the thing that gets me is that actively reading something is like the opposite of dissociating in the psychological sense, I know a lot of people use dissociation in the more clinical meaning of the world, specifically cases of extreme dissociation, but disassociation in general psychology terms just means you have a detachment (or are dissociating - its almost like we name things based on their most important attributes or something) emotionally from your general surroundings, EX: spacing out.
When you are using a book you are not dissociating from your general surroundings, you are just focusing on a very specific aspect of your environment (the book) this is selective attention at work (something which is useful for getting tasks done) which occasionally has the side effect of change blindness (see: that one study where people were asked to track people passing a ball and a guy in a gorilla costume walked by).
Normal 'healthy' disassociation would look more like you staring off into space in the middle of class because you're bored and you start daydreaming.
An abnormal amount of disassociation would look like spacing out early in the morning and then randomly realizing that the entire day passed by without you actually living in it, even though you know logically, you did go to school and went to your job, etc, etc and remember doing those things, and you struggle to recognize your own thoughts or emotions, or you feel like the entire world is fake and not real and you're living in a simulation. (just a few examples)

its kinda bold for wc fans to still be shocked and surprised by the series propensity to perpetuate societal attitudes which are problematic
like yes, moonpaw's portrayal is ableist and has fucked up implications, this is the series which had the tribe of rushing water, as far as I'm concerned it hasn't gotten more or less problematic since it's first arc
(would like to remind you even the first arc had racist undertones, blatant ableism, fatphobia, etc.)
it is a deeply, *deeply*, problematic series to its core, if you unproblematic warrior cats, it stops being warrior cats.
this isn't really a rant or anything this is more just an expression of my general apathy towards the way people talk about the series bc the (very justifiable) concerns about moonpaw were wide spread and talked abt well before the chapter sneak peeks, anyone who didn't listen or care then probably wouldn't care now, much like how the people I talked to about racism in various online communities didn't start caring the second time the more times I emphasized the discrimination.
like with racism, most people aren't ableist because they're misguided or ignorant, most people are ableist because it gives them satisfaction to view themselves as superior over others and gives them tangible power over other people.
yes, even in "progressive" spaces.
I know warrior cats means a lot to plenty of people but if I were to look for a community that was welcoming to disabled people, racialized people, etc. Fandom would be the last place I'd go to for it. ESPECIALLY not the warrior cats fandom.
addressing the ableism and racism in this fandom especially is like tossing water out of a sinking ship, because the entire foundation of the community is based in a racist and ableist series.
ik if people find this and circulate it they're going to take this as if me saying there's no benefit to the fandom for individual people or me trying to say that calling things out is pointless - it's not, even if it'll never make the fandom a safer or better place, these discourses do travel out of the fandom and make people reflect on media tropes and avoiding racist and ableist thinking - I'm saying this for the younger people, like I was at one point in time, who have been mislead into thinking that the wc community would be a place where they would be more accepted.
It is not an accepting place. Many people I know in the fandom and my self have been sent ableist and racist slurs unprovoked on multiple occassions.
There are good individuals in the fandom, but it is a community that rewards and promotes toxicity and bigotry and should be navigated with as much caution as humanly possible.
TL;DR: people who aren't talking abou how moonpaw's characterization is ableist and problematic either saw earlier discussions of it or are ableist and dont care

whats your favourite weather and why?
anyone in front is welcome to answer^^
ahhhh all three of us want to answer hang on
My favorite type of weather is light rain. Kind of like a light shower during the spring. Most of the time because it smells really nice afterwards and make it less hot out.
My favorite weather is a warm night out in the summer. It isn't hot because the sun is down but there is a cool breeze that keeps the clouds away so you can see the night sky. - Percival
Easy, Snowing. Might not be the best when it comes to my line of work but it is always really pretty. The first snow of the winter always is the most beautiful. Especially with a cup of coffee and someone to snuggle up with - Thancred

I would just like to let the gaming community know that I, an innocent bystander whose last video game played was FIFA and the one before that was Wii Sports some time in 2013, encountered this thing:
And speaking as a completely objective third party outsider with absolutely no personal interest in the matter–
This is the gayest thing I've ever seen in my life. You could cut the tension between these two with a knife. Nay, the tension is so thick, you'd need a chainsaw. A death sythe. A Bankai.
Gay, gay, homosexual, gay, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

How do you think syth energon Optimus would act like? Besides being a horny mess i want to get a bigger picture for something I may or may not be planning in the future~
ouughh okay uhhh lets see
Since Synth-en exaggerates and heightens thoughts, feelings, actions etc, I think he may act differently to Ratchet. Not as verbally aggressive, but more physically.
Since Ratchet already had such "temper" issues (sorry my love), that side of him became almost uncontrollable.
So what about Optimus? He's definitley not as temperamental and tends to be more on the quiet side, so to speak. But if needed, he can still kick ass and take names. So maybe a mix of a lessened sense of judgment and more of "I will actually fucking kill Megatron this time and no one is gonna stop me". But he'd say it with his actions more than thoughts.
My brain is fucked im so sorry if this makes zero sense at all, but i might come back to this and re-arrange the word vomit into something more understandable

Doodle dump :) these are from a couple different whiteboards/magmas. I liked that Ink, I may actually finish it someday.
All characters and owners beyond cut.
1st image: Sythe (the feline) belongs to me. Classic Papyrus. Ink belongs to comyet.
2nd image: Entropy belongs to me
3rd image: Killer belongs to rahafwabas
4th image: Justice belongs to shiverette
5th image: Hope belongs to onestrangefeather
Speaking of Hope, if you haven’t seen what fledgling bird wings look like, now you have! (I mean, minus the bone part obviously). Kinda weird, huh?
(Justice and Hope are from the souls born au, which is a spinoff au inspired by agdreamtale)

I'm the one who made Morningstar a character by the way, she's my favorite one. Yes I'm aware she's literally teh worst person imaginable - literally! - that's why I like her.
I think M likes Jazmine the most.
The magenta collective is obsessed with Arnie, we all like Arnie, they're the main character so we had to make them likeable to most of our tastes, but the magenta collective LOVES Arnie. [The magenta collective primarily features The One, Rook, and Stupid and their offshoots]

May I ask headcanons for a bitter-sweet scenario of a Reaper!Wol, who comes to learn their voidsent partner is no other than Haurchefant, making sure their WOL doesn't get possessed by someone more malicious? ;w;
A/N: I went on more of a protective thing for Haurchefant. I feel like if he's your voidsent, no one is gonna possess or harm you
You wouldn't have questioned it
but your voidsent partner would linger
it would come out without your command to protect
you felt safe when you had your sythe with you
without it, you felt cold and lonely
you wanted to be close with your voidsent
though you couldn't understand why
while you were in a battle, you braced yourself to take the hit
but it never came
your voidsent would be infront of you, protecting you
just like he did that fateful day
it would bring tears to your eyes as the memory would flash through your mind
and then the voidsent would speak softly
you could recognize the voice anywhere
you heard it so often in your dreams
"Haurchefant!"
the voidsent would hum in affirmation
he was with you all this time
he was still protecting you, just as he did in life
you'd want to find a way to give him his form back just like Zero

ok, sorry if question is a bit long and if you have answered, please put the link for me to see please. Well... what are the names of the heroes? What was each heroe's first choice? (I mean the ladybug and cat holder). I know that Marinette is with the Fox and Ivan with the turtle, but for some reason I think that if they swap it would combine more (I speak more in symbolism, ivan who cannot lie with the "miraculous of lie"). What is the weapon of each carrier? About the turtle and Ivan, I think a purplish blue would match more (that leatherback turtle). What are the camouflaged forms of each miraculous? Do you have the reason why every person has every miraculous?
A big ask, but thats okay! I'd love to answer! Note that some answers like names and weapons are subject to change, im not great with names and im less familliar with some characters than others so, opinions and other ideas are awesome :)
Names and weapons, left to right:
Aliase Rouges (red wings), Cartoony sledge hammer
Veilluese (night light), Grappling hook
Bison? Hyland?, Guitar- its electric but doesnt have to be plugged in..
Adora (play on Adore), Frisbee
Ouroboros, Mirror shield (play on the medusa myth)
Tack (to temporarily fasten something together), Big Needle
Captain Stinger (shortened to Sting), Cutlass
Jockey?, Reins? maybe a whip
Alectryon, rooster body (i guess?)
Jack Rabbit (shortened to Jack), Pickaxe
Ridley (a type of turtle), Detatched shields- Bonus purpley-blue version: honestly it works just as well.
Tora (Japanese for tiger, i think), Sythe
R.A.T (acronym for Rodent Assist Team? idk, funny bit based on pokemons F.E.A.R strat lol, also sounds like a dj name??. also based on his purpose being mostly assisting pedestrians), Glow sticks (almost like a pair of lightsabers, without the deadliness. Basically glowing battons)
Boar, Boomerang (shaped like boar tusks).
Cirrus (a type of cloud, Aroure and Mirelle share the name and the miraculous), Lightning rod/ wind sock
Caprix (Play on Caprine), Chunky roller blades
Gibbon? (a type of monkey), one of those silly stretchy sticky hands
Reasons for each holder are here!
First choices are also listed there, if there isnt an alternative listed, they either had the same idea or no strong preference for a different holder. Regarding swapping holders based on symbolism (i.e. Ivan with the fox, Mari with the turtle) that would be super cool and i may draw them at some point in the future, but wouldn't fit with my au. This is because my bug and cat holders choose them based on preexisting relationships, traits, and talents.
Camouflaged forms are these:
Struggled with Alyas rabbit miraculous tbh, it doesnt quite fit with my au for it to stay a pocket watch anyway (the Rabbits power being swapped from Burrow in a time sense, to Burrow in a dig way) so i guess its normal activated form would be some kind of keychain? Alyas disguise currently is a tamogachi :)
Nino wears the mouse necklace wrapped around his wrist like a bracelet.
Max's snake bracelet turns into a smart watch.
Markovs claw connects to his existing claws, and mimics what claws he already has.
Mirelle and Aroure have similar chokers with the charm changed. Aroure has the lightning bolt, Mirelle has the rain drop. They have the chokers replicated by comission with Marinette so they can swap the actual miraculous between them when needed.
Sabrinas sunglasses are prescription. They could also be just normal glasses, no black tint, when appropriate.
Marcs ring, where rainbow, is iridescent!
The butterfly and peacock are still unavailable to our heroes.

Ok okay 😼 Marie when she realizes stein has a weapon child(basing off the last request and I think it’s obvious I see the mad scientist as a father 🫣🤭) and obviously how stein reaction to his child seeing Marie as a mom!
You can write it anytime! Take your time! Don’t rush anything and MAKE SURE TO STAY HYDRATED AND HEALTHY!🎆
thank you my dear!! I’m healthy and semi hydrated so I figured I met the conditions to write again lol
————————————————��——————————
Marie with Stein’s Weapon Child
-I think this goes without saying but Marie was aware of you long before she started teaching at the DWMA
-she’s a death sythe and Stein is one of the best meisters in the world, meaning your existence isn’t exactly hideabke so she would’ve heard about maybe even in brief passing
-wether she knew you were a weapon or not before she met you doesn’t make much of a difference
-you officially met Marie when she came to stay with you and your dad while they were working on defeating Ashura
-and safe to say she fell in love with you within minutes
-you were semi down to earth like Stein but you were so sweet and just overall doteable
-finding out you were a weapon just made you two all the closer
-you took a liking to her fairly immediately, seeing her as a motherly figure with your own mother gone
-the three of you would train together after school in weekends (Stein even wielding both of you at once one time)
-Marie would be delighted if your weapon form was similar to hers, but even if it wasn’t she would love you the same
-but when Marie finds out you can also fight by herself!!!???
-she’s ecstatic, so so so proud of you even if you aren’t her child
-she wants to make sure you’re safe and healthy first and foremost, she won’t let you overwork yourself one bit 😤😤😤
-is a little concerned that a teenager can figure out how to fight on their own and she can’t but it’s whatever lol
-you would probably also grow a strong connection with Crona from him being over to see Marie so often
(you would totally threaten Ragnarok when he’s being a little shit)
-when you’re in the classroom you and Marie try to act like you two aren’t attached at the hip (but it’s a wee bit obvious she has a slight favorite)
-no one in class holds it against you though and it doesn’t mean Marie doesn’t love her other students just as much
-now getting onto Stein
-this man is shutting bricks terrified
-he barely understands his own teenager, let alone a woman his own age
-you two have your own way of speaking and suddenly you’re style is changing and his house is changing
-the man cannot cope
-once he gets over the first few weeks of “wtf is going on”, he settles in really nicely
-Stein may not say it but he really appreciates the relationship you and Marie have because sometimes he feels he is lacking as a parent in the emotional capacity
-he won’t admit it but he loves how much you two get along, it feels like he has his own small family, it makes his heart all fuzzy
-and when you start to notice that Stein likes Marie you are pushing it SO hard
-i mean accidentally “forgetting” something in Stein’s room so Marie goes to get it while Stein is sleeping
-slipping both of them gifts and pretending it’s from the other
-trying to get Stein to just freaking admit he like Marie
-and when they get together you’re happy as a clam, within a few months of the two of them dating, you start calling Marie ‘mom’
-she started bawling the first time you did, and from then on you three are an actual family
-if and when Stein and Marie get married she legally adopts you
-you three are an unstoppable team of badasses, especially when all three of you resonate
-the only problem is Marie trying to figure out how to tell you both the family is about to go from the terrifying three to the fearsome four….
-———————————————————————————
that’s all my dears!
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed
and per usual I am here solely for your literary pleasure
-Melodrangea <3

Hua Cheng’s Design
Source: 孤世中逢影 Gu Shi Zhong Feng Ying (weibo) on Hua Cheng’s design as based on Miao ethnic group culture - with snippets from a Chinese Documentary on Miao Ethnic People and an interview with Shi sifu, one of the last traditional Miao silversmiths - Sina TV.
Translator: Sythe / NPD Khanh
Hua Cheng’s character design. As we all know, the image of Hua Cheng was established based on the Miao ethnic group, so let's see the specific origin of things on Hua Cheng’s person.
1. Red umbrella:
The red umbrella in Miao culture is one of the indispensable props at marriage and celebrations. The red umbrella symbolizes great auspiciousness as one’s desires, numerous children and grandchildren, sheltering from the wind and rain, exorcising evil spirits, and shielding people from disasters. All of these together are a perfect fit to represent the blessings of the heavens (Tian Guan Ci Fu, the name of the novel) with no taboos or misfortunes.
At the same time, in the opening episode of Tian Guan Ci Fu, Xie Lian mistook Hua Cheng for a bridegroom ghost. The situation fits perfectly like a miracle as a red umbrella is required for a wedding.
2. Silver butterfly, maple leaves.
The Miao people have long had an ancient song, "Feng Mu Ge" (Song of the Maple Tree), to praise the beauty of life. The Miao people also consider butterflies as the ancestral mother, who can bless the village to be peaceful, the children to thrive, and the nation to flourish.
Maple leaves and butterflies represent rebirth, and reincarnation. These motifs can be seen in the culture of the Miao people everywhere, from clothes to jewelry to household decorations. The most famous is the Hong He area, located in an autonomous district of the Miao ethnic group in Yunnan. Whether it is nature or people, maple leaves and butterflies are popular, cherished symbols.
ps. The butterfly decoration that the author saw while traveling in Yunnan is also an inspiration.
"When I was traveling in Yunnan, there was a butterfly decoration in front of the hotel elevator,” Mo Xiang looked at it and thought. After a while, she said proudly, "He will raise a kaleidoscope of butterflies." (From MXTX Author’s Notes and Interview)
3. Silver Jewelry
This goes without saying much, silverware is an important component of Miao culture, "the more beautiful, the better;” "Miao people’s iconic silver jewelry is used to pray for peace and as a token of love or a proposal of marriage.” Speaking of which, Hua Cheng’s character design is based on ethnic Miao people. Of course, the same jewelry is used. The inheritor of the art of Miao silversmithing, Shi sifu, also said, Hua Cheng is steeped in Miao Guang symbolism and aesthetics.
4. Other
If you read the novel, it’s not difficult to figure out:
Huacheng used a red umbrella because when he was young and weak and had nothing. Xie Lian gave him a red umbrella to shield him from the wind and rain.
Hua Cheng uses corral beads because this is one of Xie Lien's lost earrings. In Taoism, coral represents the heart. Taking this into account, Xie Lian in the book had two corral earrings. The implication of this symbolism then becomes quite enticing.
Hua Cheng strung the red string of fated love because, during the Gentle Fragrance part of the book, Xie Lian gently cut a hair strand and gifted it to him. In our country's traditional culture, tying your hair together represents binding marriage. The red line represents your destined intertwined path.
From the beginning to the end, the author demonstrated the changes in Hua Cheng. "Become a better, stronger person because of him, for him". All of Hua Cheng’s character progressions developed according to the plot, gradually revealing layers of meaning, and not built by forced intention. Therefore, in successfully portraying such a character, the author moved the reader’s heart and created a miracle.
A Love that is unchanged even in the face of death.

Random Fact About:!
I'm gonna start doing random facts about MY Obey Me! characters. Mainly about Simmy and Barbie and the twins and will throw in the others too time to time.
Well, here's one about each!
Simeon: He does cuss, just not very often. Especially in front of Luke.
Barbatos: He does smoke. Very very rarely. Like once every couple hundred years. He stress smokes.
Diavolo: He's not an idiot. He knows what he's doing. He just seems that way so people won't walk on eggshells around him. (If Barbatos or Lucifer ain't around)
Luke: He's not dumb by no means. He knows what's up.
Solomon: I solely believe his so called "food" is what makes him immortal. Think about it, if it was any good then every one would be all over it. Solomon is use to it, that's why it doesn't infect him.
Lucifer: He can speak, write and read different languages so he can be a prideful smug bitch when he can translate something the others can't
Mammon: He can tell if money is fake. No matter the currency. He can tell if it's fake.
Leviathan: Leaned to cook through cooking games and is actually really good at it.
Satan: Dispite not being able to stand Lucifer, he'll get PISSED if someone threatens him to his face.
Asmodeus: He as a "Blood Lust" side to him that rivals Satan's wrath. Best not to push his limits.
Beelzebub: He's physically the strongest brother.
Belphegor: He can see people dreams though dream catchers.
Thirteen: She's in a garage band where she's back up singer and guitarist. The group is called "The Reaper's Sythe".
Mel: I can't spell his fucking name so I'm calling him either Eggplant or Mel! Once made fault reports in the papers about Lucifer. Was personally told by Diavolo to stop in a not so friendly way with a "friendly" smile.
Raphael: He makes his weapons himself so he knows just what he needs and how he needs them.
#obey me shall we date#obey me barbatos#obey me simeon#obey me diavolo#shall we date#obey me#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me leviathan#obey me asmodeus#obey me beelzebub#obey me belphie#obey me satan#obey me thirteen#obey me luke#Obey me Diavolo#obey me mephistopheles

Day 1 -
SE Spirit Albarn x Reader - Winter Wonderland Proposal
Summary: Now that the Kishin has been released, and tomorrow isn't promised in Death City, Spirit has an important question to ask you.
Warnings: Mentions of death, slight angst, mostly fluff, blended family, step mother!reader, step daughter!maka
You shivered violently, pulling your coat tighter around you as you cast your gaze down at the snowy rooftops below, scanning for Spirit. He'd asked you to meet him after the school day ended on this balcony- maybe you'd come to the wrong one? Or maybe you were earlier than you thought you'd been? You quickly glanced at your watch, confirming that it was, indeed half pasted four, the agreed-upon time. You rolled your eyes. It was just like him to toy with your feelings like this. To run into your classroom, mid-lesson, pull you to the side and whisper in your ear that you just had to meet with him. To promise that he had something important to say. To leave you alone in the snow wondering what could have possibly been so urgent.
"I got hung up, I'm sorry," a nervous voice called from behind you. Spinning on your heels, you found none other than the death sythe himself, palms on his knees, hunched over and panting. "I didn't mean to keep you waiting." A bead of sweat slipped down his temple as you smiled at him.
"I was beginning to think you'd played me again, Spirit." You said slyly, leaning against the balcony railing. "Just like when we were kids." Your words made his stomach churn as he instantly recognized what you were referring to.
When the two of you were young, fresh-faced students of the DWMA, there had been a moment like this. It had been no secret that you'd had a crush on Spirit- everyone knew, including him. He'd asked you to meet him at this very balcony back then, after weeks of late-night studying, interlocked pinkies, and barely-there kisses. Though he never could bring himself to show up, his heart was too heavy, and it was in Kami's soft hands already.
"Right..." he said, halfheartedly. "Sorry about that, by the way..."
"Water under the bridge." you smiled, relieving him a bit. "But, now that you're here, what was so important you had to interrupt my class?"
"W-Well..." he stammered, stepping forward to lean on the railing beside you. "I guess I had an epiphany."
"Wow," you giggled behind your hand. "That's a big word for you, Spirit. What was this epiphany you had?"
Death Sythe blushed a bit at your chiding, clearing his throat into his fist before continuing. "I've come to realize that the world is ending."
You couldn't stifle your laughter, snorting at his ultra-serious, puffy-cheeked face. "Is that all?" you jeered playfully. "I always knew you tended to catastrophize, but I didn't know it was so bad!"
"(Y-Y/N), please..." he shriveled before you, embarrassed under your joy. "Let me finish..."
You began to come off your laughing fit, wiping a tear from your eye. "Go ahead, Spirit, out with it."
After taking in and expelling a deep breath, he humbly began to speak again. "It really does feel like the world is ending. The Kishin is out on the loose, everyone is in danger, I'm divorced, and my own daughter hates me."
Your smile instantly faltered and you laid a hand on your friend's shoulder. "Don't worry about the Kishin, we'll find him and get rid of him for good this time, I know we will. And Maka doesn't hate you, she loves you, she just-" You paused for a moment, finding yourself speeding into a topic you didn't want to get into. "She wants a reason to admire you, despite your flaws. Stand up, dust yourself off, and fight, Spirit. Give Maka a reason to be proud of you."
"If Maka admires anyone, it's you," he suddenly smiled sadly. "She wants to be strong like you."
"Well, that's very sweet," you replied weakly, choking back the tears of a warmed heart. "But that little girl has more strength in her pinky finger than I have in my entire body. She's your daughter after all."
"She could be your daughter too," Spirit confessed, a bit too quickly.
"W-What?" you stuttered, stepping back a bit in surprise. "What do you mean by that...?"
"I think you know..." he replied, straightening his back and stepping closer to you. Reaching out, he collected your hands in his and gazed deeply into your eyes. "With the Kishin free, none of us know what the future will look like, and every day, I'm becoming more and more aware that, even if we all somehow make it out of this unscathed, nothing will ever be the same."
"Spirit..." you muttered, at a loss for words.
"But I think that sometimes change is good." Sighing, he pulled you closer, close enough to sell the years catching in your lashes. "I promised Maka I wouldn't jump into another marriage but, that girl needs a mother, one that's present in more than just postcards. She needs a woman to confide in, to admire. She needs you." he paused, taking another sharp breath after his initial schpeel. "I need you. I know I've never been good to you, and we're not even in a relationship but..."
"But...?" you repeated breathlessly, watching him let you go, taking a step back and folding onto his knee, pulling something from his pocket.
"After we kill the Kishin, after the world ends and starts over again, will you marry me?" Sapphire eyes bore into you expectantly as he offered you a humble gold band with a single precious stone in the center.
Slowly, you too sank to your knees, falling into his chest without answering. "Do you promise to be true?" you sobbed into his dress shirt. "We'll be together?"
"I swear it, (Y/N)." he replied, wrapping you up in his arms, softly petting your hair. "I swear on my life."
"And Maka...?" you sniffled, glancing up at him.
"I already asked her," he grinned, plashing you that smile that always gave you butterflies as a girl. "She wants to be your maid of honor."
"Then yes!" you cried, nuzzling into him for a moment before pulling back to allow him to slip the ring over your finger. "I would love to marry you, Spirit."
For what felt like the first official time, your lips crashed to his in an emotional, loving, excited kiss as he held you until you felt the need to pull away again. "I love you..." you whispered. "And I can't wait until this is all over."
"I love you too, (Y/N)," he smirked, standing up and pulling you along with him. "Or should I call you Mrs. Albarn?"
