Okay, but. Would Luo Bing-mei (and the SVSSS-version of PIDW’s world) not exist without the transmigrators? Or would it be a duplicate of PIDW? Does this Binghe’s existence depend on outside interference, or is it just his happiness (debatable at times) that Shen Yuan has saved? Is this rescue or an act of creation?

(Is Shen “Mother” Qingqiu canon?)

Related: is it really about Binghe, or just the world, the story? Was Shen Yuan’s love for Binghe the ‘hero’ that defeated the villainous System? Or was that its intention all along?

(Is Shen “Simp” Yuan also a white knight?)

I know it’s interpretable and we can’t really have a canon-based answer (unless I bring out the “theories” binder, which I’m disinclined to do without another reread) and that it doesn’t really matter, at the end of the day, but. You know.

I’ve mostly posted the parts of the modern AU that are filled with whimsy because the internet is in shambles but rest assured, the directors cut in my head has a hard MA rating

I do like the choice from Halsin to bring in a new Druid to take over the grove, rather than someone from within. It makes sense. There's a very Silvanite wisdom to it. The connection to nature is more important than your connection to people. They worship Silvanus, after all, who disdains civilization (he doesn't consider it part of the natural order).

Kagha isn't completely wrong.

That's why the Shadow Druids are able to get to her; Halsin's not doing a great job protecting the Grove, which is their sacred duty.

Definitely more important than the lives of a few people.

So the place needs a bit of a do-over. Someone untouched by relationships, history, and bias, who can come in and bring things back to the proper ways of Silvanus. I'm not saying Halsin thought Kagha was right, I'm just saying it would make his move of appointing Francesca of the High Forest an acknowledgment of his own Silvanite 'flaws'.

which is cool

Got a mini tarot deck at Five Below because it’s adorable and the Ogham oracle deck I’ve been studying for the past few weeks is very very complicated to use without prior experience with cartomancy, which I do not have. So I tried the “past present future” thing with the mini deck. But it didn’t really give me anything coherent and overall didn’t “feel” right; so I just reshuffled, did a 4x4 grid, and flipped the cards over. It makes more sense that way lol.

So far it’s telling me:

Your life is harmonious as it is (Two of Cups), so you don’t need to take on any new things at the moment, despite there being many opportunities presenting themselves to you (Four of Cups). Even though you are powerful, fortune and opportunity are on your side and you will succeed if you take on something new (The Magician), it will be more than you can handle and you will exhaust yourself; focus on healing for now (reversed Four of Swords).

Surprisingly accurate but half of the magic is in how you interpret the cards… so personal bias comes in. If your head isn’t clear and you’re wanting to hear something specific; then your reading will be skewed. Maybe this is subconsciously what I wanted to hear. I’ll try to interpret it another way as well just to see what I get.

Whatever… One thing is for certain though: it does force you to slow down and think… No wonder the Jehovah’s Witnesses hate it so much lol

To The Hilt

[a fill for this prompt from @silmkinkmeme's promptfest]

“You’re antagonizing him,” Anairë snapped irritably at her husband in the middle of his latest tirade on his unreasonable half-brother.

Nolofinwë’s mouth stuttered to a stop as his brain caught up with what she said. “What?”

“You-” she said, sitting up angrily in bed to glare at him- “have done nothing but complain about his madness while you go about behind his back to get your own way. It is all you talk about now, all you think about! When was the last time you asked me what I have done? When was the last time you took an interest in our children outside of politics?”

Taken aback, he sputtered out, “Leadership of the Noldor is important,” and sat up, uncomfortable with the way she was looming over him.

“We are important!” She all but screamed at him. 

“W—”

She overrode him. “This feud and your ludicrous conspiracies of betrayal and corruption of the Valar is all you keep in your mind now. You forget your tender words and touches but you remember your hideous tool of war whenever you go out.” She pointed accusingly at his sword, Ringil, where it hung in a place of honor above the bed.

“We need protection,” he insisted.

“Protection? Protection? That will not protect us!” A mad light gleamed in her eyes. She surged to her feet, hands falling on the scabbard of the sheathed blade. “This protects no one. Can’t you see that? Can’t you see how this insanity drives a wedge between us?”

“What are you doing?” He scrambled back across the luxurious mattress (only the finest craft befitted a son of the king) as she brought the sword down. “Anairë?” 

“We don’t need another war, and we don’t need more fighting.” She brandished the thankfully still sheathed sword at him. “Now, lay down.”

not sure what would fix me at present. contenders are floating face down to the ocean for a week, driving west until i cross the mississippi, throwing my homework on the floor quitting my job, and gabe and i getting our own apartment. unfortunately cannot come up with any strategies to fix myself that are immediately practical and accessible and have no negative consequences.

Episode one of Supernatural is so flawed that, had I watched it for the first time last night (instead of for the third), I would not have have watched the second. Ever. The flaws are things I simply didn't pick up on when I was thirteen, and memory glazed over with emotional attachment. I understand why these flaws are there, what the writers tried and failed to do through clumsy dialogue and strange character decisions. There's no subtlety. Everything Sam says is direct exposition, specifically the things that he would not have to say to his brother.

I do not do reviews so that's all I'm going to say.
