The WHEN and HOW aren't important...
When I was manifesting one of my favourite and most important manifestation of my life, it took me some time, I admit. I was manifesting everything else except for this (I was stupid, I already had it duhh).
To revisit my old story at first I was really going back and forth and giving importance to the 3d. I always got major movement but I tried to force the 3d at times cause I wanted my manifestation. It soon changed when I learned more about manifestation.
I just gave in and repeated my affirmations till my 3d conformed. But I will admit to this because I am damn sure it will help a lot of you. I liked using tally counter and I can proudly say that I even reached the limit of it and more. Meaning just with the tally counter I had affirmed more than 100k times. And I know for a fact that this might not even be half of what I did affirm. Now I'm not giving a number to you guys for you to affirm for these many times. Nope but there are two lessons for you guys over here.
First : The number of affirmations doesn't matter. It could be 10, 100 it could be 1099 it could be more than that, it just doesn't matter.
Second : At any point of time where I was affirming for these many times and I was like why isn't it here yet and what am I doing wrong - I wouldn't have had my manifestation rn.
I hope you guys understand what I'm saying. The only reason why I got what I wanted is something I've often told you guys about as well - Do you want it bad enough? Then you'd persist no matter what. That's exactly what I did. I wanted it bad enough. I quit going back and forth on my assumptions and just persisted. I mean come on I affirmed for more than 100k. You really can't tell me that you've been affirming for a whole week and then ask why isn't it here yet.
Repetition and persistence is truly all that you need. It never fails trust me.
I consider myself really good at manifestation and well that is true in my reality. But I have no problem in admitting that I too struggled at times. But I never gave up. The HOW, the WHEN doesn't matter. It will conform.
This was the only manifestation where I really struggled with because my emotions were all over the place and I reacted to my 3d more often than not. I always got half of manifestation (only because my self concept was on point since even before I knew about manifestation, I'm a very self obsessed person 😁). I read and followed a lot to get to the point where I am rn. All I did here was affirm and persist. I love scripting and visualisations as well, but since my emotions were all over the place, I found solace in robotic affirmations. This is one of the main reasons why I promote affirming so much. It's one of the best ways to manifest especially since all you have to do is just repeat it till it manifests. It doesn't even matter if you don't believe in what you're saying. All you have to do is be fulfilled in imagination. That's it. Know that imagination is the only reality.
Persist girl, you've got this. I'm attaching an old pic of my tally counter as proof that I reached the end of it 😁

Not to be the first soldier on the frontless of the woobification of Qimir (he is a villain, we know this, and I love him for it), but the lack of nuance, or rather the one-dimensional angle people who don't like his relationship with Osha have taken with him, irks me so bad. I get it. He is Sith, right. Treachery is their way; and what are the darksiders, if not self-serving?
But I feel like the specific phrasing of "the Jedi like you would call me Sith" implies so much about his own unique characterization, and I don't understand why we are glossing over it. It's not a self-identifier. It shows it isn't as much as a title he'd give himself, but a badge he'll wear since in the black/white viewpoint of the Jedi, he is not allowed to be anything more or less. His almost catty, "semantics" hammers in this fact for me, personally.
He strikes me as one who takes what he wants of the Sith code, and disregards the rest. I don't think it's a mistake that even after his reveal, we don't see him with the signature dark side eyes.
I say all this to say; Qimir's ultimate goal is not power, it is FREEDOM. *That* is what he is driven by. He craves to live outside the confines he deems as constrictive/oppressive, and have by his side, someone who wants the same.
So even while disregarding Leslye's interview; I honestly don't know how with what we've been shown in the show so far, aside from him being a sith, makes people think otherwise.
#the acolyte#qimir#star wars#oshamir#osha x qimir#meta#i guess#sorta#this is not me saying qimir good jedi bad brrr either#not at all#but to compare his actions to osha to the likes of sidious towards anakin feels so misplaced#he is such a textbook radical and i fear we shouldn't ignore that#also can we just talk about how mad he was about mae's betrayal? how he was glancing over jedi in his pursuit of getting her?#isn't it the sith way for the apprentice to kill their master? isn't that the rule of two?#and yet he was so burned by the mere notion of her betrayal#he is not your Typical Sith Lord and that is okay Actually#never mind the fact when presented with several opportunities to deal the killing blow he didn't lol#his love in fact does go Deep my honor#and now he has osha someone who will actually reciprocate?#oh they drive me crazy

Armand: and I was trapped inside my little box in the theatre, which by the way had the best view to the stage but that’s not something we’re gonna concern ourselves with, and the big and scary vampire Sam was there, my jailor, guarding me with his prop scythe. This being of immense power I could in no way oppose. I could not prevent it, I was forced to watch and I absolutely couldn’t prevent it, in fact mind controlling the audience took such a tool out of me that I was exhausted, point in fact I literally didn’t control my entire coven of thirteen vampires in a blink like last month with minimal effort. I absolutely couldn’t prevent it Mr. Molloy
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Daniel Molloy:
#Armand you better thank god for your mind gift because you are a shit liar#I know you wanna be a master manipulator baby but maybe you should consider changing career paths#iwtv#interview with the vampire#Armand#original p.

𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 ★
𝐈. what is commanding your subconscious mind?
commanding your subconscious is just talking to it directly and trusting that it will have your desire manifested for you. your subconscious knows everything that you want. every. single. thing. whenever you desire something or just “think” of having it, your subconscious immediately starts working on it to bring it to you. now, you might wonder, “if my subconscious really did that, then wouldn't it already have manifested me my wildest dreams?” well, honey, that's not the case. have you ever thought of trusting or having faith in your subconscious or just giving it a talk about manifesting it for you? no, right? that's the reason your desires are taking longer to manifest. because you apply methods to manifest, and then let your intrusive thoughts take over. your subconscious understands that you don't trust it and it doesn't work as it should for you then.
𝐈𝐈. how to command your subconscious mind?
as i said, commanding your subconscious is just talking to it directly. whether it be aloud or in your mind. you can do it anytime. for example, “hey subconscious, i wanna enter the void tonight. i know you'll wake me up there.” or “hey subconscious, i want good grades in my maths exam. i know you'll manifest it for me, yeah?” you can talk to it anyhow you want. you want to talk to it like it's your best-friend? ok, that works. like your baddie? that works too. or just normally? yup, that works! anyhow you want. it's your choice because your subconscious is taking in every single moment of your life. whether it be talking, walking, sleeping, breathing, laughing, crying, taking a bath, cutting your nails, putting on make-up, wearing your socks, your hair-strand sticking out, etc, etc, etc, countless moments. and when you are commanding your subconscious, you are giving it a job to do and it's already working on it. all you need to do is have faith and trust in your subconscious. after commanding and doing everything, don't be like, “will this even work?” “is my subconscious trustable?” “will it do it in my time-crunch?”, etc. don't be like that. when you are so insecure, you are showing your subconscious that you don't trust it. so, why would it even work for you, right?
𝐈𝐈𝐈. for what can you use this?
you can command your subconscious for everything. yes, for literally EVERYTHING. you wanna shift? go for it. enter the void? yup, works. manifest? lucid dream? astral project? works for anything. even for small, regular events too. for example, you don't want to go to school or have a holiday declared from the school or anything, command your subconscious, it will manifest it for you.
𝐈𝐕. outro
so, talk with your subconscious whenever you want. just take out some time and tell your subconscious about your problems or your desires and how you want them to be. address it frequently while talking to it. that will give more of an impact. and most importantly trust and have faith in it. it is working only for you.

Something tells me that the first Spinjitzu master might not be a good dad 😭
And I actually like that concept, it makes me think in a way where garmadon had daddy issues and now that's transfered to his son, Lloyd 🤔
#“you boys are both a disappointment to me” WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO YOUR KIDS 😭#and the “the words of the first Spinjitzu master had echoed in Wu's mind all night” sounds really depressing poor wu 😭#i guess this is a really corrupted family#do they even have a mom#they're momless#i like how garmadon in the last picture was actually considerate of the girls trauma/feelings and got mad at wu cause wu was pressuring her#<< W garmadon...#ninjago#ninjago fandom#the spinjitzu brothers#ninjago spinjitzu brothers#first spinjitzu master#spinjitzu brothers#lord garmadon#garmadon#master wu#ninjago wu#ninjago master wu#ninjago garmadon#ninjago lord garmadon#young garmadon#young master wu#lloyd garmadon

wait lol au where post-war, the jedi order does a date auction a la every cliche ever where they auction off a date night with one of their jedi generals. it's supposed to raise credits for various post-war charities as well as stoke good feelings about the order (the smear campaign was pretty effective, even if sidious died before the genocide bit)
obviously both the hero with no fear and the negotiator are put on the metaphorical chopping block. anakin is a Good Husband™️ so he clears this with Padmé first, and she laughs and agrees and wishes him luck in surviving the hoards of fans that desire him carnally. she says as a senator, she will be expected to attend and maybe even bid. they both agree that it would be way too obvious for their super secret marriage if she bids on anakin, and anakin asks her to bid on obi-wan in a spur of the moment thing.
it's just. obi-wan was really hurt aboard the invisible hand and then he was hurt again when fighting with grievous. and is anyone vetting these random people who will get to go on a date with the jedi? anyone could win!! a disgruntled separatist could win obi-wan's attention for a night and then take him on a date and then kill him!!!! under anakin's very nose!!!
anakin actually gets like. super concerned about this possibility. like super concerned. he gets padmé to promise that she will bid however much it takes to win obi-wan's hand (she is after all generationally wealthy) and she agrees because she loves him and then also follows through because she's a woman of her word.
anakin gets bid on by several people, one woman wins, it's whatever, anakin doesn't care. what anakin cares about is making sure he and this person can go to the same restaurant as obi-wan and padmé. just like. to make sure obi-wan is alright. he was looking quite flushed during the bidding? anakin is Concerned.
and anakin's poor date, who paid millions of credits for his attention, has to deal with an anakin who is obsessed with what's happening a table over and why are they laughing and are their knees touching beneath the table and maybe anakin should go over and like? break it up? his master is obviously a bit uncomfortable in all this candlelight. he looks beautiful, obviously, but he's clearly uncomfortable and he would feel better if anakin were there. obviously.
and anakin's poor date ALSO has to deal with meeting obi-wan kenobi after/during dinner because anakin can't keep in his lane, and general kenobi is downright hostile and cold to her because he's feeling incredibly overprotective at the thought of anakin having to spend time with some woman who bought him. as if he were a slave again.
#kit's silly lil aus#obikin#i feel like date auctions were huge aus in like 2015#but also i just finished season 1 ted lasso#so this was kicking around in my head#also anakin is out of his mind with jealousy that his wife gets to spend a romantic evening with his master#thats his master#why didnt anakin bid on his master??? he shouldn't have crowd-sourced this obviously#(anakin's poor date has not been looked at once)#anakin's poor date: so anakin --#anakin mind in a diffrent place: i'll stop you right there im married to my master#anakin's poor date: you're married to your master???#anakin: no wait. im married#not to my master.#im just married.#but also my master is here. and important to the story#anakin to himself: wait should i be married to my master??

I changed my mind about being Delusional
Now before you come for me lemme make this clear.
There are some of you who are quite set up in their minds that believing that their imagination as the true reality is quite hard. Now for you guys I'd say be delusional in the fact that, yes, you already have it and that's the truth.
But at this point of time in my life, my views are changing slightly. I mean what is delusional about this? How can saying that I already have what I want is delusional when I literally already have it? Right?
Now this right here is all you need to manifest what you want okay. This right here . Now Imma add more stuff to it so you're gonna finally get rid of all those doubts you have.
Accepting that you have what you want is not being delusional. Ordering something you want and knowing that it is coming to you, now is that being delusional? I mean you literally just ordered it. That's how this kindof works. The minute you accepted it as true in your reality, it was yours. No going back on that anymore. It's when you go back and forth with what you want and what you think you don't have, being inconsistent, not being disciplined and all such stuff, that you're "struggling".
Stop allowing these stuff in your reality. I mean c'mon why would you want to suffer in your reality when you can LITERALLY live the life of your dreams.
Also another thing, there is no such thing as giving up on your manifestation, so lemme make that VERY CLEAR.
You are always manifesting - irrespective of whether you want to or not. Your life is shaped by your assumptions and you knowing about this or not knowing about this doesn't take away anything from that fact. THIS IS A FACT OF LIFE. Not someone's opinion or some weird jumbo mumbo weird witchy stuff or anything. It is a FACT. So even if you decide that you're done with all of this and decide to stop manifesting because - " Manifesting is hard for you" or " You've been trying so long and it won't manifest" or "Others can manifest but you can't" or other buts.... That's exactly what you're manifesting right????!!!
I mean look at this -
" It's not happening" - yep it isn't happening. " I can't manifest this" - yep you didn't manifest it. "I can't lose weight" - True, you're not losing weight. "He doesn't like me" - On point, like damnnn you're right he's just not into you.
You REAP WHAT YOU SOW. That's all there is to it. You assumed -You get it.
In one way you really are a master manifestor, cause damnn dudee you just manifested exactly what you assumed as true. It's so amazing how you got exactly what you assumed as true right? Hand off to you and Congratulations.
Be the change, if you can manifest not having it so perfectly, you can manifest having it just as perfectly.

decreeing · commanding the subconscious mind
definition
(to) decree something means to decide or order that something must happen. when we "decree" the subconscious mind, it means that we give it an order, expecting it to be executed. in neville goddard‘s words, decreeing means to rise in consciousness to the naturalness of being the thing desired as the naturalness the thing desired will draw the manifestation of that desire onto you.
all about decreeing
you know that decreeing means to command. when we decree a thing, it will come to pass, meaning, it will manifest. since manifesting is all about what you are aware of and drawing onto you what you are conscious of in this given moment, decreeing is ever done in consciousness.
you don’t decree things to appear by affirming from a state of lack — in other words — you don’t decree from a place of being conscious of not having the thing desired. you have to first decree a thing and then get into the state of consciousness where you know that you already have what you desire!
you have always decreed what has appeared in your world. everything around you is a manifestation, a result of you decreeing. and you do this all the time! you automatically express what you are conscious of being, and often do this without realising — and very often without the use of words. remember, nothing has ever appeared in your reality without you decreeing that it should. even now, you are decreeing. you are commanding yourself to be and to possess what you are conscious of being and possessing.
done in consciousness
everything in your life has been created, therefore consciously decreed by you. consciousness/imagination/awareness (call it what you want) creates reality. your entire physical reality — everything that is now surrounding you — is a product of whatever you have claimed in consciousness. you have manifested it by thinking, as thinking is done in consciousness. and decreeing is no different than thinking consciously.
if you want to change the way your current reality looks like, the only way to do so is to take your attention away from whatever seems so real to you and rise in consciousness to whoever you desire to be. you cannot serve "two masters", therefore taking your attention from one state of consciousness and placing it upon another means to die in the old state and to live in the new one.
decreeing simplified
now, how do you decree and make it come to pass?
1 ⋮ become clear about your desire
2 ⋮ claim it as yours in consciousness
3 ⋮ remain in the state of knowing
with love, ella.

gotta laugh at everyone who has ever said that "~unLiKE tHe pEtEr jACkSoN fILmS~ the trop people don't care about tolkien, don't care about middle-earth, it's a soulless adaptation for the money just because amazon is behind it" because (and i say this while also saying fuck amazon, fuck jeff bezos. it goes without saying - two things can be true at the same time, i can't believe it bears repeating)
how do you think films and television get made?? hate to break it to you, but it's all for the money. new line cinema didn't say "we love tolkien, pj, let's do this for free!" they were literally looking for a franchise hit when they decided to take the films over from miramax - which is exactly what every studio and their mom is trying to do now!!! it's movie business, baby! to say the people behind trop - the actors, the casting directors, the production designers, the vfx artists, the art directors, the armorers, the costume designers, the set decorators, the makeup artists, the ADs, the carpenters, painters, prop-makers, steelworkers, laborers, animal handlers, sound editors, miniature builders, stuntpeople, craftspeople, movement and dialect coaches, trainers, lighting techs, jewelers, etc. - don't care about the story they're telling???? is a wild reach. obviously they work for the showrunners who work for amazon who care the most about making a profit, but so did peter jackson and new line!! wanting your project to be financially and critically successful is not an inherently evil thing, come on guys, are you still buying into the starving artist fallacy 😭
there are tons of little nods to the silmarillion and other parts of the legendarium in the rings of power. yes, there are also changes and goofs, but lotr and the hobbit film trilogies also had their fair share of changes and goofs. i just think that "these people didn't read the books/this is just a money grab/pj & co. cared about the source material while these losers clearly don't" are tired arguments used to justify subjective opinions, not to mention the way it reeks of revisionist history considering the way tolkien purists initially took great issue with deviations made in lotr and especially the hobbit.
it's almost like...the most hated tolkien adaptation is ever the current one.
#lotr#the rings of power#it's quite funny to note in the lead-up to s2 how many people feel the need to say “i hated s1 BUT... 👀”#something about this fandom makes people so defensive and easily triggered and it's baffling#deciding something isn't to your taste and you'll be abstaining thanks doesn't require this much justification#neither does changing your mind or choosing to watch critically or deciding to enjoy the ride as it is#maybe it's the fact that people want to consider themselves lore-masters and like to lord it over others#that 'i know tolkien better than you and definitely better than these overpaid hacks'#....good for you that you're comfortable in that sort of obnoxiousness i guess?#but you show your hand when you make these blanket statements that objectively make no sense

The Emperor got tired of you being difficult so now you have to deal with Thez'Taress, an exiled Venerator of Ilsensine and a much worse illithid who hates humans only slightly less than he hates elderbrains.
I just wanted to draw him in my own version of the dream guardian robes because my friend made a new roman inspired oc. This is my Tav/Oc btw, not the Emperor if the above text didn't make that clear.
here he is without the multiply and magic layers. I was originally going to give him the astral prism background and shade him but I'm tired of looking at this, maybe I'll mess with it again later, who knows
#thez'taress#illithid#mind flayer#my art#bg3#bg3 tav#baldurs gate 3#dnd#he might be evil and racist to anything not mindflayer but he sure does love his pretty outfits#he will not be as nice to you as emps is#if you're not a kiss ass theres a good chance he'll take the stones for himself this guy is so hungry for power#just what happens when the only thing keeping you from being the most powerful person in your species' empire is your ancient creed master#all he had to do was wait for him to die of old age he was already 112#shame that Creedmaster attempted to assassinate him but at least he survived and wandered off to the gate to live like a human for 20 years#From the Pinnacle to the Pit for real#kinda realizing that Thez is what people like to pretend the emperor is lkdsajghdfhg#his ass will NOT take no for an answer and all threats will be followed through
