#you just cant escape your own destiny

[prideprejudce]

also the fact that criston cole made such a HUGE deal about how he ~broke his oath~ by sleeping with rhaenyra to where he almost deleted himself rather than be a "whore" to the queen *gasp*. and flash forward years later to becoming exactly that - an oathbraker and the whore to the queen once again, is actually comedy gold

"I'm a feminist, obviously, but I wouldn't really mind him savin' me."

The cold, dark corridors stretch out in front of you as you walk, each step echoing as a reminder of the invisible prison surrounding you. Here, in this place, people play, run for their lives, and die with the hope of escaping. But you know the real prison isn't on the playing field. The real prison is inside you, in the despair that builds with every passing minute. No one can escape this torment. The men and women around you are trapped by the need to survive, but you… you're trapped by something much darker. The soul.

It's not just the need to get out of here that consumes you; it's the lack of something more. Something that makes all this suffering feel like it has a purpose. Something that makes you feel that maybe, just maybe, the control of your destiny is in someone else's hands, someone who could rescue you. Sometimes, you think of him, Hwang In-ho. The man behind all of this, the owner of the games, the one who orchestrates every move from the shadows, never in the center of the chaos. He’s not a participant, he’ll never be, but you wonder if that really makes him any less real.

In this place, where everyone is fighting for their life, he's the one who has the true power. But he doesn’t get involved. He’s not part of the brutality. He’s the spectator, the director, the one who gives the orders from the shadows. You wonder what would happen if he stopped being just a figure in the background. If he were to step out from behind the curtains.

"And I know that I'm fine without a man, but I think I would like his protection."

When you reach the control room, the air feels thicker. You know he’s there, watching everything from his control tower, as he always does. It’s impossible not to notice him, even though he’s always hidden behind the screens and monitors. In-ho controls the fate of everyone who plays, and he does it from a place of absolute power. But he doesn’t participate. He’s never in the middle of the brutality. He’s the one who calls the shots from the shadows. You wonder what would happen if he became something more than just a distant figure.

In that moment, something inside you shifts. It’s not just curiosity. It’s not just the need to understand how all of this works. Something awakens in you that you weren’t expecting. Maybe it’s fear, or maybe it’s hope, but you can’t help but think of him. Of how things would be different if he weren’t just a shadow. Maybe he could rescue you. Maybe you could trust him, even though he’s never shown you anything to prove it. In the end, the idea seems absurd, but you keep walking toward the room with that same sensation you can’t extinguish.

"I'm just bein' honest, can't change what I like. I'll never forget it, he told me one night, 'If anybody hurts you, ha, I'm goin' to prison for life."

When you enter the room, the light from the monitors blinds you for a moment, but you quickly adjust. You see him standing there, his gaze fixed on the screens showing the different games. Hwang In-ho is always present, but never close enough for the players to feel him. He’s the man who controls, who manipulates, but who never gets his hands dirty. He’s not a man who acts; he’s a man who observes. You wonder what would happen if he weren’t just the one pulling the strings.

Finally, you look him in the eyes. He doesn’t flinch, but you do. You wonder if it’s even worth pursuing this fantasy, if you even have the right to expect anything more from him. But for some reason, you can’t help it. There’s something in his presence that makes you think that, if there were an escape, if someone could rescue us, maybe it would be him.

You walk up to him, without thinking too much about it. You’re afraid, but also filled with that absurd hope. In-ho watches you, his eyes cold and calculating. In that moment, the words leave your mouth before you can control them.

"What if, one day, someone gets in your way? What if someone hurts me?" Your voice is low but firm. "Would you really go that far to make them pay?"

In-ho looks at you for a long time, as though he’s measuring every word, every action. Finally, his face remains impassive, but his voice holds a tone you haven’t heard before. There’s something in his words, a touch of sincerity, that makes you feel like, maybe, there’s more to him than just indifference.

"If anyone hurts you, I’ll do what it takes to make sure it never happens again," he replies, his voice deep and calm. "I’m not a man who makes empty promises. And I’m not a hero. But I won’t let them harm you."

Those words hit you unexpectedly. You didn’t expect them. You didn’t expect the man who runs this deadly game to say something that wasn’t calculated, cold, distant. But there they were, showing you a side of him that made you think that maybe there’s more to his attitude than just control. Maybe, just maybe, somewhere deep inside, he cares about something beyond money and power.

"I know it's bad to fantasize about robbers and bad guys, but if he were there to save the day, ha, think I'd let that man marry me."

You think about it while he watches you in silence. You imagine a different future, one where In-ho isn’t the man behind the curtain, but the one who takes you by the hand and tells you everything will be okay. A fantasy, of course. A thought you know has no place in this world, where life is just a game and players have no choice but to survive. But for a moment, you find yourself wishing that he could be more than just the man who controls the rules. Maybe, in this world so distorted, he could be the only one who could offer you just a little bit of what you really need: safety, protection, even if just for a moment.

It’s a silly thought, you know it is. But you can’t help but dream of a future where someone as imposing as him could be your protector, not just a distant observer. And for a second, you find yourself wishing he could be what you can’t be for yourself. Your hero. Your savior.

The thought terrifies you. Not because you need it, but because, in this dark world, you wonder if anyone will ever be able to save the souls trapped here. And if that someone could be him.

"I'm no damsel in distress, no, but I like assertiveness, so. Wrap your arm around me, babe, and tell me that you'll keep me safe."

The fantasy fades into the air, but the feeling lingers that maybe, just maybe, In-ho could be more than just a shadow. Maybe he could be something else. Even if he’s not the hero in fairytales, maybe in this world, he could be the only one capable of offering you a little bit of what you really need: security, protection, even if it’s just for a moment.

And as the silence stretches between the two of you, you wonder if perhaps this prison isn’t just physical. Maybe, in this world, the real prison is the one you create for yourself. And maybe, just maybe, there’s an exit you haven’t considered until now.

(hi there) what do we think about a soulmate au for 457? in ho's mark says "player 456" and then he spends every game since his own wondering if that will be the one, the one *his* player 456 is there. gi hun's says "player 001" and he wonders about il nam for a while, but then he tells gi hun about his own mark during the marbles game. in ho is just watching this all go down with growing hope and then. gi hun actually wins. he doesn't know what to do in that scenario, so he just lets gi hun go as promised but keeps fervent tabs on him. when gi hun doesn't get on the plane in ho urges him, willing to let him go knowing that if he gets his hands on him again gi hun won't be able to escape. gi hun spends years searching for him instead and eventually gets back on the game. in ho decides to play with him and becomes player 001. he tells gi hun he has a sick sister and not a wife, they bond over the games and quiet moments in the dorm rooms. before they go to fight the higher ups gi hun has to ask in ho if he has a soulmate and the reveal happens. gi hun takes in ho with him to look for the control room. when they're almost there in ho kisses gi hun and then knocks him out with his gun. when gi hun wakes up he's in one of the vip rooms, tied to a chair, and the front man is staring him down. he asks what was done to young il, was he killed? the front man ask why he cares and gi hun rages at him and the front man asks if gi hun would still care if he knew the truth, if he knew what kind of man he truly was. gi hun is confused and the front man tells him young il lied to him, manipulated him, he's done monstrous things, he's hurt and killed more people he could count. gi hun thinks it's a lie and the front man asks again, would he still care? gi hun thinks it over brokenly before whispering a single "yes". the front man mask claters to the ground.

hum hello this is so so so good???!?!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

i love soulmate aus so much, especially ones like this with enemies to lovers and obsessiveness and knowing that this person is the only one for you, that the destiny in store for you is within someone who has caused you immense pain and suffering, but forgiving them anyway because they are your soulmate, you are literally two pieces of one soul

but imagine - a soulmate au where your soulmate's name only appears after you've met them for the first time and when gihun meets "youngil" in the games, he is so besotted with him but the mark on his arm says "hwang inho" so he kind of lets it go but inho has "seong gihun" right there and cant help but think of how appropriate it is that the man who had occupied his every thoughts for the past three years is the one who is his soulmate.

(bonus if at one point gihun sees his own name on inho's arm and wonders who else has his exact same name bc his soulmate is hwang inho, not youngil)

[weebsinstash]

For real though I am lost in the Miguelverse rn bc the whole you know, concept and setting in general gives so much opportunity for so many different things and he's such a tasty intimidating juicy specimen of a man

Like for starters I keep flip-flopping between concepts of Reader being the Spider of their universe, BUT I also like the idea of Reader being an anomaly, because then you get that torturous pain of like... godDAMN the scene with Miguel and Miles on top of the train was hard to watch, you know? So take that and you've got Miguel trying his hardest to stop you and losing his temper and screaming at you that you're a mistake, you were never supposed to be here, all of those things, and then afterwards he has to try and put all your broken pieces back together after everything you had experienced completely breaks you, like you go from trying to escape him in Nueva York to just going limp in his hold and letting them take you into custody, constantly crying or being completely despodent and literally no longer caring about going home anymore because you feel trapped by being a Spider and feel like your choices are no longer your own. He didn't have any hard feelings against you but you have to follow the canon! And while he's you know keeping a watchful eye on you and making sure you don't kill yourself, he becomes a little too personally invested in your well being, making sure you've eaten, have you slept well, until he realizes too late that he's ATTACHED

Spinoff of this where he accidentally makes Reader kill themselves which also destroys their entire universe and like a few months later Miguel gets another ping in the system and, oh look a new Spiderman, not an anomaly this time, but still... you? Or, A you, maybe not THE same you he had known but, it just tears at his heart as he meets you again and youre so happy and bouncy and charismatic and he knows he has to keep you safe this time, that he cant let you completely fall apart this time. That's kind of getting your cake and eating it too huh? Having the first you be the anomaly and the second you is a true Spider who gets to deal with all his grief and obsession and guilt and all those feelings he never got to address or act on "the first time around"

Ideas of Reader not even being a Spider and just minding their own gd business and a disheveled Miguel from another universe who just lost his own version of you and hasn't slept for shit shows up all of a sudden and corners you because he just HAS to see and hear and touch you again and he's basically lost himself with grief

Ideas where Reader loses their home universe but instead of disappearing with it they just become an anomaly and now you're a Spider without a set destiny who technically shouldn't still exist and Miguel has to keep an eye on you as he watches you gradually sink deeper into the mire of grief and depression because, "does your life even have a purpose now?"

Story ideas where having a darling/obsession is a spidey canon event and Miguel thought he had already gone through his but he stumbles upon you and he starts losing it and getting real freaky obsessed with you and he doesn't exactly stop himself because he thinks it's normal and supposed to happen, and if you resist him in any way he won't let you get away because in his mind if he doesn't have you, not only will he completely fall apart, but what if it causes another universe to collapse?

Stories where you're a Spider and his "coworker" and you two have tension but respect each other and have never really acted on it and suddenly here's another Miguel who isn't quite nearly as reserved or shy as the first and suddenly "your original" has to 'defend his territory' as he knows enough about his own behavior to realize that this other version of him has his sights set on you and, well, your Miguel can't have that

Stories where having a kid is a canon event and Miguel realizes Reader is a grown woman who is actively avoiding relationships altogether and is also on birth control and he realizes "oh shit if she doesn't have a kid will she disappear?" And he's like trying to sabotage your attempts to stay single until eventually he decides, fuck it, maybe it's HIM who has to give you that baby. You know, just a little mating press and some noncon breeding that he swears is to save your life, it *definitely* isn't that he's totally crazy about you and this just gives him the excuse

You know just totally normal ideas about a totally normal totally sane dude

at the beginning of my junior year, something unexpected happened—my best friend abandoned me.

“i’m going home early, i cant do this anymore!” jiwoon said as she hurriedly packed up her things.

“are you serious?! you can’t leave because of that! hold it in for me!” i whined, desperately trying to get her to stay with me for lunch.

“you know i can’t go to the bathroom in public…” she slashed an apologetic smile, as she quickly rushed out of the classroom, trying to avoid being caught by me.

“enjoy your lunch!!!~” jiwoon called out, already halfway down the hallway.

i slumped in my seat, feeling the sting of loneliness. even though it sucked, i knew i’d have to face the rest of the day on my own.

⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅⋅˚₊‧ ଳ⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚ ⋅⋅˚₊‧ ଳ ‧₊˚

when I was left to fend for myself in the jungle called the “cafeteria,”…

“ugh, this sucks,” i muttered under my breath as i ate alone.

I should finish my food quickly and get to class… i thought to myself, grabbing a big spoonful of rice and shoveling it into my mouth.

suddenly, a voice broke through my thoughts.

“hi… is this seat taken?”

my eyes widened, and I quickly looked up to see a handsome guy from my class pointing to the empty seat in front of me. i choked on my food and hurriedly swallowed, nodding, “Yes.”

and so it began…

“i’m ham jinsik. we’re in the same class, right? what’s your name?” he asked with a charming smile.

“i’m y/n,” i replied, my heart fluttering.

from that moment on, i found myself drawn to him.

jinsik was funny, handsome, and popular. he wasn’t just kind to me, but i couldn’t help but feel that maybe... i was special in his eyes…

ever since that day, we ate lunch together almost every day, and even hung out outside of school! we sat next to each other in class… it had to be destiny. maybe, just maybe, jinsik would feel the same way about me one day.

one afternoon, as we sat together, jinsik asked me a question that made my heart race.

“y/n, do you like anyone?” he asked, his gaze full of curiosity.

my heart pounded in my chest, nearly threatening to escape.

could this be the moment where we become more than just friends…?

“huh?! oh… um, yes, i do. how did you know?”

jinsik smiled, his eyes bright with excitement.

“ah, well, i have someone i like too… i want to tell you who it is! and if you’re okay with it, maybe you could tell me who yours is?”

my cheeks flushed as i looked down, trying to suppress a smile.

“okay… who is it?” i asked, my voice almost a whisper, my heart in overdrive.

“well…” jinsik began, his face turning pink. “she’s in the same grade as us. she’s cute and pretty…”

i leaned in, eager to hear more. maybe it was me?

“her smile just… draws me in,” jinsik continued, blushing even deeper. “i can’t help but stare at her beauty. i was probably obvious, but…”

i tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, my body tilting slightly towards him.

“jinsik… i—”

“she’s also tall, and her hair is very long…” jinsik added, continuing to describe someone who was not me.

i turned away, my smile faltering as reality set in.

“her name is moon bora, and i’ve liked her since middle school. She’s transferring to our school soon…”

i stared blankly ahead as my thoughts spiraled.

so lets figure this out...

long hair vs. medium-length hair

tall vs. short

transferring to our school vs. already at the same school

met in middle school vs. met in high school

my crush: jinsik.

jinsik’s crush: moon bora.

in conclusion, i am not jinsik’s crush!

i spaced out, my gaze drifting out the window. On this perfect spring day, i had convinced myself that i was the main character in some kind of romance drama. but reality had cut this unrequited love story… in the first episode.

“so, y/n, who do you like?” jinsik asked, his voice curious, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“huh? oh, about that…” i said, turning my face away slightly, embarrassed.

it was way too late to lie about my crush, but if i told him the truth, it would make our friendship awkward… and i don’t want that.

“hmm… i’ll guess who he is then,” jinsik said, adopting his signature thinking pose.

“is he tall and handsome?”

“uh, yeah… he’s tall… and handsome, i guess…”

i have to be as vague as possible so he doesn’t suspect anything.

“uh… does he go to our school? is he in the same grade as us?” jinsik continued, probing for more details.

“ah… maybe?” i answered nervously, my palms starting to sweat.

“ah, i think i got it!” jinsik exclaimed, pointing a finger triumphantly into the air. (🤓☝️)

what!? already? even i don’t know who it is…

just as i was about to respond, the bell rang, signaling that lunch was over.

“oh! there’s the bell—let’s go to class!” he said, grabbing my arm and pulling me toward the classroom.

i guess that went well… it’s probably better for him not to know that he’s the one i like. that way, it won’t be awkward between us, right?

when we got to class, jinsik mentioned he needed to use the bathroom. i sat down at my desk and began gathering my materials for math class.

“geez, what’s taking him so long?” i muttered to myself, absentmindedly scribbling in my notebook.

suddenly, i felt someone sit down next to me. my brow furrowed as i turned to find that the person next to me was NOT jinsik. i looked back, confused, and saw him sitting two rows behind me. he caught my gaze and waved, flashing his signature toothy smile.

“y/n! i think i know how to help you~!” he whispered, giving me a thumbs-up.

is he serious…

ever since then, jinsik has been actively trying to help me with my “crush.” part of me thought I could get out of this situation, but what really worried me was that, out of all the guys he could’ve mistaken my crush for… he chose…

“why are you staring at me..? (-ㅅ-)”

“the way it is happens in slow time. it happens in hidden depths. it happens where youre not looking. it shows up anywhere and everywhere except in the usual, obvious places.

“this way mind cant get on top of the situation and coast. you gotta show up for all those gaps, fissures, and missing breaths. youre compelled to become more receptive and responsive to a flow and meaning that will still escape you, but at least youre getting closer.

“something strong and powerful, enigmatic and elusive, is pulling you right through the middle of your own version into everything youre missing, all the places you pretend dont add up. an irresistible force is getting hold of you and checkmating your desire to do it your way and your will to get on with the show.

“yes, it has a lot of shadow to it, lots of pain, discomfort, and awkwardness. too much to see and feel and stay present to and way too strong a dose of Earth reality for one soul to metabolize and keep going with.

“but you call it in. with longing and desperate craving you call every bit of it in, just by being yourself. enacting the way you do things from gut instinct turns out to be a blast, and to be just a fragment of what you need to get in touch with if you are ever to ripen and come through.

“nobody wants, likes, or claims the territory here that is dreamed up and shadowed. you can look away. you can say its not happening to me. you can chalk it up to categories and try to distance from it. good luck.

“what comes in the slow time are the wasted places, everything you left out of the picture that will not stay dead and buried. what you are meant to do in the thick of this action is affirm your resources to work in and beyond the morass. but the very first thing to do is to come out of the trance and recognize whats happening, and that it just wont go away.”

Atlas x Taylor Swift, courtesy of @tbos-main

dont be mad but.... i was listening to 'you're on your own kid' by taylor swift and it made me think of atlas DONT BE MAD. like the bridge bit specifically 'from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes i gave my blood, sweat and tears for this i hosted parties and starved my body like id be saved by a perfect kiss' as him before the quest when he's this nobleborn guy who's under so much pressure from his parents but he knows the flashy preppy lifestyle isnt at all for him and he wants to LEARN and have ADVENTURES not live a life that's been planned for him and then 'the jokes weren't funny i took the money my friends from home dont know what to say' for him when he comes BACK after the quest is done and keika is 'dead' and he's there with his reward and he's home but it's just not at all right and in his attempt to escape a life that was planned for him he inadvertently walked right into the preordained destiny that was written and thrust upon him centuries ago BUT THEN 'i looked around in a blood-soaked gown and i saw something they cant take away cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned everything you lose is a step you take so make the friendship bracelets take a moment and taste it you've got no reason to be afraid' MAYBE THE REAL HIGH-STAKES FANTASY QUEST WAS THE FOUND FAMILY WE MADE ALONG THE WAY MAYBE HE'S GONNA SPIT IN DESTINY AND HIS PARENT'S FACE DESPITE IT ALL 'you're on your own kid yeah you can face this you're on your own kid you always have been'

[samwinchesterism]

lol you guys are all so stupid god bless. "he thinks going to college makes you smarter and better and having an apple pie life is more Worthy and so therefore the chronically homeless scholarship college dropout serial killer who's lived the majority of his life except for two years on the fringes of society is the epitome of the bourgeoisie" is nonsensical enough as is but the funniest part is that he DOESN'T hold any of those attitudes lmao the only problematic (but not even strictly classist) thing is the prison one i will give you that (one offhand comment at age 23) the rest is all just your weird projections with no basis in the text.

sam's entire thing w/ college and the apple pie life has been (1) wanting to be safe after a traumatizing childhood, and (2) textually, subconsciously trying to escape a pre-ordained destiny of evil that he could detect in himself before he even know how to read. literally from episode ONE of the whole sorry affair like you cant even be trying at this point:

DEAN: So what are you gonna do? You're just gonna live some normal, apple pie life? Is that it?

SAM: No. Not normal. Safe.

it's also evident at multiple points in the show that he never actually fully bought in to the idea of it. very very early on actually:

1.06: DEAN: I really wish things could be different, you know? I wish you could just be….Joe College. SAM: No, that’s okay. You know, the truth is, even at Stanford, deep down, I never really fit in.

also e.g. in s2 and s4 he literally says the opposite of what people think his whole thing is on this post lol

2.02: MR. COOPER. You see, this place, it's a refuge for outcasts. Always has been. For folks that don't fit in nowhere else. But you two? You should go to school. Find a couple of girls. Have two point five kids. Live regular. SAM: Sir? We don't want to go to school. And we don't want regular. We want this.

4.19: SAM. So we didn't have a dog and a white picket fence. So what? Dad did right by us. He taught us how to protect ourselves. Adam deserves the same.

it's explicitly revealed that sam also had very little agency in general, due to supernatural forces pulling at his life. lucifer in 5.22 suggested that even sam's desire to run away from his family was related to his destiny as lucifer's vessel, and more concretely, he was surrounded by "Azazel's gang – watching you since you were a rugrat, jerking you around like a dog on a leash. " to ignore the MASSIVE theme of agency and more importantly lack thereof in sam's life - leading to desperate grabs at agency and making his own choices being a consistent motivation for him throughout all of it - will mean always, always, always spectacularly failing at understanding his character or analyzing it in any meaningful way, leading to whatever the fuck is going on here

there are different points in the story where he's obviously less certain about it (e.g. s8) but the idea that he consistently thinks that the bourgeois upper middle class life is the ideal and everything else is lesser than is something you made up in your heads. it's a deeply personal issue for him that he often wrestles with - safety vs. duty vs. destiny vs family vs. fulfillment etc. it's never indicated meaningfully in the text that sam is concerned with gaining wealth or status or social capital through education or through his other desires for his life

there's also no evidence for what someone said in the tags about him looking down on stealing for money because it's just not true lol like the MOST negative thing he ever said was "It's not the most honest thing in the world, Dean" (1.08) lmao. he was just like maybe we could get jobs for a bit (he literally says "once in a while" lol). "maybe we could get jobs instead of stealing ALL the time, but sometimes is fine" = "classist" is rocks for brains analysis. like it's just very very very dumb. also like it's not necessarily classist to try to avoid stealing from other people when you think you can make a living without doing that. which is what sam's thing was. textually:

5.22: CHUCK. They'd pass the time lining their pockets. Sam used to insist on honest work, but now he hustles pool, like his brother.

in swan song when he asks dean to live a "normal, apple-pie life", it's very clear in the text that he's trying to make sure dean finds some semblance of non-hunting contentment after he dies, so that he doesn't try to bring sam back to life which in sam's mind at the time would re-start the apocalypse like you guys have to keep these things in their proper context lmao you can't just lift random lines of dialogue and be like SEEEEE he's homophobic and classist

in a similar vein him teasing dean about reading or whatever is literally just him being a little shit. there is not a single textual example of him sincerely thinking dean is less intelligent than him because he's not as into the book learning. the funny thing is that the most realistic interpretation is that it's just a reaction from dean making fun of him for being a geek/nerd/etc. lol like oh you're gonna make fun of me for being a nerd well do you even know how to read like lol. because siblings. when push comes to shove he sits dean down and monologues at him about how he is a genius (8.14)

also wanting to go to college doesn't make him a classist. it's not once indicated that he wanted to go to be rich and because higher education makes you better than others like that doesn't even have a nexus to his motivations. he has only ever said he wanted to go to school to go to school, and to do something he wanted with his life while escaping his traumatic and abusive childhood (see AGENCY point above). it's simply not classism unless you decide to filter it through seven layers of pseudo-intellectual fake analysis which doesn't make it right. in 1.08 when he encourages a kid to go to college, note what his reasoning is and feel ashamed for ever saying a bad word about him:

SAM. Well, don't sweat it, because in two years, something great's gonna happen. [...] College. You'll be able to get out of that house and away from your dad.

like TEXTUAL EXAMPLES or shut up which with this group always means shut up because there are never textual examples that aren't divorced so completely from their context as to be meaningless

Please don't fight with each other in the tags.

Hello ! I saw this on quora. It said that what tarot card predict is not set on stone and can be changed. But in the comment section, an quora users (Beyond Time) said it false :

« I have to politely disagree. Tarot does tell the future and future is set in stone. At least that big part pf the future called Fate. Everyone comes with Fate and certain Destiny that is chosen pre birth. If Tarot shows some trajectory which can be changed, no point consulting it at all. The problem is not everyone is gifted to read the future and that is perfectly ok becuase its not always ok to know the future or consult cards all the time. Even the most ancient texts like Bhagavat Gita tell us that everyone comes with a set path to live through. The outcome is known but it is not for us to know. Things like when you will be born, who you will marry, when you will die are all predestined.

Many years ago I consulted an amazing Tarot reader a truly gifted Soul. She predicted things that I didn't even believe at the time. They happened.

In my own readings things did unfold as cards were showing no matter if I like it or not. Especially when it comes to major arcana as these are showing fated events.

To be honest even when I tried to change things thinking i can avoid what Tarot are showing — the events have unfolded exactly as they showed. You cant escape your Destiny.

It is all down to a gift of seeing the future. In Vedic Astrology it is given to one by the fire element Agni. Only few can truly master it. And not everyone should know their future. »

I wanted to know your thoughts on this discussion.

Hi,

To me that is their belief and that is perfectly fine. I don't have any thoughts other than interest in how people have their own way of seeing things. Great to see life in a different perspective. As long they don't impose their own belief on others and give space for others to make up their own mind I am always good. (I don't think that they are being imposing, just very sure and passionate of what they believe in).

[ygio]

richard siken poems tend to make me feel all kinds of ways but the "This is a story of loops// I stepped off the loop" line from that deer poem just screams yugioh. im thinking about how ygo is about cycles, patterns being forced on you as fate turns its wheels without hesitation or compromise - but its also about breaking out of these cycles.

its kaiba looking his destiny in the eye and saying no; i refuse, because theres always a choice. its him doing this and winning.

its the ishtars being predestined to a life in the dark but getting out, escaping the cruel rules they were made to follow and starting to live on the surface the way they want and deserve.

its priest set refusing to be like akhenaden in the end, otogi doing the same, standing up to his own father who spun his hate into the next generation, tried to recreate the pattern. about jounouchi being nothing like the drunk that made him, renouncing meaningless violence after meeting yuugi and deciding that he can change.

i hear about tragedies and the characters being stuck, struggling against what has already been written for them, helpless to change this, and i see people group ygo together with these stories, but i just cant see it that way. ygo is already the opposite of this in so many ways. its about fighting as long as you can, and winning despite all odds.

magic is real, the dead and the living are existing in the same place, centuries apart but still here. as long as youre here theres still hope, you can still fight. you can do anything.

Rewatching Ninjago

(With no context other than the episode)

Skybound 3-4

Nya: (holds onto jay because shes scared of the jail prisoners)

Jay: :D

Jay: (falls on his fucking face)

Smooth Jay.

Cole: yeah? Well are these cuffs good enough against my SUPER STRENGTH

Cole (trying his best): just wait, almost got it-

Nya: Theyre not gonna break.

ITS HIM

THE SHITBAG WHO TRIED TO TAKE APART ZANE. FUCK HIM.

Zane: by my observations, that was your own fault by working for a crime boss 🤨

Cant believe Lloyd went to prison at what, 16? 17???

How is the warden not even a little mad that this engineer over here can open all the prison cells with the push of a button????

Nice of them to put all the ninja in one singular cell

Dareth (after failing at one attempt at breaking the ninja out): welp, your on your own!

Its hilarious how some prison-mates have ninja favorites

Like some guy just spit in Coles direction because he’s a Jay fan

Jay: Hey! Its captain Soto! The first captain of the destiny’s bounty!

Captain Soto: And its Jay! The whiny sniveling blue pajama man who says everything obvious.

Honestly though, If wishing for love was something you could do. And something Jay planned on doing. That would end up really fucked up.

Kryptorium is like, the baddest and most secure prison of them all right?

So why tf do all the prisoners have weapons.

This prison is a load of shit

THE GUARDS ARENT EVEN DOING ANYTHING

I remember being so scared as they held Zane down and tried to take his spare parts

This is so disturbing they even opened him up

THANK YOU PIXAL!!!

Lloyd, with a guard holding onto him: We could break out tonight…

The guard: 😮

The guard: lol jk idgaf

The side characters are so unbothered

Nadakhan: I want to return to my home realm. Djinjago.

Ooooo new realm!!!

Wait wait wait

Need to type this down so i dont forget

So, ever since the ninja killed the preeminent and basically making the cursed realm non existent. Due to all the 16 realms being interlocked, djinjago is crumbling into non existence as well?

SO NOW THERES 14 ALIVE REALMS????

Well, that gives nadakhan a motive to hunt the ninja I guess

His plan is to overtake ninjago.

How original.

The ninja escaped!!!!!

The cops are so incompetent.

Kai holding Cole above water as they traverse the sewers 🥺

I love them.

I would also laugh like captain soto if i realized some girl who was gonna fight the djinn looked exactly like his past lover

Hilarious irony

Police chief: I want to find those ninja!!! They could be under our noses for gods sake!

Nya (in a police uniform): im in! Right under their noses… now I need the password to get in.

Jay (also undercover): got it!

Jay (his whiny voice drastically changing to a deep steady one): uhhh whats the password?

Hfjsjbejsntnjw that took me so off guard

Honestly, imagine the amount of ninjago civilians who are still ninja fans and are also ACAB after the police but the ninja in prison. Not to mention how incompetent these cops are 💀

Kai (gets zapped by the junkyard fence): caraful zane! This things electrocuted!

Zane: Yes kai, I think that was abundantly clear by all the ‘danger’ and ‘electricity’ signs 😄

Kai: Hurry up!

Zane: these chains will take me a while. You could keep interrupting me or you could start making yourself USEFUL🙄

Zanes so sassy with Kai

Nadakhan and his ship are in the sky!!!!

Its funny how the ninja are searching for Nadakhan and nadakhan is searching for the ninja but neither can find the other

I remember this episode. Im not ready.

Im crossing my fingers for Jay not to fuck anything up but I already know what happens 😭

Jay: let me! A gentleman- uh i mean uh, a superior! Always pays!

You already fucked up by saying superior 🤨

Jay: (cant find his wallet) oh uh wrong pants…

Nya: (pays for them both)

Aaaand you didnt check if you could even pay beforehand

HFBSJFNSJNRNWJRBEB

THE SMOOTH JAZZ AS NADAKHAN WATCHED NYA TAKE OFF HER HAT AND MUSTACHE DISGUISE IM DYIIING

Nya is speaking fact’s honestly.

Shes trying to convey how she feels about him constantly showcasing that he harbors feelings for her

And hes like “Its because im from a junkyard isnt it 😒”

Like dude i get your insecure but dont come off like that

Nya: (CONTINUES to spit fucking facts about how shes already seen as the ‘girl’ ninja and doesnt wanna be seen as the ninjas ‘girlfriend’)

She let him down so nicely too

she explained why that it wasnt him. It was HER. She cant be tied to ANYONE. It doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with Jay.

Jays apology was actually really nice tho.

Hes forgiven.

I dont blame jay too much. He said ‘I wished I never saw my future’. And its kinda hinted that if he never saw his future he would probably stay friends with Nya and not have a problem with it.

Honestly, if I saw I was fated with someone. Like, LITERAL destiny. I would get a little obsessed too.

Jay. You KNOW Nya looks like Nadakhans lover. Its been CONFIRMED that you guys know this information. So why would he help you get with Nya.

These two are literally in the middle of the street how is nobody seeing a djinn and the blue ninja just waltzing around

Jays wish is actually sorta sweet

“I wish I wasn’t born in a junkyard- I wish I wasnt poor! And I wish, I could give Nya anything she wanted…”

Yeah, it makes me sad that he isnt proud of of where he was raised. But its a sweet thought to want to give Nya only the best.

God. Jays voice sounded so broken when he read the letter, believing Ed and Edna died...

HE LOVES HIS PARENTS SM 😭😭😭

Edna (seeing her son in a police disguise with ketchup on his shirt after breaking out of prison): what's wrong honey? What's all the fuss?

This is it. The part that shattered younger me’s brain.

Ed: Jay... You're adopted.

BOOM.

MIC DROP.

Does Jay EVER return to the fritz donnegan/Cliff Gs mansion after this season? I mean, he inherited it. Did he sell it? Is it just, like, out there?

Jay: that must mean... My real names Jay Gordon?

Nope. Hate it. Youre still Jay walker.

HOW IS JAY THIS LUCKY HFJDJSNFJS

All of Jays wishes have been going his way

Jay wished to not be alone with the djinn, do you know HOW easy it would have been for Nadakhan to trick him

Office lady civilian: So, they finally fixed our office huh :)

(Rockets come shooting from Nadakhans ship)

Office lady: NOT AGAIN

Just another day in ninjago

Nya. There was no reason for you to take off your ninja mask. All that did was show the djinns crew members that you looked like Delara.

Its crazy that some people other than the ninja know spinjitzu

Honestly though, Jay never sought out nadakhan. Hes quite literally being cautious about it too. Making sure nobody is by themselves, that no one says anything about wishes.

Djinn literally did Jays wishes perfect to a T. Why is he screwing Kai over so hard 😭

Kai. you better word your third wish perfectly.

NFNSJFNSJNRR

HIS BULLET WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH GHOST COLE. FIVE TIMES. 💀💀💀

thats literally the funniest way for the realm crystal to break

Kai: I WISH FOR IT ALL TO GO AWAY

Goddammit Kai.

They got Kai trapped in the sword :/

I honestly didnt think he’d get captured

He was the ‘main’ ninja for so long. To take him out this early in the season is new.

Love ninjago for trying new things.

[harrypotterximagines]

ANON: hey angel, I was wondering if you could write a smut for Neville involving him and a fem!reader losing their virginities together, and he’s super nervous and shy and reassuring, and totally overwhelmed by everything he feels cuz he’s honoured she loves him enough to let him touch her and omg just supersuper sweet Neville PLEASE 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

_________________________________________________________

The air was heavy as soon as you opened your eyes. A certain feeling inside of you was churning, a thousand small butterflies fluttering around your heart. You felt like glass, ready to shatter; and the best part was, you were ready to break.

The way how Neville slept alongside you, wool blanket dragged to the tip of his nose, securing himself with warm overwhelmed you. His peaceful body laid limp, unaware you were watching his doze. It’s true when one says that words cant describe the immense amount of love you feel for him. Your body felt baptized whenever you caught a glimpse of your soulmate. It was a connection you assumed you were never going to reach.

Taking your eyes off Neville, you swung your legs alongside the bed, hoisting yourself up and getting ready for the day. Each step you took, each corner you passed, your mind couldn’t leave him. It seemed that whatever was in the air wasn’t just speculation but rather a bug. The bite of love’s grace stung you extra hard this morning, warmth and serenity filling your veins like liquid gold. 

Squeezing the bathroom counter and letting the coldness of the marble cool your body, your wide smile reflected back at you. Moments like these, when you have a chance to step back and reflect on all your privileges, dating Neville was more than a personal achievement. You realized that it wasn’t the art of bragging to your friends you had someone that treated you like a Middlemist Red flower but instead it was privilege of getting to call Neville yours.

If luck was genuine and true, despite its sharp fangs filled with venom to strike at those who are disadvantaged, you sneaked past that poisonous peril. Taking a shaky breath and biting back tears of joy, you followed up on your daily morning routine. Although distractions like brewing coffee and choosing which mugs you’d both be drinking out of this morning, Neville couldn’t leave your mind.

The passion that radiated off from you almost made Neville seem phantom-like as he appeared into the kitchen, the sun glowing off his soft skin. His eyes brightened at your beauty, floating closer to you. You were utterly entranced by his power, only breaking out of your gaze by his command. His strong hand placed on the small of your back, tugging you close and kissing you sweetly.

He whispered good morning in your ear, his voice raspy and deep. The lovesickness whirled back into your heart once more and you realized it just wasn’t his love you craved, but the entirety of his whole. You swallowed hard, your train of thought heading off to a destination of overwhelming overthinking. Admittedly, you’ve both never done anything beyond the level of intensely making out. However, you felt ready to fully share your soul with his.

You turned your head to Neville as he yawned into his arm, staring at the coffee pot as it slowly and painfully processed the beans. You took one step closer to him, watching carefully, seeing if he would react to your odd behavior. Then another step. And another. Suddenly his arms were around your waist, your mouth going directly onto his.

At this moment, when the sun dyed his hair a shade lighter, made his eyes brighter, and his aura bewitching, your glass body shattered. You fell limp in his arms, his strength picking pinning you against the kitchen counter to support and hold you close. Your greedy mouth stole kisses at every breath you regrettably took, not wanting to waste a single moment.

Neville looked down at you, an eyebrow raised out of amusement but confusion. His face was hard to read, his smile a mask for his true feelings. You didn’t know what was the best way to flat out say you wanted him in more ways then one, but somehow the words managed to escape your lips:

“I’m ready, Neville,” You breathlessly said.

Understanding completely with your simple request, Neville hoisted you off the counter and brought you back to your place of rest. Heart and mind, you’re connected as one. Now it’s time to complete this unity and share the pleasures the body had to give. 

Neville slowly placed you back down onto the mattress, his body barely hovering above yours. His hands were stiff and uncertain, afraid of making one wrong move and destroying a moment that’s going to remain a permanent burn in his mid. The last thing he’d want to do is go up in flames and not walk through them.

His cheeks began to rise a light pink as cold fingers poked his sides. His crimson white sleeping shirt rose above his head, kisses peppering his stomach as you began to undress him first. His shyness overwhelmed you, finding it sweet that he cared enough to react in such a way.

Once his shirt was tossed to the ground, his eyes widened as he realized he had to return the favor. Slowly, his fingers began to line up with the hem of your shirt. You felt his fingernails lightly drag across the skin of your stomach as the soft cloth exposed more of your body. He stopped right before the under of your breast, hesitating. His eyes looked down at yours, waiting for the signal of approval before he could advance any further.

When he received the sign of approval, his lips began to kiss the skin that was shown. His delicate mouth grazed upon your flesh, worshipping your body. He kissed in between your breasts as the shirt tugged above and over your head, his hands falling to his pajama pants. With more eagerness to comply, he found himself naked before you. 

He let out an airy laugh, his nervousness encapsulating his being. However, he embraced it because he knew by the look on your face that read fearful content matched his own. He was overwhelmed by the amount of emotion he was undergoing and wanted your first time to be as sweet as one would hope.

He didn’t want to rush into things or scare you off, so when he tugged the blanket above his hips to hide the view of his private self, he was shocked when you pushed it back down.

You shook your head, smiling wide. “I want to see you, Neville,” You whispered, reassuring him on his insecurities and doubts. 

“And I can’t wait to see you,” He whispered back, although you found that he took his time taking off your bottom half.

You giggled as he took in a deep breath while interlocking his fingers with your panties, unlocking the invisible chastity belt you once wore. Neville looked down at you as he found his hands gripping onto yours. He lightly squeezed your hands as his lips kissed your neck, whispering into your ear about how much he loves you.

He reminded you that every part of him belonged to you. He told you that it wasn’t just fate that brought you both close but the destiny of promising past lives and future reincarnations that set in stone your souls connection.

With one final promising declaration of love and loyalty, his thickness buried deep inside you. Overwhelmed, you were the one to draw in a sharp breath this time, leaving him chuckling instead. His fingers interlocked with yours as he immediately told you that you were doing great even though he had no prior experience. 

His nose nuzzled with yours as he slowly began to gyrate his hips, getting you comfortable and settled. He whispered low that if you wanted to stop, he immediately would pull out but you refused. You knew the moment was right and you didn’t want to have it any other way. 

Neville encouraged you and put the spotlight of positive reinforcement and support directly onto you. He kissed you every time he pushed in, calling you a beauty beyond belief. 

He stiffened when you moaned his name for the first time, overwhelmed once more. He slightly whined at how much he craved you, utterly in love with the way you knew how to tempt him. He found himself calling your name too, a feeble whisper in your ear. A mixture of raspiness and lust filled your senses. 

His hands never left yours as his progression enhanced and he took full control, a gentle yet dominant movement he favored for your first time. You found yourself becoming increasingly comfortable and soon enough, the two of you released yourselves to each other.

Neville was panting by the time he came, his heart rapidly beating inside his chest. Your heartbeat followed a similar pattern, yet another connection the two of you fatefully shared. He laid on top of your for a silent minute, absorbing and soaking in the moment. He left out laugh which you proceeded to follow, the air banished from the heaviness you felt earlier that day, replacing itself with light and love.

Neville nestled himself close to your side, kissing your cheek, shutting his eyes. You stared up at the ceiling, regret never coming at all. You smiled to yourself, happy you found a partner for life.

[zuffer-weird-girl]

What if Kaito goes back in time to where Kai is a child and Kai sees Kaito talking to angel from a distance so he goes over to them and grabs Kaito and tells him to back off his women and kurono mentions how alike Kaito looks like Kai and he denies it at first but then thinks about their resembles to eachother and ask Kaito his parents name and Kai gets all hyped that he ends up marrying angel so he makes a ring out of grass and asks angel to marry him since it’s destiny

Well, great.

Maybe that was why his dad hated quirks so much...

He was just walking with his parents on a mall before a old man touched his shoulder before sneezing... Now, his give years old self was in only God knows where.

Tears started to gather on his (E/c) eyes before he saw a very much familiar girl a bit older than him walking nearby. Taking a breath in, he decided to risk it and follow her.

Extending his hand and tugging just a bit on the clothing, he looked up at her.

"Sorry but can you help me?" He spoke on a nonchantly tone of voice but his expression basically screamed at everyone he was scared.

"Oh hey!" The girl cooed "What do you need little man? Woah, you look so much like my friend!"

"That so... I-I don't know where I am... I was walking with my parents but then... they were gone."

"Ah, dont worry we will find them!" The girl tried to comfort him, but soon his attention was drifted to the house on their side... It was just like his own house of the Yakusa, but it seemed a bit... different. Like the construction was younger or something.

"What is your name?" The voice of his helper broke him out of his thoughts before bowing in respect a bit.

"Kaito."

"Just that? Well, I am (L/n) (Y/n)!" His (E/c) eyes widened at hearing the name. So that's was why she was so similiar! "What are your parents name th-"

"Oi." A monotonous voice echoed, coming from a boy very much like him but with amber eyes as he left the gates from the house on their sides.

That boy was his daddy! And the girl his mommy! He had gotten back on time?!

The boy aproached closer and glared daggers at him before speaking.

"What's going on here?"

"Chisaki kun this is Kaito! He got lost from his parents and I was helping him." Kaito looked at his mother but in a younger version before hugging her close, even as a kid, his mom still was just as kind as an adult... although his father-

"Hey. Back off." He growled as you giggled a bit "Hands off from my woman brat."

"Awww you're jealous of a little kid Chisaki-kun?" You cooed teasingly as he scoffed before pushing Kaito out of his embrace.

Soon, boy with white and arrow shape hear appeared, asking the same question as his father... although he let out something escape.

"Uncle Kurono?" He spoke in innocence but the three older kids eyed him like if he had gotten crazy.

"I'm... too young to be a uncle kid... But hey-" he put a hand on his chin while looking up and down at Kaito "You look like Kai here a bit, the difference is that you have the same eye color as (L/n)-chan."

"Dont compare me with a stranger block head." Kai growled at the boy before arching one eyebrow at Kaito again. The younger boy blinked before Kai puffed his chest and lift his nose up, making the kid remind of a peacock and giggling a bit.

"Whose are your parents brat? You cant stay on the territory of the yakusa without permission anyway."

"Uh... if I tell... no one of you will freak out? Because I was hit by a quirk."

"No of course n-"

"Spill it out." Thw dark brow haired boy interrupted the girl making Kaito narrow his eyes a bit on how much his dad hadn't change his behaviour with his mom.

"My dad is Chisaki Kai, the leader of the Shie hassaika while my mother is Chisaki (Y/n)."

The three older kids eyes widened as Kurono and yours jaws almost fell on the ground. Making Kaito sigh a bit.

After a pregnant silence you stepped a bit closer to Kaito and grabbed on his cheeks before cooing at him

"MY Son IS SOOO CUTEE!!!!" He whined a bit at you playing with his cheeks but smiled no less at the attention before his father younger voice muttered out loud.

"Is destiny. (Y/n) let's get married now."

"E-eh?!" The girl blushed furiously, even stopping playing with the younger boy cheeks at her shock as Kai grabbed her arm.

"If he is our son on the future then we're getting married as well. Let's just do this sooner them and end with this."

"Dude you cant marru at the age of 12."

"Shut up blockhead."

Before he could even process what was going on he blinked and it was on the same mall as he was before, but instead was being carried on his mother's arms instead of walking as gloved hands checked his temperature.

"Ah. Back to earth I see." His father mumbled nonchantly but replied still evident on his eyes as his mother hugged him tighter and kissed his forehead.

"Baby are you alright?" You asked while placing him on the ground to look at both of you before giggling and pointing at his father with a big teasing smile.

"Daddy loved mommy ever since as kids! And acted like a peacock!" You let out a confused snort as Kai arched one eyebrow at his son.

"What?"

Sounds like Kaito had a bit of explanation to call him a peacock on the first place...

Meta meme: 1, 4, 5, 16, 20.

hiiii! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING IN! I'm gonna put this under the cut cause it got too long - and thank you again! 🥺💖😭

(meta writer's asks)

1. Tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

welllll, i think i've answered this before too djkd! but, both of these are more like just a fun self indulgence project that I came to love the idea of it hehe! 1) regency vibes au - the title kinda give it away, but yeah, its actually a commoner x royalty vibes actually of one of my favs otp in it heh. and the progress, well its very slow - but its kinda like a graph, up and downs; but it hopefully has good progress all the way! and what i love most about it, well - i gained a new love for period movies now, and to imagine it in that setting; the whole process of it was so fun to think about. browsing for the aesthetics too - WAS SUCH A FUN PROCESS.

2) a second chance/flower & coffee shop au. - the title also gives it away like literally sjskksks! but, this is like more of just to explore the theme of second chances within well the same otp too heh! and, i feel like - its more of a meant to be thing too yknow? its one of my guilty pleasures tropes djkdkd! the progress is actually pretty slow? im still figuring out the pace of it all, there's like a bunch of flashbacks that kinda connect with the scenes during the present day which honestly feels pretty hard, but its fun! what do i love most about it, i think the exploration of it again and the fact that its kinda a projection of my little dream, coffee shop with books or maybe a flower shop too, if i cant make it irl - well, projection does help! hee

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

I have a few that I am quite proud hehe! So, im gonna lay it here! This is the first one, honestly - sibling regency banter. I think this part of the scene was definitely one of my favs cause it feels...just right yknow! hehe, also daphne belongs to @/wayhavenots! <3

"What's this?" She begins to read before an eye roll follows, earning a fit of laughter from Daphne herself at the reaction.

"Really Nicholas? You are old and rowdy, and you still read some gossip, unbelievable." Maia teased him, as he took a sip of his drink - an Earl Gray tea to be precise.

"And now you're drinking your best friend there, good for you." Daphne continues on the chuckles escaping her lips, before replying to Maia's comments.

"It's much entertainment through the gossip dear sister, and Nicholas here - was pretty fond upon hoping to find his own suitor through it, making it a much scandalous endeavor." Daphne replies as Nick almost spits out his drink, making the sisters giggle at the sight of him.

"Speaking of which, my work is much more important than finding a suitor. Mother already bit my ear off by the fact that I haven't found anyone yet, but I'm taking life by the breeze."

"Whatever it suits you then brother, here the story talks about the Prince's engagement with the Barsen's will be commencing soon. And I quote, "a special occasion" as the prince finally found maybe his one true love." Maia places the paper by her side, taking a bite of some biscuits laid on the table.

"Lucky for the prince - I heard Princess Lorelai was quite the angel of her own." Lady Margaret interrupts the conversation before she leaves to the back of the house.

ALSO THERE'S THIS ONE CHUNK OF A SCENE THAT IM IN LOVE WITH, SO i shall share it here hehehe! its actually more of a draft scene, but it feels like one of my favs hehe. (this is the shorter version of it!)

“And you, your classiness - would you want to be queen someday if it was written in your destiny?” he asked her again, as Maia thinks about it. She takes the flower crown they were making earlier and placed it on top of her head again.

“I think I'll stick with being the queen of the lands. The cows as my subject, and I'll give you a proper answer then your highness.” She stands up, and waves to the empty field. A burst of laughter escaped her lips, as Kent stood by her side.

“However, I think the king of the fields is needed to tend its subject. Shall we?” Maia pushes out her hand, and he takes it gratefully. Another flower crown on top of his head, like the laughter, follows their footsteps, walking around the field, waving to a bunch of cows literally. They were being the rulers of the field after all.

5. What character that you’re writing do you most identify with?

I think the one that I identify the most while in my writing, is definitely maia and a bit of Raylene there. It's a mix of everyone actually, but those two sorta have a huge chunk of me in it!

16. Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?)

I'm trying to dip into first style pov (But gosh, that feels so hard...but, trying!) and, I been trying to also write well, in historical vibes (which i tend to modernize lol, its hard jdkdk) and fandom - i might have some ideas in the future! but, those are kinda new changes, since I tend to stick with the norm sadly, but baby steps!

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

OOOHH, this is a good question. I think in writing, I love writing callbacks and clues. In one of my AU's - I wrote a scene where, its talking about a possibility of the future, and like it happens. I love when they do that, the foreshadowing is something fun to put in it! For characters development, I think one of those elements I could talk about is definitely more of a scene where the mc grows in the period of time the main couple broke up. They have been through shit, and they learn and when they see each other again, they... are ready. They felt more secure, and they both grow in their own ways, by going through a lot of pain in between the periods of time!

This question is honestly so hard, because my brain tends to go empty but, those are some of the elements that i really love right now!!

THANK YOU FOR SENDING IN, IM SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REPLY IT! <3

gaius: what did you just do?!

also gaius, five seconds later: i know what it was!! i just wanted to know where you learned it

merlin: 😐

merlin, about his magic: i was born like this

gaius, who knows full well warlocks exist: impossible!

(are warlocks naturally born knowing how to use magic without learning? i mean if u have to learn magic like a sorcerer then whats the difference between a warlock and a sorcerer cuz wouldnt sorcerers atleast have to have some magic in them to actually cast spells? am i dumb or do i just not get it)

wait so merlin arrived in camelot on a wednesday

merlin, walking into camelot: it is wednesday my dudes

merlin looks so offended, oh god i could watch this whole scene for HOURS

oooOOOO YES MERLIN FUCK HIM UP!!! SHOW HIM WHOS BOSS

“do i know you?” “im merlin” “so i dont know you” ugh theres already sexual tension

“i would never have a friend who could be such an ass” “or i one so stupid”

also them, ten years later: “i use my magic for you arthur, only you” “just hold me” “i cant lose him! hes my friend!” “thank you..”

“tell me merlin, do you know how to walk on your knees?” OOOOH THE BOYS ARE FLIRTING

NOT THE “would you like me to help you?” SIR YOU ARE FLIRTING SO INTENSELY AND DONT EVEN REALISE IT SIR DO YOU KNOW YOURE FALLING IN LOVE

im convinced atleast half the knights with arthur were like “ayo thas kinda sus bro 😳😳 ayo 😳😳”

arthur: tell me merlin, do you know how to walk on your knees? would you like me to help you?

merlin: ....i really dont know how to answer that

imagine being paid to throw fruits at colin morgan omg id be so thrilled

OOOH HERE COMES OUR QUEEN GWEN!!! MY LOVE MY EVERYTHING YES ILY

gwen: well, arthur looks like one of those, save the world kinda men... and you dont

merlin, 1500 years later, having failed his destiny: well i mean you’re not wrong

—

gaius: uther banned magic a long time ago

merlin, flabbergasted as if he wasnt raised on tales of the death of his kind every day in the kingdom right next to his: why?!?!?

gaius: the dragon is imprisoned where nobody can free him

merlin:

(that is the face of someone knowing full well hes going to free that dragon. look at him. he’s already made up his mind.)

—

[sees merlin and arthur in the marketplace] oh heres he is again heres the lil bitxh ooo theyre about to FIGHT

god hes flirting so hard without even realising it, oh my god

“i could take you apart with one blow” “i could take you apart with less” um sirs this is a mcdonalds drive thru 😃

arthur: ahah, you’re in trouble now~ 😏😏

i had to pause cuz wHAT THE HELL WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE THAT-

—

....yall are yelling very loudly, um, arent there guards near yall? people passing by? please relax

“im just a nobody, and i always will be” OH IF ONLY YOU KNEWWW

“if i cant use magic, i might as well die” ....well, ive got a surprise for you-

“maybe theres someone with more magic than me?” like... a whole dragon? i mean if you say so 👀

merlin about why he was born like this: if you cant tell me, no one can!

a fucking dragon, basically every magical creature and the druids: WELL-

the camelot guards are so stupid how the hell is this kingdom still standing

how does kilgharrah know merlins name? in prophecy hes known as emrys (and we see basically every magical being call him emrys and not merlin,, i think). so how does he know? did he stretch his neck long enough that he could somehow hear merlin? is it cuz theyre kin? is it cuz merlin and gaius were yelling so loudly that kilgharrah could hear them all the way in his cave? ig we’ll never know 🖐

merlin: where are you?!

kilgharrah:

kilgharrah: without you, arthur will never succeed.

merlin: ....oh look, im already paranoid

the amount of sadness i feel hearing kilgharrah say “none of us can choose our destiny, merlin. and none of us can escape it” is INSANE cuz in season one you can SEE merlin trying to escape it. hes doing his damned best trying to have some control over his life. and then in later seasons you can see the light slowly drain from his eyes as he becomes just another toy for the gods to be entertained by. he realises he cant control a single thing about his life so he does the one thing he can: protect arthur. and he loses SO MUCH because of it! its not fair, he deserved so much, and when he finally got everything he could ever ask for, it was taken away from him by his own mistakes.

arthur, seeing morgana in a beautiful dress: god have mercy 😍

uther: .....um

the way they set arthur and morgana up as if they arent gonna make them siblings i- what the fawk 😄

person A, who knows arthurian lore: oh no! arthur is going to have an affair with morgan(a) and have mordred! oh no!!

person B, whos seen merlin: oh no in this show its worse

person B, knowing full well theyre siblings: much worse....

gwen: who’d wanna marry arthur? 🙄

-

gwen, getting crowned queen of camelot: well fuck

hhhnghnh yes queen sing them to sleep yes murder his bitchass (and fail but like its the thought that counts)

on a sidenote tho this is such a fun way to murder someone, id try this

the absolutely OFFENDED “FATHER!” and the horrified look in arthurs eyss when uther announced merlin would be his manservant is PRICELESS OMG

oh the way uther unintentionally plants the first seed of his sons love story omg 😍😍

Conclusion: this episode is a 10/10 greatest episode with so many iconic scenes omg. mary collins u will forever have my heart for unintentionally kickstarting merlin and arthurs relationship destiny. i loved the whole thing and oh GOD does it already hurt knowing full well how the show ends

Reviewing Return of the Jedi

So the copying from twitter was harder than copying from tumblr so...

I fuckin hate Jabba the Hutt like how tf did the ancient movie makers make something so fictionally ugly that i wanted to throw up each time he appeared?

Bitch, you cant speak english but then you go say "Leia, my Leia" like is that all? bor-ring! And she's not yours!

And the part where Luke's message said 3-PO and R2 were gifts for Jabba and 3-PO was like 'what gifts?' and then 🤣🤣

Han not being able to see or think too much but then berating an absent Luke for his choices like 'he cant save himself!' had me in stitches like dude, you better recover first then get your witty retorts functioning lol

Luke's plan, especially when R2 threw him lightsaber was hella kickass and the action and fighting had me drooling. not to mention, the colour of his lightsaber made me wish to steal the pretty thing

Yesss, Gooo Luke, Chewie and Lando! (even though i dont like Lando much but...) *shrugs*

Yess, thank you Leia for ridding the world off the shitshow named Jabba because i was honestly tired of seeing his ugly mug

It was sad to see Yoda go like i wasnt too attached but his parting words, his wisdom and the way he vanished was...*sniffles*

I dont have too much to say about the movie since i was so damn immersed no thoughts came to my mind except, 'damn internet, work!'

But lets come to the part I have the most to say about the confrontation between Luke, Vader and Palpatine was what I have a little more to say about

First off, Luke was correct in telling Palpatine that his overconfidence was his downfall because ofc Luke knew!

And Luke, I kept getting the feeling he was right, ofc Vader couldve killed him instead of chopping his hand off. he couldve pulled him back by the force and finished him but he didnt

He let him go and pretended that Luke escaped! Fuck, i saw his dark side cracking right there and i knew it was about time he starts becoming a real father.

Didnt hurt any less to see Luke trying to reason with him and then getting nearly killed while still crying out for Vader, i think that is when he had enough and looked for opportunities.

It was so heart-shattering to hear Luke dying and begging for Anakin to do something while he was getting electrocuted (I'd call him Anakin because he had become Anakin)

And then for him to just kill Palpatine and knowing he was gonna die, wish to see his child face to face. It was shattering

And Luke, poor thing wouldnt be smug because there was nothing to be smug about, he had his father back only to have to let go.

It was so damn selfless for him to not let him go and bring him back with him for a proper cremation even though Anakin told him to leave😭

His parting words! oh fuck i wanna cry and i didnt give a flying fuck he wasnt hot as i expected because ofc he was old, but he indirectly told Luke to tell Leia he loved her and Luke.

Fuck! he mustve been feeling shit to say it so indirectly because of his deadbeat + evil father tendencies but 😭😭

It was sad to see him go, sad to see him burning and i cried even harder when his force ghost appeared with Obi-Wan and Yoda and even though i was horribly upset...

I knew those three would lead and guide Luke to his real destiny, to the freedom of the galaxy. Even though it was too late and no matter what he did in the past...

There is no doubt Anakin became a loving father in the end and I wonder if he wouldve been good if he was allowed the opportunity to know baby Luke and Leia

And i think the movie makers thought that was the end, they may not make new movies with the celebrations and fireworks in the end. They also resolved Han and Leia's relationship...

P.S. What did Vader do that killed Palpatine? electrocute him with his own magic?

P.P.S. Fuck, as if didnt find the evil, black get-up hot af, Anakin had to turn out a hot mofo in his youth! why?! I am in loooove again!!!! why you die Anakin hot mofo with hotass name?!😅
