throwing this question into the ether, but what is the origin of the serpent rings in the wheel of time? have the aes sedai always worn them? are they only associated w the aes sedai, or did the aes sedai co-opt them?
#the wheel of time#wheel of time#twot#wot#aes sedai#now i’m only on book 4#so maybe it’s answered in the books#it’s just interesting that so far it’s not really something that’s brought up#even as we’re exploring the origins of different symbols traditions etc#esp those relating to the aes sedai#like the old symbol for the aes sedai was mentioned#but no snakes

Golden Hour (+ lineart below cut)
I took a picture of the lines for once and did some basic crappy photo editing on my phone, so you could probably print this out and use it as a coloring page or something if you so wish lol. Do with it what you will.
#honkai star rail#dr ratio#veritas ratio#aventurine#aventurine hsr#cherallart#as you can see i forgor i wanted to draw his glasses til like. last second#i can’t believe it’s been like 2 whole months since I last did a whole like. watercolor illustration#part of that’s been bc I’ve been having a bit of a rough semester bc adhd med issues (which are resolved now)#but I really wanted to draw aventurine and ratio. my boys#i’ve been LOVING penacony so far so I needed to get something nice out#anyway I did this while my s/o and I alternated between reading a 500 pg long history book out lout to each other#it’s called ‘the inheritance of rome’ and kinda covers what happened after the collapse of the western roman empire#and tries to identify and explain all the cultural echoes and reverberations and transformations that rose from its ashes#throughout europe north africa and the middle east. anyway it’s super interesting and I highly recommend it#the late antique period is not something often covered/talked abt in public ed hist classes. at least not when I was goin through em#or the transitory period between it and the early medieval period at least#i still got 150 pages left and a final paper due on it in like 4 days but it’s only a 5 pg minimum and I’m a wordy bitch so#i think i can make it#anyway back to that I go

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder (2005) #1
#starting this book#I know it’s unpopular#and my assumption after reading this first issue is that the world it takes place in is too extreme for the story to completely work for me#but I’m into the tragic sidekick thing right now#and unhealthy relationships#and I’m not so emotionally invested in the Batman mythos to be bothered by ‘bad characterization’#that’s only for my favorite characters#also I’ve already read Robin: Year One and Legends of the Dark Knight issue 100 and Dark Victory#and Robin (1993) Annual 4 and Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet#which I think would be the other obvious picks if I wanted to read a stand-alone story about Batman and Robin’s relationship#dc#bruce wayne#dick grayson#my posts#comic panels

hey actually what was up with the artemis fowl series suddenly pivoting to make the grown adult woman a love interest for the teenage boy. like I’ve blocked everything after the first 4 books from my mind bc I hate them for many reasons but like. genuinely what the fuck.
#made worse I think by the new movie making Holly a child as well I think#(I don’t know I didn’t watch it and I’ll never watch it out of spite)#artemis fowl was one of The most influential book series for me personally I loved them dearly#(again. only the first 4 tho)#I HATED 5. it’s the only one I do not own. bc I disliked it that much.#but seriously pivoting the relationship between a literal child and a grown adult woman to be even kind of romantic is weird right#i knowwwww in the book where they kissed she’d been time bullshitty aged back down to a teenager too but like. my god#sorry I’ve had these grievances for nearly a decade now#anyway. I doubt anybody cares about this series lmao#also I must say I’m a niche butch Holly/transfem Trouble t4t lesbian truther it needs to be said#(i am the only correct person about artemis fowl thanks)#.doc#actually I must continue. I loved holly that was a real blow to her character. also no adaption has ever done her right.#theyve always made her too feminine. she’s got SHORT SHORT hair and brown skin and a hooked nose and literally nobody ever depicts her as s

“they don’t want people to know that their daughter is a monster” 1) look who’s talking, and 2) literally what did she DOOOO that was so unforgivable, except be a teenage girl that was kinda insane over her comphet crush and have access to spells. i jst think, in this fantasy world, aurora rlly didn’t even… do… that much…. like, out of all the actions she did, she mostly jst kinda handed ppl tools and then it was out of her hands. jacks fucking traded his heart to her willingly (for a protection cuff that didn’t seem to do that much for the end of the story, anyway). i’m an aurora defender, because you guys see one (1) female character that’s not perfectly feminine and submissive and you start screaming
#memorie.txt#.bookthoughts#i’m sorry i’m not over this. ship evangeline and jacks all you want but you guys only hate aurora bc she also had a crush on jacks#& was funny and insane over it. you hate female characters the moment they aren’t perfect.#but JACKS gets a pass for being a creep a lot of the time and also being. like. an actual villain#now i personally love him at his worst and hate him in the spin-off#but anyway. proud aurora valor defender…#i hate that i read caraval when my brain was developing and now i have feelings over a shitty ya series#that i would otherwise not care abt#but god cursed me in this way and i’ll take to it with a religious fervor i GUESS#the lack of other female characters even having purpose in this series also makes me sad. say SORRY WOMEN!!!!!#author: stephanie garber#book: a curse for true love#what’s also frustrating is that i know most of the fans will age a bit in the next few years and realize all the flaws#like i did w the original trilogy#but it makes me sad. aurora i’m sorry you never got to be reunited with your twin. i’m sorry your ex fiancé killed ppl over you.#i’m sorry you were put in a coma. i’m sorry ppl hate you indiscriminately.#same thing w apollo. he’s jst a self-absorbed guy who was cursed 4 times#we never saw his personality and stephanie jst needed a quick villain for the third book she didn’t plan for

Uh-oh. This is bad
#For some reason I always end up predicting my life events through the fiction I write or read with scary accuracy#especially if everything I’m writing/consuming “feels right” and like I’m being pulled into it#I was just pulled into The Metamorphosis and woke up in the middle of the night to finish reading it#I think I know who that book applies to#And now this book… hm#Don’t like that#unreality#magical thinking#tagging as that just in case but it’s happened before multiple times#They’re not necessarily actual premonitions; they’re me subconsciously piecing together a puzzle of clues#that all lead to me figuring out the most likely series of events to follow#Maybe I’ve heard in-depth information about these books before; but only remember it in the back of my mind#so that the front of my mind cannot recall; and have only been guided by what I’ve heard whispered back there#a subconscious switch gets thrown at the critical point and I’m drawn to it#I knew what happened and what was going to happen in 2018 back in 2017 from my sketchbooks and story outlines#I read Crime and Punishment and like clockwork events very similar to what had happened in the book started happening to me#It worked backwards for awhile from 2019–2021 after I got caught#Every time I happened to glance at a clock; there was either a 4 or a 20 or a 24 on the display. Always. No exceptions.#This went on for months. Those numbers were part of a spell I wrote and recited over and over again; I won’t say the words#because I’m not sure if it’s so much a spell as it is a curse — it is a self-deprecating spell#I only started seeing this number pattern AFTER I had been caught as an apostate; not before#before I’d look at the clock and it would say 5:33 or 9:15 or 12:45; after it was 4:04 or 2:24 or 12:20 ON THE DOT#Call me crazy but if every time you looked at a clock for MONTHS it always read a specific set of numbers you’d go a little nutty too#THEN in 2021 I read 1984 and it described my life up until that point PERFECTLY (WITH the number 4 plastered all over it)#Something happened back then and it’s still fucking happening because I was caught at the end of 2019#Just a little over four years away from the year 2024 and I was driven to set my exit date at 4/24/2024 before reading 1984#1984 is set in April 4 1984; April 4 is 20 days away from 4/24… SEE WHAT I MEAN?! I’m a raving lunatic but I’m right

You guys
I know it’s almost one am and I should be asleep, but not only have I had story ideas.
but I’ve realized that if I keep working at this pace, I can have my first original story published before I’ve graduated high school
#I mean. I’ve got more than half of the first book planned and only an 1/4 of that written#But! I just started these revisions for half a novel I started my freshman year. That document was almost forty thousand words?#So I’m revising that making it cooler#And now if I actually work on it I might know someone who can help me get it published?#So then first book in the series done

Crazy to me how humans have literally made life so difficult for ourselves for no reason at all. Like why do we have to pay for water monthly when it literally falls from the sky? Why is a super simple one bed, one bath “house” (cheaply made of course) easily between $250k-$400k and someone would have to pay a high monthly payment with a 20% interest rate to have it? Why did we choose these numbers? When did we make prices for food so high, create mortgages, student loans, and car payments? Who created interest rates? Why does my entire future depend on a credit score? A number we ourselves made up. Why did we go the extra mile and decide to tax ourselves? For what purpose? When did we decide that we need to have a certain level of education to succeed and if you don’t have it you are obviously a failure at life. When did we say “yes, this seems good, I want to pay astronomical amounts of money for literally everything and make everything as stressful as possible for no reason at all?” Why do I owe money for having money (taxes)? Why can’t I pay for stuff with rocks? That cat I see sleeping in a warm beam of sunlight (and living a happier life than I) doesn’t have a credit score, it doesn’t have to pay extreme amounts of money for a home, it doesn’t have to pay for water that falls from the sky, it doesn’t have to worry about interest rates, it doesn’t know what the Pythagorean theorem is, it doesn’t have a car payment, a set of tires doesn’t cost it easily $1,000 in one go, it didn’t make applying for a home or a car an exhausting endeavor, it doesn’t have to work 40+ hours a week working on stuff that we made up all for a check that doesn’t even reasonably cover any expenses (that once again we forced on ourselves). So why are we?? Why can’t we help ourselves out and make rent $10 a month? Why can’t a good credit score be a 10 instead of 700-800? Why can’t a mansion be $10,000 instead of a million? Let’s make grocery shopping easier by trading cool rocks and pieces of clay pottery and buttons and other neat things for food. What’s stopping us from doing that? Why did we create the most complicated system? “The entire system would collapse, there would be anarchy, everything would shut down, society would explode!!!” Why?? Over numbers and problems we made up ourselves? It’s all made up!! Why did we make it so hard? We could have made things so easy and have a perfectly workable society. We could have the most bonkers system and could all be schooling life right now if we paid for stuff with pretty things we find in abundance and made houses cost like one pretty vase and a loaf of bread you bought with your cool acorn stash and made cars only cost a packet of tomato seeds with no interest rates in sight, didn’t make the production of goods and supplies so expensive, and if we simply didn’t tax ourselves, and if education/the school system was literally just learning all sorts of things that could help you live a happy, self sufficent, simple, productive life the way you want to live it (if you want to learn about history, languages, how to work on cars, or build robots, or cooking, or music, making pottery, or conducting science experiments, learning about medicine, or playing sports or whatever you could do so) and it wouldn’t cost you your first born child, and if we didn’t have mind numbing jobs trapped in windowless buildings doing things that shouldn’t actually matter or exist but we made them so. Why did we make it so hard??
#I had to get a new car bc the one I had for only 6 years and was relatively new went I got died on me this year#I got another car#like 4 months later the battery in it died so I had to spend almost $300 for it#I have a car payment now when I didn’t with my other car that I was so proud of myself for buying outright all by myself bc I saved & saved#I shouldn’t have had to save that much in the first place#why can’t cars cost a pretty painting you made?#or cost 10 neat rocks a packet of flower seeds and 2 books?#my phone quit on me about a month ago so there goes $300 dollars#my car insurance cost $600 this month#my car already has two nearly bald tires#gonna have to pay almost $500 for two of them#I mean it never ends!#and for what?#why is it so hard and expensive??#why didn’t we make a society that could run in $10.00 houses and pretty rocks for household goods#and not base our lives on a random number we made up#every other animal in the whole kingdom must be laughing at us for being so stupid#I’m just complaining (as per usual)#I’m tired of all my money disappearing the second I get it because literally everything is so expensive#it’s one problem after another! I’m tired!#let’s just suddenly announce all houses are $100.00#but Chief all of society would collapse?!#no it wouldn’t because I say it wouldn’t bc this is all *make believe*#life as we know it is just a game and everbodies losing because a select few keep changing the rules

idc i’m a hater seeing everyone adore freddy’s portrayal as kaz makes me wonder if you all read the same books i did
#if i had never read the books and only seen the show i would not care for him at all#what bothers me is i don’t find his betrayal believable like#i just wouldn’t take his words or threats seriously#he is better now than season 1#but he’s at his least kaz like when he’s alone with the crows#which is so bothersome! because that’s the stuff i like most in the books#mine#i will admit i did like the scene with pekka in ep 4 ? i think#but then when he’s with the crows i’m back to where i started#he just doesn’t feel familiar to me#but he has the look! he looks exactly how i pictured him#but his line delivery just doesn’t do it for me

mini part 4 for gojo day 🧁 next part will probably be the finale. thank you for showing best friend toru so much love even tho he is fairly toxic. art by @ _3aem on twt!! part one part two part three
warnings: a very vague birthday bj, some feelings? MDNI
birthdayboybestfriend!satoru who waits with his phone in his hand ignoring all his other messages and skipping to your contact because he knows you’ll say it at bang on midnight. he is then smiling so hard at his phone suguru actually gets worried.
bestfriend!satoru who obviously has party of the century going on at his place. being the star boy he is, he is soaking up the attention. however he has been dyingggg for your arrival, he makes sure to tell every girl that approaches him that he is booked and busy for today.
bestfriend!satoru who tackles you into a massive hug when he sees you and picks you up just to make sure everyone else sees this. you’re wearing white (his favourite) and he knows for a fact you did that on purpose.
bestfriend!satoru who disregards everyone else’s presents for the time being so he can give you and your presents his full attention. unfortunately he is nosy and had scrolled through your google tab last week so he already knew what two of them were going to be.
bestfriend!satoru who (staying true to character) asks you for a birthday kiss. ‘can i have my last present now baby?’ and then he’s pressed up against you and his familiar taste is all you can take in. ‘toru people can see us’ ‘let them see baby’
bestfriend!satoru who wraps your ponytail around his fist whilst you’re talking. sometimes even pulling you back a bit so he can take a long inhale at your neck.
bestfriend!satoru who is actually very annoyed that he got a hot tub because now there were multiple gawking at you. suguru even wolf whistles at you at one point just to rile him up and he got a mouthful of tub water because of it.
bestfriend!satoru who catches you whispering to suguru and finds he definitely does not like the look of that. you had a worried expression which he made a mental note of to ask suguru about later.
bestfriend!satoru who casually gropes at your chest. (you allow him of course) (however you put an end to it when his fingers start to creep into the material of the lace covering your breasts.) (there were simply too many people present but satoru was content with just holding your tit) (stressball >__<)
bestfriend!satoru who makes his closest friends go round the tub and say what they like about him most. suguru is the only one who gives him a slightly heartfelt message, sukuna calls him ugly, toji calls him an airhead, nanami says he is ‘special’ (whatever that means?), shoko says he makes her want to smoke. and then it’s your turn and gojo actually tears up at your beautiful words. your voice and your eyes staring only ever at him saying that he is your person and you really do think he the strongest individual you know. (then he grabs your face and kisses you and the crowd boos until he stops)
bestfriend!satoru who is dead set on you staying with him for the night. ‘you’re not gonna cuddle your best friend on his birthday?’ and how could you everrrr say no to that.
bestfriend!satoru who has his head on your chest, you hands running through his hair and scratching at your scalp. his thighs are covering yours and he lazily kisses at your collarbone. the tension in the room is thick. you can both feel it. it was simply a game of who would move first. satoru knew you wouldn’t, always the more timid and shy one of the two so he took it upon himself to drag his fingers across the waistband of your shorts. ‘wait toru we can’t i’m, i’m your friend?’ god you were too sweet for this earth. ‘it’s okay baby. we don’t have to, but no one’s gonna know. just us.’ and he litters even more feather light kisses to the spot right below your ear until you were letting out soft little sighs. ‘then. then i want to do it, yk since it’s your birthday.’ he knew you weren’t the most conventional best friends but this, this was further than anything you’d ever done before. and he was on cloud nine.
bestfriend!satoru who was now realizing that he had never experienced true joy before this moment. before he had felt your velvet soft lips wrapped around his tip. your tongue licking at his crown so softly, so sweetly. he’s always been a moaner but now he had no shame in the sounds that were leaving him. ‘that’s it baby, just like that. that’s my girl’.
bestfriend!satoru who was a head pusher. he let you set the pace in the beginning but he was growing desperate, something he hadn’t experienced before. your little mewls as he holds you in place right at the base of his dick. your nose nestled against the faint hairs there, and your tears dropping directly into his skin. he had given you the chance to move but being the amazing best friend that you were you swallowed everything he gave you, even opened wide and let him take a look, that to make sure. ‘fuck baby that was the best gift ever’
bestfriend!satoru who snores like a truck directly into your ears and grinds his hips into your thighs whilst he sleeps.
