āØFlying HighāØ
Karen has always felt most at home soaring through the skies above her town. Up there, everything seems so smallāher problems, the peopleātheyāre nothing but ants from way up high! ššØ
Her custom broom is a masterpiece, giving her the freedom to glide effortlessly through nature. And when sheās feeling bold, sheāll throw in some jaw-dropping tricks and stunts just to show off her skills. If it were up to Karen, she'd never land! āØ
Karen took home the pinup win last month, so we wanted to capture her wild and carefree spirit in this dynamic shot! Nest absolutely nailed it with the design, and I knew this outfit would match her free-flowing attitude perfectly. š

Embracing the Power of Hope: A Guiding Light in Challenging Times
Shaina Tranquilino
September 18, 2023
In a world that often seems engulfed by darkness, hope emerges as a powerful beacon of light, offering solace and strength to those who choose to embrace it. It is an intangible force that ignites our spirit, propels us forward, and empowers us to believe in better days. Regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in, hope remains steadfast, reminding us that even amidst adversity, there is always room for optimism and possibility.
The Essence of Hope:
Hope is not merely wishful thinking or blind optimism; rather, it is a deep-rooted belief that things can improve despite the current challenges. It enables us to see beyond present difficulties and envision a brighter future. Hope fuels resilience within us, allowing us to weather storms with unwavering determination and perseverance.
Finding Hope in Adversity:
While life undoubtedly presents its share of trials and tribulations, it is precisely during these trying times that hope becomes most crucial. In moments of despair and uncertainty, holding onto hope provides comfort and reassurance. Even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, hope whispers words of encouragement and reminds us that every setback can be transformed into an opportunity for growth.
The Ripple Effect of Hope:
Hope possesses an inherent ability to inspire change not only within ourselves but also among those around us. When we radiate hopefulness through our actions and attitudes, we create a domino effect that uplifts others' spirits. By embodying hope as individuals, we become catalysts for positive transformation on both personal and collective levels.
Nurturing Hope:
1. Cultivating gratitude: Gratitude acts as fertile ground for growing seeds of hope. Appreciating the blessings in our lives nurtures an optimistic outlook on the future.
2. Surrounding oneself with positivity: Surround yourself with hopeful individuals who exude positive energy. Engage in activities that bring joy and inspire creativity, fostering an environment conducive to hope.
3. Setting realistic goals: Hope thrives when we set meaningful objectives for ourselves. Breaking down larger aspirations into smaller, achievable milestones allows us to maintain a sense of progress and accomplishment.
4. Embracing resilience: Recognize setbacks as temporary roadblocks rather than permanent failures. Resilience helps us bounce back from disappointments and fuels the flame of hope within us.
Hope is not a passive state but an active choice ā a decision to believe in brighter days, even when circumstances may suggest otherwise. It empowers us to rise above adversity, embrace change, and work towards building a better future. Remember that hope is a renewable resource; it can be found within ourselves and shared with others through acts of kindness and compassion. By nourishing our own wellspring of hope, together, we can illuminate the world with its transformative power.

sokka trying to get katara to give up on her waterbending bc it could get her killed. and katara refuses to give up and continues to practice anyway. bc sokka and katara represent the survival of both the people and the culture. sokka had the safety of their people thrust upon him by his dad, while katara is the only one in their tribe that can carry the weight of their culture. both are heavy burdens, and they're struggling with their roles bc they're just two kids trying to rebuild in the wake of genocide. but they refuse to give up, bc that's what the story is about.
holding onto hope, regardless of what you face.
#so glad they focused on this aspect of katara and sokka's story instead of making them fight abt sexism#highlighting the unique ways in which they struggle to preserve the water tribe hits so much harder#ALSO it's a little unclear but if katara is the one who helped free aang from the iceberg#then katara's insistence on embracing her culture is what breaks the iceberg and frees aang (aka hope)#natla spoilers#avatar the last airbender#netflix atla#live action atla#katara#sokka#atla#natla#šŖø

having a lot of thoughts and feelings about this comparison
#arcane#jinx#praying this new look means she starts embracing both sides of her instead of quote unquote letting powder die like silco wanted#hoping silcos death means shes free to make her own decisions and decide who she wants to be without someone manipulating her#and changing her perception of herself and those around her

Imagine Gale as a talented and impressive young man, able to compose the Weave at will, skilled in a way that few can match, and favored by the Goddess of Magic herself. Imagine that because of these accomplishments, heās caught the eye of a few up-and-coming magic adepts, and he falls in love with one of themāhis first real love. Gale isnāt one to toss the āLā word around lightly, so when he tells them he loves them, he means it; he gives himself over to them completely.
And in return, they love him for his potential. For his status. For the magic he can command. They love the wizard they see on the surface, but not the man underneath. They are attracted to his power, but not to him.
So of course the relationship fails, after the thrill of his magic wears off. But because Gale is a resilient young man and heās caught the eye of so many, he soon falls in love with another.
And then it happens again. And again.
And each time Galeās heart is ravaged, his ambition to become a better wizard grows, because heās being shown time and time again that his magic ability is all that matters.
So much so that, by the time Mystra decides to elevate him from Favored to Chosen to Lover, he welcomes her with eager, desperate arms. Because if all his worth is in his magic, and thatās all he has to offer, and thatās all anyone wants from him, who better to love him than the Goddess of Magic herself?
Exceptā¦thereās a nagging voice in the back of his head that whispers she doesnāt really love him. Thereās anxiety in his heart as time passes, and he reaches both the limit of what his talents can do and what Mystra will allow him to do. And most troubling of all: a growing panic that, just like his other lovers, she will soon grow tired of him and discard him if he canāt improve his magic any further.
He tries pouting, and pleading, and begging her to let him take more power, to let him be more for her, but she refuses. Smiles patronizingly. Tells him to be patient. But Gale canāt be patient when his power is tied so closely to his self-worth; he canāt be patient when doing so in the past has only ever lead to heartache.
So he does what he believes will be a Grand Romantic Gesture, one that will finally put him on equal footing with the woman he loves. Instead, it turns out to be a folly that dooms him and destroys his talents. And just as heād always feared, Mystra tosses him aside the moment his magical gifts are goneābecause whatās left of him holds no value for her.
āāāā
Imagine Gale in his tower, alone, afraid, the ever-hungry orb in his chest, with only his tressym there to help him. No other friends to speak of. His colleagues forced to keep away for their own safety. His magical talents utterly stripped down, so that even when he does try and distract himself with illusions, heās bitterly reminded of what he used to be capable of. Waking every morning wondering if it will be his last, ending every day full of loneliness and disappointment.
ā¦and then he meets Tav.
At the lowest point in his life, at his most vulnerable, when he knows heās going to be considered a burden, he meets this stranger and their group. So he does what he can to be usefulāassigning himself to be camp cook, offering up his (now meager) magic skills, turning the charm up to 11āas he desperately hopes this will somehow work out. Heās pleasantly surprised when, after providing only minor details of his condition, Tav agrees to help him. Heās even more surprised when they actually follow through.
Imagine how Gale feels as Tav treats him kindly. As he grows to trust Tav, and then grows to like them. Imagine his surprise as he opens up and shows them more and more of himself, and they donāt turn him away.
But then his condition worsens. And he has to reveal everything: the foolish mistakes heās made, and how dangerous he is as a result. He clings to Tavās hand as he shows them his folly. Heās at their mercy now, and he knows this might be the last time heāll ever feel the touch of another being, if they decideāand Gods, why wouldnāt they decide?āto cast him out.
ā¦but they donāt. They donāt. Instead, they tell him to stay.
Imagine the relief Gale feels. The gratitude. And perhapsā¦just a hint of something more. Something that he dare not name, but that flares to life every time he thinks of how warm their hand was in his. Something that feels dangerously close to jealousy, when heās had too much to drink and sees Tav smiling at anotherā¦
But he knows these are all foolish thoughts, because he has nothing to offer Tav. They are wonderful just as they are, but heā¦he is an empty shell of a man, a discarded husk of a wizard, and while they might tolerate him, he could never believe they might actually want him.
And besides, he still thinks of Mystra. He still longs for Mystra. She who cast him out, but to whom he still feels tethered. Sometimes he needs to cocoon himself in the weave, just to try and calm his fears and bring some joy back to his life, because magic is his life. And sometimes he just needs to see her face, even though that hurts as much as it heals.
One night heās lost in thought, having conjured Mystaās image after settling down at camp. Thinking that even if she hadnāt ālovedā himācertainly not in the way heād loved herāsheād given him enough otherwise, hadnāt she? Sheād amused him and been amused by him, theyād shared countless pleasures, why hadnāt he been satisfied with that?
Gale is so lost in thought he doesnāt realize Tav has come up behind him. Until they ask a question, startling him out of his trance. Heās a bit shaken, so he tries to turn the conversation from Mystra to the weave itself. And then a wonderful idea occurs to him, something that heād been toying with already: what if they were to conjure the weave together?
He can show Tav how important magic is to him, let them experience what he does, perhaps even impress them a bit. But most importantly, share a moment with them. As friends would doā¦
Heās elated when Tav agrees. He leads them through the steps effortlessly, and theyāre a surprisingly good student, following his instructions correctly (if a bit clumsily). Heās as excited as they areāperhaps even more so!āwhen they succeed in channeling the weave.
Itās such a pleasant, familiar feeling for him, like coming home to his tower in Waterdeep. Even as the weave connects him with Tav and makes them one, heās easily able to hide his innermost thoughts, because heās done it so many times before.
ā¦but heās forgotten that Tav has not.
āāāā
Imagine Gale knowing every romantic partner he ever had only wanted him because of how he could raise their status, or how he could amuse them, or how he could command magic for them. And, each time, he was happy to oblige them, even desperate to oblige them, because if that was the price of their love, then he was sure it would be worth it.
But it still all came to nothing.
Now imagine Gale connected in an intimate way with someone he likes very, very muchāwhile being what he considers his lowest, most worthless, and most humbled self. As far from the powerful, impressive wizard he once was as he could ever be. And suddenly a vision enters his mind from the lovely creature standing next to him. Only, to his complete and utter shock, it isnāt one where he is providing them with a service, or wowing them with his magical ability, or granting them some kind of power from one of the spells he commands.
Instead, when he sees their desire laid bare before him, itās a vision of kissing him. Of holding his hand. The two most basic forms of affection and physical connection. The two things that he would still be able to offer them even if every last ounce of his remaining magical abilities were stripped from him. The two things he could share with them even if he was no longer Gale of Waterdeep, and just plain old Gale Dekarios instead.
Imagine the embarrassment and trepidation he feels at first, because surely he is mistaken?ā¦and then the elation when he realizes that he is not. So much elation that his concentration is broken, the weave dissipating as he forgets about channeling it, as he forgets about Mystra. Because all that matters to him now is the image before himāthe most pleasant and welcome image heās seen in a very, very long time.
Imagine how that would feelā¦and how besotted, enamored and completely devoted heād be to Tav afterwards. To know that someone finallyāfinallyājust wants him.
Just imagine.
#Please enjoy this huge dissertation about Gale#(which was unintentional)#I originally wanted to talk brieflyāBRIEFLYāabout why the weave scene is so important to him#And then Iā¦.kept writing lol#Please also note that while this focuses on successfully channeling the weave I also LOVE the talk you have with him if you āfailedā it!#The same themes apply there because when you tell Gale you still think about being alone together he replies that he hopes to embrace you#Itās all about Gale finally finding someone who appreciates him just as he is and being able to connect with them#gale of waterdeep#gale dekarios#baldur's gate 3#gale x tav#bg3

The way I would pay good money to have Eddie celebrating dia de los muertos rather than Halloween especially with an episode called masks and the symbolism of the sugar mask around regeneration and rebirth
#let Eddie embrace his Mexican#Ryan mentioned Mayan culture in his interview and Iām hoping it was because were going to get Eddie explore his Mexican roots in some way#but also the skeleton theme ties back to Eddieās first Halloween episode - specifically the skeleton who called 911 that he and buck find#911 spoilers#eddie diaz#911 abc#thinking thoughts

#I think in this version of the au possesion puts you into an almost dream-like state#Slipping into a sort of weird trance#Like physically you still have control of your body#But mentally you're mindlessly following orders from a disembodied voice#Kinda works like that imperius curse in harry potter (yes ik rowling sucks)#And jax soon figured out it was great for dissasociatingš#Escapism and heavily dependant on those possesion sessions to preserve his own mental stability:')#But *cue dramatic musicš„*#He eventually realises that it was not the possesion that brings him comfort and peace no more#But the presence and embrace of gangle that did<3ššš#Jskhsskhj sorry that was so cheesyš§#Well more or less its because he hadnt have human interaction in AWHILE it seems#Goose did confirm that it has been a long time since he last got a hug:(#*almost* made me feel bad there#Mkay enough rambling about this slight very minor variation of the story#I hope this whole thing was coherent to even be readable=]#Maybe ill even add emojisāØ#tadc gangle#tadc jax#ribbun#the amazing digital circus#Tadc au#tadc fanart#tadc fandom#gangle x jax#jax x gangle#Let me have this guys#Let me indulge-#Her head is a tad bit too small yes IM AWARE#This is actually probably my fastest post to reach 100 notes wth (in like 7-8 hours)

We all thought Odysseus was gonna become a monster amongst men.
Never did we consider that he'd become a monster to a god.
#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga#odysseus#poseidon#the fact that he asked poseidon to try forgiving-#that he still held out hope for polites' open arms#and when poseidon said nope he wasted no time embracing ruthlesness#just. wow#karma at its finest
