what blooms on Aslevjal My Winterfest gift for aravendown on AO3! The request was anything with these two, with Winterfest fluff and hurt/comfort as potential jumping-off points. This may not be set in actual winter, but they're bundled up and it's cold, right? The flowers are tufted saxifrage, and yes I did research to pick something that could plausibly be found on a glacial island. I was so relieved when I double-checked the text to confirm that they did indeed do the Aslevjal quest in summer. Sometimes I forget everything but how much I freaking cried through this book. spiritually I am holding hands with everyone else who hoped that Fitz would ever make up for the bit with the flowers. Happy Winterfest (.:

Wouldn't having them be happily and unambiguously together be more of an effective "fuck you"?
I very strongly suspect that someone from up on high told Tim they weren't allowed to get married and Tim said Bet

I'm just saying. Gus has killed people for...
Mentioning the existence of the superlab ("Winner")
General insubordination and to intimidate others ("Box Cutter")
One employee murdering another employee who was a child-murderer, even though Gus was probably going to murder the child-murderer anyway ("Full Measure")
I don't think it's insane to suggest that when Kim fled to Florida, Gus was planning to put a hit out on her, and Mike said "Leave her alone; she's not going to talk. She knows we'll kill her ex if she talks".
Other fans have argued that Kim didn't "know too much", but she did tho. Gus was undone by a fast food wrapper in an associate's apartment; it was worth everything to him that the DEA never suspected him, because if they started looking into him it would have all come crashing down. Having a woman who regularly works with law enforcement be out there able to finger him as connected to the Salamancas, seems like an uncharacteristically large risk for Gus to take.
Whether Jimmy feared this, and stayed in ABQ on purpose as collateral because of it, is more of a stretch. But I just don't like interpretations which assume the "She's in The Game now" line amounted to nothing of consequence for Kim.

Journey to the West: And so Golden Cicada was condemned to suffer in this world of dust for being heedless of Buddha’s talk
Me, considering what “being heedless of Buddha’s talk” could mean: Tee hee Golden Cicada yaoguai warlord villain arc au is a go!
#xiyouji#journey to the west#jttw au#golden cicada#tang sanzang#you can't prove it didn't happen#also i think it would be fitting given how many other heavenly figures come down to earth in xiyouji so that they can be yaoguai warlords#plus its kind of neat to think of golden cicada as a guy who becomes the worst version of himself#but lifetimes later becomes the best#shark's sketches

Look, I agree that Tim is being mishandled by DC, they clearly don't know what to do with him and what they do isn't working/selling.
But that is not the same as being hated by DC. DC doesn't hate Tim. If you listen to some interviews you realize pretty fast he's most current writers favorite Robin because they grew up with him.
I don't think any of the writers who tried to do something with Tim these past few years hated Tim and wanted to ruin him. Their direction for Tim just simply didn't connect with Tim's (comic buying) fanbase.
That's not the same as DC shooting Dick in the head and letting him run around as Ric for...was it two years? It's not the same as Jason being treated as a mistake who is constantly unfairly blamed for his own death. It's not the same as Cass being turned into a dragon lady so Tim would have a villain to fight. It's not the same as DC character assassinating Damian because they wanted to kick him out of the Robin mantle and use as the big bad of 5G.
Tim hasn't been selling for years yet they keep trying to make him work. They aren't succeeding, but that doesn't mean they hate him. I think it means they love him.
Because at the end of the day DC is a business and yet they keep trying to make Tim work even if he doesn't sell while they have no problem sabotaging a character like Damian even though he's selling more comics than Tim.
Trying to make Tim work is not a rational financial decision, it's a decision born out of love and nostalgia.
#If nothing else what is currently happening proves that Tim being Robin again didn't magically solve all the characters problems#Even if some people like what Zdarsky is currently doing with Tim#Zdarsky's only idea for Tim seems to be to have Tim repeat over and over again that he's there to save Batman#But most people don't want Batman to need constant saving#This isn't a sustainable status quo#You can't have Bruce constantly be in need of saving just so Tim has something to do#You also don't win fans of the other Robins over by acting like they were bad Robins and only Tim did the job right

Accessible doesn't mean "for lazy people".
I can't express how frustrating it is that, so many times on so many platforms I've seen various posts, especially videos, which showcase an item that makes a random task easier (or possible at all) to do (such as onion/garlic dicers of all sorts, or items that can be used with one hand, or even the tools that make it easier to put socks on), and every time the comments section is filled with angry boomers (mostly boomers), who don't see past the concept of "if only people stopped being lazy" or "this is useless, we already have [less accessible tool/item], who needs this?!".
Just because something isn't needed/useful to you, doesn't mean somebody else doesn't benefit from the accessibility (or even just the convenience itself).
To give a few examples of what I mean:
The sock tools can help a lot of people with mobility limitations, and that can also include anybody going through pregnancy as well, to put on socks AT ALL. You don't even "need to be disabled" to benefit from stuff like this, ffs.
Onion/garlic dicers make it possible to quickly cut up food items that otherwise may be difficult (or even impossible) for people with certain disabilities or other difficulties (I've always found it a bit hard to dice/cut certain food items (ESPECIALLY smaller ones), so tools like this are very helpful and achieve a consistent result).
Noise-cancelling headphones help me, by blocking out the noise of traffic, which is very overwhelming to me, not just because I experience sensory overloads, but because I have tinnitus and extremely loud noises are very overwhelming to me. Regular headphones don't accomplish the same thing for me, not to the level my noise-cancelling ones do anyway, and I can still listen to music along the way (my headphones also have a mode that allow for me to still hear peoples' voices relatively well, whilst muffling traffic, engine noises, etc.).
I wear a backpack instead of using a pretty shoulder bag for carrying heavier items, because one of my shoulders is slightly deformed since birth, and because both my shoulders get some of the worst of my joint pain (whenever it does happen, which is often enough), whereas the backpack I have, is nicely padded and easy to organize too. I've seen people online mock adults using backpacks, I still don't understand why though??? I didn't even know people made fun of adults who use backpacks. I still want to hope those weren't meant to be real takes...
I may not look like I "need one", but I do sometimes use a cane to help myself move up/down stairs especially, since I have issues with joint pain, and especially since my foot injury from earlier this year (the pain of which still pops up now and then, and it's not great). People look at me weird when I randomly take out my foldable cane and then put it away after a while. My joint pain comes and goes, and when I don't need my cane, I don't use it. My own father keeps commenting on how I'm "too young to be using a cane". I'm 28, I've been using it for a handful of years now, disability doesn't know age.
Let me repeat myself. DISABILITY DOES NOT KNOW AGE.
Just because you might not use a wheelchair-accessible ramp, doesn't mean it's not needed/useful for anybody without a wheelchair. Even people with bicycles/scooters/baby strollers etc. can benefit from them, and for me, it's easier to walk up the ramps rather than using stairs, as using stairs tends to put additional stress on my already-injured foot, whereas a ramp doesn't require me to put that stress on my foot, so walking is easier for me, even if it is just those 'few handfuls of steps" or whatever.
In a separate post, I touched upon the kind of ableism I've witnessed in certain crafting communities, and how gatekeeping can very quickly become synonymous with ableism, and how that can affect something like a hobby. Everything I said there, applies to this post, too. If you're interested, feel free to read. If not - it's much of what I said here, but specifically regarding crafting communities and how ignorant/ableist people can be at times, and how that can affect people.
So many tools exist to help with certain tasks, to make some stuff doable at all, to add accessibility to an otherwise difficult task for any particular person, and so much of it is just seen as "useless" or "for the lazy people", or there's some aspect of aggressive gatekeeping fueled with "if you don't do it THIS way only, then you're not doing it at all/it's not valid enough" attitudes. If anything, people with disabilities often have to put in EXTRA effort to do what able-bodied people can do effortlessly, even WITH the extra accessibility whenever it IS available (and by available I also mean affordable, because not everything IS, and not all options are available for everybody; price/cost accessibility is something many people don't even consider in some cases!!!). Not all of it is because of difficulty, necessarily, but it's a fact of reality.
Accessibility isn't laziness. For the able-bodied, it can be convenience. For the disabled, it's a matter of getting that extra helpful boost, or the ability to do a task at all, without having to find somebody to do it for you (if that's even an option to begin with).
I know I really can't speak for most groups directly, nor can I relay the experience of every kind of disability besides my own experiences over the years, but I'm genuinely troubled by the "trend" of people STILL (even increasingly) dismissing accessibility tools, disabled people themselves, and anything that makes it easier to do something, to function, especially since there's absolutely nothing that could ever excuse such awful behavior towards people who deal with enough shit as is.
I don't just think of myself when I bring up accessibility and its benefits.
Because the fact of the matter is - even those who have no disabilities could benefit from the accessibility options for those that do, even if it is simply a convenience for most. It takes effort to make something inaccessible, and it would take so little to make a big difference even for some.
And on that note.
It's not laziness. It never was.
#ableism#disability#accessibility#i know this post doesn't cover a lot of stuff#but it's mostly to highlight a bigger issue that exists#it's 2024 and disabled people STILL have to fucking prove how disabled they are#to be taken even a little more seriously in the first place#and so many disabilities aren't even seen as “real disabilities” by some#because you “can't see them” or “you're not disabled if you're not wheelchair-bound forever”#or “if you dress in anything but rags then are you ACTUALLY disabled”#i hope i didn't misspell anything... i re-read it a couple times but even so I sometimes miss things#dyslexia does make it hard to make posts this long but I feel like these discussions HAVE to happen at some point#I hope more people can share their experiences too#I'd be glad to learn about challenges I haven't brought up that are faced by people with disabilities that I myself don't have#Every disability is different so everybody faces different challenges#And my experiences may not be universal but I did try to express how I deal with some of my struggles with the options available to me

Man I wonder where the leader of the fear realm could've gone, it's alMOST LIKE NEVIN HAS AN
#had to re-edit the image real quick because the original edit was from a post I made about Drew years ago#and while the Drew thing is becoming less and less likely. Nevin havinv one has basically been canon since#someone mentioned Greg's (was it Britney's) aura being familiar in s2ch1. ive been putting together a list of every line#that points to Nevin's aura throughout the whole thing (most from s2ch1 but then s2ch10 came out and it was really canon at that point)#but clearly i'm running out of time to say ''i fucking called it'' before it's explicitly stated and i dont want to be in another situation#where somebody else will beat me to a theory and me posting anything about it will seem like copying them. sorry about that btw i had#thought i had already mentioned theorizing that nevin was possessed by a demon in that old theory i made but i had forgotten that one was#super old and was about sigma. so no copying there i just got extremely paranoid there was a mention of a cult and i was like ''nuh uh#that's way too specific and out there of a detail to end up in both our theories'' and i forgot the rest of my super old post was outdated#as hell. and echos had gone ''yeah they're so similar!'' and i took their word for it but now i'm realizing they were probably just trying#to be supportive. so yeah no copying there i was just beaten to the punch of saying something. but i will NOT back down from the aura shit#because i have been calling that shit FROM THE START or at least since i started reading ibvs back when ch20 came out.#also not backing down from saying chris was the worse friend because these past few chapters are the first time isaac has done anything tha#could knowingly upset chris meanwhile chris has. let edward drag isaac to the lair after isaac said edward would beat him up. chose not to#believe edward was holding the secrets over their heads because 'it was something isaac had said' and then immediately distrusted edward in#the next chapter because a random person he didn't know said to steal a book (might i mention how that entire scene proves chris' lack of#development and refusal to take responsibility because it perfectly alludes to when chris had brought those fireworks into his old school#and makes me wonder if charlie has actually gotten him in trouble with his past schools or if he's still just not taking responsibility#and if him following nevin to the woods to test out their powers is an extension of ''if something bad happens its not my fault''#like seriously this man would bring a mysterious suitcase onto a plane if he's told to). uh what was i talking about agai#anyway on a related note my mental state has only gotten worse since i left tumblr and the habit of thinking about chris instead of sleepin#or doing schoolwork has not stopped. so i was still failing for a while and might graduate now but am still staying away from tumblr.#so yeah this was a little update and im not going to linger this time im just going to leave tumblr again right after hitting post#addendum because i just can't let things go. and was thinking about chris again. i don't think his lack of development is because of bad#writing (anymore. i used to.). instead i'm certain his character arc is going to continue into him following someone (nevin probably) into#doing something really bad. and then he'll finally get actual consequences and go 'oh shit i fucked up real bad this time'#if you think that theory is reaching too far into the future you should hear mine about isaac dying at the end lmao

Beware the Archivist's Wrath
*sigh* Yes, I got bit by my own plot bunny, so here's a fuller background for almost-Archivist Obi-Wan.
-
Obi-Wan Kenobi was a bright young student of the Jedi Order. A number of Masters had their eye on him as he grew closer to the age of apprenticeship. Those eyes, however, turned firmly elsewhere when it became apparent that Jocasta Nu had taken an interest in Young Kenobi.
He was a frequent visitor to the Archives, even beyond the supervised outings of the creches. He was quiet (at least within the Archive itself), polite, and above all, curious. He soaked up knowledge like a sponge and if there was one thing the Master Archivist of the Order appreciated, it was a keen mind with a willingness to learn.
She took him under her wing, cultivating his curiosity and nudging him toward the materials that would ease his way on the path to becoming an archivist himself. He'd be a worthy successor to her.
Or he would have been.
Qui-Gon Jinn had always had a rebellious streak, but while it was occasionally amusing to see him butt heads with the Council, it stopped being funny when he ignored all the warnings- subtle and not- and asked Obi-Wan to be his padawan.
If Jocasta had been there, she would have stopped it, but the wily bastard had cornered poor young Obi-Wan well away from the safe environs of the Archives. By the time she learned of it, from Obi-Wan himself, it was too late.
The long-haired terror of the Order had turned the boy's head with ridiculous tales of derring-do; saving worlds, ending conflicts, and helping the innocent. All noble tasks, of course, but also things that could be accomplished with a good archive.
She couldn't blame him, of course; she'd had plenty of her own wild ideas about saving the universe when she was his age. She could, however, blame Qui-Gon Jinn, a man who should have known better but who'd clearly had the sense knocked out of him at some point in his misadventures.
Obi-Wan remained an occasional visitor to the Archives, when his schedule permitted, and Jocasta welcomed him with open arms. She did her best to put her disappointment over might-have-beens aside and focus on preparing him for the life he'd chosen; goodness knew Jinn couldn't be counted on for that.
From that day forward, Qui-Gon Jinn was persona non grata in the Archives. He was unwelcome within her walls and she made sure he knew it. Any requests for materials that he put in became lost or conveniently misfiled. Books and data crystals that he wanted had a habit of being unavailable or having a long waiting list. She had an entire archive full of names and could damn well use them to suit her purposes.
Should he somehow manage to acquire Archive material, she counted down to the milisecond it was due and then hunted him down, demanding its return and levying steep fines against him. Force forbid the book have any smudges, crinkled pages, or other blemishes (even ones that had pre-existed Jinn's loan).
At one point the man actually went before the Council to complain, asking them to intervene in his "difficulties." The Council, unlike Jinn, were not fools and refused to get involved. Word did, however, get back to her, and she made sure that her displeasure over his attempted subterfuge was well known.
One unfortunate fact was that Jinn liked to publish the occasional paper or treatise and Jocasta was obligated to house copies of them. Fortunately for her, the Archives were a large and labyrinthine space within the Temple. And much like the Temple itself, parts of it were difficult to reach, had fallen into disrepair, and in the words of one young Junior Archivist, "smelled weird."
Important works were never held in such locations, of course, but for Qui-Gonn Jinn? Room could be found. Damp rooms in remote areas infested with bugs, cobwebs, and a lack of adequate lighting.
Master Dooku, who had once been a friend of hers, found her "war" with his former Padawan to be highly amusing and attempted to tweak her proverbial tail by requesting Jinn's latest papers.
After being "accidentally" locked in a room for a day with only an ancient torch and a host of curious spiders for company, he learned his lesson and even had the grace to apologize. Unlike some people she could mention.
Her justifiable grievance with Jinn was buried along with him. More or less. Obi-Wan, despite the trauma inflicted upon him by the circumstances surrounding that death, continued to blossom. Even though he'd chosen to be a field Jedi instead of an Archivist, she was proud of the man he'd become (with her help and despite Jinn's interference). He truly was the Guiding Light she'd always known he could be.
Now, if he'd just keep that damn Padawan of his out of her halls...

the paranoia post reminded me of something I thought about at work over christmas. one of the managers suddenly called everyone over and started handing out pieces of brownie. somebody asked what this was about, and he said, "oh someone gave it to me, but I don't really like chocolate", then he kind of shrugged and went, "well, you know, I love to share!" and I was thinking haha.... hey imagine if he poisoned these brownies and this is like, some sort of mass murder in the workplace, and that's why he's being so vague about it.
ofc almost immediately I thought haha that's silly....... what if tho. a few moments after we went back to work, I convinced myself I had a mild stomach cramping and thought WHAT IF THO... POISIM
#didn't stop me actually eating the brownie mind#the thing is I don't have debilitating paranoia or anything. just a lot of low-level irrational anxiety#that I don't really stop to question until something like this makes me step back and think. hm. that's not a great way to be#there's often just something in the back of my thoughts like ''you can't prove it Won't happen''#but not severely enough to stop me doing things
