My doors and windows are usually open; anyone can call, stop by, you may even borrow something (just leave a note) or have a moment to rest. Take your time - however, I probably will not be here.
There will always be space and sustenance for all (yes all) at my table, but there may not always be a seat, and I will not always be in attendance... Unless you have been invited.
On the off chance of a rare sighting, rarer still, interaction; it may be nothing more than a passing smile, wink, and boop as I continue along a merry, glittering (focused) way.
Please, do not confuse kindness and grace for absolution or acceptance. Nor is my silence vendetta or personal. There is no residual anger it has all been let go. I operate from, of, and with love. This is my nature.
For some, there will not be a glimmer of recognition; no further access to treasures, depths, or getting lost in catacombs. The surface level is more than enough. I see and feel true colors for what they are, long before anyone chose to not only prove them but flaunt them, and then attempt to suffocate with them. Sealing and serving the feeling with a sentiment that appeared to insist it was all some type of ill-gotten and deserved favor. No. It was also not naivetĂŠ, or being "nice" - simply put my light consistently sees and recognizes the light in others.
I chose, and choose, to grow, to live, to love, and to be.

I will never get over the fact that Athenaâs first line in Weâll Be Fine is âI had a friend before, and he was a lot like youâ instead of âyou are a lot like himâ. Itâs almost like Athena is treating Odysseus as the âloving father of Telemachusâ instead of Telemachus as merely âthe son of Odysseusâ. I AM NOT OKAY
#everyone sees you as the little Odysseus that is meant to be legendary#but for meâI see how Odysseus resembled you when he was young. I see the light he once was before it went dark#and now I see it in you. Youâre the light Odysseus needs to see#I recognize that now. It wasnât so clear to me when I first held you in my arms#and it took me a while. But I recognize that now#youâre a good kid#telemachus#epic the musical#epic the wisdom saga#jorge rivera herrans#epic telemachus#tagamemnon#epic athena#odysseus#the odyssey#weâll be fine#epic: the musical#the wisdom saga#wait what 1k since when

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.
#personal#delete later#no patrick. âblack washingâ is not as harmful as white washing.#come on guys get it together#seeing people in my reblogs talk about âreverse racismâ and double standards is genuinely hypocrisy#say it with me: white washing is intrinsically tied to a historical and systematic erasure of poc figures literature and history.#it is an inherently destructive act that deplatforms underrepresented faces and voices#in favor of a light-skinned aesthetic hegemony#redesigning characters as poc is an act of dismantling symbols of whiteness in fiction in favor of diversification and reclamation#(note that i am talking about individual acts by individual artists as was the topic of this discourse. not on an industry-scale)#redesigning characters as poc is not tied to hundreds of years of systemic racism and abuse and power dynamics. that is a fact.#you are not replacing an underrepresented person with an oft-represented person. it is the opposite#if you feel threatened or upset or uncomfortable about this then sorry but you are not aware of how much more worse it is for poc#if representation is unequal then these acts cannot be equivalent. you can't point to an imbalanced scale and say they weigh the same#if you recognize that bipoc people are minorities then you should recognize that these two things are not the same#while i agree that âblack washingâ can lead to color-blind casting and writing the behavior here is on an individual level#a black artist drawing their favorite anime character as black because they feel a shared solidarity is not a threat to you#i mean. most anime characters are east asian and i as an east asian person certainly don't feel threatened or erased. neither should you.#there's much to be said about the politics of blackwashing (i don't even know if that's the right word for it)#but point standing. whitewashing is an inherently more destructive act. both through its history of maintaining power dynamics#and the simple fact that it's taking away from groups of people who have less to begin with#if you feel upset or uncomfortable about a fictional white character being redesigned as poc by an artist on twitter#i sincerely hope you're able to explore these feelings and find avenues to empathizing with poc who have had their figures#(both real and fictional) erased; buried; and replaced by white figures for hundreds of years#i sincerely hope you can understand the difference in motivations and connotations behind whitewashing and blackwashing#classic bixels âi'm not talking about this chat. i'm notâ (puts my media studies major to use in the tags and talks the fuck outta it)

Almost done reading Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Firestorm (my e-book says it's 80% through). Koba's backstory is so SAD. He was such a nice bonobo. We never saw a baby Koba, like we did with Ceasar. I needed to put the picture in my brain on paper...
#planet of the apes#dawn of the planet of the apes: firestorm#rise of the planet of the apes#dawn of the planet of the apes#Koba#POTA koba#THE POOR BABY#THE POOOR BBAABBBYYY#I wonder what happened to milo...#and I wonder if milo was a chimpanzee?#Koba recognized him as one of his kind so I think the big black caterpillars he keeps talking about are chimps#which would mean milo was a bonobo#i should wait until morning to take a picture of the drawing but whatever#it's past midnight i don't care anymore sdkjgsk#I painted him gray but he looks brown lol#tbh i was painting with watercolour mud. there was definitely brown in there and the lighting emphasized it orz#not a big deal

i was on a "thinking about ryuk" kick earlier and. i get the appeal of saying he's the only one who sees light in his entirety â it makes perfect sense, he's the one who light monologues to about his grand plans, he's the one who light stays with practically 24/7 for five years â but i don't think it's completely true?
ryuk to me has this tendency to assume that light is straightforwardly malicious (see: he thinks light was lying when light says he'll avenge his father if soichiro ever gets killed by kira, he doesn't really get why light wants to do things like reveal his location to L until light explains he wants to eliminate L entirely, he takes the "i wish i had wings" thing seriously as though it's supposed to be part of light's Master Plan instead of a little quirk that light was clearly feeling vulnerable about, he's surprised when light isn't willing to kill sayu in the second arc). like there's real fondness for light in there as well, he congratulates light for getting into college for instance, but i don't really feel like ryuk has ever. understood him fully. he's trying, he gets better at it over time, but he does have a bias.
and i think, also, that this is because ryuk has another tendency to assume that light is just like him.
which makes sense, because light is the one who offers up "i was bored, too" as a genuine point of commonality between them. and then ryuk jumps to "you know, you'd make a really good shinigami!" and "hey light do you want the eyes" and then at the end "we eased each other's boredom for quite a while." he does notice when light is acting weird and tries to adjust his viewpoint (he goes ! when light starts doing his "i've never been so humiliated in my whole life" thing) but given that he only figures out light genuinely cares for his sister when he refuses to sacrifice her, after five years of watching this whole family dynamic, i don't think he ever actually gets there.
which is. sad. it's really goddamn sad. you know you're really fucked when even the demon haunting you can't figure you out
#ryuk#light yagami#death note#light's obviously an unreliable narrator#but i think ryuk kind of is one too#anyway something something everyone around light sees only the facets they want to see#misa recognizes light is selfish and cruel and only ever uses her but she pretends he's her knight anyway#L recognizes there's something off about yotsuba light but pretends he's still kira anyway#(something to be said about how he does drop that assumption halfway through but still. to L he was/will be kira always and forever)#and ryuk recognizes light is horribly fucking lonely but he pretends he's just a maniacal dictator anyway because it's more entertaining#something something. idk. i'm saying words recreationally here.#anyway when unchallenged i think ryuk kind of sees light the way the stereotypical death note redditor does

a version of chronicles of narnia where those closest to the kings and queens get put into a sleep when the pevensies are brought back to their world, from which they're awoken only when their beloved four rules return, something Ă la sleeping beauty.
so the pevensie siblings return to narnia, and logically, it's been thousands of years. their closest friends, those they viewed as family, are, to their knowledge, dead, and they are completely alone now.
until peter and caspian encounter each other in the woods, and are about to get into their fight. it's the moment where peter's back is turned, and caspian has his word raised. lucy is screaming, tears in her eyes, susan and edmund are too far away to do anything, and there's a moment of chaos before caspian's strike is blocked by a larger, longer sword.
oreius, completely disgruntled and still very out of the loop, but only focusing on the fact that his king, his friend, his son, is in danger, glares daggers at caspian, not looking away for a second, even as tumnus gathers a now-relieved, sobbing lucy up in a tight hug, and edmund and susan shriek with joy upon seeing the beavers and mr. fox.
and any feeling of tension or fear immediately seeps out of peter, who drops the rock he had picked up, and stumbles to his feet and to oreius' side, being able to lean on the centaur for the first time in a year, and not have to worry about his safety or his siblings' safety. and oreius, without taking his eyes off of caspian and his followers, just puts an arm around peter.
and caspian remembers. he remembers the stories of the high kings and queens of narnia, and their beloved inner circle, and the absolutely terrifying centaur who called them sons and daughters of his heart, and he can't quite help but think about how utterly fucked he is.
#i have a vision in my mind#of a âdon't touch my daughter you bitchâ moment#and it's oreius giving caspian THE death glare as he stands protectively in front of peter#that's his son your honor#NOT a caspian bash#i just think its funny if caspian realizes that he's just fought with peter in front of his narnia dad#and is absolutely prepared to die for it because of the stories he's heard of oreius' protectiveness#also the group makes their way back to the how#and hear someone absolutely verbally tearing caspian's army to shreds#and edmund completely lights up because he'd recognize philip's voice anywhere#and he gets to reunite with his sarcastic shit of a best friend#this is going to be a fic btw#the chronicles of narnia#the lion the witch and the wardrobe#prince caspian#peter pevensie#oreius#lucy pevensie#susan pevensie#edmund pevensie#mr tumnus

â - but have you ever considered, I donât know, not sucking all the time? Just a thought.â
It takes the combined grips of Nuisance and Hound to keep the wriggling, snarling body beneath Fox from throwing him off its back. With three yearsâ practice of having to fix his own rickety desk chair over and over again, the movement merely ruffles the proverbial fringe on his helmet.
âAnd I donât mean that as an insult, necessarily. Well, I do a little bit. But also I have some amount of empathy for the no doubt immense amounts of trauma that had to go into the creation of something so dysfunctional as you, on a very personal level, so have you considered going to the root of that in a way thatâs like⌠useful? Instead of wasting it all on kriffing Kenobi, I mean. Look at the guy. All he does all day is drink tea and commit warcrimes. I bet he knits for fun. Bit of an embarrassing nemesis, donât you think?â
âIâ, says Kenobi, then pauses. The space between his eyebrows is creased with uncertainty, and he looks deeply torn between continuing rocking the shaking Duchess of Mandalore against his chest from his corner of the throne room and re-activating his lightsaber to continue losing his fight against the Darksider Fox is currently sitting on. âI feel like I should object to some part of that, but Iâm not entirely clear on what. Or how this happened, again. Isnât Mandalore a few star systems from your purview, Commander?â
âProbably the warcrimesâ, mutters Nuisance underneath his strained breath.
âAbout as far from my supposed assignment as yours, Generalâ, says Fox a little louder.
Kenobi twitches. Fox cannot claim to know which of them does it. Both, maybe. Probably.
âI will - taste - your - flesh!â, heaves out Darth Maul, snarling and hissing.
âOooh, kinky!â, calls Grids, from the corner where sheâs got her stun-setting aimed at the other Zabrak, currently passed out cold. Fox sighs deeply. He knew he shouldnât have taken those three - any combination of Grids, Hound and Nuisance in a room together usually spelled chaos.
Unfortunately, it also spelled competence. The Basic alphabet can be funny that way.
The point being: as of some months into the war, one of Foxâs assigned tasks is the surveillance of all GAR-wide communication. All command-class staff theoretically got that memo, but no one seems to have read the fine print where that includes both professional and personal communication, as well as any and all comm devices registered or suspected to be registered to that person. Especially not one Anakin Skywalker and PadmĂŠ Amidala.
The point further being, if that sounds both immensely impractical and sort of terrifying in a democratic supposedly non-surveillance state, youâd be bang on the credits, and to Foxâ eternal chagrin the singular person in this whole useless army whoâs spent the second of thinking necessary for that conclusion.
The final point being, when one frantic Generalâs mad dash across the Galaxy to rescue his teenage sweetheart from the spectre of his supposedly dead nemesis crosses his desk on its way to the Chancellorâs inbox, it doesnât take much time for him to block any and all trace of it across the digital space of the GAR commboard and take matters into his own hands.
â - which is why I told Thorn to suck it up and be in charge for a few days, and also why youâre still alive, your Highness, very welcome, was no trouble at allâ, he concludes, drily. The Duchess stares the wide-eyed look of someone attempting to reconcile clones with ���sentienceâ or perhaps âpersonalityâ in her head, but wonât say it outright.
Or the look of someone whoâs just been violently overthrown and nearly murdered, perhaps, Fox allows.
âUm -â, Kenobi hedges, blinking rapidly.
âAnd the reason youâre still alive, probably. Youâre welcome for that too, by the wayâ, Grids calls from the back of the throne room, cheekily.
âAlrightâ, says Kenobi, loudly. Thereâs color back in his deathly-pale cheeks, Fox notes, even if that color is a lot of red. It doesnât fade very gracefully into his beard. âOpinions on whether or not I had everything under control notwithstanding -â
âYou really didnâtâ, Hound supplies helpfully.
â - opinions notwithstanding, I am admittedly still lost on why youâre now sitting on Darth Maul and attempting to, to - jeer at him, Marshall Commander!â
âWeâre not jeering, weâre trying to create a safe space and lay the groundwork for more open communicationâ, Fox says, primly.
Maul screams into the ground, attempting for the umpteenth time to rear up and visit great violence upon Fox, which admittedly has him rattling in his crosslegged seat atop his back.
Kenobi raises a perfectly plucked eyebrow. âSafe space?â
âHeâs restrained and not stabbing anyone, I personally feel much safer than beforeâ, Grids muses. âWatch the teeth though, Hound. Little biter.â
Indeed. Foxâs right greave will have to be replaced posthaste.
âAnd anyways, the point isnât to jeer at him, itâs to make clear that heâs focusing his energy in the wrong places and could be doing much better things with his admittedly not-great lifeâ, Fox adds, shifting to cast a pointed look down at Maul. The Sith is panting open-mouthed into the durasteel floor, sharp teeth gnashing wildly as his piercing yellow eyes shine with barely restrained rage. âIâm just saying - aim higher. You arenât seeing the forest for the Kenobis, Maul. Can I call you Maul?â
âI will feed you your own entrailsâ, yowls Maul.
âSee, thatâs exactly what Iâm talking about. Right now, Iâm an easy target to focus all that built-up rage on, but is killing me really going to help you achieve any of your goals? No! Think about it - when it all comes down to it, who sent you on that mission to Naboo in the first place? Who made sure the Jedi and, by extension, Kenobi would be there to kill you? Who used you as a dejarik piece and then cast you aside the second you outlived your usefulness?â
Beneath him, Maul slowly stills in his struggle, still panting heavily. Hound and Nuisance donât let it deter them in their vigilance, because theyâre damn good vodâe and possess an ounce of common sense.
âAnd, look, I get it. I could spend the rest of my life punching every civilian who spits on me in the streets and it would even be satisfying. I could hit back the Senators who think of clones as easy targets. Or - I can aim my sights at whoâs on top. And I think you know who I mean, because you know as well as I do the same damn man has ruined both our lives.â
Kenobi makes an alarmed noise, and Maul an interested one - not that Fox is going to let him walk out of this place awake. Still, he tilts his head in a way he hopes conveys his helmeted grin successfully to non-vod, as well as the bloodlust behind it. âYouâre also welcome for the fact that the Chancellor wonât have heard of your spontaneous resurrection yet, by the way. Youâll retain your element of surprise instead of gambling it away on petty revenge on Kenobi.â
âHe cut me in half!â
âHe killed my master!â
Fox waves their protests away.
âAlso, thatâs treason!â, Kenobi adds, sputtering. Fox grins. Kenobi purses his lips, and continues. petulantly, ââŚdo you have any proof?â
âSo. Much. Proofâ, says Nuisance, dreamily. âLike, do you want it alphabetically or by date?â
Which is when the Duchess, of all people, bursts out into barking, crazed laughter.
âYou - youâve certainly given yourself an edge in that fight, Marshall Commanderâ, she wheezes, brushing tears from her eyes. Fox raises his eyebrows at her, which she somehow seems to be able to tell, because she gestures at the clunky handle dangling from his belt.
âWhat, this old thing?â He unclasps the black rectangle from its hook, holding it up in the air. Maul stills strangely beneath him, and Kenobi goes ghostly pale again. Fox is starting to get a bad feeling.
âI took it off Viszla and beat him over the head with it. I figured heâd taken it off a Jedi cadet or something. What? Why are you looking at me like that?â

You know, one thing I haven't seen any Ratiorine fans take advantage of is that Aventurine is very specifically inspired by the Turkish Romani population, while Ratio clearly has Greek/Roman influence--both countries with long and often complicated histories with Turkey.
Everyone craving those sci-fi AUs, but where are my historical AUs at?
Where are all the "We come from rival nations but still found each other!" Romeo and Juliet-level dramas???
Where are all my period pieces with the fall of the Byzantine Empire for background flavor???
Where are all my "I am but a traveling scholar," "You're more like a fish out of water, friend!" strangers-to-lovers riding off into the desert sunset stories???
Come on, help a girl out!
#honkai star rail#aventurine#dr. ratio#ratiorine#aventio#I'm just saying#I'd love to see a modern AU#that recognizes Aventurine's specifically Turkish influences#particularly in light of Ratio being prototypical Greek/Roman Classical scholar lol#some people read history books for school#I read them with a fandom lens on#đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł

Thinking about the CFAU and marveling at how much Danny and Jason care for one another. Does anybody else figure out that Danny is going to kill the Joker, or is that knowledge Jason exclusive? I can't see Danny being close enough to any other Batfam member to disclose his plans, but I wonder if he drops hints. They're a family of paranoid detectives. I'd be surprised if they don't figure out Danny has a PURPOSE for being in Gotham at some point. Whether Danny's able to disguise it as wanting to be closer to Jason or not is another burning question.
Its def Red Hood exclusive! You're right in that Danny isn't close enough to disclose his revenge plot to any of the batfam members -- hell, not even Sam and Tucker know his true motives for returning to Gotham, and they're his best friends right after Jason! And Red Hood knows only because Danny accidentally slipped up ;].
I do also think that the Waynes kinda think something might be up with Danny -- at least Dick and/or Bruce might since they're the only ones who actually know him beyond brief mentions of him. Tim knows about him due to his stalking, but doesn't really know him -- and Danny plans to keep a healthy, friendly distance from the family so he can carry out his plans.
It's not that he holds any dislike towards them -- quite the opposite. He appreciates what they do for Gotham and recognizes the hard work that goes into keeping their Rogues Gallery at bay (even if he is bitter about Joker, but there's an obvious reason for that) -- but, well. He knows they're the vigilantes, he doesn't want to risk them sniffing out his murder plot before he can even go through with it.
Luckily for him he can excuse any distance he puts between them as just being busy with life and trying to settle in, and they're not close enough to him anymore to find it suspicious. I do think they figure out he's back in Gotham for a reason, Danny's not going to exactly hide the fact that he's back to find some kind of closure -- but what that closure is?
I think the only person who might suspect something sinister going on would be Bruce, who saw the sinking rage in Danny's eyes at the funeral -- it was part of the reason he didn't tell him who killed Jason (beyond secret identity reasons). But that depends on whether or not Danny reveals some of his hand, and the fact that he was still holding onto that rage (somewhat unwillingly) all this time.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#cfau#childhood friends au#cfau danny#dpxdc crossover#danny's kept this deep-seeded hatred close to his chest for years. he's so close to his goal he's more careful than ever. he's under the#watchful eyes of his home city and the even more watchful eyes of her knights. he can't make any mistakes here -- not after the last one#with red hood. every step he takes going forward must be a cautious one so he doesn't draw the light of the batsignal.#also! funnily enough danny doesn't blame bruce for jason's death. sure they had a fight but he's not the one who sold him out to the joker#he's not the one who beat him to death. who blew him up. he's bitter over the fact that bruce withheld the identity of his murderer from hi#but even he can recognize the need to protect one's secret identity so he doesn't hold it against him that much. he's bitter over the lack#of action against the joker but that's a personal vendetta and again he recognizes how hard it is to be a hero. he would never ask bruce to#kill the Joker. he recognizes the fact that a hero cannot play judge jury or executioner and he respects Bruce's adherence to his moral cod#he knows it must be hard and he agrees that batman shouldn't kill. ever. bc if the batman kills the joker what's stopping him from killing#the common criminal? its a level of self-restraint and self-awareness that all heroes must have. and he genuinely respects bruce for it#if someone wants the joker dead that bad they can go and do the deed themself -- that's what HE'S doing. danny recognizes that his revenge#is wholly selfish in nature. it is closure for him and jason and him and jason only. its not good its not righteous its murder and danny#has come to terms with it.
