movie quotes ᢉ𐭩

movie / book quotes that i think represent the hoo boys (percy , leo , jason , and frank) x reader

warning !! toa spoilers !!

percy-

“so it’s not gonna be easy. it’s gonna be really hard. we’re gonna have to work at this every day, but i want to do that because i want you. i want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.” (the notebook, 2004)

having a relationship with a son of the big three is never easy, especially if it’s with percy jackson. he’s constantly fighting for his life and battling to save the whole freakin’ world. it’s tough for him to balance love life and demigod priorities, but he doesn’t care. he would let the world burn to be in a relationship with you, to see your smile every morning, to grow old and raise your kids. percy loves you more than anything, and he’d be dammed to give you up because of some dumb prophecies.

leo-

“i loved her to the point of invention.” (the clean house, 2004)

leo would build anything for you, no matter how blistered his hands got or how sleep deprived he grew. if you mentioned even one minor inconvenience, he’d rush down to bunker 9 until he could present you with a solution. you complain about not being able to listen to music in the shower? boom. leo’s emerging from the darkness of his workshop hours later with waterproof headphones in his hands.

jason-

"death cannot stop true love. all it can do is delay it for a while." (the princess bride, 1987)

sigh 😕.

does this one even need an explanation? when jason died, you were brutally crushed. he had been your first true love, your rock, the peanut butter to your jelly. he was everything, and just like that he was nothing. but of course, the pain eventually faded. instead of crying every time lightning struck, it became a nice reminder that he was probably prancing around in elysium, watching over you and preparing until he could see you again. after all, suffering the pain of a life without him was nothing compared to the joy of an eternity with him.

frank-

"i love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. i love that after i spend the day with you, i can still smell your perfume on my clothes. and i love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night." (when harry met sally, 1989)

frank notices every single little thing about you. he’s been helplessly in love with you since before you even started dating. every time you mention something you love, whether it be a color or a cute stuffed animal, he’s taking mental notes (and sometimes physical notes so he doesn’t forget). he can’t go to the lake without thinking of the time you and him swam until your muscles gave out, and gods forbid someone else wears your signature scent. you consumed his every waking thought, and he couldn’t imagine it any other way.

Zelda Ramble: Vaati

I felt the need to talk about blorbos and by god i shall, christmas gift for y'all!

Vaati is a very interesting character to me, with or without my personal headcanons. His presumed motivation, told to Link in Minish Cap by Ezlo, is purely that Vaati fell into obsession over the evil of mankind, but that doesn't make much sense, does it?

EDIT: Stating here that I accept asks! If anyone wants to ask for my opinion on a certain Zelda character from any game, I'll be happy to blab all of my thoughts on them! I can't promise a massive block of text, but I can promise a thoughtful paragraph or two at the very least! Just give a name (even something like "that weird guy in the blue-ish shop") and the game and I will FORM thoughts haha

[Rest of RAMBLE Below!]

Every Minish Link met during his journey in the first game was sickeningly optimistic. To the point that even Minish like 2 feet away from Murder Mittens Cats were quite cheerful, and the Minish who literally did ALL of the shoemaker's job were glad to do so. Even the Crenel Minish were very optimistic despite a much harsher climate and hardworking culture. That is why I am assuming that the magic that fuels the Minish existence makes them inherently Good and Light, for lack of better words. Thoughts of undeserved ill-will do not show up in any conversations Link has with the Minish, so I assume that Minish feel no need to inconvenience others.

So Vaati's original motivation was not malicious, but became so when he transformed into a Hylian. I personally do subscribe to the theory that Ezlo was a very old-fashioned, strict, and unsympathetic teacher to Vaati, and Ezlo learns how to be a better person while traveling with Link, though never perfect. The Minish Cap Legendary Manga has hints of this in the Bonus Panels, where Ezlo and Vaati have a very negative relationship, honestly. Ezlo sends him searching for a full day for a herb that does not exist, both wasting time and damaging Vaati's self esteem and trust in Ezlo as a teacher. Though, Ezlo also apparently, according to the manga (and I QUOTE), is, "going to all the singles' parties in town." So it's not the most Serious source, though 2/4 of the Bonus Comics are Ezlo outright saying multiple times that he is hard on Vaati, sooo.

Vaati was not fulfilled in his apprenticeship with Ezlo, that is certain! He felt like he was not learning anything of note, and so he wanted to Actually get stronger, not whatever this was. When Ezlo started making the Wishing Cap, I genuinely think Vaati thought he was a moron. An all-powerful artefact that doesn't have any safety measures? AND he trusted HYLIANS to use it? I personally believe that Vaati had bad experiences around Hylians before, and I have a whole Tragic Backstory or whatever, but the only part that matters for his Distrust is this: I believe that, during a minor flood, Vaati was swept off from his home and into the center of a panicking Hyrule Town, and, as a young Minish who had NEVER seen a Hylian before, his first impression was a bunch of frightened people acting out with panic and anger at the situation. He had no reason to trust the tales told about how great Hylians were when his only experience was genuinely horrible, so excuse him for thinking leaving a completely unguarded magical, reality-bending wish-granting HAT in the hands of Hyrule wasn't a good idea.

A combination of feeling Ezlo as incompetant and cruel, his yearning to actually learn something to make him a powerful asset to the Minish, AND his trauma with Hylians compelled him to steal the cap and use it. Though he didn't like Hylians, he knew they were strong, and there were likely many great mages among them. Sure, he knew of the Light Force and Picori Blade, but they weren't part of his plan until the magic that made him Minish was removed by the Wishing Cap. The moment that Light was pushed away, Vaati only had his own negativity and Wind magic by his side, which set him thinking.

He wanted to become powerful before, but now that Minish Magic wasn't flowing through his core, there was nothing stopping the plan from spiraling from ambitious into malicious. Especially since I also have a theory that Demise's Curse is not necessarily a reincarnating soul, but a disease in the hearts of all living things aside from the Hero's Spirit and Hylia's Children (Link and the Royal Family essentially), so ANYONE could have a "flare up" and become a vessel of Demise, which is why multiple avatars of Demise's will have existed at one time. When the Minish Magic was no longer keeping his heart pure, it was very, very easy for the Curse to flare up and consume him.

So innocent enough ambition is warped into demented malice as he begins his takeover and chaos-bringing path.

Of course, the story's pretty cut and dry after that, Link reforges the holy blade, takes Vaati down with the power of Clones, all is well. But the Four Sword is special, I believe in many things about it. The most relevant are as follows:

The Four Sword takes in power from the elements used to forge it anew. Therefore, as long as it is at least able to touch Air, it will literally only grow more powerful. When it is able to touch Earth AND Air, it's accelerated, and if Water joins in (rain) then it's like a boost. If someone decided to light the resting place on Fire, then that would also only benefit. This is how I explain its growing power over the games/mangas, from Minish Cap's mindless and fragile clones to Four Swords' solid mindless clones, to Four Swords Adventures having four entirely independent copies of an individual. Keep in mind I believe this power intake IS very slow, but constant.

The Four Sword applies four different types of seals. Earth fuels the seal on the Mind, such as logical thinking and sanity. Fire fuels the seal on the Memory, obviously memories and emotions. Water seals aspects of the Body, mobility, forms the sealed may have taken. Wind seals the Soul, the essence of an individual, the personality, magic too. These seals are independent from one another and can be broken at different times. They also have a taste for devouring the magic, and, well, Vaati is a meaty morsel. The seals wear him down over time baseline.

Vaati is freed multiple times after he is first sealed, but the first time is particularly intriguing. In the Game, Four Swords, Vaati has a very simple motivation---he wants a wife. Which he never had ANY desire for before.

So what happened?

Well, I believe that only a few of the seals broke. The Earth merely cracked, Fire holds strong, Water is cracked, and the Wind is completely broken. Vaati only has access to his demonic body, a small amount of logical thinking, and all of his magic and personality. But he doesn't remember much of anything about his Before. I am personally using the official Timeline's spacing here, so I would apply the first 4swords about 100 years after MC, making the Zelda of the game MC's granddaughter/great-granddaughter. And let's be honest, I think the ONLY timeline with DECENT record-keeping is the Adult Timeline, which is surprising because LITERALLY EVERYTHING FLOODED. Some information was lost, yes, but it's basically all THERE, they have a TRADITION with the HERO OF TIME'S MEMORY. Thus, I believe that the Link and Zelda of the first 4swords were not well-informed on how Vaati SHOULD have been.

Blah blah blah, Vaati isn't acting like himself, he's sealed again, and time passes. Timeline gets turned into a shit smoothie, and for some reason Vaati only ends up being notably released in the Child Timeline. I personally think Vaati fucking drowned when he came out in the Adult Timeline, and the people of the Downfall Timeline were so battle-hardened that they didn't really need a hero to kill his ass. Only the relatively-peaceful Child Timeline was just right for him to both not die immediately and also be able to cause any ripple in the Daily Routine.

But something was WRONG with him. The once super chatty and prideful Vaati literally doesn't have a single line. He doesn't even have his usual dramatic entrance, just sends the Links flying with some air and dips (in the game, not Manga. As much as I love the manga, I usually apply the Manga Elements to the Base Game because the Game has More Substance for their adventure). He's not himself. He's not THERE. A husk wearing a familiar face, no memory, no real personality, no logic, really. More animal than person. More monster than man.

The Vaati that started it all had long since been consumed, only the last dregs of him escaped at all. A tragic end for a fun character.

Lmao this thing is literally so long and I tried to make it shorter by not just spouting off every headcanon I have. Sorry, but it's my thing! Let me know your own thoughts if you want to, I love hearing others' opinions and theories. Heck, tell me to kms if you wanna, it would be funny---disagree with everything I said and kick me in my nonexistent balls.

Happy holidays, hope you all had a nice and tasty meal and a warm night in comfy blankets. Pet an animal if you so choose, drink something because it's good for you, remember some of you have work tomorrow, sadly.

Twst spoilers for Book 7 and playful land

Just a heads up I’m going to be discussing the only actual "villain" in TWST and why his characterization bothers me. Also, keep in mind this is for the games only.

Okay, I’m slowly putting together why Henrique’s design and characterization bothers me story-wise and I think I figured it out.

It’s because his portrayal goes against things TWST set up: that no one is a “villain” and their crimes can be overlooked, no matter what.

The Overblots boys are a prime example of this, namely Azul and the Tweels who tricked their entire dorm and several other students into dodgy, immoral contracts that essentially turned them into slaves (and, I believe, gave the trio the “right” to literally beat them, but don’t quote me on that last part). However, after his contracts are burned and he recovers from over blotting, everything seems forgotten with no consequences.

And it’s not just the main cast either, it’s the side foes as well.

Eliza kidnapped Idia and was going to give him the literal kiss of death to fuel her delusions and wish for a “happy marriage.” Yet she is portrayed comically and a minor inconvenience even though, again, she was going to murder Idia.

Rollo used an ancient flower to steal magic from mages causing havoc for the city and endangering everyone, but gets no official punishment. In fact, no one other than the main cast knows he was behind it.

Even Fellow and Gidel, who were fucking human traffickers and who submitted people to fates worse than death, weren’t portrayed as villains. They were antagonists and a threat, but not "villains." And in the end they dance off into the sunset to start a school without even a call out for their sins.

While I personally hated this theme—as I just hate the easily forgiven trope in general--I can’t deny that the writers were consistent in how they handled all the antagonists in the game.

As terrible as their actions were, they were given humanizing traits and had their acts hand waved at the end. (Mostly, anyway. Jamil’s rep apparently took a blow but nothing major.) The writers had a theme and they stuck to it. Then Henrique appears.

Henrique is the only actual villain in TWST without any sympathetic traits or attractive features. He is just presented as a fat, stupid, irredeemable bastard. And while it’s a change of pace, it’s also an inconsistency within TWST.

With every other for they are presented as hot, or at least cute. I mean, look at them;

Even the side villains are cute in a way;

And look at Henrique;

See how the pattern has been thrown? The only other ones that might be deemed “uncute” are Gantu, the Trick or Treaters, and the ghosts. (YMMV)

And then, these guys aren’t seen as villains, just obstacles. Henrique, on the other hand is presented as being the old stereotypical villain twst has always steered clear from.

Appearance aside, his personality is shown to be prideful, gluttonous, greedy, and manipulative who plays on people’s emotions to get what he wants. And there are no sympathetic traits shown to balance those out which, again, goes against everything that had been presented before.

For example; even though Eliza wants to MURDER Idia, we see that she is beloved by her people and we are told that the reason she’s the way she is is because she never got to fulfill her dream of a perfect wedding due to being invaded and murdered that day.

Another one is Rollo. Although, he causes a lot of harm, the audience sees that this is a trauma response due to losing his younger brother who misused magic.

Now, the reason for this MIGHT be because when we see Henrique it’s in Lilia’s dream.

Yes, it's all Lilia’s memories but they’re being brought to the surface by Malleus’ spell which, as we saw in other dreams such as Epel’s, has interesting effects. Therefore it’s possible that Henrique wasn’t completely one dimensional or the only ugly person in the story. After all, Lilia would have bias pov against the man who lead the Silver Owls to invade his homeland. In reality, Henrique could have been handsome, just a bit beefy and he could had “sympathetic” reasons that Lilia wasn’t aware of. But alas, that’s theory.

As of now, we have to take it at face value that Henrique was a pathetic, nonredeemable man whose hideousness is reflected inside and out. And whose characterization conflicts with TWST’s theme.

Another reason is that it could be because Henrique wasn’t the main antagonist; The Knight of the Dawn was.

After all, he slayed Malleus’ parents and led the Silver Owls to invade. Therefore, the Knight was the main villain of Lilia’s and Henrique was just the villainous force pushing him, like Riddle’s mom in book 1 and the owners of the carnival in the Playful Land event. But in that case the writers should have kept Henrique faceless and off screen just like the other two examples. However, I acknowledge that would be harder as Henrique plays a more hands on role than the other two. In which case, he probably should of had a helmet on. That way it keeps up the theme of actual “villains” being faceless.

Don’t misunderstand, I’m NOT saying justice for the bastard.

As stated, he was a prideful, greedy bastard that manipulated others emotionally to get wanted. He single-handedly started a war using the fear people had for the fae and manipulated the Knight of the Dawn through his devotion to Leah and the king, all to get Malenore’s amber. He had no empathy for those around him and cared not for the people who were hurt because of him. He even bragged about wanting to use Malleus as a stead after they killed his mother. Oh, and there’s the whole stealing resources and invading a foreign land thing.

Henrique was a bastard and a villain through and through. And because of that, he out of place here.

He doesn’t fit the story or pattern of villains shown before. He doesn’t fit TWST’s theme. His character doesn’t belong.

Am I over thinking it? Obviously. But like I said, it just bothers me from a story perspective. Sure I’m misunderstanding something and I’m sure others will point it out. This post is just to sort my thoughts as I’m trying to figure out what bugs me about Henrique’s portrayal. If anyone has similar thoughts, pleas share.

Primogems & How They Predicted the Most Devastating Plot Twist of the Game

This item may be the bane of every F2P player's existence and the whale's minor inconvenience to acquire, but I believe that in terms of lore and what the future of the story holds, it can possibly be one of the most blatant warning flags in the game.

Before I go into this specifically, I would like to show you where this post is coming from in earnest.

The one on the left was the beta version of the primogem icon and I have the current one adjacent to it as a comparison.

This? This right here? This is just a slap to the face, a true insult, dare I say a gauntlet thrown on the ground in front of me.

You don't know me if you think I'm going to take that shit, so of course, I'm picking it up and I'll have my pistols. Tell me where and when because I'll be there with receipts.

Not only will I argue that the beta design was quite pointed and intentional with how often this specific shape shows up with characters, lore, and the game at large, I will blatantly declare that it is the key to figuring out where this story is going to end.

If you've been here before, you know what to expect from this, and if you're new? Strap in with some snacks and a healthy appetite for questioning the lore because on this blog, we go ham or we go home.

What is a Primogem Anyway?

According to the wiki, the description of a primogem is as such:

"A primordial crystalline gem that's beyond the mundane world. Shines with the condensed hopes and dreams of universes that once were."

The information here is already intriguing in the sense that the words 'hopes' and 'dreams' are used in relation to their appearance as well as the word 'primordial', which roughly means 'from the beginning of time'.

So with that, we have to ask ourselves one question: how do you even get something like that in the first place?

How Do You Acquire Primogems?

Before I go into this, the ways that I am providing are (in my opinion) the only canonical ways that make sense to acquire primogems at all as they have lore, in-game quotes, and things that point to what I believe will tie into primogems either through other topics or their uses.

Genesis Crystals

To start off, the description of a Genesis Crystal is as follows:

"An energy crystal from the very origin of the universe. Formed from within nothingness out of pure potential and hope, it contains enough energy to create a newborn star."

If one looks at the definition of a primogem, one can see that this Genesis Crystal is used to make primogems. This is evident by the in-game application of the '1:1 Ratio' conversion of Genesis Crystals to Primogems.

It should also be of note that the distinct shape of the crystal is defined as the 'triquetra'. This symbol has a relation to infinity and interconnectedness, which is interesting as the crystal is used as a source to create a condensed byproduct in primogems, something decidedly 'star shaped'. So with that, you also have to ask how one could acquire such a thing in the first place.

The Blessing of the Welkin Moon - New Moon

Please note that this is not in reference to the product that you can buy in the game, but instead, the new moon variant that one can get in web events. This, however, doesn't mean that the lore is not inclusive of the said products either.

I have an ask that went into some more detail about this in a more speculative nature, but for the sake of this, I will put the description of this object below:

"A ritual prayer, recited on the rising of the first new moon, to ask for the moon's blessing in the form of wealth and good fortune. For your purposes, the new moon you shall pray to is the first-ever new moon in Teyvat, since it's the first one you've seen here."

So, with this, we can assume that:

There is a 'prayer' one must make to acquire both primogems and Genesis Crystals

The moon plays a significant role in this process as the said object only last 30 days (roughly the same length as the moon cycle)

Something else of note that I would like to point out is that the new moon is when the cycle starts specifically. Over these 30 days, one can acquire a total of 2,700 primogems and 300 Genesis Crystals, the same as the standard Blessing of the Welkin Moon you can buy.

This image of The Welkin Moon shows a few symbols that we've already seen, such as the primogems themselves as well as the triquetra, so we can firmly establish that this is indeed a valid way of getting these things. But in relation to the moon cycles and lore that incorporates that as well, one must stumble into places you wouldn't typically expect to find those or primogems at all.

Spiral Abyss - Moment of Syzygy

Primogems? In my Sprial Abyss? It's more likely than you think.

The Spiral Abyss is split into two distinct sections, the Abyss Corridor (Floors 1-8) and the Abyss Spire (Floors 9-12) and as such, I'm only going to go over The Abyss Spire in-depth as they replenish their primogems every cycle (15 days).

A physical description of the Spiral Abyss states plainly:

"A grand underground corridor which leads to an unknown spiral constructed by a great empire that has long gone. What treasures await deep in the palace, and what monsters lurk in the shadow..."

"Surrounded by mysteries, the inverse tower is now known as- Spiral Abyss."

With this description, I believe that this 'great empire' is not Khaenri'ah, but something affiliated with the 'Lunar Palace', something that existed and fell into ruination long before the game is set.

With this context in mind, one can see why the snippet called 'Moment of Syzygy' would say:

"The cycles of the moon elucidate the turning points of fate, and as the gears turn at the beginning and middle of the month, the treasures hidden at the end of the spire shows itself."

From Moment of Syzygy, one acquires 600 primogems per cycle of the Abyss, so given the presence of 'treasure' and the heavy emphasis on the moon, one can assume that you would absolutely find primogems even in such a place and if you don't think so, there is proof.

For example, the word 'syzygy' is defined as 'a conjunction or opposition, especially of the moon with the sun'. This is another term for an eclipse, a phenomenon that also includes three celestial bodies (the moon, the sun, and the earth).

Another example of this is something called 'Blessing of the Abyssal Moon'. These come in distinct phases (every 15 days) and are labeled as the 'Waxing Phase' and 'Waning Phase' respectively, granting boons to any characters fighting in the Spiral Abyss, this imagery is further emphasized by the accompanying images of the Corridor and the Spire respectively:

Further on, this Abyssal Moon seems to be a variant of the 'Blessing of the Welkin Moon' as the word 'welkin' means 'the sky or heaven'. So now we have the Heavenly Moon and the Abyssal Moon, two direct opposites in terms of definition and distinct as to what is granted as a blessing.

So yes, you could acquire primogems here with some difficulty. There is, however, another way to do so, though this one might be the most interesting one of all.

Batte Pass - Gnostic Chorus

Please note that I am only referencing the 'Gnostic Chorus' in the teaser trailer and not the purchasable one in the game, although like I've said before, the content in each can be inclusive to each other.

I had some back and forth in my mind concerning the addition of the Gnostic Chorus in this classification, but after looking at the provided dialogue from Venti, I believe it has its place as where one could acquire primogems. The said dialogue is as such below:

"Once, there was a glorious kingdom established among the heavens. From that kingdom came a crowned heir, tasked with seeking out the Genesis Pearl from the Kingdom of Darkness."

"The first crowned heir began her journey of seeking the pearl. But she was deceived, and the memory of her noble origins faded. She now believed that she was the queen of the Kingdom of Darkness." 

"But take heart, a second crowned heir had already taken up the path where the first had stumbled. This is the story of your journey, of your tale to be told."

Immediately, one can clock the term 'Genesis Pearl' and can relate that to 'Genesis Crystal', which we have already defined as something essential to how one can acquire primogems as well as going into what it is in its core.

There is also the imagery of the star-like things on top of the city in the heavens and this mountain specifically, which also lends credence to the presence of stars.

This 'Kingdom of Darkness', however, is up for some debate, as it could be Khaneri'ah, the Spiral Abyss, the Abyss itself, Teyvat itself, or something that we haven't come across yet, so I don't have anything conclusive to say about this particular matter.

From the Gnostic Chorus, you can get 680 primogems per pass acquired. As to why I chose to include this boils down to the fact that the story being told in the dialogue is the Traveler's. The story at large can easily be applied to the Traveler as the way the canonical story goes is that Aether is the one to pick up the task. While there are many theorists that think this isn't the case, for the purposes of this and how this will relate later, I will stick with this view.

Why Does All of This Matter?

To summarize what we've gone over, you can get primogems from

Genesis Crystals

The Blessing of the Welkin Moon (New Moon)

Spiral Abyss (Moment of Syzygy)

Battle Pass (Gnostic Chorus)

And the reasons why you can get them from there specifically is because:

A tie to the essences present at the beginning of the universe and frequently emphasized to be from beyond Teyvat

The frequent allusions to the moon and its cycles

The presence of hopes and dreams as material as opposed to abstract ideas

Symbols and lore that coincide with the topics already established

So in this sense, Primogems are not to be understated in any way as they can all be canonically acquired from this.

However, one thing that I haven't gone over until now is what one can do with Primogems after they've got them.

What to do With Primogems?

A primogem's uses are described and laid as such:

Replenish Resin

Unlock levels of the Battle Pass

Acquire Fates (Wishes)

While at first, this may seem like a system in which the game itself operates, the lore that I've also provided points to more of what to expect in the future as well as how the main character (Traveler) interacts with Teyvat at large as there are certain objects only primogems can make:

Original Resin

Acquiant Fates

Intertwined Fates

All of these things have importance to the lore due to how they influence the world around them and how they are used, the original resin being one that brings many things into question.

Original Resin

The uses of original resin are for ley line outcrops, domains, normal bosses, and weekly bosses. However, I will only really be focusing on ley line outcroppings as they are related to the ley lines themselves.

The description provided for original resin is as stated:

"It is said that the roots of all the Irminsul trees and blossoms in the world are intertwined at the deepest, most hidden place in the earth, and that the pattern the root system makes defines the Ley Lines of the world."

It is also necessary to define Ley Lines and the respective outcroppings (also called Blossoms), which are:

"A mysterious network that links the whole world together, within which flow the elements..."

"A flower blossom known as "Revelation" which grows from the Ley Lines in response to someone's desire for battle. Perhaps the treasures within it can help one recall the perils that they have experienced once before..."

"A flower blossom known as "Wealth" which grows from the Ley Lines in response to someone's desires. Perhaps the treasures within it can satisfy a person's monetary desires, for now..."

So to clarify, the original resin would naturally be a part of these as well as the outcroppings and as such, I do find it quite interesting that a certain number of primogems can replenish the Traveler's supply of it at any time it's acquired. This is important because the implication suggests that in theory, the Traveler can do this whenever they'd like.

This original resin can also be used to make something called condensed resin, which is described as:

"Crystal filled with immense energy. The silver-white Irminsul trees and blossoms are connected to ley lines that have become blocked over time. The energy contained in tree resin can purify the obstructing substance."

This implies that with enough of this resin, one could purify (enhance the bounty from the ley line blossom) any unnatural thing that could be obstructing the ley lines, something that primogems could expedite quite speedily in decent amounts. This, however, is nothing compared to what comes next.

Fates

There are no words that can describe how absolutely broken this is in terms of lore and implication, but I can give it a shot.

In short, wishes are the gacha system in the game, but as I've broken down the lore for every item in the game that I have here, it's only natural that acquaint fates and intertwined fates will have some lore of their own as well.

So to start off, the acquaint fates are used on the permanent standard banner. There's a brief description provided here:

"A seed that lights up the night. No matter the distance apart, guided by the stone's glimmer, the fated will meet under the stars."

This likely indicates that this certain type of fate is meant for the standard characters on the banner which will come regardless of the time that passes.

However, one must also take into consideration that the design of the acquaint fate was different from the CBT yet again.

As a result of this, I can no longer believe that the triquetra design is simply a coincidence. Primogems are naturally going to be used to make acquaint fates in this instance as the Genesis Crystals have this motif of infinite interconnectedness and primogems are a part of that cycle.

The intertwined fate lends credence to this statement as its description state:

"A fateful stone that connects dreams. Its glimmers can entwine fates and connect dreams, just as how its glimmer links stars into the shapes of a heart's desires."

This is painful to me. As if it could not be more obvious than this. We get it. Crystals = Primogems as Triquetra = Infinity. I suppose it had to be changed for that reason, then.

So this description is obviously calling people out every time they pull for the character they want, but a fateful stone that connects dreams? At this point, I'm being handed the motifs and themes within the story without even having to work that hard for them.

As I've stated before, dreams are described within the crystals and the primogems and as such, they are going to have to do with the intertwined fates. However, I will also make the point that this is the first time that it has blatantly said anything about the stars. As the primogem is meant to resemble that shape a bit, the connection is also there.

It is also interesting that the act of using these is typically described as wishes, so in the sense that primogems are described as condensed hopes and dreams, that isn't as far from the truth as one would think.

Byproducts

Speaking of stars, the byproducts of using these fates manifest in objects called masterless starglitter and masterless stardust. These are the remnants of fates and are described as such within the wiki except a point of note would be that they are referred to as a 'surplus of destiny'. This likely refers to the characters and objects acquired.

The descriptions are also more akin to off-hand comments such as 'perhaps it can create new destinies when in large enough quantities' or 'perhaps it can light up other corners of the universe.'

It should be noted that these objects can be used to buy more fates, but it takes a somewhat substantial amount to do so. Depending on which characters are acquired, you can get a decent amount of these, which can be used to buy things from 'Paimon's Bargains', which segues almost perfectly into this final section.

The Bottom Line (+ My Theory)

After taking into consideration everything I have gone over in the eight hours I have hyperfixated on this theory of mine, I have one conclusion and one conclusion only. This starts with a question. A small one, a seemingly innocent one. One that you wouldn't usually pay attention to but with all of this? You have to now.

Why is Paimon, of all people, able to convert starglitter and stardust into fates?

Well, I believe it is because of what has been established over and over again in the entirety of this post. Take a moment to look at her for a second or two.

What do you see? Is it familiar? With all that you know now, does it strike a chord within you?

It should, as Paimon is the only character in the game to have both the four-pointed star and the triquetra on their person and character design, and if the 'genesis crystal=primogem' ratio is to be made manifest within the speculation, this means that this little person may be unaware that they are a segment of the universe itself.

People have been saying that Paimon is the Unknown God. People have been saying that Paimon is the final boss of the game. People have been saying that Paimon will betray the Traveler in the end.

Well, I believe that every single one of them is wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen of the viewing party, I submit to you that Paimon is none of those things at all. I submit to you that such petty labels and titles mean absolutely nothing to her in the grand scheme of things. I submit to you that she is simply above them all.

We can discuss Teyvat, Celestia, the Abyss all we want but if this information brought forward is right and primogems really are the established way in which it can manipulate the world for our dearest Traveler and his flying companion? Then who are we to stand against it?

I, Narky, submit to you, the reader, that Paimon is, without a shadow of a doubt, the First Descender.

Do I think that I'm reaching a little bit? Maybe. But does the evidence lie? No, I don't think it does.

To clarify further, no I do not think that the Unknown God and the First Descender are the same people nor do I think that they are on the best of terms. So with that in mind, the theory will make a bit more sense.

Final Notes + Commentary

I've been scouring the internet and the wiki for over eight hours now, so I think I'll end this here.

So . . . what do you think? Will this entire theory be retconned in a future update? Will people much more observant than I pick it to pieces? Am I simply off my rocker and not medicated enough? Pick your poison! As I've said before, we go ham or we go home and I'm sitting in my house.

I would like to thank the Genshin Impact Wiki for having all of this stuff available to scrutinize and read to enable me to do this. All images and quotes I use are from there. I would also like to thank @scalpel-mom-mori for sending me an ask about Khaenri'ahn lore, as this is what got me started on this.

Leave your thoughts, questions, and commentary if you'd like. I'll get to them when I get to them.

Thanks for taking the time to read all of this and maybehaps you took something from it that you can utilize somehow.

Until next time, I see you when I see you.

Minor Inconvenience

.

“Why the hell are you here, huh? What made you drive three hours to a town you absolutely despise to see someone I quote, ‘have no interest in whatsoever’.” The glare you send him makes him lower his gaze, letting out a frustrated sigh before moving right along to stand on his mark.

“Answer me!” you yell, storming over to your mark to make him look at you.

“Are you really that blind, Em?” his voice dropped, just barely above a whisper, eyes searching yours as they swum with anguish.

“For all these years, did you think it was my stupid family that kept bringing me back here? No. It was you. I kept coming back for you.” he got closer until you stood chest to chest, heart pounding against your ribcage, breaths mingling into one.

“You’re lying.” you murmured, trying to look elsewhere but his eyes wouldn’t let you, held you captive before his hand came up to cup your face tenderly.

“Am I?” his gaze dropped to your lips for a moment, face inching closer to yours as let out a shuddering breath.

There was a pin drop silence on set, the tension was so palpable, you’d never felt so present or alive in a moment. Taking in a deep breath, your eyes closed on cue.

“Tell me to stop, Em…”

You felt a single tear escape down your cheek before your lips touched. The magic you had felt last night came rushing back.

“I think we’re gonna go off-script. A lot. And not just on set.”

The chuckle that escaped your mouth quickly got drowned as Tony pressed his lips to yours, taking your breath away.

It was everything you had imagined and more. It wasn’t a lie that you had pictured kissing this gorgeous man in your dreams like a thousand times before. You just couldn’t believe it was happening right now, and that too not as a part of your film.

His fuller lips caressed yours almost carefully at first, testing the waters, growing confident as your hands found themselves trailing up to his hair, pulling him closer.

Fireworks.

Yes, that’s what it felt like. Fireworks lighting up your whole body, setting your entire being on fire.

He let out a soft grunt as you tugged on his hair, taking an opportunity to slip your tongue past his mouth. Tony welcomed it by sucking on it gently, hands splaying down your back to pull you closer by your hips.

You didn’t realize when he’d walked you back until your back hit the wall behind, a soft moan escaping your lips as he kissed down your neck, lifting your dress up while grazing his fingers on your soft skin.

All a part of the scene, you reminded yourself. Momentarily forgetting that you were on set and the cameras were rolling.

It was a task in itself.

Parting from his intoxicating kiss was hard. But you did eventually, resting your forehead against his as you caught your breath.

“Well Miss Y/L/N…” he smirked, caressing your cheek lightly.

“I don’t think we’ve got anything to worry about tomorrow.”

“Is that so, Mr. Stark?” you whispered, giving him a little push so he fell back on the bed. His cock twitched under his pants at your words. And he didn’t even have to ask you to call him Mr. Stark.

His fingers lightly teased your thighs, leaving sparks in their wake as you continued kissing. Tapping your thigh as your cue to jump, Tony caught your legs as they wrapped around his torso, kissing down your neck. You let out another soft moan as his cock teasingly brushed against your clothed core, desire pooling between your legs.

“Still believe I’m lying?”

Tony smirked against your flushed skin as he felt you tug on his hair, a way to get him to quit teasing. With every contact of his semi-hard cock, your blush grew deeper, the fact that you were on a set with more than twenty people watching made it worse.

“And cut! That was excellent!”

He didn’t let you go immediately after the director yelled cut, instead he held onto you, gently letting you back on your feet but staying close.

“Could you give us a minute, please?” Tony called out to the director, waiting for them to clear out. While they did, Tony chuckled and lay his head on your shoulder.

“Look what you did, Miss Y/L/N.”

Purposely brushing his groin against yours, he made his erect cock poke at your clothed entrance, eliciting a gasp. Grinning, you grabbed his hand and made his fingers brush along your moist panties, letting him know he wasn’t the only one affected.

“We’re terribly unprofessional.”

“My van. Five minutes.” he muttered in a hurry, stealing a quick kiss before heading out to his vanity van, giving you a wink over his shoulder.

Sure enough, you found yourself gripping onto his shoulders while he pounded into you, the dresser inside his van bearing the brunt of his thrusts along with you. Trying your best to stifle your moans, you bit down on his shoulder, feeling him tug on your hair.

“Hey! No biting.” he warned, secretly enjoying it though.

“What are concealers for, hmm?” you smirked, running your tongue over the mark you’d made.

After last night, you couldn’t get enough of him. What began as a soft but passionate kiss had quickly escalated into more, on his bed, then in front of a floor length mirror in the hotel room, and then in his shower. And you still weren’t content. The man was like a drug.

“You left the door unlocked?” you whispered as you glanced at the door which was casually left unlocked.

“That’s half the fun, sweetheart.” Tony grunted against your hair, his hips never faltering while your hand accidentally knocked off some of the knick-knacks kept on the dresser.

He had a point. The rush of excitement you felt knowing anybody could walk in on you sent your body into overdrive, your walls fluttered around him, bringing you to an early orgasm.

Tony spilled into the condom shortly after, leaving feather-light kisses along your neck while you came down from your high.

“How are you still single?” he asked softly, helping you put your underwear back on.

“Could ask you the same thing, Stark.” you fixed your hair in the mirror, the post-sex flush on your skin still evident.

“Who said I was?” He hummed in response, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you close.

“What?”

Your heart was beating wildly against your chest, hands remained glued to your side waiting for an explanation.

“I mean, I met this great girl on set, it’s quite new, she’s amazing though, smart, funny, beautiful. Borderline sex addict. Perfect for me.”

Peepaw Afton Thoughts #3

Thinking about William begrudgingly watching all the cheesy rom-com movies you like. He would roll his eyes and put on a show, but secretly he gets very invested. And, William would do anything to see his partner happy, even if it means sitting through movies that are excruciatingly mediocre with no real story, just because they make you happy and mean something to you.

(This is so very self-indulgent because I am extremely passionate about film, and have a handful of movies I watch at every minor inconvenience.)

I'd like to think that after watching some of your comfort movies or shows William would find a way to subtly quote them to bring a smile to your face whenever you're anxious or upset.

William absolutely adores you. He would do anything to see his bunny smile, even if it meant sacrificing his dignity. He would move mountains for you. Anything you want, all yours in a heartbeat. Who would William be to deny his bunny of anything they wanted?

Pulling Strings in your Veins: A Post on Switch-Induced Effects

'So, you're telling me switches can have unexpected effects beyond their intended purpose? Why would there be effects to the physical body when it is just some mechanism??'

Well, yeah i am! And it seems to happen to a portion of us despite not knowing why. It does sound confusing, like how we often view the appendix as a seemingly useless organ, but.. did you know that the appendix actually serves as a safe place for good gut bacteria during infections? Then, maybe we can start to think that these effects are not meaningless/random and have another mechanism/reason behind it?

What the Jerk?!

For those who don't know, jerk/twitches can be defined in this quote:

"A muscle twitch is a short contraction that sometimes occurs repeatedly − think eye twitching. Such movement can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, but it isn't usually painful." From USA Today

In general means, twitches can happen from nutrient deficiencies/dehydration (some minerals helps muscle contract and loosen), not getting enough rest, stress, too much coffee, or due to neurological conditions. It also can vary from being subtle like a nudge, to strong as in it can be visually observed too!

When these contractions became painful, they're called spasm/cramps and are caused by the same reasons above, added with overexertion or after having a strenuous activity. Overall, it is still wise to make sure you ate adequate meals, stay hydrated, and rest enough to minimize the effects whenever it comes by, alright?

OKAY.. but, this doesn't explain the whole ordeal we have as systems, so did we hit a dead end? Not really, i have some actual answers going on here after some many reading and sense-making;

What could that possibly be..

If you have heard about the Central Nervous System, you must meet it's younger brother: Peripheral Nervous System, CNS and PNS for short.

So, if CNS consists of the brain's and the spinal cord's nerves, the PNS would be every nerves and sensors outside of it--your finger tips, neck, face, legs, all of the limbs you can think of.

Now you're thinking, why mention this? Because the only bridge where neuro/psychological meets physical, is from the central to the peripheral! When CNS is where all commands and actions comes from, somewhere must be equipped to running those tasks accordingly, which is PNS's job.

Now if a switch is happening, many things are happening inside the brain as well, in chemistry and electrical-impulses wise. Apart from adjusting to the part that will be out next, it has this kind of recalibration from the CNS to be attuned to this part which could create peak brain activity, sending overexcited impulses in the initial stages,, pain also counts as the byproduct sometimes. Now this is where the the impulses are not intentional by the CNS, but caught by the PNS, which is why many physical effects happen right before, or in middle, or after the switch has been complete though it differs for everybody. (it can be as minor as shivering or eye-defocusing too)

Here's a similar condition (yet not widely used in the medical world) that you guys can learn too, dropping it here!

Okay, but why?

We now know what has been causing it, but probably that isn't satisfying enough for you as an answer? No worries, i gotcha covered!

We have been equipped with many involuntary responses when something happens, take some for an example:

Knee jolt reflex when a medical hammer is struck

Sudden retraction from painful, hot water

The coughs that comes along from an accidental choke

These things seems to happen without us needing to think of doing it manually, still with the examples as references, i will apply different reasons to why twitches happen in a switch;

When muscles are too stiff or loose, twitches can happen to reset the tone to its original state

It can be used to regulate muscle coordination to ensure movements are 'calibrated' (like how i explained before)

Could be due to adjusting to the CNS's output of energy/activity, especially if it suddenly changes

A response after being surprised by external stimuli (which could make sense because the body 'wakes up' again after the next fronter comes in)

Yes, but...

But not all experiences twitches, and instead felt weak or unbalanced or unable to coordinate movements or all that,,, how did the opposite happen?

Nobody's brain work the same way, that's the first thing you must remind yourself. This itself has a whole different involuntary response that comes with switching, which i also have the answer for;

Some switches have excitatory effects, while some have inhibitory effects depending on the person, some might even experience both kinds or just one.

If the PNS responds to any orders the CNS give, the CNS, instead of creating crowding arrays of nerve impulses, tells it to tone down everything on purpose to reduce any clashes from brain synapses or anything related to prepare for the next stage, make sense? Which then brings us to less controlled limb movements or balancing, or even sometimes affecting wakefulness.

Here are some inhibitory-related conditions, one way or another!

Takeaway

Just a simple reminder that any existing stress or conditions (mental or physical) can affect the quality of the switch, which is why it's important to take care of one's health to reduce the intensity of the physical symptoms that comes along with as well as safety measures to reduce any discomfort or harm that can happen in the process.

Sadly, i do not have a say in how to specifically help systems with any excitatory or inhibitory responses, coming from a system that has smooth transitions with little to no effects, so i want to hear how you guys experience and handle those moments! This can also be a moment where you guys share tips or tricks that can benefit others too, so i appreciate any contribution related to this topic!!

So, what do you guys think about this? let me know your thoughts alright?

Cait comp'd her book to The Locked Tomb. THE LOCKED TOMB COMBINED WITH LORE OLYMPUS. NO. NO NO NO. IN WHAT WORLD ARE THESE TWO IN THE SAME SENTENCE. I NEED TO SCREAM.

Apologies in advance, but these are two polar opposite series and it's a joke Cait thinks she can combine the two without Gideon Nav manifesting in her apartment and throwing hands. Oh my god.

I won't try to do spoilers here because I think you would personally vibe with the series, it's right up your alley and I highly recommend the audiobooks, especially while drawing. It's currently three books and the last one (the fourth book) should be out in Fall 2024. The Locked Tomb is starkly gothic and dark (gruesome death, resurrection, body horror, weird twins, turbo cancer (an actual quote from the books), and so much more), full to the brim with horror, sci-fi, and modern-day political commentary, and is apologetically queer as fuck. I'm talking lesbian enemies to friends to lovers, I'm talking Maori-coded rugby player who loves to talk about her porn magazines while trying to keep her homeless chihuahua of a girlfriend from getting herself killed (said chihuahua controls skeletons), I'm talking using clever ways to sneak in memes, I'm talking loving the side characters as much as you love the leads and the author loves them all too, I'm talking Catholic guilt but make it sexy and gay, I'm talking a literal ghost shows up with a fucking gun. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a series you need to re-read multiple times to try and figure out every little detail and people to this day are still finding out foreshadowing from the first book alone. There is no random lines or dropped ideas, every little detail is planned out and connects. It's great.

To compare a series made by an insanely smart and openly queer woman (who is also from New Zealand, shout out to Tamsyn Muir) to a series that obsesses over a straight couple down to making it a Blue Boy and Pink Girl, a series that acts like putting in queer characters are a chore, a series that treats sexual assault like a minor inconvenience at worst, a series that can't even plan a week ahead much less years, a series that is written by an immature woman-child like Rachel, is so offensive to me.

Well damnnn I'll take this as a glowing recommendation! It def sounds like something I'd enjoy. I've been wanting to get more into audiobooks so maybe I'll make The Locked Tomb my first stop ;3 If/when I do get around to it, I'll definitely let y'all know my thoughts! <3

27, 28, and / or % for the Ask Game, please.

Sorry for the late response!

27. Favorite quote from one of your fics.

Ohhhhhh, that's actually kind of a tough one. Well, in regards to my most recent (ongoing) fic, To The Accursed, one that immediately comes to mind is this one quote from Leiurus in Chapter 15:

“I can attest to the benefits of clueless exploration."

This line's been amusing me ever since I wrote it. The way she says such a unabashedly ridiculous statement in such an articulate, confident way I feel makes this a perfect display of Lei's reckless enthusiasm in how she navigates through her journey. I tend to write dialogue in a mostly improvisational fashion, with this story being no exception.

There's honestly a lot of lines I'm proud of, but I picked this one since it came so unexpectedly yet I can't get it out of my mind lol.

28. Still remember a favorite comment?

I don't get comments on a frequent basis, so basically EVERY COMMENT that I get is one I will always remember <3

%) A feature you wish ao3 had.

I wish AO3 could save filters when you're browsing either a specific fandom tag or multiple different tags. For example, I consistently have to filter out anything with the non-con and underage sex warnings on them, so it would be nice if I could set those filters similar to how it works on filtering tags here on tumblr. In the grand scheme of things it's a pretty minor inconvenience, but still one I would like to see fixed one of these days.

Lionel: I think I crossed that line when I got a date.

—

Lionel: So, what is Eli to you?

Lionel: You are literally making a Valentine’s day card for yn. 
Eli, pointing his hot glue gun towards Lionel: You’re on thin fucking ice.

yn: Eli is still mad about it, but me and Lionel were drunk and thought it was funny.

—

Eli: So, are you two dating now? 
Lionel & yn: Yes. 
Eli: Why? 
Lionel: I happen to find yn very appealing. 
Eli: Yeah, I can understand that. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with yn.

—

Lionel: Are you a painting? 
yn: What-? 
Lionel: Because I want to pin you to a wall. 
Sinclair: OH GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY YOU WANTED TO HANG HER OR SOMETHING-

yn: *takes a huge ass bite out of the popsicle* 
Lionel: *Concern*

—

yn: I’m afraid of clowns. There, I said it. 
Lionel: yn, if you don't like clowns, why are you hanging with Eli?

—

Lionel: Ooh, somebody has a crush 
Eli: Pfft, I don’t have a crush on yn I just think she’s cool, it’s not like I stay up at night thinking about her. 
*Later that night* 
Eli, very much awake: Uh oh.

—

Eli: If I say I love you, will you say it back? 
yn: Yes. 
Eli: I love you. 
yn: It back. 
*Later* 
Lionel: Why is Eli crying face-down on the floor?

—

Eli: yn you can’t move in with Lionel. 
yn: Why not? 
Eli: Well, um, how are you going to feel when he sees you without any makeup? 
yn: I’m not wearing makeup right now. 
Eli: Holy crap, you’re beautiful.

—

yn, at an awards show: Well, first of all, I’d like to thank Lionel, the love of my life, for telling me Eli was going to win so don’t bother to prepare a speech.

Sinclair, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs? 
Lionel: It means like in hand-to-hand combat. 
Sinclair: Ohhhh- 
yn: Both of you get out of this kitchen.

—

yn: Well, remember when Eli made a romantic dinner for me? 
Lionel: yn, he microwaved you a pizza.

—

yn: So, what’s Lionel's type? 
Eli: Brown eyes, kind, oblivious, good sense of humor, turtle lover. 
yn: Sounds kind of like me. Too bad we’re just friends. 
Eli: Did I mention oblivious? 
yn: Yeah, why? 
Eli: Okay, just making sure.

—

Lionel: So, how long have you and yn been together? 
Eli: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. yn and I are not together. No. No. 
Lionel: Really? Sixteen ‘nos’? Really?

-/

*Eli and yn flirting with each other yet again* 
Lionel: And you two are sure you're not dating? 
Eli: 100%. 
yn: Of course not! Why would you think that? 
Lionel: I wonder why that possibility would even cross my mind, yn. I fucking wonder.

—

Lionel: Come on, Eli. Nobody actually believes that yn is in love with me. 
Eli, to everyone: Raise your hand if you think that yn is helplessly in love with Lionel. 
*Everyone raises their hand* 
Lionel: yn, put your hand down.

—

Lionel: Did yn just tell me she loved me for the first time? 
Eli: Yeah, she did. 
Lionel: And did I just do finger guns back? 
Eli: Yeah, you did.

—

yn: What is everyone for Halloween? 
Lionel: I’m superman. 
Eli: A clown. 
yn: So I’m guessing we don’t need to get you a costume then?

Charley: You're drinking orange juice.

—

Lionel: They don’t make them like me no more. I’m the last of my kind. 
Eli: Thank god.

—

Charley: My toxic trait is that I truly believe I could win a fight against anybody if I was mad enough. You might have the strength and size, but I have the pure, unfiltered rage.

yn: *Stops pouring two glasses of wine.* Accidentally?

—

Sinclair: I got grounded for a whole week just because I came home late. 
Lionel: Well, you deserved it. I mean, getting everyone's hopes up like that and then showing up again.

—

Sinclair: How is the most beautiful person in the world? 
Betty: *blushing* I— 
Lionel, butting into the conversation: yn is perfect, thanks for asking.

—

Betty, dashing into the room: WHY AREN’T THE DISHES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER?! 
Sinclair: …What does that even mean?!

—

Sinclair: What’s sexting? 
Lionel: I'm not having this conversation with you.

—

Dave: Did you just refer to a knife as a “people-opener”? 
Charley: 
Charley: …Should I not have?

Murderer: Any last words? 
Charley: Do you think I'm cute? Be honest.

Dave: Hey, can I get a sip of that water?

Sinclair: BECAUSE WE WERE OUT OF THE PLASTIC ONES!

—

Sinclair: I was going to suggest we do Marilyn Monroe and JFK roleplay, but I’d get way too into it. 
Betty: What- how? 
Sinclair: You’d be like “come to bed … Mr. President” and I’d be like, “I need to increase the amount of American military advisors in South Vietnam by a factor of 18.”

—

Dave: What do you call disobeying the law? 
Charley: A hobby. 
Dave: *crosses his arms* 
Charley: That we do not engage in.

—

Charley: *mixing different alcoholic beverages together* 
Dave: What are you making? 
Charley: A mistake.

—

Betty: Are you coming to bed? 
Sinclair: I can't. This is important. 
Betty: What? 
Sinclair: Someone is wrong on the internet.

—

Sinclair: *Laughs* Babe, you had a crush on me? That’s embarrassing— 
Betty: We’re married.

—

Sinclair: What if Cinderella was a baking slave instead of a cleaning slave, and her name was Mozzarella? 
Eli: Don't ever speak to me again.

—

Sinclair: Punch me in the face. 
Lionel: ...Punch you? 
Sinclair: Yes, punch me, didn’t you hear me? 
Lionel: I always hear ‘punch me in the face’ while you’re speaking but it’s usually just subtext.

—

Betty: Isn't it weird that people kill mosquitoes just because they're annoying? 
Sinclair: Damn, if people did that to each other, Lionel would've killed me years ago.

—

Lionel: Sinclair noticed only today that he can label his email inboxes, but he took apart his entire bloody laptop two weeks ago. 
Betty: This reminds me of the Sinclair who couldn’t turn on the coffee maker, but remembers about 500 digits of pi. 
Lionel: I’ll be delighted to inform you that this is the very same Sinclair.

—

Sinclair: You know what I’ve realized? 
Lionel: Some thoughts are better left unsaid? 
Sinclair: Nice try, anyways-

—

Sinclair: I truly go into housewife mode when I'm someone's soulmate- like, I'll make you pancakes and bacon every morning. 
Betty: This is a lie. 
Betty: I'm literally dating him. This is a lie. 
Betty: HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK A PANCAKE, WHAT IS THIS.

THE LEADER UC & TS Top in Class Selection ▶ Richard Brandson Vision: A world without the death penalty is a better world

Quoted, Richard Brandson's Blog:

I’ve long spoken up against the death penalty, a punishment so cruel, inhumane, and riddled with error and malice that it should have no place in our modern world. Its proponents claim it deters crime, yet nothing could be further from the truth – and study after study refutes that claim. Look anywhere in the 55 countries that retain the practice: the death penalty doesn’t make communities safer, has no noticeable impact on crime rates, whilst wasting precious resources that could be better used elsewhere.  

The truth is that – more often than not – the death penalty is used as a tool of repression and totalitarian control. Countries like Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Nigeria, and Pakistan hold thousands of people on their death rows – most detained under bogus allegations and convicted without any regard for due process or equality before the law. Many are never executed, but that is not the point. Here, capital punishment is a convenient tool to silence any form of dissent and take inconvenient critics out of circulation.

Even in nations that take pride in the fairness and transparency of their criminal justice system, the death penalty is marred by terrifying institutional failures. In the US, 195 individuals have been exonerated and freed from the country’s death rows since 1973, often the result of new evidence or DNA testing, but also revelations of gross misconduct by investigators and prosecutors. It’s an astonishing statistic: for every eight people that were executed in the US, one innocent person has been freed, often after languishing on death row for decades. With a rate of error so egregious, it is feared that a significant number of those that were executed may have been innocent, too.

I am particularly troubled by the disproportionate use of the death penalty against those who are often already at the margins of society – ethnic and other minority groups, the poor, or people with intellectual disabilities (note that in many places, those characteristics intersect).

In Uganda, years of anti-gay hate and propaganda fuelled and funded by US evangelical groups have not only forced much of the country’s LGBT+ community into hiding, but a terrifying new “anti-homosexuality” law seeks the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality”. The first individuals have already been charged under this legislation, and I fear that it will lead to a spiral of hate and discrimination.

Iran has seen a sharp rise in the number of those who were brought to trial in the wake of the democracy protests of the last twelve months, following the brutal killing of Mahsa Amini. Dozens have been executed, and hundreds more are feared to be sentenced to die, simply for challenging the corrupt regime and demanding human rights.

Equally disturbing is the repeated use of the death penalty to punish non-violent drug offences, whether in Iran or Singapore. Those executed are almost without exception small-scale traffickers, already at the lowest rungs of the illicit drug supply chain, and often bullied, pressured and coerced by violent drug cartels. Their senseless deaths make no difference to the global drug trade, their ranks are easily replenished by others in similarly dire circumstances.

Having followed capital cases around the world for many years, I think there is neither fairness nor justice in the death penalty. As my friend Bryan Stevenson has pointed out:

It’s an imperfect sentence administered by imperfect people.

And that alone should be reason enough to end it.

Asra: for some reason people are scared of staring into the vast depths of the ocean that is actually only a few miles deep. Yet find comfort staring into the endless abyss that is the sky above us

Kyle: It's Halloween let's do something REALLY SCARY

Hunter: we could go to bed early and be alone with our thoughts

Kyle when trying to force themselves to learn something they have no care about nor interest in;

hunter's body: coffee is not a meal, eat a vegetable, sleep, PLEASE!!!

Hunter: guess I'll never know

Hunter's body screaming internally: Oh my god!!!

~~~

Kyle: checking the clock before starting something*

Kyle's ADHD: well it's 9:14 which might as well be 9:30 and that's basically 10 which is almost 11 and I have to be in bed by 11 so I don't have time to start anything

~~~

Kyle: everyone is so much taller than me, I get to be picked up so often, just whenever I want! I just have to ask and it's GREAT! Now if only I could actually see where I was going through this stupid crowd.

Portia: I will make them pay for the way I was treated. The streets will run red with the blood of those who mocked me. All shall perish before the rage of the opressed. My vengeance draws near-

[amethyystfox]

My dog lives a privileged life. I work from home so it’s very rare that she’s apart from me for more than a few minutes here and there; she even sleeps in my room and I tuck her into her bed with her blanket every night and sometimes I even sing to her. All her physical and emotional needs are met. She’s given nutritional food that she likes, she’s given treats on the regular, she’s loved on and played with as well. She lives a privileged life.

So when she had to go potty the other day and it was raining, it was literally the worst thing that had happened to her all week. And she threw a fit accordingly. I had to bargain and cajole and command and in the end physically drag her out into the wet to even go pee, because it was getting close to 18 hours at that point and there’s no way she wasn’t uncomfortable.

Anyway, what I’m saying is that billionaires are like my dog. All their physical needs are met. They have food and a comfortable home and tons of people catering to their every whim. So when something happens that to you and me, a quote-endquote “regular” person, would be a minor inconvenience at best, it’s literally the worst thing that has happened to them all week. But unlike my dog, there’s no one that can put them in their place and call them out on it for their own good.

So when someone on Twitter calls Elon Musk a pissbaby, it’s literally the worst thing that’s happened to him all week. So he fires back, and then bans them. But instead of being called out on this entitled and out of proportion behavior and abuse of power, he had an army of fanboys backing him up and telling him he was totally justified. And then he goes and cheers himself up with a new car or a food item that costs more than I make in a month.

And I don’t think people really appreciate how unhealthy that is. Not for the people who have to deal with the aftermath. Not for the people sucking up to the billionaire and enabling their behavior. And especially not for the billionaire themselves. Because people who are that level of entitled aren’t happy, not really. Because when every minor inconvenience is the worst thing that’s happened to you all week, every week is a shitty week.

Just my thoughts. Now I’m going to finish my pizza I got for lunch so I can give the crusts to my dog. I left her alone to go to the store and pick up the pizza, and it’s the worst thing that’s happened to her all week.

there’s a weird misconception amongst some people that the problem with our society is that it’s hedonistic and materialist. it’s the opposite… nobody is having any fun and almost nobody owns anything

weird show dynamic i thought of

this is a main character, it's clear that the show wants you to like this character, but because of alotta factors they're near the bottom on the list of likable characters, some people don't like them because they cause most of the problems in the show, others don't like them because compared to almost every other person in the show they don't have that much lore or depth, but most people don't like them because they aren't that likable as a person.

this is a side character that doesn't show up often, it's pretty clear that the show doesn't know what to do with this character and the only reason this character even has a backstory is because the show noticed the amount of fans for them specifically, they don't appear in that many episodes and when they do they don't really add anything to the plot.

this is also a main character with the kid they took under their wind, C's a really good dad but the kid is obnoxious, spoiled, and doesn't respect C in the sense of basic human respect let alone the respect a child normally gives to their good and well-meaning parent, also if the problem of the episode isn't caused by the main character A, then it's caused by C's kid, the phenomenon of "tumblr sexy man" has effected C, he has daddy issues and is a loving father, to the internet, what more can you ask for from a man?

these are the villains, the first is the weak and smart one, the second is the strong and dumb one, the third is the hot one and the forth is the one that looks the most intimidating but really acts like a child and loves caprisuns, what can i say, they're a minor inconvenience at best and compared to A they are much more likable, also, as the internet does, there are an ungodly amount of simps for every last one of them, same with ship art.

this is evil little gremlin character and you will give him the respect he deserves, he goes to A's wedding and spills red wine on his white tuxedo and the fans applaud him, he throws open cans of beans at passers by and the only concern is the waste of food.

conservative media would have you believe that if you started watching this show you'd be bombarded by gay jokes, references, and quote "a brainwashing agenda" when in reality the fact they're gay and/or trans isn't even revealed until halfway through the show and is brought up exactly 2 times after that.

this is the two friends that need each other, not in the romantic "i need you darling" way but more like "please don't leave me nobody else likes me i need you" way, only S exists in this show with the single purpose of giving advice and the other one is only there to annoy S.

this is the really tall quiet killer character, their actual appearance looks like it's from the trevor henderson wiki but kinda like long horse they don't want to harm you and really are there to warn you of something, they try their absolute best to protect the rest of the cast because in their eyes they're like tiny baby kittens that don't know what they're doing.

these are the other parent and kid duo, imagine tape 18 from the anatomy tapes combine with the concept of a peaceful Gabriel (not from the bible from mandela catalog) to make a loving parent, and the kid, is really, really silly, they keep bragging about starting first grade and make alotta dad jokes.

the feral animal, they don't have intrusive thought, they are the intrusive thoughts.

this is the stoner character, kinda like shaggy, it's never explicitly said in the show but it's pretty safe to assume that they've smoked weed before, but other than that they're a pretty nice person and don't have that much depth but it doesn't really effect the character.

this is the couple, the woman's in a high position job and is obsessed with fashion and make-up, and then the guy wears the same jeans for 5 days in a row and used to work as a cashier or something, TL;DR the embodiment of the phase "she's everything and he's just ken".

this is the wolf, he's not violent, he's pried out all his teeth to prove this, he's nice. this is the little girl, she was the one that took all the teeth the wolf pulled out to make sure no other being would ever hurt her again.

this is the fancy one, the fancist fancyton fancealita fancero fancy-nancy fanceophila fancocholas fancy one, they're so damn extra that if they were in space they would use telekinesis to make their hair and clothes move in the quote "wind".

this is your one friend, either named kyle or connor, he chugs redbull and monster energy, wears clothing suitable for july in january, only has musty tanktops and over-sized band T-shirts that he will never listen to, but instead of punching drywall, he respects women's privacy, you've never seen him mad in the 5 years you've known him and this is honestly more concerning now, he also texts like it's 2008, owns the sames shades since 1999 and has a collection of hats/caps.

this is the person in your friend group that goes to raves and dresses like a 2014 tumblr scene queen (not the artist) pinterest mood board, it's never said or shown in the show but it's safe to assume they have done weed and/or other drugs, they also have a scene queen (the artist) merch, hair extension, and kandi collection.

they serve absolutely no purpose, they have no backstory, no lore, nothing even close to an interesting trait, no favorite anything, no personality and they contribute literally nothing to the episode they're in, the season they appear in the most and they contribute -0 to the entire show, and yet they're still a main character and have to come with everyone else on every adventure, everyone else has an elaborate outfit specific to them, this character? the same hoodie and sweats.
