Im not aure if you're still active, it's fine if you're not, but I'm still upset makorra didn't happen. They had so many cinematic cues it's upsetting. Sincerely, someone who recently rewatched LOK.

Hi hi! I'm not super active on this blog anymore, but every once in a blue moon I'll reblog stuff lol.

I'm also still sad about makorra ;_; the setup was there and everything, it's honestly confusing and frustrating just from a cinematic standpoint.

I've been cooking an LOK rewrite in my brain for a long time, and maybe one day I'll post it, haha. There's so many things in the series that I wasn't satisfied with, so I think it could be a fun project (not that I'm a professional or anything haha).

Thanks for the message! (Your avatar is very cute btw!)

Nosferatu 2024 : part 1 (spoiler)

Thinking about Nosferatu again, I had a lingering questions that led me down a path of researchs. (This is purely my own speculation—an attempt to make sense of some of the film’s most intriguing elements. Of course, everyone has their own interpretation, and perhaps no one can fully grasp the truth of this multilayered masterpiece except the director himself) anyway, this is my take on it...

the other day i was reading the script, and I noticed that in the character introduction, Ellen was referred to as a somnambulist. which surprised me. Of all the ways to describe her, why this one? but hear me out....

a somnambulist is simply a sleepwalker, But metaphorically, it often represents someone trapped between waking and dreaming, reality and illusion, life and death. - you are not for the living -

but in the romanian folklore the sleepwalkers represent the moroi vii (living ghosts). living people who are believed to have an unnatural connection to the spirit world. they are also belived to be the people who display unnatural behaviors, such as being weak during the day but strangely energized at night, experiencing vivid dreams, or affecting people around them with their emotions or presence.

they were also described as soul that wanders—they might unconsciously leave their body during sleep, sometimes appearing as shadows or specters to others -This could explain why Thomas sees Ellen while he’s in the castle -

and some villages feared that moroii vii could harm others through envy, curses, or draining energy from those around them. Others believed that they were just unfortunate souls suffering from an affliction.

(But what i find even more intriguing is that Nosferatu doesn’t just portray ellen as a liminal figure. The entire film is steeped in liminality. Thomas, for instance, is constantly in an in-between state—his stay in the hotel, his journey to the castle, his time in Orlok’s domain.)

anyway...now going back to strigoi , they are a risen from the dead creatures who are driven by a deep, endless hunger, not just for blood but also for what they lost in death—love, warmth, human connection. but i also found that Some legends say that if a Strigoi drinks the blood of a loved one, they may be at peace for a while, but they will always need more. - does that reminds you of a scean maybe ? -

i will leave it at this...i mean....you get it ?

So in the end, this was the most fulfilling answer I could find to this question of why was she was called a somnambulist . Of course, there are still others—questions that linger, ones I might share here eventually, considering my Nosferatu obsession isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

truly yours,

laly.

(srry if u already answered any of these i am going to read all ur previous answers later 😤) 12, 19, 23

12.) okay be honest. pick a favorite oc from this ocverse.

The goat lady! Sorry Lali...... (Just kidding I love them equally because they're so fun together as niece and auntie....

19.) describe the sillies you think about but that dont go in the story.

Alonza painted Otto's nails when he was bored during lunch.... He secretly liked it so much he continues to do it.....

23.) describe how everyones character gets butchered once in the public eye?

OUGH this is really interesting because I have a hard time knowing how others think and trying to predict it

I think people's will put Lali into either "Aztec" or "Mayan" character lists and completely ignore the Mixtec words

The goat lady is gonna get the sans treatment I think (ok I think this one's gonna be mildly funny to see if it ever happens)

Alonza is gonna be turned into the "annoying" character

Otto is gonna be turned into an asshole (well much more than he is right now, but I think it'll remain even as his arc progresses)

There's not much to Giovanna or Myrhh the goat man yet but I'm also assuming they'll probably be forgetten about....

Thoughts/Details: Why did Rupert kill Tori in TL1

short answer: We don’t know.

The two most likely scenarios are: 1) She betrays him 2) He took pity on her and released her from her ‘curse’ - through death.

My thoughts: At first, option 1 seems to be the answer, because that’s how she dies in TL2 - after she betrays him. However there’s a bit of nuance to that. During the actual betrayal at the start of Vol 6, when she was mocking Rupert for choosing to believe in Lari who doesn’t love him, the fact that he’ll always be alone, and that for choosing Lari over her and Eva, he’ll have to die - at first, Rupert appeared to have given up and was ready to accept death from her hand. However, his mind changed when Lari jumped in to protect him, and was ready to kill Tori if that meant saving Lari. Here, Rupert said that if Tori wanted “it”that badly, then he’ll give “it” to her - meaning her freedom from being an alchemic doll (through death). Tori may have insisted she didn’t want freedom, because her only goal in life is to make sure the Empire is destroyed, but Rupert and Lari both know she doesn’t actually want to do that, and that she’s being distorted by the “command” forced on her by Eva. When they meet again where Tori is able to separate Rupert and Lari and is strangling her, Rupert is more than ready to shoot Tori, but Lari stops him and talk-no-jutsu her way to calming Tori down.

So in this case, despite being betrayed by her a few times in TL2, Rupert doesn’t think about killing her, until she tries to kill Lari. Then he’s out for murder.

But, also. We have to consider the situation of TL1. Rupert was all alone, with Tori as his only companion for his entire life. He was probably dependent on her and trusted her completely. If she betrayed him, would he have so easily killed her?

We know that Rupert in TL2 is loyal, almost to a fault, and deeply treasures those he cares for. Wouldn’t he be so devastated he shuts down?

Or maybe instead of being a mostly empty, lonely person, TL1 Rupert was more, and indeed as angry and bloodthirsty as the tyrant he was groomed to be. After all, TL2 Rupert did say that if he didn’t meet Lari, then a heartless murderer is what he was destined to be through Eva and Tori’s teachings. He did say that when Lari tried to kill herself, he was so angry that ‘he kept on flipping between letting her die or doing everything he could to prevent that, and always chose protecting her’. So MAYBE TL1 Rupert was indeed a tyrant who killed Tori in self-defense because his desire to live was just so strong.

Tori did say, that she WANTED Rupert to know the pain of loss and to get used to it. He shouldn’t know happiness. If he loses everything dear to him, he won’t have any lingering attachments to anything, and he will be the lonely, cold, tyrant Emperor who will not be stopped in his quest for the destruction of the Empire. He’s supposed to be cold and unfeeling and unable to love, and unable to be loved. If she died, then he would have lost everything, and her role was complete. He will resent this entire world, and continue to destroy until everything is gone. That is the mission she was given by Eva.

—

The alternative is the potential that TL1 Rupert saw how much Tori was suffering from the distortions of being an alchemic doll for so long. She said so in TL2 herself: she cant remember who she was originally, she can’t remember how she felt about Rupe/Lali, because her original personality is being overridden by the “command to destroy” given to her by Eva. It doesn’t matter if she loves Lari, her best friend, the “command” to hate Lari who is an obstacle to the mission is stronger. Even if she cares about the sweet Rupert who treated her like a sister, she only sees him as someone she is forced to protect until the moment he abandons the mission, then she’s forced to kill him as payback for his betrayal towards Eva.

So in that case, the answer would be to kill Tori, to release her from the curse, and to end her suffering. Basically a pity kill. :( Rupert knows Tori’s originally a nice innocent person, and also knows how much she resents him for being able to grow up and mature into an adult. Continuing to “live” as an alchemic doll forever, while forgetting her original self will only give Tori suffering, so maybe her death is what will finally give her peace.

—

Again, the novel gives all these hints and clues, but no actual answer as to why she died in TL1. It’s fun to think about, because then we get this conundrum

Lari “mistakenly accuses” TL1 Rupert is a tyrant because of her bias and ignorance, and is ashamed she thought TL2 Rupert would be like that. After about chapter 100, Lari thinks that she had it all wrong, that TL1 Rupert was not a tyrant, but rather justified in his murder spree because his personality is someone who is quick to action and punishment if it’s deserved. She believes that both TL1 and TL2 Rupert were both very lonely, sad people that just wanted human relationships. Even if TL1 Rupert wasn’t a tyrant, she still doesn’t forgive him because he caused her all that hurt. She may understand his situation, but she won’t forgive him for that. While our sweet Lari may think that TL1 Rupert is no longer a tyrant as she initially thought, the readers, Tori AND Rupert definitely know he was groomed to be a tyrant by Tori and Eva ^^; They were successful in TL1, precisely because he grew up to be cold, lonely, quick to kill, earning the hatred of everyone, no allies or support, and messing up the Empire from within. So in terms of trying to figure out why she died, again, it’s open ended and no clear cut answer. Let me know what you guys think after we get to this part in the novel/manhwa? :D

Javi Carabalí’s “Tripletazo #2” Ignites Latin Rhythms with Fresh Flair Looking for the perfect summer soundtrack? Javi Carabalí's new EP "Tripletazo #2 Con Tu Amor" might just be it. This three-track gem is a wild ride through reggae, Latin blues, and hip-hop that'll have you hitting replay all day long. The opener "Con Tu Amor" is straight-up fire - imagine if Bob Marley and Santana had a musical baby. Laoma Chavaco jumps in with vocals that'll give you goosebumps, while Javi's guitar work is pure magic. Trust me, you won't be able to sit still for this one. "Primavera" hits different though. Javi teams up with singer Lalie for what might be the sexiest Latin blues track I've heard this year. The way those rumba beats mix with Santana-style guitar riffs? Pure genius. It's the kind of song that makes you want to grab someone and dance close. Just when you think you've got Javi figured out, he throws "Gris" at you - a proto-reggaeton banger where he shows off his rap skills. It's got this old-school New York hip-hop vibe but with a Colombian twist that makes it totally unique. The beat is infectious, and you can tell Javi's having a blast mixing up these different styles. Real talk - what makes this EP special is how Javi throws all these genres in a blender and somehow makes it work. It's Latin music for sure, but not like anything you've heard before. Whether you're into reggae, blues, or hip-hop, there's something here that'll grab you. And if you're looking to spice up your playlist with something fresh? "Tripletazo #2" is your answer.

Man rough day. I should have called or texted when I thought about you on Saturday. If I had known you would be gone on Wednesday, I would have done it in a heartbeat. There are so many things I need to tell you.

You were supposed to be 17 today Alyson. We were supposed to sit on the phone while you told me all of the exciting things that your family had planned for you. Your Abuelita was supposed to give you her necklace this year. I remember how excited you were telling me all about it during our girlhood. I remember making wishes on dandelions at big river while we ran up and down the shore with long brown hair flying in the wind behind us. Little secrets whispered under the twinkle of Christmas lights and the glimmer of your beautiful brown eyes as we made pinky promises. We never really grew out of any of that, did we? You were supposed to be 17 today god I can’t bring myself to call your mom. I haven’t been able to call her since she found you. I haven’t been able to see your photos or think of her face and how she must have crumbled to be the one to find her perfect baby girl in the way that she did. I wonder if your little sisters are okay. I wonder how your dad is. Your sister texted me when the three of you found the pink nail polish we always made him wear during our tea parties. Somehow it wasn’t dried and you painted his nails. I wish I had saved those snaps. So I could hear your voice and see your smile and feel your warmth. She called me while they painted his nails the night that you passed. The four of us silently on the phone, your absence not really sinking in yet. I remember him saying how badly he wanted a son our entire childhood. How defeated he was when your youngest sister was born. I remember growing up and how he became so appreciative of what he was blessed with. His attitude change when he realized he had three beautiful and healthy girls. He really did spoil us didn’t he Aly? I don’t think he ever has or ever will love anyone as much as he loved you. Breaking down when your mom called me. I missed her two first calls. Fuck how hard must it have been for her to call me three times. To dial my number to be met with an answering machine twice and still having the strength to call again with the amount of hurt in her heart. Leaving chemistry to pick up her call and being met with her strangely quiet voice. In 13 years I had never heard her so… Broken? She was so broken. I think the way she choked it out made it too real. My world was spinning after a 6 minute and 35 second phone call and then I just- went back to class. I couldn’t cry. I couldn’t breathe. I felt everything and nothing. It all stung. I miss you sweetpea. I hope you are having the best day up there my Laly girl. Forever and always, your sugarplum💚

HOW TO BE HAPPIER

We would all like to know how to be happier and the answer may be a lot more simple than we thought. Flor, Marsha, Iris, Pilin and Lali – happy to be together. I typed ‘how to be happier’ into Google and in 0.43 seconds received 228 million listings. Give each one two minutes and it will take almost a year (reading 24/7) to read them all. There are a lot of people writing about how to be happier…

[wildstar25]

Well. How about 9, 12, and 15?

lali-lets answer some questions-ho o/

9. How do they deal with their fame? Has it changed their relationship with their loved ones? Have they ever been tempted to use their fame for selfish reasons?

Arsay doesn't necessarily "deal" with her fame, if anything she is quite passive about it. If, lets say, a child came up to her with awe and admiration, she'd happily play up her role to bring a smile to their face. When people seek her out for her skills, she's there to help. She does enjoy being a famed warrior of light, though she'd be incredibly reticent to admit that to anyone.

Arsay spent a lot of her life feeling forgotten and she developed quite the complex about it tbh. She can't help but have some kind of satisfaction when some person she helped months ago comes back and treats her like an old friend. That alone is enough for her. She doesn't try to get special treatment and she's much too stubborn to accept handouts.

Getting closer to the scions and building those relationships up from friends to family also lessened her need for external validation from random citizens. She gains a lot more emotionally from knowing the people she deeply, truly cares about also hold her in their hearts and minds. That doesn't stop her from wanting to involve herself in world saving situations of course she does legitimately want to help whoever she can.

12. What do they think about redemption and forgiveness? Would they forgive an enemy? Would they forgive themselves?

For Arsay, actions speak louder than words! She runs on a thorough vibe check analysis lol. Were you bad yesterday? that sucks. Are you gonna do better today? Awesome! Yeah she gets mad and can hold ire towards particular actions that people have done - and some things cross the line completely - but for the most part if someone is making the effort to do good and/or be better now that's what counts to her.

Doing one good thing isn't enough though. That's why if she has met someone at their worst it takes a couple good interactions for her to place any trust in them. Gotta asses those vibes thoroughly 'n all. She wouldn't say it's forgiveness... more of giving someone another chance. Nero's an example of that for sure. Took her all to alphascape before she finally started to relax around him.

When it comes to herself and her own actions: I guess the same logic would apply! She keeps herself in check. If she fails, she'll get up and do better. For every disparaging thought that pops into her head, she'll put out twice the amount of positivity and hope that's enough. though again, this is not really forgiving herself & probably not healthy overall for her mental well being but! she will stay silly :3

15. How do they feel about the Ascians?

Oh boy so I am only at 5.4 so this answer is definitely in flux atm…

Throughout ARR to stormblood she really did think of them as no more than a thorn in her side. She absolutely hated how they manipulated otherwise well intentioned adventures to enact terrible schemes. She was legitimately frustrated that she couldn’t land the final blow on lahabrea in particular lol. As she headed into shadowbringers she really wanted nothing more than to put an end to them permanently.

After shb… well okay she still wants to stop them but it’s complicated. On one hand, she thinks the hole lot of them should just get on with the program! The world is different now, get used to it!! It’s so frustrating to her that they aren’t letting anyone have nice things >:(

On the other hand, she feels a lot of sympathy toward their ultimate goal. They just want their home and their loved ones back and safe. She knows how hard it can be to let go of the things you care about and what it’s like to be in denial about the reality I front of you. It was wandering through the streets of Amaurot that really got to her in particular. She felt such an immense loneliness from it all. It really got to her I think.

But on the other hand, the ascians have been responsible for so much pain and hardship. They continue to put her loved ones in peril and harm countless others. That’s shrimply not okay!! Even if they miss their home she will not give up hers! If the ascians cant be convinced with words, the edge of her blade will have to do.

Arsay will remember them for who they were and what they became.

dear diary...

This morning, I had one of those moments that felt like nothing and everything all at once. I had a really rude exchange, and it lingered with me. I kept replaying it in my mind, wondering why I hadn’t reacted faster. Why didn’t I stand up to rudeness? Why didn’t I tell them that I wouldn’t tolerate their demanding behavior?

The answer, I think, is that I wasn’t prepared for it. I wasn’t ready to face the coldness of a stranger’s impoliteness when I was lost in my own thoughts. But here's what I have to remind myself: It’s okay. It’s okay because it happened, and I can’t change it. The important part is that I stayed true to myself. I remained polite. I didn’t let my reaction mirror their unkindness, even if I didn’t stand up for myself in the way I wish I had.

Yours truly, Laly
