Purple Legends

Series that I want to watch:

Elemental Quest (oh yes, all of them, leave me be) and literally whatever else I can find >:3 your recommendations, hand them over.

Update: I watched them >:3

This should probably be my wake up call that I may be slightly obsessed over the funky Minecraft men, but whatever.

It's fine.

The Steve-verse is full of limitless possibilities.

I hate the fact that I have an idea for a storyline that I'm never going to make.

Pain.

Why do I do this to myself you may ask?

i.dont.know.

I just do.

If only I had the motivation to make some funky animations or animatics about the silly goofy traumatized Minecraft men.

Hand your motivation over. Now.

Oh... and another thing... I've watched... many, many Minecraft roleplays in my life... so.many. and let's not talk about the animated series??? Like hello?????? Some of them are just ✨ the urge to make fanart is strong.

But studying for two upcoming tests is stronger TwT

Back to make my brain explode I go.

Really Long poetic via ramble incoming BR LOTB moment 🚨🚨🚨

man Diamond and Balance's dynamic and the way it ties into BR's story is absolutely wild

(many stupid words below the line ❤️❤️❤️)

Diamond faced all those horrors in his own universe, he lost so much—had to kill most of what remained of his species, lost Lapis and Enchant and Bedrock and so many allies (he thought Abe and his own father-figure dead), had to feel the weight of a King's crown on his head—and he went to LotB's universe carrying all of this weight that none of them would find out about until the very last second. Not even Abe.

And he gets there and it's the last days before the final battle, the eye of the storm, silence before slaughter, and he is standing outside the Copper Auditorium with Balance discussing the morals of war and the kill

and Balance is okay with killing because he knows what needs to be done to survive. Balance does not want to kill, but they have to, and Diamond just cannot understand that

Because Balance and Diamond lost so much and both reacted in different ways. Balance became detatched and stony and Diamond became desperate and dependent

And Balance says, "Pain is a teacher, Diamond" and he does not understand, he says the death is necessary and the pain will bring progress and Diamond does not understand because he still retains that craving for peace after everything

and soon enough they are split off into the void, and he is faced with the Infected. And in the Infected he sees Bedrock. His friend. And he refuses to make the kill.

and before he knows it, Diamond wakes up shattered. Cracks and breaks running along his entire body, only the strength of Origin upholding him, and inside awakens the power of a god

But the head of Topaz is still severed laying on the ground next to his sword

And Diamond is still broken.

The kill was necessary and he never made it- Balance was right. Balance was always right.

Diamond's need to resolve his own trauma, to avenge those he lost, caused the death of an innocent soldier and nearly the death of himself. I think a part of him died anyway, so far from himself, cracked, enchanted, color, body, wrong

And when Diamond would go home, there was a hope around that he would remember the events of the second crossover

And he would run to the Relic, what ruined it all

(Abe watching his brother go again, and the Relic explodes, shatters, wrecking the room around it; and they can only hope that Diamond is home safe)

And he is thrown into Enchant's dimension, tears in his clothes, a body having been through terrible torment and a mind with not a single memory of it

Enchant asks for pictures

Every lesson that Diamond learned from Balance, from the war, from the loss- gone in an instant

He doesn't remember how Origin stole it all away.

He doesn't remember how Origin takes and tears away parts of himself, parts of his soul, remolds his mind like clay. Everything Diamond worked to, gone in an instant

And those same mistakes will repeat yet again.

Start planning 2025

Make a list of all the emotions you want to feel at the end of 2025.

Now work backwards and write down all the tasks you need to do in order to feel that way.

Make a separate list of all the “gaps” - what do you currently not have in order to do those tasks to make you feel the way you want?

And lastly, write down how you can fill those gaps. Do you need a gym membership to become fit to feel good about your yourself? Do you need to learn how to cook better meals in order to feel healthy and energised? Do you need to start applying to jobs, in order to secure one, in order to feel financially safe? Do you need to buy an old school alarm clock that’s going to wake up your entire apartment building in order to wake up early? what do you need to DO?

also, make a list of all the things that worked out for you in 2024. Learn to celebrate and appreciate, even the smallest of wins.

For the next two months start the trial and error process of this program. Let’s say you decide that you want to work out 7 days a week in order to feel good about your body. Now halfway through November you realise that 7 days is probably too much, and 5 days would be better for your schedule. Or you decide to read 3 books a week, but realistically, maybe a chapter a day is better.

November and December are your trial months. By the time January starts, be ready with a program that is built for you, works for you, and can be completed by you.

Don’t forget about keeping a reward mechanism. If you complete your daily tasks for 1 month straight, buy that little purse you were eyeing, or take yourself to a spa. Reward yourself in ways you like so that :

a) you’re not in an endless cycle of never being satisfied

b) you don’t drop everything for a man or a friend who shows you the slightest bit of affection because you won’t show it to yourself

c) it encourages you to work harder for yourself.

Something that schools don't teach you but is much needed: how to have a work/life balance that works for you.

As someone who works fulltime and does classes and attempts a social life and hobbies, this gets very hard and stressful. But here are some tips I have for helping:

Learn to say no and not feel guilty. Picking up that extra shift when you had plans? Politely decline. Your friend is begging you to take ANOTHER class when your plate is full so you can have one together? Just be honest and say you can't.

Prioritize your sleep and eating. You can't function well if you don't sleep and eat enough. These are not things you can just push aside and do when you get the time. These are basic things you need to survive. These are literally basic needs. Don't throw them to the side. Your body does its best to take care of you. Make sure you take care of it too.

Have boundaries and be firm with them. If you tell your manager you can only work x, y, and z, don't let them add a or b to it. Respectfully but firmly let them know that you can't take on those things and if they have you do a or b, your work overall is going to majorly decrease in quality. Schedule time for yourself. For studying. For going out. And treat those set aside times just like you would if they were work or school times or appointments. You are the most important part of your life.

Understand that some weeks are going to be absolute hell. You're not going to have enough time. You're going to be exhausted and cry and throw things and want to quit everything. You got this babe. Take breaks and remind yourself how amazing you are and treat yourself after.

Prioritize things and adopt better habits. Wash your dishes right after using them. Get a set bedtime. Get easy breakfast things. Take a walk.

Your friends will understand if you just need time alone. I promise. They love you and don't hate you because you're overwhelmed. I PROMISE. And if they don't, maybe they aren't really your friends.

Not everyone is a friend. Some people are acquaintances. Some people are a 5 minute smoke break at work for your sanity. Some people are drinking buddies. Some people are library study date friends. And that's ok! Not everyone has to be your bestie. And trying to put that much energy into that many people will drain you.

school, extracurriculars and balance

balancing extracurriculars and school activities can be challenging, but with some effective strategies, you can manage both successfully. here are some tips:

☆ create a schedule: use a planner or digital calendar to map out your school assignments, extracurricular activities, and free time. this helps you visualize your commitments and manage your time better.

☆ prioritize tasks: identify which tasks are most important and time-sensitive. focus on completing those first. this can help you stay on top of deadlines and reduce last-minute stress.

☆ set realistic goals: break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable goals. this makes them less overwhelming and easier to tackle.

☆ stay organized: keep your study materials and extracurricular gear organized. knowing where everything is can save you time and reduce stress.

☆ communicate with teachers and coaches: if you’re feeling overwhelmed, talk to your teachers and coaches. they might offer extensions or adjustments to help you manage your workload.

☆ use downtime effectively: make use of short breaks between classes or activities to review notes, read, or complete small tasks. this can help you stay productive without feeling overwhelmed.

☆ practice self-care: ensure you’re getting enough sleep, eating well, and taking time to relax. taking care of your physical and mental health is crucial for maintaining balance.

☆ learn to say no: it’s okay to decline additional responsibilities if you’re already feeling stretched thin. focus on the activities that are most important to you.

☆ seek support: don’t hesitate to ask for help from family, friends, or school counselors. they can provide support and advice on managing your time and stress.

☆ reflect and adjust: regularly review your schedule and commitments. if something isn’t working, be flexible and make adjustments as needed.

balancing school and extracurriculars is all about finding what works best for you and being mindful of your limits. do you have any specific activities you’re trying to balance right now? maybe i can help with some tailored advice,, my ask box and messages are always open!

please do yourself a favor and listen to david tennant malvolio reading the fake love letter to him (act 2 scene 5 of twelfth night). im going to actually start sobbing. oh my GOD

[hurricanek8art]

I had to start trying to explain to my mom (strictly a movie/tv fan) why the Jedi are like this at this point in time, and it finally clicked in my head. The perfect way to explain how they're so rigid and strict and have such huge sticks up their butts at this point in time.

The Jedi of this generation are the result of generational trauma.

(Spoilers for episodes 1 and 2 of The Acolyte, Phase One of the High Republic books, and some barebones setting spoilers of Phase Three under the cut. Also a big wall of text because I never know when to shut up 🙃)

So I'm behind on Phase III of the High Republic books (got a few chapters into The Eye of Darkness when it came out, brain farted out on me on reading ability, haven't gotten back to it yet 🙃😖) but I know enough to know that things are really going bad. The Nihil are rampaging, the Nameless are turning people to stone, the Stormwall has cut off like a third of the galaxy from the rest of it. It's a lot! It's really bad! And we see how it's affecting our heroes. Avar and Elzar are reeling without Stellan. Vern's questioning about how the Jedi are responding to this threat throughout Phase I has led her to become a Wayseeker. Padawans like Bell, Burry and Reath have been elevated to Knighthood a lot sooner than any of them expected to be. All of them are incredibly traumatized.

But that's just the Jedi we've seen. The heroes, the big names. Imagine being a nobody at this time. An extra. A child.

Imagine being a youngling in this era. There are literal nightmares hunting you. People are dying right and left, they're being husked and turned to stone or just plain shot/stabbed/whatever. The outposts are being closed down and everyone's being recalled to Coruscant, and that's the ones who've survived so far. They knocked the Starlight Beacon out of the sky, something that was supposed to be impossible. And less than five years ago, this was a golden age of peace, of light and life and great works that were bringing the galaxy together, a united front. That's horrible, that is terrifying.

We as the readers know it's going to work out, because it has to, because this is a prequel. They don't know that. They're just kids, and the world has suddenly turned upside-down, and the galaxy is big and scary and dark.

So everything works out, the day is saved. But these kids, they have to live with this trauma for the rest of their lives.

And when they grow up, and they train Padawans, those Padawans are going to carry the lessons they learned onwards. There is no lesson a Master can teach in this era that isn't going to carry the grief of the Nihil or the Nameless. There is no lesson any Master will ever teach again, from the moment Loden Greatstorm was captured by Marchion Ro all the way to Luke's temple burning to the ground, that won't somehow, in some way, be touched by this. It haunts everyone, everything. Those lessons are passed on, and on, and on.

Yord Fandar is intense about protocal and following the rules and making sure he's the perfect Jedi, because a hundred years ago maverick Elzar Mann played fast and loose with the rules while he was stationed on Valo, and then the Nihil turned the Republic Fair into a bloodbath. Sol is worried about Osha's (so far) inability to put her grief to the side and remain objective in chasing Mae because Imri Cantaros lost control and nearly murdered the Nihil who caused the death of his master during the Great Disaster. Vernestra Rwoh is refusing to charge into this without talking it over with the Council because she remembers what happened when she kept information from them a hundred years ago.

These aren't isolated incidents because they happened to the heroes, every Jedi of that era has some story like this, where the lines blurred in the fog of war and they made or nearly made horrible mistakes out of fear. And now, every Jedi is going to want to rise above that. To not make those mistakes, because that past is past. It's peaceful again. They're better now. But that trauma's lurking under the surface, just like the Sith. The Nihil won't win, but the Order isn't going to, either. Because what the Nihil did changed them, permanently.

The plot of the High Republic books is supposedly unrelated to the show, because it's a hundred years later. But the plot of the High Republic books explains everything about the Jedi in this era of the galaxy. They're carrying the trauma and grief of an entire generation that was brutalized unlike anything the Order had ever seen before.

And the Sith have watched, and waited, as that trauma has become so internalized, so central to what the Jedi are. The Jedi might not even realize that's what's happened to them. But the Sith see it.

And now it's finally time to begin the grand plan.

Traits I’ve Noticed in Confident People 

Disciplined - if a target is set, it is achieved 

Speaking - Can speak multiple languages. Can express thoughts clearly even if vocabulary is limited. The listener understands their point. 

Strong extroversion socially - can approach and talk to new people with ease, but also make them feel comfortable. Good at following up, asking questions and inserting little stories about themselves without exposing too much 

Strong general knowledge / industry knowledge. They know what they’re talking about 

Hard to please but not arrogant about it. They won’t readily accept a fact or opinion, even if the majority agrees - they’ll debate with it, think over it, play the devil’s advocate

Good posture

Strong set of principles and self control. There’s no shame in wanting to say, help someone, choose not to drink socially, buy a coffee for a poor person on the street; they don’t hesitate to do good deeds 

Hygienic. Clean, groomed, well dressed, well maintained. 

Observant and proactive at the same time. Can pick up on body language relatively easily - can sense discomfort or unease in someone and do something about it. 

Have a strong sense of self identity. Can be opinionated but open to challenges.
