#chaos philosophy

[askmalal]

The galaxy is vast. The Universes infinite. The Earth is a mere whisper in the Great Sympathy.

And you, you Little Mortal, are a critical component. No mere whisper. No mere passing breeze.

In all of the realities, there is only one being like you.

-You- matter. Never forget this. Never allow yourself to feel otherwise. Nothing happens without cause or effect.

Be the effect.

You matter.

"Many attempts have been made to describe Discordianism. Many attempts have failed. Discordianism is a philosophy some have described it as like Daoism but funnier. Some people think Discordians take serious things humorously. That is not quite true; rather, we take humorous things seriously."

- Malaclypse The Younger

"Organized things cause Disorder. Disorganized things cry for Order. The colorful and flashy get noticed. The wary and wise wear camouflage. A mindfuck of epic proportions only happens when no one notices the set-up. Most games are won when using misdirection. Let other people wave their flags and storm the riot shields. You're not playing that game; those game rules were written by Authority. There is no way you can win at that. The wise spags learn all the rules, and then write different games. They create the Illusion that best fits their situation,and doing so, win."

If you had a spirit guide…

…what would it be like? 

If a perfect multidimensional being were to interface with your consciousness in order to facilitate your awakening process, in what form would it appear to you?

Would it seem angelic or earthy or cosmic?

Would it be physical or just an intangible presence? Or perhaps a sound?

Would it be humanoid or animal or entirely alien? 

Would it go by the name of a god(dess), spirit, or demon?

Would it have a sense of humor or be dry and direct? 

Would it present a known gender or a yet to be discovered gender or a nonbinary gender or be entirely undescribed by gender?

How would it talk to you? As a beloved a child, a lover, a friend, a partner, a soldier, a monk, a sorcerer?

What sort of advice or empowerment might this incredibly powerful being bestow upon you in times of need?

A fun exercise. You’ll get the most out of it if you don’t take it too seriously.

Lads wake up, insane new meta just dropped.

The fact that it wasn’t even intentional makes this 1000x better.

Recently watched Abigail Thorn's new video, and a very specific part of the bit about plagiarism and men taking credit for the things that women have done really resonated with me. I am, of course, a woman, and I am involved in alot of male dominated communities, and in my time being in such communities I've realised that men don't even have to actively try and take credit for a woman's work for women to be erased from the story. As an example, anyone who has followed or looked at my blog at all knows that I paint alot of Warhammer miniatures, and I put alot of time, effort and skill into my hobby- collectively probably over a thousand hours assembling and painting models at this point, maybe drastically more. I often post photos of my work online- and, without exception, the people who comment on my photos just *assume* that I'm a man. I get comments all the time saying things like "Good job sir!!!" And "Fantastic work, man!!!!", and, while in some ways I at least appreciate the comment, the fact that my existence as a woman in the space is automatically erased from people's minds, and that it's instead attributed to some abstract "man" who doesn't even exist because I'm not male, fucking stings a little. And you can't even get out of this either- women who take photos of themselves with their models often get responses saying they're "doing it for clout" and are chided for using their gender to get fake reddit upvotes or whatever, and such comments often say "oh it would be fine if they just posted her models, let her models speak for themselves!" or whatever, completely ignoring the fact that they would just assume that a man painted it if her face wasn't showing. This effect is compounded if the woman posting photos with her models has like. Any boobs at all. Because of course.

Perhaps Warhammer (and other hobbies like it) is perceived as more male dominated than it actually is, simply because people just assume that the women who have always been here just don't exist.

Vainly do you search through your so-called aesthetics for the harmonious fullness of humanity, the beginning and end of culture. Try to recognize the elements of humanity and culture, and worship them, particularly fire.

[theidealistphilosophy]

Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.

Terence McKenna, Source Unlisted.

Lift your eyes.

You shall not fear.

For He is Fear.

You shall not cow to Blood.

For He is destruction.

You shall not succumb to Rot.

For in Him are you cleansed.

You shall not fall to Lust.

For in your Faith are you sated.

You shall not be Deceived.

For He alone is Truth.

Hail Malice.

Hail Malal.

Hail to the Fifth Path.

Hail to the Thousand Masks.

Praise Him.

Lift your eyes.

the most peak kuukou imo is him taking juto and dice out for assorted ⚡️EXTREME⚡️ flavoured ramen to test their mettle, getting stopped by shakku, who is absolutely livid after being locked in a shed because kuukou didn’t want to do chores as it’d get in the way of his plans, deciding all three of them need to fight shakku and proceeding to do so by himself in the middle of the street, and then going back to finish his ⚡️EXTREME⚡️flavoured ramen (and all three of them did so their picture is hanging up in the restaurant LOL)

24 books in 2024

New year new attempt at this challenge I have never managed to finish. I am a mood reader so planning my reading ahead is always a failure. But I want to use this yearly tradition as a way to motivate myself with my goal of conquering my physcial tbr. So I will only include books I already own and that I want to finally read. Some I chose because they are quite new, some because they have been on my tbr for ages, and with some I just randomly picked while looking at my shelves.

Edit: I just realized that this year marks 10 years from when I first read the lord of the rings. Ever since then I wanted to reread it, attepted that even, but never really reread it cover to cover. So I decided that during the year I am giving myself the option of wither finishing this list or to skip 3 books of this list to instead reread my beloved lotr.

"One day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald, I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I'm sure you will agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged onto a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature's wonders, gentlemen: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

--Lord Vetinari, Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett
