I think a key detail here is that at least one other Congresswoman (Marjorie Taylor Greene) has threatened McBride with violence if she sees her in a women's bathroom at their place of work.
It's also worth noting that this blogger & activist, Erin Reed, is the one framing it as "complying with rules declaring her a man." And, while that framing isn't a huge reach, it also isn't what's plainly and overtly happening.
What the (Republican) speaker of the House actually said is "All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildingsâsuch as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker roomsâare reserved for individuals of that biological sex.â
And McBride has responded that, rather than having a showdown about this--and getting, IDK, beaten up in a bathroom by MTG, or whatever she's planning--she will use the unisex restrooms available in the building.
It's definitely valid to feel like McBride should die on this hill. In a sense, she's in Congress representing not just her district, but also trans people throughout the country, and since trans people are facing this exact kind of discrimination in schools and workplaces all over, maybe she has a duty to face it head-on?
I don't know. I haven't quite figured out my position yet, but what I do know, is that as we all have our own reactions and form our own opinions about it, we should make sure that we're looking at what the people involved actually said, and not relying solely on a emotionally-loaded commentary.
Oh, so she's a high road coward just like every other fucking Democrat, got it.
I'm tired of this shit.
We've "appealed to decorum" our way into full blown fascism and this just proves they're going to stay on that path.
Why is it Republicans can constantly break the rules and get away with it while Democrats just do fuck all because of norms that were made up by them in the first fucking place!
#you know how we've been talking about SIFT?#this is the kind of thing I was talking about#what we started with at the top of the post is a take--I'm not saying it's a necessarily bad take#but it definitely isn't a neutral and objective account of what happened#once we have that grounding in the details of what was actually said and done#we're in a better position to figure out if we agree with Reed's interpretation of the situation

Friends!
Are you feeling hopeless in the face of the oncoming MAGA-pocalypse? Want to do something fast, easy, and free that will make a difference?
If you're in Michigan, keep reading! If you're not, signal boost this to your Mitten State Mutuals!
Michiganders, it's time to contact your state reps and tell them to vote YES on HB 6034 and HB 6035. Together, these two bills comprise the Freedom to Read Act and they severely limit the ability of assholes to ban books in the state of Michigan.
Want to read the bills for yourself? Click here:
https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Search/ExecuteSearch?sessions=2023-2024&docTypes=House%20Bill,Senate%20Bill&contentFullText=%22freedom%20to%20read%22
Tl;dr? Here's an article and video summarizing the Act from CBS News:
Not sure how to contact your Michigan state representatives? Text RESIST to 50409 and Resistbot will walk you through it.
It's easy, it takes about 5 minutes, and you can do it from your couch/bed/puddle of despair.
Tips for contacting elected officials:
1) If you're asking them to vote YES or NO on something, say that in the first line. Bonus points if you can tag the actual bill (HB/House Bill) number.
2) Only include ONE issue per communication.
3) 1&2 are because these are being skimmed by interns who keep a running tally of what each communication is about. One communication = one point.
3a) Don't be a dick to the interns. Their lives are hard enough.
4) Keep it short. One sentence very clearly stating what you want. One or two sentences about why they should care about what you want ("As a resident of your district, I know you agree that SOMETHING SOMETHING FREEDOM, SOMETHING SOMETHING LIBERTY, SOMETHING SOMETHING THINK OF THE CHILDREN.") Appeal to the person they claim to be in their campaign ads. Get it, give them clear instructions, get out.
5) No profanity.
6) No threats.
7) No memes/ slang/ sarcasm/ lols. You are cosplaying as someone who thinks salt is too spicy and whose greatest joy in life is sorting their collection of plain white socks.
8) 5, 6, & 7 are because anything you communicate to an elected official will become a matter of public record. It goes into a file. And if anyone ever pulls that file, you want to be on record as the most boring, conscientious, polite, non-threatening motherfucker who ever lived.
Now go forth and make your voice heard!
(Hey @unpretty and @official-michigan-posts, can you help get the word out?)

that "is elesh norn conventionally attractive" post has reminded me to be angry about how her design has been gradually shifted to be less monstrous and more feminine over the years. the inhumanity is the reason the original concept art by richard whitters and the art for her first card by igor kieryluk make her so character design so compelling.
she's not a woman, she's a flesh construct that's vaguely woman-shaped. this is the glistening oil's blind attempt at recreating a symbol of holy purity.
by the next time we see her on a magic card, kieryluk's design has already been watered down into a more typically feminine shape. she looks like she could have at one point been an ordinary woman here. the gore texture has been removed to make her midriff look like a normal, albeit red, woman's tummy. her limbs are practically normal, and if she's still 8 feet tall in this pic she doesn't look like it.
art of elesh norn from promotional material for all will be one, and the art of her actual card in the set. her flat torso plate has been completely resculpted to more cartoonish womanly proportions, including breasts. her thighs are inexplicably curvy (with flesh, presumably).
WHAT I'M SAYING is that elesh norn WASN'T conventionally attractive, we just got frogboiled into her design being more like that.

Dead on Main short
Look, I don't know if you can tell, but I really like soulmate AUs, okay. Also, writing something exactly 500 words is more annoying than I thought it would be, but was a fun experiment.
Lightly inspired by this post.
Edit: there is a part 2 now!
Danny's parents were never concerned about the words on Dannyâs wrist. Given their occupation, they thought Danny would meet someone while studying, or perhaps even lecturing on ghosts, or maybe as part of some other job in the future. Jazz has always been concerned about the words on Dannyâs wrist. This is probably the normal reaction, given most people do not surround themselves with the dead.Â
Danny himself was concerned about it for a while. But then he died. The amount of death surrounding him at all times, what with his parentsâ study of ghosts, practically tripled after that. And suddenly the words âIs he dead?â were a lot less concerning. Because in his life, oftentimes the answer was yes.
Not that he was always around dead bodies or anything. But the company he kept did include a large amount of ghosts and other ectoplasmic beings, that while they were not dead, werenât technically alive either.Â
So, Danny moved on with his life as normal. He knew what his words were, but was never actively listening for them. For a few years there he was barely hanging on to sanity, battling ghosts and trying to graduate high school.Â
Eventually, life calmed down. His parents, unfortunately, died in their own lab accident. Danny was in his senior year at the time, and Jazz took a semester off of college to help him graduate and get accepted at university himself. Then they shut the portal down and moved on from Amity Park.
Jazz went back to Yale. Danny, who did not make high enough grades for that, went to Gotham University. It was there that he discovered he actually really liked college. School was a lot easier when he wasnât fighting for his life all the time, and this time he got to take classes he was actually interested in.Â
By the start of his second year, his life was looking up. He was majoring in mechanical engineering, and he loved all his science classes. He had a somewhat decent apartment, and was living without much worries on the money from selling his parentsâ house. Gotham is not the best area, but it can be a really cheap place to live. And he didnât see Sam, Tuck, or Jazz as often as any of them would like, but they were all happy where they were.
Which makes the current moment much more distressing than it would have been in his teenage years. As Danny looks at the now-dead body in front of him, then turns and presses his forehead into the alley wall. Heâs seconds away from banging his head against it, but that would only give him a headache and would in no way help the current situation.Â
The vigilante standing across the alley, on the other side of the body, did not move for a solid minute upon rounding the corner onto the scene. Then he asks, in a voice distorted by tech, âIs he dead?â.
This is not good.

Always There
Agatha Harkness x Vampire!Reader x Rio Vidal
Word count: 4.9k
Notes: Non-major character death, depictions of violence, graphic violent content (blood, mob violence/torture, detailed wounds), angst, hurt/comfort, fluff, small mention of suicial tendencies, italics=past
Summary: Vampire reader has had a casual relationship with Agatha and Rio, but eventually too many years pass since their last encounter, the vampire starts to wonder if they still cared for her.
An: Posting this immediately after I finished writing it. Hope you enjoy. Likes, replies, reblogs, and all of that are appreciated đââď¸đââď¸đââď¸ Edit: Not me saying itallics and forgetting to actually put them lol
Masterlist
Youâve had a casual fling with Agatha and Rio for as long as you can recall. Thereâs a stereotype about witches coming and going as they please, and you find it to be frustratingly true.
It's easier to get ahold of Rio than Agatha, which is ironic considering that Rio is literally Death. With the title comes the job, so all you truly needed to get a glimpse of her was a body. Perhaps you could arrange the carcasses in a way that said âstay with me foreverâ.
As a vampire, you had time to wait. There was no rush, which is how you believe things got so casual. You could never forget how you met the pair.
At the time angry mobs were running rampant, looking for anyone to persecute. You were a known vampire living not to far from a village. They hunted you for sport. There were many of them that you killed, but eventually they were able to ambush you. When they did, they used wooden spikes to pin you to a large âXâ that they built. The scars from were they impaled your flesh still present today.
They tortured you; punching, spitting, stabbing, you had eventually lost track of time after a few hours. The need for blood weakening you enough to where breaking free was nearly impossible.
Theyâd come in shifts for the torture and leave only one person to watch you in the night. That was their only flaw. You didnât expect anyone outside of the village to come across you, but someone did.
Your head was hung low, when you heard the unmistakable sound of a body hitting the ground. You raised it slightly, to see the guard that was supposed to be watching you, dead on the floor.
âYou donât look too well.â
It had been days since you had tried to speak, so your voice was hoarse, âI wouldnât think so.â
âWhat are you? Only someone different, is worth all of this trouble,â a different voice spoke.
Your eyes look to where the voices are coming from, but you only see shadows. Your tongue is dry as it passes over your bloody chapped lips.
âVampire,â you mumbled.
âHelp me get her down.â
When they approached, you finally got a good look at them. You couldnât help but stare at their features. Both youthful with rosy cheeks. Rioâs large brown eyes caught your attention immediately, warm yet hiding something. Agathaâs features were sharper, her cheekbones, her jawline, even her eyes.
âThis will hurt,â Rio examined the wood embedded into your skin.
âI know,â you spoke weakly.
You expected them to pull the spikes out with their hands. Instead your eyebrows furrowed when purple and green tendrils of magic worked around the spikes. Instead of 4, painfully slow, agonizing moments, there was only one rough pull, before your body fell off of the âXâ. Only your knees hit ground as Agatha and Rio held up the rest of your body.
Your full weight pushed against them as your head rested in between their shoulders, âThank you.â
âHungry?â
Your eyes glowed a dim red, âI could drain a village.â
âBloodthirsty, even in this state?â Agatha teased.
âEspecially in this state,â you corrected.
You could hardly move, but you attempted to stand on your unstable legs. You grunted in pain as you put one foot in front of the other. Your focus was on the dead guard. His heart was no longer beating, but blood still filled his veins. It was calling to you, it had been too long since you had fed.
Your fangs snack into the manâs neck viciously. You had no remorse for the corpse as his body began to lose color as you drank. He wasnât a large man, which was unfortunate, but he sufficed for the moment.
Harsh breaths and clearing of your throat, were indicators of how much you needed that. You wiped the blood off of your mouth with the back of your hand.
Your wounds were slowly closing, but it was taking all of the energy you had just gained.
âI can heal you faster,â Rio said tentatively grabbing your forearm.
She extended it so that itâs flat, before quickly running her tongue over the spot. You looked at her as if she was crazy, but then back at your wrist. The hole from the stake was gone, in its place was only a scar.
If you had a pulse, you were sure that it would be beating wildly.
You glanced at Agatha, who watched on, âDo you do that too?â
She shook her head, âEarth witch specialty.â
âHow long did they have you like that?â Rioâs eyes have examined your body, noticing the extensive damage. Her finger trailed one of the nastier slashes across your stomach.
âI don't recall,â you spoke honestly.
Rio was careful as she healed the larger wounds on your body, you told her not to worry about the less significant ones. Even when she was done you were still caked in dirt and mostly your own blood.
âLet me help you out doll,â Agatha waved her fingers swiftly, and soon you were clean as a whistle.
Your tattered clothes replaced as if they were new, dirt and blood alike removed from your body. Ugly scars, now covered except for the few that littered your face.
âWhy help me? We are only strangers, I donât even know your names.â
âAbominations to humanity must stick together lest we want them to wipe every one of us out . You can call me Rio.â
âAgatha Harkness, pleasure to save you beautiful.â
One of your eyebrows raised, âWitch killer, Agatha Harkness?â
The woman chuckled, âI see my reputation supersedes my community. Does my aura scare youâŚâ
âY/n, and it does not. There are no rules when it comes to preservation of self. Iâve killed my own kind for good reasons and some not so good reasons. Bodies just seem to pile up when Iâm around.â
âThat why they nail you up like that?â Rio questioned.
You shrugged, âI suppose, a mixture of that and fear.â
âPeople fear death,â she spoke.
You shook your head as you corrected her, âMortals fear death. I know people who are thousands of years old, who run from ailments of morality. They are foolish, death cannot be outran. Though it may take longer for her to come, she will eventually get all of us.â
âYou arenât afraid to die?â Agatha questioned you.
âNo, thereâs no point. Sheâll come for me when itâs my time, but until then what is there to fear besides a wasted life.â
Rio had a small smile on her face, âQuite the philosophy youâve fostered. Just one question, if you feel that way, then why kill anyone in the first place?â
It was your turn to chuckle, âIf someone was meant to live, they simply would. Iâm not stealing life, simply gifting death to those who have decided that it is their time.â
âHow do you know that theyâve decided?â Agatha counters.
âWell you see, many people are weary of vampires and they should be. They let their guard down, they get comfortable, they play with their food instead of finishing the job. Those actions have consequences and I like to deal with those consequences personally. So I suppose when they choose to wrong me, theyâve chosen to die.â
âAnd the villagers who did this to you?â Rio pondered aloud.
You eyed her cautiously, âDo you stand to stop me?â
Rio shook her head, âI keep a witch killer in my company, you think Iâm above a rightfully earned massacre?â
âWell you spoke of solidarity amongst-â
âThink of it this way, we can do what we want amongst each other, as it is our business. The humans have no right, to do what we do.â
You nod, âI agree.â
âSo, youâre going to destroy the village?â Agatha questioned.
âMy goal is to drain every last one.â
After that first encounter you were drunk on the thought alone of Agatha and Rio. Finding out Rio's true identity only made you lust for her even more. You knew that both had bonded with each other in ways you hadnât understood, but that didn't stop your feelings from developing.
It didn't take long for them to fold you into their relationship, at least partially. They werenât always around, but when they were everything seemed to fall back into place.
However, youâd be lying if you said you hadn't been getting restless these last few years. It was feeling like you saw less of them, especially Agatha. It felt like a game of cat and mouse. Somehow you had ended up chasing after them.
Tonight you walk the streets bored, part of you looking for trouble. Rumblings of new age vampire hunters in the area had piqued your interest. So youâd have a chance to have some fun or at minimum find your next meal.
Your fingers play with the rings they had gifted you, centuries ago. In the past you could feel both of them signaling you through the jewelry. It was a faint buzz, something like a hum, through the ring. A feeling that you hadnât felt in ages. You longed to feel it again, to feel them.
Alleyways didnât scare you, hardly anything scared you these days. Yet as you take a step into this alley, you sense something immediately. You feel eyes on you, as you walk.
âHas anyone ever told you to be mindful of where you settle demon?â
You continue walking, the empty threat meant nothing to you.
âI know what you are, I can smell it on you,â the voice echoes against the walls.
Your ears twitch, and soon youâre holding a frail man against one of the concrete walls in the alley.
âIf you know what I am, you should be more mindful of how you approach me,â your strength speaks for itself.
You donât give him the pleasure of seeing your fangs or glowing red eyes.
âAh, youâre one of the older ones. This will be quite fun,â he says gleefully.
âWhat are you-" the question dies on your lips as you feel a needle being jabbed into your neck.
Your hand instinctively shoots over the spot, and your growl in frustration. You drop the man against the wall, turning your attention to the person who stuck you from behind with the needle.
This man was much bigger than the other. He was about twice your size, but it did not matter. You bare your fangs, hissing at the muscular man.
âWhy isnât she dropping?â He yells, fear laced through his voice.
You take the moment to pounce on him. Your teeth wasting no time, sinking into his neck. The man convulses under you, but youâre stronger than him. Even when he grabs your neck you donât relent.
âImpossible,â the frail man, whispers from his spot against the wall.
âNice try, but-â
The sensation hits you like a truck. You feel your vision get blurry and your muscles weaken. You blink a few times trying to will yourself against the late acting sedative.
The frail man nods excessively as you begin to lose consciousness, âSlower than usual, but captured nonetheless.â
Youâre jolted back into consciousness when you feel the stake being driven into your skin. You attempt to shoot out of whatever position you are in, but it only causes you a familiar pain. Unlike the first time you were nailed to something, this time it was straight up rather than âXâ formation. Your arms hung up straight above your head and your feet were slightly spread underneath.
One spike was used to pierce both of your hands in place while you had one for each foot. Your breathing only quickens even more upon noticing you are in a forest. This couldnât be happening.
âGlad you could finally join us,â the frail man from earlier want alone this time. He had a group of people with him.
âLet me go, and Iâll consider sparing you one I'm free,â you say, yet no one moves.
âYou hold no power here, demon,â the man walks around you. âI am doctor Helsing, you may be familiar with my ancestors.â
Your jaw twitches, â Van Helsing.â
He chuckles, âWhat a smart creature you are?â
âWhat do you want from me?â
His chuckle turns into a boisterous laughter, â You can't offer me anything that I don't have the ability to take.â
You glare at the people in front of you, eyes turning a vicious shade of red, âThe last group of people that tried something like this, paid for their sins with their lives. I hope youâre prepared to do the same.â
âThey did quite a number on you, I can tell by your markings. Their only mistake was letting such a beautiful thing like you go,â Helsing says, his hand sliding across the scar on your abdomen.
âThey didnât let me go. I got out.â
His eyes had a glint as he leaned in, âAnd then you killed them all, how sad.â
He stabs you in the scar. Carving harder and deeper than the previous person. You grunt, but try to steel yourself under the knife. Yet you squirm finding the sensation to be more unpleasant than you had recalled.
âSilver cuts a little different doesnât it?â He says watching the cut pour blood.
âYouâre going to regret this.â
He turns his attention to the people, âEmpty threats mean nothing when a beast is tied up. Would anyone else like a turn?â
People in his crowd begin to circle around you. Some with weapons, others cracking their knuckles. You're being attacked from all sides. The pain makes you tear up, but you avoid crying.
Instead you left out a bitter laugh, âThatâs all youâve got. Come on if you're gong to torture me at least put some passion behind it.â
âOh, weâre just getting started. I want to hear you beg for your life, I want to see you broken, beaten, defeated. I want you to ask for death and then I'll award it to you.â
You spit at Helsing, âIâm not scared of death.â
He wipes your spit off of his face, a scowl now present, âFor centuries my family has been driving your species to extinction. The failures may eclipse the successes, but don't think that we were never successful. You will fall at the hands of Van Helsing, creature.â
He has a device in his hand, he shoves it into your mouth. It forces your mouth open and your fangs out. He stares at them in awe. You try to clamp your mouth shut or retract your fangs, but you are unable to. You start to panic.
âJust like a snake, de-fang the vampire and a lot of that fear is gone,â his smile is sadistic.
You feel your adrenaline sky rocket as you shake violently. Your eyes wide in terror. The wood stake ripping your skin, but the pain was nothing akin to the fright.
You donât remember the last time you were truly this scared.
He laughs and some of the crowd laugh along with him, âAre you afraid now, demon?â
Tears fall from your eyes and he coos. You flinch at his hand touching your face. His fingers were rough and callused against the swollen skin. You move your head as if to attack him and he stumbles back.
He grabs your jaw roughly, âThis is the power of man.â
âLooks like someone is having a party and forgot to invite us.â
You know that voice. It makes you close your eyes in relief. The panic you felt in the moment begins to dissipate.
Everyone looks to the sky following the sound of the voice. Itâs there that they see Agatha and Rio floating in the sky. Most of the crowd has their mouths agape, not believing what they are seeing.
âShould we offer them mercy, Agatha? Maybe our invites got lost in the mail?â
âThis matter does not concern you foul wenches, be gone,â Helsing says, his voice trembles a bit at the end.
Itâs Agatha that cackles looking down at the man, âSee thatâs where your wrong becauseâŚâ
Rio appears behind the man, her skeletal form on her face, âIf it concerns her, then it concerns us.â
Her dagger lays on his neck and he looses his composure.
âAnyone want to be brave?â Agatha questions the crowd, who screams when she shoots her magic at a nearby tree exploding it.
âWhat happened? A second ago you were lining up to torture her, but now youâre scared,â Rio adds pressure to her dagger.
âDonât get shy now, doctor. Nothing to say?â Agatha gets closer to him.
The group tries to scatter but she traps them in a circle full of fire. Theyâre forced to gather close to each other. Their screams make you smile.
Agatha pulls the device out of your mouth carefully. Her hand caresses your face gently. You lean into her touch.
âWe have to stop meeting like this doll,â Agatha mumbles only for you to hear.
âWe wouldnât have to meet again if you stopped leaving,â you shoot back.
Agatha casts her gaze away from you and over to Helsing. She and Rio switch places. The Green Witch, uses her vines to pull the spikes out of your body. Itâs a feeling that never gets easier to experience.
You land on your feet ignoring the burning sensation. With your back tall you walk over to Helsing. You crouch in front of him, despite your own agony.
You hold his eyes, âFunny, I recall you telling me Iâd beg for death. Well now sheâs here for me, just not in the way you expected is it?â
Rio wiggles her fingers at the doctor, âI loved dragging the souls of your family to eternal damnation, canât wait to reunite you with them.â
âHumans are all the same, always playing with food thatâs not yours,â you stand towering over the man.
âHey I like to play with my food,â Agatha pouts.
You smile, âWhen you have power you can do what you want.â
You open your hand and Rio drops her dagger into your grasp. The crowd watches in panic behind the flames as you approach the man.
âHowever, Iâve never been one to play with my food,â in a swift motion you slit his throat.
The gasps and screams of his followers sounds like music to your ears. He gargles his own blood reaching for his neck.
âYour blood isnât worth drinking,â you watch as he collapses. You turn to address the crowd, âNone of you have worthy blood. Cowards, followers, miscreants, I hope it was worth it. The price is your life, now burn.â
Agatha waves her hand dismissively and the crowd of people are quickly evaporated. Ash and burnt grass the only remnants of the aggressors.
Upon their destruction you crumble to the floor. Your body screaming at you for the abuse you endured.
Rio starts with the wound on your stomach before healing the spiked points. Your body still aches when sheâs finished, but itâs substantially less than before.
âDĂŠjĂ vu isnât it bunny?â Agatha opens the floor for conversation.
âNow isnât the time Agatha,â Rio scolds the woman, who raises her hands in defense.
âI was just reminiscing, is that a crime?â
You stand, âWell, good seeing you. Same time⌠in the next few centuries orâŚâ
âYouâre hurt,â Rio argues.
âYou healed me enough,â you shrug.
Agatha rolls her eyes, âWhatâs with the attitude princess?â
You place a hand on your hip, âWhen was the last time we saw each other, Agatha? Rio, you only come when I leave bodies in my wake. So sorry if Iâm not thrilled it takes me being captured and tortured to get some time together.â
âItâs always been this way,â Agatha argues back.
Your voice takes on an uncharacteristically soft tone, âI know and Iâm tired. I donât want whatever this is. I need something more, something tangible. Itâs fine if you don't want to give that to me, but I can't keep waiting.â
You try to keep calm as you pull the rings off of your fingers, hand out stretched to give them back to their original owners.
âY/nâŚâ
âTake them⌠please. Free me, from whatever this is. Iâm grateful that you saved me on our first day and maybe the same thing happening again is fate telling me that this is our last day,â you get the courage to look at them with teary eyes.
âYou don't even believe in fate,â Agatha tries to reason with you.
âHow would you know, you haven't been around. Things change, people change,â you tell her.
Agatha looks to Rio for help, but The Green Witch, just keeps her eyes on you.
âThatâs bullshit! If change is so real, howâd we end up right back where we started hmm? Poor little hung up bat, in need of saving and here we are like always,â Agathaâs theatrics peak through her words.
âLike always?â You repeat, in disbelief.
âLook sweetheart, I know that-"
You ball your fists at your side, âWhat could you possibly know Agatha? Tell me, Iâm interested in hearing. Did you know I spend all my time waiting for either of you to tell me if you want me or not? I donât sleep, I just think and think and think about finding a way to end it all without having to see either of you. Hard to kill yourself with Death keeping tabs on you, even without a heartbeat. I knew this guy was tracking me, I knew what he wanted to do, and I said fuck it. I donât care, whatâs there to live for anyway?â
âYou can't be serious?â Rio doesnât want to believe what youâre saying.
âOf course Iâm serious, part of me thought that after all these years humans would be over torture, but that was foolish of me. Why would I think that you'd come to save me? I still donât understand why you did.â
âBecause we love you, you fucking idiot!â Agatha shouts at you.
You scoff, âDo you really? I couldnât tell by the hundreds of years apart.â
âWe were protecting you,â Agatha gets in your space.
âWhat could have possibly been protecting me? Oh no, a loving and caring environment? How ever could I have managed such domestic delights and pleasures,â your voice drips sarcasm.
âYou do realize that Rio is Death, right? Her job is literally to reap souls, you arenât the only one that doesnât get to see her often. And me⌠Iâm all trouble, doll. Thereâs not a pleasant bone in my body.â
You roll your eyes and cross your arms over your chest, âDid you forget who I am? Have you had a head trauma recently, or maybe you need a refresher? Iâm not the greatest either, cupcake. I just slit a manâs throat and had his followers executed.â
âBy me,â Agatha points out.
âOk and you want credit for the villages I killed too? The vampires I murdered? The people I lied to? The whores I fucked? Iâm not some sweet innocent thing you picked up off of the side of the road. My ledger has had blood on it since before you killed your original coven.â
Your eyes are red as they stare into her blue ones.
âWe were scared,â Rio interrupts the rising tensions between you and Agatha.
âScared of what?â You glance at her.
âOf committing to you. Hell, Agatha and I canât even fully commit to each other. This game of cat and mouse, itâs all we know. Youâre right, you deserve more, so much more, but we donât know how to give it. We donât know what a domestic life looks like, we arenât domestic people. I didn't think there would be any doubt in your head that we loved you, and maybe that just shows how fucked up we really are,â Rio monologues.
Her words hit you harshly. They make you want to start crying all over again. You cast your gaze to the floor.
âI guess that brings us back to the original point then, doesnât it? Maybe itâs better if we just, end it here,â you canât look at them.
âIf thatâs what you want?â Rio nods solemnly.
Agatha looks between the two of you, âAre you two stupid or something? You have to be if you think Iâm just going to agree to this.â
âAgatha-â
âDonât. I love you, both of you. I donât want this to end and if that means changing the way things operate, then I guess things just have to change,â Agatha speaks seriously.
âWhat are yo-â
You startle when Agatha grabs your hands in both of hers. Her eyes locking fiercely onto yours. She doesnât blink as she speaks, âMove in with me.â
âWhat?â
âYou want time together, we can have time together. Weâve basically been together for centuries, come live with me.â
âAgatha, I think you've lost the plot,â Rio says, cautiously.
âYou too Dr. Green Thumb. Letâs all move in together,â Agatha nods her head.
âThat doesnât fix everything,â you focus on her hands over yours.
She doesnât hesitate to raise her hands to cup your face, âThereâs obviously a lot to fix, but you canât tell me this isnât a step in the right direction. Y/n, I donât want to- I canât lose you. Iâm not willing to let you go without a fight.â
Your face heats in her hands. Her eyes are ablaze with passion as they keep contact with yours.
You sigh and rest your forehead against hers, âI donât know Agatha.â
Rio joins the moment, carefully wrapping her arms around your torso, âI donât think any of us really know, but I think weâre supposed to find out together.â
âPlease,â Agathaâs breath hits your lips. âJust a chance to make up for lost time. If it doesnât work, then it doesnât, but please donât give up on us yet.â
Hearing Agatha beg like this tugs at your heart. You donât want to give in this easily, but youâve already wasted so much time.
âOk.â
As the word falls from your lips, Agatha surges forward. You can recall the last time her lips were on yours. The warmth that they were able to send through your body. How firm she was in her kiss, not scared or uncertain as your lips moved together. She knew what she wanted and it was hard to picture a world in which sheâd kiss someone she wasnât interested in the way she was kissing you. You were the one she wanted.
Your legs grow weak, but Rio holds you steady. Her shifting grip, makes you turn to face her. Unlike Agatha she hesitates. She takes a moment to admire your features, she wasnât in a rush. Neither were you. Rioâs kiss is softer than Agathaâs, her plush lips, move experimentally against yours. Itâs not like sheâs forgotten, more like sheâs re-exploring. She's playful, as her teeth nibble on your bottom lip. You laugh at the sensation.
Rio rests her head on your shoulder. She extends her hands, motioning for the other witch to get closer. Agatha wraps her arms around the both of you. Her front to your back while her hands rest on Rioâs back. Youâre encased by them, a feeling that is welcomed yet foreign to you.
âPromise that you'll keep me closeâ you say to both of them.
âUntil the road ends, my love,â Agatha kisses the top of your head.
âIâll hold you even after the road ends,â Rio kisses the base of your neck.
âDo you always have to one up me?â Agatha says to Rio.
Rio chuckles, âSounds like a skill issue sweetheart.â
âOh, weâll see who has a skill issue later, when youâre begging me for help because my fingers are longer than yours,â Agatha says smugly.
Rio pulls back from you to glare at Agatha, âIf you donât want to âhelpâ me, Iâll just ask Y/n. Isnât that right sweetheart?â
You blush at the innuendo.
âNuh uh, bunny. I think I recall you liking my treats better, because someone has a skill issue,â Agatha sticks her tongue at Rio.
You turn an even deeper shade of red.
âYou can never let an emotional moment be,â Rio says.
âWell youâre always trying to out âemotionalâ me,â Agatha replies.
âItâs not my fault youâre not as smooth as me, mi vida,â Rio counters again.
Agatha throws her hands up, âI know Spanish and Latin too, youâre not special Vidal.â
Rio raises an eyebrow, âAnd who taught you?â
The back and forth makes you laugh, âAre you sure you donât do domestic, because you bicker like an old married couple?â
They both huff at your statement.
âWeâll continue this at home,â Agatha points at Rio.
The brown eyed woman puts her hand over her heart in faux-fear, âOooo, Iâm terrified.â
Agatha opens a portal to her house and both women step through. Not stopping their bickering for a second. You smile as you watch them, feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time.
âThe portal isnât going to stay open forever, bunny, come on,â Agatha reaches her hand to pull you through.
You take it, stepping into your new beginning.

i don't think it actually clicked for y'all that pure consciousness is just a state of consciousness
i wrote this post basically to explain three different states of consciousness. the awake state, sleep state, and pure consciousness. you can't force yourself to become neither.
we all know that we can't force ourselves to sleep, however we can do things that can help us slip into the sleep state. just as we can't force ourselves to sleep, we can't force ourselves to induce pure consciousness. we can do things that can help us slip into the pure state of consciousness, but we can't force our states of consciousness to switch to the other. people may say "delta waves is the cheat-code to enter the void" but it's not. delta waves is a tool, and tools are meant to help us.
aside from that, and for the centillionth time, the void state is not an actual void you're transporting yourself into. it's not a void outside of you, nor a void inside of you. now hear me out again. it is not a void literally inside of you. it is not a place. you're not being transported or travelling anywhere. you're not travelling into your mind. it is simply awareness. what you are aware and not aware of.
when you are pure consciousness, you aren't aware of anything happening in the 3d, cuz your focus was away from the 3d. when we're pure consciousness, our mind is active cuz our focus is only on our thoughts cuz we are thinking, or our focus is only on our daydreams cuz we are daydreaming, or whatever our inner voice (the one you're probably using to read this post) is saying. we are being aware of our 4d.
everything is awareness. whatever you place your awareness (focus) on, will manifest the state of consciousness you'll be experiencing.
when you think of pure consciousness as an actual void that'll manifest all your desires instantly, and not a state of consciousness where you're only aware of your 4d, you will find yourself jumping from method to method, cuz you're seeing pure consciousness for something it's not. you think too highly of a state of consciousness.
when you're awake, is the word 'awake' constantly on your mind before you wake up? do you try your hardest to wake up? do you stress about being able to wake up? do you become anxious by the thought of waking up?
how about when you're asleep? is the word 'sleep' constantly in your mind before you sleep? do you try your hardest to be able to sleep? do you stress about being able to sleep? do you become anxious by the thought of sleeping?
so what's the actual difference with pure consciousness? you can manifest while you're awake, and you can manifest while you're asleep. you can manifest in literally any state of consciousness... so what's the actual difference?
when y'all understand that awake, asleep, and pure consciousness are all on the same level, then you'll realise that all the mental gymnastics y'all like to perform were for nothing. y'all don't see sleeping nor being awake as all that... do the same with pure consciousness.
and stop thinking too hard about pure consciousness too! đđŠˇ

Oh boy okay I think my smallest / least known fave is Ambersun (formerly known as Albion, changed because of how many other bands have the same name), and I am begging everyone to listen to this band because seriously it is so good.
Summary: it's a power metal band which I think may be basically a one man show plus various guest vocalists I'm not sure, which does story-based concept albums based on different works of fiction. Possibly qualifies as Rock Operas? Anyway I love "fandom music" and this is one of my all time favorites even though two of the albums are for "I don't even go here" fandoms and the other is for a book I found through the music, because the sound is awesome, the lyrics are awesome, and you can just hear the passion put into them.
I'm now going to post a bunch of lyrics under the cut please please please listen to these songs. Actually just listen to the albums in order, this is one of those bands where the songs are already good as standalones but you really need to listen to the full album to get the full experience.
We are lost, in an endless night, the sun drained from our eyes
Gone, when we sold our lives to the plague that stole the sky
"Life Before Death," from The Poison Skies
Erased and they don't care, but you would still be here if only you'd stayed, been mine only mine
It's so unfair to leave me, the tribe I formed deceived me, but now I'll fight in your name
There's no way to hide from their stare,
I still feel their eyes everywhere
And the hatred that clouds all their minds, it hides the truth of it all
"Out In the Wilds" from The Poison Skies
The one to keep the noble name, to carry all their hopes and dreams, a future severed when one night became forever
"Run" from The Poison Skies. This. Freaking. Song. Has changed me. "Run" is a banger on its own, but reading The Afflicted and reaching the scene this song is about made it so much better and also slightly painful. Which can be said about the entirety of The Poison Skies but this song especially, because the entire song is a character high on adrenaline, deluding himself into believing he can actually pull off the promise he made to his friends that he was going to survive the badass self-sacrificing stunt he was pulling. Also I have no idea how I have not gotten a speeding ticket while playing this in the car yet.
Visions that I can't erase, every time I see her face,
She reminds me of how I never tried
Now I watch us as we fall, can't help anyone at all,
Why did I alone survive?
Survivor's Guilt!
"Survivor's Guilt" from The Poison Skies
This worthless weapon symbolizes who I am
Remaining silent, offer no resistance,
And I become the iron mask
"Disappear" from The Poison Skies
Survive one last dance through the wind and the cold,
We can't change our stories, but they still can be told
"Snow" from The Poison Skies
Sealed in cryogenic cold, I'll dive into the dark, reanimate your soul
Together we will rise up hand in hand this blackened night
"Morning" from The Day the Night Slept
I'll burn in the night, I'll light up the sky, you'll see,
And I'll be the Scorpion's Fire!
"The Scorpion's Fire" from The Day the Night Slept
Lost in the night, but still he survives
I'll tear apart time so his heart never dies
"Asriel Must Be Saved" from Buried Souls. Yes this is exactly what it sounds like from the title. A 15 minute musical fix fic about finding a way of saving Asriel Dreemur from Undertale with some sort of timeline fuckery I don't understand because I haven't played the game. And it's glorious.
Mighty wheels will turn again, flames of faith ignite
Chase the legend of the sun, and bathe our world in light
"Bring Back the Sun," currently a single release.
enough about taylor swift already. reblog and tag the smallest, least known artist you listen to

on the one hand I think inner demons could stand to have a bit more romanced rook specific content, but on the other hand the underlying in-built implication that 'yours is the one true voice of comfort and safety in my inner world' is a sentiment and intimacy so way beyond the romantic or the platonic or any secret third thing you could care to name that it makes me lose my entire poor little mind a bit. it's so big and fundamental â near-existential â that in that exact moment at least the distinctions kind of seem irrelevant.
all the people lucanis' mind conjures up along the way are relationships he has that are unavoidably mixed and fraught in some ways even when they're also full of love (they are fraught BECAUSE they're full of love) â the good in them inseparable from things that hurt him at the same time. (it's about: the basic disorganized attachment patterns this poor guy is dragging around with him. careful with those, they're dellamorte heirlooms. what you love also inevitably hurts you and you won't be allowed to have one without the other, you have to surrender parts of your soul to hold on to what little you have left: this is the story up until now.) and the idea that rook isn't that to him â that beneath the fear of wanting them when romanced (which is more its own separate thing because within this psychology, actively wanting something and not just clinging on for dear life to even a meager status quo lest you lose it is in itself dangerous bordering on catastrophic), this is a relationship where there isn't resentment, or guilt, or shame, or dread, or rage, or self-hate, or any of the other emotions that keep him paralyzed, unable to move this way or that. no debts, nothing owed of yourself and your soul's substance except what you can freely and safely and happily give. love and freedom don't coexist â but, I mean, you're almost starting to make me think........... unless...đđđ. the unconditional and undramatic 'you are here and I am here with you, you can be exactly how you are right now with me and it's safe for us both even though you're afraid it won't be, I'm not going anywhere' acceptance rook shows him here that he returns to them in the big romance scene, when it's rook who needs it. the way he's just. standing there in the center of it all, like a child desperately helplessly waiting to be found, hiding in the place he hopes you'll know to look first. (rook does know. it's one of the first things they say in there.)
in short the most important room in his little mind palace for the romance is the very first room â the one where rook isn't. where, in fact, rook cannot be, because they disprove the entire structure of the place with their existence and presence in his life. with everyone else he's putting words in their mouths about what they think of him, and rook is the one who actually gets to come in to speak their own words to him â and have him listen. ('he'll listen to you, he always listens to you', 'your voice is a comfort'.) of course rook isn't present anywhere else in there â at the risk of stating the obvious to a tedious degree, they aren't one of the locks, they're bringing the key. in the very finest 'the messenger and the message' sort of way.
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#rook x lucanis#rookanis#dragon age meta#rook is his first brush with actual safe attachment. and to me and because of who I am as a person#nothing could be more romantically devastating or impactful fhdsjkfhs that's literally the unreachable wistful dream the pie in the sky#the garrus romance echoes too. some of the same stuff going on under the hood here#you know who else he's sneakily like too actually? iron bull. the 'no matter where I turn I'll hurt someone I love' and dissociation stuff#there's that whole line about 'walking close to the edge or whatever'#which is masterful as a diversion b/c what this romance is really about is feeling truly safe with someone#in a sort of weirdly realistic way that makes it struggle with the conventions of video game romance but sure is Doing something!#and I unwittingly made a rook who also is on that specific arc so it's working out just devastating for me thanks for asking#the part in andrea gibson's 'prism' that's like. there is no shelter in the womb it's where you learn the cord that feeds you#could at any moment wrap around your neck. I think that's the initial understanding of love here. which is not good. if you think about it.#I don't think I really write these kinds of posts btw I just black out for a while and when I wake up from the trance I too#get to read what the fuck I've been thinking about finally. corralling that raging electric storm#that keeps overtaking my neurons at regular intervals and translating it into if not sense then certainly words. lots of words#no one is ever more surprised than me to find out what i'm thinking and feeling

Everyone wants to talk about how Senshi is a tumblr sexyman but...Senshi is actually attractive. Like even aside from the fact that he's pretty good-looking he's a nice, sweet guy and he can cook and loves doing it. He's a perfectly eligible candidate for marriage, which kind of goes against the spirit of a tumblr sexyman.
Chilchuck, however? Chilchuck is a tumblr sexyman. What the fuck do you people see in him
#i don't hate chilchuck or anything i just have no idea what about him is actually attractive#i'm very confused about this#dungeon meshi#gray posts

aww, iâm getting war flashbacks đĽ°
this is both my most successful post on tumblr and my least favorite post of all time. simply because of how much pure hatred i got for it. i received sooo many asks and messages insulting me and telling me to get off the app. someone literally sent me an ask and told me to shoot myself. (that was fun!) it was before i was an experienced poster, and therefore didnât know how much i need to justify some statements
people were mad about two things:
1) that i implied that percy would drink. which i understand, because of gabe. and i can admit that yes, he probably does have an aversion to the smell of beer and might not drink it. but also i think itâs ignorant to think we can predict percyâs behaviorâliterally one of his defining traits is being unpredictable. and oftentimes, the assumption relies on him associating drinking with bad people, but sally drinks wine on a daily basis and heâs completely good with it, so that idea doesnât really hold up. anyway, yeah, maybe percy wouldnât drink. i can totally see that. but also percy deserves to be a normal college kid and not let his past trauma define his potential experiences. if he was with annabeth and his friends, i can totally see him having a drink or two and letting loose. i just want him to be allowed to be a normal irresponsible teenager/young adult for once. sue me đ
2) i referred to him as a frat boy. and wow did that get taken out of context. which is definitely my fault, for not clarifying. i didnât mean heâs actually a frat boy, because obviously new rome isnât gonna have greek life lol. i also wasnât implying that heâs stupid or superficial or an asshole. i just said that because in heroes of olympus, when percy is around jason, thereâs a lot of sizing each other up, joking around, and heavy bromance going on. like i canât even count how often percy says âbroâ and âdude.â which is very frat boy. and i think if percy was in a college setting, not stressed or in near-death situations all the time, and around more people like jason, thereâs a good chance he would be a more fun and easy going person than what we often see. when percy is actually comfortable in his environment (which isnât often) he seems to be more extroverted. but idk maybe he would be shy? who knows. it was just a little thought
so anyway, definitely not my best-phrased post. i would do it differently, now. but its fun remembering how much pure anxiety this post filled me with as angry people rained down hell on me đ
imagine being someone at new rome university and not knowing percy is the same guy as âpercy jackson, son of poseidon, two-time hero of olympus, former praetorâ because the thought doesnât even cross your mind. like⌠heâs percy. heâs a total frat boy. on a normal night, he walks into a party, refers to everyone as bro or dude, socializes with every living (and not-living) person in the room, makes at least 50 sarcastic comments, plays 12 rounds of beer pong, drinks way too much, and then skates around campus on his skateboard yelling âI LOVE NEW YORKâ (which makes no sense, because theyâre in california) until someone calls his girlfriend to come get him.
and then one day thereâs an attack, and frat boy percy is all of a sudden a fighting machine. heâs yelling battle cries alongside the praetors frank zhang and hazel levesque as they lead everyone into battle. (why is he with the praetors? and whyâŚ. why in the world do the praetors seem to be following his lead?) his sword slashes through armies of monsters faster than youâve ever seen. heâs controlling the entire river surrounding the camp, creating huge waves as tall as skyscrapers that crash down all around him, wiping out monsters and causing mass destruction to his enemiesâ ranks. the sky is suddenly dark above you, ice-cold water droplets are slashing through the air, and the wind is blowing so aggressively that itâs making it hard to stand up steadily. because heâs somehow created a hurricane.
and he looks terrifying. you can feel the power radiating off of him. heâs like a god. or maybe a monster. itâs hard to tell. youâre a little scared of him, to be honest. but also in total awe, because itâs extraordinary. heâs extraordinary.
frat boy percy is not who you thought he was.
#iâm pretty sure someone told me to fall into tartarus too lol#it was awful then and i was INCREDIBLY stressed and upset#but now itâs a bit funny looking back#oh the joys of social media#gotta love it#percy jackson#pjo#pjo headcanons

The second you start talking about some mysterious "they" that are controlling society in some fashion, you are engaging in dangerous conspiratorial thinking even if you're being woke about it. "They" did not institute the 40 hour work week specifically so you would be too tired to revolt. "They" did not invent the sleek minimalist aesthetic in order to crush the spirit of art in the common people. "They" are not pushing mediocre media into the mainstream in order to poison people's critical thinking skills.
Your best case scenario after that is you talk to someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about and you get embarrassed because you can't answer basic questions about your own ideology because you never learned anything past "the ruling class/capitalists/politicians are making things bad and if we got rid of them the bad things would all go away!"
Your worst case scenario is obviously the woo-to-fascist pipeline and you end up believing Jews are poisoning American food supplies with GMOs in order to turn us all into beta cucks, so like . . . maybe just stop blaming "them" before you fall down that route.
Obligatory round of disclaimers: Yes, sometimes people do bad things. Be specific about exactly who is doing what instead of ascribing it to some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, sometimes things in society are bad. Learn to identify the root causes of complex social issues instead of assuming that they're actually extremely simple to fix and we're just not doing it because of some vague group of shadowy elites. Yes, minimalism isn't for everyone. Learn that some people don't share your tastes and get the fuck over it for the love of god.
#surprise! this was actually just my way of complaining that that 'classical tutor' post is going around again#complaining about the degeneracy of modern society because our cars aren't colorful enough or whatever#what if i told you that sometimes societal tastes and customs change naturally over time#and not because of targeted interference from vague groups of shadowy elites#anyway! be specific in your words and actually work to understand the underlying causes of things#and above all else understand that sometimes people just like things that you don't like#and that's not a conspiracy. it's not even hard to understand. like come on people#skepticism umbrella

February 1, 2012:
Star outline (Harry) - FN [Harry's 1st tattoo]
June 15, 2012:Â
Wont' stop til we surrender (Harry) - Paul Nguyen [Harry's 2nd tattoo]
Meta: Harry got this tattoo about 10 days after Eleanor left the U.S. for the first time on the U.S. leg of the Up All Night tour. It was 2 days before she returned. It was at the beginning of the heightened closeting and increased Elounor pap shots.Â
It is also important to note that this is a modified version of the song lyric from "Sweet Disposition" by Temper Trap.Â
youtube
The song lyric as it is actually written/sung:
We won't stop 'til it's over Won't stop to surrender
Harry made the lyrics "won't stop 'til we surrender," using parts of each line to make it about more than one person in a struggle against something or someone else.Â
The next day, on June 16th, Ed Sheeran did the show where he said Harry was "taken" and answered "Innit?" when a fan said "By Louis."Â
June 23, 2012*:Â
Hi (Harry) - Unknown [Harry's 3rd tattoo]
A for his mum (Anne) on forearm (Harry) - Unknown [Harry's 4th tattoo]
Meta: We did not see these two tattoos until June 23 at the Dallas show. Zayn has said in an interview that he "drew" the A on Harry's arm. This might mean he actually tattooed Harry himself.Â
The "Hi" tattoo appears to be in Louis' handwriting. Just days after the tattoo appeared, Louis appeared very interested in a radio host's tattoo, asking twice if it was in her handwriting. The interview took place in Tampa on June 29.Â
Harry: âWhat does this say?â. Boring stuff about this girlâs tattooed arm. Louis: âDid you write it yourself?â. Everyone: ââŚâ. Louis: âIs that your handwriting?â
In Miami, on July 1st, Harry revealed it said "Hi" but was very coy about it. Liam then declared it his favorite tattoo (out of 4 at the time, but it counts, god damn it) and looked right at Louis. Â
Same, Liam.
The "Hi" tattoo seems especially poignant as it came in the middle of a heavy Eleanor presence and Elounor push and Harry had Louis possibly tattoo a word on him in Louis' own handwriting. At the very least, he got a word in Louis' handwriting tattooed on himself. Almost like a brand.Â
July 27, 2012*:
I CAN'T CHANGE... (Harry) - LS [Harry's 5th tattoo]
Birdcage (Harry) - LS [Harry's 6th tattoo]
I think Liam Sparkes did the "I can't change..." tattoo, which we first saw July 27, 2012, because the lettering and tone is identical to these kinds of tattoos that Liam Sparkes does:
I think this is also most likely the day Harry got the birdcage tattoo, which I think is a Liam Sparkes design.Â
This is significant, because it places Liam early in Harry's tattoo timeline, making the stuff to come in October more important.Â
August 9, 2012*:Â
Hanger (Harry) - Unknown Artist [Harry's 7th tattoo]
I think it's possible this was done by Liam Sparkes on July 27th, as well.Â
Meta: The "I can't change," birdcage with no door and hanger are the most obvious and heavy-handed series of anti-closeting tattoos Harry has gotten to date. All 3 came between very public Elounor appearances: the France trip in early July and the Olympics on August 10th-12th.Â
August 13, 2012:
Padlock (Harry) - Ed Sheeran [Harry's 8th tattoo]
17BLACKÂ (Harry) - KP [Harry's 9th tattoo]
Pingu (Harry) - KP [Harry's 10th tattoo]
Iced Gem (Harry) - KP [Harry's 11th tattoo]
Meta: Ed & Harry got tattoos together the night after the closing ceremonies of the Olympics 2012. In this article from August 14, Kevin Paul (the tattoo artist) says:
I did a couple of bits on him last night [âŚ] Theyâre really personal to him - the reasons he had them done and stuff, so he doesnât really want to announce what they are [âŚ] One was something from his childhood, and another one was something really important in his life.
I think it's possible the "iced gem" for Gemma is the "something from his childhood." I think the 17BLACK is the "something really important in his life", because I doubt a matching cartoon-themed penguin tattoo he got with Ed is important enough to be coy about. Ed did the padlock, so Kevin wasn't talking about that one.
August 21, 2012:
Never Gonna/Dance Again (Harry) - TA [Harry's 12th tattoo]
"Bigâ on big toe (Harry) - TA [Harry's 13th tattoo]
September 4, 2012:
"Gemma" in Hebrew (Harry) - FN [Harry's 14th tattoo]
Shamrock (Harry) - FN [Harry's 15th tattoo]
Freddy Negrete posted a picture of Harry from the night of the 4th to his instagram the next day on September 5th.
September 8, 2012:
Green Bay Packers logo (Harry) - FN [Harry's 16th tattoo]
Drama Masks/SMCLÂ (Harry) - FN [Harry's 17th tattoo]
Filled in star (Harry) - FN [Harry's 18th tattoo]
You can see the same flash sheets in the mirror next to Harry's arm as in this picture from Freddy's instagram account.
Meta: Louis was most likely with him on this night. He is in the far right side of the picture. You can see his butt, legs and shoes with his rolled jeans.
Here Louis is carrying the shoes from around the same time:
(the shoelace is not important to this...it was the only pic I could find)
Louis also tweeted "ouch :(" on the same night:
After this trip, Freddy Negrete responded to a fan via instagram [link not working anymore] that "Harry wanted "a big [tattoo]" on his chest when he was in LA again.Â
Late September 2012:
2 Cross with K & MÂ (Harry) - LS [Harry's 19th tattoo]
LOVE Banner (Harry) - LS [Harry's 20th tattoo]
Meta: These were done in late September, I think. It was after the drama masks but before the "Kiss You" video shoot which was late October.Â
If Harry did, in fact, have a large chest piece in mind in early September, it's possible he may have been thinking of the birds by this point. It then might make sense that he would get the "LOVE" banner and then cover it up so soon afterwards. It could have been a part of his design. This is a Liam Sparkes design that includes birds placed similarly to Harry's with banners and the words "true" and "love" beneath:

TIMELINE: TATTOOS TO DATE
This is organized by date. All tattoos are linked to photos, unless they are major tattoos I want to talk about, in which case I have inserted the photos into the post. (Special thanks to thelegohouselove and their wonderful tattoo masterposts with pictures)
Dates are dates I believe they actually got the tattoos. If I canât find a date they got the tattoo, I have indicated it with a â*â which is the first date we saw the tattoo.Â
Before we begin, fun facts that might blow your mind:
Harry has 56 tattoos that we know of.
Louis 38 tattoos that we know of.Â
Harry got 30 of his 56 tattoos between June and October 2012. Thatâs, on average, about 8/month.
Louis got 10 of his 37 between October and December 2012. Thatâs, on average, about 5/month.
The most Harry ever got on one day is 4. He got 13 in a 7 day period in October 2012. The most Louis ever got on one day was 5 on February 25 of 2013.
Artist counts for Harry: Tom Atkins (10); Liam Sparkes (10); Freddy Negrete (8); Kevin Paul (3).Â
Artist counts for Louis: Skunx (7); Liam Sparkes (4); Freddy Negrete (4).
Some of this stuff isnât an exact science. Some of it is me making an educated guess, especially involving some of Harryâs tattoos in October and Louisâ âThe Rogueâ vs. âIt is what it isâ and Harryâs 3 Nails. So bear that in mind.Â
Over all, this should give you a good idea of just how much the tattoos seem to be an outlet during highly-closeted and stressful times (Harryâs June-October spree that gave way to the birds, ship & compass and butterfly and Louisâ October-December Haylor spree), not only in date alone, but also in the subject of the tattoo.
Thank you to Kerry, Jess & awesomeanonfriend for the cheerleading and fact-checking and Angela for her insight.Â
Letâs do this.
