Overconsumption: A problem in the LOA Community

Manifestation is really easy, and it’s super simple. All you need to do is affirm, persist, and know, but for some goddamn reason the LOA community likes to make things complicated. But don’t worry, i’ll give you some tips and tricks on how to stop over consuming stuff you already know!

1.Delete the apps or unsubscribe

I bet you go on tumblr everyday to read a loa post or you decide to binge watch sammy ingram so you can feel clarity. Am I right? Babes you don’t need to do that, you can still support these platforms but stop gaining info on what you already know, you’re just scared you won’t get results that’s why you go to "experts". GIRL YOU ARE THE EXPERT??? The Law of Assumption is not rocket science, it literally is just affirming and persisting. In the end you’ll get confused and go to some random accounts posts and probably get angry or jealous that you’re doing something wrong. (News Flash, you're not...)

2. What do you already know?

I want you to write down or think of all the stuff you already know, if you truly do want to research something because it generally confuses you then go ahead. Research and overconsumption are not the same thing, if you need to learn a term or what a self concept is then go to account you can trust and see what they have to say

3.Apply

You’ve probably spent a long time with overconsumption and you probably don’t know what to do  right now. Don’t worry I gotchu <3.

Affirm

To state something as fact (ex. I am filthy rich)

Persist

To repeatedly state your affirmation no matter the difficulty or doubt

Know

Know that you will get your desire no matter what, that the minute you choose something you like it’s now yours forever 

These are the basic things to do when manifesting it’s simple, stop over consuming and start applyinggg please!!!

xoxo, cyra

I think Shiv has the gene from her father in which she doesn't like to lose. She wants to be in the company because of her father's legacy but i think deep down she doesn't like people thinking she can't do it and writing her off as just "the sister"

Shiv has an amazing career OUTSIDE of royco but that's not enough because she wants to win and she wants a seat at the table.

all the roy kids are huge entitled failures and theres obviously the misogyny aspect but shiv being so surprised/pissed at being left out is so funny. girl you know the game stand up! you're the only sibling with even a hint of a career outside the company

post binge clarity hits hard ngl

Started murderbot on the plane today. Let's look back on what I screenshotted and try and remember why

Ok first screenshot. Easy mode. Wanted to pay respects to a polyamorous king and his seven children by various partners

I think here I was going to point out that the prose in this thing is just. Not particularly inspiring. Right now in my post-travel clarity the thing I've read most recently whose prose style lines up with murderbot is the animorphs books. Which is absolutely not an insult because I loved those fucking books, but I don't want books written for adult audiences to remind me of books written for elementary schoolers.

"You may have noticed that when I do manage to care, I'm a pessimist." Ugh. I'm interpreting the style in the most favorable way I can and assuming that we're more or less supposed to view murderbot as having the angsty broody personality of a sulking teen. Taking the prince of darkness out for a walk. And that were not supposed to take it too seriously

I will say I'm kind of disappointed in How human murderbot is. When I heard the premise "killer security robot who goes rogue and binge watches a bunch of tv" this isn't really what I was expecting. Obviously I am just on the first novella but rn murderbot feels indistinguishable from like a loner space merc character. Like as in the This Is A Robot stuff just isn't hitting like I wish it was.

I think it's really not helpful that we aren't introduced to any more "standard" sec units to compare murderbot too. Are they even "standard?" How much personality do secunits typically have? Are permitted to show? Not knowing that makes it impossible as the audience to actually understand what makes our main character an outlier from its peers, which is kind of a critical point of failure for characterization

But at least we know it can /j with the best of them

interlude: fortnite and criminal minds

Y/n and Mark had met the summer before they started college working at the same boba shop down the block from their neighborhood. having no plans before college they became quick friends, spending most days with each other. They spent countless summer nights having sleepovers, binging entire seasons of Criminal Minds, and playing Fortnite until they physically couldn’t keep their eyes open.

Y/n had been pondering the idea of confessing her feelings to Mark for a while. Sure, they were great friends, but friends didn’t look at each other the way they did. Friends didn’t search for each other's eyes while laughing after someone made a joke in a group. Friends didn’t leave lingering touches and fall asleep in each other's arms. Y/n tended to overthink every little interaction, but this time she had outdone herself. She had come to the conclusion that Mark did like her back. And for once, she felt like her delusions might not be so far-fetched.

It was a regular day for Mark and y/n. He was sitting in his bean bag chair, engrossed in fortnite, with y/n perched comfortably across his lap. She had grown unusually quiet, which was strange for her, considering she was usually pointing out things in the game or talking about some crazy shit Jisung had said to her yesterday.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Mark said, nudging her gently.

"Um…" For once in her life, y/n seemed at a loss for words.

"Do you need the brain cell?" Mark smirked at her. This was an inside joke between them, a playful way of offering clarity when one of them was struggling to express themselves.

"Yes, please!" y/n giggled, the tension in her chest loosening slightly.

Mark reached to the side of his head, miming the act of pulling out an invisible brain cell, and placed it into the side of her head. "There you go, it’s yours now," he said with a slight smile.

y/n stayed silent for a moment before blurting out, "You know, Mark, I like you a lot."

"I like you a lot too, idiot. You’re one of the best friends I could ever ask for," he replied, smiling at her before turning his attention back to the game. He seemed to not understand the way y/n meant it, but that didn’t stop her from overthinking.

"Of course he only likes me as a friend. I’m so fucking stupid," she thought to herself. Growing increasingly upset, she shifted positions to sit on his bed instead of the bean bag with Mark. It took a moment for Mark to notice the shift in mood, but when he did, he turned to her and asked, "What’s your deal?" half expecting her to just be scrolling on her phone.

Y/n's eyes flashed with anger and hurt. "Your head is way too big for your body and it makes you look ridiculous and you’ll never be able to fix it," she snapped before storming out of his house.

Mark was left sitting there, controller in hand, staring at the door she had just slammed shut. He felt a mix of confusion and a sting of offense. What had just happened? He replayed the conversation in his mind, but nothing seemed to make sense.

He tried texting her multiple times, each message more desperate than the last. But no matter what he said, y/n never replied. He even went as far as stopping by her house only to be met with a sympathetic look from y/n’s mom, stating she wasn’t home. Days turned into weeks, and Mark was left wondering where he had gone wrong. Summer had slipped away into a moment of time as they both got caught up in their new lives at college, but the unresolved feelings and misunderstandings lingered, a silent echo of what could have been.

My feelings for tom and shiv are soo complicated.

I feel like he does still love her but it's clearly not the same love they once had. I don't think they've been IN love for a long time. I think he clearly is being a social climber and he's praying on her emotional state to make sure he has a seat at the table. I think the number one priority on everyone's mind in this show is security. And in that sense, I think Tom and Greg are made for each other. Even if it's not romantic (I don't think it is or ever will be) their goals are soo like-minded. As can be seen when Greg tried to ally with Marcia by kicking kerry when she was down.

It's about finding a lifeboat for them.

I think shiv should abort and never look back.

i need them to be good to shiv this season

Got inspired by a post I saw this morning so here's literally 2 entire pages of headcanons comparing Infected and Kasper. Fair warning: It dips into talk of symptoms I imagine he'd have and the whole Poptart situation.

[A lot of which assume he'd have like. Actual biological needs instead of being Video Game-y, which seems to be sort of a grey area in-game anyway...]

Kasper was already kind of stupid so honestly not much is different on that front. Average 2010s gamer dudebro sort of deal. Although Infected has a bit more 'what kind of animal is the pink panther?' in him than Kasper.

Infected has next to no impulse control, leading to him doing things he shouldn't and speaking without thinking pretty much constantly.

Infected has balance issues that Kasper didn’t due to inner ear inflammation from the infection. He can’t really do anything on a skateboard anymore besides just stand there or go in a straight line. He can and will find a way to trip on flat ground.

He's convinced he still rules at it, though.

The inflammation has also made his hearing kind of shit. (The only person he can hear with perfect clarity is Folly, as she probably speaks directly into people’s minds or something lol.)

Infected loves soda and drinks basically only that. Boy who was born with kidney stones <3

The neurotoxin in his favorite soda was a deeply unreasonable amount of aspartame (and other chemicals. For fun! <3). Not being able to drink it anymore has somewhat improved his balance issues and memory, but he still misses how it tasted (it probably tasted like what you'd get if you boiled down an entire 2 liter of diet coke until it's barely a liquid then filled an 8 ounce soda can with that. Dude’s tastebuds and liver are Fucked).

Kasper had a fairly similar way of talking to Infected, minus the 1337. ("Sweet parteh trickz dud!11")

Infected is in constant pain. Headaches, body aches, sore throat, can't breathe well, burning skin, heavy eyes, nausea that won't go away, sniffles, random nerve pain, probably other shit. He barely notices it anymore unless someone asks how he's feeling. He doesn't have much energy to spare. He would come across as significantly more hyper/manic than how Kasper used to be if not for this.

He doesn't put any of the energy he has left towards cleaning. Kasper could deal with a little mess, but still picked stuff up when it got ugly. Lampert was also willing to help when he visited. Now Infected is too tired and unfocused to pick anything up most of the time, and Lampert refuses to set foot in the apartment complex until Kasper is better. Infected has started throwing garbage off the balcony when it gets in the way too much. It's kinda fun!

Infected occasionally dissociates. Finds later that he's already talked to someone about something and just repeated himself, bought something already and now he has two, spent hours on his computer without remembering a single thing he looked at, or already met someone he thought he hadn't seen before.

It has actually been explained to Infected before that Kasper is his name. This just started an argument and the topic was dropped forever from that point forward.

Infected is deeply stressed out by seeing his own face for reasons he can't communicate, so he avoids looking at it as much as possible. He used to have a mirror in his apartment but he threw it off the balcony in a fit of rage one night, then covered the blank space where it used to be with a poster. Same thing with ripping Kasper’s face off of the picture on his desk. Any photos of him that are on his PC have either been sent to the recycle bin or cropped so that his face isn’t in them. He's completely fine looking at drawings of himself though. That's definitely him.

When left to his own devices, Infected's diet is… Inconsistent. He will forget to eat for long periods of time then binge when the hunger pangs finally get so annoying that he can't ignore them anymore. He's at least sort of hydrated because there's usually a six pack of soda on his desk or by the couch, but unless someone on the elevator is feeling generous he doesn't remember on his own very often.

Kasper was very comfortable being physically affectionate with people and would be happy to cuddle or lay on a friend's lap if they were cool with that. Infected is even more touchy and would be clingy if he had chances to be, but due to his extremely obvious contagious disease nobody lets him get close. He is incredibly touch-starved and would probably get emotional if someone hugged him or even just sympathetically rubbed his back now.

 Kasper was alright at resisting the urge, but Infected has picked at every scab he's ever gotten, and he ends up with a Lot. He will pick at them until the damage is worse than the initial injury unless someone stops him/tells him to put a bandage over it.

Kasper would bite his nails to keep them short and pick his nose sometimes but Infected's nails are completely trashed. Some of them have scabbed over or still-bleeding cuticles and hangnails because he chews and picks at those too.

All of the contact with his spit has caused his fingernail textures to semi-permanently unload. You'd think they were painted if you didn't know why they looked like that.

Nosebleeds from his nasal cavity getting torn up from all the fussing are not unheard of and yet he's gonna keep doing it.

Constantly drooling when he's not talking. Some of it is post-nasal drip. Sometimes he remembers to wipe it off on his arm, but most of the time it just ends up on the floor/running down his face and soaking into the neckline of his shirt. Or sprayed all over the walls/someone's face when he sneezes.

Kasper used to keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in his pocket to help Lampert feel more comfortable. He stopped doing that forever ago after he got sick. (You know how rabies does a bunch of shit to animals to make them better disease vectors, including to their brains? Yeah, something like that).

On some level he knows he's sick. Would be more stressed out about it but the infection has repressed his ability to care (and the part of him that’s still aware of it is probably also heavily in denial). This has affected other aspects of his emotional range, causing it to come across as unusually flat, especially to those who knew Kasper.

Infected is scared that if he’s taken to a doctor’s office they’ll hurt him, so on top of genuinely not being able to recognize that he's sick he will deny all accusations regardless out of this fear. He’s technically not wrong, since trying to purge the disease to save Kasper would be extremely painful for him, but this thought mostly comes from his illness trying to preserve itself.

The last time someone tried to lead Infected to DrRETRO’s office for an intensive care stay he panicked upon realizing what was going on and fought back until they let him leave (fucked them up pretty badly), so now everyone keeps their distance and kinda uselessly tries to convince him to go voluntarily with their words.

Infected is incapable of maintaining strong negative emotions if pushed into being that upset. He'll be mad or sad for maybe a minute and then something else will get his attention or he’ll get too tired to think and he'll forget whatever was bugging him.

Every so often he will lose hope about finding Poptart and then abruptly ‘reset’ a minute or two into sobbing his eyes out, completely confident that any day now the little guy will come back safe and sound.

Despite this it is still really easy to get him Gamer Raging. Way easier than it ever was with Kasper, who was a pretty good sport in most cases.

Infected's particular brand of Gamer Rage is ‘Heckling people until they shut up/go away’, or until it's out of his system. This is the most typical way he processes anger. The impulse control is Seriously out the window when he gets like this.

Kasper knew a lot of stuff about the games he liked offhandedly (mostly competitive co-op FPS games like counterstrike, tf2, l4d2, etc) and could tell you so much esoteric bullshit about them, but if you tried to ask Infected he would get too excited trying to think of something he could share that would be really cool and then not actually be able to remember anything.

The only context in which Infected's reaction time isn't ass is video games. Something about muscle memory. In any other situations he is usually pretty slow to react. This does not mean he's slow to do things, though. When he's acting on a dumbass impulse thought he's probably halfway done doing it before anyone can stop him.

It is possible to get Infected to acknowledge that his situation is Fucked for a moment or two if you press him on the most obvious evidence that he's sick (his headaches, the fact his allergies haven't cleared up in years, the snot on his face, etc), and if you pressed hard enough you'd start to see him get scared. He knows you're right, but there's nothing he can do about it. And then the recognition would be gone again as soon as you stopped talking.

This doesn't work when you bring up his name (Who's Kasper? Never met the guy.) or objects in his surroundings, only symptoms of illness directly observable on/in his body.

i know i've talked about succession for maybe almost a full 24 hours but LISTEN

Shiv fell and was betrayed by her brothers WHO SHE KNOWS ARE IDIOTS. She has been leading them emotionally and was a key player business-wise this entire time!!

If Shiv was smart and I know she is she would do nothing. She would let them destroy each other because they will. She should say nothing. No advice nothing. Let them fall apart.

But she won't.

[herejusttosufferalong]

Nic and Luke are something else. Never in my 30 years of life and participation in so many types of fandom, did I ever think I would legit ship irl people. Like that has never happened to me. I think the closest I got was with Tom and Zendaya with the initial Spiderman press and lip sync battle. But it was more of like a watch a few interviews and thought oh they would be cute and then went about my life.

The Lukola hold is real. Not them resurrecting my dead inner Tumblr girlie from the grave. So glad I found your blog recently to kinda vent these feelings. I always feel like talking about it on like TikTok,twitter etc, it runs the risk of the shipped parties seeing it and being uncomfy. I feel like with Tumblr one has to really seek it out so it feels a bit like if you're here you really wanted to know lol.

I was such a Bridgerton casual viewer, and Polin and Nic and Luke converted me. I think I was always invested in Pen and Colin from season 1 so maybe that's why season 3 drew me in more. Also prior to Bridgerton I loved Derry girls so I always had a soft spot for Nicola. So after part 1 dropped I was hooked I binged all their PR vids etc and accidentally fell down the Lukola rabbit hole.

The demisexual in me is both jealous and frustrated at them, like what do you mean you found this amazing deep friendship connection and you are doing nothing about it !?!?

I'm sure that this theory has been discussed before but I'm a bit new so not sure.

Pure Speculation Alert!

Part 1

I think they def may have expressed feelings during the filming of season 3. I think it was mutual but also confusing cause Luke was now getting out of a long term relationship and they were also playing characters. I'm not 100% timeline wise but Nic may have also been attached/ getting out of a relationship. Idk if anything physical happened it's possible. I think there may have been kissing. But being the professionals they are I think they agreed to but the feelings on the back burner cause it's not the right time and they could be confusing their characters' emotions with their own. So they decide to table the feelings and let the distance post filming give them space and clarity and allow Luke to heal from his break up properly.

In the off season Luke rebounds with A. It's casual but Nic feels like she gets her answer but also think let's see how the promo tour goes. They regroup on the PR tour and old rhythms fall in to place, feelings are bubbling back up. I think it reaches a fever pitch in Brazil. The atmosphere and alcohol loosen their tongues and they address the elephant in the room. Luke is still with A and probs tells Nic that it's a little bit more than casual but not official official and that he may be confused but wants to give it a shot with A cause she's been like patient (rolls eyes) while he does all this press and he also feels a little guilty being so flirty with Nic. They kind of hash it out but agree to be friends. But they are a bit shaky cause they're in a weird place.

What made you choose Minji for your longest running series? Were there any particular character traits that made her particularly suited for such an extended commitment?

If you were to start another multi-part series, which idol do you think you would choose?

Much love, congrats on 1,500 followers!

Hello msafterhours! Thank you for the kind words :] Ended up yapping a lot, so I'll leave a read more line :]

I was messing around with a Minji chatbot for Horny™️ reasons, but then post nut clarity hit and I was like "Hmm, what would happen if I did this normally without the horny?" The "opening scene" of the chatbot was you entering the detention room (why you're going to detention is for you to decide) where you find student council president Minji watching over the room. I gave my character a name (Yuno Lin came from what my brain fills in whenever I see Y/n L/n in these chatbots), created a little backstory, bada bing bada boom, Unlikely Duet was born :] I never planned on becoming a writer in this community, but the urge to write out the story that I had started in that chatbot was too strong.

The personality of the Minji chatbot is pretty simple, but it was a good starting off point for me to develop her character in the direction I wanted. Rather than any particular character traits, it was the dynamic I created between the characters in the chatbot that drove me to write the story, Minji just so happened to be the name and face attached to it. I'm not complaining tho, she's very cute and has such a lovely personality irl :>

I actually was in the process of creating another multi-part series, but decided to shelve it for now since I don't want to split my attention between two series at the same time (I already take so long in between releases :,> ). Chuu and Lily were the two idols that I chose since they seemed to fit the characters I wanted to include, but I only really developed Chuu's character so far. It's a shame that I had to put it on hold, I really liked how Chuu's character turned out and the scenes I had planned for her would've been really fun to write :]

[platinum-iridium]

loved the x files. wasn't always good but when it was good it was great. i'm tempted to immediately revisit some episodes but i'm gonna let it marinate before i go back. i absolutely loved the first season even though some of it was clunky, they hadn't found their rhythm or their formula yet and that was to their credit imo. seemed they just asked themselves how can we unsettle the audience this week, and went for it.

its biggest weakness is how it handles rape and it's not particularly close. they never really manage to reckon with the gravity of sexual assaults and near misses and in the case of post-modern prometheus a serial rapist is meant to be a sympathetic character. that's the most egregious but even all of scully's experiences culminating in potentially having been secretly inseminated (at best, raped at worst) by the cigarette smoking man is treated as nothing more than a footnote. reeks of male writing.

i actually didn't mind the messiness of mytharc that much. i think it could have been done better but i think the lack of clarity is kind of the point. the search for truth isn't going to end because we still don't know wtf is going on. and if you saw elements of mytharc that contradict, no you didn't <3

i can only imagine how painful watching the main characters dynamic was when the show was on the air lmao. but binging it like i did i didn't really mind the slow build. yes i complained but i was having fun lol. the only time i cared was when it was stretching credulity. because what do you mean you're platonically having a child. other than that though i thoroughly enjoyed it. because that period when you both know wtf is up but you haven't taken that step is the most fun part to me and that's like 3/4 of the show

i'm not mad at the revivals bc they were limited series but imo the episodes should have been more heat since there were so few episodes. glad they killed that man off. makes no sense for my girl to be preggo. i've seen things about a reboot with a new cast - they need to let the series rest.

So, whenever I play Yo-Kai Watch 3, and get to the point where I befriend Komasan, I nearly always try using him on my team, due to him, in the chapter you befriend him in, saying he wants to be strong so Nate'll summon him more, which is why I kept him on the front row of my team for a long time. Heck, even battled the Onis in the game with him! Even got the little dude to Level 99. Went through the Bada-Bing Tower with him and fought Narwil/Whaleman, while under-leveled, with him as well! And eventually, I evolved him, but went through post-evolving-mascot-monster-clarity, but later on, I did get another Komasan via Blasters T, and I leveled THAT one up to 99 and essentially did the same thing I did with the story-befriendable Komasan, with me having a headcanon of that Komasan wanting to be summoned more like the story-befriended one.
