(ch366 spoilers) ok but seriously, i have some thoughts on this that are maybe too long to put in one go but essentially, I don't think Iruma will take up Mephisto's offer on the basis of him being the "king-maker", rather I think he would ask for his guidance more like as a teacher. Especially since Sullivan has already told Iruma becoming the demon king is only one path he has of many, and Iruma himself saying he's still a student when Mephisto originally (jokingly) named him king of the Many-Ears. Plus him being a teacher now and always admiring the teachers of Babyls.

(Although personally I think school + action shounen that results in the MC becoming a techer is hit or miss. Like Assassination Classroom made sense because the whole point was the teachers and students' relationship to each other not the killing. And how people are kinda hating on MHA's ending for yoinking Deku's power [idk that's what I heard] and making him a teacher even though personally I think the ending makes sense from a pure narrative structure perspective though it perhaps doesn't have the same context that makes it satisfying since AssClass was a very small enclosed world centered around the school and MHA did not, afaik. Anyway, I think it would work with Iruma, and I could definitely see him being both a teacher and demon king--it's very greedy but it fits M!IK's themes perfectly)

on the other hand, Mephisto's declaration is basically saying he has chosen who he supports as the next demon king, so regardless of what Iruma decides, Baal will absolutely not overlook it. Obviously, because he has gotten Princess Shura's support seemingly to become king himself, but what if Iruma becoming king will help his goal to (as it seems) extract Delkira's power? Ali only gets stronger as Iruma's rank goes up, so who knows what will happen if he passes Scala here. Maybe Delkira's power will manifest enough for Baal's goals. And now that I think about it, does Iruma even know Baal is trying to kidnap/use him? If Baal ends up showing his support for Iruma and Iruma doesn't realize his malicious intent...

I love Wonder Woman very much and I love her potential to explore themes of truth’s different meanings and violence against women and what it means for trauma to be passed on or processed in different circumstances but unfortunately all this potential is snubbed by her support of the military vis a vis her solider boyfriend and her origins as a character designed to encourage women to join the war effort. I think if you wanted to give her story real impact and meaning this would have to be completely removed and as such I long for a universe where Etta and the Holliday Girls are an internationally touring band and Steve is their loser friend who manages the finance and Diana follows them all around as the friend who can’t hold an apartment

potentially batshit headcanon, but i think it'd be funny if these two were related somehow.

I'm in awe of Louis Tomlinson❤️

Louis was so authentic yesterday, i mean, he could've changed the setlist, or his outfits, or his hair, and so many more things for 100k mostly(expected) mainstream people, but BUT this boy did everything the way he did on tour

Why?( I think)Because louis learnd the really really hard way that you only gain fans, so called forever fans, if you show them the most true side of yourself that you can,You sing the Songs that you like,you go on stage in your beloved outfits,you feel the emotion in the crowd and give it back, you make random things and don't try to be funny

I'm so excited to see what this year has in store for louis, his way with us is so pure and i only hope more people see him in the way he has to be seen(there is an explicit way to love louis)

My heart his so full at the moment and its not only pride,its like this right here is our history moment, the moment louis will experience and create something so much bigger than he ever dreamed of

He doesn't know me, i know that, but i will forever pay and pray for him, because that boy was so

ACL 2023 (QT)

Attending ACL with thousands of others this weekend, my expectations were pleasantly exceeded. A certain clarity was achieved this year, one that I failed to understand the previous two years. Going with people you love can create a kind of love that defies all definitions. The combination of wonderful music stimulating all parts of our brains, the acceptance, the love, the diverseness, the passion, all creates a combination of a good time for any and all. Music does a magical thing to the brain, proving that jam packing a weekend with hundreds of bands and local businesses can create a sense of community. When we put our differences aside and share the passion of a cross-culture experience we show the true essence of the social creatures we are. Connecting this with my personal growth in understanding music as well as living in the moment is an experience that brings tears to my eyes, and an experience I think everyone should reach for. Even if not in the sense of music, I take away from this festival that the best way to seek a content state of mind is to try to live in the moment, and appreciate the natural beauty in life. To have a moment where nothing in the past or future matters is one I describe as true happiness.

Sometimes, when I listen to a particularly good song, I can envision a scene and the emotions brought with it, and it makes me sad that my art and animation skills aren’t good enough yet to depict it to others the way I see it

How Home Decor enhance our confidence and peace level: lets find this phenomenon

Of course! The fascinating trend of enhancing confidence and peace of mind through home décor is a fascinating relationship between psychological well-being, creativity, and personal expression.

Now, let's explore the fascinating world of home décor and how much it affects our inner peace and self-assurance.

Imagine this: Entering the room, you find that it's more than simply four walls—it's a blank canvas ready for your unique touch. Comfort, style, and confidence come together in your house, which is an extension of who you are. It seems sense that the hues, patterns, and layouts we are surrounded by have a big impact on our well-being, productivity, and mood.

Let's start by solving the puzzle of how home décor might boost our self-esteem. 

Have you ever noticed how entering a space with thoughtful design gives you the impression that everything is under control? 

It's similar to how wearing your best dress makes you feel unstoppable, except, in this instance, the empowering thing is happening in your environment.

Picture bright colors covering your walls, expressing your courage and joie de vivre. Or maybe sleek, contemporary furniture that radiates success and sophistication. 

Your house turns into a stage, and every item of furniture serves as a supporting cast member to help you feel more confident. 

It's like having that inspirational quote beautifully displayed on the wall or your comfortable recliner acting as your very own personal cheerleader, pushing you to reach your greatest potential.

Being confident involves more than simply swagger; it also involves inner peace. And this is when home décor's true enchantment comes to life. 

Your home can become a peaceful haven thanks to the furniture placement, the plush carpets underfoot, and the mood lighting.

Consider this: a location devoid of clutter, where everything has a place, can also help you clear your thoughts. 

A well-designed home fosters an unsaid harmony that frees your mind from the constraints of disorder. 

It serves as a focused diversion from the craziness of the outside world, similar to yoga for the soul.

Furthermore, customization is essential to creating this peaceful sanctuary.

 Your individual interests and life experiences are reflected in your home design, which is more than just the latest fashions. 

Every wall photo and memento you've collected throughout the years whispers a cozy, comforting story. 

It's a carefully chosen archive of dreams and recollections that uplifts your soul and gives comfort when life throws you a curveball.

Not to be overlooked are the peculiar accents that give your décor a dash of comedy. 

A clever doormat or a comical work of art might make you feel better right away.

 Laughter, after all, is the best medicine—even if it takes the shape of an amusing wall painting or a funny throw pillow.

Moreover, the mutually beneficial connection between self-assurance and tranquility in our living spaces goes beyond simple design. 

Research indicates that a neatly arranged and furnished area helps lower tension and anxiety levels, enabling one to project a more assured and collected image of oneself.

Essentially, the phenomenon of how our sense of calm and confidence is influenced by home decor is a complex dance of emotions and aesthetics. 

It's about accepting our uniqueness, surrounding ourselves with things that speak to our souls, and designing an environment that not only reflects who we are but also gives us the confidence to become who we want to be.

Thus, keep in mind that you're creating a sanctuary that embraces your individuality and strengthens your inner power the next time you rearrange your furniture or paint a wall a bright hue.

 Let's toast to the wonders of home décor—the subtle but effective trigger that lifts our spirits and gives us confidence!
