My favourite deck I keep in regular use is the Ostara Tarot. I love the art style and the unique perspective it has on the classic tarot themes, and it’s one of the few decks I own made as a collaboration between multiple artists that doesn’t feel jarring or mismatched, artistically. When I’m doing public readings it’s always one of the decks I bring to the table.

My favourite deck in my whole collection is probably the Idiosyncradeck. I don’t use it for public readings or take it out of the house at all any more because it’s out of print now and I wouldn’t be able to replace it if anything happened to it. But I adore the art and working with it feels like sitting down for tea with a beloved and absolutely ruthless old friend.

What's your favorite tarot deck, everyone?

I've collected a few of the "big" ones over the years and never felt quite a connection to any of them as I do the Wildwood Tarot.

Just want to see what your thoughts are and which decks you've found connections with!

.⋆｡What is a Marriage｡⋆.

Bruce Wayne x plus size reader

It is your wedding day, a joyous occasion for all, except you and your new husband

Warnings: regency!au, arranged marriage, misogyny, mention of drug rings, fluff WC: 909

6k Bingo Celebration

Library- @hannibals-favourite-meal-library

For as long as you could remember, you were taught that you would marry a lord and a rich one at that. While your brothers would marry to carry on your family’s name, you would be responsible for another family, another home and any children that your husband saw fit to give you. You would belong to a man that your father believed would be the most capable of giving the entire family a chance to climb the social ladder. 

Part of you was excited for your debut upon the marriage mart. You dreamed of the gorgeous balls and beautiful gowns you would wear to catch the eye of a gentleman who would spoil you rotten with love and affection. Your mother’s sisters constantly told you stories of magical evenings with their future husbands as they began to court. 

Yet only a few before your debut, those dreams were stomped out by your father’s announcement that you would be wed to a man you had never met in a week’s time. Shamefully, your escape attempts though childish, were unsuccessful and only served to have your last remaining privilege of choosing your own wedding dream taken away.

And so, here you were, sitting at someone else’s table, eating food picked out by a stranger as you sat next to your new husband whom you’ve already forgotten the name of. This was definitely not how you pictured your Wedding Breakfast, alone save for your husband and his butler, your father hadn’t even the decency to let your mother attend.

You sighed and picked up the newspaper your husband had abandoned a few minutes ago. Your husband’s blue eyes flicked over to you but you ignored him. The smudged ink of the headline drew your attention; ‘Masked Vigilante Exposes Drug Ring’. It made you scoff.

“Is there something the matter?” His deep voice cut through the silence of the dining room, aggravatingly sending a shiver down your spine. You refused to look at him.

“This vigilante, it seems he’s doing a better job at protecting Gotham than the police. A damn shame they’re incapable of doing their jobs properly.” You flicked to the next page, pretending to read as you gauged his reaction. Would your husband punish you for swearing and belittling other men as your father would have done? You were met only with the soft clink of silverware and the footsteps of his butler.

“More coffee Master Bruce?” 

“Yes, thank you Alfred.” Bruce (what a modern name) cleared his throat and you finally made eye contact with him. “Are you a fan of this vigilante?” His voice tilted up like your brothers’ did when they teased you. 

You twisted the heavy ring on your finger, your stomach tight as you waited for the inevitable cruel punchline of his joke. “He’s doing something to protect people. I think it’s noble.” His lips quirked up and you couldn’t help but remember the brief peck you had shared an hour ago, your first kiss.

“Do you?” A flash of anger burned in your stomach as heat crawled up your cheeks. 

“Don’t patronise me.” Suddenly, his expression dropped. You watched him stutter over his words as he scrambled to explain what he meant. Alfred chuckled under his breath while he took your full plate of eggs and instead replaced it with some fresh fruit pastries. 

“I didn’t- I wasn’t,” his broad shoulders dropped, “I’m sorry.” He almost looked like a sad puppy like this, his head lowered, eyes wide with a genuine remorse, his fluffy brown hair hanging down along his strong cheekbones. You almost felt bad about your outburst, almost. 

“What is it that you want from this marriage? Children? A wife to obey your every whim? Who turns a blind eye to your indiscretions?” You hissed but he didn’t flinch, only taking a deep breath before he stood and rounded the table. Instead of pulling out the empty chair next to you, he knelt beside you, his hands taking yours.

“I want a companion, that is all. I know you had no choice in this marriage, and for that I apologise, it is not how I wanted this to go. But I can give you independence and freedom just by giving you my name and my wallet. I only ask that you humour me with trips to the city together, the opera, anywhere, as long as society sees us together.” He twisted your ring back so the bright purple amethyst sat right against your knuckle once more.

“I can do whatever I want?” 

He reached up and gently cupped your cheek. “I am your servant. Ask me for anything, and it is yours.” Butterflies fluttered in your stomach as you nuzzled into his foreign yet comforting touch.

“And what if I ask for your heart?” 

“Then it is yours.” He said with a smirk and you couldn’t help but believe him. And as he leaned over to press a gentle kiss to the back of your hand and then to your cheek, you wondered if this was what your mother’s sisters meant when they said that you would just know if he was the one.

Perhaps you could be more than a commodity to be sold. Maybe Bruce could be more than the man who bought you. You glanced at the headline again as another feeling stirred in your gut. Perhaps, there was more to life than what you had been told.

Messages for you people

Hello everybody ✨ a very tiny PAC in the form of poems. I hope this has some messages for each and every one of you. I have chosen these poems for your pile intuitively. None of them are written by me and credits to the rightful owner.

Just a warning that this is a general reading and it is only for entertainment purposes. So take what resonates and leave the rest for others.

Let's get started 💪🏻

Pile 1 ---- Pile 2 ---- Pile 3 ---- Pile 4

Pile 5 ---- Pile 6 ---- Pile 7 ---- Pile 8

Pile 1

Who are you,

Really?

You are not a name

Or a height, or a weight

Or a gender

You are not an age

And you are not where you are from

You are your favourite books

And the songs stuck in your head

You are your thoughts

And what you eat for breakfast

On Saturday mornings

You are a thousand things

But everyone chooses

To see the million things you are not

You are not

Where you are from

You are

Where you are going

Pile 2

When you start to feel

Like things should have

been better this year,

remember the mountains and valleys

that got you here.

They are not accidents

and those moments weren't in vain.

You are not the same

you have grown and you are growing

you are breathing, you are living.

You are wrapped in

endless

boundless

grace.

And things will get better

there is more to you than yesterday

Pile 3

When you are washing the dishes,

washing the dishes must be the most

important thing in your life.

Just as when you are drinking tea,

Drinking tea must be the most important thing in your life.

Drink your tea slowly and reverently,

as it is the axis on which the whole world revolves - slowly , evenly, without rushing towards the future.

Live the actual moment.

Only this actual moment is life.

Pile 4

No need to prove anything

to anyone more than

anybody realisation you have been

incredibly strong. You have taken

care of things alone. you have

fought with all your might.

you have had too little rest.

It's okay to stop and let

your guard down for a while.

It's okay to just stand still

or stay afloat. it's okay to

not feel alright. it's just human

To hurt. it's okay to surrender,

as we will never forget that we

will begin again.

Pile 5

You being here , presenting yourself

to the world, despite your thousand

messes and scars, is an accomplishment.

I know there are many things that

drain you silently. I know you

have a lot of struggles that have

been there for so long. you deal with

so many frustrations , fight with so

many inner demons.

I want you to know that I am proud

of you and believe that you are

strong. don't say you're weak.

don't think you're incapable.

what you are showing now is great

courage. You will get through this

and when you do, you will go many

places, celebrate great stories, move many people

believe in yourself

Pile 6

If you feel you are a mess,

please look at the stars

and realise that they are too.

Look at the formless clouds

and tangling branches of the tree

they are too

listen to the songs of birds

and crickets,

you will find no melody in it.

but they continue.

Because sometimes it's the greatest thing we can do -

be a mess and continue

Pile 7

Forgive yourself for the

mistakes. You're in the

process of making you

better. those who do the

same will understand you.

those who don't, let them

go for they will slow you

down

move forward and uplift

your heart

Pile 8

When things are hard and you

feel like you cannot go on

any further from here, remind

yourself of this : sometimes

it's the difficult that brings

out the best in you and shows

your truest strength. but you

have to believe in yourself

more than your circumstance

in order to grow and make

progress you cannot let the

difficult turns in your journey

stop you from moving forward,

from fighting for the life you

truly deserve

Thank you for reading this PAC. Will be bringing the next one really soon. Byeeee.

one of my favourite things in the world to do is sit for a couple hours and paint little designs on my nails and most of the time theyre lowkey pretty ugly (or at the very least incredibly messy) cause i'm incapable of choosing a design at my skill level but it is a Necessary hobby and i love doing it. also over my 18 years of living i have never thrown out a bottle of nail polish so i now have 30 and counting. and what else am i going to do with all that

[ultrone]

I’m up late so here are some HC’s I have of the girlies

Nat:

- You get her one of those “back off, I love my gf” shirts as a joke, expecting her to never put it on and she wears it RELIGIOUSLY. She is so proud to wear that shit

- (If you’re lucky enough to have a positive male figure, a grandfather or father in your life) one time overhears Nat talking about her home life and now that male figure is determined to make her feel safe and happy. He’ll insist that you both join him for fishing and while you’re apprehensive, Nat is 100% down.

-She never has water or lunch because she forgets/chooses to not take care of herself so you drop it off to her at practice everyday

- She sleeps with a stuffed animal but will not let ANYONE know

Shauna:

- Early riser, even when sleeping w you but she will just happily lay next to you, holding your hand, admiring you while you sleep just taking you in for a few extra moments.

- she has a scrapbook of everything you guys have done (movie tickets, Polaroids, etc), and she also keeps all the flowers you’ve ever gotten her in there after they’ve dried and withered

- She loves stargazing, she knows astronomy and can and will point out the constellations to you

- Reading to or with each other is common and probably a love language, especially reading the other to sleep

Lottie:

- Surprisingly very good at all the fine arts; she can draw well, she definitely can play the piano bc her rich parents paid for her to have lessons, etc

- Blanket stealer; she insists on having the AC CRANKED at night, then steals the blankets while you both are sleeping and you wake up with hypothermia while she’s snuggled up in all your blankets

- She wasn’t allowed to have a pet so you buy her a single goldfish once and she loves it so much, she let you name it (you named it something stupid but she still calls it what you want) it dies in like 2 days because as intelligent as she is she is incapable of taking care of another living thing and she is inconsolable for days. You got her a succulent to make her feel better

Jackie:

- Clingy (derogatory) sure it’s cute of her at first until she’s waking up at 5 am for her morning practices and wakes you up too so you both can “brush your teeth together”

- She will always ask for your old marked up books to read and she makes small notes in the margins in a different color before giving them back (She has reading glasses too, and she looks gorgeous in them)

- She asks you to help her stretch, or roll out her muscles before practice but she doesn’t need help she just wants to get you flustered and have your hands all over her

I LOVE THEM 🤭

nat would wear that shirt 24/7 istg 😭 especially as her pjs, and omg i love the idea of your male parental figure inviting nat to everything as well 🥹 even if it’s just something simple like going out for brunch, it’d make her feel way better and more welcomed. and her forgetting to bring lunch everyday is SO REAL 😭 then she’ll prolly buy a bag of chips and a soda as her first meal of the day and then complain about having a stomach ache 🙄 GIRL… also for sure, i bet her plushy is a little white bunny with long ears that was given to her as a toddler.

shauna has always given me the vibe that she wakes up at 9am idk but yeah she’d def just lay there looking at you 😭😭 and the scrapbook thing is SO TRUE, i bet she also adds entries of everything you do together 🫣 since she loves stargazing you got her one of those custom star maps of your anniversary day and she LOVED IT 🥹 and she for sure loves reading to you and hearing you read her favourite books to her

i def see lottie being good at drawing and playing the piano 😌 i also bet she’s especially good at painting landscapes and stuff like that. whenever u complain about her taking the blankets, she’ll just tell you to snuggle up to her to get warmer instead of actually sharing her blanket with you 🙄🙄 but if you’re the one stealing the blankets she’ll pout and whine for hours until you share them with her… the AUDACITY 😒 my girl came back from school on a random day and realized the goldfish wasn’t there anymore, she got concerned and asked the domestic helper what had happened, and she told her that the fish died like two weeks ago ☠️☠️ when i tell u lottie was SHOCKED… she was so embarrassed that she told you that it got a weird disease and died from natural causes LMFAOO

jackie waking you up so you can brush your teeth together is so real 😭😭 my girl doesn’t get the concept of having “alone time.” i just know it takes jackie an hour to read 3 pages, i bet she spends half of that time drawing silly little doodles all over the margins ☠️ and for sure, she also asks u to rub sunscreen on her body even though she could do it herself, she just wants to feel your touch 🫣

[lulu-spooks]

I’ve been trying to get into Hozier lately, and seeing as you seem to be the resident expert on him, what songs would you recommend starting with?

(I know his more popular ones obviously, like Take me to church, Too sweet, and Nobody’s soldier, but I want to know about some of his secret bangers)

EEEEEEEE!!!! You’re in for a treat!

And thank you for the acknowledgment of resident expert, I have 10 years experience in hozier listening and I don’t play about it.

So the thing about hozier is that I truly believe he has a no skip discography on all of his solo works. And pretty much all of his collabs are also bangers (with the possible exception of tell it to my heart. Don’t start there)

Ok so from his first album I want to highlight a few tracks, Jackie and Wilson, from Eden, work song, like real people do, and to be alone. They are all sonically very similar (as are most of the tracks on the first album) but they all sound totally different. The instrumentation stays the same for most of the tracks but I am literally incapable of mixing them up. They all have unique sounds while still remaining cohesive in the context of the album. Expect great guitar and vocals, very little to no synths, funky beats (including some fairly cool time signatures). Excellent lyrics, definitely worth reading along. Especially cherry wine which at first glance sounds like the most beautiful love song but if you read along you’ll see how violent it is.

Wasteland baby is the second album. Standout tracks for me are Nina cried power, dinner and diatribes, would that I, shrike, be, and the title track wasteland baby. This one is definitely the sexiest album. Expect much more exploration into bluesy tunes and sound effects, the beats are getting even funkier, the lyrics are catastrophic and feature a lot of references to Greek mythology. This is the kind of album that you sit at the end of the world and listen to while everything falls apart. Wasteland baby the song epitomises this. It’s the conflict between standing up and fighting the broken systems that oppress people vs the need to give up and wash your hands of everything. Admitting we tried our best and it wasn’t enough. At least I have you. The deluxe tracks for this one are some of his best work on this project so check out why would you be loved, nfwmb and moments silence too.

Unreal unearth. This one is my favourite and my being has been altered by this album in ways I can’t even describe. Every song is a grade A hit. It’s actually my favourite album of all time I think. Honestly everything on this one is worth listening to but at some point once you’ve listened to all of the tracks individually, I cannot reccomend enough that you sit down and listen to the whole thing in order. No pauses. The whole thing with this album is that it’s a journey into the underworld inspired by Dante’s inferno. Each song occupies a different circle of hell and discusses topics surrounding the cardinal sins that are punished in each circle. It’s worth searching uk which sings belong in which circle. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a concept album but it uses the story as a great jumping point for exploring moral, political and religious topics that are not discussed in the original cantos. This album is a masterpiece and I could literally write about it for hours but my thumbs are already falling off so I’ll keep it quick. Standout tracks are Francesca, first time, eat your young, abstract psychopomp, who we are, unknown nth, all things end, first light, de selby part 1 and butchered tongue. If you want the more explicitly political tracks choose eat your young and butchered tongue and READ ALONG. I could write fucking essays just on eat your young. This album was also written in the context of covid 19 and the lockdown and songs like all things end really make a heartbreaking but uplifting anthem for this period in time. The general sound of the album is very different to the two preceding albums. Expect much more manipulation of vocals and distortion of instruments. Expect more instruments. Expect full orchestra and stripped back guitar. Expect drums that sound like thunder and lightning. And for gods sake read along with this one. Cuz it’s fucking fantastic lyric writing and a lot of it can be missed in his pronunciation. When Andrew learns to annunciate it is OVER for us all.

Extended songs from unreal unearth are numerous and you’ve said you’ve heard nobodies soldier (also very political) and too sweet. I’d also recommend wildflower and barley for a soft lockdown summer feeling tinged with hopelessness, empire now as an anthem for Irish liberation and how much it was fucking worth it despite the troubles that followed and that you are for the most year inducing love song also within the context if lockdown. Just see “that I’d be anyway that you are” which will I’m sure soon be written on my body in tattoo ink. Through the flood acts as the introduction to the full album experience, hymn to Virgil is the last one.

Anyway have fun I tried not to write a fucking essay but I did. For unreal unearth in particular I have read no less than 5 books to examine source materials for his lyricism. I also learned a fuck ton about production to understand how he gets the sounds he does in his music. All to say this guys music is my whole life. And it can be hard to tone it down. If it all sounds confusing I’m sorry I’ve been writing this for like 40 minutes and I just did a full day in the recording studio and my brain is fried and my fingers are dead and I need to sleep, where I will probably listen to ‘to someone from a warm climate’ to sleep. Bye :P

I'm trying something for fandom artists/writers

Well, as I don't have anyone to tag (I'm really the least sociable person in the world and I'm too scared to talk to people in the fandom 😂), it's up to those who see this post to participate or not (if it turns out that it's not going to take at all, but never mind!)

Well, as my thing is drawing, I'll go with that (but you can adapt it to writing for those who write, or anything else for that matter!)

Last drawing:

Favourite drawing:

Well, I'm cheating, I'm putting two in because I can't choose 😖 On the one hand it's my best pastel drawing (to say it's also my second realistic portrait in colour) and on the other the painting I did with my grandmother and it's also the first time I've done anything other than a portrait in realistic drawing with a background and so on.

Hated drawing:

Right, then. Here again it's hard to put just one. I'm VERY hard on myself and I hate almost all my drawings 🥲 But really, if I have to choose, there are three that I really can't see any more because I find them so horrible.

Future project(s):

Following the poll, I'm going to start working on a new portrait of Garreth.

Next up, why not draw Ominis again (I've taken several in-game screenshots of him that I'd like to do to work on the backgrounds) and I'd also like to draw characters I haven't drawn yet, like Natsai or Amit.

And maybe one day, when I'm bored because I can't find any more images to use as models, I might draw some MCs from in-game screenshots.

And apart from drawing, I'd like to finish writing my OS by the end of the year 😂

Favourite artist:

There are far too many talented people in fandom ❤️

But without hesitation I'd say @tamayula-hl! Long before I dared to post my drawings online, I admired her work so much and even today I jump on every notification as soon as she posts! I know I'll never reach her level but her work is a source of inspiration and motivation (even more so now that I've switched to watercolour and I'm still trying to figure out how to work with colours, the way she works with colour is so incredible 🥰)

And I can't thank her enough for her post showing all the possible angles for Ominis' and Sebastian's hairs, it was so helpful 🙏🏻

And I admire @choccy-milky too! These are the two fandom artists I've been following since I started on Tumblr a little over a year ago 😄

One or few points on which I would like to improve:

First of all, I've managed to stop transferring the outlines of my drawings. Yes, it's a bit cheating to transfer, I know. But if I don't do it, the proportions are going to be catastrophic and that's going to piss me off (long live my perfectionism) and I'm going to stop and stubborn as I am coupled with my lack of self-confidence, I'm never going to want to draw again. So for the time being, we're going to keep tracing 😅 We'll see what happens in time.

But most of all, I'd like to stop depending on images I find on Pinterest or Tumblr and just reproduce them as drawings. I'm incapable of doing anything other than faithfully reproducing an image 😢 It annoys me, because I'd also like to post lots of drawings of my MC Evangeline interacting with other characters 😞 And the worst thing is the difference in my drawing level when I do something that doesn't depend on a reference image! (the proof: my drawings of Evangeline and this drawing of Ominis)

I took it upon myself while writing this post and forced myself to do a drawing of Evangeline in 20 minutes without a model (I just traced a neutral pose from a drawing dummy to have my base and improvised from my watercolour of Evangeline for her outfit).

You be the judge:

The end of her leg and her shoe is a disaster 😭

Well, that's that. I don't know how it's going to turn out and whether any artists/writers are going to take part, but it was a fun post to make!

[starsailores]

top 5 bands you would tell someone to go listen right now (as I'm looking for music recs hehe)

answering these together for the sake of ease, and because my answers to both would be the same. will probably elaborate a little because i am incapable of being normal about the music i like

of monsters and men. forever and always. my head is an animal is heavily inspired by icelandic folklore and that comes through in the music itself as well as the lyrics, and has some incredibly beautiful songs on it. beneath the skin leans a little more into the indie rock side of things, while staying true to their indie folk roots, and i of the storm is my favourite song of all time (the album is also quite sad at times, and if mhiaa was the 'monsters', beneath the skin was the 'men'). and fever dream is more rock/pop at times, very experimental, but just as good as the other two no matter what people say. i adore them.

lord huron. a lot of people think they are my favourite artist, and i talk about them regularly on here, for good reason. lonesome dreams is lila's album, strange trails is holland's album, and vide noir is kell's album. i could talk about that at great length if prompted. similar genre to omam with the indie folk/rock and the experimental third album, ben schneider has an incredible vocal range, and they even have lore. they have so much lore. there is a movie and everything.

sleep token. my dear mutual cats whatareyoudoingwithamaserati introduced me to them a couple of years ago, and they quickly worked their way up in my rankings thanks to the combination of raw lyrics, genuine emotion and dedication to their craft rather than the fame, and the way they are constantly growing as musicians. more on the metal and rock side here, though not as heavy as some of the metal i have since listened to, but their softer songs are just as good as the ones with intense breakdowns

fontaines d.c. only started listening to them outside of proximity to my parents early last year, but ive seen the way their style has evolved between dogrel and romance, and while grian chatten's slightly monotone inflection isn't for everyone, they are incredibly talented and a lot of fun to listen to. their earlier albums are generally described as post-punk, but i think rock is more accurate on account of they do not stick to one style and have said that they do not like to be confined by the expectations of post-punk.

skott. was hard to choose between skott and idkhow here, but skott is far less well-known and has a beautiful voice which she merges rather skillfully with both traditional instruments and synths + distortion, and is one of the few 'pop' artists whose music i find genuinely interesting. been recommending her to people who want to branch out a little for years now, and will continue to do so. and her lyrics. her lyrics. <3

will stop there, but i am always up for music conversation and asks and such. it is very dear to me

[yarnandink]

What are your favorite inks and fountain pens? I've tried a few of the more popular ones (Safari, Metropolitan) and they felt designed for people with huge hands, not my tiny child hands.

I've been using the Pilot Kakuno (love!), Waterman Hemisphere, and Pelikan Twist and they've been great! (Yes, I know 2 of these options are specifically designed for schoolchildren).

My current ink obsession is Iroshizuku's Amo-Iro, it is such a vibrant blue!

Oooh, excellent questions! And thank you for asking about my favourites in the plural, I'm incapable of choosing a single favourite ever 😅

Pen-wise, I'm a Kaweco Sport girl. They're short, like my fingers, but with a reasonable diameter for comfortable grip. And many of them are made from more durable materials than plastic, which is a huge plus for me.

(Side note, I had three beloved Inoxcrom stubby fountain pens in university, which had a steel barrel but plastic grip, feed and cap. Said plastic oxidised over time and became very brittle, until the thread connecting to the barrel started snapping off and making the pens unusable. Heartbreaking, which is why I now prefer metal or resin pens!)

Of my Kawecos, I think my favourites are my two Kaweco ART Sports, from series four. The Mineral White and Hickory Brown resins are both GORGEOUS.

(I yearn for the Metallic Green from the ART Sport series 3, but that's a separate matter.)

However, Kawecos do have a downside, in that the nibs are of varied quality. Two different nibs of the same material and size can behave wildly differently.

Nib-wise, I am very fond of my Ystudio Revolve Portable, and of the single Sailor ProGear Slim I can afford. Both are truly beautiful writing experiences! The Ystudio nib is buttery smooth with the teensiest bit of flex, and the Sailor is a beautiful fine writer with a pleasing amount of feedback from the paper tooth.

As for inks, I have too many favourites! I adore the Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-Ro, the way it subtly shifts from dark blue when wet to dark teal when dry.

I'm also a big fan of Wearingeul inks! They make some beautiful shading inks, and some incredible shimmer inks. Something for everyone!

And I love multi-shading inks, like Sailor Manyo Haha, or Troublemaker Inks Foxglove.

But I also have a soft spot for Robert Oster inks - it's a local (to me) brand, very affordable. Sadly, a number of the inks have a tendency to change colour in the pen over time (blues turn green, pinks and reds turn brown), but enough of them are reliable to keep me coming back.

[starlightshadowsworld]

What is your favourite fight in Black Clover

... I am physically incapable of choosing one sooo you're gonna get my top 5.

Though these aren't in any particular order.

I am only on chapter 305 of the manga so these might change.

.

1. Asta, Finral and Vanessa vs Vetto.

I love that fight.

I will never shut up about it.

It is great both as a physical fight, the teamwork is amazing.

And also for what that fight means in story and too Finral and Vanessa's characters.

.

2. Mereoleona vs Rhya.

I love how much they hyped up Rhya.

How epic his copy magic is, he's so amazing and he's so high up with the eye of the midnight sun.

...and Mereoleona just bodies him.

He throws everything he has at her and it does nothing.

It's more of a onesided massacre than it is fight.

It's fucking glorious.

.

3. Magna VS Dante.

That punch is one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen.

I will never tire of characters showing what their made off, that they shouldn't be underestimated.

The amount of work it took him, the lead up the payoff.

So good.

.

4. Vanica vs Charlotte.

Okay technically this fight is still going but I love it.

I didn't think Charlotte could be more cool.

And I am so glad I was proven wrong.

Like holyshit she just went oh my curse? Oh that's supposed to weaken me?

How about no?

How about I use my curse to fuck with people who are cursed.

The Captain of the blue roses turning her roses blue.

Yesss!!!

Just all hail Queen of the Briars I fucking love this and I can't wait to see it continue.

.

5. Asta, Yuno and pretty much everyone vs Zagred.

Like it begins with Asta and Yuno and well those two teaming up will never not be awesome.

Yuno in his spirit drive form.

Asta in his demon form.

And seeing everyone else join in.

Mereoleona, Yami, Licht, Lumiere etc.

It's just so awesome seeing everyone.

Elves and humans, all of them come together against the dude responsible for all of this.

The payoff and the amount of foreshadowing all of this is amazing to see.

Yami gets serious.

And in the anime the first opening is playing.

Just 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

7, 20 end of the year asks?

Hiii thank you for asking 💙

7. Favourite actor of the year?

I should preface this by admitting that I am incapable of choosing Just One. like, ever. that said, this year I really really liked Tseng Jing-Hua's, Yu Shuxin's, and Omid's acting!!! so so good

20. What's something you learned this year?

I learned sO much this year but I think one of the most important things I've made progress on was learning how to hope 💙

End of the year asks? 🥺

Hi MJ! Happy nice ask day from my side of the world!

Okay, since you said Rent was your fave musical, what is your favorite song from it?

And an unrelated second question, what are you most proud of in your life?

This is like asking me to choose a favourite child how dare.

I mean, real talk, I’m functionally incapable of having a favourite anything 😂 what I CAN tell you is what I’m vibing at any given time. And my instinctive right-now answer to this was One Song Glory, though I can’t speak to how much that is just because it’s right in my range and I lowkey wanna play a gender-fucky Rodger one day 😂

And damn we’re going in deep with this second question! So not to get too, like, depressing on main or whatever but I’m pretty fucking proud of surviving my dirtbag teenage years. There were several different facets of that time that meant that wasn’t a guaranteed outcome, but… here I am. Mostly functional. Living a life 15 year old MJ definitely wouldn’t have thought would happen. 💖💖💖

I don’t want to feel any of the things that I’m feeling right now, I know they aren’t good or rational things but I don’t fucking choose what I feel.

I hate everything about myself I’ve spent the last couple days just wasting away in bed I cry before I sleep I cry when I wake up I jerk off multiple times even though I don’t want to and it doesn’t even do anything. I can’t get a vape anywhere, I can’t get alcohol anywhere, I’m NOT taking another Zyn. all I’ve eaten the past three days is Taco Bell. The only good thing is I’ve sort of managed to stick to my 1000-1200 calorie limit and STILL I look like a fat fucking ugly pile of human waste. I can’t even say anything out loud when I’m crying because it feels disgusting to listen to my voice. I’ve tried pavloving the bad thoughts away by hitting myself as much as I could but it doesn’t work I don’t know how it worked when I was younger but maybe I’m just used to it now. I should try harder

I can’t bring myself to believe that anyone wants to actually love me. I think the only people who want to befriend me are those who are the most amazing people in the world but for the time being okay with the bare minimum. Sometimes it’s because they don’t have a choice like with tanay, or because it’s the easiest option like with z. But I really am not even the bare minimum, I can’t talk to you I can’t do anything helpful I’m simply there and I can’t understand a single fucking thing. Too stupid too ugly too incapable to love or to be loved.

I just want someone to love me in a way that makes me believe they love me even though they have absolutely no reason to. I don’t deserve any of it and I should be discarded it’s what I deserve but I can’t help but want it and I know how stupid and fucking cringe this sounds. Look at me being sad and shit like I have anything to be sad over, I’ve only made other people sad my entire life and now I want a reason to have attention again like I always have. I don’t know why I want all this attention fucking asshole I know I don’t deserve it why do I want it.

I deleted that entire paragraph fucking PERFECT. I hate tumblr and it’s stupid. Ugh

Tanay has his friends and is no longer my best friend I was only his best friend because he didn’t have anyone else in school and even then I was horrible to him during one of the darkest times of his life and how that he’s found his people I’m sad that I’m no longer his best friend instead of being happy for him because nothing has changed and I’m still a horrible fucking person.

It’s the same with zann. I miss her calling me over at stupid hours just to talk and hangout I miss Halloween and her birthday and that time we went on a walk and when I visited her in the wood shop. The night is my favourite time and I loved spending it with my favourite person.

I’m sad that I can’t get my silly little stupid fucking nighttime hang out with my best friend instead of being happy for her like I fucking should because like I said. I’m a selfish, self obsessed horrible fucking person who is incapable of anything except caring about his o n self. I don’t think I’ve ever done a single thing selflessly out of love ONE TIME in my entire pathetic excuse of a life. I’ve said it to myself— hell it’s why I considered dating again— I’ve said it to her and it’s abundantly clear by just being around her, she’s HAPPIER. She said it herself she feels like something in her is fixed and clicked in the right way. She looks, talks and feels so much happier and I AM so so happy about it. Even her family clearly has noticed it of course they incorrectly believe it is me who’s responsible, If anything I was probably why she was that upset to begin with. Incapable fucking pain in the ass that I am.

And now instead of being happy for her and calling it a day, I’m sad that what? My friend is spending time doing what brought on this happiness??? That she finally has someone else in her life in college who makes her so so happy??????????? I should be glad not sad that I don’t get my stupid fucking calls and night hang outs you stupid fucking fat ugly useless horrible excuse for a person you wouldn’t feel any of this if you were ACTUALLY A GOOD FUCKING PERSON. GOOD PEOPLE DONT FEEL JEALOUS OF THEIR FRIENDS’ HAPPINESS THEY ARENT LIKE THIS.

Even Tim and digha, I don’t believe they ever considered me a best friend if I’m being honest but I considered them one! And I was ok with that. Now all I’ve done is distance myself when I’m upset, ignore them when I’m upset, and worst of all make it soooooo clear that I’m upset that they can’t even just walk away like they should and would be 100% valid in doing because who does that. I’ve essentially guilt tripped them into being with me but at the same time I’m taking the time that they are forced to give me and I’m saying hey! I’m miserable sorry I won’t be reciprocating any of this. Fuck you!

It doesn’t matter that I know that I’m a bad person, it doesn’t matter that I know what’s good apart from what’s bad. If I truly wanted to be good, if I genuinely believed and lived as a good person, I would live by these oh so fucking rational thoughts. It’s simple, I know what’s good and what’s bad. And yet, I continue to be a bad person. Nothing has changed since school, I’m still a horrible person I’ve only gotten better at hiding it.

u post important stuff every time I’m the slightest bit absent 💔

but I saw what I thought was a repost and was like omg hot, this must be a good writer only good writers write scrumptious scenarios like this

and then I saw it was u

and went

oh

my

god

this is gonna eat.

bc we haven’t been fed in so long, specifically me I’ve been literally deprived (deprived of literature)

between your writing and Oedipus Rex I’ve only read one ongoing gojo fic among my nightly searches for the utmost perfect husband gojo angst drabbles

omg u should read that tho like updates are gradual but lord it’s so like spice idk it seems like a basic premise but so seasoned it’s delicious

I forgot what it’s called but it’s archangel gojo x demon reader

so there is moral dilemma involved though so it’s up to your discretion ofc

btw I don’t mind waiting for updates though that just makes the excitement of when u do post all the more

and you have to be satisfied with the chapter too obviously

Also about the whole smut fiasco it’s basically the same, ik this is late but I just wanted to share cause I could whip out screenshots for evidence rn

I LOVE the slow burn i think it was my initial favourite thing about kickoff and u got me drooling for ihm too

I remember when I started reading and I got to chapter I think 8 the bed trope chapter

Ugh I wish I could just whip out the screenshots of me yip yapping to my friend about it and that was also in person

But the back and forth had me HOOKED on that chapter particularly

cause it’s like he’s gonna make a move-ok no she is - ok he’s definitely gonna-

U get the gist Ellie I love your writing more than my unborn future children xx

why am I simply incapable of sending short n sweet asks

hi my love!! ahh you're so sweet thanks for enjoying my works :'') and yaaa sobs i feel bad for slow updates but it is what it is lol

i'm so happy you enjoyed ch8 of kickoff!! :''0 i just love slow burn romance, it's my favorite kind. the tension, fleeting touches, those random dialogue slip-ups where they say something that reveals how they truly feel...that gets me going 10x more than explicit smut lmfao. so that's just how i will choose to write! i make no more apologies lol

thanks for your support bb it's nice to know you enjoy kickoff sm :''') i appreciate you!

[mcrizzystardust]
