I am HERE for the fact that there is a canonical lesbian in Mistborn era 2.
I am shocked nobody has written smutty fanfiction for her yet! (Tbh. I think the Mistborn demographic just isn’t the “I write smutty fanfic” demographic).
Tbh. I am enjoying those audiobooks way too much, especially the female characters. I disagree with some of the takes, especially Waxillium

Jesus was perfect and people still hated Him. Stop caring so much about what people think of you.

Jesus still loves you when you don't understand what He's doing, when you're tired of waiting, if you struggle with your mental health, if you haven't spent time with Him today, if you struggle to love yourself even if you have nothing left to give. He still loves you.

Give it to God and Go to Sleep
Tumblr media
After many nights of terrible sleep with a million and one nightmares (a slight exaggeration), I was exhausted in church and absolutely desperate for a solution to my sleeping problems.
I confided in one of my friends. I told her I was struggling with bad dreams and restless nights, and she shared a few important Bible verses that she repeats before she goes to sleep:
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” - Psalm 4:8
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me.” - John 14:1
‭‭ “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” - Hebrews 4:16
‭‭ “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” - Colossians 3:15
‭‭ “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” - Isaiah 26:3
I’ve made it a habit of mine to repeat them myself when I lay down in bed, and I’ve found the bad dreams are becoming less frequent and I’m finally getting some rest.
To put it quite simply, I’ve learned the importance of giving it to God and going to sleep. Whatever is troubling me, I trust Him to help me through. He hasn’t led me wrong before, and He never will. Whether my worries are the size of an acorn, or the size of a great oak tree, I trust my problems to Him and He will help me through them whilst I’m too weary to manage myself.

Happy tdov to fat trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️ Biggest thing that helped me as a trans kid was seeing older fat trans people. There were a lot of really irritating "advice" posts going around early in my time on the internet with a lot of misinformation in them, but one that I constantly saw (in addition to people claiming you should wear your pants rediculously low or only wear button ups) were posts saying you had to lose weight to transition. Can confidently confirm that is completely untrue. 👍

[live reading blog] My feelings about the second mistborn book this far: (20%-ish)
Can I slap Elend? Boy. You became king in the last book. And now you are too much of a quirky academic to do politics in real life.
My gods!
If you are that incompetent, please AT LEAST throw a ball, Vin should be at the club, really, I think Vin would like to be at the club. If you’re not efficient at your job than let us have fun!
(Can you tell I am not an Elend Fan?)

PAC: All about your past life
TIP JAR - FREE READINGS - PAID READINGS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1.2.3
4.5.6
Tongues of the past whisper secrets of what’s to come.
Each group reveals one of your many lives, the posible effects on your present self, and a message from your past to guide your journey.
Breathe deeply, trust your intuition, and select the group that calls to you.
Group 1
Who you were:
In a past life, you were someone in a position of significant authority, possibly a ruler, leader, or influential figure. This was a life of immense responsibility, but also of imbalance and misuse of power. You might have been a male figure—someone admired for their strength but also feared for their rigidity. Despite your outward success, there was a lack of harmony in your reign. Personal ambition often overrode empathy, and material wealth became a focal point of your existence. This fixation on control created tension among those around you, especially as your leadership style leaned heavily on domination rather than collaboration.
Your world was one of cycles—times of prosperity followed by periods of stagnation or conflict. This instability suggests that, while you sought greatness, you neglected the emotional and spiritual foundations necessary to sustain your achievements. People admired your strength but questioned your methods, creating a rift between your external accomplishments and internal fulfillment. It’s possible that you were betrayed by close allies or left isolated by your own actions.
How it affects you now:
This past life has left an imprint on your present in subtle yet profound ways. You might find yourself struggling to balance ambition with emotional connection. While you are deeply sensitive and emotionally intelligent, expressing those emotions can feel vulnerable or even risky. You may also feel that you must constantly defend yourself or prove your worth, as if echoes of past conflicts still linger.
Creative and emotional blocks can manifest as frustration or a lack of direction. Perhaps you have many ideas or passions but struggle to bring them to fruition. Relationships might feel uneven, with you giving more than you receive, or vice versa, echoing the imbalances of your leadership in that past life.
On the positive side, this life has gifted you with resilience and the ability to navigate challenges with grace. You have the potential to lead with empathy and create harmony where there once was discord. These strengths emerge when you embrace vulnerability and trust in the support of others.
Message from your past self:
Release the need to control everything around you. True leadership lies in collaboration and trust, not domination. Open your heart to the cycles of life, understanding that every ending is also a new beginning. Your destiny is not bound by past mistakes; it is shaped by your willingness to learn and grow.
Astro Influences:
I feel this group resonates strongly with the energies of capricorn, pisces, and leo. The presence of these signs suggests themes of ambition, spiritual growth, and creative self-expression. The influence of the 10th house highlights your focus on legacy and responsibility, while the 12th house points to deep spiritual lessons tied to your inner world.
Group 2
Who you were:
In this past life, you lived in an environment steeped in mysticism and secrecy, possibly as someone connected to spiritual practices or esoteric knowledge. You may have been a woman, a healer, or a guide, but your talents and intuition were either misunderstood or manipulated. This life was marked by internal conflict and external challenges, as your wisdom often clashed with societal norms or personal fears.
You held immense power within you, but it often felt inaccessible or suppressed. Perhaps you doubted your abilities, or others undermined your confidence, leading to moments of isolation. A sense of unfulfilled potential lingers from this life, as though you were always on the brink of greatness but unable to fully manifest it. The reversed high priestess and queen of wands suggest that you may have been betrayed by someone close, possibly another figure of authority or influence.
Despite these struggles, your creativity and passion burned brightly. You were deeply connected to the cycles of life, finding beauty in both creation and destruction. However, there was an underlying lesson you were unable to grasp fully in that life—how to balance personal empowerment with trust in others.
How it affects you now:
This life’s influence may manifest as moments of self-doubt or hesitancy to step into your power. You might feel as though your voice is unheard or that your talents go unrecognized. Trust issues, especially with authority figures or peers, could stem from betrayals in that past life. There may also be an inclination to downplay your worth, fearing judgment or rejection.
Emotionally, this past life may lead you to question the intentions of those around you, leaving you guarded or hesitant to form deep connections. On the positive side, this life has gifted you with heightened intuition and creativity, allowing you to see possibilities where others see obstacles. You have a natural ability to transform pain into art or beauty, but it requires a conscious effort to embrace your inner power fully.
Message from your past self:
Do not hide your light out of fear. The world needs your unique perspective and gifts, even if they challenge the status quo. Trust in your intuition—it has been your guide through lifetimes. Let go of past wounds, for they no longer define you. Step into your power and allow yourself to shine without restraint.
Astro Influences:
This group has the energies of scorpio, sagittarius, and the 8th house, representing transformation, hidden knowledge, and personal power. The reversed cards suggest lessons related to chiron, the wounded healer, and neptune, symbolizing intuition and illusion.
Group 3
Who you were:
In this past life, you were someone deeply connected to structure and order, likely a figure of significant influence. The judgment card suggests a life of awakening and responsibility, where you were tasked with bringing clarity or justice to others. You were likely a man—someone who balanced the weight of leadership with personal growth. However, this life was not without its struggles. The emperor shows your strength and determination, but the reversed 7 of cups and 10 of wands point to moments of confusion and overwhelm.
Your story speaks of a person torn between duty and desire. You held a clear vision for the future but often felt burdened by the expectations of others. Despite this, you created stability and inspired those around you, even if it came at a personal cost. This lifetime taught you the value of perseverance, even in the face of adversity, but also left behind a sense of longing for personal freedom.
How It affects you now:
The connection between the emperor in your past and the empress in your present is significant. In this life, you are learning to balance masculine and feminine energies, merging structure with creativity and action with receptivity. You may feel a pull toward leadership or responsibility but struggle to balance these roles with your personal needs.
This past life has gifted you with resilience and a strong sense of purpose, but it also brings challenges. You might feel the weight of others’ expectations or struggle to prioritize your own desires. There is a tendency to overwork or take on too much, mirroring the burdens of your past. However, the lessons of this life also offer immense growth, teaching you to trust in collaboration and embrace the support of others.
Message from your past self:
Embrace the balance within you. Allow yourself to lead with compassion and create with structure. You are not alone in your journey—let others share the weight of your dreams. Trust in the power of collaboration, for it is through unity that true greatness is achieved.
Astro Influences:
This group probably resonates with aries, taurus, and libra, highlighting themes of leadership, creativity, and partnership. The presence of the 4th and 10th houses emphasizes the importance of balancing personal and professional life.
Group 4
Who you were:
In this past life, you were a dreamer and a wanderer, someone who sought meaning and beauty in the world around you. You may have been an artist, poet, or philosopher, living a life filled with creativity but often marked by solitude. The reversed star card indicates that while you had immense talent and vision, you struggled with self-doubt and a fear of failure. The presence of the reversed 5 of pentacles suggests a life where material struggles or societal rejection shaped your path.
This was a life where you yearned for connection but found it difficult to sustain. You were deeply sensitive to the world’s beauty and pain, often channeling your emotions into your work. However, this sensitivity also made you vulnerable to criticism, leading to periods of isolation or withdrawal. Despite these challenges, your legacy lived on through your creations, inspiring others long after your time.
How it affects you now:
This life’s influence may manifest as a deep connection to creativity and the arts, paired with occasional feelings of inadequacy or fear of rejection. You might feel drawn to express yourself through writing, music, or visual art, but hesitate to share your work with others. There may also be moments of loneliness or a sense of being misunderstood, echoing the isolation of your past.
On the positive side, this life has gifted you with a profound ability to see beauty in the ordinary and transform pain into something meaningful. Your sensitivity is both your greatest strength and your greatest challenge, requiring you to find balance between openness and self-protection.
Message from your past self:
Do not let fear hold you back from sharing your gifts with the world. Your creativity is a light that can guide others through their own darkness. Trust in your unique perspective, and know that your vulnerability is a source of strength. You are never truly alone—your work connects you to something greater.
Astro Influences:
This group is tied to aquarius, pisces, and the 11th house, emphasizing themes of creativity, connection, and higher vision. The reversed cards suggest lessons involving neptune and saturn, teaching you to balance dreams with practicality.
Group 5
Who you were:
In this past life, you were a protector and nurturer, someone who dedicated your life to caring for others. The queen of pentacles and the reversed 3 of swords suggest that you were a healer, caretaker, or guardian, possibly a mother figure or someone in a community role. You lived a life of service, often placing others’ needs above your own. While this brought you immense fulfillment, it also came with sacrifice and heartbreak.
You were deeply connected to the earth and its cycles, finding peace and purpose in nature. However, the reversed cards indicate that this life was not without loss. Perhaps you experienced the death of loved ones or struggled with unrequited love, leaving an emotional wound that lingered beyond that lifetime. Despite these hardships, your legacy was one of love and resilience, as you touched countless lives through your kindness and strength.
How it affects you now:
This life has left an imprint on your soul, gifting you with a natural ability to nurture and support others. However, it may also manifest as a tendency to overextend yourself or neglect your own needs. You might feel a strong connection to nature or animals, finding solace in their presence. Relationships may carry echoes of past heartbreak, leading to fears of loss or rejection.
On the positive side, this life has blessed you with a deep well of compassion and strength. You have the ability to create a sense of home and belonging wherever you go, bringing comfort to those around you. Your challenge in this life is to balance giving with receiving, ensuring that your own needs are met.
Message from your past self:
Your capacity to love is immense, but do not forget to love yourself. You are worthy of the care and kindness you so freely give to others. Trust in the healing power of time, and know that your sacrifices have not been in vain. Embrace the beauty of the present and allow yourself to receive the love you deserve.
Astro Influences:
This group might resonate with taurus, virgo, and cancer, highlighting themes of nurturing, stability, and emotional depth. The presence of the 2nd and 6th houses suggests lessons related to self-worth and service.
Group 6
Who you were:
In this past life, you were a warrior or adventurer, someone who thrived on challenge and exploration. The knight of wands and the reversed tower card suggest a life of action, passion, and transformation. You were a bold and fearless individual, unafraid to take risks and face the unknown. However, this life was also marked by upheaval and conflict, as your pursuit of adventure often brought you into dangerous situations.
You were likely someone who lived for the moment, valuing freedom above all else. This independent spirit made you a natural leader, inspiring others with your courage and determination. However, the reversed tower indicates that this life was not without consequences. Your impulsive nature may have led to moments of loss or regret, teaching you hard lessons about balance and restraint.
How it affects you now:
This past life’s influence may manifest as a restless energy or a desire for constant change. You might feel drawn to adventure or travel, seeking new experiences to satisfy an inner longing for freedom. However, there may also be a tendency to act impulsively or avoid commitment, echoing the challenges of your past.
On the positive side, this life has gifted you with courage, resilience, and a zest for life. You have the ability to inspire others and lead with confidence, but it requires you to channel your energy wisely. Learning to balance spontaneity with stability is a key lesson in this life.
Message from your past self:
Embrace your adventurous spirit, but do not fear stillness. There is strength in patience and wisdom in reflection. Trust in your ability to overcome any challenge, and remember that true freedom comes from within. You are capable of creating a life that balances passion with purpose.
Astro Influences:
This group seems tied to sagittarius, aries, and the 9th house, emphasizing themes of adventure, exploration, and personal growth. The reversed cards suggest lessons related to mars and uranus, teaching you to harness your energy constructively.
