Summary:
In 2060 AD, scientists invented a mobile phone that can travel through multi-dimensional space, named "Silly Girl" (played by Shu Chang). "Silly Girl" traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, and assisted Sun Wukong (played by Ding Jian) to subdue the Yellow Eyebrow King (played by Chen Chuang). After several days of fighting, it ran out of energy and passed through the time tunnel and fell into the hands of Xiao Qian (played by Li Bin), who was straightforward by nature. The appearance of "Silly Girl" was like a god's help to Xiao Qian. He invited Sun Wukong's brothers and sisters to defeat the Yellow Eyebrow King who was still greedy. You Suowei (played by Jiao Enjun) took advantage of Xiao Qian's drunkenness to get "Silly Girl", but at the same time he also gained greed. He asked the hacker Dongzi (played by Qu Gaowei) to copy "Silly Girl" for him. The equally greedy Dongzi and Wang Tianba's wife Sun Feiyan (played by Zhang Qian) learned about the magic of "Silly Girl" and quietly copied one more for themselves. You Zuowei, who knew the truth, would not allow others to take his love away. He sent Dongzi and Sun Feiyan to an ancient battlefield more than a thousand years old. From then on, the three of them were incompatible, which kicked off a time and space war between the present and the future, the future and the ancient times, justice and evil...

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"
#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall#y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these#rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything#BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes#'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and#acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something#managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show#''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was#set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol#OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting#around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye#BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by#putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones#when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or#magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like#'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i#the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action#fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally#defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just#opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of#points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its#bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol#Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully#agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

when god fragmented into a thousand pieces of creation, some pieces took human form. they have all of god's talents of miraclecrafting and realitywarping, but the human mind cannot comprehend that power. to avoid destroying the universe, they locked their abilities behind talents. the fragments of god can only perform their magic through mediums they understand, that they can blame and credit for their miraculous abilities so that they do not know the magic comes from their own divine nature. this is the relationship Alec Hardison has with computers.
#leverage#i just started the show and there is no way this man doesn't have magical powers#'this cell phone is a metal detector' shut uuuuuuuuuuup

my favorite part of descendants is how absolutely weird you can get with timeline stuff. canon makes it seem like every story took place in 1995 and now it’s 2015, but you have stories that took place in the 1500s and others in the 1700s and others in ancient times. and as much as canon may like to pretend everyone has adjusted to technology they probably wouldn’t realistically have, not everyone would want that. basically what i’m saying is i want horse drawn carriages on the same streets as cars, some people with landline phones and others with cell phones, people wearing a modern dress next to someone in a medieval gown or greek tunic. i just think it’d be funny.
#camelot has already canonically stayed in the past#so why can’t other places#also like. how do they have phones#tv i believe because some stories do take place when tv exists#and would realistically keep being developed#but cell phones?? magic. magic is the only explanation.#anyway. i have thoughts on how they count years now#disney descendants

It's hard being the new kid...
Sort of "modern" HL AU
Meet Iñaki "MC" Martinez Cariaga! She's the new transfer student from the United States. She was late for the sorting ceremony so she's currently houseless right now, hence the gray tie. Unfortunately for MC, her ancient magic is a magnet for attracting trouble and getting her into situations she rather not be in, sort of like Percy Jackson.
Fun Facts:
Normally her eyes are brown, but ever since she ended up in the UK, if she's around the presence of high Ancient Magic activity, her own ancient magic activates, turning her eyes a magical blue. They also turn that color when she's using it. At the advice of Prof. Fig, she tries to keep a small flow of it running consciously if she's not at a nearby ancient magical source.
She's also big runes fan! Since her family comes from both Central and South America, she has a big love of studying Mayan glyphs and Incans quipus (they use that instead of runes to conducting their magic). She also knows some indigenous words in Kaqchikel and Quechua; some for fun and some for spell casting. Seeing Norse runes in person was the one thing she was definitely looking forward when going to Hogwarts.
While she doesn't originally goes by MC back in the States, it became her deferred nickname/shorten version of her double surname Martinez Cariaga to use at Hogwarts. She's gotten tired of both professors and peers taking too much time to say it or have them accidently butcher her surnames (or first name even). Her nickname of MC is used so often that it gets to the point that barely anyone remembers that her name is Iñaki 🤣
Ancient Magic & Hogwarts Castle
I headcanon that the Hogwarts Founders were ancient magic users who build Hogwarts and never told anyone about their abilities. Since the place is humming with Ancient Magic, MC's eyes are always a constant magical blue. It's when she leaves Hogwarts grounds that she has to focus on maintaining that magical flow.
The Big Move, Fourth Year & the Reserved New Girl
Unfortunately, Iñaki's dad lost his job during the first layoffs of the Great Recession in early 2008. Thankfully, he had a buddy who hooked him with a new temp job in London, causing the Martinez Cariaga family to move across the pond from New York to London during the end of summer. While she loved the idea of traveling and going to Europe (and maybe even learn more about the different ancient runes used there), she wasn't too pleased at the idea of moving abroad and leaving everything she knows and loves.
Instead of starting her freshman year with her close friend group at Excelsior (NYS magical school system, Ilvermorny is the New England private magical prep school - the most famous, oldest and only school most people know outside the US), Iñaki is starting 4th year at Hogwarts.

Note: The words between "< >" is spoken in Spanish. MC comes from a Spanish-speaking Latino household. If the words are not in between "< >" assume she's speaking English.
6: At the end of MC's first week:
MC:
<¡Hola Mami!>
< I'm fine. ¿And you? >
< Nothing interesting happened this week. >
< ¡NO! ¡It wasn't like I fought a dragon or a troll this week. >
< ¡Just because I faced the Jersey Devil in 6th grade or the Headless Horseman in 7th OR befriended Champ at Lake Champion in 8th doesn't mean weird things always happens to me! >
<¡I'm fine Mami! Nothing happened...>
<¡I had to Mami! ¡He told me he wanted to give me a "proper Hogwarts welcome" before we started! I told him "That's how we say 'Hello' in New York." Made it too easy for me by saying his spells out loud. The prof said I was a great example of how magical duels are different in the New World with our non-verbals...>
<He was cool with losing. ¡Sebastián even gave me a tour of the magical village nearby and introduced me to the "dueling club" the school has! >
< We dueled together…¡It was fun! I almost forgot how much I miss home… >

8:
MC:
< I still want to go home. >
< No Mami. I don't mean visiting you guys back in London. Home as in New York. >
< ¿Why should I make friends if we're only going to be here for a year?>
< ¿It's only a year...right? >
< ¿Right? >
< I gotta go...I promised my classmates I'll study with them for our exam next week. >
< I love you too. >
"Bye."
*Flips phone closed*
*Ends call*
......
MC's trying...but she is rather homesick.
She's now stuck in Hogwarts and isn't too keen on making friends since she has no clue whether she'll be there for a year or not - it all depends whether if they extend her father's work contract and she's isn't keen on making friends if she's only there for a few months in her mind. It gets to the point where Sebastian trying to friend her is like an unstoppable force meeting an unmovable object. (He ends up winning though when she accidently slips up and calls him her friend later on in the year).
For now though, MC is a very angsty teen right now and had her world flipped upside down.
At least she can take out her angst in dueling club 😅
I want to thank @myokk for listening to my ideas about my MC and to my sibling who needed to borrow my laptop for work (leading me to doodle and actually make a digital drawing on my tablet -that I use as a second monitor for work- since I couldn't edit some papers on those days). Without them this drawing wouldn't have happened.
I'm never doing this ever again because I a bit too perfectionist for art and I hated the number of layers I needed. It was supposed to just be a SIMPLE digital doodle!!!! Instead I made this 😭. Never again. I'm sticking to my pen doodles. I was bored out of my mind and I was either reading or doodling while my sis was testing out her new laptop and I was on stand by in case she needed me.

Maggie stiefvater can keep mentioning things like Instagram and Tiktok but I live in denial and continue to believe that there is NO WAY these books take place later than 2005
#it’s giving 2000s kids nostalgic for the 90s#also I get that they’re supposed to just be a group of magic nerds who are generally above that#but there’s genuinely no explanation for blue not having a smart phone and a landline being the only other option#vibes are very much that limbo period where fancy people had cell phones#maybe even early smart phones#but most people still had their landlines#adams car has a TAPE DECK#and Ronan knows how to make him tapes#even shitty cars and boys who are anti technology can’t do that in 2023#ALSO#the way blue dresses would not be particularly special now#that’s how all the cool kids dress#rant over#for now#the raven cycle#maggie stiefvater#blue sargent#ronan lynch#richard gansey#adam parrish#300 fox way#the raven boys#the dream thieves#blue lily lily blue#the raven king

also unlike the other names, 'Mirnatius' doesn't sound even vaguely eastern european to me. like, what is that, greek? it would make sense since his mother maybe isn't from the same area as the other characters, but it's not a name that's remarked upon as unusual, which strikes ME as odd
#I feel like I've given it a good try and maybe I just don't like other genres besides fantasy and the occasional nonfiction#why force myself to read mystery or drama or whatever if it bores me. I haven't been this excited over a book in months#she went into a forest with a magic jewelry set!!!! thats so cool!!!!#now I just have to find one that doesn't enrage my commie side#doesn't bore or depress me. doesn't make me feel judgemental over its poor quality. etc.#this is a pretty good one but it remains to be seen how it goes#even tho this is technically ya it doesn't come off as immature which I think is more important to be than not being ya#I don't mind ya. I don't always want the MOST messy or complicated story. it just has to sound/be relatively mature#like moderation you know#this is why I love dunmeshi and cql a lot. adult historical fantasy with great characters and cool worldbuilding#cql having heartbreaking emotional journeys and this romance I'm obsessed with really adds to it#but at the core a lot of the stuff I love is really similar. except hxh I guess for the modern stuff but nen is literally used more than#cell phones in most of the arcs#spinning silver lb

...This lotion I have smells like a sandalwood incense blend, and it's making me so nostalgic.
(It's this one if anyone's wondering, it's wonderfully moisturizing and does NOT leave my hands feeling greasy at all! Which is a MIRACLE for me with lotion! Also it smells lovely if you like sandalwood. Sisu likes the smell so much, he keeps trying to lick it off my hands.)
Anyways. I haven't used sandalwood incense in so long... The smell brings me back to being 15, meditating for three hours at least twice a week...
I'm so glad that for the first four years of my neopagan practice, I had a separate room to meditate in. Because I was under the impression that a lot of neopagan people are well into their adulthood, that "if it's natural, it's safe." Including for pets.
That is NOT the case. Not at all! Many things are toxic or unsafe to pets, even if they're made with the most organic materials you can find! (Hell, plenty of organic stuff is toxic to humans...)
I didn't know that burning incense and candles was dangerous for my birds! But luckily, SO so luckily, there was an entire Other Room I'd do all that in.
The only exception was when I got Spooked^tm by a weird sound after a Samhain night with some friends and a ouija board (don't judge me, and don't worry, nobody got possessed). Anyways, I burned a shitload of sage to smoke cleanse the whole room (attic room AND the room with the birds, just in case the thing I suspected was lingering Moved), and Fizzy (my first ringneck dove) started coughing/wheezing. Luckily I was able to figure out what was wrong and snatched him and held him right in front of an open (screened) window.
He stopped wheezing in a couple minutes, but it was scary in the moment. Nowadays if anything like that happened, I'd be rushing my wheezing bird to MedVet because statistically, if you're hearing noises, there's probably already fluid in those lungs. Which for birds, can turn very deadly very quickly.
Which is why it is a VERY good thing I never burned 2 sticks of incense and like 9 candles in the room where my birds were.
Nowadays I don't use incense or candles at all, actually, because of course the birds are in my room, the same one I meditate/spellcast in, but I now know that even having them In Another Room is risky for the birds. So I just. Don't burn ANYTHING unless I'm outside.
I'm well practiced enough that I could meditate while standing in line at airport security if I wanted to, anyways. I don't need the whole sensory aid thing anymore. ;P
I will admit, it was Nice, but having Alive Healthy Birds is even nicer.
#Sidenote: For the record ouija boards are at most a communication tool. They're not portals to hell or whatever.#The Exorcist lied to you. It's a fricking piece of cardboard marketed by the same people who own My Little Pony.#You're no more likely to summon demons with it than you are by buttdialing Satan on your cell phone.#Which doesn't happen and that's my point.#You have to be trying REALLY hard to summon a demon; that doesn't happen by ACCIDENT.#Also you can't really ''summon'' ghosts just by putting your hands on a letter map. If you're getting an ''answer''#then most likely Someone's Already There to take your call.#Not Zuzu or whatever but ghosts and spirits are all over the place. So don't worry. Ouija boards aren't tools of evil or anything.#I'm fine and I spooked myself and while I think I DID trap something in that room that wanted to leave#it certainly wasn't a demon.#But that's a tangent for another time entirely.#rhs personal posts#rhs pet adventures#posts for the mystic corner#digital mirrorbooking#(Tangential mirrorbooking but pet safety is part of magic too when you own animals in the same household!)#((At least it is if you're being RESPONSIBLE about it.))
