#on a wish and a prayer

[tornoleander]

Despite skybound being my favourite season on a wish and a prayer is my least favourite episode

Firstly jay gets blamed for Zane being gone, however zane already knew that jay made his two out of his three wishes. Now sure they don’t know that. Still really annoying, also the fact that no one gave a shit that jay was adopted is awful sure they might be mad at him but the fact that it would’ve been so much better if they just look back up him with some with some sad eyes or something and then just turn away and still angry with him but nothing so much better than them just ignoring him in general also they didn’t really tell that they might have been killed by the tiger widow but they had Cole who’s a ghost now we know we do know that ghosts are weak to water but we don’t know how they do with venom I do that how in the next episode they realised their mistake.

Also at the beginning of the episode when jay tells Cole he already made two out of three wishes and how are you and how was lucky to not to not make his Third it almost sounded as though he was going to wish it all away.

Heh oh boi Let me stop you right there, this is the take I had about 7 years ago. I grew up, I was wrong and my opinion changed let me tell you why.

First, the ninja should absolutely be mad at Jay for not telling them he made wishes.

He talked to their enemy, lied to them about his inheritance and held back vital information that would keep his friends safer.

Sure, Zane figured out Jay had made wishes and still went alone. But don’t you think Lloyd or Nya would have let him if they knew? And what about Kai!? I don’t even think Cole knows Jay could have saved him.

Jay definitely deserves some blame for Zane and Kai wishing it all away. Jay sharing his experience might have saved both of them but he didn’t give his team the best chance winning.

Even though he was manipulated into keeping the wishes to himself out of shame, that does NOT mean the other were wrong for being pissed at him.

Second, Jay brought up that he was adopted purely for sympathy in that moment. He literally says “in my defense, I did just find out my birth parents weren’t my real parents. Very much not a defense It’s fully unrelated to the way he messed up, the other have no obligation to respond to that and quite honestly I’m not even sure they heard him.

Third, he’s not actually treated that bad for what he did. The way he whines might have you believe that but ALL his friends do is be angry, ignore him and not comfort him when he’s whining about whatever.

Worst thing was nominating him to get the venom. It can be debated if Jay deserves this as he’s being put into a deadly situation.

Though I would argue this kinda is just the ninjas Job…… and he put the others in danger by withholding info. Also the others know Jay, well enough to know he can do it. Remember he’s stronger than he appears. They sure think he can get the venom on his own and he does.

However, feeling the way you do is very understandable with how Skybound is framed we are over empathetic to Jay so when his team turns on him and he starts acting like a wet cat it makes us think the others are wrong for making him feel bad. But once you look from the other ninjas perspective you’ll see the reality of the situation.

Not sure if this is a media literacy problem or more skybound framing thing but yeah a lot of kids walk away thinking what Jay did really wasn’t that bad. I mean I love him he’s my favorite but he still can act terrible.

In my opinion On a wish and a prayer is Jay getting what he deserves for being awful and after all these years I find it more amusing than sad. To be clear I think He fucked up and deserved to retrieve the venom but he doesn’t deserve getting kidnapped and what takes place after.

But I have promises to keep—and miles to go before I sleep.

I couldn't stop thinking about VAL listening to Shrue's radio speech when she confronts Carson, and wondering just how many times she listened back to that recording while waiting for him. Did it bring her some comfort, to listen to someone else's last words as she waited to speak her own? Did she feel a little less alone, keeping company with another ghost that hasn't realised it's already dead?

Mighty Hekáte, Goddess of All pathways,

Seer of all things,

Guide me through the shadows,

Whisper to me their meanings,

Show me where to place my feet,

Take my hand and lead me to do great things,

Teach me to find the meaning in Your prophecy,

Goddess of Mystery, of Liminal, of Night, I devote myself to You.

In chapter 17 of Vivid BAD SQAUD's Main Story, MEIKO offers Akito tea in a whiskey glass, which understandably is originally mistaken for alcohol.

This scene is later referenced in chapter 7 of Beyond Prayers, The Tomorrow We Wish For, where Luka and KAITO are surprised that MEIKO would serve alcohol to a minor before they're told the truth. Toya also questions Akito, but he says that he didn't drink any, and in the after live he confirms that he doesn't drink at all because he's underage.

Both these interactions confirm that Street SEKAI MEIKO does stock alcohol at crase cafe and suggests that she likes whiskey, which calls back to MEIKO's character item being alcholic drinks (often depicted as sake).

inside of me there are 2 wolves. one wants so badly to worship like 12 different deities. the other just barely has the energy to devote to 1 😭

[novelconcepts]

I live in a neighborhood I generally regard as safe for queer people. I live in a city pretty well known for being progressive, liberal, open to minorities. I live in a place I actively chose because it felt safe for me, my wife, my queer siblings, my friends of color. A place where there are endless Love is Love placards, pro-science measures, pro-Gaza notices in public windows. A place I love dearly for all of these reasons.

There are still Trump signs here. There are still proud bigots, loudly announcing they’re going to vote for that piece of shit. Here. In my safe neighborhood, in my liberal city. Here, where I can’t not see them. Here, they are still trying like hell to take away democracy. My liberties. My safety. Everything I hold dear, every reason I moved here in the first place.

The polls don’t matter. The registration numbers only count if the registered actually come out when push comes to shove. Do not rest on your fucking “oh, it couldn’t happen again” laurels, do not get complacent. Do not let your guard down. Vote. It is more critical than ever.

...this feels like foreshadowing.

If y’all could pray for my friend (whose name I shan’t give away) we had a long talk at something like 3am last night and he seems right on the cusp of believing
