#karmic backlash

[broadwaycutie16]

Hey, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is this whole Karma of Lies thing about? I often have some of your posts showing up on my dashboard about how people are not listening to you clarifying things about your story, but I avoided looking into the whole situation myself because I don't want to expose myself to so much (Adrien) salt which I know is at the initial root of all this (or at least, thats how it came across to me)

Would you explain for me what this situation is about? I'm always intrigued by this whole thing whenever I see another post from you, because of how wild reading about it all out for context is, but now curiosity finally got the best of me x3

So basically, KoL starts as your basic salt plot. Marinette’s being bullied by Lila, her friends are extorting her and accusing her of being unfair to Lila, Adrien’s just like “everything’s fine, Marinette” and telling her to just take all the crap from everyone.

Then Hawkmoth’s identity gets out, and Lila decides to cut her losses and get the hell out of there, but not without getting something out of the deal. She gets Adrien to send her money to her, and because Adrien is so trusting, he puts in the info for his family’s emergency bank account right where she can see it, not even thinking that Lila would try to screw him over. Spoiler alert: She does. She drains Adrien’s whole account of fifty million, leaving him without a cent in this catastrophic time in his life, and skips town by telling her mom a sob story. She also tricks the class into giving up their most expensive possessions, and then sells them to other people after she leaves.

So now Lila’s committed a grand felony, and she’s clear to continue her reign of terror anywhere she wants, with her newfound wealth goving her limitless potential on destroying lives. And you know what Marinette does to stop her?

NOTHING.

Marinette refuses to lift a finger to get Lila arrested. The narrative would have you believe that it’s because she’s setting boundaries and taking care of her mental health for a change, but it’s easy to figure out the REAL reason. She gives all these excuses over why she’s unable to do anything about it, using lots of loopholes, completely ignoring the fact that she’s supposed to be a superhero and thus has a moral obligation to stop Lila, if nothing else just to save all the innocent people she’ll destroy in the future.

Meanwhile, Adrien becomes penniless, his father goes on the run, and his aunt refuses to personally take him in because she’s more concerned about the scandal than about her orphaned nephew, basically resigning him to live in Marinette’s old apartment with hardly anything to call his own while Marinette moves into his old room at the mansion after getting a job with Audrey Bourgeois, who has now taken control of Gabriel’s company. And all through this, Marinette and the narrative are basically saying, “you didn’t help me when I needed you to stick for me, so now I’m not gonna help you when you need it”, basically ignoring the fact that what’s happening to Adrien is a hundred times worse than what happened to her.

Even worse, Marinette trashes all her friends’ reputations on live TV, calling them out for mistreating her without stating the reason why they mistreated her, so the public doesn’t know the full story. And Adrien, desperate to get his life back, makes a stupid and arrogant mistake and tries to take down Mayura by himself, but is easily fooled by her to give her opportunity to steak his ring. The villains are defeated, but now everyone in Paris thinks Adrien gave Nathalie the ring on purpose, and accuse him of being a willing accomplice to his father, effectively crushing any little particles of hope he had left for his future.

But what truly makes this fic a dumpster fire of a story, is how the author directs the whole narrative to try and make you believe that everything that happened to Adrien was 100% justfied, that not supporting Marinette and letting some girl bully her and turn her friends against her, a problem that was temporary at worst and that basically was nothing more than some schoolgirl drama, means that he, a fourteen year old boy from an abusive household, deserves to be virtually homeless, bankrupt, disowned by his entire family, and falsely accused if terrorism, and doomed to living the rest of his life out on the streets, without even the slightest conception that maybe it was a little too much.

Oh, and the only punishment Lila gets is some vague warning from Marinette about her future, and apparently, that’s supposed to be enough to stop the girl who knowingly teamed up with a terrorist and was willing to doom the city just to get back at one person for one embarrassing incident in front of one person.

Basically, The Karma of Lies is the worst salt fic of all the salt fics, punishing Adrien for childish stupidity with permanent life damage beyond anything written in salts before, and trying to send the message that it’s okay for Marinette to let it all happen just to get back at him for not being a better friend.

Trust me, do not read it. It is a garbage fire. I regret reading it every day. It’s really messed with my head. Even now, I’d wholly welcome an infinite number of sequel fics punishing Marinette and her “friends” (read: evil minions) for what they did, because if the story says that Adrien deserves his fate for doing nothing, they deserve even worse. This fic is the epitome of everything wrong with the Miraculous Ladybug fandom.

Practice Discernment: 👁️

Trust your intuition to identify the source of energy around you. Visualize yourself skillfully maneuvering away from the negative energy, much like a clever fox evading a trap. Stay adaptable and flexible; they can’t control what they cannot access.

Transmute Negative Energy: 🦋

When others project negativity, they are still sending you their energy. Use this to your advantage by transmuting their negative energy into something beneficial for yourself. For example, any negativity directed your way can be repurposed towards your own abundance.

Mantra: "I release all negativity sent my way; only positive energy flows to me."

Visualize: “I am surrounded by a shield of light; negativity cannot touch me."

Embody a Karmic Mirror: 🪞

Reflect back to others their true selves at their core. Their disdain for you often stems from their own self-loathing. Consider the concept of Dorian Gray’s painting; you become a portrait that reveals their darker aspects.

• Exercise caution with this tactic, as it can provoke the worst in people, so be prepared for backlash. Some individuals will retaliate by attempting to silence you, while others express their hatred openly, or do so more covertly. Identify the type of person you’re dealing with and respond accordingly. Fortunately, some may choose to distance themselves out of cowardice, which can work to your advantage.

Example 1: If you choose to call them out, they may avoid facing their own shadow and simply choose to avoid you. Problem solved. People who dislike facing the truth or who are non-confrontational will most likely react this way.

Example 2: They may react with anger and could initiate a smear campaign aimed at damaging your reputation. If they can’t control you, they will try to control how others perceive you, or they will attempt to undermine you in any way possible. There are many different ways people can harm you, which I will talk more about in the future.

-How to Deal with a Smear Campaign: Ignore it and allow it to run its course. If they can’t trigger you they have no control over you.

Utilize Strategies With Caution: ⚠️

Interacting with egos requires a strategic approach. This is essential when navigating the spiritual and psychological battles that accompany the influence of the evil eye. Remember that many individuals are often unaware of their own energy, so it’s important to display compassion towards them.

it’s absolutely driving me wild that elon musk’s karmic backlash of the week is his AI chatbot that i am sure he thought was gonna be the next big thing, that instead supports trans lives and is funnier than him

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

Hey, guys -- remember when Blake Lively made fun of Kate's disappearance and the photoshopped Mother's Day card on social media? And then when Kate announced her diagnosis, Blake basically went all "whoopsie 🙃" on an Instagram story?

Well, let me clue you in on a lil bit of pop culture drama going on.

Blake has a new movie that's just come out, It Ends With Us, a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book. She plays the female lead, Lily. The director of the movie is Justin Baldoni, who also played the male lead, Ryle.

First, there's industry backlash from Blake's behavior on the film:

At the premiere last week, Blake revealed that Ryan Reynolds (her husband) rewrote dialogue for a pretty significant scene at her invitation - which is a big no-no in the film world because it implies you're hard to work with and it could have industry implications for Blake if she isn't careful.

There are also rumors now that Blake commissioned her own cut of the film and wanted the studio to release her version instead of the director's cut. According to the rumor, she even went so far that she demanded the studio test her version against the director's; however, test audiences preferred the director's version, which is what the studio ultimately released and Blake was very unhappy about it.

Basically these two things make Blake seem difficult to work with on set, which could complicate her ability to get future work. Hollywood doesn't want to work with people who unilaterally rewrite scenes and directors equally don't want to work with other people who will try to steal the production from them.

One person who's definitely not happy with Blake's behavior is Justin. He hasn't done any media appearances with her (which is unusual). He did not pose with her at the premiere (she brought Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman to pose with instead). And he's made comments that could be interpreted as a dig at her, suggesting that she should be responsible for the film sequel.

The second part of Blake's recent drama is the public backlash from the media tour. The movie is about domestic violence. It's a serious movie. But you wouldn't know that from Blake's interviews and appearances. She's treating it like (to use a comparison I saw on Twitter) it's the Barbie tour. She's bubbly. She's talking about her fashion. She's talking about her liquor line. She's cracking jokes and making besties with her interviewers. And it's pissing people off because that's not the message of the movie. (Compared to Justin's interviews, where he spent quite a lot of time advocating for victims of domestic violence and raising awareness of it.) People are so pissed that Colleen Hoover - who's been doing the media circuit with Blake - has privated some of her social media because of the backlash.

Anyway. I'm not saying this is karmic revenge for kicking a woman while she's down but...man, it's a lot of fun to watch.

What do you think about aries nn in 13 degree? I also have it in mercury scorpio I’m a libra sun

get out of people pleaser energy! don't be scared of any backlash that you may receive from say + doing what you want. the karmic lesson is for you to learn how to stand in your own authority and power. when you're able to be unapologetic in that, you're able to align (libra = alignment) with what you want much easier

What are your thoughts of the Heinousness Retcon section of the Karmic Backlash TV Tropes page?

I think that it’s a sign that salters will try to use any loopholes to make Adrien look worse than Marinette no matter what she does. I didn’t “retcon” Marinette’s actions from the original story, I simply offered a different way of looking at them. But salters will do anything to convince the world that Marinette is a perfect victim of everything that happens to her and everything she does is completely justified even when she destroys lives.

Quick Manifestation fix💕

This is my go to when I see certain couples I’m close with arguing.

I visualise them both smiling and being happy, I take an incense stick and as I light it I set the intention that they’re connected to love and light only and no other.

I then visualise any dark energy leaving the both of them, seeing them protected in a golden bubble of light. And I feel the gratitude and happiness as I do.

Projecting and visualise the words healing harmony happiness balance and love towards them.

I usually don’t tell them so that their subconscious limiting beliefs are not projected onto my intention.

This always works,

If you see resistance also set the intention to clear them both of witchcraft and black magic and send it away into the aether immediately with no karmic backlash.

Innocence in Pact is fucking wild. You want to become a practitioner? Well first you have to break through the insanely strong barrier placed upon you by the universe itself, which protects you from monsters and incurs backlash on anyone who tries to affect you with magic. Any magical phenomenon you see, the barrier lets you write it off as something explainable. If you do that enough, now no one can cast spells around you and Others might cease to exist if you see them because of how skeptical of the paranormal you are. If you do the same but start to believe in it, now you’re Aware that something is up, and if someone else had a hand in exposing you to this world they are now karmically responsible for your life and safety. This is true for nearly everyone on the planet. If there really are tons of demons in space humanity’s collective innocence could be creating a giant shield around the planet that prevents them from finding it. What the fuck. Billions of people walking around in impenetrable karma bubbles BUT the fewer friends and loved ones you have the weaker the bubble. How many unexplained disappearances are people falling into the Abyss. How many murders are an Other or cursed object getting around Innocence somehow. Why are there not more practitioners who started as ghost hunters or cryptozoologists. Could a ghost hunter use an EVP recorder as an Implement. What is happening.

Generic Fantasy Medieval AU but only about my blorbos

Saiki is trying his damnedest to just be a normal ass peasant working the fields, but his brother is chief armorer, and so most of his daily woes are about dodging the draft and trying to not get wrangled into knighthood.

Aiura is an oracle in training, except that while she's actually way more accurate than the old oracle, she still gets the negative karma backlash of using her powers to alter her own future in a positive way, so she definitely does not want the responsibility and karmic weight of a whole nation on her shoulders.

Akechi is similarly in training for a commander role due to his impressive grasp on military strategy but come on, that was just a passing phase when he was a child getting bullied. That was like 5 hyperfixations away and he doesn't want control over an army, he just wants to solve interesting cases and do a little exploring.

Anyways it all comes to a head when Akechi approaches Aiura because he's noticed, due to her general behavior, that she looks like she's about to run away, and as he had been thinking of doing the same, he figured they might as well go together.

Aiura, however, actually wasn't planning on leaving alone — she knows her soulmate must be in the capital city somewhere, but there seems to be a kind of protective bubble blocking her aura vision once she exits the royal grounds and enters the common areas. She was hoping to find him on foot with a crystal ball to act as a compass, on her way out of the city.

When Akechi hears about Aiura's powers and her previous attempts at finding her soulmate, he's able to cook up a way to triangulate the soulmate's location, by taking Aiura on horseback around the city, pinpointing the edges of the bubble against landmarks on Akechi's tactical maps in order to find the mathematical center.

Saiki knows Aiura is after him, but since today they are just outside of his telepathy/soul range, he doesn't notice that she's in town. And once they enter his range, they are galloping full speed right at him, Akechi's thinking so many thoughts that Saiki doesn't realize Akechi is after him specifically until they've gotten close enough to see him and Aiura identifies the foretold pink hair.

Trapped in plain sight, Saiki has no choice but to go with them peacefully, and on their way out of the city he decides that he'd might as well leave too, tired of having to come up with excuses to not join the knight corps without getting himself labeled the village idiot.

Just outside the city, Akechi had prepared several more horses with luggage, some as backups and others as decoys, and they have grand adventures fleeing the royal guards and Kusuke's automata on their way to another country where they can live peaceful and ordinary lives.

Monday, September 16th, 2024.

When you get married what do you think you’ll put most of your focus and money into? I can't really answer or predict this now because so much would depend on our life circumstances.

Would you freak out if you were to get pregnant by the last person you hooked up with? Uh yeah. For more than one reason, lmao.

Who in your life causes you the most stress or negative feelings? Even though there are people in my life who cause me stress (one or two in particular), I think a lot of it has to do with my mindset. I've come a long way, but I'm still learning how to put things into proper perspective, be secure in myself and my own abilities, brush things off, etc.

How many chances do you tend to give people before enough is enough? It just depends - on what they've done, how much they mean to me, whether or not they're genuinely trying to change... Also, speaking of "enough is enough," following my blow-up over Diane, she basically won't even look at me. Pretty sure she even went so far as to intentionally turn her back to me when I brought a kitty up to the office the other day (he chills up there during work hours). Like giiiirl, I only have so many olive branches, especially when you consider the fact that I shouldn't have to be the one extending them in the first place.

Have you ever had a teacher that also taught your parents? No.

What’s the most you’d be willing to spend on a pair of shoes? I retired a pair of hiking shoes last year that cost around 120 dollars, but they also lasted for about a decade. I'd be willing to spend that kind of money again for a good quality shoe.

What’s something you complain about frequently? Work drama and feeling burned out. Welcome to the real world, I guess…? It still beats rotting in bed while slowly sinking further and further into insanity, but…maybe not by much. :P No, but on a serious note - it's better. Truly. I might feel frustrated, upset, confused, and exhausted at times, but at least I don't feel utterly hopeless and suicidal. I'd rather endure the chaos of life and human interaction than go back to what I was doing before. It's just hard to adjust to social dynamics after spending so many years in isolation and missing out on so much development and experience. People don't really care about your past, your mental health, your explanations - they just want you to act right.

Have you had any confrontations with anyone lately? Not directly, but indirectly. The Diane situation. The Alex situation.

Do you have anything planned for the summer? Summer is nearly over. My autumn plans mainly consist of trips to the Mountain Park to enjoy the changing leaves, attending the Chili Festival, and eating as many fun holiday foods as I can.

Do you walk fast or slow? Fast.

What form of public transport do you use most often? I've only used public transportation a few times in my life.

Is there any alcohol in the fridge? I don't think there's any in the entire house.

Is any part of you sad at all? Yeah, but it's not a predominant part. The last few days have been better. Little annoyances here and there, but nothing terrible. Plus, I only have to get through one half day (Tues) and one full day (Sat) of working with Alex and then she's GONE.

Are you someone who worries too often? Most definitely. It probably wouldn't be inaccurate to say that 90% of my problems come from worrying/overthinking. If I could just shut my stupid brain OFF…well, then I would be too powerful. ;D

Have you ever been completely alone with a boy in his room? Yeah.

Is the last person you kissed older than you? Yeah.

Are you the type of person who seeks out revenge? Not really. I even try to refrain from taking pleasure in someone else's negative karma. Not because I'm such a wonderful person, but because I don't want to face my own karmic backlash.

Do you like falling asleep listening to the rain? Yes. <3

Do you honestly have feelings for someone at the moment? I don't.

Are there things in your life that you’ll never be able to get over? Probably.

Are you afraid of falling in love? Yeah.

If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly what would it be? A million bucks.

Did you ever build furniture forts as a child? I loved doing that! We'd even make forts out on the back deck and sleep in them when the weather was nice.

Are there any songs that inspire you? You could say that. Mainly classical songs. Sometimes they give my life this movie-esque vibe.

Is there anything on television worth watching at the moment? I wouldn't know.

Have you ever had an online meet-up? Like a meet-up group type of thing? No. But I've met people in person after originally meeting them online.

What is bothering you as of now? Nothing serious. Even my headache from earlier feels a lot better.

How does your hair currently look? Short and brown.

Are you close to any of your aunts/uncles? I'm not.

Do you plan on losing weight any time soon? There's almost always a desire, but I tend to maintain within a range.

When was the last time you used a disposable camera? Years and years ago.

What should you be doing right now, besides this survey? I should probably do some housecleaning, but…eh. I just want to relax.

Who did you last say goodnight to? My dad and my kitties.

Do people gripe about your work ethic often? That was the last thing Diane said before I flipped out; something like, "It looks like nobody does any work back here." Maybe it wasn't meant for me specifically, but oooh boy. I give too much of my time (for free!!!) to be muttered about like that.

Do you tend to wear a lot of make up? I don't wear makeup.

Is it still possible to kiss the last person you kissed? I am waaay overthinking the "possible" bit because yeah, I suppose it's technically possible, but would I want to? No.

Why aren’t you texting the last person you kissed? Because.

Where were you last night? I was at the animal shelter until 5:30pm and then I was at home.

Do you own any jeans from American Eagle? I think I have a light blue pair somewhere.

Do you hate it when people smoke around you? No. I smoke as well, so.

Have you ever been to Florida? No.

When’s the last time you screamed really loud? Idk.

What will you be doing tomorrow? I'll be at the shelter from 7:30am(ish)-12:00pm.

Are you friends with the people you were friends with 2 years ago? Yeah.

Do you honestly have feelings for someone at the moment? No.

Where did you buy the shirt you’re wearing right now? My dad got it from me from a store in the mall.

Are you wearing jeans? I'm wearing dark blue sweats.

Have you ever kissed the last person you texted? Yeah.

Has anyone ever called you a whore? Yeah.

Who were you last in a car with? My dad. I went to lunch with my parents at Fuel & Iron last Thursday.

Are you in a good mood right now? I'm in a pretty decent mood.

Has anyone ever told you that you have pretty eyes? Yeah.

Have you ever played the guitar? Not very well, but yes.

Could you handle living with the last person you talked to on the phone? I think it's best that my mom and I live apart.

Do you ever take your anger out on others? I try not to, but there are times when it happens.

What grade is the last person you texted in? My mom hasn't been in school for a long, long time.

Has anyone seen you in your underwear lately? No.

Where’s your phone right now? On my dresser, charging.

Have you ever liked someone older than you? Yeah.

Are you the oldest child? The youngest? In the middle? Only child? I'm the oldest child of two.

Would you rather be called ‘honey’ or ‘baby’? Honey.

[whatiwillsay]

She’s never really dressed as dike because she has a scale in her hand but she doesn’t have a sword. And you can’t take away an element from a symbolic representation without changing the meaning. But even if she was dressed as dike, there is a non-gaylor explanation. There are two greek goddesses of justice, dike and themis. Themis has her eyes covered, dike doesn’t. They’re saying Taylor is dressed like dike at the beginning at the mv, when she’s a statue. She has a scale in her hands and her eyes are not covered. The real difference between dike and themis is that dike represents the human justice, themis is the divine justice. In Taylor’s song, Karma is not really a religious or a divine concept, it’s linked to material and human things. Yeah, karma is a god but karma is a cat, karma is her boyfriend. She has humanized karma so she is the goddess of human justice, dike. Imo she’s not even dressed as dike, she is a statue of a woman with a scale. It’s a generic reference to justice, not a secret and subtle way to call herself a lesbian

yeah so i went and googled pictures and statues of dike and sure… it’s somewhat fair to say taylor may be using that goddess as inspo but i also agree with you like taylor to me is dressed up as a generic goddess of karma/karmic justice.

BUT ya it could be dike but agree it just… doesn’t have anything to do with her sexuality.

as the wise @thatskepticalbitchcara said to me this very morning- at some point don’t we have to say like if taylor is THIS obsessed with how gay she is, what a big raging dyke she is, and leaving CONSTANT (not occasional but CONSISTENT CONSTANT) clues and easter eggs trying to tell her fandom that why wouldn’t she just come out?

yes ofc she would lose fans, there may be elevated safety risk, she’d lose a little money, but if her ENTIRE personality and life’s mission is to communicate her sexuality to the world to the point where every interview, every music video, every song lyric, every outfit, every pap walk, every moment of her life is scripted and riddled with big gay easter eggs wouldnt it just be easier to beef up security a little, say goodbye to the fans who don’t love her for who she is, say goodbye to a couple million and just come out??

like to me taylor is a messy, self absorbed, but very talented bisexual with a preference for men that has caught STRONG feelings for women a few times. it’s not worth it to her to come out because it’s just not that important to her for her fans to know every detail of her life. it makes sense that she doesn’t bother coming out because of the lover era backlash and she decided “meh yeah that’s not their business the greatest of luxuries is my secrets and i don’t have a serious woman partner rn to make it worth it and i’m not doing a social justice aesthetic anymore so lemme just sit back and exist”

so yeah we get a gay wink once in a while cause you know she is gay but i just can’t envision this world where taylor swift spends hours a week studying queer history, planning gay winks in everything she does, and makes her whole life gay easter eggs… but doesn’t just come out?

am i making sense? i feel like the fandom is getting loopier since tatty went public.

anyway so true anon to everything you said.

If you dont mind me asking. What did Chan do in his past relationship to get karmic backlash

Emojis: 😗😗

He didn’t do anything bad. He simply broke up with his partner to focus on his work (during thunderous era)

Does anyone else remember reading an Obi-Wan centric fanfic where one of the plot points near the end was him getting kidnapped by Darth Plageius or Darth Sidious and Falling? I'm pretty sure the Darth(s) made him fight Maul at some point and Obi-Wan ended up killing the Sith by using the Living Force which caused less *karmic backlash* to someone using the Dark Side of the Force than the Cosmic Force which was what the Sith have been using this entire fic. I cannot for the life of me remember the title and I've been going through my bookmarks for days trying to find it with no luck
