sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

Hopping series for a minute, that's also why Harrow's refusal to condemn John at the end of Nona the Ninth hits. Harrow knows that she has never had power that she didn't abuse. She has hurt people, badly. Partially because of her self-hatred born of guilt.

She can't and won't absolve John, but she doesn't have to condemn him either. So she doesn't. She refuses to condemn him because she sees herself in him. She refuses to condemn him as part of her journey to learning how to stop condemning herself.

last official evanuris creature doodle! everyone's favorite special princess with so many disorders!!! ghilan'nain!

i initially started this series with elgar'nan bc i thought he needed to be more creature in datv especially compared to ghil so i kept putting her off because ... she was already quite creature but! i like where i landed with this design. i purposefully didn't look at the art book spread when i was sketching her to try to do something a little different (though i did end up going with two sets of arms still). i tried to lean a little more sea creature with her design and at the end decided to give her halla horns as well :)

other evanuris: elgar'nan | falon'din | dirthamen | sylaise | andruil | mythal | june

they probably had an argument before this idfk

[rayfishandchips]

we should start asking "who is the prosecutor in this relationship and who is the defense attorney" instead

Am I the only one that feels like NTs HATE saying 'I don't know.'

You will not believe the amount of times I'll ask a basic objective question about a situation and they'll give me an answer, only for later the answer to be completely wrong. And then when I ask them why they would give me wrong information - they say 'I just guessed.'

I didn't ask you for your guess. I asked for the information. If you didn't have the information don't just GUESS. Say 'I don't know.'

I feel like NT don't realize that WRONG information is worse than no information.

If I want to know when an event will end and you say '5pm' - I'm going to be mentally prepared for 5pm. And if it DOESN'T end then, not only will I be out of energy, but I'll be irritated and confused because I'm in an unfamiliar situation with NO INFORMATION

Had you just told me 'I don't know what time it ends' instead of GUESSING 5, then I would've prepared for the worse. But now I have to literally rearrange everything in my head and talk myself down from meltdown cause I was given inaccurate information and also I thought I was going home.

But they act instead like saying I don't know is a moral failure.

My father used to yell at me all the time to not say 'I don't know.'

He'd always demand I figure it out and come up with SOMETHING no matter how uninformed or vague and that's how you have NTs walking around feeling like it's a crime to admit they simply don't know something

and instead they'll just shamble something together and hope that's good enough regardless of whether in the information is actually helpful or correct.

IT'S SO ANNOYING. JUST SAY YOU DON'T KNOW.

Stop guessing and giving me WRONG information because it only makes the situation worse and more confusing. Say you don't KNOW. It's FINE.

I just find it very interesting how the same people who are always talking about how important the mental health of drivers is and feel personally attacked when another driver even just alludes to their faves, turn around and defend their faves talking shit about others.

A whole ass witch hunt was started because Lance called Daniel an "idiot" directly after a crash on the radio, where emotions clearly run high. Meanwhile he's been called slurs by other drivers and is regularily catching strays for the tiniest mishaps. But that's funny right? Because it's Lance! He totally deserves being treated like shit, right?

I had the worst idea. And with that, I mean one of my usual ideas about Descendants that can explain things and make me sad at the same time.

Belle is dead.

No, okay, that's not canon, or it may be in a certain way, just listen to me for a second.

She doesn't make sense, both she and Beast act and reason in ways that have nothing to do with their cartoon (or even live-action) counterparts, that's easy to see.

Now, we can retcon the whole franchise and simply make her disappear, let's say she died when Ben was little (just like Adam's mother in the live-action...) and Beast half-repeated history out of grief (bad temper, seclusion, not listening to anyone...), so he went a little back on his worst habits and let Fairy Godmother and Leah make all sort of important decisions in his place. See, fixed. Disney should hire me lol.

Or, for a more complicated theory: the one we see isn't the real Belle. Because she died and no one really knows save for the one(s) who brought her back from the dead. But it's notorious that people who come back from death don't quite get back right, no? So, Belle is different because she can't be the same.

Even more complicated? Hell yeah. See, in some versions of the tale, Belle is a changeling, a fairy child left in the cradle of the real youngest daughter of the merchant in place of his almost-dead one. (in some other versions she's the daughter of the merchant with a fairy, sometimes the mom is the very fairy who cursed the Beast, but that's not what we're talking about here). So, what if the real Belle is the one we see in Descendants? Think about it: fairy Belle dies but baby Prince Ben needs a mom, the kingdom needs a High Queen, and the Beast will go out of his mind if he loses the love of his life and Auradon isn't stable enough for that, so the fairies simply switch them back again, the human Belle with the changeling. No one sees the difference, or they call it postpartum stress or whatever, but she is different in all those subtle ways.

Ben never finds out.

(Well, until Mal figures it out somehow. Or Hades, very likely for the second one)

Making progress on my tee.

I started this with 2 big cakes of Noro Kakigori (they were on sale so there you go do) and I knew I wasn't going to buy another, so when I hit the end of one I doubled back to finish up the sleeves and neckline.

I can do a tubular bind off without having to look it up now :D

The pattern is Dingley Dell by Isabel Kraemer.
