This is just one of the pictures that ✨inspired✨me to write a certain chapter of Sinned Awakening… Even just looking at this picture now makes me want to faint🫠

À LA the met gala: Bakugo is the type of "celebrity" to dress down when he knows he's going to be standing next to you at big events. There's definitely a collection of photos somewhere called: "dynamight admires partner from afar" where he's the background of all your paparazzi shots looking at you in stoic awe

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING

Everything is really hectic these days for a number of reasons, it's hard to post to four social sites and update the Patreon regularly, so I miss this one a lot. I'm mostly on Bluesky and IG, Bluesky mostly for nerd talk with comics people, IG for art, my cat Winky the Pirate Girl, crappy horror movies and shitty food (and sometimes I sell small drawings). Twitter is where I seem to be answering questions about The Eltingville Club and blocking scumbags, dimwits and ads. I try to dip in there and get out asap. Anyway, I appreciate the folks who follow me here, I'll try to follow up on posting here more often. I'll probably fail to do it, to be honest. But thanks for following me here.

If I had a nickel for every time I had a favorite character who lived in a future capitalist driven society where superheroes are a thing of the past and more legend and myth than reality, take up the mantle of their city’s “patron saint” superhero sort of on accident but then just say ‘fuck it we ball’ and roll with it, dismantle corrupt corporations from the inside out while also working to help the ‘bad part of town’ fight off the gangs with themes of the original villains that the original superhero used to fight, have a little brother who eventually helps them in their superheroing business, learn that the guy who they thought was their father isn’t their father and instead it’s some rich guy in charge/owner of the corporation they’re trying to take down, are snarky ass little shits with a gallows sense of humor, and have a significant other named Dana, I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

48? Please :)

48: If you could write the next book of any series, which one would it be, and what would you make the book about?

Heh...definitely the next ACOTAR book! I need Elain's and Lucien's POVs immediately and to put all debate to rest that they are endgame. But I also want it my way because I don't want SJM to f*ck it all up either...or hurt my boi Lucien ever again.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by VII runs on Eastern mentality? I'm curious on your thought process on that :)

I will preface this answer by first asking folks to acknowledge that FFVII takes a lot of inspiration from a bunch of cultures and religions and throws it all into one big pot and stirs it up into a nice stew. Therefore, any likeness to any existing culture/religion is just that--a likeness. Not a carbon copy.

Now, Sephiroth is named for the Sefirot which is Kabbalistic which is Jewish which is connected with Christianity which has the angels and fallen angels and Heaven and Hell. You got the Ten Commandments and a whole buncha rules about what you can and can't do or else your soul has a bad time in Hell. Due to Christianization, I feel a lot of people know this and thus I shan't dwell on the specifics too long.

...There is no Heaven or Hell or God in FFVII. That's not a thing. There is the Lifestream. And one could argue that Minerva is a goddess because she is the face and mouthpiece of the Will of the Planet...but she's modeled after a Roman goddess, so like. Eh.

And everyone and everything that dies goes to the Lifestream. It doesn't matter if you're a war criminal or a saint, you all go into the fucking spirit soup. And, ultimately, your memories are absorbed, and your spirit energy gets recycled to birth new things.

So, like...without a heaven or hell, redemption and forgiveness doesn't quite work the same on a cosmic level. If at all. For all intents and purposes, the Lifestream doesn't give a shit. Unless you're Negative.

Now, y'see, in VII land, there is Lifestream and Negative Lifestream, and the latter is a little bit newer to the planet on account of it being tied to Jenova. And Sephioth. And despair. And Geostigma.

All the negativity, all the people who died in misery, start to join this darker flow of Lifestream that the planet cannot cleanse on its own and the only way to help those poor, unfortunate souls is for Aerith and her long-dead Cetran relatives to give the freshly deceased some gentle therapy sessions.

And there's also Stagnant Lifestream, which is a slightly different beast, brought up in Dirge of Cerberus. It is the Stagnant Lifestream that births Chaos.

...... The Lifestream and all its machinations are so very, very Shinto.

Running water? Pure. Stagnant water? Unpure. You commit certain acts that taint you? Go get purified, idiot.

I'm grossly simplifying it, but I ain't got the time to expound, what with four minutes remaining on my lunch break.

Sephiroth may have committed terrible crimes that a Western ideology can never forgive, but VII ain't running on that ideology, it's running on the concept of the Lifestream is the most non-judgmental blender of human souls imaginable and the end goal is to shed your burdens, your memories, be purified in that wonderful flow, and let Life happen.

Thus redemption in the form of purification for Sephiroth is possible, regardless of what he's done, if he chooses to allow himself to join the flow and be purified. If he gets that spiritual therapy he needs, no amount of, "But he killed Cloud's mother!" is gonna stop him from being 'redeemed' in the planet's eyes.

sad when you grow apart from someone not bc of anything bad but just bc you’ve both become different and no longer vibe / just run out of things to say to each other. also awkward

The man on the radio has gone ... somewhere out there in the wilds with the lost postman for who knows how long ... he may return one day but, until then, run free man on the radio. Weatherwise looks like a bit of everything today, so a bikini under a raincoat with a pair of wellingtons and a kayak should cover it. The traffic lady came and went amidst collisions and chaos and talk of her favourite chocolate bar.

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday in Tuesdayville ... zipping off into the shiny metropolis so no real time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. Coffee is mine and I'll call in again tomorrow ...
