111 - The Butterfly - shandiz

[Wheel One] - [House One: The Growth] - [Card One]

➽ Illustration: A peacock butterfly dries its wings, still sitting on the cocoon it just emerged from. The Growth is associated with butterflies in general, but especially peacock butterflies. According to legend, they were created when the Growth blew petals into a rainbow. Other decks may show the butterfly in flight, or even still as a caterpillar, but the cocoon imagery is the most common.

➽ General description: The Butterfly is the beginning of all things, the turning of a new page, the (re)birth. It signals that you're ready to start a new life phase, and that beautiful things await you if you open yourself up to them. But you must also make amends, tie up loose ends, let go of what is holding you back to step unburdened into the future. Make peace with your past and forgive yourself, look into the future with hope and optimism. The Butterfly tells you that it's okay to be a bit selfish sometimes, and that now's the time to do what's right for yourself, no matter what anyone else says.

➽ Advice: Take that first step, do what you've been truly wanting to do and unfold your true self without letting fear hold you back. Open your mind up to all possibilities that surround you, get up and try again if it doesn't all work out at first. Be confident and proud in your abilities and strong in your convictions even if doubt sets in.

➽ Warning: What unfinished business are you trying to leave behind? You can't run away forever from trauma, from difficult conversations, from yourself. You must make peace with your past to truly be ready for the future.

➽ As a person: The Butterfly represents someone who has a lot of youthful energy, loves trying out new things, and rarely gets bored. But they might also be taking unnecessary risks and don't yet understand the potential consequences of their actions. They're naïve about the world, don't take advice well and have to learn lessons the hard way. But they're also confident and prideful, and always strive to reach new heights.

➽ Finding love: The Butterfly strongly suggests that you're ready to put yourself out there and enter a new relationship! Be confident in yourself, even if it doesn't work out at first. Love is already all around you, you just have to open your eyes to it.

➽ Holding love: This card signals that something needs to change - now that doesn't necessarily mean breaking up, although it certainly could. Rather, maybe you feel like your relationship has grown a bit stale, and it's high time to infuse it with new energy. Try out something new, break out of your daily routine and surprise each other again. If you've been having problems, talk it out! The Butterfly assures you that change is always possible if you're committed to it, but you must be open and brutally honest with each other to make sure everyone is on the same page with where you want your futures to be headed.

➽ Spirituality: On one hand, this card suggests that now is a good time to start a new spiritual practice! If you were thinking about adding a new deity to your worship rituals or shedding an old practice, this is the sign that you should go for it. But the Butterfly is also very ego-centric, suggesting that this new spiritual path may be shallow and self-serving at first - although of course that doesn't mean it can't bloom into something more meaningful in the future. Just be mindful that your ego might get in the way of you being able to fully commit to your practice.

POV : you're about to get served the most bomb food to ever exist possibly

[darlingofdots]

my parents are on holiday in their mobile home

they're expected back this upcoming weekend

I just spent ten days in my childhood home to keep an eye on things

I have hidden 100 small yellow ducks all over the house

I am very excited for my parents to be back

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

I once had a landlord offhandedly mention that his mother had set this house on fire before. He and his wife lived on the first floor, and i rented the third.

Apparently his mom didn’t like his wife. So she set their house on fire. The house i was living in.

He assured me that everything was fine now and that this was years ago, just kinda laughed, smiled, and said ‘You know how moms are’

Yes. I know how moms are. I know how fucked up moms are as well. I have known many fucked up moms and fellow children of fucked up moms.

Attempted murder through arson is not typical mom behavior, even for a fucked up abusive mom

Oh, and his mother lived next door 🙃

"(blank) hates laios!" WRONG WRONG WRONG. SHUT THE FUCK UP

shuro is just as awkward as laios and it is made So clear he considers him a friend and likes him. he defends him when the canaries start talking shit and actively readies himself to physically fight them so they dont get to him.

namari also likes laios. she respects him as a leader and also defends him and readies to fight the canaries.

ive not actually seen anyone claim izutsumi hates laios, but a lot of ppl Are weird abt them. izutsumi and laios' relationship was rocky at the beginning. he struggled to figure out how to interact with her. but by the end, she actively seeks him out to talk with during the lead up to the feast. she hides behind him when falin wakes up. she has already realized shecan do what she wants and does not need to stick around, yet she does. she sleeps near him on the windowsill, waiting with him and marcille for falin to wake up. she has accepted him as part of her life and wants to keep him in it.

marcille does not hate laios. let me say this again.

Marcille Donato Does Not Hate Laios Touden.

marcille Loves him. in a platonic, familial sense. laios returns this just as readily. she yells at him. she whacks him. she tells him whats on her mind. she uses healing magic to ease his pain during the parasite fiasco. she reattaches his leg when he loses it. she teaches him magic. she lays her head on his corpse and cries before reviving him. she launches herself at him two times, when the canaries interrogate them and when he talks her down in the tower. he is a comforting presence to her. she trusts him, she cares about him, she worries about him, she imagines him as a big fluffy dog that loves and protects her. laios is her rock when falin is taken from them time and time again. and she tries to be his as well. she whole-heartedly, unconditionally, loves and trusts laios.

chilchuck does not hate laios. laios pays him his rates, no questions asked. laios trusts and respects chilchuck's job as a lockpick. laios does not see him as a child (at least, i cant think of an instance where he does so). chilchuck states, outright, he sees him as a friend and doesnt want to see him hurt. he actively worries about him as the falin situation gets worse. chilchuck respects laios. he shows almost 0 hesitation in helping get falin back, nor eating her by the end. he does not think of leaving him once, until he realizes he could lose him. chilchuck is cowardly with emotions and prefers to bottle things, so his first instinct was to bolt. he was angry because he was scared of watching someone he cares about destroy himself. laios is his Friend.

and holy shit. holy Fucking shit. kabru DOES NOT hate laios. kabru has the rockiest start known to man with him, and he Still helps him by occupying the canaries. he warns him about them. he hides the black magic from them just as shuro does. his whole Thing is trusting laios despite himself. kabru has his own baggage regarding other people, just like laios, yet he tries so hard to believe and trust this man. he Wants to. kabru is not very hopeful, but laios makes him Want to be. he states like 3 times he wants to be close to him and sees him as a friend. he stays through the entire feast!! the man who hates monsters, whose biggest trigger is monsters, actively, consciously, Willingly stayed through the entire monster meat feast. all to help his friend get his sister back. he could've left!! the feast was like an entire week!! yet he was there for every single day. he was one of the closest people to the door when falin awoke!! after reuniting with her brother, her friends, the people who knew her the most (plus senshi and izutsumi), the first person she greets is kabru!! he wants to be close to laios, he likes laios, laios is his friend and he cares for him, he wants to meet his sister!!! kabru fucking stays on the island with him as one of his closest, most trusted advisors when he becomes king!!!!! he wants to help him succeed!!!! he wants him to be happy!!!! laios is his friend!!!!!!!!

im just. people like laios!! laios is a nice guy! he is friendly and cares about people! he is weird, he doesn't understand most social cues, he oversteps boundaries, but they stay beside him, because they like him and he is their friend. he is their friend!!!!! friendship is not all sunshine and rainbows, relationships in general are not sunshine and rainbows. you will upset people, people will upset you, you will get into arguments, things will happen, but at the end of the day, the people close to you like you! they love you! they care for you! they want to work it out and get through it because they love you, but they will feel those emotions first! human relationships are complex and messy and life is complicated. even shows for toddlers know this.

if you truly believe any of these characters hate laios you are worse than a toddler. watch some fucking oobi or something. god. fuck.

take this

thanks

[thatrandomblogsays]

Low key want Aegon and larys and Helaena and Alicent to all run away to Essos purely so this can happen

[steveharrington]

i think ultimately the core of what irritates me about the t swift craze is that she’s constantly getting props for things that … literally aren’t true. people act like she’s self made, she is not. people act like she’s a social activist, she is not. people act like she’s constantly going to great lengths to uplift other women, she is not. like if people were just like yeah i love her music :) then okay! but it’s the constanttttt applause and praise and worshipping for things that are just patently false that really makes me feel insane

113 - The Deer - rodin

[Wheel One] - [House One] - [Card Three]

➽ Illustration: A fawn looks straight forward. The exact pose and species of deer can vary depending on where the deck's artist is from and what feelings they want to convey. Here I went with the typical deer-in-headlights type stare, as I thought it fitting for this card. The Growth is closely associated with teenagers and young adults, so I chose to depict a fawn instead of an adult deer.

➽ General description: The deer represents the aftermath of having tried something that didn't end up working out in the end, and all the complicated feelings that come with that. You were so excited and eager at first, but are now feeling deflated, defeated, and maybe a bit embarrassed. Perhaps there was advice you disregarded and had to learn your lesson the hard way. Now you're paralyzed by fear, scared of failing again. The Deer reminds you that failure can be a great teacher if you're willing to learn, and that you can't make progress on your journey without stumbling sometimes.

➽ Advice: Don't wallow in self-pity, don't try to over-analyze what you did wrong, or else you'll stay stagnant. Learn your lesson, take it within, strive to do better next time, and then move on. It can be easy to get stuck in endless thought loops, going over every detail that led to your failure. You might think you're just trying to prevent yourself from making the same mistakes again, but in doing so you end up staying still. You can't prevent every misstep, don't blame yourself for not being perfect. Look around you and realize that you're not alone, and that the world hasn't ended. There's always a new day and a new chance. The deer is a reminder that you were already brave enough to do it once - you know you have it in you.

➽ Warning: Don't let opportunities pass you by out of fear of failure. There's only one way to find out what the outcome of something will ultimately be. Things might not turn out perfectly, but the worst case scenario is just as unlikely as perfection, and either way presents a chance to grow and learn something new. By being so afraid of failure you're only setting yourself up for it. What do you not want to regret when you look back on this period of your life in a couple years?

➽ As a person: The Deer can represent somebody who tends to be anxious and shy and prefers staying in their comfort zone. They find it difficult to find their voice and express their feelings and opinions, and let others take the lead on important decisions. They might also want to evade responsibility for when things go wrong, but in doing so they lose control over their own life. Their anxiety might even turn to paranoia or conspiratorial thinking, causing them to isolate themselves from others. They might need someone to take them by their hand and bring them back into the light, so to speak, before their fear turns so paralyzing they can't get out of this spiral at all anymore.

➽ Finding love: The Deer might show up if you just went through a break up. You may need some time to be alone and regain your strength to find yourself again and figure out what you really want. Feeling disappointed, you might not feel like putting yourself back out there again, and a break like that might be just what you need right now. But don't close yourself off from love forever out of fear that it won't work out again. Few relationships truly last forever, and transience doesn't make something worthless. Be open to all kinds of connections, even small ones can be very meaningful and fulfilling.

➽ Holding love: In relationships, this card can represent trust issues, and important matters that aren't being discussed. Are there questions you want to ask but don't, out of fear for how the other person might react? Do you fear that your partner is hiding something from you, or are you the one keeping secrets? Sometimes it's easier to just go along with the status quo and not rock the boat. But if it's not fulfilling anymore, it might be time to seriously reassess the situation, no matter how scary the future might look. If you feel trapped, what do you need to do to regain your freedom?

➽ Spirituality: You might feel insecure in your practices, like you're not doing it correctly, or not doing it to a satisfactory degree. But is there really a wrong way to worship? Are you afraid of disappointing the gods the same way you've disappointed others, or been disappointed? Your magical abilities suffer from your diffidence, you must get over this notion of "correctness" if you want to strengthen them again. It will be difficult and messy, and others may try to tell you to do it differently, but only you can know what works for you. The gods will accept your honest hard work and commitment, even if it might look a bit unusual to other people.
