater but a varsity jacket + a t-shirt (a modified blood symbol from h*mestuck, most of the time. made it itself to match w qpopcorn). also the witch hat

- scruffiest hair. tied back in a braid to keep out of the way. both changing into a more flexible jacket + an out of the way hairstyle r for movement. ey are a sweat. and also just don't like bothering with fussing over too much.

- they wear shorts + running shoes also!

+ an old cvwoop doodle bc i can't think of anything else

I stayed up all night reading dps fanfics. I'm not okay

[ahoohahoohahooha]

asmr but it’s just me looking for the right lego piece that somehow went missing

[transingthoseformers]

Wrote down a little bullshitted up lineage of primes thing as a treat, and I threw in a few of primes for a gap in between Prime Nova and Nova Prime, the latter is in my list as "Nova Prime 2: electric boogaloo" which is hilarious.

The oc primes:

Prime Proxima, Prime Plerion, Caerulus Prime, Cepheidis Prime, Asterism Prime, Luminus Prime, and Theta prime

I don’t think they film debriefs that fast (i.e. the bulk of the discussion was Tuesday) but it is so unbelievably funny that they ended up addressing the demons. The universe works in funny ways.

oh no they almost definitely shot it on friday lmaoo but literally i love that they must have gotten wind that the demons were lurking.

expanding on this post, where you kiss gojo and he starts floating

gojo satoru x gn!reader

you’re greeted with the light of dawn streaming in, and the tickle of white tufts of hair against your chin. satoru’s body is curled close, one of his arms and his legs thrown over you.

it’s not the first time you’ve stayed overnight in gojo’s dorm room, but this is your first time staying over now that you’re a couple. it had been like any other night, but more meaningful touches and a shared buzz of warmth in your chests. and you had fallen asleep in his bed, entangled with his coziness.

but it’s morning now, and you know you should probably leave before yaga finds out you’re not in your own dorm. so somehow, you manage to wring yourself free from satoru’s grasp, even though he mumbles sleepily in complaint.

you can’t help but scoff fondly, peering down at him. his hands feel around in the space you had just been, a groan resonating from his chest as he blearily squints.

a small laugh creeps out of you then, “g’morning, ‘toru.” you bend down to brush your lips against his fleetingly, “i’ll see you in class later.”

when you leave his dorm and hear a soft ‘thud’, you think nothing of it. but it’s only a few steps down the hallway that you realize that you left your uniform jacket hanging on the edge of satoru’s bed.

so you head back, knocking twice on the door to let him know about your presence before opening it.

only to see that your boyfriend that you had left on the bed just moments ago was no where to be seen.

your brows furrow. “satoru? where are you?”

“up here, darling.”

and then your gaze flits up, up, up, just above the mattress. it’s gojo, on the ceiling, looking disheveled with his bed hair a mess, a sheepish grin on his lips.

“uhh, satoru?” you approach the bed, no longer concerned about your jacket as you stare up at him. “what’re you doing up there?”

he blinks down at you. “i woke up.”

you snort. “get down.”

“…i can’t.”

there’s a pause of silence, a period of staring at each other. you’re even more confused. “what do you mean you can’t?”

“i just can’t!”

it’s too early for this, and you’re sure that your chance of being discovered by yaga has shot up by a considerable amount.

“gojo satoru. just deactivate your technique.”

he pouts down at you. “you don’t think i tried that? i don’t know what happened, okay? i woke up from head-butting the ceiling, and even worse, to you gone without a word!”

it’s funny, how he’s much more upset about the fact that you had left him in bed alone rather than the fact that he’s stuck up there.

and it’s also really funny that he was sleepy enough that he didn’t remember you kissing him farewell not even five minutes ago.

“‘toru,” you laugh, shaking your head, “i said good morning and i kissed you.”

aaand now he remembers. he blinks once, twice.

“oh.”

and this time, you burst into a fit of giggles, to which gojo dopily grins down at you — happy that he’s the cause of it, even if it’s because he’s a little silly.

“i can’t believe you still floated even with you still half asleep.” you say, inching even closer to the bed and tilting your head further back to look up at him. “can you seriously not come back down?”

usually after he gets kissed, you or someone else is there to ground him before he floats off, and if not, he regains his composure soon after.

satoru’s pout deepens, fumbling and adjusting his awkward position on the ceiling. “nope.”

with a groan, you toe off your shoes and move to stand on the bed, hands grasping at his shirt and tugging in an attempt to bring him down.

“ugh, come on.”

you try with his hands next, and he’s all too eager to twine your fingers together as you tug on them too. he still isn’t budging.

“babe..” he starts, and you hear his cheeky grin before you see it, “think you needa kiss me again.”

you give him a pointed look. “and why in the world would that work?”

“c’mon, trust me,” satoru pries with a slight whine, “you did this, maybe you can undo it.”

you blink at him incredulously. “i did this? it’s not my fault you turn into a balloon every time i-” you shake your head when he does nothing but stare pleadingly. “fine, fine.”

you lean up on wobbly toes to give him the second kiss of this morning. it’s short but sweet all the same, and gojo chases after your lips as you pull away.

“see, i told you it wouldn-”

satoru yelps and crashes down on top of you, the two of you landing smack down on the bed.

you groan, trapped underneath his weight. at least you know now to be extra careful with your kisses. you can feel him nosing at the underside of your jaw teasingly.

“heh, good morning to you too, sweetheart.”

She makes very interesting points. Language is a very powerful tool for influence and we should better equip ourselves to decipher manipulation attempts, and to recognize the intent behind the words used, because that will tell you just as much about a situation, as the actual words will.

But I can't agree with the journalists bashing. Because while I do agree that some journalists are bad and some are maybe getting manipulated or not seeing (and so presenting) the real situation, the work journalists do is very important. They are just as much a part of the truth as the people on the ground. It’s just that you have to be aware that you shouldn’t trust them blindly. You should never trust anyone blindly, because no one has the whole story.

Even people on the ground.

Of course it’s very important to listen to them to know what’s happening. What it’s like. How Israel is treating them. But they don’t have the whole story, just like you don’t have the whole story of your life. You make assumptions and sometimes those assumptions are wrong. Again, I’m not saying dismiss what people on the ground are saying. I’m saying listen to everybody and compare notes. Compare what the people on the ground are saying to what the journalists are saying to what the politicians are saying to what your moral values and compass are telling you is right and acceptable. And then you’ll have your truth (but it will still not be The Truth, although this is getting philosophical).

What she says about Palestinians being hostages is very interesting too, but I don’t take issue with the word prison like she does. I’ve never seen it as "they are there so they must have done something wrong". I’ve always seen it has "prison is a place were you are denied most of your rights (most of all your right for freedom) and this is the situation they are in". And because I know they are here because of the people they were born into, and not for anything they ever did, I can tell it's unjust. So the term has never presented the Palestinians in a negative way to me. Rather, it's presented the Israeli state as an abusive state that doesn't respect the right to freedom and free ownership of their land of the Palestinian people. (But I can understand that to someone completely uneducated about the situation, "prison" could present the Palestinian negatively.)

Finally, the last thing I take issue with is "when they start writing this, that's because they want you to disconnect". I feel like this is akin to the academic bashing that we've seen in recent years. Because hiding from the complexities of a situation can never be the answer. The issue is not that media going into specifics will make people turn off their brain. The issue is that we don't go into specifics enough, as individuals. The issue is that we turn off our brains in the first place. Expecting media to just give you simplified, ready to consume "truths" will not help us prevent this from happening again. Going into the specifics, and understanding Israel's history, and the history of the Jewish people, and why the state of Israel says to have claims on Palestine is how we can identify the warning bells in future similar situations to prevent history from repeating itself. So next time the media goes into specifics, don't just assume they are trying to send you to sleep. Turn your brain on, dig in, think, and research using varied sources.
