#idk the thing is it was very personal but it also wasn't That personal i think like we truly just happened to be the last

[chronichlesofnillory]

Very much the same! I tend to explain it as everything I do comes and goes like seasons and sometimes you need to let certain things rest so you can bring new things to it later. I'm very much like this with pretty much every aspect of my life from crafting to cooking and baking to my magic.

The three things that worked for me were:

+ Make sure you have magic that isn't all ritual and isn't all buried in steps and things that you have to remember. I know there's that timeless sort of shitpost sort of serious "is stirring intention in your coffee magic?" but yes, if that's what gets you doing magic it's magic. Doing magic for me is talking to things, it's "oh I keep having this dream or image pop into my head, maybe that's something I should sort of just go with and see where it ends up". There's a lot of people who get a lot out of studying and reading and taking notes and treating their magic like a college class and if that works for you that's great (seriously! It is great to find what works for you) but I need breaks.

+ If you want to write stuff down for later treat it like you would a recipe you would find by one of those bloggers who has the 15 paragraphs about their grandma's favorite porcelain frog in their frog collection, and they write every step to the meal like you've never cooked a day in your life. It might feel weird or silly writing why you're using basil instead of rosemary in the margins or whatever, but if it means that it somehow jogs your memory or re-teaches you something do it. If you need to remember where the spell came from and what mindset you were in and the life events that were taking place, write it down. You could have audio files you link in a digital grimoire, or link the youtube videos or instagram posts or whatever that inspired you. Sometimes taking notes that actually link all the pieces together make you remember more.

+ When you do "study" or get super in the moment into magic, do the stuff that you actually like because you're more likely to keep up with it or remember it when you come back to it. I always have to re-teach myself crochet every 3 years because I dislike doing it, but I still want some crochet things so I just save it all up until I huff and puff and go "okay fine, it's now." But sewing both hand and machine I remember no matter how much time, same with embroidery or clay or chain maille or playing certain video games or making certain recipes. Because I have little youtube playlists or websites that act as "refreshers" and I like doing those things, if I haven't done chain maille in 5 years I can watch one video and instantly be able to make you a Byzantine bracelet or dragonscale piece. So if you're spending your time reading or doing magic that is just meh to you and you're not excited about it, not only will you burn out fast but you're not going to remember it. If you don't like energy work or working with crystals or wicca or traditional magic or only doing protection magic just do other stuff!

I really wanna engage with my practice more, I tend to get phases where I’m really into something and then drop it and forget anything I learned by the time I come back, it makes me feel like a perpetual beginner

Surely I’m not the only one?

[sengenism]

What's the moment you started shipping Sengen? Mine is definitely when Gen and Senku agreed they'll condemn their soul together to hell, it's small but it's the moment I started loving this ship.

I know there's the Gen asking for cola while injured scene but idk... They condemning their soul together to hell stirred something deep inside my heart...

- 🧅

the "senku ishigami and asagiri gen will be condemning themselves to an eternity of hell" scene is so insane i think about it all the time

funny thing about this scene is that the only other time they used such phrasing was in the light novel, where it narrates homura's loyalty to hyouga

Even then, Homura had no regrets. She had offered her very own future to the other prisoner, Hyouga. Even if the future was pitch black, if it was to fall to hell with him she did not mind in the least.

homura... who is in love with hyouga... hmm interesting

btw loved them ever since the observatory scene in the anime!! the anime, specifically, because i read the manga first. but only when the anime came out in 2019 did i realise how romantic the observatory scene actually was... like... it hit me that this was the most perfect gift one could present to senku then. how much thought gen put behind it all, to the point of manipulating senku into giving him a hint to calculate senku's birthday.

it's such a lovely scene and gen orchestrating the whole thing with the help of the villagers truly speaks volume for his love and care for senku. and i don't necessarily mean love in a romantic way– well, could be– but no matter the form of love the reader interprets this scene as, it's undeniable that gen genuinely loves senku for being senku. it is the purest kind of love, for he admits he likes senku regardless of the gain he gets from it.

and this scene is so so so so gen. there's manipulation, sure, but there is also kindness hidden behind it– that's the core of gen's personality. he is a good man who hides his kindness behind layers of manipulation. similarly, he manipulated chrome into picking the card that would allow chrome to ride the parachute first because he knew how baaaadly chrome wanted to.

and one of the best parts about the observatory scene? inagaki-sensei had revealed in a Q&A session that the saturn that senku saw through the telescope was merely his own mental imagery. with gen's limited science knowledge on making a telescope, the telescope made by him and the villagers wasn't advanced enough to see a planet. which means senku was so touched, he had lied about the telescope being good.

anyways, i've talked about how important gifts are to the ishigamis here and i'd like to point out that this makes the gift mean so much more to senku than a simple (maybe useless) telescope. thanks for coming to my ted talk~

wip day of the week

@effervescentwolf tagged me. some wednesday. to post a wip! thank you wolf... I don't know if I'll get around to finishing this presumed deaddie thing bc it's weird to write an arc while the show is. co-currently writing that arc at the same time as you. but i wanna share the opening scene :) idk who's writing these days... @tallsinspace if u wanna share anything pls feel free. anyway without further ado.

Three days without contact is not that long. Buck tries to convince himself of that fact, but he had also tried to convince himself that two days wasn't that long; twenty-four hours; twelve. He checks his phone again. Eddie still hasn't read his last message, or the one before that, or the ten before that. His leg is bouncing so hard that Hen and Chim's solitaire game jitters on the table, Kings mixing with the Queens.

Hen sighs. "Buck," she says, and waits for him to glance up at her, "if something was going on, I'm sure someone would—"

He's shaking his head before she finishes. "I'm—" his voice rasps worse than he expected, and he swallows with a click. "I'm not his emergency contact anymore. When he started at his station, he—yeah."

Eddie had sounded so apologetic about it, even though it was probably stupid for Buck's name to be there for as long as it was after he moved. It's not like Buck can do anything to help Eddie from here.

And the other thing? Buck had thought, and didn't ask, and kept thinking about, and not asking.

There's a pause, and he just knows they're exchanging one of those sad, little looks everyone keeps giving each other whenever they think he's acting especially pathetic. He's glad he didn't see it; if he did he might scream.

"You could text his mom?" Chim offers, then very quickly adds in a way that means Hen just raised an eyebrow at him, "Not that I think anything's wrong."

Buck turns his phone over and over and over in his hands. He doesn't have her number. He'd asked for it, before Eddie left, and Eddie had gotten quiet in that bad way, told him nothing was going to happen, which he knew as a first responder was never a fact, so that just meant he didn't want Buck to have it. Buck hadn't pushed, because—he didn't know why. Because if that was what Eddie needed to do, then Buck was going to let him do it.

He could text Chris, but if he texted Chris is your dad okay? and Eddie was okay, just busy, or ignoring him, or lost his phone in the El Paso desert, then it would be—it would be a whole thing, and Eddie was handling it. Alone. Because Eddie handled everything alone.

His phone buzzes in his hands—startling him so bad that he drops it, clattering onto the table at full volume and full vibration and mixing the solitaire game beyond salvation.

"See," Hen says, poorly masking her own relief.

Buck fumbles for his phone and—stares. Then he answers at the same time that he untangles himself from the chair and heads for the railing of the station loft for the illusion of being out of earshot. "Chris," he says, almost all air, "hey—"

"Do you just"—there's a vitriol in Chris's voice that would have made Buck stumble if he were walking—"not care or something?"

Reflexively, Buck looks over his shoulder at the table; Hen and Chim not bothering to hide that they're watching. They make eye contact, and maybe any other time it would be comforting, but right now there's only one other person in the world he wishes was here for this conversation.

"I always care, Chris," Buck says, keeping his voice calm and careful as he starts down the stairs, thinking in the back of his mind about the bunkroom or maybe outside; if the alarm goes he'll have to be the man behind, no other option. "I care like crazy, but could you tell me what's wrong?"

On the other end Chris sucks in this sharp breath that has Buck bracing for another drop of acid—but nothing comes. All he hears is Chris's ragged breathing, each hitch making Buck's heart lurch in his chest.

"Chris?" he asks. "Hey, c'mon, can you talk to me?"

"Did," Chris starts, and the anger has drained so completely from his voice that he just sounds unbearably small, "did abuela not tell you?"

Buck didn't make it to the bunkroom. He didn't make it outside. He's stuck, exposed, in the middle of the firehouse as the Earth slides off its axis into the death spiral of a blackhole.

"Tell me what?" he asks.

[skeletonh0e]

ahhhh hellooo, I adore your headcannons🥹. if I cann, may I request for classic and fell sans headcannons (or the usual sanses that you write) with a reader who's bubbly? like she's very happy go lucky. she gets very flustered when the boys flirt, but very oblivious when others do it. so it will just be like reader is talking to the flirty person and sans is just like "hey y'know I've got a bone to pick with someone today" the reader being "eh whyy what's wrong :(?" "oh nothing you need to know <3"

SORRY THIS IS LONG IDK HOW TO WRITE REQUESTS. LOVE YOU THO.

Thank you so much! This one sounds fun! And decided to stick with just Classic and Red for rn, but I can always do the others in the future

Bubbly Reader! (Ft. Classic & Fell)

Classic Sans:

Well aren't you cute?

Listen, Sans is not immune to sunshine girl charm

Given he struggles with his own depression I think he genuinely admires anyone that can actually stay positive especially in very trying times

There's some teasing here or there, but he does genuinely appreciate someone being able to brighten up his day in any shape or form

Sometimes he'll just be staring at you while you yap on about something, seemingly just lost in your endless good vibes

A part of him kinda wonders why you chose to be with him, given he's not exactly the most optimistic or energetic guy. But he's always grateful for it as you do inspire him to try more

Which trust me, is saying something

Also gets a kick outta you being easily flustered

He's not the type to exploit too much, but loves seeing you turn into a bright tomato whenever he pulls a dumb pick up line

Classic: You gotta space ship?

Y/N: .....why are you asking that-?

Classic: I need to make a trip to ur anus >:3c

Cue him chuckling while you bury your hands in your face

The obliviousness actually triggers his more naturally protective side though, especially since he's a little impressed at how you just....don't pick up that you're being hit on. The type to kinda just watch as someone attempts to make advances on you while you don't......get it.

It's cute in a way but also now he feels a need to keep (even more of) an eye on you.

Always intervenes before things can go too far though, rest assured. Depending on how the encounter goes he'll either cheekily chastise you or give a firm but loving warning to not let your guard down

Especially when he's not there

Underfell Sans:

Literally just

Red: Someone will die

Y/N: Of fun! :D

Don't know how you ended up dating possibly one of the grouchiest if not THE grouchiest guy alive, yet here he is. Somehow both annoyed and endeared by you and your antics

On one hand he is kind of fascinated, this man has been through it and wasn't brought up in a nice place, he doesn't get that much joy out of anything anymore. Then you're here being a piece of sunshine like it's easy

On the other hand he thinks this makes you an easy target to be manipulated or tricked so-

Again both annoyed by it as it triggers protective instincts, which unlike Classic ARE already pretty strong to begin with and endeared by it cause here you are being all sweet on him

I'll say he definitely enjoys how easy it is to fluster you and he takes full advantage of that

His favorite past time is seeing all the ways he can turn you into a blushing stuttering mess

If you didn't want to get bullied then you shouldn't have gotten with him, alright?

Only he's allowed to do this though

Anyone else gets the guard dog treatment (it's his name sake after all)

Tells anyone who tries to back off in a not so friendly manner and he's never been above escalating things to a fight

Thankfully you normally stop him before it gets that far

Which he's far less tactful in calling you a dumbass for not noticing that others are very clearly hitting on you, which he means well but still

Rude >:T

warnings: tarot is not one fixed truth, you're in charge of your life decisions. / this reading was made with the major arcanes only.

tags: @huen1ngk4i @aaniag @svteensworld @kooqitas @unlikelysublimekryptonite @bewoyewo

seungcheol: the tower — he is in a really thoughtful time, where he knows he has a solid career, so he's contemplating what are going to be his next steps. he's thinking of a beginning.

jeonghan: the sun — he is not happy or sad, just stable. he's very racional and comforting himself, knowing better days always come and everything is temporary.

joshua: the emperor — he is in a really closed up energy. he seems pretty confident and a bit more aware of himself. he is really listening to his wants and prioritizing himself, and that for some people might be coming out as being cold.

junhui: strength — he's just going with the flow. he's not thinking too much or overthinking the future, he's just living right now. thinking next steps might get him anxious currently, so he just decided to let it be and let time says.

hoshi: the hanged man — he feels pushed back, like he wants to do things he can't or is being stopped to do. he could make a decision that could ease this feeling, but he doesn't.

wonwoo: death — he's needing a new beginning. he might be having a bit of a hard time right now, his energy is looking very dark. considering he's enlisting, i think that's big part of it. he's really in a bad mood and ends up acting like he doesn't want to because he's too sensitive and on his feelings. he might have hurt some people on this process, but he's also trying to cope.

woozi: the moon — he always needs something new. he's been thinking a lot and understanding everything has pros and cons in his life right now, he's trying to make the right decisions.

seokmin: the world — he's closing a cicle right now or finishing a project or this moment in his life. he feels mature and grateful, he feels quite relieved actually, something like "i can't believe i made it, it's finally over" but he's also proud.

mingyu: the magician — he's trying and looking different things, he has a lot of tools but doesn't know yet what he wants to come up with it. he's having opportunities but lacking taking action.

minghao: the charriot — he might travel soon, he's also trying and looking for different things but not like mingyu, hao knows the moves he wants to make and is doing so.

seungkwan: the empress — the man is just overflowing. he's taking care of himself, being a lot with his family. i honestly don't see any work here or looking for new work since svt is preparing a comeback so technically there's work. (there's just raw sex energy in this reading, i can't explain it, idk if this man is trying to have a baby, but honestly, it feels like it.......)

vernon: wheel of furtune — well... he's having ups and downs financially and trying not to let it impact his work. he feels lucky on work (with his idol/public figure life) but lost in his personal life.

chan: judment — he feels left or looked down on work, for the superiors more specifically. maybe he's feeling left out for future projects and doesn't have any expectations to it to change, but he's staying silent about it... here's advice from the cards, speak up, communicate, it might make a huge difference.

i wasn't planning that but just ended up doing a reading..... i won't wait for saturday, here's your gift :) !!

[sayakxmi]

Bro, don’t worry about it & don’t force yourself. If you’ve got time & energy, awesome, but if not I won’t be mad or anything.

And it’s cool, I know this can get tiring after some time, so I propose that after this answer we’re putting a close to this particular discussion (unless you really feel the need to add something, then by all means). There’s other shit to talk about independently, lol.

Side-note: did you know there's a keyboard shortcut to publishing a post? I've just found out XDDD

Agreed on the concepts & side characters. Really wish they got more attention.

I mean, I like time travel a lot, so the premise does it for me, but I 100% agree on the execution being far from great. All of this, really. I'm pretty sure I ranted about El Dorado in some author's notes, too. Or comment. Idk. I definitely ranted. [Yeah, the rant is here] Like, bro, they've been tormenting these kids for hell-if-i-know-how-long, then they have the audacity to ask them to cooperate, and GOUENJI AND KIDOU FUCKING SUPPORT THAT, but I think the final nail in the coffin for me was the fact that Shindou, of all fucking people, was doing his absolute damnest to make things work, where the people who did jack shit to deserve a guarter of this enormous act of benevolence and were the ones to acually benefit from his help - all they were doing was make things difficult for him. If I were Shindou, I would've just been like alright fuck you then (leaves the match like Fei).

And don't even get me started on the fact that Feida, for all the destruction, are infinitely more sympathetic than El Dorado could ever dream to be. Like, I'm sorry, your system is so oppressive it turned children into terrorists, and your answer to the problem is... mmm, let's erase them from existence. Yeah, sure, let's perpetuate the status quo that led you to this situation. And the fucking vaccine thing. Right, it's the SSC who are the problem, and not the system, of course. (sarcasm) Ugh.

Side note, yaeh, I think watching a dude die should've left a bigger impact, but the only person who kinda refers to it at some point is Tsurugi himself, who wasn't even there at the time.

(I think I enjoyed CS more in the past, but a side-effect of rewriting something is that you have to kinda recognize where the issues are, and that makes you all the more attentive to these, eh.)

Yeaah. I could believe it being one-sided for trust issues reasons, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Admittedly, I'm not sure if Fei's trust issues are something I wrote for him or were they in the actual show. As I've said, haven't finished the rewatch, but I had to reread my stuff to remember how I wrote it, so it's way more fresh in my memory.

YEAH. Also, man what a fantastic point to all of this. Because, really, Kinako did trust Asurei rather easily, what a mess. Tbf I can probably chalk it up, at least a bit, to her times being a bit... Well, wars don't break out overnight, no matter what it might seem in books or media. Especially considering many of the SSC we see seem... nice. Outside of the Feida business, that is. Giris and Meia are dumbasses in love, Fei is a nice kid, SARU is somebody who just wants everybody to get along. I can't imagine them just deciding one day Imma fuck up the world. Hell, we knows from Fei that he was abandoned for being an SSC. The system of the new world was one that marginalized and abused them, and it was the matter of time before somebody as ambitious and powerful as SARU would appear - assuming there were no others. Anyway, the point I'm making is that Kinako was living in very interesting times. The raising tensions, the shadow of a war, all that jazz. I can imagine that even if she didn't believe Asurei, the situation could've been so exhausting for a child that she was, that she would've gone for, if nothing else, to catch a break from it all. Bonus, I can absolutely see Kinako not being against SSC, which would've alienated her further.

ASDFGHJK, rip Wandaba. Imma be honest - I don't remember how I feel about canon Wandaba. I don't think I care all that much. I love him in SIYH, he's a standin adult when there's none, but in canon I just have no memory of the guy. He's there to point the gun at people and not be the coach like ever, I guess.

Also, for the record, this time I was not shamelessly self-promoting myself. Like, in this entire answer here. I'm mostly referring to SIYH because it influences my perception of things and characters, and I have a much better memory of it than canon. Basically, I might be biased, and I'm giving you a heads up that I might be biased XD

Yeaaaa. To be fair, I do think the time of the reveal is good BUT it required more build up to it, yknow? More hinting stuff. Fuck, have Fei be distrustful of adults, for example. Some occassional vague flashback/reference to something. Instead in CS it feels a little random.

Man, I didn't even rememberd that, lol. Torb could've been such a fucking interesting character if they tried - if not for himself, then for others. He's a kid that accidentally got yeeted into the past & raised by dinosaurs, and, like, he gets a chance to see his parents? He doesn't do it, and I'd say it could be a good representation for adopted kids - they don't have to see their birth parents if they don't want to, and Torb feels comfortable as Touchan's son - but I can't not feel bad for the parents, when it was stated to be an accident. They didn't want their child to randomly disappears. They probably mourned him. At the very least, I would've loved for Torb to give it more thought, especially given the theme of family in CS. Idk, could be interesting to have Kinako and Fei disagree for example - Kinako tries to encourage Torb to at least see them, while Fei's like if he doesn't want to, he doesn't, if they lost their kid, it's on them, should've been more careful. Maybe have Tsurugi get involved, too, since family is a huge theme for him as well, and CS is the arc he supposedly matures into the character he is in Galaxy, so that could connect it nicely. Hell, have KARIYA be invoved, as the token orphan of the group. Otonashi. Kidou. Fuck, Gouenji would work, too. FUCK maybe Torb's parents were scientists at El Dorado, an accident happened, and they pleaded with their supervisors for help, but were refused. BOOM now Torb could have motivation to join Raimon. Ok, I'm AU-ing here, so I'll stop.

I have a soft spot for the Omega Trio. Alpha being my fave, he's great. Also, consider this: Omega Trio as parallels to Gryphon Trio. It's more with my AU characterizations of them, but, eh, I wanted to share. Alpha-Tenma, Beta-Tsurugi and Gamma-Shindou. I won't elaborate cuz spoilers, except for Tsurugi & Beta - they're easy, cuz they're their respective trio's powerhouses.

Yeaa, so I rememberd it correctly. Nobody but Kariya noticing really feels like It happens for plot reasons, and not because it fits the characters. I mean, I do think it's awesome that Kariya does, but the fact that nobdoy else...

Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy, I am so writing that one down :eyes: Like I defeinitely had plans regarding Kirino and Shindou's relationship, but that convo is just perfect.

Same from me, good afternoon XD

still thinking about them. they're both wearing green sob

i love this scene so bad, kirino walks up to this nobleman with no fear, tells him like it is and when kinako sees it she jumps in to support him, letting him do the main talking and have his moment while she gets to taunt the guy (and use her upperclassman as a shield skshfhfkjs). her support of kirino during this arc was SO sweet. she liked jeanne too, she connected with her as well but she saw that as much as she wanted to miximax with her, it was not something she needed. but kirino did, so she selflessly decided to help him achieve that :( screaming crying throwing up

truly the duo of all time, if chrono stone bothered to give them more moments together

[diazley]

So hear me out...imo Tommy is the perfect person for Buck...on paper. Like, we don't really know that much about him as in like does he want to get married? Does he want kids? etcetera etcetera but let's say he does want all that and Buck wants all that and Tommy is sweet and caring, is better to Buck than any of his exes were to him and he is a firefighter so he understands the work and the hours and how important the job is to Buck and he fits in with his found family and is friends with his best friend Eddie and gets his relationship with Chris, and is basically the whole damn deal okay? Let's say he's the person Buck has always dreamt of being with one day. But here's the thing...

This would've all just been the perfect premise for a happily ever after but, BUT!! Eddie.

Eddie Diaz exists. And he just doesn't exist, he exists as a huge part of Buck's whole damn world. They are best friends but they're also so much more than that. If they were normal about each other and if they haven't gone through a whole lot of shit together and haven't shared their best parts and worst parts with each other and if either of them loved each other any less, then Buck could've made Tommy his happy ever after, but alas! Eddie Diaz exists and that's why perfect on paper doesn't matter cuz Tommy Kinard will never be Eddie Diaz.

the thing with sonic 3 is I can't even be too mad at it. I knew that was going to happen. i love action too much. sonic and shadow had a high speed chase, shadow did the akira slide up a fucking building and then they beat each other up on the moon man. i am a weak weak man when it comes to cool as fuck action scenes and they made that movie for me, I was partly blind to everything else that was happening tbh. I actually will have to rewatch this movie to say anything coherent about it

[bubblegumflavor]

I was just going through my picture folder and stumbled over one I used for a reference once to draw musical Johnny from the first promo material... and he did not have a scar on the reference and someone commented I forgot the scar like I was a committing a crime.

And I just wanted to remind people that yeah, we get to know Johnny with his scar but he also just got it recently. People could draw Johnny before he got jumped by the socs. I see people draw Dally with scars though he is never said to have one. But it is okay to imagine him with battle scars.

Forgetting something isn't a crime. Making mistakes isn't something to be pointed out if not asked for. Mistakes happen. If it bothers you so much, maybe ask why he doesn't have a scar instead of assuming it was forgotten to make the artist feel bad about their drawing. (or imply they don't do the character right)

But also it is okay to draw him before he got the scar or make it look different. Maybe you draw a perspective where it isn't seen. Maybe you draw an AU where he never experienced this kind of horror that happened to him.
