#don't read too much into it

When I got asked this, this was my alternative answer since I stumbled upon the outfit when looking for references. I was just too lazy to draw both outfits at the time. But, now I'm being slapped with drawing motivation

"You Can't Kill Us" (You Can't Kill Us) || Icon for Hire

[skzoologist]

For instance, it only appears for a few sentences (their meaning explained if needed), otherwise the fic is english. I'm just curious (once again).

And no, I don't exactly mean the more known languages, I mean the more obscure ones.

this is a category 5 poop moment

[oidheadh-con-culainn]

there's this weird phenomenon that happens in academia and some arts careers and stuff where people who are in them seem very reluctant to give advice to people outside them or how to get there, and this is read as elitism and not wanting to help others, but actually 90% of the time it's the people inside being so fucking burned out and disillusioned by their careers that they don't feel they can responsibly give other people advice on how to sell their souls. but they also know if they say "don't do it, it'll suck", the people they're talking to won't listen, because they were once that person, and people told them, and they didn't listen. so they just don't say anything. and they grimly witness other people jumping through the same hoops they jumped through, or trying to, and they feel they cannot in good conscience help drag the hoops down to ground level because when you get through them, the other side is worse. but. this is not how it looks from the outside

and i’ll never beat her ‘cos i know that the peace she promises you is sweeter than anything i’ll ever give,  just a sweet word repeater just hoping if i’m positive enough, i’ll defeat her  and i’m competing for attention i’m trying to ignore the tension and every time i even mention intentions of our reinvention she’s showing up to co-sign my bad decisions i hope you listen ‘cos i

The different religions are the variations of shippers

I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but in my head, it makes a lot of sense. Sorry it's so long, and for the bad english, it's not my first, or second, language

I'M NOT SAYING THAT ALL PEOPLE WHO PRACTISE THESE RELIGIONS ARE LIKE THIS OR SHIP THESE SHIPS, IT'S JUST FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Christianity (both catolicism and orthodoxy) - the people who ship the straight canon ship of the series. On every type of platform, you can find at least one person who roots for them and actively supports and defends it. Most of these types of people are very offended when someone doesn't ship it and starts to A. Start defending its honore stating that since it's canon, it's the only valid ship. Or B. Threaten the person who doesn't ship it. Anyone who has something bad to say about this ship is deemed a hater and is ostracized from the community. Because the ship has a lot of shippers, some interpret the ship in other ways, which creates tension inside the community, so generally, there are two sides of the ship, with different fancanons and interpretations.

Muslimness- people who ship the "problematic" ship. The ship isn't actually problematic and can be very wholesome if you look at the actual story, but someone at some point did something problematic with these characters or was just a very vocal shipper who did something bad (like that comic of Childe and Ganyu) and now every person who even barely supports it is deemed problematical and a bad person. Receive unreserved hate and are attacked a lot for something they didn't do.

Buddhism ( I don't know a lot about buddhism, so I'm sorry if I get it wrong)- people who ship the side pairing. They are just along for the ride, and even though they don't get as much screen time and attention from the fan base, as the main ship. They just enjoy it as it is, creat fanart and other things in peace, and generally don't get in a lot of debates even when people attack them.

Paganism - the multi-shippers. They don't understand the need for ship wars and drama surrounding one ship becoming canon while another doesn't. In both scenarios, a ship they like gets attention, so a win-win situation. Some do have OTPs and are even happier when they become canon or get attention, but aren't super sad if they don't. Over all they just enjoy creating fan art , but sometimes someone will start attacking them for "betraying" one ship for another and accusing them of all sorts of things, like liking pro-ships or other problematic ships. In some cases, it may be true, but generally, it's total bullsh*t.

Atheists - people who don't ship. They either don't get the need for romance or just don't see the appeal in it. They may get attacked for this, but they honestly couldn't care less for ships. Some are very rude and say stuff to people who do support ships, canon or not, that it's pointless and disgusting to ship fictional characters and a lot of other mean stuff.

Old religions/small religions - people who ship the rare pairs. Not a lot of content, but they appreciate every piece. Some ships are more popular than others, of course, but are generally pretty obscure with a lot of fanon interpretations to make up for the lack of it in canon. Some of the more popular ships will try to erase any content the ship does have or twist it to make it problematic, platonic, or centred around their ship.

Not sure for the other religions or types of shippers, if you have any thoughts or corrections please say them without insults.

This post came by when I was explaining what being a pagan means to a frien, and I used being a multi-shipper as a comparison, and it spiralled from there.

Yes, I am pagan, but I was raised as an orthodoxy christian, so I'm sorry if I got anything wrong for the other religions.

[extraterracetrial]

Personally I think Ody already knew Eury opened the wind bag, initially bc there's just something about his tone and the way Ody cut him off in the beginning of Puppeteer that felt... deliberate? But it's also mirrored in Scylla and Mutiny

It's just a little thing in Scylla but when Eury first tries to confess in Puppeteer Ody gives him a task instead "go check out the island" vs "light up six torches" instead of talking about it, like he's avoiding it

But more prominently is "whatever you have to say can wait some more of this I'm sure" sounds to me like "don't tell me. If you don't tell me we can pretend I don't know and I don't have to do anything about it. Lie to me (by omission)" vs Eury's "tell me you did not know that would happen" and "then you have forced my hand" while said in anger can also totally be ready similarly. I've already seen others talk about how he was basically begging Ody to lie to him so like, "lie to me so I don't have to do anything about it" again

(whether or not Eury would've been able to play along, assuming he did want that, I don't know, and ig we'll never know)

Also Ody's total lack of reaction. Sure Scylla had "leaving them feeling betrayed" but having it said out loud could still sting. It could also be a "I thought we had a deal to not talking about that" type betrayal.

Anyway many thoughts head full

No matter how mad the word made us, It always held hope — a “hiatus.”

I’m sad for so many reasons — the fundamental sadness of death, and at such a young age; having to process the mortality of someone so extraordinary it seems they should transcend a fate as ordinary as dying; aching for his family and friends; angry that he had to navigate such a cruel world, one that continues to disrespect him in death. Yes, Liam was damaged and in turn damaged others; he had demons to face and amends to make — I like to think he would have, given a chance. His talent was so immense, and there was so much more to come. I believe he would have found a way to redemption, and then had such a beautiful renaissance.

The joy of being a 1D fan has always been policed and mocked. We’ve so frequently been laughed at, dismissed for the intensity of our love for the band. And now, the world wants to do the same with our grief, questioning its legitimacy, trivializing our feelings. But this loss is real. And this grief is valid.

And the grief of losing Liam is compounded by the grief of losing so much else. He wasn’t just a celebrity. They weren’t just a boyband. He was an integral part of an integral part of our formative years — no matter how old we were when we found them. So many of us are the people we are in part because of the people they are. Were. We’ve lost a beloved one, we’ve lost innocence, we’ve lost inspiration, we’ve lost a piece of our foundation.

We’ve lost hope.

It used to frustrate me, in retrospect, that they called it a “hiatus.” It felt dishonest — like a gentle lie to let us down easy. Why couldn’t they just say it was over? That being a boy band has a built-in shelf life, and it was time to explore solo careers. But now I understand the kindness in that word. For hope springs eternal, and it didn’t matter if it never came. All that matters was that it might. And “hiatus” wasn’t just for us; it held their optimism too. Especially Liam’s. It left the door open, even if only a crack, for the possibility of something more.

It’s been a remarkable gift to watch each one find his own path and his own voice. But when they announced a hiatus in 2015, they planted a seed of hope that someday we’d see the unrivaled magic of those boys on stage together again — the greatest team the world has ever seen. Maybe Zayn would join, probably not. Maybe it would’ve been a one-off thing for charity or a special anniversary. Maybe it would be in their 50s when the allure of easy money from a reunion tour was too tempting to resist. But surely, eventually, 1D would reunite in some capacity. I was excited to see how their once frenetic energy and youthful antics would meld with the mature solo artists they’ve become.

That hope sustained us through 18 months and eventually eight years, but now the hiatus is over. I would have happily clowned for every remaining day of my life than know this new certainty brought by the finality of Liam’s death. Maybe, someday, there will be a memorial performance. Maybe we’ll see three or four out of five come together to honor him — and what a poignant testament it will be that Liam was what could bring them together. Or maybe it will never feel right to them to take the stage without him, and that, too, will make all the sense in the world.

I wish I had an uplifting ending for this post. I don’t. I wake up and my first thought is “Liam isn’t here anymore,” and then I go about my day with that relentless realization lurking around the corner of every mundane task I do.

I haven’t been able to listen to their music yet. It’s a cruel trick that the thing that always brought comfort is now a trigger for grief. But I hope that will soon change. That, at some point, I’ll put on WMYB, get choked up at “You’re insecure” and second-guess my readiness. But then jump to History, and find solace in the lyrics that are currently rattling around my brain but aren’t ready to be heard yet: “This is not the end, this is not the end” … “We can live forever.”
