שָׁאוּל

There were some who knelt to the Empire, who would keep the Law of their people quietly and in their own homes while the Temple was destroyed and the Imperial flag reined over the galaxy, but Sha’ul would not. He take his people into the desert, he would take his sword. 

And Samuel said to the people, “Do you see the one whom the LORD has chosen? There is none like him among all the people.” And all the people acclaimed him, shouting, “Long live the king!” - 1 Samuel 10:24 

He is a dead king. I am a tired man. - King Saul and I, Yehuda Amichai

I genuinely don't understand how antis can be self shippers like. Why is it "only fictional" when your boyfriend is a serial killer but the moment someone ships two siblings it's "disrespectful to SA victims" ? Like ? By that logic you're being disrespectful to serial killer victims and their families. Be so fucking for real

i have another pet tip, for all pets not just dogs: take them to the vet young and/or soon after you adopt them, BEFORE something is wrong with them. either book a basic wellness appt for checks (no shots or procedures) or just ask the vet if it's ok if you drop by with the pet either on leash or in a carrier and just get as far as the waiting room or outside the clinic if they're still doing COVID airlock protocols or busy. plan for this to take several hours. let the pet approach the vet office entrance and hear/see/smell the waiting room, windows into the room, the door, all the spots around the door, etc. engage positively with them if they're feeling interested, soothe them if they're nervous, and give high value treats if possible. maybe assign a super S tier treat JUST for the vet (bacon, shrimp, stinkiest cheese, whatever). feeding them can short circuit their anxiety loops (not all the time for every animal, but as a general guideline). even a single positive exposure to the vet office environment will help next time you bring them in. a treat jackpot for every time they act brave and explore further is a great technique

vet visits aren't just more pleasant when the pet is not freaking out, they're safer for the vet and safer for the pet, not just because animals injure themselves and humans when scared, but also because it's a lot harder to examine a panicky cat or aggressive dog. if your pet is sick and you bring it to the vet and the vet needs four techs just to restrain it to take a temperature, that vet is not going to be able to get a good observation of the symptoms. they won't be able to get a baseline blood pressure or heart rate. panic alone can kill small animals like rabbits and birds.

when you meet the nurse or tech or vet at an appointment, pass them some of the special treats and ask them to feed some to the animal if the animal is willing to take them and it doesn't interfere with the appointment. vets are usually able to spare a couple seconds to do this to make the visit easier and the next visit even easier. i did this for my dog and he thinks the vets are his best friends even though he's had multiple surgeries, vaccinations, exams where he was nervous or uncomfortable, etc.

not all animals can be acclimated to the vet but most can. in an emergency it can make a huge difference whether your pet is a behavior case when you bring them in to the office or not, which is not the vet's fault but a factor of animal behavior. you can plan for it and make it easier on yourself!

edit: buying a muzzle in your dog's size and getting him used to it is an even bigger bonus tip. vets will love you for this. even good dogs sometimes need a muzzle. pain and fear do weird things to animal behavior

One thing I hate about this ship-war is pitting Gwyn and Elain against each other. That side proving how Gwyn isn't relevant to the story and this side saying Elain is boring and useless.

Or when this side make memes (or even bring it into their fanfics if they're petty enough) about how Gwyn snatched Azriel from Elain and make Elain sound like a jealous ex and that side make Gwyn this evil creature just for Elain and Gwyn fight OVER A MAN!!!!

This is where I draw the line and I don't care if we share the same opinions you're blocked babes...

[shadowsatdawnx]

the fact that the other side has to work overtime to make their ship scenes seem even vaguely romantic while elriel’s romance is embedded in the canon text itself will always be so satisfying to me

hi !! so ehh we have an alastor fictive ( hazbin hotel ) who's mentioned offhandedly a couple times that she's uncomfortable w being so source connected ?? as in, her source character is obviously Not Great but he has a lot of Canon mannerisms and sometimes thought processes. And she's really sweet, genuinely, but is also very much Alastor and has no intentions to become less source connected. But he js feels uncomfortable with what his source did and how alike she is too source ?? kinda like a " how different am I really from this Not Good Person " I guess .. and we wanna help her !! but really aren't sure how .. we have 2 other fictives from a commonly considered problematic source but both of them are barely anything like source, so we don't have much to go off ??

CW's: None as far as I can tell.

Sorry this one took so long! We feel like there's a couple different ways to look at this, and so it took a bit of debating, but I think I'm gonna just say this.

For me, a fictive sourced from a violent person whose actions were debatable at best and sometimes just objectively cruel, I think the best thing I could've done was just acknowledge that I don't have to be different from my source. I don't owe that to anyone. The difference, the one that matters, is that I'm living a mundane life with people I love and I'm not hurting anyone anymore. I'm making the choice to live this life and do my best in it. I think that's the only difference that matters. I'm actively source connected; I get what can only be described as identity euphoria from being acknowledged as my source, being similar to my source including in ways that are seen as "bad." I'm an anger holder, particularly a holder of our anger around social justice. And my system acknowledges me as needed, and respected, and I fucking love that my role is to hold anger around our core values, even if my source is known for lashing out and causing utter destruction because of those ideals and that anger. What matters isn't the mannerisms, or that personality, or the feelings- it's what you do with it. I'm the exact same person as my source; I'm just doing something different with it. Choices are what make you you, or whatever, right? I'm making a different fuckin' choice.

And while I don't know your system, or your fictive (hello to her btw), I think that's the only advice we can give in this situation. It sounds like he's source connected and wants to stay that way, so separation is a no-go, so I think our advice is that it's not always as simple as "Fictive does not equal source." Sometimes we are our source, just in a different life, and doing different things. I'm not gonna be committing arson and destroying lives anytime soon, even though I'm still very much the person who did a lot of that in canon. What's that one screenshot everyone quotes? "In another life, I really would have enjoyed just doing laundry and taxes with you."

Yeah that. That's what I am. I'm just me, but doing laundry and taxes. She's allowed to be just Alastor, if she doesn't want to change himself, but doing laundry and taxes.

it's kind of fucked up how being john's 'favourite' actively harmed amanda so much. he tests her 3 times, intended to test her 4 (she was supposed to be bloodboarded), leaves her scarred both mentally and physically. hoffman, on the other hand, only gets 'tested' by john twice*, and the first one didn't even have any risk of harm to him. to a normal person that may make it seem like hoffman were his favourite, but john is incredibly abnormal and his testing mandy is him trying to help her. they're all vying for john's favour and yet john's favour is what got amanda killed.

*the unloaded shotgun chair, and the reverse bear trap. I don't count the ice trap as he was never even under the impression he would get hurt, and him being put in the bathroom was less a trap from john and more lawrence getting rid of him in him own way.

New pet peeve is when someone on the internet tries to claim superiority by saying “no one who thinks [insert belief] has ever read a book” and gang I hate to tell you this. But there are a lot of books. And a lot of them disagree with you.
