btw really kind of hate those “dean being a good brother” gifsets where it’s just physical caretaking
come on guys
#he is not a good brother he is not a good partner#and I at least love him for that it is central to the dynamic#it’s giving My Dad handing me a bag of chips after blowing up at me and making me cry for 4 hours#like I’m not saying sam doesn’t lean into dean’s physical handling/feeding/touching#he does. they’re both getting something out of it it’s a holdover from their childhood it brings them comfort#however I AM saying that psychologically speaking it is CRUMBS. compared to everything else going on#it does NOT heal the damage#prime example of this is the church scene in sacrifice#what’s a smattering of ostensibly nice words and a hug gonna do for that ancient wound#next to nothing.

My actual favorite part of wisdom saga is telemachus trying to lean against Athena (he thought about that for .03 seconds and then was like nah !!! :D she's my friend not the goddess of war!!! Good to see that the audacity is running strong in odysseus's family) and then just passed threw her and fell on the floor. And then Athena did not move at all!!! And just stood there looking at him.
#Epic the musical#Wisdom saga#Wisdom saga spoilers#Epic the musical spoilers#Athena and telemachus are my favorite girlie pop dou#Her little oops earlier you know she was thinking back to how she just use to toss odysseus around with her full strength#Athena in that moment :....did I give odysseus brain damage? Is that the way he is? Or was he always a freak?#And then the way she just stood there while telemachus is sprawled through her ??? Amazing#Favorite moment#Athena does not get humans 101#You know what#I'm about to be back on my Athena just lives odysseus's house bullshit#It's not even an au it's practically Canon in the odyssey#And honestly?? After that she's needs a treat of all her favorite people under one roof just relaxing and healing#Rip diomedes sorry you're not included in this one#Athena#telemachus

hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

win the fight, save your life.
#octaviablakeedit#octavia blake#octaviaedit#the100edit#the 100#*#i just saw this quote and it of course SCREAMED octavia#and spawned so many thoughts about how everything octavia is#and becomes is unresolved childhood trauma (and further trauma on the ground of course)#comes from a miserable life of not being allowed to exist to suddenly being given the EARTH and devouring it grasping for strength for powe#for connection for life for everything she was denied for 17 years#and because octavia grew up in violence and death#every lesson she learned being harder and more violent by simple nature of it#and how everything octavia's ever been taught is fight and violence and demolition of weakness#slay your demons#i am not afraid (yes you are you've always have been)#and so how could she end up any other way#but finally she does confront this she finds a way to make peace with her darkness she finds peace and happiness#and that saves her life#ultimately she does choose healing in large part so she can be a healing influence in a child's life rather than a damaging one#and i love her sooo much#but beyond being meta of course.. octavia a summary literally and figuratively

#23 Healer
Indie would LOVE to be a healer. She's always been very observant, noticing when people need help often before they do, and her triaging skills have vastly improved during her time as the WoL. In theory she'd be a good healer, except for the fact she is not in tune with her own aether.
Indie is predisposed to aether sickness and cannot always manipulate it in the way she needs to. She can see and feel what needs to be done, but she can't always do it. And so she often feels helpless, a failure. Casting is hard.
This is her current Astrologian outfit. She's signed up for it, but rarely practices.
Star Globe Matoya's Hat Republican Medicus's Chiton [Abyssal Blue] False Nails [Metallic Brass] Quaintrelle's Ruffled Skirt [Lavender Purple] Seigneur's Longboots [Jet Black/Abyssal Blue] Blue Byregotia Choker
#indie lore#in reality indie does not heal because I don't think i would be observant enough to notice people dying until it's too late oops#either that or I’d be overhealing and dealing zero damage#oc indie von galen#ffxivglamtober2024#ffxiv glamour#ffxiv

I just caught up with ep 63 and I'm fucking vibrating. The difference of the Bor'dor reveal and the Dusk reveal! Dusk spending their entire time with the party stirring up drama, once caught out still openly provoking and trying to find an angle to straight up kill Fearne's parents, and the party still struggling to find every reason to let them go, let them live. And Dusk never gave a shit. Why would they! They were a fey assassin! And still the Hells fought and argued for them and let them walk away despite openly remaining a threat.
And then we get Bor'dor, wet paper tissue of a man, tragic backstory up to the gills, genuinely spending time to bond with them, having his little practice session with them being his proudest moment, sharing vulnerabilities. And though he drew first blood, he did it trying to run away, not kill! He did it having seen these people murder his friends and drag their dead bodies out of the hole! He was helpless on the ground, all but begging them to end him because he saw no reason to keep going! There was enough turmoil and doubt in him that he could probably have been deradicalized! He hated them but he loved them too!
And had this been early campaign, in all likelihood they would have let him live. But this is a Bell's Hells who have already been betrayed once by an ally, who lost Eshteross to the Ruby Vanguard, who lost half the fucking party to the Ruby Vanguard, who went on a grueling journey to get Laudna back, who struggled and struggled and still failed to stop Ludinus and ended up separated and scared and not knowing whether the world is about to end or not, whether their friends are alive or not.
And they were done. They did not fight for him. This is war. Were Dusk to show back up now, I doubt they’d survive the encounter.
#cr3 spoilers#critical role#cr3#bor'dor dog'son#dusk#i talked at one point about how c2 was all about the rewards of trust#about taking risks and being rewarded#c3 feels more like the darker side of trust and risk#sometimes you trust and get stabbed in the back.#sometimes you take a risk and your mentor dies‚ or half your party does‚ or you fail to stop the beginning of the end of the world#and you have to keep on going anyway bc it isn't over yet#i also once said there could’ve been a campaign 2 where matt leaned into the distrust and the paranoia#that it would’ve been interesting but much harder on the characters (beau caleb and fjord especially)#and i feel like that’s where laudna and orym are at right now#but bc they didn’t start out with paranoia and distrust as a core flaw the way many c2 characters did#they have better chances of learning and growing from this without being permanently damaged by it#while caleb/beau/fjord NEEDED to have their trust rewarded to be able to grow and heal#lessons in distrust would’ve split the m9 but has the chance to forge the bells hells#idk i just find it fascinating how different narratives serve different characters without eiter narrative being wrong#nella talks cr

I'm so peeved that literally every aspect of the Gerudo in BOTW/TOTK serves to make me mad bc I love the Gerudo desert and I think that some of the most interesting NPCs to speak to are Gerudo.........alas
#august.chr#trying my damndest to piece together a BOTW/TOTK timeline bc I dont believe for an instant that the divine beasts are 10k years old#and i'm scraping my brain trying to think if any cutscenes from pre-calamity mention the ban on voe in the city#bc i'm trying to justify an in-universe reason why the gerudo would implement such a policy#given you know. they're a trading city. and banning men. means banning half of all possible trade partners.#my best guess is that the gerudo were always somewhat isolationist but were much more lenient#until the calamity hit and the gerudo faced serious damages from ganon's destruction and vah naboris causing sandstorms for a while#in the turmoil the gerudo banned visitation but after enough years it became obvious that this was destroying the city's economy#so they opened the gates back up but only to women. because the gerudos' need to find men to sustain their population in combination with#the new Inaccessability of gerudo women invited a rather predatory type of crowd. so this discriminatory gate system was an attempt to cull#this behavior. but it only made it worse because it just cemented gerudo women in the cultural perception as hard to get and Foreign#<-(aka Interesting skeevy edition)#so to the gerudo opening the gates means the not unlikely possibility of inviting harassment from scummy guys but not opening the gate will#never allow this terrible dynamic to heal. and instead of trying to forge a healthier relationship with dating for gerudo women#the gerudo have leaned into this gender seperationist ideal. as seen with mattison and the whole culture of removing young gerudo girls from#their fathers and the kingdom of hyrule at large in favor of staying in gerudo town#anyways sorry i hate the gerudo's worldbuilding but i actively hate the fan approaches to make it Woke Gender Essentialism more#it's literally not better if you go 'well the gerudo would let trans women into town if they just claimed to be women' like.#no they wouldn't. they let link into town in the gerudo vai fit because he passes as a woman in the outfit. if he changes clothes in town he#stops passing and they kick him out.#gerudo town is literally TERF city it's a city where a society of women have isolated themselves and banned men from interacting and will#only allow women they subjectively deem to be Womanly Enough to enter their gates#and teach young gerudo girls that men are dangerous and that they have to grow up in gerudo town until they come of age. like it's literally#a law that gerudo diaspora have to move to gerudo town before puberty#anyways sorry this is like the third time in the past 2 years i've drafted a post about how i think the gerudo's worldbuilding#is both illogical and abusive to the gerudo growing up in it. but illogical and abusive does not make for unrealistic worldbuilding either#so i want to find a way to work within its confines while also complaining loudly about it the entire time

Power surges. Her nouliths hum, the pendulums whirling about her in a cloud, thrumming with aether. Healing eluded her for so long, but the techniques of a sage made those muddy waters clear. She can stand in the epicenter of the battlefield and shield her companions, protecting them from their foes. She has no fear. —level 90 compendium
#ffxiv#ff14#final fantasy 14#gpose#gposers#ffxiv sage#sge#ffxiv gpose#lvl 90 compendium#myreia screenshots#aureia malathar#oc tag#gosh i love sge so much#first healer bias maybe? lol#but also barrier healing clicks in my brain because all my dai playthrough builds were based around building and maintaining guard + barrie#i prefer mitigating damage before it goes out over healing reactively after the fact#i'm sad this screenshot didn't come out that well it does a disservice to how much i love this class#but i also have so many gposes of aur in her sge kit that i think i was tired LOL#anyway sge is how she really learned to heal#shields and barriers are just an extension of blm's manaward in her mind 😌#queued

is it not exhausting how often sam ends up having to tend to the needs of beings who harmed him irreparably
these guys sent him to rescue LUCIFER lmao. i dont think i need to explain how fucked up that is given their history
#(yes this includes dean in prev seasons btw)#lucifer JUST assaulted him using cas's body like 8 episodes ago lol but are we gonna get any sort of emotional resolution to that? doubt it#and while this season has been mostly soothing in terms of samndean's relationship in that the writers clearly decided it was time for them#to ''heal'' after seasons upon seasons of damage to their foundation...#a lot of that healing comes at the expense of sam's feelings/recognition of sam's trauma. he's always the one to apologize. there is so#much emphasis placed this season on sam not looking for dean while he was in purgatory (3 seasons back) bc im sure the writers got#the message that the fandom wasn't happy with that. as always dean's perspective is the loudest on all sides. but where is SAM'S closure?#they're not actually healing if it's just sam ''sucking it up'' like he always has to and taking dean's side like he always does#that got long. i have a lot of feelings abt this it makes me very sad.#spn#liveblog tag#11.21

Yall know that drawing meme of the parent coded character wrestling their charges on child leashes? That what I keep seeing with Willowfine as the parent.
#oxventure#oxventure wyrdwood#willowfine wyrdwood#or maybe more big sister stuck babysitting than a mom#cause running someone down to heal them (lol healing damage) is like fixing a vase before your parents get home?#does any of this make sense to anyone else?#turtle talks

I feel like I'm going to throw up, there's something so wrong with me and with the world. It's not okay, how can anyone be okay
#domt mind me just realizing that i will never be able to be a good person because good people dont exist#and the world makes criminals of us all#what do i do? theres no way to heal the damage of my existence#i cant handle this i wasnt made for this#i truly believe humanity will kill itself off either on purpose or on accident and when it does i just pray we dont take every other species#with us#i think humans are evolving and discovering things we cant handle knowing#but only some of us will hold onto that knowledge and let it drive us insane#the others will ignore it and continue to only be insane in the same way they always have been#this all sounds crazy i sound crazy but i promise it makes sense to me#and it fills me with unparalleled dread#i cant even think about it without Dissociating

why the fuck does a human mage get 3 health bars anyway.
#i can accept the olympus lostbelt conditions favouring wodime's magecraft giving him a massive offensive advantage#but why the fuck does he have such a girthy fucking health pool and like 5 kinds of damage reduction/mitigation/heals#hakunonon vs the gacha

I am currently extremely annoyed with this stage
Really feels like a "Oh you don't have Melania? Well fuck you" stage.
As of right now the only beast type characters that do mental damage on EN are Medicine Pocket, Melania, Dikke, Pavia, and Nick Bottom.
Out of all those options I only have Dikke and Pavia and I refuse to pull for Melania because I'm saving for the dog that comes in four days (maybe if I get Pickles early I'll burn the rest on Melania since that's an obvious gap in my team rn anyway) Pavia does big damage but he's frail as hell, Dikke's healing isn't enough to sustain him and idk if I built her wrong but her survivability isn't the best and her damage is lacking.
My other options for mental damage that I have built or semi built is Click who can only do single target damage and Charlie who is fucking weak to plant type enemies.
How tf am I supposed to manage killing the type 1 robots every time they spawn so Iverson doesn't get a free hit on my team every turn while making sure the big robot doesn't get a permanent damage increase because I didn't destroy the damn shield while keeping my team alive while clearing the stage in 15 fucking turns without over levelling?
I refuse to go above the recommended level even though from what I've seen the people who cleared the stage have at least one character above recommended level. There has to be a way to clear it without going over recommended level.
#I thought maybe Bkornblume would help since she does so much damage the 30% reduction doesn't even matter and the debuff is wonderful#but then I need sotheby to sustain Pavia and Dikke and she keeps the team alive but does no damage unless her ult pops#and her ult doesn't even help that much unless I have stacks of poison on the enemy and heal on my team#Regi's bad at video games#fuck trying the hard stages#pavia reverse 1999#reverse 1999 dikke#reverse 1999 melania#reverse 1999
