NEW BLOG: The Only Power a Shitty Life Has Over You Is The Power You Choose To Imbue It With Do you know how Lion Tamers were able to control beasts so infinitely more powerful than they were, with a mere whip and a chair? The pain of a whip crack is obvious enough, but a puny chair — how was that a deterrent, and what does any of this have to do with your mindset, whilst you valiantly battle to navigate tough circumstances in your life right now? Well, if Lion Tamers could control muscular 30 stone killing machines with a flimsy chair, then I’m here to tell you how they did it, and how you can control your mind. https://www.karanscott.com/post/the-only-power-a-shitty-life-has-over-you-is-the-power-you-choose-to-imbue-it-with (link in bio) #newblogpost #newblogalert #newblog #newblogarticle #mindsetblog #tamingyourbrain #liontamer #braintrainer #braintamer #karanscottnlpperformancecoach #karanscottcognitivebehaviouraltherapist #karanscottcoaching #karanscott #nlppractitioner #nlp #nlpcoach #cbttherapy #cbttherapist #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #coach #coachingtools #bebetter #linkinbio https://www.instagram.com/p/Cny3DmRjEQ5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A shell, unveiled

She knows him, by now; she knows his moods, his imposter syndrome, the way he often blames himself for things he has no power on, the way he always feels much more responsible than he should. She knows if he came to her, then something happened, and she just wants to help.

Lexember #6-8: Tsaltep, Kyeng, Ngûp

Above: Left: Tsaltep (caltep), Right: kyeng-ngûp.

Let’s get into political history. The cal-tep [tsaltɛp˺] refers to the ruler of Milim before Tepat conquered it.

Althought the end sounds like Tepat, they aren’t related, that we know of. It is typically spelled with the phonetic tep which means ‘enemy.’ Obviously, Tepat doesn’t call itself ‘enemy.’ (Sometimes hostile neighbors make the connection and spell it that way as a joke.)

The first part cal may be spelled with the phonetic chyal ‘to fly.’

We don’t know the origin, which must be from the poorly known Milim language. One hypothesis is that it means “liontamer” and refers to an annual ceremony where the king executed a captured lion to show how badass he is.

More about ancient “lions” in Tepat: https://www.tumblr.com/yuk-tepat/669739776543424512/lexember-4-5-yap-and-yaput?source=share

Of course, since the word Tepat itself is probably of Milim origin, they might be related.

Milim rulers are usually referred to in Tepatic chronicles as Tsaltep only, and distinguished by number. The last 10 rulers, who oversaw the largest human sacrificial system in history, are known as the “Ten Forgotten Names,” as a form of punishment, with the hope their spirits will be extinguished with their names. Historical records of the Milim were vandalized, often only being rediscovered and reconstructed recently.

Read more posts about the Milim: https://www.tumblr.com/yuk-tepat/search/milim

Then there’s the kyeng-ngûp [kjɛŋgɯp˺] ‘followers and allies,’ the nobility of feudal Tepat. They derive from the Tepatic conquest of the Milim potamocracy. Milim gained contol over many towns and tribes which were known as ngûp or ngyûp. Milim demanded captives of their vassals, which they sacrificed in the Tsaltep’s necromagical project to extend his life in Bathoryesque fahion. It kept the vassals in line but engendered bitterness.

When Womuq was sent out from Notoq, he established a settlement on the plain (Tepat), which was in the sphere of influence of the Milim. After escaping a tornado, and rescuing the daughter of a ngûp chief, who was to be sacrificed to the Wind God, he learned of the Tsaltep’s crimes against humanity. Taking his chance to overthrow them, he assembled a force of his most loyal retainers (the kyeng) to march on Milim. Along the way, he was assisted by resentful local ngûp.

When Womuq prevailed over the Tsaltep, he restored to ngûp chiefs their traditional bases, and he distributed the rest of the Milim territories to his warrior-followers as estates. These early followers with their land formed the core of the Nyow-era aristocracy, and their descendants claimed land and rights in perpetuity on account of this. Hence the entire aristocratic system is known as kyeng-ngûp.

Izzy Hands Fic Recs (September 1-30th)

My favorite of the Izzy fics that I read between September 1-30th 2023. See other recs here.

Prove You Wrong by lucelafonde (Ed/Izzy)

Ed and Izzy are soulmates. Unfortunately, they're also Ed and Izzy, so things don't go entirely according to the grand soulmate plan. Unless—

just a touch of your love by oopshidaisy (Ed/Izzy)

After Stede's return, Ed becomes more affectionate. The problem is, it's not just with Stede.

we all get some kind of haunted by LiraelClayr007 (Ed/Izzy)

In which a raid goes horribly wrong.

When the Pupil is Ready the Master will Appear by ZehWulf (Stede & Izzy)

Izzy—miserable martyr for the cause of Edward's happiness—decides to train Stede as his replacement as Blackbeard's right hand. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Liontamer, Lionheart by lustig (Stede & Izzy)

On the run and with no other way for them to escape, Izzy sacrifices himself to save the crew, revealing his identity as a wolf shifter. When Stede and Ed find him, months later, Izzy might bodily resemble a human, but his mind is stuck on his inner wolf: scared, mistreated and dangerous...

Endless Night by bongbingbong (Buttons/Izzy)

In the wake of this new normal Stede's return has established, Izzy finds himself left behind. He only has himself to blame, but he's trying his best. They all are. Even Stede, who's trying to be a better Captain. Who's trying to maintain discipline. Order. Izzy's pleased about it, until he realises that his methods don't seem very Stede-like at all. In fact, they remind him very strongly of someone else. A past Captain. One who should, by all accounts, be dead...

What next - another poll because I can

I love these polls, so here's another one for you. I have a few projects that I'd like to finish, and I'd like your help to decide where to start.

This will be after the last part of Nuvole Bianche and the next part of The Winter Rose will be done.

So...

Blind love is a multi-chapter story very heavy on headcanons about Sorceress-Knight bonding, based on the prompt "You heard me. Take. It. Off."

Liontamer is a multi-chapter story made of in-game missing moments, exploring the growth of relationships between the group, particularly focused on Squall and Rinoa.

Stay is a multi-chapter post-game story based on the premise five times Squall asked Rinoa to stay, and the one time he didn't.

something about how dave insists that henry was right for getting the liontamer (falsely) imprisoned for child murder (that he didn't commit) because he was a drunk and how he's saying it to jack, a former drunk, who still feels terrible because his drunkenness indirectly caused dee's death is so fucked

Adrenalyne Kyck - Big Giant Circles, Liontamer, zircon

My copy of Rebirth is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so clearly it's time for an FFVII remix. This is from the 2007 ocremix album Voices of the Lifestream. The spoken word lyrics are a quote from FFVII director Yoshinori Kitase:

"In the real world things are very different. You just need to look around you. Nobody wants to die that way. People die of disease and accident. Death comes suddenly and there is no notion of good or bad. It leaves, not a dramatic feeling but great emptiness. When you lose someone you loved very much you feel this big empty space and think, 'If I had known this was coming I would have done things differently." - Yoshinori Kitase, Edge Magazine, May 2003

In some ways, this mix is extremely dated- the remixing scene has gotten incredibly slick and professional in the intervening (oh my god what the fuck) 17 years, and the instrumentation hasn't aged especially well. But it's still a badass arrangement, and that quote from Yoshinori Kitase always hits so hard.

Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania XXXV

Becky Lynch def. Ronda Rousey (c) and Charlotte Flair (c) for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship and WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship in 21:30 (Rousey entered as Raw Women's Champion, Flair entered as Smackdown Women's Champion)

The first women’s main event! Flair is in a helicopter approaching the stadium, she lands outside and gets the red carpet rolled out for her as she exits. She takes off her jacket and gets her robe put on ready for her match. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts are here to play Bad Reputation as Ronda enters! Charlotte heads down to the ring as fireworks go off in the distance. Then here’s Becky! She’s got a whole new look here which I always thought looked super cool! The crowd chant to her theme and the sea of Becky signs are ready!

They stand off to begin Becky goes for the arm of Ronda as Flair stands off. The other two fight in the corner and Becky gets sent out the ring. Ronda targets Flair and sends her outside too! Ronda hits a judo slam into the barricade on Becky, and another to Flair on the floor, She further targets Becky but gets caught with a suplex into the barricade from Flair. She heads into the ring and taunts. Becky heads back in and there’s history here. They fight back and forth until Flair takes out the knee. Flair tries the Dis-Arm-Her, but Becky rolls her up. Flair kicks out, further brawling, and Becky attempts the Figure-4, but Flair kicks her away. Ronda comes in with a step-up knee strike to Becky and throws Lynch around. As Ronda targets Becky’s arm, Flair comes in with big boots and with Becky, attempts to powerbomb Ronda out the ring. As they reach the ropes, Ronda pulls them both over with a rope-assisted armbar! Becky gets out and hits a baseball slide on the hanging Rond who falls to the outside! Amazing! Becky goes for Flair in the corner, but she’s ready and takes her down. Flair exposes her knee and drops it on Becky. Flair heads up and goes for a moonsault, but Becky catches her with the Dis-Arm-Her! Ronda comes in though and rolls Becky through with an armbar, though Becky’s struggling means they are rolling as Ronda tries to properly cinch it in! She has the arm but Flair hits a big knee strike! She hits a weak Natural Selection on both of them but they both kick out. Flair throws Becky to the outside but Ronda throws strikes at Flair. Flair retaliates with some chops. Ronda is resilient, so Flair chops her in the face, so Ronda returns with a big elbow strike! Ronda goes for an armbar but Flair powers out of the attempt to lock in a Liontamer. Becky runs in and hits a bulldog and then hits a reverse DDT on Ronda and a regular DDT on Flair at the same time! She lays in some nice strikes to Flair but Charlotte fights back. She cartwheels over the rope when sent into the corner and hits a big boot from the apron to Becky. She goes up top but Becky stops her and hits a Bexploder from there!

Ronda goes up top, and resists Becky’s attack, then hits a double crossbody! Arm drags to both and she locks in a double armbar! But Flair and Lynch lift her up and powerbomb her thrice to break the hold! Flair throws Becky out and covers Ronda but she kicks out. She goes for a spear on Lynch on the apron, but she dodges and gains control, hitting the Lass Ride for a 2-count. Becky sends her outside and faces off with Ronda. Becky rolls through with a suplex to lock in the Dis-Arm-Her but Ronda gets the rope! She pulls Becky up and plants her in the corner but Becky dodges and locks in the Dis-Arm-Her with the ropes! Flair hits a big boot on Becky and then a Spanish fly on Becky for a 2-count! Flair suplexes Ronda but Lynch tries a Dis-Arm-Her on Flair. She counters by sending her into a turnbuckle pad and boots her to the floor. She targets Ronda and locks in the Figure-4 around the ring post until Becky breaks it up. Flair launches her into the barricade, attempts the Figure-4 in the ring but Ronda rolls her up! She kicks out and locks it in this time, then bridging for the Figure-8, but then Becky comes in with a leg drop to break it up! Becky brings out a table and sets it up in the ring but Flair attacks. She puts her on it and goes up for the moonsault, but Becky stops her. Ronda comes in and attacks Becky, sending Charlotte to the floor, and tips the table to the fans’ chagrin. She gets Becky up for Piper’s Pit but she slides out and attempts to lock in the Dis-Arm-Her, but Charlotte comes in with a double spear, though both kick out! She sets up the table in the corner and is able to hit a spear on Becky for a 2-count. She lines up for a double spear through the table but they hip toss her into it and it only just breaks! Ronda and Becky square off, throwing wild strikes until Ronda lands a step-up knee! She gets her up for Piper’s Pit but Becky reverses into a pin for 3! Ronda had her shoulders up for half of the pin which sucks but Becky wins! The crowd loves it! 

Pros: Great action, cool spots, right winner, exciting Cons: A bit messy, botched finish

This match was a lot better than I remembered! I felt a little underwhelmed at the time and the finish was a big dampener, but rewatching it I enjoyed it a lot more! Great stuff with some super cool triple threat spots, but a few messy or awkward moments. This is probably down to Rousey’s inexperience but she also brings a lot to the table. The finish was also upsetting but these things happen I guess. Ronda just needed to keep the shoulder down. Other than that though, a very fun match with the result we all wanted!
