Catch me settling into your inbox with some tea and a fan like we're gossiping at brunch.

Director's Cut ask: Tell me which of the Gratitude chapters has been the most fun for you to write and why!

This is excellent I loooooove gossip :D

That’s a hard question actually!! All of the Gratitude chapters have something special, to me.

I really enjoyed writing Twilight’s chapter because I wrote it as I was playing TP for the first time! Colin is so freaking cute. AND THEN THEY HOLD HANDS!!!!!!! I love letting the blorbos hold hands.

Four’s was fun because they were both being very autistic 😂. And then they got to be gremlins. I like letting Sky and Four show their gremlin sides. They’re all Links, they all have one.

Legend’s was fun because Sky Legend best friend duo is my FAVORITE right now. And Sky gets to infodump about Loftwings!!! I left it a little unclear why Legend’s Gratitude crystal formed on purpose. It was a combination of everything Sky did for Legend that chapter, sure, but it was mostly just Legend feeling so lucky and thankful to have a friend like Sky love him back. SCREAMS SOBS /pos

I got the idea for Time’s chapter literally in the middle of the night. I woke up and it was playing in my head like a movie. Those are so fun. I’ve written something very similar to this before, too. It just scratches the brain cells in the right way.

Ok I think if I HAD to choose one chapter, I would choose Time’s. He’s my second favorite in LU so I guess that isn’t surprising :).

We’ve got Wind and Warriors left, and Sky himself. Sky’s chapter is going to be the most tooth-rotting fluff to ever tooth-rotting fluff. You just want. I know what I’m doing for Warriors’ chapter, so that one will probably come out next, but I have no idea what I’ll do for Wind. I’m hoping it’ll just come to me 😂

Gratitude is a priceless antidote to the meekly lived life.

Instead of looking back with a kind of bittersweet fondness on what we failed to appreciate at the time, gratitude practice directs us to appreciate the present as it unfolds right now.

There is no greater sense of luxury than relishing the here and now with every fiber of your being. And there is no greater blessing you can bestow on others than the unhindered love and cherishment that will radiate.

Here’s to all of you who keep our world spinning. And our gratitude.

1510 consecutive (almost) days on this daybreak walk at Cove Island Park. Like in a row. While you are all (mostly all) sleeping, and I’m sleepwalking through my morning walk, so many others are working. Working on a early Sunday morning. Picking up our trash, combing our beaches, keeping our parks clean, tending to our sick in hospitals and keeping our communities safe — while we sit and enjoy our morning coffee easing into our day. Here’s to all of you who keep our world spinning. And our gratitude. DK

Gratitude to Diane Duane

In the tradition of looking for something to be grateful for on this day in the USA, @dduane, I want to say thanks for your Young Wizard series. It was one of the works that helped form my worldview. I'm of an age that I grow up with the characters as you released the books. I found a battered copy of So You Want To Be A Wizard in --fittingly--the local library. And the universe you wrote in the series became a haven I ran to whenever the life I was living got me down or tried to take away my hope. I still turn to them for comfort and sanctuary in my thirties, by listening to the audiobooks. They always restore me. Thank you for writing this wonderful universe. Thank you for writing lonely kids who get invited into a universe of cousins and committed friends. Thank you for writing young people with the agency to help heal the world and stand up to evil. Thank you for writing magic that is a good and wholesome part of the world, walking hand in hand with science. Thank you for writing books that told a lonely kid there were friends out there, if I kept looking for them. All my gratitude.

My therapist asked about good things going on, and I said “I talk to some nice people on tumblr” so that’s a little sad that that’s my happy thing but also I’m grateful that I’ve met cool people, so thanks 🥰

New moon in Aquarius

This new moon on Friday February 9th, 2024 at 5:59pm is "closer to the earth." Which makes it particularly powerful.

1:41pm angel number confirmation.

New moons symbolize fresh starts, new beginnings. They have the potential for growth and transformation. New moons are a good time for intention setting and focusing on our hearts desire.

Aquarius is a fixed air sign. It is said that they represent a water bearer, from the origin of the latin word. When I hear this, I think of the fact that aquarius may hold the weight of the collective's ~feelings~ and emotions. They may be empaths who need time to recharge by passion projects and feeling like they are positively impacting the world & collective consciousness. Ruled by Uranus, Aquarius is one of the oldest constellations recognized in the second century. Uranus governs innovation, technology and surprising events. They are clever, assertive, confident, progressive and innovative! My sister is an aquarius sun and this all checks out. She is a school psychologist and a big thinker.

Air signs, personally, are hard to understand by me, a water, earth and fire dominant. It is said that they are technical thinkers with a distinctive attitude. The way I understand them most is their attitude for I am a heavily fixed sign person.

So, with this information, what would this Aquarius full moon represent for the collective?

Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac, following Capricorn and before Pisces, the end of the yearly cycle. While Capricorn may represent foundations, tradition and the building blocks of society, Aquarius represents community building. Making sure everyone is included, sharing their diverse strengths to make this world a better place. You may want to take a look at how society has shaped you. It has a direct impact on your home life, your family, our schooling and how we are raised.

The moon is all about our hidden, emotional side. This is the start of a new cycle and it would be good to re-evaluate past cycles and intentions. What are your intentions as of late? Are they nonexistent? Are you indifferent? Are you just trying to get by? I have noticed a lot of people standing up for what is right, facing the adversities in schools, in the USA government and the unfair treatment a lot of United States citizens are going through. I believe we are slowly moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. What does that mean to you? It reminds ME of the revolution..

Aquarius to me is a happy go-lucky-sign that also works to get things done. They may not want to, but they do what they have to do to survive.. don't we all? I'm excited to embrace a world where we don't have to give our life away to work we don't believe in. A world where we're essentially being slaves to closed-minded thinking and old patterns. I'm hoping for a world of barter and trade, of learning a craft, perfecting it and then learning some more!

For this Aquarius New Moon, ask yourself what intentions will align you with your truest, highest self. What sets your soul on fire, in the best way possible? What brings tears to your eyes because they're overfilled with joy? Is life supposed to be stressful? What feels like joy to you but still allows you to get what you need to get done? What do you want to do with this life?

You have the power to change the patterns no longer serving you and the collective. You have all the power to change your life, to shift your way of thinking, to sit and be still. You have all the power to manifest the life of your dreams. When you focus on what your soul desires, you shift into that energy. As soon as you embody the energy you desire, you attract likeminded individuals that BELONG in your life! What feels better than the people around you understanding you and having the desire to make life better for the collective whilst genuinely enjoying life?! A sense of community is something that cultivates peace and feels like a warm hug in this world turned cold.

Happy New Moon, have a blessed night! Thanks for reading with me! <3

I consider every day that I wake up in good health and with enough food to eat as a miracle, a gift from God.

whatever happens to us, it has been only one second in eternity

Your explanations about the origin of the universe actually comfort me most, especially the story you tell the students about the birth of stars. About everything once upon a time being gathered into one small particle that exploded one day, about stars being formed from a vast exploding cloud of gas and then the stars themselves exploding and the heat producing carbon and oxygen and nitrogen and everything needed for you and Valle to come into being someday inside me. The same substances, as it happens, that are involved in the decomposition of a body and turn it into stardust. Accounts of how the universe continues to expand make it easier for me to let go, the thought that we are part of the same state of perpetual motion. I think, whatever happens to us, it has been only one second in eternity.

Sad truth

[ihaveaweirdidea]

No one asked me but I'm seeing a lot of people posting about this. I know I'm small potatoes but it's only fair to keep those who enjoy what I post informed - I'm gonna stay til they nuke the site (which i doubt but hey, I've been wrong before). lol

In the short time I've been on here I've had a lot of fun - y'all are a bunch of weirdos and I like that. Nobody has ever posted an unkind word at me. So, I'll be here drawing and sharing as much weird s**t as my brain can think of.

To the Tumblr staff, if the story is true, those leaving and staying - whatever may come I wish you all well and all the best. ✌����
