#document compare

[whatlurksbean]

where do you get your stickers printed from? if that's okay to ask of course!

I print from a variety of companies! I usually look for sales.

Stickerninja is my favorite, but they're a bit out of my price range without a sale.

There is a sticker comparison document you can download (and tip the person who put it together if you'd like!) if you're interested in a broad list of sticker options!

Machete is much like meringue with his pure white and often pointy appearance and very hard and brittle surface that if you are able to break through reveals sweetness inside.

Vasco on the other hand resembles honey with his rich and warm yellow color that softly flows to embrace anything it touches. His softness must not be mistaken as a weakness for he can be strong and tough like the sugar crystals rendering honey solid, but he can be returned to his soft form once again if shown a little warmth.

And most importantly, soft and warm honey can soften the hard surface of meringue, without breaking it.

There were more Uchiha Sharingan users in the Warring States Era, BUT they still took up a minority of the clan. At most, 30-40% of clan members had it, and the rest just didn't have that dawg in them.

The Mangekyo was even rarer. I have a headcanon that while it wasn't uncommon to awaken it, that usually happened like 10 minutes before an inevitable death, sort of as a last resort defense measure. So like, there weren't a lot of Uchiha walking around with the Mangekyo (in fact people *alive* with it only popped up once every few generations), but a lot of recovered corpses would have tears of blood running on their face.

And so my favourite Ancient Greek site ever; Delphi!!

This place (and, of course, the mythos behind the oracle of Delphi herself) has been a fixation for me for years, so I was buzzing basically the entire time I was there.

While everything I saw was beyond gorgeous, this place took the cake. An absolute trek up a mountain side (with a further trek if you wanted to see the Pythian stadium, which I happily did), but we'll worth it. Massive props to everyone and everyone who traveled from literally anywhere in order to get a prophecy.

Speaking of prophecy (info dump under the cut)...

Okay! So! Delphi, aside from being a temple of Apollo, was considered the centre of the classical Greek world (and just the world in general), for a long time, mainly because it was the seat of the Pythia; the high priestess, aka, the oracle of Delphi. Which, fun fact, in Greek shares the same root word for 'womb'.

Now, the temples (as well as the village, various treasuries, gymnasium and theatre) at Delphi are of varying ages, with the temple of Apollo being built around 7th century BCE, before being burnt down in 548ish BC, and then again in the 4th century BC. The ones which you can see (and are in the photos 😌) are all from the 4th century BC. Two thousand plus years old.

Isn't that insane? Sure, not the oldest thing in the world, but walked by so many people. Awesome, in the truest meaning of the word I fear.

But, onto the Pythia. For a bit of context, the original site of Delphi is believed to have housed a different God, suspected to be Gaia, who's son/daughter (varies depending on what translation of the myth you're reading into), named Python (sometimes called Drakon // Drakaina) resided in a cave. When Apollo took over the site, he killed it, and, when he did, it caused a great chasm to open up in the Earth and spew gas. Henceforth, the oracle was known as the Pythia.

She would've also sat on a tripod over this chasm, of which with inhalation of the gas, the spirit of Apollo could posses her in order to give prophecies.

It's been debated whether this chasm did or didn't exist—it is highly possible for one to have been there; the area is known for earthquakes, and natural gas that causes hallucinations, such as methane, ethane and ethylene is able to come from the ground—but, either way, the priestess was high as balls when giving these prophecies. Either from gas, laurel (known in the modern age as Oleander), or both.

So, imagine, you've been travelling from Athens to Delphi for a week or two, have waited a month to see this oracle, only to step into a dim temple to see a lady probably between 40-60 years old, dressed as a young woman, with visable gas spewing out from underneath her, and she spews what sounds like absolute nonsense, in which, very helpfully, a priest translates into poetry for you to take home, which turns out to be scarily accurate. I'd be damn sure the Olympians existed too.

Her being so accurate is, in fact, what brought Delphi such high prestige.

While the idea of living breathing oracle is very cool, the way Delphi was set up aided her being so precise. As noted before, Delphi was considered a hub (would've had street markets, banks, small villages, religious sects etc.), with almost everyone there to see the oracle—people would be waiting weeks to months for a visit from her—and, during this time, they'd interact and talk with those around them. War plans would be drunkenly shared, marriages would be quietly talked of, and most of these conversations between generals and kings, and their messangers and servants, were all heard and noted down by the various priests in the area, who'd provide information to the oracle, and slip in some more details in their 'translation'.

Interesting, no?

The oracle of Delphi is dates back to about 1400 BC, with her last prophecy being delivered about 390 CE, to a Roman Emperor who began stating various laws to end pagan (classical Hellenistic) activities.

I'll ask the same question here. Which one is your favorite?

whenever relatively large blogs interact with me i feel like a small fish watching a whale swim by. youre beautiful. so majestic. what are you doing here ! the ocean is so big ! and yet

[naradreamt]

might sounds extremely stupid but why don't you upload your scans on internet archive?

Not a stupid question at all! I find Google Drive to be convenient (and I pay for the 1TB upgrade) and its easy to organize material. I put a lot of work into maintaining it, even if I am slow, and this doesn't even go into the long list of fansites I've collected and what not on the resource document (and that part is very important to me).

[lesbiancarat]

saw someone on reddit asking about seventeen solos and listed the ones they knew and asked if they missed any (including covers and OSTs). and man if there's one thing maintaining the carat resources carrd over the years has taught me it's that most carats don't even know or remember half the stuff svt has released outside of their official discography

kakashi gaiden liveblogging

just saving screenshots & taking notes like i'm in an 8 credit class i can't afford to fail

(tumblr allows max 30 images in one post so it's been cut a bit)

oh no he’s cute

minato is sitting there just listening to kakashi’s tirade

TINY RIN!

when your pre-teen not-son quotes the rulebook

kakashi’s teeth are deserving of their own sound effect; self-control indeed!

just say “i’m uchiha obito”. or shut up. you’re delusional, baby obitobito you need a terrible makeover by an elderly relative

anyone told you it’s trauma related? or are you just squinting really hard and hoping?

i have no idea what wee wee means but it’s very close to wheeze

how dare you interrupt their argument for some pointless mission

kusagakure = land of freaky flora (& fungi)? hashirama’s experimental ground?

no more arguing. get fucked sensei. CHIDORI!

fun details:

obito: 2 bum bags

kakashi: 2 bum bags + tanto harness. is one of those bags that med pack gift from rin?

rin: backpack

minato: backpack

big stick-finger-in-socket energy

puppy got the zoomies!!!

shortcut to mushrooms (goes through)

QUESTION! …aren’t shadow clones (doppelgangers here) supposed to be a konoha special? (if not a forbidden technique? or are mass shadow clones the taboo?)

OBITO FAIL! love rin’s expression of despair here

bby kakashi is so cute… he’s been scolded by his sensei… minato: dust can’t get into your eyes when you’re wearing goggles. it’s fine to speak of self-control, but you must be strong at heart, not just in words. like dude, shut up, that’s a kakashi-level bullying comeback.

is it a choice to hide obito’s eyes here?

“it was five years ago, on a top secret mission…” i sense another TIMELINE disturbance. CINEMA SINS! arrest this guy! kakashi genin 5 -> chunin 6 -> sakumo’s suicide some time later (implied by order of events in kakashi’s birthday column) -> kakashi currently 11 years old or more minato: unfortunately, a great deal of damage resulted. in the end, both the land of fire and his peers blamed him for everything. CINEMA SINS! how was this mission “top secret” if everybody and their aunt knew about it? FANON! “sakumo was blamed for the third shinobi war” nope

she’s so tiny!!! “she has found a new master.” shut the fuck up you pervert

and now he’s back to laws. oh boy. and you were so right earlier. now you’re just giving obito speech material.

OBITO WIN! KAKASHI FAIL! the idiot boy is going for the [combat] dialogue option!

kakashi: if you give in to your fleeting emotions, and fail an important mission… you’ll regret it later. does obito have a lot of “fleeting emotions”? kakashi: but like i told you yesterday… better nothing, than a useless burden. a shinobi needs tools suitable to the mission at hand. emotion is just a useless burden. i don’t know if he read it in danzo’s root handbook or if this is just A Fact. emotions are not needed if you’re just a tool armed with tools. how will tears help you when you’re bleeding out? how dare you be human, obititio

of course kakashi doesn’t truly believe this. obito keeps asking if he’s for real, kakashi is making sad faces and flashbacking to his father.

obito: sure, in a ninja’s world, those who violate the rules and fail to follow orders… are lower than garbage. however… those who do not care for and support their fellows… are even lower than that! if i’m scum… the rules are no good to me! and if breaking them makes me the wrong kind of shinobi… i’ll crush all the so-called shinobi!! anyone wants to convince me that obito is happy with konoha (and the whole system)???

242: Chronicle 4: The Crybaby Ninja (it’s embarrassing that you immediately know it's obito)

flash to minato

“there are probably at least fifty on the enemy side. by comparison, the four of us are all that’s left on our end.” iwagakure sent 1000 shinobi, konoha numbers unknown. now its 50 vs 5 (4+minato). minato isn’t even throwing his own kunai FANON! “minato massacred 1000 enemy shinobi alone” he wishes

obito (to himself): okay… let’s go! invisible enemy: where are we going?

my boy is glowing!!!

white light blade and silver hair! he’s here and now he’s there! KAKASHI WIN! the iwa guy really looked at this tiny gremlin and went “white fang???”

first time in years he’s talked about his father!!!

243: Chronicle 5: A Gift

iwa jonin i can’t be bothered to look up: remember, you’re standing in the palm of your enemy now… a fun way to say you can control rocks and they are in a cave

OBITO WIN! not for long tho

obito: i was the only one… who didn’t… give you a gift… i didn’t know… what was proper… but… i do now… he actually thought about kakashi’s jonin gift!!! obito: i’m about to… die. but i’ll… become your eye… and we’ll see what happens… in the future…

244: Chronicle 6: Sharingan Hero

hole.

kakashi: rin… obito… he loved you… you were his only one… he gave his life to protect you. rin: then… kakashi! you should know how i feel about you… kakashi brought up confessing, rin was just staying on topic. btw obito “gave his life” to protect kakashi, not rin. just a reminder

let her look at stars

(narration) the third great ninja war. with the sacrifice of many nameless shinobi, the protracted war finally came to a close. it its wake, it also left legends… the stories of great heroes, to be told and retold for generations to come. the battle of kannabi bridge. that day, two heroes were born in konohagakure, each with his own sharingan. one found his name engraved on the memorial stone… the other came to be known as kakashi of the sharingan. in time, the tales of his bravery spanned all borders, and beyond.

CINEMA SINS! obito wears goggles (on his forehead) after he awakens the sharingan. when they go to the cave where rin is held he doesn’t have them on. are they in kakashi’s bum bag?

THE END.

[crystal-cliffs]

Me when I have a fic that’s been sitting in my documents collecting dust because I want to rewrite it so bad but I don’t know if I can do any better

Actually sweating/j

Still

Small snippet of the original before I absolutely decimate it since I have a new view on it and I can like… probably write it a lot better now anyways

“You won’t go easy on me, right?” He took a step to the side. “That would take all the fun out of it.”

“A spar such as that would be disingenuous, Childe. However, I’d prefer not going all out as you tend to put it.”

The eleventh tilted his head up. “The way I see it, a fight where someone doesn’t use their full power is a fight where no one learns anything.”

“And what do you hope to learn, Ajax?”

“Not sure yet, but I know I won’t learn it standing around here.”

Arlecchino exhaled, attempting to blink away the frost that had formed on her eyelashes. “Fine, I’d hate to let this opportunity escape us.”
