#help don't critisize

[flamingpen18]

Disgusted

I'm trying to maintain composure, especially when the person is trying to help.

Let me be clear. I have contacted everyone from 211 to Hope House, Salvation Army, Delaware Public Housing, Delaware State Service Center, The Housing Alliance, and the list goes on. I have several pages worth in my notebook of places/people I have reached out to, including dates and times as well as info I was given.

One of the most annoying things I came across is people telling me to contact so and so or such and such cus they will definitely help us. So when I do reach out I am told that they can't help us. Over and over and over again.

The state did help us for a few months out of the funding from Covid. Guess what? That funding ran out. We already received help from TANF. Again, it ran out.

There is a huge housing crisis in Delaware. Many many families are homeless not just us. The problem is that in this state, they consider $27,000/yr the poverty level. What happens to those like me who are drastically below the poverty level? We fall in the cracks. We do not qualify for low-income housing in this state. We simply do not have the income that is required. We don't even have the money to pay for the credit/criminal checks which run anywhere from $35-50 depending on where you are applying. None of that money is refundable.

Yes, I have applied to public housing here. We have been on the waiting list for Delaware Housing Authority for 23 months. When I initially applied, I was told the waiting list would be 1 1/2 to 3 yrs long.

That's the other issue. No matter where you apply, the waiting lists are 3 + years long. We are homeless now. We need help now.

Dave even tried to get a job. He's not supposed to work because his left knee is shot and he has to have a full knee replacement. He has to wear a knee brace all the time to his orthopedic doctor's orders. He cannot walk without it.

Do you want to know how bad things are? Dave applied to be a bell ringer at the Salvation Army. They told him no. They also said he was an insurance risk. Everywhere he has applied to has told him the same thing. So yes, he has begun the application process for disability, but that takes months to years to go through if it does go through.

Through all of this horror, we had to send our youngest daughter to her friend's house. We didn't want her to have to deal with being homeless. She's in 10th grade and needs to stay focused on her schooling and not have to worry about living out of a van. We didn't get to spend Thanksgiving with her not that we really had a Thanksgiving to begin with. Having our family split up hurts so much.

I would also point out that I am disabled. Due to my mobility issues, my eldest daughter, #helly-watermelonsmellinfellon is my caregiver. She doesn't have a driver's license, so she cannot get a job at Uber or Doordash. Besides, we live out of the van. There is no vehicle for her to use. Plus, the water pump on the van is going.

#helly-watermelonsmellinfellon is doing what she can with her ko-fi. It's a good thing my kid can write her socks off.

Writing vent:

ngl I kind of like working on my unpopular stories that get no comments because whenever I upload something new onto "Let's Get This Over With" or "Loki's Little Habit" or "Something to Live For", I get a lot more comments that don't make me feel so good about my writing or beg me to write something else.

There's like 4 people or so who come into comments a lot and just say "I don't like this choice you made" or "I wish you had done x" or something like that and it's like... I'm glad you read it and took the time to comment but if you really feel that way then maybe consider reading something else or writing your own thing? If you want to make an alternate ending to my thing, then please do, but don't ask me to change my work for you.

I don't mind requests. I *like* requests, but I've just found this method of requesting things really upsetting and it's been a huge damper on my motivation.

I've been working on a new story that's centered around Thor and I'm going to need a while to work more of the story out, but I'm kind of scared to start posting it because I think I'm going to get a lot of negative comments about it even though I worked really hard and invested a lot of personal experience into it.

I post fandom content as therapy work for myself. I always want to improve as a writer, but that's why I'm getting a creative writing minor and why I'm working for a local paper. That's not why I post online. I'd love a beta reader (I should put up a big "BETA READER WANTED" sign up at this point) but if you're not my beta reader, then I'd kind of prefer you didn't comment that stuff on my therapy writing after I've already posted it. It makes me feel like I'm just putting out low quality first drafts every time I write. :(

PAC - WHY SHOULD YOU FOCUS ON YOURSELF INSTEAD OF YOUR FUTURE SPOUSE RIGHT NOW ?

Just meditate and ask your guides/higher power to provide you insight.

Allow me to tap into your energy. 🧿

My readings are always honest and I don't sugarcoat things, pls read at your own risk. And try to have an open mind. 🙏🧿💕

Pile 1

Cards - 7 of wands, 6 of pentacles, 8 of wands

Are you in a hurry to meet them? Your future spouse? You are rushing things and trying to get ahead of your circumstances or the present reality. You know what pile 1?

You have all the power over your fears!

In the hurry of meeting them, you are forgetting your own self. You need to love yourself first before loving someone else. You should give yourself more time to think and process things. You should try to ground yourself in the present. Try to do root chakra and sacral chakra healing. Your fears have created some energy blocks which aren't helping you at all.

Don't worry, your desire of wanting to meet the one for you is being addressed by the universe. You will get what you want. But you need to heal yourself first. Clear your karma and self doubts.

Pile 2

Cards - 10 of pentacles, 7 of cups, 4 of pentacles

Pile 2 my loves, are going through a spiritual transformation or awakening right now. You can't miss any steps in the journey right? Please focus on healing yourself more.

Okay, so I can see that you are trying to manifest love and abundance in your life or you are just dreaming and visualizing about it. Let me tell you this one thing, that it definitely is working in your favour but you also need to break the walls of protection that surround you. You are scared to go outside and meet new people. Dear, please understand that you need to get out of your dreams and delusions and actually step out of your comfort zone to meet your future spouse.

Your future spouse on the other hand are too trying to heal their inner child wounds. They are saying that you need to get stable in life. You lack grounded energy and are underconfident about a lot of things. Please try to let go of any insecurities that surround you. Because they are hampering your growth, pile 2.

Pile 3

Cards : Temperance, 7 of wands, 5 of cups

Do you have this tendency to get depressed whenever you don't get any messages from the pick a card readings of? Don't be dependent for love on anyone, not even your future spouse. Love them, but stay away from unhealthy attachments. The reason of their no communication is because they are busy. They are working hard in their career right now. And you too should now focus on your career and goals.

Everything is well when taken in moderation. Balance love and career both logically and like a healthy human being please. You also have this tendency to run away from problems or sadness and indulge yourself in overworking don't do that.

Some of you could be in same sex relationships and you are thinking that things won't work out. Well, things would work out if you make them work out. Try to take bold decisions and stand for that decision.

Don't look back at the past, this is the final step to meet your fs. Just keep going.

Pile 4

Cards : Strength, 9 of cups, 4 of swords

You lack compassion for your own self. You are someone who gives everything to others but feels bad for giving it to yourself. You may connect well with plants and animals or just nature in general. Try to work on your self worth and don't critisize yourself too much.

You have many things to deal with right now. You have many parts unhealed. Try to relax and rejuvenate more physically as well as mentally and spiritually. It'll be good for your overall well being. Try to play with pets or just stroll in nature for sometime to refresh your mind.

You feel like there's so much competition somehow (?) And try to give yourself small rewards for accomplishing tasks. Try to celebrate your small successes please. You need to celebrate yourself more in order to attract the right partner for yourself.

You need to be in the energy of self love and good self worth to attract good partners who emit the same frequency. Do you understand? Lots of love to you.

Being Ohma Tokita's adopted child

Characters: Ohma, Kazuo, Kaede (one mention), Koga, Ryuki

gn!child!reader, hurt/comfort, first part is about Kengan Ashura and the second about Kengan Omega (there will be an Omega spoiler warning!)

If it wasn't for Ohma, you would be dead by now. You barely would have had a chance at life.

Born as the child to a prostitute on The Inside and without your biological father anywhere near the first years of your life were... rough. You don't remember any of it, but your mother really tried her best to take care of you.

Until she was murdered.

Ohma found you by coincidence. And normally he wouldn't have cared about a lonely toddler on the streets. Death is a daily occurrence on The Inside, after all.

There was just something different about you. Something that made Ohma decide to take care of you for the time being. Maybe for a few weeks or months, just long enough for him to find someone who could take better care of you than he could.

Ohma never ended up giving you away. He couldn't get himself to do it.

One day you suddenly called him "dada" and that was when he realised how fatherly he felt for you. And he realised if he gave you away, he'd only worry about how your life would continue without him.

He promised to himself to raise you into a strong fighter so you can defend yourself even when he's not around.

You were 5 at the time when Ohma became a Kengan fighter. It was odd because you weren't used to being around so many people so you would always stay at Ohma's side.

You quickly got attached to Kazuo and Kaede and ended up clinging to them whenever Ohma was in a fight.

At first Ohma was critisized for bringing you along, especially when he took you to the Kengan Annihilation tournament, but that criticism went down when everyone noticed how much you love to watch Ohma (and everyone else) fight.

Especially when it became obvious how eager you are to become a fighter when you'd grow up, people stopped critisizing Ohma for the most part. After all, he's trying to raise someone who might become one of the strongest Kengan fighters of the next generation.

KENGAN OMEGA SPOILERS BEGIN BELOW THE IMAGE

After Ohma's "death" Kazuo decided to take custody over you. He's already raised two sons, so how hard could it be to raise you as well? It definitely was a lot harder than he expected.

Besides his new job and new life situation in general he was mourning Ohma's death just as much as you were. But every time you seemed to get better, Kazuo started healing a little more as well.

Despite the fact that you're not Ohma's biological child, Kazuo could always see parts of him in you. That motivated Kazuo to raise you into the fighter Ohma had planned.

Other Kengan fighters would help with your training and introduced you to all sorts of fighting styles. You learned the many techniques you were taught by them a lot quicker than any other child your age would, which impressed everyone.

When Koga showed up you got attached to him surprisingly quickly. To him, you're something like the little sibling he never had. You also ended up calling him "Nii-san" at some point because you spent so much time with him.

When you first met Ryuki, you were the first one to not mistake him for Ohma. At first you didn't want to be near Ryuki at all, but soon started feeling some sense of security around him. In some ways he still reminded you of your father who you missed so much.

And then everything turned around. The entire time, Ohma wasn't actually dead.

He hated how he couldn't be there for you the past two years, but what he hated even more was the thought of bringing you into danger.

The moment Ohma finally got to reuinite with you was the first and only time he cried in front of you. It wasn't much, but you could see the tears forming in his eyes.

If you liked this, please remember to reblog and write some tags! It's the easiest way to support me and reading them motivates me a lot!

Guys I NEED to rant about my thoughts on Nuru because i love her <3 ramblings ahead

Like I feel like in almost every fic i read, she's just like, a side character that's there to make whitty remarks to Hugo and be the levelheaded one. If she has an insecurity or problem it's usually pretty surface level and solved quickly, or only mentioned once or twice. I think there are SO many aspects of her character that are so cool.

Okay first, I think we sometimes forget that she's a nerd just like the rest of the gang. Yes, on the outside she's definetly the most 'normal' one, but I think we should concider the fact that she's the only girl in the group, and she's literal royalty. She was raised with a completely different set of standards than the other three. I don’t think I've really ever seen anyone cover that. I feel like she would get called "mature for her age" when she's only 15/16, and almost always gets critisism when she talks back with her own ideas (like her concerns about the meteor shows for example). I feel like out on her journey, she would finally get the freedom to just be herself, and be a kid and be able to rant on about her intrests with the rest of the group. It could be a struggle at first, but it would be awesome to see her getting more comfortable with the group the longer they spend together! Nerds encouraging nerdy rants lol

Since she is a kingdom figurehead, you could also argue that she always has a lot on her hands (especially since she's very proactive when it comes to science and solving problems). This could bring up a need to be productive, or always feeling like she needs to make the right decision, even for the littlest things.

I also feel like a lot of the time she's potrayed as the "right" one, who is 100% right when it comes to stuff like arguing with Hugo. Since they're opposites when it comes to class, they often are compared through that lense. I think it's cool just having Nuru tell Hugo off for judging a book by its cover, but I feel like they have a lot more in common than they realize. I think it would be interesting to see Nuru judging a book by its cover too. Maybe not to the degree that Hugo does, but I feel like calling out both their judging would not only call out character flaws, but it also enforces that even though they hate eachother and would never want to be like the other, they have a lot of the same flaws.

Also, being sheltered in a palace her whole life, I think she might think kind of black and white sometimes, and while she knows when people are just being mean as an act, she might struggle when it comes to people like reformed criminals.

Maybe she's able to be meaner to Hugo because she justifies it by telling herself he's criminal, and therefore bad, possibly glossing over the reasons he might be like that (maybe it crosses her mind, but she tells herself it's not a good enough reason, because stealing is still stealing, and he literally steals EVERYTHING. Even little trinkets and stuff he definitely doesn't need!). When they find out about Varian's criminal history, maybe she reexamines her views on morality and how she used to see people, because by her standards, Varian is a 'bad guy' who's caused harm to SO many people, but he's also the kind, caring, helpful friend that she's been traveling with who would never willingly hurt anyone.

Moving on to Amber x Nuru, I honestly never find myself liking the ship because Amber isn't developed enough which is fine. I don't think every character has to be a magnificent work of art. Side characters are side characters, but their romance is usually written like: "wow that girl is cute! I have a crush now!" Which is cool, but then that's about as far as it gets, then timeskip! Or offscreen they're a couple now. I know it's a side couple so it won't have as much devlopment as something like Varigo, but I never really see their dynamic play out in different situations. Like I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like they solely exist to be a couple? Amber sometimes just feels like an extention of Nuru, and their relationship feels surface level a lot of the time.

I feel like too often she's just watered down to the nice, smart, grounded friend, and I don't know I just think there’s so much more to explore with her. She’s not just some side character. She's literally part of the main cast! Even in fanart I feel like she doesn't really get a lot of stuff besides funny art and just like, pictures meant to look pretty. Unlike something you get a lot with characters like Varian or Hugo.

And honestly I get it. Some characters you just don't take an intrest in. I know I find Varian, Hugo, and Nuru more relatable than I find Yong, but I feel like part of that is developing their characters rather than just seeing them on a surface level. Ofc there are exceptions and there are some stories that dive deeper into Nuru's character out there! I just happen to see this A LOT.

Wow i said "surface level" a lot didn't I 😭😭

Anyway thank you for reading my rant i wanna know what you guys think!!

Lenny's found family

Lenny cannot get into contact with his real family as some have passed and the others he stay away from for their own safety due to the price on his head, so it is no surprise that he has found family with the group he is with, the gang.

The person who mostly seems like family to Lenny, is Hosea, a replacement to his biological father that is so close he might as well be. Hosea calls Lenny his son on several occations, opens up to him about being sick and doesn't invalidate him, similarly Lenny comes to Hosea with his worries and troubles, he checks up on him and asks him about how things are going.

Hosea, similarly to Lenny's actual dad, wants Lenny to escape the gang life and to become a lawyer. He compliments Lenny when he talks about how he robbed some people who wished to lynch him and he encourages Lenny to keep reading. It is a cery clear father/son relationship the two have, one that can in a way be mirrored to Hosea's and Arthurs.

Now when it comes to Lenny and Dutch, Dutch actually for once seems to loose his cool and get outsmarted. The two spend a lot of time talking about ideals and Evelyn Miller, Dutch's hero, and Lenny is not shy of critisism. Calling Dutch out on the fact that Evelyn "speaks prettily" but really says nothing new and that he is "on vacation with the lower classes", causing Dutch to stutter and angrily placing his book down.

While Dutch does seem to enjoy talking with Lenny about politics and everything for the majority of the time, he does seem to fall behind sometimes, unable to keep up with Lenny's inteligence. Ben (Dutch's va) also revealed that Lenny's inteligence and the fact he is able to disagree with Dutch, is a massively important fact in one of the small side stories that we don't get told right to our faces, that being Hosea preparing the gang to go on without him. Lenny is meant to be Hosea's replacement and I think that places Lenny in such an interesting posision, because he is Hosea's "son" yet he is being groomed into being better than him, he is also being taught to disagree with Dutch, but not too much because then Dutch might get annoyed. He is on that fine line.

Speaking of "son", there is another character calling Lenny his son, Bill, Bill does it. I elaborated more on this in my Bill army post , in short: Bill really likes Lenny, he loves going out on missions with him and after they finish a job that was Lenny's idea, Bill shouts to everyone around how great Lenny was and offers him a drink. Bill does however also act aggressively with Lenny when he is annoyed, but it is more that he is confused where to place his anger more than racism (read the post before coming at my throat, thanks), and Lenny doesn't seem to care much for it either, he is even seen chuckling.

One person he however does not chuckle around is Micah, when Micah goes after Lenny, he quickly gets on guard, watching himself and Micah for any annoyances.

Lenny and Arthur also have a very siblingly bond, Arthur being protective and stepping in to help with the stage coach robbery and the time when they go to Shady Belle, Lenny is also shown rolling his eyes when Arthur makes fun of him, yet looking happy when Arthur calls him smart.

Now you cannot talk about Lenny and his relations to the gang without talking about Sean. Sean is the only person that Lenny can actually relax around, because while Lenny is a very patient, calm and inteligent person, together with Sean we see him be silly and laugh and just have fun. At the same time Lenny is seen trying to share one of the things that brings him joy with Sean, reading, Lenny loves to read and he tries to give that piece of joy to Sean too, but Sean isn't the most interested, yet Lenny pushes on.

Little crush

AN: Hi! This is the first time I am posting sometning here and i hope you like it. I got the idea from @darylsgarden. Any constructive critisism is apreciated. Also english isn't my first language so i apologize in advance for any gramar and punctuacion mistakes.

Word count: 678

Daryl stood in the buzzing high school hallway ,fidgeting with his locker, watching you. There you were. With your back to him, happily chatting with your friends, laughing at whatever one of your girlfriends has said. With your shining hair, framing your beautiful face, an angel like smile grazing your lips. God, you were perfect.

So beautiful. Nothing like him. Not some white trash reddneck.

 He turned around. He’d been watching you for months. Weeks and weeks of secretly sneaking glances at you in class or in the hallway. But only that. Nothing more.

He didn’t have the courage to go and talk with you, only to be met with rejection and mocking laugh. He couldn’t. And what other reaction could you have. He was just damaged goods. What could you possibly see in him beside that?

Thinking that, he went into class. He entered the classroom and plopped down in his seat. Next think he knows you sit in the seat beside his. You glance at him and shoot him a small smile.Fuck.

He turns the opposite side, his face growing redder by the second. There is no way you just smiled at him, no. You probably were looking at someone else in his direction. That must be it. No other reason, he tries to convince himself. No way she is smilin' at ya, dumbass

The whole day you were somewhere around him. The table beside his at lunch, the desk next to him at class. Always smiling at him. At some point he decided you knew about his crush at you and were mocking him. But how could you know? He’s never told anyone. He didn’t even have someone to tell it to. So this couldn’t be it. So why were you smiling at him?

~~~~~~~~~~

Later the same day Daryl was at the supermarket in town. He needed to grab a few things to make himself something to eat. He was just about to go and check out when he saw you.

You were wearing a red sundres, that was making you look even better. You were triyng to reach an item from a higher schelf and failing miserably. You were on your tip toes, with a streched out arm, fingertips barelly missing the item you were trying to grab.

That was his chance. He can go and help you,starting a conversation. But could he. He wasnt like his older brother,Merle,full of confidence. But if he didn't do it, there probably wasn't going to be another oportunity to leave a good first imresion. Fuck it he thought.

He went to you and grabed the item you were strugling to get. Handing it to you, he looked for the first time at your face from that close. You were even more beautiful from closer. Eyes with vibrant colour and such perfectly shaped features. Your eyebrows were lightly raised in slight surprise.

But then you smiled at him. Such a sweet smile, directed directly to him and only for him. You were gorgeous. that was the only thought in his head until he heard your sweet voice.

"Thank you,Daryl" you said in that sweet voice of yours. You were looking expectanly at him. Respond ya dumbass! Cant ya see she's waiting for you?

"N-No problem. Yur welcome" he said and baschfuly ducked his head, scraching his neck. He stood there not knowing what to say, luckily you said something.

'Well, again, thank you. I will see you tomorow at school." you said and with that you squezed his hand, that was still outstreched to you. After that you went your way, turning around once but Dryl didn't saw you.

Daryl was satring at his hand that you had just squezed. He couldn't believe it. You, the girl of his dreams had just touched him. He could still lightly feel your hand on his. I'm never wasching my hand again.

I wonder how long it will take for Taylor to drop Blake Lively from her squad, since she's getting so much backlash for the way she's promoting "it ends with us".

Or maybe Blake and Ryan's money and power and racism will keep them in Taylor's circle, despite the critisism.

Dear friend, I am wondering too.

I suppose time will tell-

Personally, I think that Swift will keep the friendship going because many people who support that nasty book, and Collen Hoover, also support Taylor Swift. There is a great deal of overlap between the three fandoms involved here Swift, Hoover, and Lively. That being said, I imagine it is more beneficial for her to publicly continue her friendship with Blake- so she will be labeled as a "stand-by-you" type of friend- at least it will be so within her own fandom bubble.

That narrative would also help her current image problem with people who think she is a flakey person- or a fair-weather friend.

Besides her image regulation, I imagine Swift will want to keep Lively as a friend for her deep pockets, connections to the elite of NYC, and her power in Hollywood. I think it's clear Swift has tried to break into acting a whole bunch of times- to very little avail- but clearly will still want to keep those business connections strong.

Thus- I don't really see Swift dropping Lively. Unless- of course, the media issues get worse.

But neither of them drew a line as racism- or at the very least being complicit in reenforcing white supremacist imagery in their work/ personal lives- so, ya know, birds of a feather flock together.

(I am watching this movie go up in flames with popcorn at the ready. I think Collen Hoover is a terrible writer. It is abhorrent to me that she was ever published at all. "It Ends with Us" sends a terrible message to young girls. The only reason this trash is getting a movie is because Blake Lively saw a cash-grab opportunity because the book is popular with bored middle-aged women or braindead tik-tokers. None of these people care about DV issues or protecting vulnerable women- it's all about "grab your florals and your gal pals for a cutesy rom-com about an abusive relationship." I'm so tired of all these morally corrupt people with deep pockets controlling what stories get told- and to who they are told. So, I am enjoying the fact that Lively is being caught out as a disingenuous person.)

[heartofwolfe]

Whole reason i made a new blog Can i get a word about eurylochus. Im sure other people have said it but if so then ill gladly add on the noise. I dont think hes as hypocritical and bad as some people have made him out to be? And i want to go over his crimes one by one, to bring them to a less exaggerated ground.

"He was going to abandon those men in Circe's island, therefore he had no right rebelling against Odysseus after Scylla."

I need us all to review both situations for a second. With Circe, Eurylochus witnessed what she's capable of, he KNEW Odysseus wouldn't be able to take her. Between losing his captain (and KING) and "cut their losses", it was probably logical for him to leave those men behind in place of losing any more lives or Odysseus himself. Had he known Hermes would show up to help, I'm sure he wouldn't have been so adamant on leaving. He's the voice of the crew, after all.

But Scylla? Odysseus withheld the information of what they were going to encounter in that lair. Odysseus deliberately made him light up torches (one of which would've been for HIM) that would sentence the 6 men that'd carry them. Of course, upon realizing this was his plan, he'd be mad. And we have to realize the rest of the crew are just as sentient as Eurylochus: Seeing their king give up 6 lives like they're nothing for the sake of getting home to his wife... how do they know they won't be next? The 3 men at Circe could've left like Eurylochus did, it was a slip, but Scylla was a choice. (A choice I think was the best outcome! Im not coming for Odysseus here, and I acknowledge and agree it was probably the safest way to get through Scylla. But it doesn't negate the feelings of the crew).

"He opened the wind bag and it got over 500 men killed! With that body count, he was still hypocrital to critisize Odysseus for sacrificing 6 men to Scylla"

I mean, yeah, if we leave it at that. Why don't we ask Poseidon what would've happened to Ithaca if they arrived at the shore instead of being sent to him directly?

Yes, opening the bag is breaking Odysseus' trust. He did wrong at this. But if we are gonna get nitpicky, Odysseus shouldn't have revealed his name to the Cyclops at all— Or just kill him, like Poseidon and Athena told him he should've done. I think they're both at fault for this, and even then, killing his fleet over the entirety of Ithaca is probably the best outcome somehow.

But like, overall, I just don't think we can use the 500 men excuse to throw bricks at this man. No one, not even Odysseus, realized they pissed off Poseidon by hurting Polyphemus and that's where the storm was coming. It's just cruel and it is very obvious it weighted not only on Odysseus but on Eurylochus as well.

"He killed Helios' cow despite Odysseus warning! And then got mad at Odysseus when he didn't sacrifice himself for the crew?"

I feel like he is a little unfair for getting mad at the end, but it is also just very human. We can think of it logically because it is a story we are witnessing, but most if not all of us would've lashed out and felt betrayed if our lives ended because our closest friend (and person that was supposed to look out for us) needed to see their lover.

And the cow... I need you guys to put yourself in his shoes again. Eurylochus didn't believe they'd make it home, he had given up on life, he couldn't trust his brother in arms to bring him home alive anymore. And hunger is so heavy (sorry). Between dying of starvation or drowned by Poseidon, and dying swiftly by divine intervention for pissing off Helios, he probably didn't care (and, like, if he didn't do it someone else in the crew would've. Is the thing.)

I actually think it's such a well done thing, the way he kills the cow because he gave up but deep down doesn't actually want to die— Which is why he gets desperate and seeks for Odysseus' guidance once again when he realizes what he's done. The cow is probably the hardest thing to defend from him, but i think it is so human. And so tragic.

And I need to clarify again— This isn't against Odysseus! I think he makes so many mistakes and is so selfish but also human in a way, I can see where every character is coming from in this musical. And the Odyssey is about a man losing his humanity in a journey back home, so his actions have to be. Bad. But there's a treatment of this characters that ends up coming off as a disservice to each of them. Using Eurylochus as a scapegoat to make Odysseus look better just feels like missing the point of both and their complexities to me. Cause even after defending Eurylochus here, none of these actions are entirely justifiable! He IS hypocritical and selfish as well, and maybe a bit cruel at times. But he's not the root of all evil. If he were, Odysseus wouldn't be the lead.

This post is pretty over the place, so I apologize!it isn't meant to be read as an essay or anything too serious despite the tone that might come off of it. I'm just mostly voicing my thoughts about these characters re: some takes I've seen here and there in other platforms that I can't go too much in detail about. Would love to hear other thoughts, agreeing or disagreeing, although i might not respond too in detail. Also please befriend me i need friends into epic LOL

Welcome new Transformers fans!

You might have seen this Don't Make Me Tap The Sign meme floating around. Transformers One has been out for a little while now so I want to expand on it as well as some other TF fandom things.

What does "Transformers doesn't have a set canon" actually mean?

Essentially, every new Transformers story is a reboot. They might draw from or expand on concepts from previous iterations but canonically each continuity family is separate. This means all lore is extremely flexible - origin stories, relationships, even personalities can change wildly between iterations and while some may be better or worse than others, they are all equally canon.

For example: Orion Pax was a dock worker in G1, an archivist in Prime, and a miner in TF One. None of these contradict each other.

Continuities also tend to share ideas without being directly connected. For example Transformers One draws from Transformers Prime in multiple ways (e.g. it features Airachnid) but it is not a prequel to Prime and in fact directly contradicts it. Yes I know there's a guy on xitter claiming tfone is a prequel to the Bay movies but he's wrong.

What is a continuity family?

Most storylines include tie-in novels, comics, video games, and other shows that all share the same canon.

The Aligned Continuity is the most well known. It consists of Transformers Prime, Rescue Bots, Rescue Bots Academy, Robots in Disguise 2015, multiple video games, and some tie-in novels and comics. They are all ostensibly set in the same canon... except the Aligned Continuity is inconsistent so even its lore is loose :')

My point is that while every continuity is separate, some shows are connected.

(Sorry if this is confusing. It is confusing. You get used to it)

What about fanon?

The Transformers franchise is old enough that a lot of fanon has become so pervasive it exists in a sort of nebulous space where it feels like it could be canon or at least become canon once enough fans are working for Hasbro but essentially: oh boy is there a lot of fanon

For example: seeker trines, doorwing speak, the Unicron Singularity and all forms of robot sex (sorry) are fanon, but they appear so often in fanworks that it's easy to get confused (I know I do!)

It's safest to assume something isn't canon unless you've seen it in a show (and even then, it may only be canon to that particular show)

Can I mix-and-match in my own fanworks?

Absolutely! It's very common for creators to set a story in one continuity but transplant a character from another, or use a different backstory, or borrow whole plot points from different canons. Chop up that lore and make a delicious continuity soup.

So why is this important?

It is very, very, very, very, very frustrating to be "corrected" about something that isn't relevant, or to see someone critisize a show based on lore that doesn't apply, or to have a character be called OOC when they're not, etc. I think a lot of fandom slapfights could be avoided if more people understood how loose Transformers canon actually is. Do what you want with your own creations but please be mindful when it comes to interacting with other people's.

This is A Lot

You don't have to know everything about Transformers to be in the fandom and have a good time - if you're only interested in TF One that is perfectly alright, you don't need to watch every show and read every comic and play every game to be considered a fan of something.

But if you want to find out more I recommend checking out the TFWiki - it isn't perfect but it gives a good rundown of most general lore as well as details about specific shows.

That's it from me. I hope this is helpful! It's the sort of thing I would have liked to read when I first joined the fandom haha

Spring 2024 General Reading

pick a number 1-4 OR an emoji 🥅 🎭 🤥 ✈️

(ps. this reading is for practice and for fun)

1.🥅 A brief look at the spread first. The focus here is definitely on work or studies. It looks like it's time for you to make big choices regarding the path you want to be on and to take full leadership of it. Maybe you are considering a new path, but hard work is required. And a whole lot of patience. Time management and working on bringing everything into balance and harmony. Also, timing is a huge factor. It does seem that you will yourself remain quite optimistic and be even rather excited about the future. But there will be worries and stress coming from the outside. Perhaps people around you aren't as optimistic as you are or perhaps there will be a few hurdles to overcome. But there will be some surprising good and exciting news, too, coming in. In the end, it's all about perseverance for you this season. To just keep going and not rush. Pay attention to your surroundings, but it looks like, if you do your best to be prepared, you'll do fine. Also, you could have a new interest (hobby, subject, etc) this spring. Alright, let's look at the extra messages that came through for you. Memorizing. So perhaps, if you are a student, it will be really important to focus on how to best memorize what you study. Also, application. Not only to memorize but also, to focus on how to apply them to things. Painting the picture and looking at the bigger picture and contexts. But it does look like you will possess a stronger mental state of clarity this spring. And also, from the perspective of painting the image of your future in your mind. Now is the time to be clear about it, but also, it's the perfect timing to work on it. To work on opening doors for yourself. A lot about dreaming and envisioning. But also, to be receptive. That's why timing and patience is important, so you have the time to feel it out, to feel the waves. The cards are also saying that you are ready and that you are ready for more. Like said, whether it's regarding education or career or both. And since you seem to be rather optimistic this month, perhaps you can spread it a bit around yourself as well. Allow people to learn from you. If you have to do any kind of performances or presentations, it looks like you'll do well. And if that helps at all, you have a whole lot of hope coming in, new beginnings and infinite blessings.

2.🎭 A brief look at the spread first. It looks like you might be dealing with criticism. It kinda looks like it's going to be important to put yourself out there, maybe some performances or presentations, but either way, you don't seem to take criticism well or you have insecurities. It feels like you are in competition with someone about attention, maybe something like who is doing it better. But you will have your opportunity to shine, so just be you. Perhaps you'll have to make some adjustments and bring things into balance. Maybe you are managing two paths at the same time or you are playing with your options. Steady wins the race this spring. It does look like you have support and help around you this spring. But you'll have to take the lead. Your strengths could be tested as well. So perhaps you will realize something new about your personal strengths. But it also looks like it will be important to focus on your health as well. Patience will be required, but it looks like things will improve for you. And it looks like some healing will be happening. Especially physical and possibly related to your self-image. But overall, this spring routine will be important and consistant effort. Also, it looks like indeed you could be surrounded by gossips, as it seems there are eyes on you and people talking about you, spying on you, perhaps critisizing you. And also, weight loss came through for this pile. Alright, then the extra messages. Indeed, it does seem you have to work on your self-confidence. The cards are talking about learning to create an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable. Learning to relax and how to achieve mental peace. Indeed, you will have some decisions to make. It's important to focus on starting things, on activation. To take the first steps towards resolutions. This could also be related to your health. Again there is going to be healing and also healing in regards to your health, physical health or self-image, self-esteem. You seem to also have some lessons to learn this spring. But there is also assistance in the cards for you. If you are into studying, history is coming through as well. Maybe it's history as a school subject or topic or it could even be a historical play! But something like that is coming through for this pile. Again a level-up is coming through and it looks like abundance is coming into your life and happier times. Perhaps because you won't need to worry so much about financial problems anymore, so you can relax more. Things to be grateful for. This spring is a good time to focus on gratitude and also on appreciation. Like appreciating life and your body. And also, allowing yourself to be shown appreciation. It also would be good for you to tap more into a relaxed state of mind and being and just enjoy life, remembering to not always take everything too seriously and to just have a bit of fun.

3.🤥 A brief look at the spread first. It looks like maybe the speed has been too fast and now rest is much needed. The spread looks like you have a lot of new going on or a lot of projects going on. Honestly, your spread, it's missing direction. It doesn't have one. There is this and there is that and a bit of that, too, but it's missing a clear, distinct direction. Also, it looks like there is a lesson about things not always going your way. To be frank, there is a bit of a snobby vibe coming from you. Like you think you know it all and that you know everything, but the cards say you don't. First of all, your path won't be as clear as you'd expect it to be this spring. As things are not going as expected, it seems to make you stuck in your head. You just can't seem to think outside the box. Secondly, you can not have everything you want. You'll have to prioritize. Also, it looks like, if you fully pack your schedule, you won't be as happy as you thought you'd be about it. For example you'll find yourself too busy to be able to go out and enjoy the good weather alone or with others. It's not necessarily regrets, but simply realizing too late that you shouldn't have fully packed your schedule. You'll struggle to manage everything you need to. And also, like said before, things won't go as you'd expect them to. It looks like there is a whole new door going to open for you and it's a door you never considered or even knew about. For example it could be about a job or a school. The cards are saying it's a blessing and it's going to be a dream come true. Like you'll end up finding yourself in the right place at the right time at the right door connecting with the right people. You are going to be realigned into where you should be, instead of where you think you should be. So, no matter how much you think you are in control, you are not that much in control. Except for whatever you choose to do with your timetable. Then the extra messages. First, you'll need to remove some distractions. You'll need to be more conscious about, how you spend your time and also the steps you take moving forward. It seems to be quite a time of creativity for you as well, so that's one more reason why, too, you need to remove excessive distractions. You really can create so much, use your creativity. And let go of the sense of urgency. Because feeling urgent can also be a source of distractions. Remember that there is the right time for everything, so try to relax a bit. It also looks like you are dealing with the concept of freedom and that you should know that you are not alone. The universe is helping you, so, stay optimistic. And once again, something magical is going to happen to you, but it's something you definitely do not see coming. It's a total surprise. It's a dream come true. The cards are also suggesting to try to tap more into your heart space. Be honest with yourself about what you are passionate about, what inspires you and what you truly like. It's okay to be different. But accept other people's differences as well.

4.✈️ A bried look at the spread first. You really have stepped up your game! It looks like you are not sure about your next step, though, like what is really the best path for you. But it looks like this could be a dream shared with others? Maybe something having to do with languages. You definitely have the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one this spring. But don't exhaust yourself by overthinking too much. There will be clarity! You'll find the right keys! And the good news is that this spring you won't give up, you'll have a strong will. Just that the process seems to not be that easy and that's why your perseverance is truly tested this spring. To be honest, everything will work out in the end. You'll get all the facts you need, all the answers you need. It does seem you will be dealing with perhaps some official paperwork like maybe applying for a visa. It's just something like that is coming through. Maybe you'll have to take a language exam or something to get approved or you need to have really good grades, etc. Like you need to get everything sorted out, do your research, do the papers, etc. It looks like this is something you are really, truly passionate about and now your time has come. Also, there could be a bit of competition surrounding you this spring, like in the sense of jealousy. Then the extra messages. Basically, the cards are saying that, if there is a goal or something you wish to achieve, you need to take the first step, to start, to begin. And then observation. You will be observed and you benefit from taking observation as well. Be practical. And join forces with other people, teaming up could be beneficial to you this spring. You have so many messages about being a part of a group. So joining groups, being active in the community, friendships and all relationships in general will be important this spring. Sensitivity and the strength of being you. Don't let anyone dim your light. Just be you. Also, the cards are talking about you being given signs, so pay attention. And it seems there is something you are right about, the cards just want you to know that. For example in exams, you know the right answers, so be more self-confident. Remember the bigger picture. But also, it's good to take a more fresh approach sometimes. Perhaps people around you could inspire you or show you the other side of things. So keep and open mind. And one more thing is travel or perhaps simply change in location.

MCSM Ship Dynamics

╰────── · · ୨୧ · · ──────╯

(Just how I think different MCSM ships would work + my overall thoughts and opinons on them !!!

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱

Jesse x Lukas

Jesse and Lukas are like the bread and butter of MCSM ships, very basic but beloved for their closeness and banter. Jesse, no matter which route you take or choices you make, is a more extroverted character that is a strong leader. Generally, Jesse cares very much about their friends and is a pretty friendly person. It's mostly up to how the person individually perceives Jesse, but the most common interpretation of Jesse I've seen in Jesskas is that Jesse learns to admire Lukas as they travel together. Lukas usually falls for them as well, but in the "He fell first they fell harder" kind of way, lukas being the former.

I've also seen some interpretations of Jesse having a little crush on Lukas at the beginning of MCSM because they think he's cool. Overall, I think Jesskas would be a pretty healthy ship.

The two of them admire each other, and they accentuate each other's strengths well! Jesse got Lukas out of his shell and pushed him to improve, and Lukas hyped Jesse up and helped them grow into the hero they were in season 2.

Lukas as a character in season 1 doesn't exactly have confidence. Though he does have faith in some of his own strengths, and is the most likely character out of Olivia, Axel, and Jesse to disagree with Jesse, he still is always trying to keep people happy and try to keep conflict to a minimum. Not being an aggressive character doesn't mean he won't stand up for himself when needed, though. Even though Lukas wasn't exactly the leader of the Ocelots, they still sort of listened to him and considered his opinions in a way, so Lukas could probably hold his own on Aiden in an argument. The reason Lukas didn't argue with them as much was most likely because he believed that the Ocelots could change, but when he was proven wrong the arguments became more frequent and he got kicked out.

Jesse and Lukas in season 2 are very clearly closer, and it seems like they'd been hanging out a lot more before everyone became too busy to see each other more often. Still, in season 2, Lukas is belittled by Romeo, who brings up his old insecurities. He sees through Romeo's disguise because he and Jesse always lift each other up and encourage the other to improve. Lukas also seems to be a character that would show affection through words - like cheering people on or subtle physical affection - like a high five and the ever so often hug. Jesse, Olivia, and Axel definitely have become his safe place after the Ocelots kicked him out.

The only real critisism I can think of for Jesskas is that there was a lot of mischaracterization of Lukas in the past, and still some in the present, along with it kind of overshadowing a lot of other characters and ships.

Jesskas is very overdone, but there's nothing wrong with that! It's cute, albeit very basic. I don't really ship it, but I see where people are coming from, and it has the potential to be very cute!

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱

Jesse x Petra

Again, Jesse and Petra are a pretty basic, bread and jam type of ship. It's a little more complex than Lukas and Jesse, but not by much honestly. Petra is also a bit of a cool girl archetype, someone who's generally closed off from other people and doesn't like showing weakness due to fear of being seen as just that - weak. Only her weaknesses. She has trouble staying in one place for long or getting attached to things, but when she does, Petra holds on tight. While Lukas is just about as extroverted as Jesse, Petra is more introverted and selfish. She looks out for herself.

It's difficult to pin a characer for Jesse since, honestly, the different routes and such make it seem like every person who plays MCSM will get their own individual Jesse character. Also, because of lacking writing, which makes Jesse kind of has the amount of character of a peanut shell most of the time ... but I guess that again, that makes Jesse's character mostly up to individual interpretation. With Jesstra, I've noticed people seem to pin Jessie as a person that likes physical affection, so them and Petra tend to bond over fighting and sparring.

Petra is probably mostly averse to physical affection and touch - she seems more like someone who would do acts of service, being a mercenary and all. Jesstra seems like a ship where they would be sparring and flirt with each other through complimenting each other's moves + lovingly beating the shit out of each other. In a healthy way, though! After sparring, I think they would take care of any bruises or harm that was caused together.

When Petra was super closed off and mysterious, Jesse was the one to get her to start talking to more people. They were one of Petra's first really close friends, and that meant a lot to her. They were also the one that forced Petra to realize she couldn't stay stagnant forever and expect things to never change. She had to grow up and move on.

I can see the appeal with their compiments and banter during fights and sparring, as well as Jesse leaving Beacontown at the end of season 2 to go travel the world with Petra. A very healthy ship as well!

To be honest, we really need more focus on the smaller sapphic and wlw ships in the MCSM fandom, in my opinion. This ship probably is the gateway a lot of people get into those through, so I thank it very much for that. Not only that, but it's a pretty cute ship! Again, I don't exactly ship it, I don't really ship anyone with Jesse because I don't find Jesse that interesting.

As for faults with this ship, from what I've seen, the characterization of Petra is pretty good, but because Jesse is a lot less complex in comparison to her, it feels kind of empty on one side.

Anyways, I can definitely see where you guys are coming from! I personally do love dynamics like this one, so I think it's pretty good!

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱

Jack x Nurm

Boy, oh boy, old man yaoi !! (just jokes, guys, please don't kill me). While Nurm speaks in villager, Jack is able to understand him completely fine. They both seem to have a very deep understanding of each other anyway. They give the vibes of adventurer husbands who traveled the world together in their youth. By now, they're pretty much done with adventuring and want to settle down together and live in peace. And they deserve it!

You can tell just by hearing them talk that they've spent many an adventure together, fighting alongside the other and tending to each other's wounds. If they have any child relatives, I'm sure they'll be the favorite relative just for the sheer amount of cool stories they can tell.

Jack has a lot of respect for Nurm as a cartographer, and Nurm respects Jack's physical strength. Nurm is probably more the brains of the two, more quick witted and smart. The only thing is, Jack is one of the only people who can really understand him. That probably got them to be much closer than any of their other party members, anyways.

Also, not to mention, they live together. They are married guys trust me. (You don't have to take that serious dw) The only thing I could possibly think of as critisism is that it's kind of weird that Nurm is a villagerx but he's proven that he's just as intelligent as any player, so it's fine. Besides, it seems like people have universally accepted that they are married or in love, at least, from what I've seen.

꒰ ୨୧ ─ ・┈ ・ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ─ ・┈ ꒱꒱

((If you want me to talk about a specific ship, you can just ask !!! ( ´���｀ )b))

Never feel scared to ask me anything !! I live when people send asks, or just interact with me in any way at all BSNANDND

[tomssexdoll]

You said you wanted requests? Well, I wanted to request something then. Firstly, hello. Now, my request.

2008 Tom with a fem reader who is also part of a band and plays guitar just like him. They're like perfect for each other. But the reader is a bit introverted, so some of Tom's "fans" don't like her, etc.

Thanks :)

hellloo!!! tysm for the req love <3

PAIRINGS: Tom 2008 x Female reader CONTENT: FLUFF SYPNOSIS: Tom and Y/N are together and are both in the band Tokio hotel, they both play guitar. Y/N is always getting critisized by their fans, girls attacking her for her looks, personality and that she's slightly introverted. She doesn't listen to them but sometimes it gets to her, they make rumors about her on the daily but Tom loves her to bits and tells her not to listen to them and that they're jealous shes in his bed at the end of the day. A/N: this will be short and sweet :)

I'm in the band Tokio hotel, I play guitar along with my boyfriend. My best friends Bill, Gustav and Georg are also in it. Bill is the singer, Georg is the bassist and Gustav is the drummer. They are all super sweet and make me feel super welcome, we've been friends for years and only recently I joined the band because Bill needed extra help with the guitar.

I got with Tom a year after we became friends, we were 15 and it was like love at first sight.

A lot Toms fans HATE me, they talk so much shit about me for no reason, critizing every little thing, especially because I'm a little bit introverted. They say he could never be with someone as quiet as me, as fat or ugly as me. I never take it to heart but sometimes it hurts.

Me and Tom are in love, the love you find in movies, the corny type of love you wish you had in real life. He treats me like a queen, always boasting about me and bragging about how beautiful I am, of course the fans get mad at this but he always shuts it down, he's not afraid to stand up for me and it's the cutest thing ever.

One time on a podcast he was calling out the fans, saying how rude the fans can be and how it affects me sometimes. On their youtube channel and his facebook he posts short clips of me playing guitar, usually not realising he's filming. The comments blow up with hateful things but he always rolls his eyes when seeing them, deleting the really mean ones.

One of the really fucked up rumors is that I had cheated on him with Bill, they said it's weird how close I was to him and that I was probably fucking him behind Tom's back, they had the weirdest proof ever, some were photoshopped so poorly and some were really convincing, but he never believed them. He always laughed at it, the attempts to ruin our relationship were so weird.

Even though he's very extroverted and I'm a bit shy, we are perfect for each other. We enjoy almost the same things, eat the same foods, sleep perfectly, fuck perfectly, kiss perfectly. Sometimes to make the fans jealous I'll post pictures of us in bed or him kissing me.

[sanderssideswriting]

So I decided to take a quick snoop on twitter, with what's been going on the last day or so. And I and horrified to report that Twitter is somewhat aware of our existence. And this post in particular is pissing me off, so let's break it down.

So, the screenshot that op on twitter posted, it's hard to see because of the cropping but if you squint you can see that the anon says; "Maybe Thomas will understand that when he gives zero communication with fans, then they simply stop being fans?!"

Pretty straight forward, it's standard stuff that's discussed here. Thomas's lack of communication and how long it's been since the last proper sanders side episode. And it's a gripe a lot of us have with the series, it's taking a long time, there's little communication and it's frustrating.

and the OP on twitter says "disrespectfully shut the fuck up. Thomas is one of the few content creators using his platform to help Palestine, and you want to boycott HIM because you don't have your season finale yet? Put this energy where it matters. This shit is pissing me off."

Glad we can agree on something op. But that's where out similarities end it seems.

Because why did you take the original post of "if there's little to no communication (and long wait times) between episodes then people will move on to other things where that isn't an issue." to bringing up Thomas's fantastic advocacy and fund raising for Palestinians. If you reread the post again, it specifies to boycott the finale, not Thomas himself, not the work he's doing to help Palestine. Just the finale. The second screenshot though it's harder to read is someone saying that they think people shouldn't buy merch until the finale is released.

As far as I'm aware no one has ever criticized Thomas for supporting Palestine and trying to fundraise. At least not the on #ts crit #ts critisism #ts critical or #thomas sanders all of which I follow and look at religiously. And if there are those people out there they're wrong, obviously. But that's not what we, in this little corner of Tumblr discus.

I've seen other people here get death threats for criticizing Thomas. This isn't a big space, there are only a few people who make regular contributions to the tags no to mention we share them with people who criticize Taylor Swift.

There can and should be a place for people to critisize and air their grievances in peace. Especially since, as Thomas once said himself:

None of this stuff is being seen by Thomas directly, we're not on twitter, if Thomas does have a tumblr he's not getting tagged. I at the least never use the main sanders sides tags.
