Genuine question, not trying to spark more drama, but wouldn't psychosis be completely different from kinning? Not everyone who kins has psychosis right? /genq /nm
Yes! You’re right, not every fictionkin has psychosis. For myself, fictionkin is a spiritual belief. I’m assuming you’re referencing my little blurb in the tags of a previous post 😅 That’s just because I’ve encountered… quite a few people that insist it’s always psychosis, get invasive and go out of their way in attempts to invalidate fictionkins they encounter in the wild, and are generally… not very tactful about it. Even if it *is* psychosis, picking a fight with someone over the way they label *their symptoms* feels needless and mean spirited. It’s invasive and uncalled for regardless of someone’s diagnostic status.
There are many people in the fictkin community who do have psychosis, and their fictkin identity comes from psychological inner workings rather than spirituality. They deserve a space to exist and feel respected too, they’re just as valid.
Much like any other spiritual belief, you don’t have to hold the belief yourself— just be respectful of the fact that others do! And much like any other psychological condition, you don’t have to experience it yourself to understand that it is a reality to others. Just be kind, is the bottom line here.

Angelus, 12/3/2023
Today, first Sunday of Advent, in the brief Gospel the liturgy offers us (cf. Mk 13: 33-37), Jesus addresses a simple and direct exhortation to us, three times: “Watch” (vv. 33, 35, 37).
Thus, the theme is vigilance. How should we understand it? Sometimes we think of this virtue as an attitude motivated by fear of impending doom, as if a meteorite were about to plunge from the sky and threaten, if we do not avoid it in time, to overwhelm us. But this is certainly not what Christian vigilance is all about!
Jesus illustrates it with a parable, speaking about a master who will return, and about his servants who await him (cf. v. 34). The servant in the Bible is the “trusted person” of the master, which whom there is often a relationship of collaboration and affection. Think, for example, that Moses is defined as the servant of God (cf. Nm 12: 7), and that even Mary says of herself, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord” (Lk 1: 38). So, the servants’ vigilance is not one of fear, but of longing, of waiting to go forth to meet their Lord who is coming. They remain in readiness for his return because they care for him, because they have in mind that when he returns, they will make him find a welcoming and orderly home; they are happy to see him, to the point that they look forward to his return as a feast for the whole great family of which they are a part.
It is with this expectation filled with affection that we also want to prepare ourselves to welcome Jesus: at Christmas, which we will celebrate in a few weeks; at the end of time, when He will return in glory; every day, as He comes to meet us in the Eucharist, in His Word, in our brothers and sisters, especially those most in need.
So, in a special way during these weeks, let us prepare the house of the heart with care, so that it is orderly and hospitable. In fact, keeping watch means keeping the heart ready. It is the attitude of the sentinel, who in the night is not tempted by weariness, does not fall asleep, but remains awake awaiting the coming light. The Lord is our light and it is good to dispose the heart to welcome him with prayer and to host him with charity, the two preparations that, so to speak, make him comfortable. In this regard, the story goes that Saint Martin of Tours, a man of prayer, after giving half of his cloak to a poor man, dreamed of Jesus clad in that very part of the cloak he had given. Here is a good program for Advent: to encounter Jesus coming in every brother and sister who needs us and to share with them what we can: listening, time, concrete assistance.
Dear friends, it will be good for us today to ask ourselves how we can prepare a welcoming heart for the Lord. We can do so by approaching His forgiveness, His Word, His Table, finding space for prayer, welcoming those in need. Let us cultivate His expectation without letting ourselves be distracted by so many pointless things, and without complaining all the time, but keeping our hearts alert, that is, eager for Him, awake and ready, impatient to meet Him.
May the Virgin Mary, woman of expectation, help us to receive her coming Son.

“To encounter the sacred is to be alive at the deepest center of human existence. Sacred places are the truest definitions of the earth; they stand for the earth immediately and forever; they are its flags and shields. If you would know the earth for what it really is, learn it through its sacred places. At Devil’s Tower or Canyon de Chelly or the Cahokia Mounds, you touch the pulse of the living planet; you feel its breath upon you. You become one with a spirit that pervades geologic time and space.” ― N. Scott Momaday

7, 12, 16, 18, 20 - that's a lot so take your pick, I just always like seeing your opinions
right back at you! was secretly hoping you would reblog the game :)
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?
never really encountered this phenomena before cobra kai except for the vaguest hint of an aversion to samwise gamgee after everyone kept calling him the "real hero," but that aversion never took, and i'm ashamed to admit such weakness even now.
johnny lawrence was one of my favorite characters in cobra kai season one and then i logged onto tumblr and now i just Do Not Get It. a feeling i think from pre-season 3, even, when he was still a good and consistent character in the show. another character was robby. predictably, he was a bit babygirlified and he got soooo much more attention than sam and tory and even miguel and tbh, that made me pout massively. like. i don't care about him :(
i could be intellectual about this (and, okay, clearly the root of this petty hate is that particular sort of frustration that comes over a girl when all the boys in her fourth grade gym class get mad at her for being faster than them and then they refuse to let her play in their recess soccer game even though she's the best player--and it then sticks with her for the rest of her life) but in a vacuum i probably wouldn't feel the way i do. like, my ire is definitely in response to how other people feel about the bully character from 80's sports movie karate kid.
12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
you can bet that any female character that has ever been called annoying is at the top of this list. feels like girls like that are always popping up and torturing pop-culture consumers. the only one i can name right now is sam larusso, since that's the most recent model.
but also i read pride and prejudice in seventh grade. didn't get a single word of it, but i did understand that mrs. bennett was extremely annoying. then i read it again a few years later and have been her fierce defender ever since. female characters with high-pitched voices and anxiety: i adore. if you don't like those characters, in my head im thinking you're only as intelligent as me at 13.
16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
any sort of portrayal of spock as someone who is violent and angry and just holding it back constantly bc he hates being half human--i do Not Get It. any sort portrayal of an alien species on star trek in which the aliens learn to embrace their humanity, or something. like, i can't stand it.
i want spock to be super-duper logical and stoic. i want that to be a good thing. i want all alien characteristics to be embraced and explored. i want the weirdness. new trek just isn't doing weirdness enough! and if human morality and social structures are so universally important, stop being cowardly and explain whyyyyy.
this also applies to fanfic which is, in fact, disastrously worse on this subject. especially fanfic based on the 2009 star trek movie.
but okay it's like---the roswell conspiracy is really fun and stuff cause it is really just the government stoking some nonsense so the russians can't figure out all the special-stupid weapons and spy-equipment they're making. and then it means that everything in roswell, nm is alien themed: little green faces everywhere, three-fingered hands waving at you on billboards, "greetings earthlings," 50's era space-art, and so on. I am very into that aesthetic, especially in the middle of nowhere southwest desert with not a mountain or forest for hundred of miles. of course people were looking up and being like "there must be Something out there. look how big."
all good, yes, and silly. but people really believe it and they really believe that the aliens look the way they do! the way the "witnesses" described little looking men with big ol eyes in a big ol head and extra long arms. sweeties! that's a primate! that's an earth-creature! there's no imagination! there's no weirdness! what if the aliens didn't have a face. what if they didn't have eyes! what if they were made of a chalky substance that molted every few minutes to maintain a needed basic pH and their way of observing electromagnetic radiation was not light projected thru a lens but like little pores of mucous all over their body like the one's on sharks (ampullae of lorenzini) that absorb electromagnetic radiation and also give the creature poles which means they can block all visible light with special mind powers and maybe photosynthesize or something.
i realize that fanfiction is largely concerned with two attractive men going at it, but for all that people claim to be "monster fuckers," that really hasn't borne out in star trek fanfic. explore eroticism with the weird, with the actually alien. i want that. that'd be great. i know octavia butler and others already Did That but i want to see a star trek go boldly, you know what i mean. also, i want something more like eroticism for the sake of the erotic--not as metaphor about feminine subjugation or something (no offense ms. butler).
even if that doesn't happen, would love to read a fanfic or watch a tv show in which, for example, spock's journey is not about how oppressive being a vulcan is, or whatever.

Sam Weber Releases Stripped Back Tale of a Near Death Experience on “Void”
Tumblr media
Los Angeles’ Sam Weber (originally from British Columbia) is continuing his string of single releases leading up to the release of Clear and Plain, a meditative collection of intuitive songwriting out on August 23rd.
New single, “Void,” is a gently rollicking journey which muses on Weber’s time spent in New Mexico. Its stripped-backed instrumentation (glimmers of piano, guitar, and brushed drums) creates space for the great skies of this southern state to appear in our minds’ eye.
The laidback nature of music in “Void” juxtaposes a story within its lyrics which found Weber coming dangerously close to losing his life on the state’s highways.
[“Void”] was written around the time Mal and I went to Bosque Del Apache nature preserve outside of Socorro, NM so they could film and photograph the sandhill crane migration.
The same Socorro that’s known for the Lonnie Zamora Incident, one of the best documented
close encounters of the third kind. Driving north on the 25 highway, we were looking at emergency vehicles headed south in the opposite lane. I turned back to our lane and there was a car inside of 100 feet driving toward us on the wrong side of the road. I grabbed the wheel from Mal who was driving and ripped it into the passing lane, and we teetered on two wheels and almost rolled the car and died. I think some of that near mortal energy combined with all the alien energy made its way out of me in “Void.” – Sam Weber

Firsts of NMS
Repairs on my "acquired" vessel have begun in No Man's Sky. I think it's already technically better than my starting ship - that is, already has more storage and/or its thrusters and weapons systems are superior - but I'm sticking to the old for now because the new one is ugly, inside and out.
On the outside it looks like someone tried to make an e-cigarette look kind of like an x-wing and then gave up 1/4 of the way into the task. The starter looks basically like a plane that's spaceworthy.
On the inside it's got all the partly repaired modules. Completing repairs will clear them up, allowing me to add more fancy stuff to it and carry more cargo, but for now a bunch of slots are functionally just filled with junk I can't clear. Like I said, I think the spaces I've already cleared number more than the starter ship's total cargo space. It's just that working around all that junk is a nuisance.
In the hunt for parts that I could use for those repairs I found out that asteroids are crazy valuable. Silver, gold, and platinum all can be found in some asteroids.
While mining platinum I had my first dogfight, as I was attacked by an enemy vessel. I found it easier to stand still and just rotate to shoot the enemy quickly, but that might change as later enemies get stronger weapon systems. If I can dodge enemy missile shots I'll probably want to.
I visited a volcano on a world dominated by the sentinel droids. I was sad to note that there isn't either a pickup or something to analyze at a volcano. As I've not yet died on this character I wasn't willing to jump in and find out whether it was instant death or just gnarly damage. Related: I've installed a weapon system on my multitool, and once it's online I'll probably return to this planet to fight sentinels for parts. They have stuff I can use for repairs on my fancy vape ship. So far I've had one encounter where I fought sentinels briefly, but recognizing I didn't have any real weapons I didn't bother trying to win. Also I was immediately grossly outnumbered.

Which Charter Jet Size Should You Reserve?
A private aircraft is the pinnacle of luxury and comfort for your travel requirements. A bombardier global express charter will provide you with the experience you want, whether you're a business executive hoping to wow you or your clients want to fly in style with your family and friends.
When flying privately, you have a variety of options to think about. The private jet's characteristics that will influence your choice of the best aircraft are capacity, size, speed, and range. Analyze your particular requirements and educate yourself on the great charter planes offered before selecting your bombardier global express charter.
You can select from a variety of private jet models for your upcoming trip. The first step in making sure you get the ideal aircraft for your travels is figuring out the charter jet size that best meets your requirements.
1-Light jets
Light private planes have some extra features while retaining many of the same qualities as other smaller aircraft. You can also get some of the comforts you want when flying privately with light jets. These consist of the following:
• supple, comfortable leather seats • a little refreshment area • a constrained number of electronics • a personal restroom
2-Middle-sized jets
If you wish to go farther on a private jet charter flight without upgrading to the truly wealthy features of larger aircraft, renting a midsize jet is a wonderful alternative.
A midsize plane can accommodate you and up to 11 other passengers in privacy and comfort. Enjoy features including a private restroom, reclining seats, a snack and beverage bar always stocked, fold-down tables, and Wi-Fi. Even a cabin attendant can fit in a midsize jet, helping to make your flight even more comfortable.
3-Superb-midsize jets
Super-midsize private planes maintain the best qualities of midsize jets while elevating the concept of flying privately to a new level. The following are some of the improvements you might encounter in a super-midsize jet:
Greater cabin volume: In super-midsize aircraft with 73 inches-tall cabins like the Bombardier Challenger 300, even taller passengers may stand and move around comfortably.
Greater flying distance: Fly further in a super-midsize jet like the 3,500 nm-range Cessna Citation Longitude.
Convenient amenities: Some of the fantastic luxuries that await you on a super-midsize private jet include larger restrooms, lie-down sleeping spaces, and a galley filled with your preferred snacks and beverages.
Conclusion
You want to keep this blog saved so you decide what type of jet is needed for your travel. If you're interested in learning more about bombardier global express charter, visit the website of Flyelitejets.

Some random shots from the last month or so of exploration in No Man's Sky. Which hasn't been as much as in previous months, as I've been taking a bit of a break from it lately and playing both a lot less hours and not every day (though I am still about to spam my blog with lots of NMS images).
Had my first encounter with an underwater ruin a while back, which I tripped over while swimming around in the deeps trying to find a rare underwater creature. I liked that it had a similar-but-different function than the ruins on dry land.
Also finally fully explored a wrecked space freighter for the first time. I had (accidentally) bought a locator and gone into one a while back, but it felt too jump scare for me which I was not in the mood for at the time, so I'd left. Finally went into one on purpose because I'd like some upgrades for my current freighter, please and thank you, and they're only findable in the wrecks. So I will be doing more of those, as the mood strikes.
Still enjoying when I trip over anomalies in space that I haven't seen before. And driving (or running, or swimming) around on planets finding stuff.
Killed the last week+ doing the repeat of the Exobiology expedition, which I'd missed doing earlier this year; it was around right when I first started playing, and I was more focused on learning how to play than doing extra stuff.
Decided I needed more build set pieces to be able to work on bases in my previous (big builds) save, like my City of Atlantis, so finally got around to looking up how to unlock legacy build sets. After unlocking them on that save, I made one small test building at Atlantis. I also very happily replaced the floor inside my central tower's portal room with orange cement, as that is what it should be. I might do a bit of a rebuild of the tower base to use the cement and alloy build tiles, since they're closer to what it should look like (or at least closer to the look of it in my head...).

The Tarantula is situated 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the Southern sky and is clearly visible to the naked eye as a large milky patch. Astronomers believe that this smallish irregular galaxy is currently going through a violent period in its life. It is orbiting around the Milky Way and has had several close encounters with it. It is believed that the interaction with the Milky Way has caused an episode of energetic star formation - part of which is visible as the Tarantula Nebula.
Just above the centre of the image there is a huge cluster of very hot stars called R136. The stars in R136 are also among the most massive stars we know. R136 is also a very young cluster, its oldest stars being "just" 5 million years old or so. Its smallest stars, however, are still forming, so astronomers observe R136 to try to understand the early stages of stellar evolution. Near the lower edge of the image we find the star cluster Hodge 301. Hodge 301 is almost 10 times older than R136. Some of the stars in Hodge 301 are so old that they have already exploded as supernovae. The shockwave from this explosion has compressed the gas in the Tarantula into the filaments and sheets that are seen around the cluster.
This mosaic of the Tarantula Nebula consists of images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and was created by 23 year old amateur astronomer Danny LaCrue. The image was constructed by 15 individual exposures taken through three narrow-band filters allowing light from ionised oxygen (501 nm, shown as blue), hydrogen-alpha (656 nm, shown as green) and ionised sulphur (672 nm, shown as red). The exposure time for the individual WFPC2 images vary between 800 and 2800 seconds in each filter. The Hubble data have been superimposed onto images taken through matching narrow-band filters with the European Southern Observatory's New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory, Chile. Additional image processing was done by the Hubble European Space Agency Information Centre.

encountered a strange mechanic in no man's sky where there are spots of perpetual twilight on planet surfaces, but they do not necessarily align with the planet's poles. i mean in theory neither does the earth's magnetic pole align with its rotational pole, right? like the earth's zone of perpetual twilight is centered elswehere to its magnetic pole, isn't it? i don't know. lol. anyway the planets in nms don't actually rotate, nor do they move in relation to the sun, the day cycle just... goes around them arbitrarily. they're just sitting in a cubic box with a star background printed on the walls, including the local star, which you can identify by studying the constellations adjacent to the local star, which never change, or by observing that save becaons and bases never move in relation to a space station
you can find the perpetual twilight zone by watching the planet from space and guessing where it's centered. also, i think it only works at north poles, because i went to a south pole (using compass coordinates, possibly the wrong method) and, anecdotally, it was dark
