people entering fwb relationships with the hope of it turning into a romantic relationship and then getting mad at their fwb for not reciprocating when thats literally not the relationship that was established is so crazy to me. like that’s literally not their fault. and i do not understand why culturally people generally side w the person who entered the relationship Knowing its not what they wanted and Expecting the other person to change like i really dont get it. but what do i know

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

the goverment is definitely figuring out this alien situation asap right?? cause whats happening currently is not feasible in the long run is it not??

im sure they are trying to maybe figure it out...probably, but part of me feels like it is not being treated with the seriousness it should be by them, which ig is in character LOL

pretty much relying on one guy (who doesnt even wanna be doing this) is actually scary

and the mc still has to like 'encourage' him to do it, tho its much easier in the 'ray ending' for sure. that man just wants to live a regular life with mc (unfortunately for him that means continuing to be binary star and dealing with aliens)

and if i was a citizen and knew this id be panicking

like yea u have these other heroes helping and stuff which im sure looks comforting from an outside point of view! but like the actuality is that its ray keeping things afloat

AND ON THE TOPIC OF THE MC, i was definitely in my head like....wouldnt rays superiors (managers??) get like curious about them? like no way theyre not being nosy about it after a certain amount of time passes. it really feels like something that could be leveraged against him,,, (if there is fic about this pls send it to me lol)

honestly i feel like mc and rays relationship would have moments of high stress. like there will be good times but also the bad times will also be there and its sometimes gonna be because of outside factors they cant control

Do you remember how the daughters are all afraid of spiders? Yes, Cass is the loudest and all but both Bela and Daniela are also scared of them too.

Do you know where they get it from? They get this from their mama, Lady D herself. It's both an inherited fear and a learned behavior and it's irrational but it is what it is.

He knows something’s going on and frankly, he wants out despite not being apart of it at all. Zeus… however….. uh.

Bald is doing an interview. It’s having fun.

I think an important thing to remember going into this season is all these characters are in a stage of growth.

And not just narratively, but psychologically.

All the main stories people have been fighting about center around characters between the ages of 19 and 22, we do a lot of growth as people during this time.

Eloise befriending someon she previously disliked? Her both wanting to lash out at her former friend but also no wanting her actually hurt by not outing Whistledown? I expected something like this.

Penelope putting on this new mask to make herself seem different despite not really being changing? Making mistakes as we keep getting hints at? Yeah. Not surprising for a 19 year old.

Colin also seemingly forcing himself to be something hes not? Struggling with his feelings, with his words? I'm not shocked.

They've been saying it in interviews, a theme this season is growth, but we as the audience need to give them the chance to grow. And a lot of people seem unwilling to do that.

imagine the weird timeline where the prequels somehow came out first and then it took decades for the original triolgy to come out and instead of the massive mando fandom theres a vast amount of extra canon materials on kaleesh instead

okay small complaint though the whole “tumblr’s not a dating app” “if you’re coming on here to find people to date or fuck just leave” etc. stuff does kind of annoy me not because people aren’t allowed to have boundaries but because they’re trying to enforce them on others, and specifically in context of the tumblr kink scene it feels particularly out of touch considering how kink scenes are kind of…literally for that? Obviously not the whole point of a kink community, there’s education and community and socialization and freedom and all sorts of reasons, but you cannot deny the aspect of like-minded kinky deviants coming together to find other kinky deviants. Like….for a community where sex and sexuality is such an integral and important of our lives, where we can’t really expect the general population to want to date us or accept those parts of ourselves, finding a community like this where we can be our Entire selves and seek others who will love us not just in spite of that self, but Because of that self, it seems really really strange to try and eliminate such an important aspect of the kink community for everyone around you. People are allowed to not want to engage with the kink community like that and lord knows there are plenty of people that do need to told that people in the kink community aren’t just attainable sex objects for them to aspire to play with. But to pretend finding like-minded kinky individuals to get closer with is something completely alien to a kink community is just incredibly bizarre to me and almost feels like a sanitation of the kink community experience.

Do I take the risk of ordering groceries delivered after what happened last time, keeping in mind that I paid a not insignificant amount of money for a membership to this grocery store specifically for the benefit of having groceries delivered, or do I put on pants and shoes and pull my hair up and find a jacket and get out my cart and drag myself all the way over to the grocery store, where I will be tired and hungry and probably buy a ton of random crap I don't need just because it's there

My paired down list of spirit work and death magic. (Obviously this is what works for me and I'm kind of a picky person when I aquire written work)

Physical Media:

Cunning Words: A Grimoire of Tales and Magic by Marshall WSL (This one I pre-ordered and haven't gotten through the whole text but it's a good read. It incorporates the art of story telling with distinct spells and magic. I think it's very unique but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want something with flavor)

Riding the Bones by the three little sisters (this one is an anthology of particular practices from different walks of life pertaining to death and transition. I've only read a few of the stories but for what it's worth I think its good insight)

Botanical Curses and Poisons by Fez Inkwright (I only list this because it's always good to know what's good and bad for you. Know what can kill you and you can probably avoid it)

The Bones Fall in A Spiral by Mortellus (again I've mentioned this before but I think this is a good work for someone getting into the field and needs someone that's direct and experienced in what they do. One of my favorites.

Consorting with Spirits by Jason Miller (I feel like this is a staple of the craft and while I personally don't connect with the material it works and it has some good points)

Metamorphosis by Ovid (I think it's always necessary to deal with primary texts. Go with the classics. Ovid has a beautiful way of writing and you get to really understand the stories and myths that spirits of the dead living etc are connected to and if you do any deity work I highly recommend it.)

Of Blood and Bone by Kate Freuler (I have mixed views on this one. some of the stuff is informative and it provides some good spells, but it lacks transparency and depth. I find Mortellus book far more student minded.)

The complete language of flowers by S. Theresa Dietz (if you work with the dead, deities, spirits or hey plant spirits. Chances are you've come across Victorian flower language. I use this book as a reference guide for symbolism/folklore/ and as a way to connecting with spirits)

Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes (hey no library is complete without an encyclopedia. I personally like this one because it's very indepth without being too overwhelming. Not sure where to go? Just pick up this book and you can do more indepth research later. It's what it's there for. Reference guides are one of my favorites.)

Okay that's it for my physical media.

I also have a list of digital copies I keep.

Morbid Magic by Tomàs Prower (I think if you buy any book from this collection buy this one. It gives you an over all guide of most death practices around the world)

Historical:

Death, Dissection and the Destitute by Ruth Richardson

The Work of the Dead by Thomas W. Laqueur.

(I list these because they are a good source guide to how we treated the dead and spirits in the past. It's always important we learn from those that came before us.)

Greek Customs: (if you're going to do any type of work with Greek chthonic deities I suggest these three articles/books. I'm not saying its mandatory but these are very helpful guides to understanding ancient thought and how to bring them into today.)

Burial Customs, The Afterlife and the Pollution of Death in ancient Greece by Francois Pieter Retief and Louise Cilliers (free on research gate)

Underworld Gods in Ancient Greek Religion Death and Reciprocity by Ellie Mackin Roberts

Inner Purity and Pollution in Greek Religion Volume 1 by Andrej Petrovic and Ivana Petrovic (this one's my personal favorite)

I don't like the dmc anime, but despite that I think its stupid to bully people that like it and people that worked on it. Many game fans got it gripes and thats valid the anime certainly isn't the best adaptation but being mean to new fans is not it and being mean because they lack knowledge aint it. HOWEVER reverse can be said too, being mean on games fan criticizing (when it isn't overtly racist, those damn frieren images ain't helping) and dismissing the original games story and themes, and people being rightfully annoyed or disappointed. Both here on Tumblr and on Twitters its a mess but I see both, game fans hating and newer fans dismissing game fans criticisms, its honestly awful.

look here are my thoughts on the anime, spoiler ahead

its just not what I want in DMC, I see what the anime is trying to do but its really not what I look for in DMC. What I look for in DMC isnt political commentary or even worldbuilding its the family shenanigans and the characters. I want to see Dante, Lady and Vergil interact and when they do in the anime its great, I like seeing Dante interact with other people and I greatly enjoyed when the anime have Dante interact with lady and Enzo. But I could not care for its political commentary, its simply not what I want in DMC, nor do I care for science-ing every piece of magic. I would describe DMC as a family soap opera with a fantasy backdrop with stylish fighting and quips and the anime does not do that for me. I would say the main difference on the anime and games is that in the games its the characters driving the plot for the most part but the anime is the plot driving the characters.

What made DMC 3 great is that the all the character and the plot are deeply woven together. Like its not some guy that opens the hellgate and the characters are responding to that. It was lady's father who was obsessed with demons and Sparda that manipulated everyone to open the gate and is meant to reflect our duotagonist Dante and Vergil and their daddy issues with Sparda. Like people say DMC doesn't have a good story and that's wrong, sure its not complex nor does it challenge their audiences political views but nots what DMC is trying to do. Its trying to make a good story about family and specifically the Sparda family and have compelling characters which is what the anime doesn't do. And is why many fans have gripes, but the anime is still entertaining in a vacuum and it has its warrant to exist but I think new fans should not only have the anime as its main source for DMC as its not a good representation of DMC.

The anime is good but its fundamentally a flawed adaptation that doesn't understand why the fans like the games and its story. Obviously this doesn't apply to every fan, as some fans only really care for the fighting part, but I can say many fans can sense something being off with the anime. And it completely warranted to critic that, while allowing news fans to enjoy it and same could be said with Castlevania.

fumi i hope you know that in an extra of how laios' party is formed he is explicitly banned from getting a crush on marcille.

like i know you went in depth on the trauma he has because of humans on your laimar post about the succubus but please know that he was explicitly banned its so goddamn funny.

im crying laughing while typing this out happy laimar love loses 🥂

Lmao yeah 🥂

It’s a very fun comic! The marriage seeker mystery can finally be put to rest 😌 I don’t really think it changes much, that it overrides anything we knew or that I theorized, esp since we already knew about the party-wide romance ban, but the meme potential (and fic potential) IS so strong now that we know Laios was the one most targeted and distrusted of all… And trust was the biggest issue, romance brings nothing but trouble in their minds but the trouble they experienced with the marriage seeker was because she was disingenuous and manipulative and Laios was oblivious, and as time went on the party realized that Marcille was trustworthy and they stopped worrying about that particular scenario happening. It can def bring a new meaning to the "This is my succubus?!! No one can see it no one can know AAAAA" line though lmfaoo. It’s so funny and honestly such a win for aroace Laios
