#self evolution

[tombxynxtdoor]

I be in my own world half the time. Because life has been handing me shitty lemons lately.

Facts be known, it's okay to bother me. I just get busy and try not to be on socials so much.

It's easy to escape the world by being on social media, but sometimes, they suck too. 💯

Dying to live again

We know this, that sacrifice is often needed for personal evolution. So, what does it look like to release old patterns, relationships, and versions of yourself to embrace authentic growth and unabashed self-love?

Something has to go to make room for something else. That reality of sacrifice being realized; the elimination that makes room for evolution. And in truth, it’s okay if this process is sucky, or unbearable, or filled with you wanting to isolate or latch on to the very thing that must die. Shoot, I’m there right now, juggling between sharing the rage and disappointment I feel and going into…

A journey to self-love will bring you here. It's so gratifying!

Just encountered someone in the street having a (very) loud conversation about how evolution doesn't make sense because why would her children still have wisdom teeth if they're enough of a problem that she needed to get them removed.

I understand where the confusion is coming from but I don't think it's polite to point out that someone is still alive as a counterpoint.

and revealing what I should put down

really starting to feel like a whole person again

For the people saying that Jayce had no motivation to shot Viktor…

Did you not see the fucked up shit that Jayce is seeing?

My man went into the hexcore and saw horrors beyond his comprehension. He called hextech, HIS DREAM, a curse

When he looks at the people on the commune he sees hollow vessels with people faces and the marks of Viktor’s fingers

Jayce caved Viktor’s chest in because he KNEW that the pretty colors and the art deco architecture was a facade. That whatever Viktor is doing is stripping people from their true selves and leaving behind puppets that play a game called community where no one reacts like a normal person because no matter how good you life in your community is

NO ONE WOULD JUST STAND AND LOOK WHILE THE MAD HAMMER MAN NEARLY DISINTEGRATES WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CHILD TO ASHE

These are Zaunites. They would have curb stomped Jayce to the ground

But they didn’t

They stood there

Because their Machine Herald told them to “Suffer no more”

And what is fear, what is love, if not a form of suffering

[girl-that-writes]

It just breaks my heart so much when I see someone burning themselves out to try to become perfect. Nothing in this world has ever been perfect, nor will it ever be. If things could ever be perfect, evolution would have just stopped at some point, don't you think?

Spirituality #14: What does it look like for you to "let go and let God"?

It looks like this. Doing all the things I do for others for myself. Giving me back to me, you know? Giving my words, my love, my power, back to me.

It looks like releasing myself from the comfort of sadness and rage, and choosing to move through them instead of letting them walk beside me.

It looks like breaking patterns, leaning into clichés like "doing the work", "leaning in", "choosing joy", and "embracing the journey". It looks like not giving a fuck that that sounds corny.

God/spirit/WhateverYouWantToCallIt lives inside me and I am really, really good at giving it away. Giving the good and God away. I deserve it, too.

I am ashamed to say that I don't know what it means to "let go". Not really. I am even more ashamed to admit that I have no interest in learning.

The only time I have truly let go is when a dream has threatened to kill me, and almost succeeded. I decided that the last time was the last time. Maybe that is how I let go - by honoring that decision, and forgiving myself when I falter. I deserve forgiveness, too. And what can I really do if the dream is more like destiny?

Tenacity can be transmuted, you know.

My connection with source is an infinitely deep well of universal love and blessings.

The scale of MXTX characters hand writing from Worst to Best

Hua Cheng: literally intelligible, those basically aren't even words any.

Wei wuxian: the equivalent of a sleep deprived adhd stem student notes right before an exam. Technically legible but only to him, people who know him really well.

Luo Binghe: it's good. Not outstanding but Nicely legible, pretty when it needs to be.

Shen Qingqiu: technically there's nothing wrong with his hand writing, but His writing is too modern for the Xianxia settings he's living in and although it's not too much of a problem it's definitely enough to make peoples eyebrow raise.

Xie Lian: stunningly beautiful calligraphy. Truly just art in written form.

Lan wangji: the most beautiful and technically perfect hand writing you have everything seen. Calligraphy teachers weap with joy when they see his writing.

Blade-Three, also known as Three, is the living weapon of the Watchers. Conditioned to follow orders, it is meant to use its considerable strength, combat abilities, and total loyalty to obliterate the enemies of the Watchers. Of course, the "following orders" part comes first, which is how, when Listener agent Martyn InTheLittleWood comes along with the right command words, he manages to steal it. Now, instead of missions that make any sense, Three must navigate as Martyn and his roommate Jimmy attempt to teach it how to be human, or at least enough of a person to be itself. It would help if either Martyn or Jimmy knew how to be human either, and if they weren't falling apart at the seams after the death of an old friend. (And of course, there's the matter of Three's original identity, a question no one thinks to ask...) Or: in which Evo had a bad end, and five years later, the pieces that were left behind start to accidentally fall back together.

so, here's my @mcytblraufest project! shoutout to my lovely beta, @strifetxt, and my artists, @cuteiemonster and @seawaveleo, who will post their art in the coming days!

this project is simultaneously very, very exactly in my wheelhouse and very far outside of it. i had to give myself a crash course in evo to get some of this to work so that was neat. it is a very weird and very me take on watcher!grian, arguably, it's more complicated than you'd think, i don't pretend to solve philosophy. i hope you all enjoy it! i am SO EXCITED to get to posting this. everything's written, so expect a chapter a day until we get to the end! :D

TODAY ON OZZIE RAMBLES SHIT TO NARRY

[moongothic]

The worst part about trying to figure out what Crocodile's deal is that because he's so fucking irredeemably evil in Alabasta... Like... Yeah he's just irredeemably evil. Like I love him but he did cause countless casualties, a ton of pain and suffering and literally attempted to blow up a million people

Like no amount of theoretical "trying to do it to save his son from the Government" or "trying to stop the Government from hurting anyone else" or just "doing it for the greater good" is going to make him any less of a mass murderer

But also Robin absolutely 100% helped with all of that shit simply because she wanted to read the Poneglyph for herself.

No amount of her intending to betray Crocodile from the begining and sabotaging his plans erases the fact that Robin also caused countless people to starve to death and die in the civil war. Her sabotages only succeeded out of sheer luck, and only spared the lives of the people at the final battle. She has the blood of countless innocents on her hands. Because she wanted to read history.

But her crimes were swept under the rug because she has a sad backstory and her sabotages worked out just at the nick of time by sheer dumb luck

So Croc??? Just??? Is there a chance??? At all???

But also he did literally intend to sell Buggy into slavery

Like, fuck Buggy, but jesus

What's also killing me is that we like. Don't know what Luffy thinks of Crocodile right now. Which really is like. The thing that will decide how we, as the readers, are supposed to feel about Crocodile. Luffy is our POV

Like we don't know what Luffy's opinion of Crocodile is after he helped save Luffy (and spared Ace once) during the Summit War. Like Luffy clearly fucking hated the man in Impel Down and the two interactions they had during the War weren't like positive (in the sense that Luffy himself didn't think of the interactions as particularly positive. Defending Whitebeard from being attacked once and then being like "wait what HIM?!" when Crocodile defended Ace. To be fair, in the midst of the chaos, there wasn't much time to spend on Pondering On Such Things because Ace needed to be saved, and Oda goes out of his way to not show us what's going on inside Luffy's head, because it's all meant to be out in the open anyways. Regardless, these weren't like "yay it's Crocodile! :)" moments for Luffy is what I mean)

But also Luffy was very grateful of Law for saving his life and was willing to put his trust into Law for their alliance- of course, they weren't explicitly enemies to begin with, rivals at most, but still. Luffy respects those who help him.

But also Luffy grew during the timeskip. Like he's not that clueless anymore (like he finally understands Hancock is in love with him etc), and similarly Luffy gets that Buggy is an absolute loser now. But also Buggy did also help save Luffy's life (even if it was by accident), and while IDK if Luffy is aware of that, I don't think that helped improve Luffy's impression of Buggy

So like. The fuck does Luffy think of Crocodile, at this moment? Even with the Cross Guild reveal, he didn't even really comment on Croc and just focused his energy on being confused about Buggy being "the leader" of CG. IDK it feels almost intentional or something, that we don't know what Luffy thinks?? Especially since we did get Zoro's opinion on Mihawk in the situation?? Or am I delulu?? (Sidenote. I'd love to know what Robin would have to say about Crocodile helping save Luffy's life. What Jinbei might think of the final words Crocodile left him with before blasting them out of Akainu's reach. But mainly just Robin's thoughts)

Like IDK my best guess would be that Luffy still hates Crocodile just the same but is like grossed out by technically owing him one??? In the classic

-kinda way, you know? And that he'd be just kinda confused about it?

Because I can't fucking imagine Luffy being like "oh we're cool now" with Crocodile, let alone "Yay Crocodile :) He saved my life!". But also like. Luffy does kind of owe Croc one. Kind of. And Luffy is usually very respectful of that kind of thing. Aaaaaaaa???

(Also does. Does Luffy even know it was Crocodile who yeeted him and Jinbei out of Akainu's reach to begin with. 'Cause he was unconcious. Knocked the fuck out. Does. Does Luffy even know. Did anybody tell him???)

I just.

There's the reasonable part of me that knows Crocodile is an irredeemable evil dickbag and everything he has ever said and done up to the most recent chapters support that. He is too far gone.

And then there's the absolutely delulu part that loves a tragic villian who gets a heartwrenching redemption that's looking for any fucking sign that could indicate Crocodile could maybe be one
