#Healer and harmer

[brokenpathways]

Which character archetype are you?

the Matryoshka Doll.

Someone with layers, and a painted surface hiding deep intricacy below. A person who changes completely in a blink of an eye, a person with contradictions but something cohesive holding everything together.

"Some people are both healers and harmers.

They try to fix everyone they can, but in the end, they have no strength left to heal their own selves."

Hey, glad to see someone interested in Egyptian myths! Before I met astrology, always felt a connection between me and the goddess Isis. Then I realized that Isis conjunct sun/mc and said yeah.. I knew it. So now I checked the asteroid Ptah, wondering your thoughts on these two. Sending you love and more!

aries (1°, 13°, 25°) isis: these isis people are powerful leaders - they tend to create peace. they bring forth balance when their subordinates are bickering or fighting. often they will snap and suddenly there is silence that reigns over a whole room. their temperament is generally peaceful and causes a sense of balance but their anger has the incredible ability to scare people into silence and rethink what they are fighting for. these people are not the healers, but the "harmer" in the sense their means of finding balance is to silence a room with cutting words (their brutal honesty can sometimes hurt).

scorpio (8°, 20°) isis: these are the healers of the isis people - they are the pheonix of the sign progression - from ashes (death) they rise. like isis, they too can bring people from the brink of death - these people make excellent - surgeons, nurses, and psychologists. they don't mind getting their hands dirty either when it comes to keeping balance in the realm of the dead and the living - the word "palliative care" comes to mind - they aren't just in the business of keeping people alive, but they are also in the business of comforting the dying. these people have a passion for medicine. but unlike the goddess these people are not quick to forgive - they often are rather resentful.

sun-isis: positive aspects: like the aries isis people, this aspect makes a person a great leader - they have a great authority that makes people listen. they are powerful and confident which makes them worthy of being followed - they have a mind for the importance of maintaining balance among people. they want others to feel confidence and powerful too - they great motivators. they want everyone to be strong individuals so that together they stand strong. negative aspects: these people may abuse their influence over others - it seems like a cultic or narcissistic leader placement. these people will say "x is the means to finding peace" but it is only so they can get what they want - they have others act so they don't have to. they may seek balance for selfish reasons rather than the good of all people. they may not be the right person to be a neutral party as they tend to be self-motivated.

pisces (12°, 24°) ptah: these people are the scientific explorers of the group. they are likely to make a scientific discovery - if they go into that realm of study/practice (i get big bang theory vibes). these people otherwise (or additionally) are incredible schemers; they can make dreams into reality. they also have a wondrous gift when it comes to comforting those who experience suffering and sorrow.

scorpio (8°, 20°) ptah: this is another scientific pioneer of the group - specifically the medical realm. they can bring life into the world where there presently is none. this can be by the means of new life changing ideas or physically bringing life into the world. these people also have a gift for comforting those who are hurt or are dying.

jupiter-ptah: positive aspects: the great manifester - these people can bring anything to fruition. they achieve greatness when they create. they tend to share their thoughts in a very meaningful and inspiring way that tends to inspire others (writing your philosophy of life may be your great success). they can be advisors or bosses of big businesses. their ability to use logic and ethics is what makes everyone else look up to them.

saturn-ptah: negative aspects: these people are pretty good at closing the loop - they may not be the best creators, but they know how to make a clean break. these people have the pathos of great leaders - they entice people by telling them about their experience and it inspires a change of course. it is those who have had the greatest woes that tend to inspire the people. these are the people who others tend to trust - because honesty/vulnerability breeds trust.

algal bloom (lawzo hanahaki fic with a twist), part 3

Part 1, Part 2 Part 3 (this one)

Death of his father and death of his mother. Confirmed. Death of his sister? More than probable, had been going to lose her anyway. Death of his benefactor. His second guidance counsellor (the first one had lain down her veil and left Flevance, and was maybe alive and healthy somewhere). Death of his love of pain although he could bear his own. They said he was a murderous fuck, and he was to those who senselessly hurt others. Even so, the way he dealt with them shocked but didn’t hurt. The corpse flower bloomed once every very dark seven-year, ten-year period. Kali of the night and a healer and harmer like her, its aroma was the strongest in the dark morning leading into the early light. It emanated heat, warmth. Attracted carrion beetles and flesh flies. The smell of death didn’t necessarily make Law sick. The smell of smoke didn’t honeycomb him into a maze of neurons like ants scurrying pathways home. But Law’s mind was a crannied pockmark of death, and so he valued life. Zoro. He didn't want Zoro to sacrifice himself to the plan. Any plan. The corpse flower was the largest in the world, and could only hold its head up for a day, a day and a half at the most, before it collapsed. Law was glad the leaflets had lodged in Zoro's system. What kind of survival for the hanahaki sufferer was there if a flower bloomed intermittently and soon after died? Only to appear again a decade later, although the flower appeared more regularly after its first showing. The stench, though. And what about the green algal slime and its creep over Law’s belongings? He didn’t let his crew touch it. “Toxic,” he warned. And it came from him. Secreted from him. Coated anything that he touched.  “Looks like Zoro’s hair,” Shachi murmured.

The guys have been holding steadily the whole day! Current stats:

August 10, 22:28 (UTC, +9).

Currently only a percent between the two ships. The biggest distance was 1.4%, I think! (LawSan 49.3% and LawZo 50.7% at one stage: 1.4% difference). And I check the voting numbers. They keep going up. It just really is that jujutsu holding pattern spell!

Ooh, it took me a while to edit this work. Current status now:

6% between them! 20 votes in an hour. I took that screen cap at about 23:22, August 10 (UTC +9). I'll try and finish this story if the guys win! (I'll try and finish it anyway, but, y'know!). Obviously every vote counts! Please vote ZoLaw if you haven't or you're sitting on the fence.

The poll link is here and great propaganda is here.

Dunno if reblogging this will help at all at this stage, but if you wanna! 🥰 Less than 3 hours to go!

I'm both a healer

And a harmer.

I fix everyone I can

But in the end ,

I have no strength left

To heal myself ❤️

Heal-her

I’m a healer who can diagnose everybody else’s pain but my own.

I’m a harmer who knows not to be violent with others but to myself.

I patch up people with my own skin. Tear myself apart inch by inch.

And with every soul I heal, I get so good at it. I learn different types of pain for the next hurt to treat.

But with every soul I heal, I run out of it; the skin that covers my own pain - the hollowness I try to fill in.

[dandydandelion-07]

Quotes

There's a difference between being a healer... And a harmer. You can save everyone, but in the end if you can't save yourself... You're just as much a harmer as you are a healer. Love yourself so that way you may save others

[besidethedyingfire]

In the sleek new days of earth, snow covers erratic fires and green pastures alike. Nothing remains untouched by the cold, and trying to survive without a community is a death sentence. You and your mother are moving from camp to camp after being exiled from your old community, trying to survive on the limited resources you can find when, beside the dying fire, your life changes in more ways than one.

Beside The Dying Fire is an upcoming interactive fiction story by Nova Lea Games. BTDF is rated 18+ for depictions of death, violence, childbirth and explicit language. Explicit sex scenes are also depicted, although skippable.

Your goal is undoubtedly to stay alive— the cold alone is a cruel killer. Worrying about the people, their weapons and hunger is another thing entirely. The choices you will decide who you are, how you react and whether or not you survive. Your choices also dictate the path of those around you, who takes reign of your heart and who you turn out to be in the end of it all.

— Customise your pronouns, sexuality and appearance, as well as your backstory and personality traits. Dictate who you are as a person, your greatest strengths and biggest weaknesses. Ability to use multiple pronouns also available. (she/theys unite!!)

— Interact with a diverse cast of people, five love interests and multiple opportunities to add to your family. Make enemies, develop lifelong friendships and even fall in love— two polyamorous routes are available, as are friends-with-benefits scenarios…👀

— Interact with engaging combat scenes, adventures and explore the new world the story is set in. Make decisions that could mean you thrive, or die. Explore your abilities as a warrior, medic, scientist, hunter or homesperson. MORE ABOUT PLAYER TYPES HERE

— Play as someone who is trusting, or someone reserved. Choose how you convey your emotions, if at all, and which people you let into your heart.

— Try and save the lives of the people you travel with. Avoidable deaths are prevalent, and even your own lovers fate is in your hands…

— Witness (or stop) the end of the world.

Although romance is a pretty focal point of this IF, it is completely possible to play through without romancing anyone (I see you, desperate aro readers) without losing too much of a plot line. Explicit scenes can be turned off at the start of the game too, and won’t affect your romance stats or ruin plot. <3

The snow is perceptive, it sees and hears and watches, waiting. It comes like grace and settles in beautiful sheets of ice that children come to play in and photographers capture for an eternity onwards. Messina Cole is the daughter of the snow, though she comes in blizzards and hides the green grass forevermore. She freezes time and holds it captive like the camera capturing a snowy day hostage forevermore. Messina is not grace, but she is beauty personified.

M

Old folklore in the communities would call the dark night a dangerous place, lurking and evil. One that is unafraid to slit another’s throat and watch them bleed out into the white snow. Old folklore in the community was a waste of Murphy Coles time and he refused to take any part in story time, he had a job to do, watch his sisters back. She hunts, he fights off anyone keen on stealing their game. The old-timers compare the ruthless mind of Murphy to the darkest hour of the night.

Stark contrast to the debilitating cold, the warm embrace of the sun. A healer at heart, one look from Summer Darcy and your soul is healed, your heart whole and mind renewed. She is a healer, never a harmer and has the innocent and loving smile to prove it. None are truly cold when put in a room with the girl who’s heart is warm enough to make even the darkest nights shine with love.

M/F

Silence is a killer, murderous and distasteful. It steals the words from your own lips and replaced them with nothingness, leaving you to choke on air. Shaes inclination to silence has meant they haven’t spoken a word in three years. A stealthist, Shae is called upon by the community to steal, and never once get caught. Their silence is domineering: what are they thinking?

M

A poet from lands far away. A lover, a thief and a liar. Someone’s been leaving you letters beside the dying fire.

New Inmate.

She may not have been in prison before but she couldn’t imagine it was much worse than being in the priory. Same rules applied. Walk in head high, back straight. No eye contact. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Don’t seem cowed by the guards or overly defensive around them. Breathe. Just keep breathing.

She peeled the gloves from her fingers, dropping them in the crate in front of her. Long coat next, shrugged off and deposited. She felt like she was peeling layers of skin away, each leaving her more vulnerable than the next. The plain boilersuit she was given in exchange was too big, requiring a belt and the cuffs to be rolled up to stay on. It didn’t feel like armour the way her leathers did. Her attitude would have to do that heavy lifting. Shouldn’t be too much effort.

What she hadn’t been expecting was the way the place felt. It looked bad enough on the approach, gathering dark clouds around it and the walls reaching up into the sky like jagged cliffs. As they got closer, she felt something. In the bottom of her stomach but also around her head, making her teeth ache and waves of nausea crashing over her like waves from the estuary. It felt bad. Like badness had seeped into the brick and metal and left a wound in the world around it. The guard had mentioned that this had went from a holding cell to more of a catch-all bucket, every psyker unfortunate enough to be caught shoved in here to wait until a path to Terra was reforged. Which didn’t look like an event that was happening any time soon. So the prison, that was never intended for this task, was straining at the seams.

Psykers were living and dying, fighting and fucking, pressed together in a space too tight to contain them. Waves of psychic energy enimayed outward and inward and crashed together. Seraphina was suddenly deeply, deeply thankful that she was not a telepath. This place would be like hell on earth, and she had now seen just enough of hell to not want any more of it. 

She had asked the guard, in passing, how many of the psykers were like her. She knew there were telepaths, brutes with telekinesis, diviners, those who manipulated luck and those who manipulated bodies, healers and harmers. Apparently, pyromancers didn’t tend to last long, either taken down or burning themselves to ash. They died. Quickly.

Which gave her a unique advantage in this place. Flames curled around her fingers, more comforting than terrifying. She wasn’t sure how long she would be here before she was considered to have repented enough. But perhaps, far away from the halls of the priory and the bodies she cared about, she could consider this place a real training ground.

Bruises

Bruises. Purple and red blooming beneath skin, on a throat, on an arm, a wrist, a broken bone.

Old bruises, just healing. Yellow and brown, signifying a new start.

Fingers, of a healer or a harmer, brushing across the array of colors on the characters skin. Feeling their muscles jolt, involuntarily, away from the touch, from the pain. From that horrible ache beneath their skin.

[operaghcst]

@pawkyhumored​ said: ¿ for a confused starter!

thread starters. ━ accepting.

The Phantom stared. He didn’t think himself a man that was easily confused but here he was. Confused. And it was surely a matter that no ordinary being would be confused over but ah, that was his way, wasn’t it? Being momentarily baffled by things nobody should be baffled by. But the matter did nothing but perplex him!  This Watson was a doctor whose duty was to heal, or so he thought, but...

“You are a healer,” he stated. “But you went to join the harmers. Is that normal? Is that what people like you do?”
