Bit of a personal post here. It’s a bit long so read more…
That winged lion i reblogged earlier looks very familiar to a form I used to take in my ‘past life’. I’ve mentioned before that I am not a spiritual therian in that I do not believe I was a lion in a past life. My past is complicated and I haven’t ever really spoke about it but since this is a personal blog i feel like I can talk about it to a degree.
I wholly believe I was some form of archivist in what is generally known to humanity as the ‘Akashic records’. It is my past and I believe it will be my future, and I believe I am on earth in this form either for training purposes or as some kind of penance for bungling something up on the higher end. Anyways, I took many forms in my previous role, but none of them really have much significance to me other than the leonine one, which my current lion form does not really reflect, and it is probably only significant because of who I am here and now… I suppose.
I am somewhat at odds that most discussion of them revolves around reading the records. From what a recall this stuff was kept under lock and key and could not be read by anything but other archivists, of which there were few, but this is not a reflection of all worlds, so these people are probably pulling something from somewhere. Honestly, if anyone is reading the records this may have been my fault, it would explain this ‘punishment’. This would be a light sentence for such a grievous breach of security though.
I guess I can understand why people would be fascinated by the idea of the contents though, it’s just a shame there’s little discussion of the ‘place’ itself though I don’t really know what I would expect anyone to say about it. I guess you just had to be there.
I miss the ‘records’ fiercely. The urge to keep and organise and protect everything cannot be quelled and is just not possible and it is quite hard to deal with some days! However, this life is still very beneficial as I have really come to appreciate the little things as well. When you are in a role with so much… everything… all the time it can be easy for the details to be fuzzy. Sometimes you just categorise just to categorise and don’t really appreciate the gravity of what you are holding.
I’m glad to be here, I do hope I get to go home one day though. There isn’t anything on earth that is truly like it but some things do, in fleeting moments, come close
Y’know those evil personas that Youtubers had back in like 2017 or so? I love the idea of those. I think we should bring back using opposite names as like our 'evil persona'. I'll go first, hello everyone, my name is InformallyCertain! Awful to meet you, now I'm off to kick a puppy, or whatever it is evil people do!!

a comic: neil and aaron play super smash bros! i wouldn't let myself sleep until i drew this
(for context, PK fire is Earthbound Ness's neutral special + Lucas's side special and they're both regarded as very annoying to deal with, especially when spammed- which Neil is doing bc he doesn't know how to do anything else but button mash #gamer) aaron would play... fox or something idk. or ike.
