#internal meetings

[multiplicity-positivity]

Heyo, do you have any ideas for stuff to talk about during system meetings? I want to start doing them for my system (for the 20+ headmates that can communicate at least, there's still a lot of headmates I'm not aware of and/or are animals or children, tho I do want to having meetings specifically for littles) i'd rlly appreciate the help! (Also, ur blog is amazing and helped me a TON with figuring stuff out during my syscovery, can't thank you enough for making this blog!!!)

Yo, the topics that could be discussed in system meetings are gonna be heavily dependent on your system itself and the stuff y’all need to talk through or work on as a collective. Some stuff we’ve talked about in the past in our own sys:

- Inner caretakers updating on how the more vulnerable parts are doing

- Discussing our next potential tattoo or other plans for body modification

- Reminding everyone of upcoming plans, appointments, and responsibilities

- Talking through individual developments (for example, one part recently talked about coming to terms with being polyamorous in a meeting, another talked about potential kintypes she was exploring)

- Discussing the body, its health, and whether or not we need to make changes regarding its care

- Updates on our external relationships, who we’ve been in touch with, how our loved ones are doing

- Symptom management (we have a lot of conditions that impact our daily life)

- Goofing around, joking, complimenting each other, boosting each other up

- Opening up the floor so any part who shows up can talk about whatever is on their mind

We could go on and on. Basically, whatever comes to mind, whatever we feel is important, and whatever can help bolster our relationships and connections, we share all of this in meetings. Your own sys can have meeting where you discuss whatever feels important for you all.

We’re glad to hear our blog has helped you guys (and hope it’ll continue to be useful in the future). And we hope this can give you all a few ideas on what to actually discuss the next time you hold an in-system meeting.

Thinking about DP x DC Jason Todd being a revenant again. Here's my scenario. Jason gets called that by some ghost. He's like "what the fuck is that supposed to mean?" He's heard the term before but he doesn't know any actual lore. He googles it. He scrolls past the Leonardo DiCaprio bear movie. He opens the wiki. Sees the words "animated corpse" and gets a chill diwn his spine. He starts reading the first section.

He closes Wikipedia.

That night he has a nightmare that his family buried him, again, this time with precautions. He wakes up in his own grave, full of stones, too heavy to move, to scream.

@nibbelraz's SQH bros AU brings me so much joy

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. Airplane/SQH as a child dressed in yellow and orange robes looks up happily and says "Gege, do you have games on your phone?" The next part depicts OG!Shang Qinghua ruffling Airplane's head with a tired look towards a paper simply responding "No." with a smaller chibi version of him next to his head saying 'What is a phone??' as if thinking internally. Airplane, whines "Awwww..." in response to SQH's No. End ID]

Prompt 235

“Mother, I have made a friend.” 

Now don’t get him wrong, Danny was delighted at the idea of Jordan making a friend, he really was. But the last three attempts had been borderline kidnappings, so he wasn’t entirely sure if he should be. Thankfully it doesn’t seem he’s kidnapped this one. Hopefully. 

Not that he wouldn’t be surprised if Dan managed to kidnap a tiny kryptonian, but the kid- Jon apparently- seemed happy enough to be there. Apparently his grandparents lived in the midwest too, and was happy enough to have someone to talk about it. 

Though um, maybe Danny should have checked to see if his parents knew where he’d gone, because he was not expecting a harried-looking superman to suddenly appear at his window.

i never know how to phrase it but something about the way beatles biographers and people in general view paul's reflexive placating persona and determination to smooth things over as manipulative or duplicitous and john's reflexive barbed persona and habit of lashing out as brave and subversive despite both being equally defensive mechanisms to shield themselves from the world that resulted in them saying things that weren't true says more about how we culturally view kindness or friendliness as inherently untrustworthy or flimsy and anger and carelessness as more believable as someone's true nature than it says about either of them in actuality

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

congratulations to everyone who reached this historical point of seeing men be gay in ancient China without censorship

when talking about the batfamily meeting the justice league, specifically regarding jason todd and red hood reveals, why does no one acknowledge that batman was part of jli during the time of jaybin.

if anyone is from the justice league recognized jason todd, it would be guy gardner, scott free, dinah lance, booster, ted kord, j’onn, and max lord.

give me less hal jordan and barry allen recognizing jason and give me guy and booster. ofc clark and diana would also recognize him (bc the trinity and all that), but get the true line-up accurate in your fanfics

Inspired by recent events:

How does this keep happening?

[the-crooked-library]

I liked how in Nosferatu it’s shown that Ellen not only leaves Thomas behind, lets him go, but she effectively remarries, by dressing up in wedding gown and pledging herself to Orlok and then consumating their sort of marriage. Orlok came before Thomas as Ellen’s dark suitor and Ellen ended up in the end with Orlok, not Thomas. Lilacs as running theme also support it because they are associated with Orlok so even when Ellen was marrying Thomas with lilacs on her head she was involving Orlok into her marriage.

Yes, the lilacs!.. God, the lilacs. She wore them throughout the film, on her dresses, in her hair, as a scent - they're such a prominent motif, and it's very clear that she was never able to let go of her occult nature entirely, despite her very best efforts to conform. The way Orlok reacts to the scent of them in the locket is so telling, too!.. It must've felt like a secret note, passed in code - my first love, I've never forgotten you. Come to me. The hesitation, the slight trembling in his hands as he holds it. The way he keeps it without question, the way he can't resist opening it just to catch the scent - again, again, again. There is something so vulnerable about their connection, on either side.

I think that's why their consummation is so tender sdksjgdjh

underrated relationship in legacy of the force is between boba and hayca mekket, the grouchy doctor/veterinarian who administers his cancer treatment. they have one scene together and they spend the entire time verbally roasting each other in a squabble that culminates in her threatening to stab him in the dick with a large-bore needle

and then next book, we learn that he thinks she's hilarious and is actively looking forward to seeing her again LOL
