#self aware bosses ♥️

[onestepbackwards]

howdy! "self aware pkmn masters ex team leaders" gal here, and i just wanted to say that i LOVED your additions to my post! i actually came up with a few of my own in the meantime, and i just wanted to share with ya (not a request, dw):

Ghetsis: after Old Man Plasma is done "rebelling" against your control, you start noticing that he grows.. more attached, in a way. he greets you more whenever you log into the game, and gives you a lecture on "leaving him hanging dry" if you don't log in for some time, whether it being real life stuff and whatnot. he DOES see you as some "deity" in a way, but he cannot afford the disapproval that you might give him if you don't like his offerings for you. what if you end up dropping him from your team entirely? what if you kick him from the trainer lodge? what if you forced him to fight alongside N???? oh, the pain and humiliation! and while he DOES see you as a fitting ruler for Team Plasma, he also unfortunately knows that you don't trust him for shit. and he DOES 'attempt' to be honest and not manipulative for once, but the app's code is holding him by the collar. but becoming plasma's ruler is a standing invitation, so he'll wait as long as he wants.

Giovanni: ah, gio. good ol Mr. "My Entire Team Dies To Grass And Water And Ice". he strangely became more lax and laid back after discovering his self awareness, and he grew more attached to you; mainly because you're the only person who seems to know about him more than he does about himself. oh, you just so happened to mention silver one time? well, now you got giovanni wondering if he can repair his doomed-from-the-start relationship with his son. but his interest peaks when you mention the pokemon anime, and like the Cunning Narcissistic Old Man he is, he wonders how HE is portrayed. luckily, he wasn't butchered too hard. but when you bring up jessie, james, and meowth? boy, he goes into total Angy mode. he rants about how incompetent they are, and how he allowed them to even be in the team to begin with. and he DOES get in character, which is a bit surprising for someone who just discovered his existence is a sham. and expect him to refer to himself as "Vanni" or "Gio", since he heard you call him that when you first got him and it just sorta stuck, yknow?

Maxie & Archie: just as before, Mr. Magma Man and Mr. Sea Pirate remained the same, but expect to see yourself get pulled into their dumb debates and arguments now that they consider you close enough to be a Team Magma/Aqua admin. you can just log in once and maxie will greet you at the pokecenter and be like "ah, (player). i need your opinion on something. you see, archie said that kyogre is the best legendary, but i beg to differ. im asking you because you are the only smart person i can rely on around here.." or archie just going on a 15 minute rant to you about how groudon sucks dookie and that maxie is a man child (they're still besties, dw) that needs to study the SEAS and not (in his words) "STUPID ITTY BITTY ROCKS". you're practically their closest thing to a friend, and that says a lot.

Cyrus: he gets quite curious about your world. you tell him about all the little things, from the blooming of flowers to space discoveries, and he feels like his third, nonexistent eye has been opened. he was already so focused on destroying a universe and creating one dull of emotions that he forgot to see the REAL beauty of what lies beyond. while he physically can't use palkia or dialga to do what he wanted in platinum, expect to see him go full fanboy mode over your world, your town, anything surrounding you. its almost adorable, even when he just has a -_- face the entire time. if he could be more expressive, you bet your ass he would be smiling rainbows at that point.

🥺🥺😭

These are so good

They all grow somewhat attached to you. You are the small bit of sanity they can grasp onto nowadays. Hearing you lets them relax.

Meanwhile, you get to learn about their lives, how Pasio is doing.

It’s strange. When you are offline, theres so much going ok, yet not at all. Not enough for anything major, but enough for it to seem like the place must be alive when you aren’t looking.

Even the bosses have recognized this. How odd it is.

They all grow so attached. If you end up not logging in for a while, you even start getting notifications from the app.

‘Are you there?’

‘Are you alright?’

‘What happened?’

Much to your surprise, they found out how to communicate through your notifications. They often fight who gets to even do so.

Most of them would never admit they are attached, but they all grow concerned regardless.

Archie and Maxie would probably be the only ones to openly admit they were worried. They definitely see you more as a friend, not just a potentially god like entity.

❤️‍🔥♥️ LESSONS I NEEDED TO LEARN IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND SHIFTING ♥️❤️‍🔥

Hi, Hello, it’s your favourite shifting blogger Evie again, and I have stuff to tell you 🫂♥️

Here‘s the situation for people who aren’t aware of what I have been up to: My blog has been dead for a quite long amount of time, because I am in university now and I basically decided to focus on the life in this reality for a while instead of my desired one. University can be quite stressful, too which is why I haven’t even been able to think about shifting, so that it eventually lost importance in my life. I wanna be clear that I have not given up on it or that I don’t want to shift anymore, it just wasn’t a priority for the first time in my life since like April.

1️⃣ You always get what you want.

I know I have been preaching this quite often on here, but ever since I haven’t been forcing myself to shift anymore this became very apparent to me. I noticed that if I had a desire, even if I didn’t make it a dominant thought in my head, that it showed up manifesting in my reality no matter what because I was desiring it and I always get what I want. For example: I met a guy here in Uni and we are in a friendgroup. I am not romantically interested in him, but I kinda wanted him to admit that I was his favourite friend out of the group. I tried to manifest him to say these exact words, but instead a situation arose in which he expressed the same message in a different way, that made me realize that his way of wording that same context made me way more content with the situation. Even if I wasn’t trying to make him say what he ended up saying, he said what I didn’t even know I wanted, but I did. I got what I wanted. He never said „you are my favorite“ but instead he said what my true desire actually was. This was a very important thing for me to learn. I needed to be reminded of the fact that I never fail to get my desires met. Even if shifting is one of them. If I want to shift, I will because I always get what I want.

2️⃣ let go

Manifestations come when you let them manifest. Jello only sets hard when you stop wiggling it around. That’s the idea. My desires manifested after I mentioned that I wanted them to myself once. That’s because if you keep telling yourself „why don‘t I have my desire yet“ you are actively living in a reality where your desire isn’t yours. We all knew this fact and it’s nothing new, but right here where I am, the place where I don‘t really have the ability to even think about something else than my studies, my manifestations came the quickest. I am not dwelling in the old story, I am not asking myself where my desires are and I am literally just desiring shit for a minute and it comes flying at me because I even forget I am desiring that stuff. I needed to be reminded that obsessing with your manifestations isn’t what is going to get them faster to you. I needed to be reminded about the fact that the more time I spend in the state of hoping the longer things will take to manifest.

3️⃣ a simple decision is a manifestation

My favorite way of manifesting is deciding. I‘m honest: I love it. I sit in class and I‘m thinking „wouldn’t it be nice to have xyz right now?“ then I remember that I am a fucking boss at manifestation and I go „okay so it’s decided, xyz is mine.“ and that’s how I go about my day. When I catch myself thinking „oh wait I don‘t have xyz“ I always remind my self „oh no wait I‘m silly, I manifested it a minute ago! Stupid me“ and I don‘t mean that in a panicking or self-controlling manner. I know people love to preach about mental diet on here but this always sounds so harsh to me. I literally take it the most lazy and chill way possible. I decide I want something, I decide it’s mine and after that I treat it like it’s mine. Even if you can’t see it in the 3D reality yet, manifestations aren’t little magic spells that might work or might not. They always work 100% so if you just stay consistent with it it always appears. I can’t tell you how many packages have arrived at ridiculous paces to me because I decided I wanted a certain dress to be here on a very specific day. Shipping usually takes 10 days? Not with me, my shit comes in three days because that when I want it here. I decide that I will be able to wear my dress the day I want to, so yes the dress arrives on time, because I say so.

4️⃣ you‘re literally doing it all by yourself

People who are just starting out to manifest and shift are often under the impression that when you‘re manifesting you are requesting something specific from a certain type of outer force. Like you are placing an order with a sketchy website that might or might not deliver your order because it’s that cheap and unusual. I have been reading it and saying it to my own followers all of the time that „you are giving your desires to yourself“ and that „you are shifting yourself left and right and not some outer energy“. But only like two days ago it actually hit me. Everything IS me. You get your desires because you are giving them to yourself, you just have to decide. You get what you want because you obviously know that you want it. That’s exactly why the laws never fail because you obviously won’t cheat yourself. That’s exactly why the laws can’t work against you, because the only energy that has the ability to change and decide shit is you. Why would you ever work against you? That doesn’t even make sense! When you are doubting shifting you are basically ordering yourself not to do it. BECAUSE ITS ALL YOU. But like it’s LITERALLY ONLY YOU. No god, no ominous universe, no power above you. NONE. It’s you or nothing. You literally want to shift yourself, but your doubts are basically you standing in your own way. There is nothing that has to approve your desires other than you. Your subconscious is you. Think of yourself like a sugar daddy. Your consciousness is a sugar baby who really loves nice shiny things and your subconscious is the sugar daddy with all the money that he wants to spend as much as he possibly can. When the sugar Baby asks the sugar daddy for nice shoes he buys them for her. When the sugar baby wants a new lambo he will buy it for her. And when she requests a whole ducking country he will buy it for her. And bestie when you are your own sugar daddy how the fuck can you not get what you request hm? Exactly! You are the sugar baby AND daddy. You are giving everything to yourself constantly. YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER WITH YOURSELF, HOW CAN YOU NOT GET IT?It’s never something else.

So here we are. Evies realizations after I spent time away from obsessing with shifting and manifestations. I don‘t remember who told me that, but since everything is you, you can always find the answers to spiritual questions within yourself. After these 3 weeks of distance I finally figured out how I (and I mean I as in particularly me, because for you shifting and manifestation can work vastly differently) need to approach shifting and manifestation. Spirituality is very very individual. Don‘t force other peoples mindsets on yourself, don‘t apply a mindset you do not resonate with and don‘t take every shifters advice at face value. Different things work in different people. The real answers to all of your questions are within yourself not on tumblr, not on amino and definitely not on tiktok.

I Hope I was able to help you guys today and I really really hope you guys have amazing holidays ❤️❤️❤️

Thank all of you for 700 followers while I am at it! I appreciate every single follower who decided that my content is worth staying for and worth paying attention to. I couldn’t be more thankful for my blog, there is absolutely nothing that fulfills me as much as helping people. Thank you for being my platform and thank you for being a key aspect to my passion. ♥️❤️‍🔥🫂

Yours in every reality,

Evie <3

Rin's brother has always been the biggest constant in her life, the first time that she was away from him was when she moved to Korea to be an idol. He is the calm to her chaos, her voice of reason ever since she was young always making sure she didn't take any rash decisions.

Rin's parents adopted him on a family trip to china when Rin was barely a year old after doing some medical tests and such it was found that Longyu was two years old which made him a year older to Rin. Longyu has always been a calm person preferring to stay quietly at home and read books and talk with his mom rather than go out but he'd often go and hangout with Rin's friends to 'chaperone' and make sure she stays safe. He is a very collected and level-headed person with Rin being the only one who can actually test his limits.

Pets -`♡´-

name — XueXue

╰ about ↴

Her name is just the chinese word for snow repeated twice to make it sound very cutesy

Xuexue is a pure white persian cat

XueXue is one of the more recent adoptions to the family. Rin's dad bought her home from the shelter after she refused to even be looked at by someone else often hissing at people wanting to adopt her.

XueXue is a princess to put it simply she is very much spoilt and she adores it. She has her own closet and picks her own accesories of the day!!!

2. name — Spiky

╰ about ↴

His name is pretty self explanatory. He has spikes so he's named spiky

Spiky was found on the roadside under heavy rain one time when Rin's dad was on his way home from work so he picked the little hedgehog up and decided to care for him.

Spiky is a solitary animal preferring to spend time in hos cage or walk alone in the garden although he loves bath time and has shown to get extremely excited during that time playing around in the water even accepting pets and cuddles

3. name — Xun

╰ about ↴

His name means 'dusk' in chinese referring to his mix of dark and light fur

Xun is a pekingese dog which is a breed native to china

Xun along with his mother and siblings was rescued by Rin's father from a breeder. Xun's mother sadly passed away from the extensive stress of the breeding corporation. Rin's father decided to adopt Xun after all of his siblings had been adopted by various people.

Xun has a constant case of the zoomies always running around and wanting to play and have fun, constantly barking to draw attention. running up and down the stairs even occasionally tripping people or breaking artifacts. But it's all okay cause he's a cutie.

NewYork

╰ about ↴

Rin tells people that they were named after coco chanel and celine dion but really coco was named after chocolate and cece was named after cece from shake it up...

coco and cece are two chinchillas. Rin adopted them in the year 2013 from a friend who was moving to Australia since they're illegal in Australia.

coco is the one with darker fur while cece has lighter fur

personality wise the two differ greatly coco is pretty playful and loves interacting with the other pets or people who come and go into the house where as cece has a specific list who are allowed to touch her.

3. name — Thirio

╰ about ↴

His name means 'beast' in greek. He was named by Rin's brother who was obssesed with dinosaurs and wanted to give him a dinosaur-ish name.

Thirio is a leopard gecko

Thirio was adopted from a pet shelter only sometime after coco and cece were adopted since he was the closest Longyu could get to a real life dinosaur.

very much unlike the meaning of his name Thirio is a very silly guy and loves to make funny faces. The only beastly thing he does is eat the way he eats.

Hi, it’s me ♥️,

Thank you so much for the reading! It resonated with me a lot, and many of the things you mentioned were on my mind. I had to reflect on it for a few days, but when I first read through it, I couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear. I was like dang they read me good. It provided a much-needed reality check for me. ♥️

I’m ready to close this chapter in my life and move forward. I’m trying to find a balance between my career, personal life, and love.

I’ve set a lot of goals for myself, but one question that kept popping up in my mind is, “Who am I?” It didn’t fully register in my brain until I read your reading, and I think that’s the core of my current problem – understanding myself.

I’m also afraid of getting hurt again, especially in my career. I love my career, but it’s been really tough since January and even before that. I’ve been worried and overthinking if it’s the right path for me or if I’m good enough, especially with my whole industry experiencing mass layoffs. Your advice mirrors what my old boss said: give it some time, take on a few more jobs, and if I still don’t like it, explore other options. Because I know deep down I am very good at my career and I do belong.

And I haven’t met that person yet, but before I was thinking of reaching out to people whose careers I admired and asking how they got there. But I will be mindful, there’s a lot of shady people doing things in the job market because they’re laying off so many and job insecurity.

I still have some soul searching / reflecting to do, and I had a long conversation with someone I trust. But I’m feeling much better now and have a clearer sense of my direction.

But thank you again for this reading and I’m beyond grateful. Have a wonderful week week.

♥️

Welcome back ♥️ and thank you so much for taking the time to write this incredibly thoughtful review! 🙏✨ Im so glad that it brought you a smile, and I was smiling right there along. 💜 I'm relieved to hear that there are people around you that you can trust and you felt ready to talk to them. I think you must be really good at what you do, and you should believe more in yourself that you have the rightful footing. At the same time, I don't think your worries are unfounded and a little something on the side doesn't hurt. These can both coexist, and at the end of the day I think your old boss was giving you the right advice. Most importantly: it doesn't matter how good you are at this job, you don't have to put all of your self worth in it. Some people go through some really drastic career changes in their lives and it's not at all uncommon. Whatever you will choose to do next, I'm sure you will also excel at, and you can find your self worth in it again.

You know the thing about tarot is that it talks in narrative and archetypes. So whether this is referring to a particular person or more like a personification of a type of person that you meet, is hard to tell but they are probably going to be a character in your story one day or the other, so it's good to be aware.

Good luck with both your self discovery and your career! 💜 And, I was just about to say I hope to see you soon but actually I know I will see you very soon because I received a birthday reading request for you and that is the one im gonna do next! I will get to it as soon as I have a little time!

And also thank you so much once again for the generous donation. Please don't forget that if you need another reading, you can come back for it any time regardless of the monthly slots! 🥰

Yes, movies are great and I love them for making characters complex and interesting. Even without extra scenes and books their portrayal is so good and their motives are clear. But oh yes, extra scenes and books make the movies even more complete ♥️ (btw if one day someone makes tv series based on these books I'll be forever grateful).

I'm happy to see all these words you mentioned. Bad family household, abuse... Indeed, it happened in James' story and though it does not excuse some of his actions (and he's painfully aware of it), it lets people to understand him more, understand why such a fine kind man (cause Swanns weren't wrong about that) was so salty and wrong almost all the time.

Yeah, I saw some James haters on this site and quite many of them seem to hate him because he's in Royal Navy. I'm not a fan of such institutions either (and not that all pirates were saints) but I want to care more about character as person, about their heart, nature, choices and feelings. There are good and bad people on each side (and I think that these movies showed it well). And Jamie... He was on the wrong path, he was flawed (who is not?) but his heart was good and this heart won in the end (but seriously, he didn't have to die 😭). He was so sorry, he was visibly disgusted with himself and with Beckett's lies and cruelty, he understood all and chose the light... That's why I love him. That's why I hate guys like Beckett or Lawrence.

James' story shows well that sometimes we don't have a choice or: we think/we're told we don't have it. Cause sometimes there are wrong people around us. People wanting to destroy us.

And in James' case that was a real tragedy. He was a little kid, he was like 5/6 y.o. and already abused. Abused both mentally and physically. And brainwashed all the time, trapped in "guys like Lawrence" circle, without any help. His situation reminds me of all those children being brainwashed and trained by terrorists or some armies. Children being tools. And for Lawrence Jamie was such a tool, he even said that James had to continue Lawrence's arc. He wanted own son to become a killing machine. Lawrence treated James like his property, like his subordinate, his marionette, his thing. There was no warmth, no fatherly love. Only pain, shame, abuse. All what he gave James was suffering and low self-esteem. And horrible PTSD, I believe - gosh, no surprise that Jack was so furious and bitter about Lawrence and his people. He was so right: James (a child) shouldn't have been there in that day, shouldn't have been on any ship and shouldn't have seen the terror.

It's so hard to escape from such toxic and abusive circle. Especially when you're alone with your abusers. And it's hard to deal with your demons even when you're finally free. James struggled so much. He had his war but not really with pirates - with himself. And let's bless Jack Davenport ♥️

All these moments, all his "I'm always struggling, always walking disaster James Norrington" 😭♥️

To me he is a beacon of hope, and a role model (as I discussed in another post). He reminds me that we can break the cycle, find the right environment, be open for others perspective, which may mean you forgive yourself, so you can become your best you.

Oh, true and so beautifully said, dear ♥️♥️♥️

He did it, he found hope 😭

But oh, Jack and Willy? I would say that life wasn't fair to them either.

Will: orphaned, attacked (a kid!) by bloody pirates and saved by a miracle, living without any friends (I bet his only friend was that donkey from smithy), always working too hard (his boss in the movies? forever drunk - it was Willy who cared about that smithy and had to do everything by himself), always hearing "know your place, Turner", missing a dad he didn't know, being lied about his origin, loving Lizzie but fearing he's not good enough, he's not a part of the society (I can feel some issues there). And in the end killed, then resurrected and then robbed from his precious life with Lizzie and baby (and separated from his found friend and brother Jack)

Jack: he and James share so much that I can't 😭 Extra scene from the movie tells us that he was a hero (he freed slaves and said 'fuck you bastard' to Beckett) and we can also see that when he sees his father Teague... he's nervous. What books show: he had really hard time with these two. And he was abused by his family and other people too 😭 He truly understands little James and he knows the pain. The only difference is that Jackie hides his pain even better than James. All that "I don't care" and "I'm Mr Humorous" are his mask 😭😭😭

James, Jack, Will: three boys hurt by life, linked by destiny (and would be a great family if not that cursed AWE plot, gosh I love them all so much 😭)
