Whatever you do, don’t think about how happy Sifo-Dyas must have been that last time with Dooku on Serenno. He’d been fired as a Seeker, lost his seat on the Jedi Council, had the worst rounds of visions of his life, and finally, finally, someone is listening to him, someone believes him, someone gets it.

He’s back with his best friend who promised to help him save the galaxy, like the two of them were made to do together. Like they always knew they were going to do.

8ut then, who 8ut royalty could have the finned cheek to show disdain for the manner in which his 8lack lover conducts her red conquests?

Who is Mindfang red for, do we think? My two best guesses are Pyrope and Nitram.

Also, it's notable that the Orphaner is described as 'royalty', even though he's only in the penultimate caste. I wondered before if the Violets could be ruling Alternia in lieu of the Fuchsias, and this seems to be more fuel for that fire.

Less has acceler8ted meeker than I to homicide, and the viol8tion would hold me aghast, again, if his misgivings did not complement his so endearing arsenal of qu8nt flaws. It is impossi8le to stifle this grin even now as I write.

Mindfang is loquacious indeed, and honestly might give Rose a run for her money. In summary:

The Orphaner is angry that Mindfang's romantically involved with lowbloods. I guess an Ampora's an Ampora, no matter the era.

Mindfang is confirmed to be telepathic, an ability that Vriska has only occasionally displayed. She can't read Dualscar's mind, though - presumably because he's a highblood.

She goes on to explain that her 'romances' are with slaves she's mind-controlling, lest we forget that this is a genuinely evil troll. Nothing the Alternian Players have done even comes close to what Mindfang gets up to. This is the shit that Vriska couldn't bring herself to pull on Tavros, and now we know where she got the idea.

Reference is made to 'The Grand Highblood', a powerful troll fond of punchlines. Now, technically this could refer to any member of the juggalo cult, but let's not fuck around here. Gamzee's ancestor has entered the story.

And there he is.

Oddly enough, I think I like Eridan's style better. The scarf really adds something, and that something's missing here.

I like how this confrontation is sharing screenspace with Mindfang's journal. It really highlights how much these highbloods have been following their ancestors' footsteps, whether they know it or not.

Seriously, viewing Vriska's treatment of Tavros through this lens is... I don't even know if there's a word for it. I'd need multiple posts to even begin to dig into the implications.

Like, there's no two ways about it - that aborted mind-control attempt was a deliberate attempt to emulate her ancestor. When Vriska stopped controlling him, she thought she was failing to live up to Mindfang's legacy.

She thought she was a failure.

For not assaulting Tavros.

whenever i get the "List 1 item on the Auction House" daily pursuit on flight rising, my go to item is an earthworm, which i of course list for 1 gem. and no one ever buys it and that's completely fine by me, because that's my pursuit worm, and i just keep him listed on the auction house for whenever i get that particular pursuit. but...recently..somebody bought my worm??? my earthworm? my pursuit earthworm? for 1 gem? and idk what to do now. i didn't think anyone would actually want to buy an earthworm, even for 1 gem. i mean i'm not mad i'm just confused. i have 400 other earthworms i'm not like having an earthworm crisis or anything. i just think it's funny that someone bought my pursuit worm.

Its not even lust anymore i just want Elias to come into my house and do my paperwork for me

HELLO HELLO😋 I feel like this is important to sharee! If ur new here or if u haven't been able to see it yet, I'm a pretty nice person..or atleast I'd like to think I am. I compliment people a lot and share a shit ton of positivity thru these parts (tips hat LMAO) and also in MANY other places on the interwebs ofc. But I'd like to make it clear that I am NAWT a creep and have nooo down right awful intentions behind my sweetiepie actions. Throughout my whole life I've dealt with a lot of issues when it came down to different types of people trying to understand why I'm not the typical piece of shit loser. Whether it's people who may think I'm a slimy weird creeper or just don't rlly know how to accept the love so they cut me off. I'm FULLY aware I CAN come off as TOO nice to the point where it's almost baffling but I PROMISE im just spreading love. If I ever have/do make u uncomfortable from this behavior pls lmk. But also know that I HAVE dealt with true creeps. Coming from big accounts in different fandoms, I've literally been harassed and love bombed and hit by sm different people who DID have nastay intentions with me and not a good heart. For me, I consider this. I got a lot of love in my system, why not share it? Do I unfortunately give it to the wrong people sometimes? Absolutely. A lot of people have used me for this trait and juiced the FUCK out of me till i did..crash out. BUT most people in this life do deserve love and to be treated kindly, both irl and on the internet. We all live this life once and boyyyy is it hard. Take lovely spongebob, make him experience some god awful trauma till he's a lil emo sponge, but still remains a nice goober despite his flaws and blue days. Dat me🧽 I think being loving is underrated af too...I personally think it's cool sharing smiles and making people believe they belong here. Hell, sometimes I be friend flirting too with internet ppl..I'm sure ur all pretty fucks inside and out o7. Don't be scared of that too, it's kinda like how jay shows his love to silent bob. I promise im not trynna get in ur pants either LMAOOO unless uhhh ur one of my fav fictional characters or it's VERYYYY clear we have something going on between us for both parties (trust, u will know if I like u. I'm just very charismatic and wholesomely flirtatious. Yea I'll kiss some of u on da MOUF...see I can say that but obviously your soul is behind a screen I can't actually reach so don't be scurred🩵) BUT YEA. I'm sorry if I'm often like "yo ur so cool I love ur energy sending u virtual hugs homie" ITS JUST MA VIBEZZZZ😫💜 people tend to wait until someone's funeral to let them know how much they admired them..I don't fw that. We should normalize sharing joy and kindness now before the world turns even more into shiiit🎲

I was reminded of a Thing from the reblogs on the Mermay 03 Prompt

Very similar vibes. But with platonic omegaverse, and dragons. Gotham? Already cursed to hell and back. But then another curse was formed via the museum bringing in this strange statue. That of course got stolen because solid crystal and gold. Then got broken, split in half. And oop. New Curse.

Now before I get into the curse, lemme explain the omegaverse side of things. Everyone is born a secondary gender labeled Alpha, Omega, or Beta. There's also medical conditions where one is neither, usually a mix of genetic and hormonal issues. Gotham however, is Weird. They have no set scent according to Outsiders. Really? They can shift and switch (Yes there's a large LGTBQ percentage in the population) at will. It can take months for someone new to the city, but those that have been there for a few generations can do it in hours. For those like the Waynes or other founders who have been there since the beginning of the city? Minutes. It's more than a little unnerving to Outsiders who are used to things staying the same.

But that curse (or blessing as others call it) mixed with the new dragon one. See, they can all change into draconic form, and do their best to keep that secret. But they also have different forms depending on the secondary sex they are at that time.

@f4nd0m-fun & @golden-buddle idk if u'd be interested in this but-

Im going 2 be soo fucking for real right now. The way the FR staff has been going thru the TUMBLR TAG and monitoring it the same way they would the actual site is grim as hell. Reblogging someones post abt religion buttons to say that theyre at risk of a DISCRIMINATION CLAIM is fucking batshit. Making vague posts abt how tumblr users have the staff blocked is CHILDISH . This is NOT the main site and the mods need to mind their fucking business unless asked something DIRECTLY

[poop-flying]

absolutely fantastic RoR this year. im going to buy so many skins and accents.. Mica's a gunspirit bound to the captain of a pirate ship. It has a short temper and a light trigger finger; in other words, they're bad for business.

My Semi-Coherent Thoughts About Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo So Far (ep. 1-6)

This is a response to some asks I got after this week's ep. 5 and 6, and some additional thoughts from me. I'll mostly throw some random points out there because I've been living in right-brain-land for most of this week (or weeks? What's time anyway, eh?), so being coherent seems like too much of a challenge right now, lol. But this post needs to be written so I can stop thinking about it and focus on something else.

Let's start with two Anons who dropped into my inbox with comments of the same context: that Dohoi was an asshole and that I wouldn't be able to defend him anymore...

Clearly, Anons, you seemed to have completely missed the point of my previous posts where I said I was neutral (I still am) and refused to go into a discussion about taking sides because that's not where the interesting bits are (not for me, anyway).

I'm on both their sides and on no one's side.

Juyeong and Dohoi have both made mistakes:

Juyeong lied about Dohoi's dad abusing him

Dohoi pretended to not know about it

Juyeong chose to stand up to Dohoi's dad even though he knew that man was a violent piece of shit

Dohoi called the police, afraid he wouldn't be able to focus on his exam, but he couldn't focus anyway

None of them communicated any of this to the other in the past

Etc.

To say that Dohoi is the asshole while Juyeong is an angel is completely ignoring an important point: nothing is ever black or white. (Yes, this is just fiction, but it's a realistic piece of fiction that shows this very point.)

Also, to think that only one of them has/does suffer is a very one-sided way of looking at it. To be fair, it's easy to fall into that trap since we're getting a lot of Juyeong's pov at the moment while Dohoi's story is still kept in the dark.

But imagine how much of a self-sabotager you are for choosing to push away people who love you because you inherently believe that you will never be good enough or will never be worthy of love. Dohoi has been in so much pain for such a long time it's familiar to him. It takes years, decades, maybe even a whole lifetime to climb out of a hole like that. And he might've been able to do that on his own if Juyeong hadn't shown up at the funeral and reminded him of all the things from the past once again.

One of the Anons then proceeded to list all the ways Juyeong was abandoned and that Dohoi did the exact same thing to him, which made Dohoi even more of an asshole...

I can't help but wonder if we've seen the same show.

Because Dohoi was abandoned too.

They’re both dealing with abandonment issues.

None of them had present parent growing up

Juyeong was adopted, which will always be a wound for him (and being adopted by those kinds of parents didn’t make it any better)

I can’t quite remember if they mentioned that Dohoi’s mom died or left but, either way, both can lead to abandonment issues (especially when a child is forced to go through it)

Then we have Hyeonho who turned from Dohoi's friend to his bully (again, Dohoi was abandoned)

When shit went down in the past, Juyeong left with his parents, and while that was a valid reason, it was yet another person who left Dohoi (which, to be fair, made Dohoi indirectly responsible since he called the police)

And then Juyeong was abandoned by Dohoi who went radio silent for years

They are both dealing with abandonment issues. Just because the show, at this point, is mostly focusing on the effects of Dohoi abandoning Juyeong doesn’t mean Dohoi wasn’t abandoned as well. Because he was. It’s mentioned and shown in subtle ways throughout the show.

Being abandoned can be a huge trauma for a person (especially for kids who don't have the tools to deal with important people leaving or dying). And we all have different trauma responses, which I think is another interesting point of this show:

Juyeong’s trauma response is to fight (he did so when he stood up for Dohoi against the bullies in the past, when he chose to stand up against Dohoi’s dad, but also when he physically punched a teacher)

Dohoi’s trauma response is flight (he tried to ignore that Juyeong was abused by his dad, he never put up a fight even when he was beaten by the bullies, he left after he threatened his dad with a knife, etc.)

None of those is a "better"/"worse" response

These characters are both traumatized for fuck's sake

And, the thing is, we've seen time and time again that the last thing Dohoi wants is to fight. He reacts even to the mere mention of it.

Juyeong fighting (even though it's never physical with Dohoi) won’t give him the results he wants from Dohoi.

And Juyeong, who was abandoned by his birth parents, adopted by a couple who didn't seem to want him anyway, and might think that no one ever fought for him, will always be hurt by Dohoi avoiding things.

They are each other's opposites even though they're dealing with a similar type of trauma.

And they won’t be able to be happy with each other (or with themselves, which is, honestly, more important) until they deal with their own trauma.

(Also, I don’t know about you, but Hwang Daseul choosing to use these contrasting trauma responses for these boys is fucking genius to me because there's so much potential for angst, which we've gotten a whole 3-course meal of. I'm well fed at this table and I won't be leaving any time soon, lol.)

One of the Anons also briefly mentioned Dohoi's old home and how he should just sell it to Juyeong because it was the only place where Juyeong was happy, and I...

*Sigh*

I'll have to admit that this was the first time in the show that my neutrality was tested because... If you can watch the following scene without feeling empathy for Dohoi, you're (no judgment) colder than me (a certified ice queen):

Imagine going back to the place where you were abused all those years. Dohoi took one look at the place, and his past traumas and emotions about what happened came pouring back. I'm not surprised he wants to sell it. Hell, if I was him, I'd want to decimate the place. But, instead, he has to deal with Juyeong wanting to buy it even though Juyeong knows what went down in that house.

If Juyeong wants to keep it "as is" to make sure Dohoi doesn't regret selling the place, Juyeong is delulu. If he wants to buy it and build something new, that's different. But we don't know what he wants yet. We don't really know why he's so intent on buying the place (other than not wanting Dohoi to regret it).

Either way, that whole situation made me feel a bit weird about Juyeong. Buying the place where the person you loved experienced trauma? What the actual fuck? And I'm not surprised that Dohoi is feeling some kind of way about it (and if he still thinks it's because Juyeong feels some kind of loyalty or guilt towards his dad, that's so fucking sad).

I do think the place is important to the rest of the story, though. It's the place where theirs began. It's the place where they loved and lost and were abused. It's the place that contains the events they both need to reconcile and deal with before moving on.

Which leads me to my speculations of where this might be going in the last two episodes. Because I think Juyeong will take Dohoi to his old home. Especially since the search history on the GPS in the car he rented included it.

That place will always be an open wound for them until they deal with the past, so Dohoi can stop running from it and Juyeong can stop living in it.

It was also the place where Dohoi's walls crumbled for the first time since the time jump, so Juyeong might think that's the best place to deal with the shit once and for all.

Walden Law Firm was also in the GPS search history, which is where Hyeonho works. My guess is that Juyeong has already gone to see Hyeonho when he meets up with Dohoi at the end of the 6th episode. Whatever might've gone down in that meeting (Juyeong saying Dohoi broke it off again, Juyeong demanding to know what happened with Dohoi during the past 12 years, Hyeonho spilling the beans, or whatever), it might be the reason why Hyeonho called Dohoi to say they needed to talk.

Then there's the biggest question of all the questions I have, which is about what happened to Dohoi during those 12 years. If Dohoi didn't graduate (at least not as an architect), how did he gain everything he now has?

In regards to college, I don't think it was anything more dramatic than him not managing to have the right results on the entrance exam. Math is an essential part of architecture, and we've already seen that math wasn't Dohoi's forte.

About his apparent wealth, though. As I mentioned before, I can't remember if they mentioned whether Dohoi's mom died or left. But, if she left, there might've been some inheritance if she eventually died, which could also be how he and Hyeonho met (since these things, more often than not, require lawyers).

If that's true, feeling that his wealth was "unearned" might be a reason he lied about the floorplans to that house. (Btw, I can't believe Juyeong didn't call Dohoi's bluff because I would've called him out on his bullshit so fucking fast, lol.)

I think it's also a part of his facade to pretend that he was okay all those years even though he was suffering (which I'm sure we'll see more of in the coming episodes).

But I also feel like there's something more. More to the reason he didn't study architecture and more to how he gained his wealth. And definitely more to what was going on between Dohoi and Hyeonho and how involved Hyeonho has been the past 12 years.

There's still so much of Dohoi's story to be revealed, and I can't wait to see it all unfold.
