maybe this is gonna sound weird, but that fucking dog in Castlevania Nocturne season 2 makes me upset.

Maria's summons in the games are the Four Symbols, deities from Chinese folklore. For no clearly explained reason, they are just very fond of Maria and always hanging around to guide and guard her. To copy the White Tiger's description from one game: "Guardian in a country to the East. Conjured himself into a more portable form in order to ride on Maria's shoulder."

So it's very weird and - although perhaps I'm just oversensitive to perceived slights against Asian people, being a half-Japanese person living in a white majority country - frankly comes uncomfortably close to being just a little bit prejudiced that in the show they are just otherworldly animals that Maria summons from... somewhere. They are so much just a bunch of otherworldly animals, in fact, that there aren't even just the four of them. Maria can just summon up some fucking random dog. In an adaptation that is quite strongly concerned with gods, their histories, and their natures it seems quite odd that it is mostly only concerned with Sekhmet, Ogun, and the God of Bethel, and does not spare any consideration for the Four Symbols who are literally right there. It - and again, my own biases my be making me excessively prickly about this - feels like someone, I suppose the writers, were so incurious about Asian religion that they did not even bother to learn about material they were handed on a silver platter. I mean, it's not like I'm well-versed in the material either - I'm usually more concerned with Shintoism - but I can clearly see that there is something to pursue!

Now, it occurred to me that Sekhmet's comment about the old gods being misused by their followers might be a hidden jab at Maria's use of corrupted incarnations of her summons, indicating that they are the Four Symbols after all.

But if that's the case then what's with the fucking dog!?

It is a mixed bag when it's my birthday and I'm one year closer to hitting 30... lord. I mean, I'm happy and all but eh.

Anyway, inbox time while in bed and until I fall asleep.

im trying and struggling to figure out an actual color palette for Lightspun that i like. the first two images are a first attempt (2nd image is without the silly effects). the third image is probably what I'll go with. he can change color now :]

Edit: maybe teal and purple palette... with gold accents... that would look very cool

Hottest Stand Battle - First Round Match 5

Stand abilities under the cut:

Enigma: Enigma is able to transform objects and people, including the user, into pieces of paper. For simple objects and animals, Enigma can simply apply its ability. However, to trap a person in paper, the user must discover the habits the target displays when afraid.

Limp Bizkit: It is a pure ability Stand that allows Sports Maxx to turn deceased corpses into invisible zombies, including his own; in addition to reanimating partial dead remains.

i had a really weird alcohol-induced dream last night where mariah started to protest npmd and was apologizing to the fans for “not seeing how problematic it was sooner” and “we should not be sexualizing teenagers” and it made me so annoyed

Summoning Animal Options

Me, finally announcing the possible summoning animals mc can choose from? Crazy!

As a real quick reminder! I will release things for this if slowly sometimes, I want to take my time and have fun with it ^_^

Okay so! Info! Summoning animals will be an option in Mata Aetara. However, not until a later part. I haven't decided how much later, but it won't be at the beginning when mc is 13/14. (Most likely I'll add it when mc is around 17). To acquire a summoning animal, in general, mc will need to make a blood contract with the animal/group of animals. Every contract varies in some degree witch will go more in depth in the actual if. I plan on having mc acquire their summoning animal an actual mission (traveling to a location, befriending/gaining respect of animal, making contract).

Any information about the animals below may change later but as of right now I think I like what I have in mind for them!

Oh yeah you’ve heard of ‘rambling about wildflowers so much during thanksgiving that my dads side of the family thinks I should start selling wildflowers’

Now get ready for

‘Rambling about vegetable and flower gardening so much over breakfast that my mom’s childhood friend thinks I should start selling at farmers markets’

One thing that I will say about me potentially bringing beej back (she says as she fills her drafts with posts about him) is the dynamic has to shift DRASTICALLY for it to work with the way I am now vs the way I was when I was obsessed with him

I was drawn to him because I had a desperate need to BE needed and his pathetic clinginess fit the bill, among other things like relating to his mother issues 😂 but im a healthier person now overall! And tbh I've never been happier in my life, with my partner, with everything 💖💖 I think in order for it to work he ALSO needs to improve and strive to be better and happier and idk...maybe that's beautiful!

I'm thinking maybe it's more of a slow burn because he really needs to learn how to be a FRIEND first before he can be in a healthy romantic relationship. So I'm imagining after he's had some time to reflect on his mistakes from the musical he ends up in me and my partner's house and we just...hang! We play games and watch movies and fuck around and he has a silly rivalry with my partner and he's given the opportunity to just BE happier and eventually down the line it just becomes something a little more ☺️
