#they're pretry good

[calico-strawberry]

Engage's supports may not be go as deep or serious as Three Houses overall (those type of supports still exist of course, but more so at the frequency of older games rather than 3H) but let me assure y'all they're still very high quality.

Sure as hell got plenty of chuckles from me.

[dark-twist-fairytales]

*throws more blankets at you while also sending hugs* Okay, let's see...screw it, crossover. Your characters playing Among Us, what are they like? Doesn't have to be in depth or anything

*takes blanket (and your hugs) in a tight wrap*

"Doesn't have to be in depth", you know who you're talking to, right? If it gets too long, I'll put it under a cut. It'll be both Imposter and Crewmate (I'm basic, shhh), and which one they prefer playing as. Edit: It got too long with Ezhno alone. It's under the cut.

Ezhno Nies ArcCoil

Ezhno doesn't play many mobile games that aren't one handed, so he wouldn't have a lot of experience playing. On a computer, it's a little different, but generally still the same rules applies. He actually prefers playing imposter, since it's less buttons to focus on, and he's surprisingly good at it. He's silent in chatting and allows others to give alibis. Unless it's voice chat, then he actually talks. On crewmate, he's DEFINITELY the last one to get his tasks done, even in ghost form. It's just difficult for him to move fast.

Keegan Moore

Keegan isn't a fan of Among Us, since he just hates lying. If he does play, he prefers crewmate, as he likes to focus on tasks. He is the type of person to ignore dead bodies right beside him and get accused of being imposter and getting voted out. Generally pretry quiet in chat, since he's not good at communicating, same thing with voice chat. If he does get imposter, there's a 50/50 shot of him leaving the game and entering a new lobby. Only time he doesn't is with friends, but you can TELL he's imposter, since he votes himself to leave.

Malli Till

Oh, lord, do NOT give this boy imposter. He likes playing Among Us, and tries to play both sides of it, but he likes being crewmate and sneaking around. Being the imposter is anxiety inducing to him, especially if his partner leaves the game, or it's a single-imposter game. He's more chatty in game than he is in real life, both voice and messages.

Riker Larsen

He'll try to play casually, but ends up getting WAY competitive. He's the type of guy to throw his phone on the bed and scream in anguish like his first born just got killed in front of him at a loss of a very good game. And the go about his day like nothing happened. He likes both roles and takes them both seriously. He's also the guy to start with the questions 'who and where' to the person who found the body.

Joey Garcia

They're the type of person to just do what they're told by the game, silently do it, but throw in false information to cause. chaos. Like, people learn to take her information like a penny in a pocket to a rich man. They just love it. There are some points where they take it seriously, but mostly, just being chaos.

Kyro Davis

Uh.. Kyro doesn't actually know WHAT Among Us is. They've owned a pager or Nokia for most of their life. They have no clue what mobile games actually are. If they did play, they'd just be very confused of what the fuck is happening.

Marc Åström

He doesn't actually have mobile games on his phone, the only game he has is Minesweeper, and a few games that Gremlin has downloaded. He mostly uses his phone for communication, and prefers playing arcade games like pinball, Fix-it Felix, or Pac-Man. He also likes the coin pushers, oddly. But, yeah. Has never touched a console, computer, or mobile game that wasn't a basic.

Damen Michaels

Fucking LOVES playing imposter. Right out the bat. Being able to act sneaky and corner someone to kill them, using doors and lights to his advantage. This boy has developed strategy from playing as imposter so much. Honestly? 9 times out of 10, he's the type of person to make Riker rage, because he's just good at it. He's also good at being crewmate and guessing who the imposter is, but he loves being imposter himself.

" and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved.”"

♡♡♡ The something else♡♡♡

♡ Your posture - it changes how you look, your clothes, and how others percieve you, and honestly? You feel better, more confident

♡Your manners - be polite to other people no matter who, please amd thank you go a long way.

-watch a couple of youtube videos on elegance and good manners

♡ Your clothing - this isnt about luxury or expensive brands!!

- Be sure that your clothes fit you well! Try on your clothes and see which ones need better fitting, you can fix and mend them yourself if you have the means (its what I do!) Or you can take them to a seamstress or a taylor.

- Figure out your personal coloring (I like the 12 seasons one!) This way is easier to see which clothing, makeup and jewery better suits you (I belive I'm a dark autum)

- Fix your clothes! They can have a much longer life than you think, re-dye them if needed (specially jeans), chek out embroidery or visible mending to fix little holes and such, turn old clothes in to new ones (I made a pretry dress from a pair of pants that didnt fit me anymore).

-Iron your clothes! Theres no use to have well fitting, beautiful clothes if they're looking all frumpy (this is one I'm particular guilty of, I can be lazy with ironing)

7 graphic novels in 7 days // day 7

I have finished this challenge on a high note. Today's book is Salvezza by Marco Rizzo and Lelio Bonaccorso. This book is the result of the experience of the two authors who stayed for 3 weeks on the Aquarius, a ship used by SOS Méditerranée, in collaboration with other associations, to help migrants in the Libyan sea. This was graphic journalism done in the best way possible, it's very simple and straight forward. You are presented with the experiences of the migrants, but you also see how these ships work and what the crew has to do. The illustrations were perfect, the art was good, but the strong point was the idea of using only neutral colours plus the colour orange. Orange is the colour that symbolizes safety and help when you're at sea, and it was a very elegant choice to implement that, it gave so much more to the whole book. I was afraid that, since the topic of this graphic novel is pretry heavy, the book could have been a bit challenging to read, but it was so well done I read it in one sitting. There are enough explanations for you to understand every bit of the story and how things work, but they're also incredibly accessible. I feel like this was an exeptionally good way to share this kind of story, and this reality that many people try to ignore in their day to day lives.

[spongebob-connoisseur]

Idk why I got a very horrible feeling that they might end Spongebob at S13. But I also think that's not possible bc Spongebob is Nick's only source for money. But I just realized how much they're airing TLH (Blechhh) more than Spongebob and sometimes it even gets more views. I mean it's not like I'm saying they should stop airing that show and only air Spongebob, by that I mean is that they didn't air all episodes from S12 (Only a few) in the US. (Idk abt other countries).

I got quite a few asks after I went to sleep! But I'm happy to answer!

I hope the show doesn't end on the 13th. I know everything must come to an end but if the show could hold out and last a little longer so it could end on my lucky number as it's final season would be great.

Jokes aside tho I'm not quite sure about the future of spongebob. It certainly isn't as popular as it once was before. Merchandise basically disappeared where I live and my friend was even telling me the other day that it's pretty surreal how it used to be everywhere then suddenly disappeared in recent years.

I don't keep up with nick as a channel tho since I've never watched spongebob on Nick and I don't have cable but I heard views for newer episodes are declining. Still the show holds prime time and gets aired frequently. Only once did it not air for a day on nickelodeon and that's very recent which could be spongebob losing its grasp on the network but I don't really think it's so alarming? Like one day doesn't really do anything, I didn't even know Nick literally played it every single day for 10+ years so it's okay. The show is still popular. There was an article from quite recently that SB is still the most popular cartoon in north america so it's still doing pretty good. I know season 12 wasn't complete before put on dvd though most episodes from season 12 already aired (idk in the US) only the last few didn't. I assumed maybe it has something to do with Covid? It's a stretch but it's just a guess.

Now some might be concerned by things like the recent episodes since they aren't that popular (they get a lot of hate from the funky expressions) and that's a possibility. Generally the new movie can hint what the newer seasons might be like and all I can guess is that spongebob is going to be more cooperate and business focused with things like spinoffs and stuff instead of the show itself. There's also that super bowl short they made where Sandy explains football to Spongebob and it got well liked. I'm assuming it was made after the movie and people, even classic fans liked it since it was calmer than the usual expressiveness of season 12 (though I usually take their opinion with a grain of salt) so there might be some hope?

There's also the fact of the new spongebob movie and how well it preformed. It got pretty hated by the usual cartoon reviewers. Probably for the connections with camp coral. Though the movie had good reviews when it was exclusively released in Canada in theatres. It was also number one kids movie in France for a while and was trending in Japan (I've heard spongebob is pretry popular in Japan anyways) so I think internationally it did pretty good. Even people who didn't really keep up with the show liked the movie.

I can see spongebob probably still staying popular. Not as much as before and Nick starting to relax it's hold on SB and give other shows a chance. We can't be sure for the future until we actually see season 13 and I hope it's good enough to keep the show going.

Whatever might happen, I'm okay with it. I look forward tot he future of spongebob and even if it ends, it had a good run. I enjoy it and like rewatching it. It's not really over until you stop enjoying it. With that being said, spongebob will continue to live on within our hearts and in our minds.

* Golden Dawn

it's pulled from the Golden Dawn (via Crowley, from the letters between him and Gardner). I'm not sure whether it necessarily has as much in common with stuff like Thelema, which is what's more like Crowley's only.

Just a minor correction.

adding on further my opinion/ things to watch for/ etc re: Wicca under the cut because idk how to stfu

garlicthevampire, if you look at the Wikipedia articles on both Wicca and Golden Dawn, you'll see what their tenets are and what to watch out for because they've influenced the majority of the modern witchcraft and paganism movement(s) in the West. like, Llewyn has a lot to do with that yes, but I don't think they're the only reason?

Anyway, both GD and Wicca love the concepts of Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine, and the dichotomy thereof. Which in of itself is not necessarily bad or terrible. Those concepts/ archetypes can be useful. but those systems leave no room for anything which lies outside that dichotomy, for anything that just is None Of The Above.

Grey also mentioned all the appropriation: GD more than Wicca uses Kabbalism which is a closed practice; it's Jewish.

Wicca's Wheel of the Year really works well for many modern pagans by splitting up the Gregorian (modern) calendar pretry evenly. But it pulls from a combination of Anglo-Saxon and Celtic holidays. (and "Celtic" is such an umbrella term like paganism: there's Irish and Scottish and Welsh and so many other cultures that fall under that umbrella which are vastly different.)

Appropriation is not good because it causes harm to the marginalized communities that stuff is appropriated from so that's why they don't want you to do it.

But aside from that, I wouldn't say there is such a thing as a system or religion being Bad tm. Wanting to make sure you Do It Right Tm is your cultural Christianity rearing its ugly head. Breathe. Don't let the puritanical panic get to you, newbie.

hi! i'm a new witch and don't know much, i hi! Im a new witch and i was gonna research wicca but now im having second thoughts, could you elaborate on why you don't like it or why people should avoid it? i'm genuinely curious, i don't want my practice to accidentally involve somthing bad

Well it depends on the approach. Wicca as a spiritual or religious practice is (mostly) harmless. From this perspective the worst aspect of it is the cultural appropriation. But I would say that all of it is bad. It just contains some unnatural religious syncretism.

That said, as a tradition or practice of witchcraft it is simply put wholly ineffective and downright harmful. As a occult practice, it is pretty much a 1:1 duplication of Crowley- who was not only a piece of shit, but was also batshit. As an occult practice, it relies nearly entirely on correspondences and visualization. Like Crowley’s work, it contains just enough stuff that sounds and feels right (appropriated) that it seems like it could work- but it’s a mashing of metaphysics and magical ideas without any of the important contexts that made the ideas functional. Like Reiki and The Law of Attraction, it’s basically just make believe. I am writing an article about this where I’ll go more in depth and provide sources but I have no timeline for its completion. Maybe this summer.

I wouldnt say Wicca is bad. It’s just ineffective. Magically speaking the worst thing is that publishers like Llewelyn have made Wiccan magic so prominent that finding other practices becomes difficult.

YOU. YOU GET IT.

ALSO. I realised on the drive home that they could very likely use All Might as a bargaining tool in order to get Deku to come along with them with him fighting too much.

Like??? I know that grenade didnt kill him, but it did probably jostle him around enough for the villains to be able to restrain him.

"Come with us quietly or Smol Might be gets it."

And what do you think Dkeu is gonna do??? HE'S GONNA DO WHAT EVE THEY SAY. BECAUSE ITS ALLMIGHT!!! YOU THINK HE'S GONNA LET THEM HURT HIS MENTOR!??! like if the villains do any kind of research on deku they're gonna realize that All Mkght is a very important part of his life and Deku's already been shown to put his life on the line for people he doesnt even know, so for some one he cares about?!?!? YEAH HE'S GONNA DO WHAT THEY SAY. So HAVING ALL MIGHT IS A PRETRY DANG GOOD BARGANING CHIP.

(And then this would be the perfect time for All Might to bust out some Hero moves proving that even though he doesnt have his quirk anymore he was still the number one hero and the villains shouldnt have underestimated him >:) )

Me, seeing posts about deku getting kidnapped: intrigued but unsurprised

Me, actually reading the chapter: EXCUSE ME, YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE OUT THE ADULTS WATCHING HIM.

EXCUSE ME E X C U S E M E E E E!!! ALL MIGHT! ALL MIGHT ARE YOU OKAY?!? YOU BETTER BE!!! WHY HAVE I ONLY SEE LIKE ONE POST ABOUT THIS
