KPop Demon Hunters Notes

What’s a tropey movie about kpop without some commentary on unhealthy working conditions? Rumi losing her voice because of the pressure she was put under (by her guardian, herself and her growing demon marks) was part of it too.

LOVE that Huntrix lyricist Zoey’s idols were the Sunlight Sisters and that she’s been writing since she was in US, even before meeting the other girls! AND that she brought her words with her to the stage 🥺 These girls are so supportive of each other.

Anyway... THE TIGER

I was looking for tiger symbolism in Korean temples and stumbled across this statue of a bodhisattva and his tiger xD The resemblance is uncanny!

(However further investigation revealed that it is… a lion. Oh well…)

However, that did lead me down a wonderful hole of Korean wall paintings called dancheong. Here's a lovely blog post about this art, a paper about their construction and a facebook post about who makes them and how xD In the paper, I noticed something most mysterious...

What does this remind you of?

THAT'S RIGHT it's the design of Huntrix's first stage!

So if blog and facebook posts are to be believed, one of the purposes of dancheong on religious buildings (or palaces) with its vibrant colour was to guard the structure from evil spirits.

Which then calls one other thing to mind!

The tree with streamers where Celine can often be found. Honestly, I believe that is where generations of Honmoon guardians are buried, and she just wants to remain near her sisters in spirit. More on this in another post?

We see this quite often in kdramas or movies. This is a seonangdang, which is a shrine that acts like the guardian of a village. There are different types of these shrines, and this particular form is with stones are piled around an old sacred tree with decorations attached.

This place was intended to help keep away misfortune from the village and drive out demons. People also hung colored fabric or five-grain rice on the tree between New Year's and January 15 to pray for a happy year. People passing by the shrine would pick up a stone and throw it onto the pile to drive out demons on the road. (Source)

One more thing about protection against evil spirits... but as tumblr now only allows up to 10 photos in a post, that will be left for the next one!

Just want to say.... I love Leverage. And Redemption. I adore Eliot. And Parker. I love the whole gang.

I've never been a confident fan fic writer, but I've been posting my stories on ao3 for just over 2 years now, and they've mostly been received fairly well. (I'm WhenICantWrite, if you wanna look.)

So thanks, Leverage fandom. You're awesome!

Howdy Y'all

Wow it's been a hot minute, huh? Life has been really, really wild! I quit my old job, got a new one, moved in with my partner, had to quit that job, and have been spending the past few months recovering from some pretty gnarly burnout.

Yes, I'm still really into Trigun. In fact, I have a mini sorta-shrine for Vash where I keep my candles and booze (it was my partner's idea!). I know I haven't written any fic in quite a while, but I do intend to. The Write Your Ticket series means a lot to me. It got me through some of the hardest times these past years, and it's helped me make a lot of friends. I finally feel less burned out, so I'm really hoping to get back on this particular horse - or tomas - soon.

Love and peace, and happy new year!

Not much art on this one because I wasn’t feeling artsy at the time, but have a sticker collage! Some of it is a bit blurry because of the heart beads glued on <:.P

You can view the other half and more pages here too, just keep in mind some pages have nsfw stuff.

Sorry for my absence. Life has been beyond brutal lately and I haven't had the energy to be on the internet the past couple months. I still don't have energy for witch workings but I'm going to try to write some helpful posts to queue up for y'all!

Three lights are of Brighid: firelight, twilight, and starlight.

Three lights are of Brighid: the light in the home, the light in the mind, the light of truth.

Three lights are of Brighid: the light of the hearth, the light of realization, the light of hope.

Absolutely disgusted to see AI "art" in the pacific drive tag tonight.

(Un)Friendly reminder that if you support AI slop content generation you should get the fuck off my blog.

It was a long day of looking for the location of a parts store to pick up a part for my car. This is one of the reasons why I hate driving across Moscow - the traffic is so bad and I'm afraid of messing something up and going the wrong way, every damn time. I bet I have topographic criticism or something.

But I took a couple of photos and I really like them. just want to leave these here

RW: Mod testing

making a quick post about which mods I have in my game that are working/need test runs/not working/got glitches/etc. -- Working/Has Been Updated: -Slugpup Safari -Music Announcements -Mouse Drag -Slugcat Stats Config -Emerald's Tweaks & Features -Dev Console -Where Does This Gate Go -Let Them Yap -Inventory -Pups+ -- Mods That Haven't been affected by the Watcher Update/Patch: -Simplified Moveset (still working, although the game implies it needs updating) -Immortal Pups -Super HP Bar -Carnivorous Scugs -Friends of Friends -Bandanas -All Cats Dual Wield -Auto Parry Spears -Testing Arenas (Steam Legacy Version) -ID's Expanded -Genetic Slugpups -Unshaded Citadel -Pups Everywhere -- Mods that need updating/are currently broken: -Visible ID's -Beastmaster + Beastmaster Pup extras -OP Artificer -Keep That Away From Me -Pup Karma -Reputation Control -No Expedition Permadeath -- Mods that I still need to test if they're broken or not: -Grapple Saint -Rebind Everything --

Edit 1: I discovered a bug within the OP Artificer mod that causes the creation of explosives to not work, even if the player has food. (Explosive spears disappear within crafting, Rocks don't become bombs) Edit 2: Pups+ has been updated, I did test the No Expedition Permadeath mod & it appears to be somewhat broken. Edit 3: Genetic Slugpups, Pups Everywhere, & Unshaded Citadel have been tested, seems to be unaffected by the Watcher Patch.
