#if i could go somewhere else i'd go there but yk

[calmingwinter]

How does shifting work? You just lay down somewhere and imagine you're someone else? Are you conscious of this reality when you shift? How does the time passage work in there? Do you experience hunger/thirst (+ do you need bathroom breaks)? Can anyone do it? I'm curious and I'd like to try but my imagination is terrible and I barely ever dream, would it work? Is there a way to practice? How did you start? Did/do you use any additional resources?

Thanks in advance for a reply and any pointers you could give, have a nice day :)

Hello!

I don’t really understand what you mean by "how shifting work" but here is my respond, your already in your dr, that’s you, you’re just not conscious in the other you.

You can, it’s called visualisation. But that’s not something mandatory, you can shift however you want if you believe you can then you will.

About this one I’m not 100% sure but when you shift your consciousness is believed to fully move to your dr, leaving your body in your cr on "autopilot." Some people think a small part of your consciousness stays in cr to maintain basic functions.

There is not a special time for everyone, you can even script how much time here is there, for example : when 1hour pass here, 1week has passed in you dr when you shifted.

It really depends on anybody, being hungry/thirsty or wanting to go to the toilet do not change even if you shift but I don’t think you understand what I just say. It’s like, shifting does not change anything inside of you do you get me ?😭 and if your questions was about when you take consciousness in your dr then that also depends, if you want to be hungry, ext when you wake up in your dr, then you will but if you don’t want to, you won’t.

Yes, anyone on this earth can shift. You especially. Never forget that you are powerful and every damn time you try or shift is not un useless.

Yes you can definitely shift even if you’re bad at affirming or visualising ext.

Honestly I would say no, because shifting is not a practice in the way that you have to do or try it many times to shift.

I started because of TikTok, yk in 2020 shifting blew up and everyone started doing it. I remember my first dr being attack on titan and straykids lmao I was so cringe…

not really, but I think trumblr was a big help in my shifting journey, but what’s good for me is not necessarily good for you or anyone else. Everyone has their own shifting journey.

I loved responding to all your questions! Have fun in your shifting experience! 😋😋

[aachria]

once again writing as im reading yk how it is

You apologizing in the notes for a longer chapter will never fail toget me hyped and sorta nervous 🧍‍♀️

SABO AND LUFFY REUNION I LOVE THEM

"So did you (get taller) , thank you for staying alive long enough for me to know that" aachria the writer that you are 😭 you always manage to make me emotional

Snakebite/fangs sabo my beloved ALSO SEPTUM PIERCING SABO??? HIM HAVING A SHIT TOM OF PIERCINGS??? AACHRIAAAAA. WRITE MORE SABO CHAPTERS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS.

"…Who the fuck picks a prosethetic that looks like Sans from Undertale???? " Sabo the man you are

AACHRIA. PLEASE. IM AT THE "ACE TO BE EXECUTED" PART. WTF. WHAT WHAT WHAT 😭 UHM. I knew my ass was being too hopeful about both of them being there 😕 i shouldn't have trusted you.

If Ace dies. I'll cry. /th. You'll cry too so please don't kill him 🙏‼️

NOOOO ED DONT BLAME YOURSELF ITS NOT UR FAULT YOU WERE LIKE ⅘S DEAD ATP FR

THE VIVRE CARD OMG AACHRIA PL3ASE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US HOW COULD YOU 😭😭

"I can’t save him. I can’t save him, I can’t save him I CAN’T SAVE HIM I CAN’T SAVE HIM— " ricky when i catch you Ricky. I dont wanna call this foreshadowing cause that might give you ideas and i predicted quite a bit of stiff right. So i predict Portgas D. Ace will Live.

MONKEY D. LUFFY THE MAN YOU ARE 😭

I want you to know i cried at the Luffy comforting and forgiving Ed part 😕

" “How can you say that?” I croak, trying to find any hint of dissension in his expression. “How can you not believe it?” he counters." 😕😕😕😕😭😭😭😭 you're a bully

ED COWBOY HAT ED COWBOY HAT ED COWBOY HAT OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BUT IT WOULDVE BEEN BETTER HAD ACE BEEN THE ONE TO GIVE IT TO THEM IN PERSON ANOTHER REMINDER THAT YOU'RE A BULLY. A MEAN MEAN BULLY 😭

ACES NOTE OMG I LOVE HIM SM HE BETTER NOT DIE 😭

" Bit of a shit way to meet and in law but hi" and then no elaboration is so funny 😭

PLANNING FUCK YEAH I ALWAYS LOVE THISE SEQUENCES IN FICS

Did. Did failure make ed forget about the kuma sending everyone away thing? Or are they gonna try to put it off til after marineford??? Or is it just not gonna happen at all???

Ed repeatedly saying "i love competent people" with kore and more intensity 3ach time is so real what a mood

Jonah mentioned 🤭 love to see sabo and ace bonding

ED AND LUFFY PRISON BREAK ED AND LUFFY PRISON BREAK ED AND LUFFY PRISON BREAK ED AND LUFFY PRISON BREAK

"Unquestionably" 🤭🤭🤭

im still worried abt wtf is gonna happen a propos the strawhats separation

Amazing chapter as always excited to see the next chapter that you might post on Wednesday THANK YOU SO MUCH ‼️

GUYS I PROMIE I'M NOT APOLOGIZING I'M MAKING A STATEMENT BECAUSE I'M A BIG CONSISTENCY GIRLIE AND I FIGURE YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW GOING IN THAT IT'LL BE LONGER THAN YOU'D TYPICALLY THINK. LIKE IF YOU THINK YOU CAN READ A CHAPTER BEFORE GOING SOMEWHERE AND DON'T GET TO FINISH BECAUSE IT'S LONGER THAN YOU EXPECED. I DON'T KNOW.

but yeah getting you hyped and nervous is pretty much the intended effect.

I was trying real hard to keep faithful to the feelings from the canon Sabo and Luffy reunion while also not having Ace being DEAD as the driving force of the thanks (the ASL brothers thanking each other is something that can be so personal—) and I'm, if nothing else, content with where it ended up. Fuckin' love those two.

Nothing shows how much you love a character like giving them fucktons of piercings and just generally disregarding their canon design. He is my special little guy and I will make him strange and weird like he deserves and if that included stealing his fucking eye and making it more awesome and also poking a myriad of holes in his face, who's to stop me?

I am terribly trustworthy excuse you. I never said I wasn't going to do terrible things. I asked if you thought I'd do terrible things and I hoped I wouldn't do terrible things, but I never made any promises. Hheh.

I also make no promises not to kill Ace. For the record. But I will cry absolutely.

If there's one thing about Ed, it's that if they're given a chance they will martyr the SHIT out of ANYTHING. Like pookie please your saviour complex is showing.

I was so ready for someone to call out the recurring smoked fish joke like 'hmmmm smoked fish you say kinda of like SMOKE from something BURNING IS IT?!" and then that didn't happen and I felt vindicated. And please when have I ever used foreshadowing before. Doesn't sound like me at all.

Luffy is my hero you GO bestie COMFORT that idiot YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH—

Look that cowboy hat is fantastic and my catalyst for cowboy Ed, who can only get more cowboy cunty from here. Nothing say pirate quite like a cowboy.

Oh yeah baby Ed is very aware of Kuma. There's a bunch of you shits who were real concerned about them forgetting and to that I say the first little sequence of next chapter was supposed to be on the end of last chapter, but it was already too damn long so I had to split 'er up. It'll make more sense when you read it.

I LOVE COMPOTENT PEOPLE ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ ED AND LUFFY PRISON BREAK ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Yeah.... the separation.........

Anyway yeah I didn't end up doing to Wed update because I had a bad week but there WILL be one this week ‼️‼️

GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR MORRIS HEADCANNONS I NEED THEM IN MY LIFEEEEE B]]]]]]]

HIIIII! TYSM FOR INQUIRING ON MY HCS! I'LL GLADLY FLING THEM AT YOU AT A VELOCITY IN WHICH NOBODY SHOULD BE PELTED BY WORDS :D (they're going to be neatly organized under the cut). I would've gotten to this sooner but life nerfed my ability to get to things within what I consider a reasonable time. I'm doing General HCs + a few dating HCs that have been sitting on my brain for a while. I'd like to note that a few of these are a bit on the angsty side? Nothing too bad, but yk yk.

Word Count: 707 words!

im sorry if this is long, I have NO idea what tends to be seen as an acceptable length for these kinds of things KAHAHAH. Regardless, I hope you enjoy them and tysm again for feeding into my brainrot. B)

・୨・┈┈┈┈・୨ ✦ ୧・┈┈┈┈・୧・

₊꒷︶ HCs Babey WOOHOOOO

˚⊹Morris is around 5'9, but he likes claiming he's around an inch or two taller. If you call him down on this bluff he gets visibly annoyed

-He's literally blind as a bat oh my god. You take this mans glasses away and you've taken away his ability to perceive the world as anything but splotches. If you were to take away his glasses he'd playfully pout then grab them whilst squinting in such an exaggerated fashion (but to him it isn't exaggerated at all. he's doing the best he can to see literally any part of you)

๑‧˚Morris is quite expressive, hyper-expressive even. He practically has an expression reserved for just about every situation you could think of. Its honestly impressive.

-Morris finds it hilarious to sneak up behind Pierre during random points and go "womp womp", and a variety of other similar, ill-fitting noises. To which he is chased off. It's one of the many tiny things he finds a surprising amount of pleasure in.

˚⊹ While Morris wasn't aware of the valley's existence as a child, I do imagine he was actually from a small town somewhere in Bavaria. That's right! I imagine Morris as Bavarian! If you catch him while he's still waking up, there's a chance he'll mutter something to you in Stardew's equivalent of Bavarian-German before snapping awake and correcting it to the English equivalent. He's bilingual, and he's fluent in both English and Bavarian-German.

-Morris has an accent, but he's able to try to limit it as much as possible in order to appeal more to the audience of Pelican Town.

ʚɞ There are aspects of the southern Pelican Town accent he's picked up on. He's like a sponge when it comes to mimicking accents, and as a result, he's also a sponge when it comes to inevitably picking up on the ways people say words differently in Pelican Town. At times, he's slipped up and said certain words in the Pelican Town way™. Yes, it's broken his customer service voice. Yes, he's sobbed over that.

"Over there sits our wonderful Joja Brand™ warsher n' dryer."

"..."

"Yes."

-Morris is ungodly out of touch. Some of the younger workers at his store have shared memes in their company group chat that they totally have because I willed it into existence and he's replied with either "????" or "haha (he's confused and doesn't get it)" You could trick this man into numerous deez nuts jokes if you felt particularly evil. I'm dead serious. It'd go something like this.

"Why, hello farmer! Are you visiting in hopes to talk about that Joja Membership? Or was there something else you were interested in bringing up?"

"Yeah, so I thought Soona worked here? Soona Orlada?"

"Soona Orlada? I haven't heard of t-"

"Soona or Later you're gonna see deez nu-"

"get OUT." He says, eyebrow twitching as he tries not to drop the customer service smile.

˚⊹He has self-confidence issues, regardless of how much bravado he likes showing to the residents of Pelican town and especially to Pierre. He often doubts his own abilities, and questions very often why things haven't turned in his favor despite how much effort he's put into his job and his work. He finds himself burnt out extremely often and ends up sitting at home sulking over another day stuck in a repetitive cycle with no change. Despite this, he knows the next day over he'll force a smile on his face and go about his life the exact same way he always has.

๑‧˚ For a long time, Morris was in heavy denial over just how bad the situation he was caught in was. He was in denial over just how strenuous his own job was, and was in denial over how overworked he was. Along with this, I imagine he was in denial over everything he had been doing wrong in his position. Having corporate constantly breathing down your neck over your specific district performing well clouds your judgement. At first, he'd shoot down any remarks about this. I imagine he reacts poorly to criticism from people he feels aren't adequate or in a position to be commenting on his performance, but he takes it into consideration regardless. After a few more confrontations, I imagine he takes steps to try and improve the working conditions of the little JojaMart he's under. It isn't until Post-Community Center that he actually realizes he's been treated poorly by Joja as well. He'd feel betrayed, but I imagine he'd feel lost and at a standstill on what to do next. Realistically, he'd probably continue to work for them for as long as he could unless a better opportunity reared its head.

-I like imagining Morris as a bit of a foodie. Dude absolutely knows the best restaurants in the Ferngill republic, and absolutely enjoys a good meal. Unfortunately, due to having such a demanding job, he hasn't been able to visit any of them in god knows how long. He's had to live on those incessant Joja Microwaveable Dinners for an unspeakable amount of time (he needs help). I reckon offering up home cooked meals to him is one of the fastest ways to his heart.

₊꒷In a relationship I imagine Morris to be kind of like a cat slowly warming up to his partner. He's been lonely for most of his life, and while he's touch starved, I don't think he'd be all that used to giving or receiving affection. In fact, I like imagining that for the first little bit while he's warming up to dating he gets all red faced over any gentle touch. Heaven forbid you kiss the guy while he's still getting used to things LMJKSDHKS. He's moreso one to give words of affirmation or gifts than gentle embraces during the first little bit of a relationship. Once he warms up, however, I imagine he gives ungodly nice cuddles and gentle kisses whenever he sees his S/O. Of course, that isn't to say he doesn't still prefer surprising his lover with little gifts here and there.

ʚɞ When Morris gets particularly embarrassed or flustered I imagine he likes to look away and push his glasses against his face, acting like he's unphased, or he hides his face with his arm or his hand. It's a huge habit of his and he's definitely done it unintentionally when the farmer shoots down something he says or one of his Joja-Related endeavors.

-Morris enjoys carefully planned, thought out home dates or picnic dates as opposed to anything extravagant. Sure, he adores a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant, but seeing his S/O put so much effort into making sure he has a good time... it absolutely warms his heart. Bonus if they plan some kind of stargazing date with all kinds of things to do beforehand. At first, the concept and appeal confuses him, but the fact that they found such joy in it... he starts enjoying it as well.

₊꒷Morris cries whenever he feels an excessive amount of just about any emotion. If someone were to get him a little overly happy he'd start tearing up then apologize. If he gets too comfortable with his S/O in bed he starts to tear up. No, he doesn't know why. No, don't feel bad. He's literally in heaven. Cloud nine, even. Similarly, I imagine him as one of those angry criers. He gets absolutely pissed off and you just see him start to tear up before screaming at someone then apologizing.

๑‧˚ He enjoys plushies. I'm not expanding on why I think this I just think he'd like a cute squishmallow. He wouldn't show his enjoyment openly but you know damn well he'd have it with him in bed every night. A little buddy, if you will. If he's caught with it he chucks that shit out of view then apologizes to it privately later.

GRABBIGN YOU . hai :] 5, 10, and 24 on the askgame for kenix perhamps?

HAI HELLOOOOO!!!!— [GETS GRABBED.]

5. How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

oughhhh,, i'd say that kenix is. Pretty persistent. Kind of like a "If I want it, I'll get it" situation. Though early timeloop Kenix was far more stubborn,, As for right now. Yeah he would go a Long Way to get something he wants. One of said things was strength too. Which resulted in Kenix literally becoming god through stealing other gods' and demigods' powers. Which also resulted in literally most of the terrible events that damaged the Company crew. There are many many consequences to what he did but before he realized that, it was far far too late. Later on he becomes less stubborn like he was before. which is probably a good thing.

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

AUGH. Okay so one of them was. What if he never was chosen to be the other identity needed for the curse? In an another reality, it has been some other one of the many existing Yi Dals within the universe's timelines. A reality where there is someone else taking his place and he enacted his revenge on his family in a way that did not come to accepting that offer that changed his life. A possibility that somewhere out there in this infinite realities, he could've been more rational and avoided this all together. What would he do now? Where would he be?

24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

oughhhh,,,,, well. One of the alternate paths for him could've been never escaping his household when he was a teen in the first place. Perhaps he would've been overworked to death by his own family, never having that courage to leave this hellhole for good. That would definitely destroy him as a person completely as he would no longer by addressed or recognized as an independent person. Only a background character of the family, eventually dying isolated and miserable.

And an another path is similar to the one in the last question. What if he never chose revenge as a way to help himself deal with this abusive household? What if he chose healing in peace? Letting himself slowly grow as a person, not having to slit his own family open on that day as a way to avenge himself. Perhaps he could've enjoyed life properly in the afterlife. Maybe he could meet other people properly for the first time, learn puppeteering for fun (not a reference to his mechanical arms no no no for sure,,,) and discover other things to enjoy living for the first time. yk. like maybe if he just chose the other path he could've avoided the pain. But then he would've lost the possibility of meeting of the current sins crew who had probably been the most life-changing individuals he has met. To live a peaceful life, you must sacrifice something afterall

[lightyearssurrogatedaddy]

Okay, Error and Ink will never get a happy ending, in any scenario. Even if it's the most heathiest interpretation of them I can even imagine, I still don't think it could last forever. One of the downsides to being immortal. It Never Ends. An immortal being changes and shifts its personality to where it's not even recognizable to who they were centuries prior. It goes around in a loop, they forget things they knew before, they learn things then unlearn them.

And since AUs repeat timelines I like c+pasting the same logic onto Outcodes. As in after a while, they just end up reverting back to what mindset they had way way before, after they do all the things and have nothing left to be curious about. They don't really HAVE an ending to their story, yk?

Imagine there's you and this other guy. You both don't have defined death dates and you're both nearly unkillable (you can 'kill' Ink in a sense by killing his personality, taking away his vials.) You're both tied to the hip because of what you do and why you do it, there's no way to avoid one another unless you changed your opinion and went off to go live in the woods somewhere, and that's Not happening.

So, out of boredom or growth or any excuse, you switch through titles because that's the only person who you can do that with. Everyone else can forget about you and you can forget about them whenever you wanted!

Along with the similar aspects in character. Error and Ink have-- a lot-- a shit ton of similarities. Unending loneliness, mainly. A sense of creativity (Error, in some ways, very creative.) The way they act and solve problems. etcetc. + Their main topic, the AUs! They don't talk about it in the same way, I like to view them as people who love a piece of media regardless, and the ones who live to observe it, and state an opinion. They both love talking about it.

"Okay, go back to the 'can't avoid one another' thing?"

Sure sure. I feel like I should have elaborated or something. They are exact opposites in theory. Error is a force to tear down and Ink's supposed to bring it up and support it. I don't really see Ink as a lifesource for the AUs, the AUs would continue to exist even if Error tried *tirelessly* to destroy them. Because an AU of him finishing his job is an AU nonetheless :) there's literally nothing he can do.

You can't avoid the other side of the argument, it ceases to be one if you do. And they don't really represent actual PEOPLE in those arguments, just the embodiment of the viewpoints. People can see both sides but it's been proven that Ink and Error cannot (I'm talking in theory, I do treat them as breathing people in my fics for the sake of exploring them, this paragraph is about the point blank flat colors of their character.)

Kind of like you can't remove positivity from negativity, you can't really have a finished comic without the scraps from ones that were shut down and discontinued.

So you and this one guy. You have an eternity to get to know one another. They'll constantly keep morphing between friends/lovers/enemies! No goal or end! Cool huh? That's how I view them. They can legit have any relationship and I'd still think they were such a Thing to glare at.

[taegularities]

Hi Rid. I hope you're having a great day. So umm I'm gonna be ranting about something or a certain someone so please bear with me.

There's this person and they're popular for doing this one thing. Everyone's like always hyping them up no matter what they do. They talk about this person as if they could do nothing wrong and they're all sunshine and sprinkles. And quite frankly I like their work as well and I acknowledge their efforts.

Now I am generally one of the observers and i recently started to uhh show my hidden talent as well lol and honestly, I was doing it gir myself, not for anyone else's validation or anything. I wanted to do it because I felt like it and some people ended up liking it which I'm very thankful for and i was getting compliments from a few people here and there so it was good and i decided to do it again and i already informed ONLY the person in charge of those activities. And that person mentioned that they liked it in front of everyone. And out of nowhere this person (the “OG” as they like to call them) suddenly wants to do it too when they're already in the middle of something else that requires a lot of attention? And everyone EVERYONE is going crazy over it. They all completely ignored that I am currently doing it already. I've also noticed that this person always responds/talks to almost everyone but me which is weird cause I never behave disrespectfully or rudely to that person.

See idk if I'm overreacting of anything but i feel dismissed, ignored and neglected. I know not everybody is going to like it but isn't it disrespectful to me? It gets too much sometimes I feel like disappearing from that place altogether without saying anything cause I know nobody cares but I also know that I'm doing this for myself not for validation but it still feels awful at times. Idk if I'm just being a bad person or insecure it's just that i really wanted to get this out and i apologize if I'm in the wrong. I'm really sorry if I'm acting childish but you can't always be mature right?

hey hey. you have no reason to apologise at all… we're allowed to indulge in something we enjoy for ourselves and still feel shitty when we feel like our efforts are being diminished just bc someone else with a larger group around them decided to do it, too. if you're feeling bleh about it, then that's your right, not overreacting (i hate that word, bc we're all literally just reacting, right? our feelings aren't nothing, no matter what).

if you'd like, you can talk to them. not in like, a confrontational way, but more like – ask them if they could at least 'credit' you and let people know that you did it first. even if you're only doing it for yourself, it's okay to want validation and praise somewhere inside, yk? so yeah, i'd tell them – on top of that, also let them know that you feel neglected and ignored. my biggest advice is always communication – maybe bc i hate being silent about what hurts me, so i just go and try to resolve it asap 😭 maybe it works for you, as well!! <3

Tag 10 People You Want to Know Better

thanks for the tag @thesamestarlight!

relationship status: single

song stuck in my head: currently my brain is creating a remix of GO, from Coke Studio and Left Right by Ali Sethi. LR is just such a vibe- when I heard Shae Gill's verse in it for the first time I swear it made me ascend on the bus to work at 7am. and then my brain segues into the bridge of GO because that specific part is ETHEREAL its so so good. yk what, i'm gonna add a clip of it because more people need to hear this:

last song i listened to: Castles Crumbling (From the Vault). Currently OBSESSED with this song and it's giving me such a good fic idea that could potentially be on par with my ml 1920's enemies au but like. a LOT angstier hehe. AND I'll actually have time to write it w the summer holidays starting next week 😈

three favourite foods: hmmm lasagna, bhindi masala, and pakoras

dream trip: Italy! or Greece. I'd just love to go to Europe tbh because most of the holidays i've been on have just been back home in Pakistan, which is fun but I'd love to go somewhere else too. Now that I think ab it though, I'd love to go properly sightseeing in Pakistan. I found out a while ago that the first time I went to Pakistan when I was uh...5? My uncles took us all on a trip to Murree which is a BEAUTIFUL mountainous area of the country but guess who doesn't remember any of it :((( I didn't even believe we went until i saw a video of me there lmao

anything i want right now: burger burger burger. I want takeout so badly lmao but i'm too broke to justify buying anything and too tired to cook so i just had cereal for dinner and that was supremely unsatisfying rip

if you could be any animal, what and why: something that sleeps a lot and isn't bothered by anybody. so...a cat. work has been kicking my arse lately so I am constantly exhausted and would like to sleep for a week straight please. 6 more days until the summer holidays though, woohoo!!

[brutal-nemesis]

Feel free to ignore this and im sorry if i word it poorly, but I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious and want to learn as I don't know any aroace people in real life! You said you have a boyfriend, but you don't feel romantic attraction. How does that change having a friend vs having a boyfriend?

No worries I'm happy to talk about it!! This might get kinda rambly but oh well shove it under readmore so i can talk forever

So I think for my boyfriend, I think it's just like more intense platonic feelings? The sorts of things I want to do with him are things I would be fine doing with someone else, if that makes sense. Cuz a lot of aromantics/aro-adjacent people struggle with telling the difference between romantic and platonic attraction, myself included. At some point I defined romantic as wanting to do certain things with Them and Only Them, while platonic is like I would prefer to do xyz thing with them but if I did it with someone else it wouldn't be weird. "Doing things" in this case ranges from eating a meal together to cuddling (for me things don't go beyond that physically). Idk if I explained it well enough but that's the definition I use for myself.

So like I still love him and care about him a lot and everything but it's not quite the same way he loves me (he's straight). I at least can sense a sort of difference in how we feel about each other, idk if he can, but it makes me more certain that my feelings for him aren't romantic, and that is okay. He's known I'm aroace since before we started dating (he was super scared to ask me out because of it rip bozo) so we've always been on the same page about all of that.

And you're probably wondering why I did agree to go out with him if I don't have romantic feelings for him. For starters, I've never been opposed to the idea of having a partner, but it was more of a "if it happens great and if not that's fine too" kinda vibe. In the months before we started dating we'd gotten really close as friends and did some cuddling because that shit can totally be platonic yk. He caught feelings somewhere along the way cuz Straight and when he asked I said yes cuz I do want to be with him. I wanna hang out all the time and go for hikes and watch Ghost Files and make dinner together and let him have some of my ice cream.

I could do those things with someone else and still have fun, but I'd rather do them with him. So it's platonic, in my eyes, but it's still very much love.

[veradragonjedi]

I'm asking for BBB Luke lore 🤲

ABSJSGGXUZGSJHS OKAY— ARHH

I'm so eeped about this because!!! Aroorororororo omg???? AAAAA thank you, you total legend.

Here is the bit I wrote a while back about Tatooine Lore, plus how he survived with weaker skin, and here is a little about how I worked around the traditional aspect of a vampire and how their creation might carefully slot into the gffa!

I think I'd really like to freaking talk about his mental state, loneliness, longing, self-loathing etc, sooo this is slightly heavier? But you write like the most doomed-to-fail angst-ridden stories, so I think you're alright with it. (I won't go into triggering territory as that stuff is barely mentioned in the story fr, I just wanna spill somewhere yk??)

I wanna preface this by saying that I have not completely rewritten Luke's character to be apathetic or depressing, and that his soft and cheerful demeanour and sweet behaviours naturally shine through his Jedi Master veil (pun unintended). But, when you're a vampire, and when vampires are notoriously whispered about in the far corners of your galaxy to be thieves, murderers, blood-drinkers etc, it becomes very difficult to make and maintain healthy relationships with those around you. And, as we know that in the actual OT, Luke's relationship with his friends, father, Master, sister, and his trust in all of them, is what guides him and leads him to conquer the darkness in the galaxy, when Luke loses that trust, he begins to lose faith in everything else he knows.

Not only that, but that darkness begins to return. (We don't talk about that yet. 🤫)

Anyway, I think anyone who has experienced a kind of betrayal and loneliness like he has is unready to actually place themselves in a situation where they might face the same ordeal. (You read more about that betrayal, hurt and anguish in chapter 9!)

That's where Din comes in. Aaaand also why Luke is so determined to know whether Din plans to leave him or not in the future. He's been left behind numerous times in his life. If Din leaves, especially with Grogu, he won't be able to continue living knowing that he's failed.

At least Grogu will be safe, right?

This leads him down a very very dark, repetitive mindset once he begins to develop feelings for Din. This loop looks something like this. 👇

I am a Jedi -> no attachments -> I am attached to Din -> therefore Din must leave Yavin, as he is a detriment to my training -> if he leaves Yavin, I won't be able to cope alone, as he will take Grogu and my purpose will be stripped from me -> if Din leaves Yavin, I will die -> I don't want to die, as I haven't completely my training, and the Force will not accept me -> but I am a Jedi -> Jedi have no attachments -> I am attached to Din.

And so on and so forth.

As well as, I love Din -> Din could not possibly love me -> if I tell him I love him, he will leave me, because he doesn't love me -> if he leaves me, I will die -> I don't want to die -> but living with Din when he's outside my reach hurts me -> which means Din has to leave -> if he leaves I will die -> I don't want to die -> I don't want to die because I have Din -> I love Din

As you can see, it's viscious. (I'm viscious. Me. The author. I'm not always mean to Luke I swear-)

Sooo... its a bit of a predicament, as you can see, but I won't explain how I solve it, as that's for my readers to live in fear about.

I also love believing that Luke has ADHD, PTSD and other anxiety disorders, hallucinative tendencies — because, as a vampire, he is particularly intuned to the Force, and can see things that many people can not.

I'll leave it at the last idea that, when he sees things that others can't, it bothers him, because often it is an irregularity, a shift from his comfortable zone in spacetime, or the demons rapping at his door, and he can't change it because it is out of his dimension :3

Anyway! Thank you so much, Nova. I really needed this OFF my chest and AT someone. Ily, ty :3

[otrtbs]

you gave me permission I WILL keep saying things you don't understand how much this parallel has ROTTED my brain

Sirius is Jo in my head he wanted to get out of his house and get away. He wanted to be something, turn his name into something else entirely. He wanted people to look at him and not see what he came form but what he can do. And I feel like Jo is kinda the same way, in turning away from Laurie and romance and trying to be a famous write and make her name as something

But Regulus I feel like would be perfectly content with running away somewhere quiet to just live out the rest of his days in peace. He made no plans, he didn't have plans of what his future would be he didn't expect he'd ever have it. And I think this Beth quote just fits so perfectly with him:

"I only mean to say that I have a feeling that it never was intended I should live long. I'm not like the rest of you. I never made any plans about what I'd do when I grew up. I never thought of being married, and you all did. I couldn't seem to imagine myself anything but stupid little Beth, trotting about at home, of no use anywhere but there."

Like this line just- I don't know why it screams Regulus to me but it does. I feel like he always viewed himself as a spare because of his parents, and he knew he had to do certain things, he couldn't even bring himself to think about what he wanted. Not what his parents wanted, or hell even Sirius but what he wanted. It was best not to hope and dream because he knew it wouldn't come true, he knew it wouldn't make a difference. He knew he would die young.

I love Amy as Reg I do. I think there are many similarities. And I know I said they're similar in the case that they both confirm to a certain standard which is true. But I think in terms of Amy and Jo and Sirius and Reg they aren't similar. Because Amy and Jo fight not because they have something to fight about but because that's just the way they were, like sometimes sisters are just like that. They don't get along. I should know I see me and my sister a lot in them. But I don't see the black brothers like that I don't think they bickered when they were younger, not much. I think they were at each others sides until they really couldn't anymore.

ALSO with Amy the way she's first described is as this "Amy, though the youngest, was a most important person - in her own opinion at least"

And that doesn't seem like Reg at all. Like I don't know.

The only reason I started seeing this is because I was rewatching the movie and got to the "don't go quietly" scene and thought "huh I could see this as the black brothers"

And now I'm here

me nodding along and agreeing with everything you’re saying rn bc oml you have a vision and i see it so clearly!!! that beth quote breaks my heart every time i see it :,(((((((( oml

ALSO THE DONT GO QUIETLY SCENE W SIRIUS AND REG WILL BE SO DEVASTATING AHHHH AND REGULUS WOULD GO QUIETLY TO YK :((

like beth did :(((

in conclusion ,, your mind >>>

[venihime]

for ask game - rendoc & 5, 15 and 39 maybe?

i really enjoy reading your thoughts on them, idk i just like the way you see them

ueeee thank-you, i care them deeply and im glad someone else agrees w how i Percieve them :'D

5. Do they argue often? If so, what do they argue about?

I don't think they argue often tbh. Like them bickering and disagreeing over silly things isn't uncommon, but I wouldn't call it arguing in the slightest LOL. The biggest dispute they've had in their relationship is the whole,, Doc declaring the Perimeter independent while Ren was king.

Though I think it's good that they don't really ARGUE that often since I think an argument between the two of them would be. Well. Either they'd either be completely fine OR there'd be tension and hefty miscommunication bc they can both have quite big heads and while they don't usually let that affect their relationship at all, it has the potential to affect them in a very bad way depending on how both of them feeling upset and their defense mechanisms clash.

15. How do they keep in contact when they're apart? Do they write letters, talk over the phone, or simply wait out the time?

I feel like when they're apart, having no contact is always completely unintentional on both sides. Neither of them actively avoid social contact, let alone each other, so they will shoot each other a message or call if they realize they haven't talked in a minute and they REALLY miss each other, but in general I feel like they usually just. Wait out their time apart? Like I'd consider them both pretty comfortable in their relationship so they know that sooner or later one of them will reach out when they're done focusing intensely on whatever project they're working on and it's never been much of an issue. Though I do think Ren is much more likely to reach out to Doc and seek that connection bc he's very direct while Doc is more likely to wait for Ren to seek him out if Ren needs his alone time bc he is fine waiting until Ren is ready, even if he rly misses him yk?

39. When and how did they admit that they loved each other? If they haven't yet, why?

Ough,,, okay so. I actually don't think they've directly said I love you yet!! Not in like a directly romantic sense? They've had feelings for each other for like four seasons, and they've had an entire thing going on for at least three seasons but I don't think it's something they've ever made official.

Not bc they're afraid or unsure, but bc they're both comfortable within the dynamic they have where they love each other and care for each other in their own ways, and they just don't know how to go about having a conversation that could change what they already have since theres just no way they both aren't at least somewhat aware their relationship isn't completely platonic. They drift somewhere comfortably between friendship and more, where they have and do say they love each other but they haven't established/defined their relationship officially I guess :D

YESSSSSSS! I am so happy to hear there’s more scenarios after tbah finishes 🎉

Though at the same time, if you decide to absolutely crush my heart and feelings so I go back into therapy because of tbah - please do. It will certainly be better than what I went to therapy for last time 😂😂

As the other anon said, you have some of the best writing out there. I’ve lurked on tumblr for years and yes, while everyone can write, it takes a special kind of skill to actually grip someone to the point they are so invested into the story that they actually live for the characters. And I’m not downplaying other writers on tumblr, each and every one of them bring something to the table and it takes effort to write a story and I appreciate each and every one of them. Though once in a while, someone like you shows up that makes you feel things, somewhere from deep within, makes you relate to the characters in a way that makes you relive things in your life, makes you stop and think “damn, I do this”, or “i’ve felt this” and a skill like this doesn’t show up from nowhere.

So, to you and anyone else that enjoys writing, keep on doing what you enjoy. Do not give up. Strive to improve and be better than you were yesterday. Express yourself in this way, because there is always someone, somewhere that appreciates it, lives for it and keeps motivated because of it.

I’ve had a couple of beers and felt in a particular mood so excuse me. No shade thrown nor trying to insult anyone here. To me tumblr over the years has helped me discover so many talented people and has helped me get through some of the darkest times of my life so expressing appreciation seems like the right thing to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

ok i actually cried reading this. maybe i'm a little attention starved but it just means so, so much to me that even one person could be so involved with my writing. i'm pretty hard on myself even when i try not to be. and lately i've been feeling down about the direction of my life or lack thereof, and i've been really wondering if this silly little hobby is worth it and i just don't want to give it up for anything. ugh. tearing up again.

idk if it's sad or cringe that writing fanfics is my everything but it's truly my favorite thing to do. i enjoy so much coming up with ideas and exploring characters and worlds and all the soft and angsty feelings that come with it.

likes and followers isn't everything, so i hope i say this right. but. i don't think i'd enjoy this as much if i was writing just for me, or posting to a void, yk? like this message made my day, prolly my month, hell prolly my year. i'm still all teary writing this haha. but reading comments and tags and knowing there's someone that benefits from my goofy pastime, just puts me at ease, you know? it comforts me, and sometimes entertains me (i love y'alls silly comments abt how i ruin ur life <3)

anyways. thank you for the appreciation. it's hitting just right tonight and know i appreciate you and my mutuals and my readers so much as well!! i wouldn't be here without you. i just want y'all to enjoy what i put out <3

thank you all for sticking around. much love from this emotional writer

xoxo ~ jordie

Yk what, questions that aren't on the list I don't think, I can't remember.

1, what's your favourite book/ movie/ general media genre?

2, if you went to an ice cream shop that had literally every kind of toppings would you get them, if so which ones? (can be real or fictional toppings)

3, was there a specific famous historical event that you wanted to go differently than it had to? If you had the chance to change it, no repercussions, would you?

4, favourite high street food place?

5, avocados: yes or no?

6, which era's clothing style do you like the most? Any particular reason why?

7, where would you like to go if you properly got your retirement?

8, roller skates or ice skates? Both in their respective correct environments, and like just walking down a street in them

9, is there a topic you'd like to know more about?

10, do you have a favourite holiday?

Sorry I took so long to get round to this, there hasn't been many opportunities to just sit down and think about my answers today. I do have some time now though.

Probably documentary style or true crime. I prefer non-fiction to fiction, it's interesting, especially if I discover something I didn't know about already.

Probably marshmallows, the small ones. And then some kind of chocolate sauce? Or brownie pieces. Warm brownie pieces.

I know better than to fuck with history. Besides, I don't think there's any famous historical events I would be interested in changing. Maybe I'd prevent the assassination of Kennedy, as a treat for Diego. I don't know.

I don't think I have one. I like most food places. There isn't really one that's favored above the others? I guess I don't like Indian food as much because I can't stomach it most of the time. My stomach likes to reject anything too spicy.

I don't care for them. So no.

1920s. It's probably obvious why, I like formal wear. Fashion was classy back then.

Someplace quiet. Probably up north? Maybe Canada, or Alaska. Or in one of the Scandinavian countries... Iceland and Norway are particularly beautiful, if I had a house somewhere scenic, I could probably settle down quite happily.

Ice skates, they make a better impromptu weapon. I'd rather walk down the streets in roller-skates though, they'd make travelling a hell of a lot easier.

I wouldn't mind knowing more about psychology. It's always interesting to learn what makes people tick. It also helps with introspection.

Do birthdays count? I haven't had many opportunities to celebrate anything else. Dad was never one for holidays, or celebrations in general. We didn't really do Halloween, or Christmas. Or Thanksgiving. So I'm not attached to any of them.

hiii thank you for the advice ursa!! as for the situation I’ll tell you about it.

It’s about my older sister more than anyone else in my family. When I say like I have to work my schedule even life around hers I truly do mean it. I basically didn’t get to choose the program of study i originally wanted bc it was an hour away and since she was going to start her externship before I did, she thought it was inconvenient for me to do that bc she needs someone to drop off & pick up my nephew from school. This part I get a bit yk but it’s just unfair to me bc now I’m being forced to study something I didn’t want in the first place. I talked to her about this before but she always says the same thing “it’s too far I think you should stick to the program that’s 20 minutes away instead.” This is a huge reason why I don’t want to/ I’m scared to speak up for myself bc I feel like my feelings don’t matter. And not to mention I’ve been putting off all of the perquisite courses that I have to take in person because of her as well. I could’ve been done with my prereqs a year ago if it wasn’t for her. She thinks my school is far from our house (it’s only like 20 minutes away) but it’s inconvenient for her bc she wants me to take care of my nephew all the time. I’m not even kidding sometimes she’ll go out w my brother in law for hours and she’ll leave my nephew w me. In the rare cases she does take him w her as soon as they get home she’ll make a comment somewhere along the line of “it’s your turn to watch him” like wdym he’s not my child?!!

For the part of my homework, I don’t put off family time just for homework if anything it’s the complete opposite. I usually always put off doing homework because someone needs something and in most cases it’s my older sister. This past May I was really busy doing homework bc it was the last few weeks of school. she would make snarky comments like “you’re doing homework AGAIN” or “oh here we go again, we’re just gonna see you on your laptop all day.” Mind you these were assignments I couldn’t put off. I had 2 papers worth like half of my grade and on top of that a presentation for another class and I also had to study for final exams. Her problem is that she depends on me too much to help her with my nephew. I love him more than anything but sometimes I can’t even enjoy my days or even vacation bc she constantly wants me to watch him. I swear to you there’s times when I take care of him more than she does in a week.

I could keep going on and on about this but they’re all similar situations just in different ways. I guess what I’m saying is that I of course want to have a conversation with her about it but I know she’s going to find a way to turn this on me. If not she’s going to make me feel guilty about even bringing anything up (I know this from past experiences). It’s a very difficult situation and I wish I would stop worrying so much about her feelings instead of mine.

I’m so exhausted and mentally drained but I truly do appreciate you helping me out with this ursa, it means so much. 🩷

I am saying this completely genuinely: switch to your first choice program of study. It is doing no one any good if you are studying something you don't like when you could have an academic career you DO want. If it's possible to make the switch (and I mean possible as in your school lets you, not whether anyone else thinks you shouldn't) I say do it. Better to make the change now rather than regret an entire degree later. To be able to get post secondary education is already an incredible opportunity, and you should be allowed to use it to study what YOU want to study. It's YOUR future, not anyone else's.

If you have trouble justifying/explaining to your family/sister, I'd suggest talking about it like this:

(Using my program/career as a placeholder)

“If I'm going to be a [professional stage manager], then I need to go to this university/college/school and take this [technical theatre stage management] program that they offer.” And back it up with, “This is the field of study I want to work in, and I won't have the career I want if I'm doing the program that is ‘more convenient’.” 

Obviously that alone isn't enough but I can assure you that you can and should take the study program you want to take. Look into what it would be like to transit daily to that 1 hour away school, and at the same time look into dormitories/roommates/on and off campus living for that school. 1 hour away is actually pretty significant, BUT worth it in the long run if you do the work to find what is viable for you.

Please know that I am open to continuing talking with you about this bc I understand that it's not always easy to stand up for yourself (especially in cases of family) and this post might not be enough to fully convince you. I just really think you deserve better and I want you to live the life you wanna live!!

Also— your 4 year old nephew is not your responsibility! As a 22 year old aunt, being available to pick up your nephew from school if one of his parents were suddenly unavailable would be a normal level of favour to do for your sister. Picking him up from school every single day is not. Yes, a 4yo can't be left alone, but either your 28yo sister or 30yo brother in law need to be able to take care of that!!!!! THEY chose to be parents so THEY need to take responsibility. Either they have to figure out a way to pick him up, or they can look into a daycare service or babysitters. You are not a free babysitter!

I understand that living with them gives way to a different dynamic, but think about it this way: if you had 0% input on whether or not this child was going to exist, then you take 0% responsibility for their care. Of course you can offer to help watch this child from time to time, but it never was and never should have been your duty!! Like it's honestly ridiculous for these two grown adults to expect you to watch their child that often! You are still so young!!!!!!!! 22 is legally an adult yes but like!! Barely!!! You're still in school and have so much ahead of you and ugh!!! This made me heated!!

I think a huge part of this is that you need to start believing that your feelings matter, anon, because they really do. Tell anyone else about your situation and they'll tell you the same thing I am. You matter!

[ai-thne]

can't believe someone still has to say this but if you, a cis straight girl, fancy yourself for having so many friends who are gay men, but think that that makes you entitled to say the f slur and act weird around my partner and i (lesbians) when we're there talking to our mutual friend, you're a bigot in rainbow clothes.

[mincentmango]

Alright I know that literally nobody cares about this but I need to get this out somewhere. I shifted for the first time last night and I am absolutely fucking ecstatic. I have been trying to shift since September 2020, and to finally do it now? It doesn't even feel real tbh. I won't say that I never gave up on shifting, I definitely did multiple times, but I'm so glad that I kept trying.

I didn't even think I was going to shift, it was like 11pm, I could barely keep my eyes open and my affirmations were just so half-assed. I had my bedroom window open (cause yk summer it's hot) and I could hear a motorbike driving around and it was absolutely driving me mental so I just stopped trying to shift and ended up falling asleep at about 11:40pm.

I woke up in my waiting house bedroom, and at first I only stretched and opened my eyes a tiny bit so I thought that I was just so tired that I thought I was somewhere else but really I was still in my bedroom but nope. I fucking freaked the hell out. I didn't panic as much as I thought I would but there was a lot of crying (happy tears though dw)

Basically I just spent some time wandering around my waiting house and grounding myself bcs I'd quite literally left my body and flown (idk wtf else to call it) to another bloody universe.

Eventually I just thought to myself "hmm i wanna go to my teen wolf dr seeing scott would be so great rn" AND I WAS JUST THERE. I was in the freaking school and oh my goddd. Since I don't have a script for that dr (as of rn) and didn't specify anything in my brain I just kinda spawned in the school. I think I was just wearing the uniform and my schoolbag idk if I had a hoodie or anything I was too busy trying not to freak out tbh

So I went to try and find my locker because everyone was gonna go to 2nd period in a few minutes (idk how I knew that I just did??) and Stiles mfing Stilinski came up and started talking to me. We just talked about science and lacrosse then Grace (my best friend who I script in to almost all of my drs) came over as well and we were all just talking about normal stuff. Once everyone had their stuff ready for 2nd period Stiles seen Scott and called him over and I just stood there like "🧍‍♂️ holy fucking shit it's Scott McCall"

We all had Science together next so we walked together and Grace sat at the front near the door, me and Scott sat together at the back, and Stiles sat near us. At some point we went into this random empty classroom so the teacher could blow stuff up (safely ofc but it was still really cool) and some white girl said something like "i wanna make that so i can blow up all the (n-slurs)" so Grace chased her and threatened to use it to blow up her face.

And yea that was basically all that happened. I spent a while more there but nothing really interesting happened it was just a normal school day.

Also random if anyone cares about Scott McCall x male!reader and Stiles Stilinski x gn!reader I most post some headcanons/stuff that actually happened in my shift soon :)
