Ok

okay im back and it's kára time!!

i don't get to use kára much which sucks cause they're one of my fave ocs but that's kinda on me cause i'm lowkey afraid to throw her at people. but have some thoughts, slight loki spoilers but if you really care that much you have the tag blocked anyway

so as it stands kára is main timeline Ioki's kid, but didn't know that for sure until after ragnorak because Ioki had no involvement in their life and they were raised by their mother and by various asgardian elders.

and at no point do i think that's going to change, it's important to me that kára be able to stand alone as a character without being dependent on a childhood raised by Ioki (because if i ever DO interact with a Ioki blog that's a pain to sort out and also frankly kára having no connection with her parent and potentially developing one later is much more interesting to me). she is Ioki's child but she is not LOKI's child ya know? kára is their own person, and her experiences are shaped by being different but loved nonetheless. and that's important because in some ways so was Ioki and they share this, but they don't know it, but she also got to have a lot of experiences that Ioki would never get to have and these are important too.

anyway, all this to say, i'm toying with the idea that maybe kára isn't main timeline Ioki's kid. maybe they're a variant's kid, one that still wasn't part of her life, but it would give me a little more room to play around with universe stuff. i'm not sure in this case whether it really matter's which timeline's Ioki's spawn kára is though. she still grows up on asgard, and still escapes when asgard is destroyed in ragnorak.

i would love plots with a mobius or other tva agents cause yeah either way kára could totally be a variant that wasn't supposed to happen and also any and all Ioki variants cause i'm having THOUGHTS about my bby

also semi unrelated but talissa and kára are basically variants of each other and i think that's neat. (like they have vastly different personalities but they are both orphaned children of tricksters (and gabriel called himself Ioki in spn before revealing his true identity) who dabble in magic)

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

you will probably not look like a skinny white anime girl when you transition you will likely look like someone's mom and you need to realize how swag this is

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

[vamprisms]

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.

it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.

it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords
