#who put you on the planet ?? ( sp. )

[nico-esoterica]

I believe in manifestation but I also think you can use astrology to help you shape and tailor it if you're an occult girlie. But you can cherry pick at will.

For ex, we all need to feel safe and supported anyway but there are those among us with unaspected and stressed out moons, terrorized 4th houses, and harsh aspects from the outer planets that put an EXTRA emphasis on it.

That means your sp needs to be a Provider. You need to be like that woman on tiktok who had a man who literally went from building her something for her room to building her a house. Someone that makes 5, 10, and 20 year plans. You can be a trad wife without the trauma and abuse. It can even be someone who DOESN'T want kids or require you to be jobless. Use your power.

Sprinkle, sprinkle.

Holi. My sp is a guy from my university and I already knew him a year ago, I thought he was cute but nothing else. I only talked to him once, but for a course question and he was very polite. However, this year from one moment to the next I started to like him and I didn't understand why. He and I, we never spoke again since that one time, we have no friends in common, much less in networks and I know absolutely nothing about him, but his name. * I saw him with a girl, with a physical aspect very different from mine. She was kind of blonde and stuff) Back to the present * however, I started to claim that he is head over heels in love only with me. I didn't believe it at all, but I claimed only when I could and my negative thoughts were a bit stronger. The first week I started to pay more attention to him (before I didn't care what he did) but I was more attentive to him. I just got nervous when I passed him. Then I started to get confused if he was looking at my friend or me, so the doubts stayed in my mind and my friend started talking about him as if she was interested in him too, so I got sad. But I kept affirming, I only crossed paths with him a couple of times and his friends added me to talk but he never spoke to me, and he was on his cell phone, he ignored me. But then I saw him with the most popular girl in college, she is very pretty and obviously I am very insecure because I feel that I don't fit the standard of beauty or that I am not his physical type of him. Even more so when She is like the other girl I saw him with. I felt really bad, both because I saw no movement for me and I didn't understand how if I claimed that he was in love with me, he was with another girl flirting. What's more, he never talked to me or anything and I thought how would it happen. So I gave up and stopped affirming a couple of days ago, I feel really sad and I can't affirm because I'm kind of busy with my exams. But I really like that guy a lot, I feel like I left him in oblivion and I'm losing him, even when I try to affirm that he only has eyes for me. I remember his image with her. And even worse my friend told me that he was looking at her. What should I do? I don't even believe in my affirmations and I don't do them, maybe affirm two minutes a day or so. I want him to come closer to me and start something nice together. But I get depressed. Thank you so much and sorry for so much

Let me put this as bluntly as I possibly can:

I don't care if the entire female population of planet earth wants your man, if you stick to the rules, you will have him all to yourself.

I'm gonna need you to snap out of this self deprecating crap and start applying the law seriously before I slither out of this screen and knock some sense into you myself. You affirm for 2 minutes a day and it doesn't work and you're sad and he's ignoring you? Guess what, if you apply the law he won't ignore you, he won't care about any other girl, he will be head over heels for you!!!

So which outcome do you want? Because it's up to you.

Your self esteem is low and you think you're not his type? Work on yourself concept.

You don't like the way you look and you want a killer glow up? Work on your desired appearance!

https://youtu.be/p3t9w_2Hjio?si=ZZh5QWp2w7Lsk_8C

You want him to be obsessed with you and ignore everyone who isn't you? Affirm a thousand times a day that he wants you more than life itself.

https://youtu.be/cAFVEBnZXZk?si=IlqxOD_lxGNGtFem

At the end of the day, the girl doesn't matter. Only what you want does. So take a break, take a few deep breaths, relax , then get your head in the game.

Affirm, visualize, script, listen to subliminals... Whatever you want, just don't give up before you even start!

Happy manifesting ❤️ (a little tough love never hurt anyone)

We've all been there, manifesting our dream bf/gf... Whether they're a celebrity, a popular person in your school, an influencer, or even a person from another reality (AKA a "Fictional Character"). Whoever they are, allow me to guide you on this wonderful journey of manifesting your specific person. The steps to manifesting them are as usual: Determine who you want, Know that you're already with them and they're madly in love with you, PERSIST!! Please for the love of god, persist. Don't listen to what the 3D shows you, they're the perfect partner for you and you have the healthiest relationship ever known to man.

Now, let me address the common concerns people have regarding manifesting SPs. 1. They don't know I exist. 2. I feel like they're out of my league. 3. They hate me. (No babe, they don't. Don't listen to the old story) 4. They're with someone else.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭" Maybe. But since this is your reality, the next time they see you or if they're a celebrity, when your desired scenario plays out when you meet them, they will KNOW and acknowledge your existence. They marvel at your beauty and admire your aura. Remember, even if you see no movement, persist.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞" Okay, babe, no one is out of your league here. There are about 8 billion people on this planet right now, don't give me that crap. They should feel honoured that YOU are manifesting THEM. Stop saying that they're out of your league because a person of your beauty? Both inside and out? Come on, babes. Be real here. You can get anything and anyone you want, whenever you want.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞" That's what the old story is showing you. Your 3D only reflects dominant thoughts. Replace "they hate me" with "they're madly in love with me". Never put your power on the 3D.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞" Nope. If in your imagination, you want them, they're yours. Morals clash in this circumstance. Know that you're not "breaking a relationship" or "stealing", you're just shifting to a reality where YOU are the one with them. You can always revise that they were never together and dating in the first place if it really goes against your morals.

Scripting scenarios- It doesn't have to be perfect, poetic, Romeo and Juliet-esque writing. Just have fun! Write a fanfic, write headcanons! Just don't put them on a pedestal. Script how you meet them and some things you want to experience with them.

Making playlists that suit you and your SP!

Making a Pinterest board that matches your relationship.

Antidote (TBB Tech x afab Reader)

Tech x AFAB Reader (use of she/her pronouns), but all of the Batch included

Word Count: Five words over 3.3k

Warnings: Sex pollen but not the usual trope (no sex and an alternative is found), suggestive sexual language and situations but nothing acted upon, restraining for safety, some strong language, frank description of biological processes, creative use of a tampon, some feelings of shame but they are addressed, NSFW, younglings begone

A/N: I can’t read sex pollen fics. I tried. It wasn’t my thing, but then I got an idea and @staycalmandhugaclone encouraged me so here we are. This is not a call out or meant to be negative toward any sex pollen fics. This is just a different take.

Also on AO3.

You met the Batch on Pabu and in the months since, found yourself spending more and more time with them. This was especially true of Tech. You found his thirst for knowledge and direct nature easy to understand and get along with. Though, you were doing more than getting along. You weren’t sure how to tell him, but you had fallen for him.  His brothers all noticed, but he seemed not to. What you didn’t know was that he simply didn’t know how to bring up his feelings just yet.

The boys had decided to visit a nearby planet and since there didn’t seem to be any danger, no one had any objections to you coming along.  You hadn’t been on a ship since you first traveled to Pabu and you loved watching as you flew through hyperspace. Tech landed just outside of a city and you all headed toward the market. Hunter and Echo went in search of supplies while Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair all helped buy food to bring back to Pabu. You were particularly interested in the local fruits and vegetables that didn’t grow on the island you called home.

“I think this is enough,” you said, putting down the last crate next to the pile.

“Is it,” Wrecker asked. “I could eat all this in a couple days.”

“Yes, but we’re just getting what we can,” Crosshair responded. He didn’t want to make more than one trip back to the ship.

“Well, we can carry more,” Wrecker retorted. “At least I can.”

Crosshair gave him a half-hearted glare but helped purchase a few more crates.  Wrecker easily carried most of the load.

You turned around to look for Tech.  He was busy scanning some kind of contraption that caught his eye one booth over.

“Ready to go, Tech?”

“In just a moment,” he replied.

Wrecker and Crosshair walked ahead, catching up with Hunter and Echo who were waiting near the edge of town with some ship parts.  You knew a moment for Tech could mean anything from a few seconds to much longer than that but wanted to stay with him.

He put the item down and walked with you. “The wiring on this new style datapad results in faster computations. I want to see if I can rewire my own and achieve similar results.”

“That didn’t look like any datapad I’ve ever seen,” you replied.

“Ah, the outside is only meant to grab your attention. It is a new model. The inside is what interests me.”

You smiled at that.  Tech offered to carry the crate you still had, and you kindly accepted.

Once back at the ship, Wrecker took the crate from Tech. It was decided you all would spend the night on the ship and head back the next day.  Tech cleared his bunk so you would have a place to sleep, insisting he could sleep in a chair.  While you felt it was incredibly nice of him, you also couldn’t help but wonder what it might be like to share a bunk with him.  The thought left your mind as he asked if you wanted to come with him to document some of the local flora.  After dinner, the others stayed around the campfire while you and Tech walked over a few hills and to the edge of a forest.  He excitedly took pictures and samples, telling you about each plant and its properties.

“This one has several medicinal uses,” he said, handing you a pink flower. You smiled at it and then back at Tech.  You gathered several and put them in their own storage bag for transport.  Multiple species of flowers were packed before you looked a little further into the woods.

“Tech! Come see!”

He walked over and immediately noticed the large teal blooms that opened as you walked by.

“Fascinating,” he said. He took a picture and noticed that as he got closer to you, the flowers seemed to open even further. He scanned them, looking for any known properties. His face dropped as soon as the results showed up.

“We need to go, mesh’la!”

“What? Why?” You sneezed.

“It may be too late.” He took your hand and briskly walked you out of the woods. Your face suddenly felt hot and your throat burned.

“Tech, I don’t feel well.”

“We must get back to the ship,” he said nearly panicking. “I believe those flowers create an aphrodisiac that specifically affects females of several species.”

No sooner had he said that, and your limbs felt like jelly and you fell against him.  Something wasn’t right. You could swear you felt all your blood rushing to your groin and let out a moan. You tried to run, but felt a great weight on your ankles. Tech lifted you like you weighed nothing and ran toward the Marauder. Hunter stood as he saw his brother carrying your body. Preparing for the worst, the boys all stood up asking what was wrong and following Tech on to the ship.

“A large flower opened, spreading pollen,” Tech stated. “I believe it is an aphrodisiac and it has already started to work.”

He sat you down, scanned you, and confirmed your symptoms. The others stood behind him, looking rather helpless. He sighed and gave you a rundown of what to expect. Very brief fever followed by extremely high libido and high energy until satisfied.

Crosshair looked from you to Tech and asked, “Isn’t there a way she can take care of this on her own? You know? Manually?”

“Negative,” replied Tech. “Based on the information available, orgasm does not help in mitigating the symptoms. It appears this particular pollen only effects females and it does not wear off until either sexual intercourse with a male is completed or her hormones shift with her next menstrual cycle.”

“Next period?!” You really started panicking. “I can’t feel that way for that long!” You wanted to cry and yet you could feel that you had to fight to remain yourself even now. You knew it would only get worse. “Look I… Tech I…” You searched for words, feeling overwhelmed. This was not how you wanted to have this conversation, but it seemed like you had better get it over with. “Tech, I have feelings for you. I really like you, but I don’t want to have sex with you or anyone right now, for that matter and I’m afraid of what I might say or do in the next however long.”

Tech quickly processed the information and couldn’t help but smile. “I believe the feeling is mutual,” he said, still kneeling in front of you. “I promise no one will do anything you would not want done in your healthy state of mind. You have my word.”

“That’s great,” chimed Echo, “And I’m really glad for you two, but how are we going to fix this without waiting?”

“I have an idea,” Tech replied.

No sooner had he said that and the fever hit. You felt like you were on fire and cold as ice at the same time. Wrecker stepped toward you to hold your hand. “It’s gonna be okay,” he said. “If anyone can solve this, it’s Tech.”

You tried to nod. Your whole body shook with fever, but within a few minutes the fever was gone. You knew that you weren’t yourself, but there was no way to stop it. You looked at all five men greedily and started to take your shirt off.

“I want Tech first,” you said with a smirk.

“Now now,” Wrecker said, still next to you and taking your hand away from your shirt. “None of that.”

You tried to stand up and looked at each member of the squad. You giggled to yourself that you just thought about the word “member.” They would do nicely, but you would give anything for Tech to throw you onto his bunk and fuck you through the bottom of the ship. You walked closer to him and he adjusted his googles.

“I know this is not you,” he said.

It quickly became clear that you were going to be quite a handful.  Tech did research as fast as possible, finding flowers that reacted similarly.  Wrecker held you in his lap with his arms wrapped around you after you tried to jump on Hunter as he walked past to assist Tech. He was also trying to keep you from acting out your latest threat of walking up to Tech and sitting in his lap naked. You made several comments about each of the men, but would not stop talking about how much you wanted Tech.

“We know,” Crosshair said, sitting next to Wrecker.

You turned your head toward Crosshair and smiled like an idiot. “Jealous,” you asked him.

“I didn’t say that,” he replied in annoyance.

“It’s okay if you are,” you countered in a sing-song voice.

Your body then decided that since you were sitting on a man’s lap, you might as well start thrusting your hips.

“Nope,” Wrecker said, lifting you off his lap. He was strong, but you were giving him a run for his money with how much you were squirming.

“We’ll sit with her awhile,” Hunter offered, dragging Echo with him. “Crosshair too.”

“What? Why me?”

“Because you’ve only sat next to Wrecker. I think we’ll all have to take some limbs or something.” Wrecker sat you down on the bunk and Hunter held you back before you could lunge at Tech. You nearly yoinked him halfway across the Marauder. Hunter managed to sit you back down with Echo holding one arm, Hunter the other, and Crosshair sitting on the floor hugging your legs.

“This is ridiculous,” you giggled. “Just let me fuck your brother. Just once.”

Hunter sighed. He knew you were going to be upset later. Tech had already discovered that there is no lapse in memory for this particular drug, so you would remember every moment of this.  He hoped you would find solace in the fact that they all knew this wasn’t really you. 

They were all getting tired and while Wrecker wanted to help Tech, he knew there was little he could do, so he tried sleeping until it was his turn to hold you again. Tech worked furiously through the night. He grimaced when you hit the next stage and complained you felt throbbing.  You had gone from flirty to begging for someone to put your out of your misery “with as much cock as possible.” When that didn’t work you cried. He knew it must be painful by this point. He couldn’t stand to hear you cry.  Your body was simply reacting to a drug. He felt guilty for not knowing this plant was in the vicinity, but it had never been documented on this side of the planet before. How could he have known?

In the middle of the night, Wrecker woke to stay with you while Hunter, Echo, and Crosshair tried to get some sleep. You made a lot of noise, but they tried. Wrecker had to admit that he didn’t do any more than doze. They were all worried for you, but being in war and under stress, they had learned to sleep when they can and then get up and do their part when it was time. They got what sleep they could.

You wailed when Wrecker held you, trying to scramble away to get to one of the men. He just kept apologizing and telling you he was keeping you safe. You managed to turn in his lap and wrap your legs around his waist.

He sighed. “I know you don’t want that. Not really.” You started crying again and all you could seem to feel was your pulse between your legs and a chemical drive that would not go away.

At the front of the ship, Tech started to make some progress.  He smiled to himself when he found a research article on this species of plant. He needed one of the pink flowers you’d collected earlier along with two drugs from the med kit.

Hunter hadn’t done much more than close his eyes, but he sensed the med kit being opened and went to try to help his brother.

“Will you restart the campfire,” Tech asked.

“Sure. What progress have you made?”

“We are not able to create or obtain the hormones needed to trigger her menstrual cycle and end this using that method. However, it is theorized that the reason sexual intercourse causes the pollen to cease its effect is because of the presence of semen in the vagina. Specifically, one protein found in seminal fluid. Now, obviously that is not an option for us, but it appears a similar form of this protein can be synthesized using the pollen of some flowers we collected. While not ideal, there are some items in the med kit that can help this chemical process.”

“Great, but how do we get it in her,” Hunter asked.

“We don’t,” answered Crosshair, now standing behind them. “Put whatever you make on a tampon and ask her to do it herself.”

“Would that work,” Echo asked, joining them.

“I believe it is the least invasive option,” Tech replied.

They all nodded. Hunter went outside to start the campfire.  Tech sterilized some equipment and joined him.  It seemed simple enough. He only needed part of the flower and then the heated wound disinfectant along with bacta gel would cause the protein to be isolated. Hunter dug a tampon out of the emergency supplies.

Echo and Crosshair helped Wrecker who held your legs, while the other two sat on either side of you. You were tired, but still acting ravenous. Your method had gone even further in the direction of complaining about how you were hurting, and you just wanted all this to be over. 

“It doesn’t have to be Tech,” you declared. “I’ll take any of you. Please!”  You then melted in Echo’s arm and looked at him with stars in your eyes. “Changed your mind yet? Any of you?”

He simply shook his head, trying to show he cared, and held on so you couldn’t pounce on anyone.  You turned to Crosshair on your other side. He held your arm and tried to help keep you still as best he could. You quickly moved to try to bite his neck and he pulled away. “No thank you,” he said. “I’m saving that for someone special.”

You were trying so hard to fight the drug coursing through your system, but it was a losing battle. After what felt like ages, Tech seemed satisfied with the concoction. There wasn’t much of it, but once it was cool enough he dipped the end of the tampon in the gel and walked back onto the ship. The boys let go enough for you to walk toward him. Your flirty symptoms appeared again, and you wanted Tech so badly. You looked up and down his body with no shame. He really took your breath away.

Tech found your glances made him nervous, but simply cleared his throat.  Just as he was about to explain why he was holding a tampon, you started sniffing the air.

“That smell,” you said.

The men all looked at each other. “Can you smell it,” Hunter asked. “The protein?”

“Whatever it is, I want to sit on it,” you replied with a grin. You homed in on the tampon.

Tech cleared his throat again and explained, “I have created what we hope will reverse the effect of the drug, but you need to insert this yourself.”

Crosshair and Echo were still each holding your arms, but not too tightly. You seemed to calm and they let go. You took the tampon and went to take your pants off, but everyone stopped you. Tech opened the refresher door and you walked in. He closed it and everyone sighed.

“I hope this works,” said Echo. “All I smell is floral bacta gel.”

In the ‘fresher you regarded the tampon with a little suspicion, but your body seemed to be on autopilot. You placed the tampon and immediately the ache started going away. You took slower breaths. You washed your hands and realized your nerves had been on fire for hours.  You looked at yourself in the mirror and felt the heat in your face start to drain. Instead, you realized all that you had said and done, or tried to do. All kinds of emotions flooded your system. You were sure that Hunter could sense the change in you from the other side of the door, so you made no effort to report what was going on. You weren’t sure you wanted to see or talk to any of them yet. You were covered in sweat from all your activity and wanted a shower.  You stripped off your clothes and briefly stood under the water. Just enough to clear away the feeling on your skin.  When you got out, you noticed someone had left you the spare clothes you’d brought, and you slowly put them on. After a few more minutes of staring blankly into the mirror and letting the antidote work, you finally reappeared.

“I’m sorry,” you said quietly. “I didn’t mean all that.”

“We know,” Wrecker said, pulling you into a hug.

“Glad you feel better,” Hunter said.

“Been thinking we might all get some shut eye before we leave,” Echo suggested.  Crosshair nodded with a little smile on his face. For the first time all night, he popped a toothpick in his mouth.

You nodded, thanking them for helping you.

“Especially you, Tech.”

He wasn’t sure what to do. Should he hug you? Hold you? Keep his distance?

“Here,” he said. “If you find you need more to counter the drug, I will put this in a safe place.” He showed you a container with the small puddle of gel he had made using the flowers. You smiled at him.

“How did you figure it out?”

He walked you to the cockpit after closing up the ship as the sun rose. He sat you down, noticing how physically weak you looked. Sitting across from you, he told you about his research and how he found a way to mimic the protein structure that seemed to shut down the drug.  You smiled. Of course Tech would figure it out.

“I’m sorry again,” you said.

“Cyar’ika, you have nothing to be sorry for,” he said, reaching for your hand. He gave it a soft squeeze and smiled at you. “None of this was your fault.”

You returned the smile and sat back, looking like you might fall asleep.

“Let me help you to bed,” he offered. You took his arm, needing it to steady yourself. Your legs felt like jelly for a whole different reason this time.

You got into bed. In his bunk. The others were already sleeping. Tech sat on the end of the bed, but looked conflicted. When he originally offered to sleep in the pilot’s seat, he didn’t know all of this would happen.

“Tech? Can you stay? Is that okay?”

He nodded, but suddenly seemed a bit nervous. He had never shared a bed with anyone like this. What he said earlier was true. He had feelings for you and knew you had feelings for him. He wanted you to feel safe, so if you wanted him close, he felt it would be alright now, although he wasn’t sure what he was doing as he laid down.

“How would you like me to, uh…”

“Like this,” you replied, taking his hand and laying it across your middle. Not too close or tight, but just there. “But however feels right. I trust you.”

He softly smiled and relaxed. “Goodnight mesh’la.”

i can't help but feel bad for people who get into the law of assumption because they want to manifest things like love. they're obviously lonely and want to form a bond with someone which is an admirable trait. you want to give your love to someone. but the way LOA blogs and neville go about it is not the way to do it. do not listen to anything they say.

i think affirming to yourself that there is someone for you out there can have a positive effect on you but not in a ''your SP that you programmed to have all the perfect qualities and act exactly how you want him to act will suddenly show up in your life'' but if you tell yourself that you are deserving of love, you are more likely to put yourself out there and seek connections with people, thus making it more likely to meet your potential partner. there are more people on this planet than you could hope to meet in your lifetime, there is bound to be someone who captures your interest. i promise you, you do not have to manifest a brand new person out of thin air.

Yup, all of this!

For anyone reading this: If you are leaving or questioning the Law of Assumption and need help, please see this post.

An Epiphany on “The Ideal State”

Before I start this post mentions religion. I do not go into it, I’m not even religious, but it is relevant.

Also, these are my beliefs and thoughts. If you don’t agree, that is fine but please be respectful.

To start off, a little background on my beliefs: I’ve always and still do believe in a higher power; God, Source, the Creator, Higher Self, it’s all the same to me. I grew up with the belief of the Christian God, which no longer completely resonates for various other reasons, but the details of Him never sat right with me, and whenever I thought of Source, I had feelings of love, happiness and warmth overcome me that didn’t make sense with what the Bible says about most things. (I would like to dive more into this but I have a point to get to)

Last week, I watched A Wrinkle in Time again, which is one of my favorite Disney movies and I always enjoyed watching it. It always gave shifting, but this watch was different. If you’ve never seen the movie (which I do recommend) or read the book it was based on, it’s about a girl whose parents are scientists who were studying how to travel to different dimensions by “tapping into the right frequency”. While studying this phenomenon, her dad disappears. It turns out he found the frequency and has been traveling throughout the universe, but he gets stuck. The girl, her brother and friend travel throughout the universe with guides to find her dad. They go through various tribulations, including a thing called IT, which is a being of negativity, self doubt and hatred. The dad runs into this being, specifically by ending up on a planet that succumbed to the it, loses the frequency and gets stuck. But they find him and in the end make it back home. When we find out what the frequency is, it turns out to be love. (There is more I would like to pull from this movie, such as a dive into the guides and also the various troubles the girl goes through and how it relates to our journey through life, manifesting etc but that will be a separate post)

After watching this movie, I had an epiphany. It’s love. it’s always been love. The void state, the high vibe energy that Law of Attraction requires, our higher self; love. When you push everything else out and focus on love, it feels so good and like you can do anything. It becomes easy to not waver and put your energy into something when you think about it from a place of love.

For instance

Want a specific experience? You love doing it, it’s so fun, comfortable, exciting, etc. You always feel good doing it

Want an SP? Look at it from a place of the love you have for each other, how good it feels to soak in the energy of love and happiness when you’re together.

Removal of 3p? Don’t dwell on getting rid of them, think about how much your person loves everything about you and would only dream of existing in that love with you.

Want a car? Think about how much you love driving it, love the way it looks, feels and how happy you are

Want money? Think about how you love what money can do for you and all the great things it can accomplish.

Anything: how you love to have it, hold it, touch it. Genuinely love it instead of lacking it

Or even better, be in a constant state of love. Exhibit love, think about love, be love. Yesterday I sat with Source and felt the overwhelming feeling energy of love again. It felt amazing. Then I realized it’s all love. Creation is love. We are naturally love. When you are love, it’s hard to feel negative about anything, and when you think about something while being love, you only think about the good of it and how connected you are to it.

Another example that may make it easier to understand: imagine you come across someone very attractive. This person is beautiful and gets so much attention, benefiting heavily from the halo effect. You recognize this person’s beauty and how their life is shaped by it. You then find yourself getting jealous. Over time, you become hateful and bitter, pushing away this person and removing them further from you. You don’t look like them or live their life, and you can’t stand it. You nitpick everything about yourself and to the core wish you were like them, leaving you in a pit of misery and self hatred. You separate yourself from them and anything like them, putting them on a pedestal. But let’s say you saw them and appreciated their beauty. You recognize the love you have for it. You compliment them and even ask for some tips. You love the way they look, so you take inspiration from them. You make yourselves equals. You start to take better care of yourself, doing self care and things that better you. You start to recognize your own beauty, and how amazing you are. You start to love yourself. Then you start seeing the benefits of it. You start to get the attention, the love; in the end, it is great. But while in this state, you may start to realize it all doesn’t feel as good as loving you.

By being love, the dad from AWIT was able to go anywhere and do anything. When he lost sight of love, he got stuck.

Now of course, you can manifest without tapping into a specific conscious state (even though technically you are always in a state). Robotic affirmations is an example. I myself have had success with repeated affirmations. But I personally find less resistance when I am in this state.

When we look at things from love and how connected we already are to everything, we can have and do anything. It’s connected to us already and we love everything about it, why wouldn’t it be ours?

This may feel a little Law of Attraction based, but it’s something that rings very true to me and it is very easy to bring things into the 4D for me when I already love it. I would like to stress again that you don’t have to take on a specific state, you don’t have to have a specific set of rules or be anything to manifest. But love does feel nice.

ill put a readmore right here when i have my computer

planet: DIFRENTIA [_im so clever_]

changes from canon:

* multiple fuschias CAN exist at once, given the sh33r size of the planet

* marriage is Kinda a thing, but only sort of, currently. marriage can be any quadrant, and married trolls are called 'bound'. trolls can have multiple bound partners in various quadrants. all in all, it's a newish thing.

* trolls CAN have children without the mother grub but it is extremely rare and, depending on one's blood caste/status, can be illegal

* even those allowed to have their own children are still required to contribute for the mother grub

* siblings are a thing and trolls that are close but not romantically interested in eachother will often declare themselves siblings

Was researching stuff and encountered a wild suggestion from the major English-language search engine:

“Do hummingbirds live in the Andes?”

Hummingbirds are only found in the Western Hemisphere. Put another way: Hummingbirds only live in “the Americas.”

Depending on who you ask, there are between 325-ish and 360-ish unique species of hummingbird (in formal taxonomy, this includes the birds in the hummingbird family, Trochilidae).

Of those hundreds of hummingbirds, only about a dozen or so live north of Mexico, mostly in Texas and the Southwest. But those other hundreds of hummingbirds? Farther south. And so hummingbirds are closely associated specifically with Latin America.

The highest local (”hotspot”) biodiversity of mammals, birds, amphibians, and plants on the planet all occurs in the tropical Andes (specifically, within Ecuador and Colombia). The tropical Andes mountains feature extreme elevation changes in small areas (they’re very steep), which means the temperature situation changes rapidly in a small area depending on elevation, and the steep topography also means that clouds are forced to rise and/or descend rapidly in a small area resulting in lots of rainfall. And with the diversity of temperatures and rainfall, there is so-called “altitudinal zonation,” meaning that many different habitat types (lowland forest, cloud forest, scrub/grassland, alpine areas, etc.) can occur very close to each other. More biodiversity. And any time high-elevation and steep mountains are found closer to the equator, the biodiversity is amplified.

Like this:

And the high-elevation ridges and mountain-tops of the tropical Andes occur in very narrow bands, mostly limited to within the political borders of the nation-states of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The higher slopes of the tropical Andes are home to cloud forest, and cloud forest provides a home to many flowers/orchids, and therefore also home to many hummingbirds.

How many hummingbirds?

Here’s a map of predicted species richness taking into account only 276 of the hummingbird species. This comes from a 2021 study. The map is described: “Hummingbird species richness based on the aggregate [...] predictions of 1 km resolution distribution models [...] for 276 species.”

Source:

Diego Ellis-Soto, Cory Merow, Giuseppe Amatulli, Juan L. Parra, and Walter Jetz. “Continental-scale 1 km hummingbird diversity derived from fusing point records with lateral and elevational expert information.” Ecography. Volume 4 Issue 4. February 2021.

Compare the hummingbird species richness map to a map of the tropical Andes:

What did the 2021 study predict?

“The integrated models identified a region southwest of the city of Cali, Southwest Colombia as global 1 km2 hotspot of species richness for the 276 hummingbirds in the analysis (Fig. 5). This region borders Ecuador and covers a wide elevational gradient with 80 predicted hummingbird species.”

In the tropical Andes of Ecuador and Colombia, there are up to 80 different species of hummingbirds living within one single square kilometer of space.

In a small space the size of, like, a city park.

80 hummingbirds.

Think about the array of colors. Hummingbirds are celebrated for their vibrant and diverse plumage.

How many shades of violet, blue, hot pink, orange, in just one square kilometer, perhaps on just one hillside?

Consider this:

Across vast regions of North America, there are usually between one and maybe four species of hummingbirds present. But in the tropical Andes? Dozens of species on a single slope.

More species of birds live within Colombia than in any other nation. About 1,900 species of birds live in Columbia.

One-fifth, 20% of all bird species on the planet can be found in Colombia.

Of 360-ish species of hummingbirds on the planet, about 165-ish or more can be found within the borders of Colombia. And at least 15-ish species of hummingbird are endemic to Colombia, meaning that they only live within Colombia.

Among the endemic species of hummingbird in Colombia, the green-bearded helmetcrest only lives in Eastern Andean paramos habitats where it has a close association with the flowers of the unique high-elevation espeletia plant. The critically endangered dusky starfrontlet only lives between 2300 and 3500 meters of elevation near Colibri del Sol ProAves Reserve. And on the mountains of the Caribbean coast, there is the endemic Santa Marta blossomcrown, found up to 1700 meters in elevation. And above that? On the same slopes? The critically endangered blue-bearded helmetcrest only lives above 3000 meters of elevation in rugged habitat along the Caribbean coast in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

This is the power of the tropical Andes, the same mountains that were the original home of tomatoes and potatoes, where the headwaters of the Amazon are born.

Chapter 14: We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

In a bustling city, in a fairly nondescript high rise, sat two detectives, human in appearance. They were waiting in the hallway, sitting on the benches, when two other men showed up in pitch black suits. The female detective elbow jabbed the male detective, who had been snoozing while waiting. With a bit of a snort and a groan, he stirs and looks at the two men in suits. The two stood up and greeted the newcomers, ushering them into a secure conference room, the male detective having a french accent, “Gentlemen, Welcome to ACME. We’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival! I am Detective Chase Devineaux and this is my partner, Detective Julia Argent.”

“We know who you are. What we don’t know is how to deal with an individual that you may be quite familiar with. I am Agent Q, this is my partner Agent T. We are here investigating an incident that happened a few weeks ago involving a tapestry that was stolen from one of your museums in Italy.” One of the men explained, pulling up a hologram of a video feed showing a female figure in a red coat and hat, stealing the tapestry. “La Femme Rouge!” Julia exclaimed, “But thats impossible, thats the day we were chasing her in Moscow. How can she be in two places at once? We physically were in pursuit!”

The feed kept rolling, and they saw different creatures come from the thief had entered and she was instructing the creatures how to hang up the duplicate. The duplicate however was not the same, the figures were very different. Chase looked closer at the zoom in of the duped tapestry, “Are those… colorful.. horses? Why would they put up a tapestry of colorful horses?!” Julia gripped Chase’s sleeve. “Its not her, Look! The Carmen lookalike isn’t human either! She’s… a unicorn?”

Chase laughed heartily. “Gentlemen, you cannot expect us to believe that aliens and mythical creatures are here to steal artwork. Thats preposterous! Those are those… people in costumes.. what are they called? Fuzzies?” Julia tapped her chin, “You’re thinking of Furries but no. If they are, these costumes are far superior to even what Hollywood special effects can do.” Agent T cleared his throat, “We suspect that these individuals are not of this earth which is what we specialize in, but it also seems they are not of this universe as well. We have been reaching out to any known experts on Interdimensional travel and sadly have come up short. We have knowledge of this universe and even time travel but we are still trying to crack the code on parallel worlds. We figure that since this team of thieves is highly similar to a known criminal in your circle, we best come to you for ideas on how to capture or even speak to them.”

Julia sighs, and shakes her head, “Sadly we have not even come close to capturing Carmen Sandiego, much less even known of a doppleganger alien. But.. perhaps.. I could reach out to Team Red?” Chase raised an eyebrow, “You have La Femme Rouge’s number this whole time?!” Julia blushed and brushed some hair behind her ear, “Not quite. Its not a direct number.. but I do set up dates to go on with Carmen when she’s not causing havoc.” Chase clapped his hands onto his head “You’ve been DATING Carmen Sandiego?! Why haven’t you apprehended her yet?! That could give us the promotion we’ve been fighting for!” Julia crossed her arms, “I do not mix work and personal life, and I stand by that.” The men in black nodded with her, “To civilian officers like you, work and life balance are key. Unless there is immediate danger or urgent matters, that line should not cross. We on the other hand cannot go by that rule. The fate of this planet depends on us being vigilant 24/7.”

Julia had texted Team Red and was awaiting a reply. A phone-call rang instead. Julia picked up and Player’s voice came over the line “Hey Jules, its Player, the team is out for street tacos at the moment. I read your message and could you fill me in a bit more? I’m a bit lost.” Julia set the call on speakerphone a moment. “Player, what I am about to say is very extremely Top Secret but I have some gentlemen here from the MIB.” The was a pause, “The MIB, like the alien protection movie MIB with Will Smith?” Agent Q spoke up, “Its a bastardization of an example thanks to Hollywood but yes. The same secret organization that deals with extraterrestrials.”

Another pause, “HOLY CRAP I SWEAR I DID NOT DO ANYTHING! I DID NOT HACK THE PENTAGON OR AREA 51 ON MY SCHOOL BREAK! I’M JUST A SIMPLE WHITE HAT HACKER!” Julia tried to get him to settle down, “Player! They’re not here for you! They want help capturing… Carmen.” Player was audibly confused, “Why would they want Carmen?? We haven’t even targeted anything like that. Its mostly been museum hits… unless Ancient Egyptian pyramid WERE made by aliens!!” Agent Q looked at Julia who was facepalming. “So sorry, he’s still in high school.”

“I have my entrance exam to college next week!” Player corrected, “But again, how does this involve Carmen?” Agent T tracks the call and establishes connection and sends over the video feed. Player could be heard freaking out at the sudden connection and says “Oh. Its from you guys.. wait.. that looks like Carmen! But her coat and hat are different styles. This is more of a panama type hat while Carmen uses a wide brim fedora.. Hold on.. IS THAT A DRAGON?! WAIT.. what?! Is this a furry filter or something?? Maybe someone edited this to make it look like… no, it looks too real. The cgi is extremely convincing..” Chase butted in, “Its not cgi, its real Fuzzies from another planet.” Some typing was heard and Player sounded as puzzled as they were. “This is from Italy, Team Red was in Moscow at this time..” Julia confirmed, “Thats what I told them! We were on the case chasing them!” Player typed more, sighing in frustration, “I think we need a Team Red and ACME truce and meet up face to face. I think this is bigger than all our cat and mouse heists.” Agent T agreed, “This may be best if your chief was not in this conversation at this time. We will vouch for you if they need to be updated, but perhaps this occupational rivalry needs to take a pause for this case.”

(Yes I still got OrangeJuiceVerse Stan on the brain)

It is so important to me that OJV Stan is the most accident prone loser on the PLANET! Like other than Kenny, he’s cooonnnnstantly a disaster magnet also fucking South Park (Patrick Stump Voice: “STOP BY THIS DISASTER TOWN”) this man just forever is a victim of minor injuries. Ojverse Kyle may be the one with chronic pain, but Stan is out here getting hurt in the dumbest ways.

Like he’ll show up to school with one of those cvs finger splints and Kyle will go “dude how’d you break your finger, football?” And Stan is embarrassed as shit like “nah I uhhh opened the door wrong” “how the fuck do you open the door wrong” “idk I just did” smh loser dumbass.

Not to mention that he’s Tall and tall people are very at risk of hitting their heads on shit, he’s definitely *bonked* himself on cabinets and doorframes, also the amount of concussions this man sustained growing up it’s a wonder he has any brain cells left.

Thank GOD the fucker gets sober at 25 because he’s even clumsier when he’s drunk, there was this whole incident in college where he and Kenny, absolutely plastered, wandered over to a nearby park to do drunk parkour while dressed in their Halloween costumes (Kenny was dr frankenfurter and stan was eddie, they did Rocky Horror that year) (also this was referenced here) Kyle was PISSED bc Stan bruised the shit out of his back and yeah he and Ken were in Trouble for like two months.

This guy has totally burnt himself starting fires on camping trips, cut himself washing a knife, got too excited about the sword he bought for his wedding and fully put a hole in the wall slinging it around like stan you loser that thing is SHARP goddamn who let this man get a sword just so he could cut the cake with it (that thing (he definitely named it something stupid) was under Sharon’s protection right up until the ceremony bc my queen knows her fantasy dork son would probably slice his leg open if left unattended lmao)

Literally he’s also such a horrible patient when he gets hurt enough to actually affect his life, like he falls down the Widowmakers in the SP Survivor college house and totally should be wearing a neck brace for a little bit but he WONT bc “marj chill out the dr said it was just encouraged” bruh it literally took Cartman telling him he was a “goddamn hippie-hypocrite” bc everyone knows Stan’s overbearing as hell when anyone else is hurt or sick. When Stan broke his arm in high school he absolutely tried to get kenny to cut the cast off way too early bc it was itchy and stupid lmfao Kyle caught them with a pair of pliers down the plaster and almost lost his shit smh the Disaster Duo is the sole fuel to his high blood pressure hdasfjdhkl.

He really is such a hypocrite too, he’ll be out here running a high ass fever and ignoring it until he stands up and collapses and then he gets mad when someone else does the same shit. On god someone’ll trip and and skin their palms and Stan will be like “dude you gotta be CAREFUL when it’s icy outside” and then they’re just like “Stan I literally watched you eat shit in the parking lot racing Kenny to your truck like, yesterday.” Smh. Also this man does not remember to drink water ever he’s convinced any liquid counts and he SO fainted from dehydration at a student council blood drive in hs (Wendy was working the checkin station and got so mad at him lmfao he was like “wends pls don’t tell Kyle” and she told kyle and then the Red Cross worker is taping his stab hole closed while this boy she didn’t think would be a problem is getting chastised by both of them lmao. But of course he’s on Kenny’s ass to remember to hydrate. And lord during his stint as the school mascot for that one spring semester he’s out here at cheerleading practice reminding all the girlies to drink water and Bebe is like “pack it up Superman” (he totally looks like Superman) “did YOU drink water?” (This dumbass did not)

Anyway OJV Stan my sweet boy he’s well meaning but also accident prone and maybe a little adhd <3

[transingthoseformers]

I was thinking about hatchlings in the Bayverse, and I just really adore the concept of a Prime and a Lord High Protector being the only ones able to reproduce. Others are born through the Allspark.

I also like to think there's a special location for the LHP to deposit their clutch, and the different clutches are all at different stages of incubation. I'm torn between many small clutches or a few large clutches. Maybe it changes due to environmental concerns?

As for why only a Prime and a LHP are fertile, who knows? There are after all animals in which only the leading couple reproduce. Or maybe there's some sort of special coding or spark frequency that can only occur between a Prime and a LHP. I like the idea it doesn't have to be the Prime bonded to the LHP to sire a clutch. It just needs to be a Prime.

So for example, all fertile pairings:

OP+Megatron, SP+Megatron, The Fallen+Megatron.

Sorry for the word vomit!

Okay that's pretty cool, because yeah! We see that in nature again and again, but I'm gonna borrow an idea off of eusocial insects (specifically bees) and suggest that in this scenario it's a three sex system like bees!

Also the "many small clutches vs a few big ones" question could definitely vary with environmental concerns such as resources—like logically speaking you'd only be able to accomplish a smaller clutch with less resources, the Fallen really should've thought that out better like now that I think of it blowing up the sun is one of those plans that don't make a lot of sense as that would just. Wreck the entire solar system both light, heat, and gravity wise, aaaand you you're getting word vomit. There's also the factor of it being in response to the population, many small clutches over a period of time would be a slow and steady introduction to the population, but if say a pretty big die off happened (like a damn war), it'd make sense that if there's a biological thing to compensate for that it WILL.

And the special location thing would have interesting societal consequences as I wonder if mecha would be able to remember like. Uh what should I call ittttt... Fuck it it's the Nest now. A few might be able to remember it, and I am unsure how long the would stay in it after hatching (after all, I think in ROTF and DSOTM the process is pretty interrupted) but the longer the sparklings stay, the more likely they are to remember it as an adult.

Though we have to consider how while in bayverse they're arguably one of the more biological examples of cybertronians we see perhaps, they are somewhat confirmed to have been built. But! The method we see the "Creators" using in AoE seems to me like a "cyberform the planet, plant a species, move on, rinse and repeat" which supports a hypothesis that they definitely would leave a method of reproduction or two behind. Yes, I'm on the tfwiki for their page and it seems like they were technoorganic (and might be inspired by the g1 Quintessons. Quintessa claims she was the creator, but from what I can see this might've been a lie and she might have simply been one of the Quintessons who came back and wanted to play god)

... which now that I realize it, maybe the Creators had not intended to leave the Allspark behind? Because the more I think about it, the more it reminds me of one of the tools you'd get in one of those evolution simulator games— use the Allspark device to create a few starting individuals, take it with you, leave them to use other means of reproduction to spread, and leave to go find another planet. Except, with the cybertronians, they dropped one of the cubes and never found it.

Actually since I'm on the tfwiki itself I'm gonna see if it has an alternative reasoning for the eggs, because so far Occam's razor is telling me sexual reproduction is the most logical answer. nOPE! NO EXPLANATION. Meaning we get free reign. Might I also suggest, as for why we see them in ROTF so quickly, that these eggs can be put into stasis, just like all the other mecha?

From ;; romance & relationship headcanons! // Currently Accepting

Answers under the cut because it got long.

14. what traits does your muse want to avoid when it comes to choosing a romantic partner?

Mole wouldn't want a partner who's needy / clingy or self-entitled. He will be gone at times for long periods of time for work so someone that always needs him around, always needs things from him, or stuff like that would not be someone he would stick around. Similarly, he wouldn't stay around someone who's self-entitled for very long. He will not do things for someone because they expect him to, have a particular status, or so on. Mole doesn't really give a fuck who someone is, what their status is, or so on. He won't put up with being expected to conform to someone who's entitled like that.

Herbert similarly isn't interested in people who are self-entitled. He'd seen enough entitlement from people during the time he was alive due to the circles his family was involved in. He thinks its obnoxious and snobby. He also can't stand the idea of being with someone who's constantly negative. Herbert likes to believe himself to be a pretty positive person so he doesn't think he could really deal with someone who's always so down acting. Also, it reminds him of his cousin a bit too much.

Bradley likely wouldn't be able to remain with someone clingy / needs him around a lot. Like Mole he will be gone for very long periods of time but, unlike Mole, he won't be able to be contacted at all due to being off planet. He wouldn't want someone to get clingy amounts of attached to him only for him to have to be gone for a long time. He also wouldn't want to be with someone who gets jealous easily.

28. would it bother your muse if they had differing interests from their partner(s), or would they delight in it?

Mole wouldn't care very much. It likely wouldn't bother him nor would he really delight in it, it'd just be something he's neutral to. As long as the interests aren't ones he's not forced to partake in when he doesn't want to then he won't care at all. They can talk about it and he'll listen, he prefers listening anyways.

Herbert would likely delight in it. He'd be interested in hearing about any interests his partner may have, maybe even partaking in them himself. He's definitely open to trying anything once.

Bradley would be fine with his partner having differing interests. While he might not always understand what they may be interested in he'll be more than happy to listen to them talk about it. Maybe he'd also be open to partaking in any interests his partner has but that really depends on what it is.

32. does your muse have an ideal "type"?

None of them really have a set ideal type but they do have general preferences for an ideal partner I guess?

Obviously, Mole would prefer someone who's independent and can deal with his absences. He also would want someone who wouldn't pressure him into changing how he lives such as trying to get him to stop his mercenary work. Though, probably the biggest thing for him is wanting someone who won't force him into any form of physical touch. Surprising him with or pressuring him him into physical touch is the quickest way to get Mole to not like you anymore aside from trying to get him to change himself.

Herbert does not have an ideal type at all. Just be a decent person and you're fine.

Bradley, similarly to Mole, would prefer someone who's more independent and can deal with his long-term absences. He also just wants someone who's nice and can be "soft" per se.

realized I needed to put myself on a pedestal. because I feel like if I put my SP on a pedestal, it comes from a lack of self esteem.

enough with putting my SP on a pedestal. he is the one who's obsessed with me, he's the one who cannot live without me, I'm the woman of his dreams.

yes he's an amazing boyfriend and he always treats me well. but I'm chosen and I'm the price 😌

YUPPP you are on the pedestal, not him! he is lucky to even live on the same planet as you!!!!

Pay it Forward

I have finished doing my income taxes and will be sending it off this week. (Yes I am old school and still fill out the forms in hard copy). To me this is a thankless, repetitive, unnecessary job we have to do every year with no rewards. What's that you say? You are getting back a refund and that is a reward? Think about the word you just used: refund. You are getting back money you should not have spent in the first place. The government sort of saying 'oops' we took your money and should not have, all the while keeping their fingers crossed you do it wrong and end up giving them even more.

Let's be clear here. | firmly believe we all have to pay taxes. This is how we get services like health care and other things I don't take advantage of, but I hear they are good nonetheless. Would it not be simpler if there was a flat percentage that everyone paid? We would not have to do this exercise every year. The only downside I can see is it would put a lot of people working for revenue Canada out of work but the savings for that alone could lower our taxes. To quote Spock 'the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.' (I was feeling philosophical here)

What's that you say? What about the extra income people make on the side that must be declared so those taxes can be collected? Do you honestly believe the money being earned this way is even being declared? That is why it is called under the table. They use it for booze so they can drink themselves under the table with joy because they didn't pay taxes.

This was a long preamble that has nothing to do with the point I want to get at. We do pay all these taxes but have no say in how the money is spent. Just in case this is my first blog you are reading I will explain that I have some ideas I would like to share on how that money should be spent. What I wrote above was something I had to get off of my chest because I was frustrated with my taxes. Here are some thoughts on how our hard earned tax dollars could be put to good use.

Friday could become pie day. Each month all seniors get a coupon in the mail for every upcoming Friday for the next month that can be redeemed anywhere for 1 free pie. Why? I like pie. This could even be broadened to include pizza because, well technically they are called pizza pies.

Build a wall at our southern border to keep those pesky Americans out.

Set up schools for kids starting at the age of three (we want them out of diapers) training them in hand to hand combat. Once they get to regular school they should still get one class a day in it until they are finished high school. This would make us the most feared country in the world because no one would expect our 'friendly' citizens to be able to kick their butts.

Set up secret facilities to perfect and build space craft so that when the Earth is ruined by the other idiot countries refusal to stop pollution, or they blow it up in warfare, we can be long gone living on a planet that has no snow.

Bring back Eaton's just don't let that family anywhere near it. We need a feel good story nationally.

If Petro-Canada is for Canadians and the revenues go to Canada remove the taxes built into the price at their stations. The increase in customers going there because it is the cheapest gas in town will more than cover the loss of tax revenues. You say this is unfair and illegal? Change the law.

Build water bottling plants across the country. We could own the world. Give them cool names like Alberta Gold (although it better not be yellow or people won't buy it) or claim it is pure from frozen icebergs (who can check). No one else could match our volume of production. If you've got it, flaunt it.

Give every adult one free lottery ticket a month. Might be something, might be nothing but the anticipation alone is entertaining and what is better than entertaining the masses. (void in the province of Quebec)

Pay to have 10,000,000 immigrants to come to our country to live. Think of all the extra spin off business opportunities, plus more taxes. What could go wrong here?

Overall, I believe there are a lot of missed opportunities for our tax dollars. There must be something better to spend it on than that art sculpture at the front of the University of Waterloo that looks like a giant turd.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: Tax money is good if it is well spent. Our problem is that this rarely occurs.

rewatching tas yesteryear for the second time today to pull some of the stuff that Stuck Out To Me

"i regret you were witness to that unfortunate display of emotion on the part of my son"

sarek this is why people say you're a bad father. he's being mercilessly bullied by the other kids and chastised for being upset by it? HES SEVEN.

"is something wrong, [sarek]?" "no no. it was only that... it seemed i know you."

yeah. you do. that's your son age 35 lmao (and spock brushing it off as looking like a shared ancestor he's so. i'm biting himgn,)

why do the adults wear full clothes and the kids wear speedos and seatbelts. what's happening on this planet

"once on the path you choose, you cannot turn back"

actually-

"it is difficult for a father to bear less than perfection in his son"

babygirl you have so many problems. what edition of the dsm are we on in 2269 or whatever the hell because i think you need to look through it

still so insane that vulcans do the kahs-wan at all tbh. like yeah sure it keeps them connected to their roots but these are prepubescent boys and you're just leaving them alone in the wilderness for over a week with zero supplies. how is that not institutional child neglect.

"to fail once is not a disgrace -- for others. if you fail, there will be those who will call you a coward all your life."

but like. no pressure or anything. single digit age baby child boy.

"i do not expect you to fail." "what if i do, father?" "there is no need to ask that question. you will not disappoint me. not if your heart and spirit are vulcan."

this fucking. exchange. it's so short. combined, it's all of six sentences. but even the first time i watched it i could pick up on the two distinct interpretations by both sarek and spock.

sarek seems to think that this is a comfort. an affirmation. he believes in his son. he has complete faith in his abilities. there's no doubt in his mind that spock will succeed. it's the logical conclusion.

spock however. spock has anxiety borne of his status as a mixed, neurodivergent child and his actual life experiences. he's so used to people thinking less of him. used to not being good enough. not being vulcan enough. he's been bullied by his peers his whole life, and earlier in the episode the other vulcan boys openly insult his mother by saying that sarek brought shame to vulcan by marrying her. he knows how people think of him, and he's reaching for reassurance that it's okay if he, like many other vulcan children, needs to undergo the kahs-wan again. just telling him that he will succeed, and leaving no other option, only puts further pressure on him and increases his anxiety, as is evicenced by him immediately going to i-chaya to vent and seek comfort. no wonder he runs away all the time, fucks sake.

in other news, i still hate this fucking fountain. we're on a desert planet where the only oceans are of lava. what the fuck are you doing, sarek? this thing is a massive waste of resources for absolutely no good fucking reason! where is your precious "logic" now, you green blooded cunt?

"of course. i should have remembered. it wasn't the actual kahs-wan ordeal."

bold for emphasis, and. i. how fucking spotty is spock's memory of his childhood??????

"you don't think he'd harm spock?" "i don't know, amanda."

[anguished groan as i think too hard about time travel implications]

..when spock does the nerve pinch to that big green bastard its fucking head vanishes for a few frames SDJFJSD

"do you think i'll ever be able to do that neck pinch as well as you?" "i dare say you will."

"...you are worried about the kahs-wan ordeal." "i had to see if i could do it. a personal test. i cannot fail." "that is your father's wish?" "yes, and my mother's. they... they confuse me. father wants me to do things his way, and mother says i should. but then she goes-" "she is a human woman, with strong emotion and sensitivities. she embarrasses you with those traits, and you are afraid when you see them in yourself."

spock really took "reparent yourself" literally with that whole speech about the reality of vulcan emotion huh

also. who did baby spock prank that one time lmao i bet sybok played a part in it

the zoom on amanda when baby spock says he chose vulcan.

and then he goes off to get in another fight after announcing his intentions to both of his parents and his alleged cousin. none of them stop him. vulcan is such a mess of a planet

"one small thing was changed this time. a pet died." "a pet? well that wouldn't mean much, in the course of time." "it might to some."

post over thank you for listening.
