i told my physical therapist today about how i plan to get a xenomorph tattooed on my hip to highlight my hysterectomy scar, bc when i still had my reproductive organs i likened period cramps etc to having a live-in chestburster, then after surgery the complications that stupid lil ½" bastard scar gave me made it feel like i still had an alien parasite ravaging my innards... so the tattoo will be an homage to all it took to overcome that long painful history, as well as a way to honor my beloved monster wife.

then she shared a story about a close friend of hers who found out she had a tumor the size of a clementine that had been growing in her brain since childhood. it was safely removed & she's fine now, and she got a tattoo of a clementine slice behind her ear near where the tumor had been as a fun little inside joke with herself.

and i think about the long history of medicinal tattooing, and of people using ink to either cover or accentuate past wounds ranging from self harm to cancer to gender transition and everything in between and i just. i love how humans tell stories with our bodies. i love that we get to decorate the shapes that house our souls to reflect our experiences and celebrate our survival and carry what we find beautiful with us for life.

The gods basically failed at the ye old Spiderman adage. Great power, great responsibility.

Because truly at the end of it all, they can’t be both humanized and gods. They have too much power. Yes, you can sympathize with them but they aren’t allowed the same allowances as just a regular person. If a superhero chose to save their family over the world, they failed. Because they have a duty, they have power higher than themselves, higher than personal bonds.

And that’s what the gods fail at. The Raven Queen putting on the emotionless mask and saying they were children in their mortal forms is indicative of this. She knows what it means to chose godhood and she is failing at being this objective persona of death and fate. They are all failing at this. Erathis realized this. When what they call a squabble means war and destruction for everyone else, you cannot play the “we’re just a family” card. The power they hold is beyond that and they have a responsibility to use it wisely, to uphold the duty they promised they would.

And the Divine Gate is them choosing. Choosing to be gods or to be humanized. Pelor lamenting the idea of not being able to walk amongst mortals, Melora refusing to leave because she found this world. But ultimately, yes. They cannot walk amongst their creations because they are separate, they are not the same. There is a sheer difference in power that cannot be reconciled unless they give it up. And they can’t. They all choose godhood. They choose to be on a different level than mortals.

They chose power and have to deal with the responsibility.

So I was thinking about the whole elves-being-naturally-prettier-than-humans thing because that was always sort of weird to me when I FINALLY think I figured it out.

Humans used to know about the elves, and there are some things they still remember—hence myths about Atlantis and such. Reality is, humans and elves resembled each other in a lot of ways, but elves put themselves on a pedestal as better than every other species (that’s, like, canon, and better be addressed more fully at some point?) and that’s probably a part of the reasons humans “betrayed” the elves—they got sick of hearing that elves were better.

But it was just sort of implanted in their minds, though they weren’t fans of the idea, and elves didn’t go to great lengths to erase that idea from their minds. So humans remember myths and some things about elves, and Atlantis being the underwater city………and beauty standards.

It’s not that elves are naturally prettier than humans. It’s that human beauty standards are shaped around the natural looks of elves.

Clear Skin Manifestation Challenge

Join me in a clear skin manifestation challenge!!! Having clear skin doesn't need to be difficult, the reason by it becomes difficult is because of our beliefs. This isn't to say it's your fault, it's just that our limiting beliefs are stopping us from being the best versions of ourselves. But you know what? You have the ability to change all of that! You get to decide how your skin is.

Decide it. Accept it, FEEL IT!!!!!

So, for 2 weeks, let's do this challenge together and achieve the best glowy skin ever!

You in two weeks ----> (or should I say "you right now" because we already got that glowing skin!!!)

Step ONE:

To start off, get a clear image of your skin. What do you look like now that you have the most gorgeous clear skin??? How does it feel?? Do you feel absolutely gorgeous and confident? Do you smile confidently knowing your skin is literally GLOWING?????? LIVE IN THE FEELING. When you open your eyes, continue to live in the feeling. Don't be distracted by the 3D world, it doesn't matter, you are now living in the skin of your dreams, so act like it!!

Step TWO:

Once you've had a clear vision, strut like you have it. Act like it, talk like it. Look at yourself in the mirror and say, "damn girl, your skin is glowing!!!!" Who cares if the 3D isn't showing it? It's a reflection of the past, it literally does not matter.

Now, before you go saying "But I wanna see it in the 3d!!!!" Girl, you will! Live in the feeling of the wish fulfilled and it has to happen! It's literally inevitable!

Step THREE:

OKAY IMPORTANT NOTE HERE. You can do methods if you want, robotic affirmation, gratitude, 369 method, whatever but get your mindset STRAIGHT.

Whenever you do methods affirmations, don't do it from a place of trying to get something. Don't have the mindset of "if I listen to this subliminal for 20 minutes, or do this method I'll GET clear skin." NO. If you do this, then you'll always be in the state of trying and not HAVING.

YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GIVE YOURSELF WHATEVER YOU WANT>

You don't have to wait for the universe or divine timing. You give yourself what you want. How do you do this?

FEELING.

Why do you want clear skin? You want it to feel good. Well guess what? You can feel good now. You can feel confident and gorgeous now. Feel it like you already have it. Give yourself that feeling. Visualize just because it makes you feel good, not to try and manifest something.

When you stop trying to manifest and allow you to give yourself all the feelings that come along with clear skin, you're telling the universe that you already have clear skin.

And when you decide, the universe delivers!

So, the take away is:

IT'S ALREADY DONE. THAT'S IT!!!! It doesn't even have to be 2 weeks, you've got clear skin now!!!! Whoo hoo!

Live in the end.

Do methods that make you FEEL GOOD>

Imagine that all the food you are eating is clearing your skin. Be so grateful for it's healing energy and embrace it.

Embrace yourself and your skin.

It is done.

_--------> (You realizing you have everything you want and can celebrate life without worrying. You are your own sugar daddy/mommy, give yourself everything you want)

Those teeth are probably pretty useful

every time i think about how Megan Thee Stallion is technically filed under the bisexual women category on Wikipedia but there's no mention of it in the article itself except something along the lines of 'she's continuously expressed interest in women :))))' a kind of incandescent rage fills me that i cannot even begin to describe. not even remotely this needs to stop

fionna and cake comic I was enjoying had dark/complicated lighting for the first few chapters and then in the most recent chapter the lighting changed to super neutral normal lighting and. dude.

canon simon skintone colourpicked directly from his reference image vs the colour the artist chose for him in their comic.

is it really that tricky to see that he has brown skin? how can you watch every episode and somehow go ah yes. he is white. how does this even happen I do not understand!!! I'm genuinely just perplexed!

he spends 90% of the show standing next to fionna, who isn't even that pale but is still VERY pale in comparison to him!! I just can't wrap my head around it.

In echoes, witches are made by sacrificing someone to the Mad God, and one of the final bosses involves a character we've seen turned into a unique fire-elemental witch. Her fight is more sad than scary, since she's just a silent, soulless echo of the kind woman we saw before.

I really liked combining this idea with the witch-hunt vibes in Bring it On. In my fantasy au, Fuuta wrongfully leads his band of knights against a village girl, resulting in the townspeople burning her before all the facts were laid out. She was using magic, which is what Fuuta called her out for, but she wasn't using it for any malicious or witchy purposes. When she dies, the bit of magic in her flares up with her emotion and she returns as this type of fire spirit. As well as Fuuta's abstract haunting guilt, he now has a silent, destruction-bringing ghost haunting him each time he tries to run away from what he did.

kinda-wip-mostly-done skin of my wynncraft pc / oc because i've been playing that again lol.

his name is king and his backstory is that he got hit with the amnesia beam and mistook his name for a title, so he's now convinced he's royalty. he's actually a bandit but he's having too much fun with his inflated ego to believe anyone who tells him that

looking at him now i kinda wanna give him a crown but. i spent so much time making that hair look good aubdkjfg

Satan & Violins

I share a lot of similarities with Satan, even when before they canonized something about him; one of them being violinist!Satan😭 In spite of me having a mini identity crisis following the drop of his canon violinist card, i think it makes sense! heres why.

Disclaimer!

1. I have not picked up an instrument in years

2. This is purely bcuz my brain is so busy thinking abt Satan so its kinda rambly. . Pls bare w me T_T

3. THIS IS LONG IM SO SORRY

4. Not too used to tumblr writing just yet sorry if it's messy

(Uploaded on my twitter aswell :D)

The violin and its family, unlike other string instruments (ex. the guitar), doesnt have these little things (that i forgor the name of because im a bad musician) that separates every note. those little separating thingies are the reason why people who dont know shit about playing a key on guitar but memorize musical scales (me) is at least able to strum a simple one octave melody.

Obviously, the two come in with their one difficulty (i prefer the violin myself), but it's a little bit harder to pull that trick with the violin. As you can see, theres not exactly something to tell you where each note begins or where they end. Nothing to determine where is where. You simply have to memorize the placement and the distance between each note. You basically play the violin with Your Gut (1). We'll keep this in mind for now.

Moving on, let's talk about body posture.

Beginner violinist usually directlty face towards the strings when playing, as they aren't used to letting their 'gut' lead the show. However, more experienced players would find no need to do so. A quick glance at Satan's art could tell us he was at least above beginner level to be brave enough to face (us) instead.

When you're not facing your violin, you would usually lean your head towards it, resulting in your ear becoming the closest thing to it- here's a real life example:

Now, if there was anything my teacher warned me before starting violin, is that even without having your ear be the closest thing to it, the strings are already LOUD😭 so its even louder when you alr have ur ear on it. The violin is considered one of the most emotional instruments ever, their lower sound resemble what we use to express sadness in speech. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, you as a player are forced to feel what you're playing. Thus is also why you play the violin with Your Heart (2).

So, how does this tie into Satan? It's no secret that our handsome man is incredibly romantic, and to me if he ever wants to express something to us and making sure the message is clearly received, the equally emotional violin is his best bet! The violin allows Satan to play heartwrenching notes that would quickly be felt by the listener.

Lets get technical.

There's still another side of the violin, as there is another side to Satan. The way you stroke your bow matters, the way you angle it so you'll only hit the notes you want. (thankfully if you mess up, the violin is made to still sound graceful😂). Satan too, is quite the detail oriented person. He is tactical, analytical, observant, a man obsessed with striving to be the perfect one, etc etc. The need of preciseness of the violin is definitely right up his alley. The way you need everything to be correct to be rewarded for a beautiful sound. Idk exactly where I'm going with this but it's basically intelligence meets emotion kinda thing, do you see it too?!?!

In conclusion, the violin is a wonderful instrument that both requires great attention to detail yet is also incredibly emotional and heartfelt, an instrument that requires your gut and heart guide your play without abandoning technique. Satan, the incredibly smart yet fluffy softie, is quite literally made for this and I LOVE HIM for that RAAAAAAHHHH. im normal.

THATS IT RLLY im soooo sorry if it's incredibly messy please have a sugarry picture <3 ily
