In Another Life idea/snippet/word vomit

Toto’s name is being shouted across the garage, George’s trainer coming over with concerned look on his face. He’s been in this sport long enough to know there is something wrong with his driver, and knowing George, it’s something he shouldn’t have done.

“George is heading to the hospital.”

Fucking George, Toto thinks, trying to keep his expression from faltering. They had Qualifying in a few hours and George would have tried to make it, would have strong-armed his way into getting into the car if he could get away with it.

“With what?” He asks instead, truly worried for George, but also now mentally scrambling for who he was going to put in the car now. Kimi? Still too young and inexperienced in an F1 car. The Williams drivers? Who would they substitute with? There’s no way Toto is giving them Fred.

“Appendicitis.”

Toto resists the urge to face palm. What is it with drivers and appendicitis? The chatter around him grows silent as cheering erupts from outside, the faint sound of someone winning the F2 sprint race.

Curiosity spikes in him as some of the mechanics shake hands, grins wide on their faces. He leans over, the screens playing a replay of a blue car soaring past the checkered flag.

Logan Sargeant is the graphic that pops up, won from P16. He doesn’t have time to read the rest of the stats, not when James is in front of him somehow, Mick and Alex’s name on the tip of his tongue.

“What about your F2 driver?” Toto asks, cutting off James before he goes on a tangent about Mick’s and Alex’s performance; they’re good, Toto knows that, but his interest has been piqued by the American driver.

“Logan? He’s not ready.” James says immediately, “No, you have to go with either Alex or Mick.”

“Have? I don’t have to do anything you say James,” Toto reminds him, “Tell the kid I want to met him, he has potential, Vowles, look at him.” He motions to the screen that is showing another replay of Logan doing an easy overtake on one of the Campos drivers before forcing a Prema driver to yield.

Multiple emotions cross James’ face before he huffs, turning in his heel and storming out of the garage, pulling off the headset as he goes.

“He’s second in the championship by the way,” George’s trainer says, “If there was anyone to substitute George, he would want Logan to be the one.”

alright that’s all ya girl has got, this scene popped up on me while i was at work so enjoy it 😚

Goyuu Hanahaki disease AU with a twist, so instead of hana (flower) it's baby so it's Babyhaki disease, where instead of flowers grow inside your lungs when you have a crush on someone, you grow a baby in your belly instead. If the love is requited, the baby will look like the one who is crushed on, and the bigger and deeper the feelings involved, the more the baby will take after the 'father', but if the love is unrequited, the baby will either be miscarriaged, a stillborn, or in a rare chance continue to live, they'll look exactly like the one crushing on or the 'mother'. So when peace finally comes down to Jujutsu and Gojo-sensei is saved like the others, Choso, Higuruma, Nanami. And out of nowhere Yuji starts showing symptoms of morning sickness with a slight bump on his belly that keeps growing by the weeks, throwing everyone out of the loop of discovery.

They begin speculating, from Yuji got another curse he ingested (to which Yuji swore he didn't, the last time was his big brothers the Kusouzu but Choso confirmed they had all dissolved within Yuji's soul fully), to Yuji was conceiving a cursed womb after unknowingly got impregnated by an unregistered curse (which is unlikely because Yuji would've known unless he was taken while being unconscious. In that case, Choso who was monitoring him would've also know). So none of the speculations were likely to happen.

As Yuji's condition can only be explained as extraordinary pregnancy and everyone is at their wits' end with his belly getting bigger.

Yuji who (despite trying hard to pretend, saying he'll be fine and doesn't want to abort the baby, wanting to keep them at least until the day they should be born because doesn't want to object whatever it is growing inside him as another case of aborted fetus, just like all his other big brothers) begins to show signs of demotivation, is sapped of his usual bright energy, and is getting sickly every other day. Until one day Nanami comes back from the library, showing him a ripped part of an old scroll, which explains a rare ancient curse that caused the phenomeneon called the babyhaki disease, and that whatever illness is eating away at Yuji's body and soul will be cured once the fetus is out of his system, alive or not.

"Perhaps, this is the one," Nanami explains, "it could be due to the effect of last time ancient curses and incarnations alike surged after the CG and disappeared along with Sukuna's parting, but maybe this ancient curse lingered and infiltrated the very person whose body attracted and was conducive to host it. Itadori-kun's body constitution as an innate vessel which had hosted a dormant curse for a long time before, ever since he was born without himself knowing, now said curse was gone, leaving his body void, it was plausible if something like this were to happen."

All the people in the room stared hard at Yuji, still reeling from the shock of the only plausible explanation of what could be the 1st time they ever encountered in his lifetime. But then again, the case of Sukuna's vessel was also the only time they had ever witnessed and it was all tied to Yuji, so this being another case w/ the boy is far from impossible.

Yuji could only shrink under all the hard and questioning stares directed at him. Just like the others, he'd never heard about that ancient curse and it was true, that he had never realized he was born with a curse residing within him before, until he got acquainted by jujutsu. Perhaps after Sukuna, it made his soul and body just sensitize and is prone to other curses to keep residing inside him.

"It says if both parties are human then the fetus will be human, not a cursed womb," Nanami continues, still not making any of them relieved, except for Yuji, yet he tries to hide it by avoiding everyone's stare.

"Who is it, Yuji?" Gojo suddenly asks, his voice cold and detached of any emotion.

"What do you mean, Sensei?"

"If this is the only plausible explanation for this rare phenomenon than it could only be what really happened, surely you would know who the other person is?"

Yuji goes silent and at that point, everyone gets the message. Yuji doesn't want anyone to know who the other party is. Most likely because it's unrequited.

Even after weeks of being coaxed, Yuji still refuses to say anything, opting to just avoid everyone's entirely, much to everyone's dismay bcs his health gets deteriorated further, so they all agree to leave it for now and focus on keeping Yuji and the fetus healthy till the day of delivery. Because stillborn or not, that's the only way to get the sickness out of Yuji's system entirely.

Yuji of course knows who it is, it's none other than Sensei...

But, if the curse is true, then it'd be better to just keep it himself. If the baby is alive, he'll look exactly like Yuji himself, he's 100% sure of it, so no one is gonna be the wiser and he won't cause any trouble to his Sensei by forcing him this burden.

This is Yuji's one-sided feelings, so he's the one gonna be responsible for it, not the other. He doesn't want to tie Sensei to him out of obligation that none of them thought was even possible if not for this shitty curse that came out of nowhere and due to his weird body constitution of being a vessel. No, his Sensei is too important for this world and the others. It won't do him any good if Sensei has to have another responsibility under him when he already got too many in his hands, Yuji thought, especially since Gojo-sensei wouldn't have wanted it in the first place but will be forced to take the responsibility as an adult.

So when the day the baby is due, after 1 hour of difficult surgery and another half an hour of recovery, where after Yuji finally awakes to the sight of everyone having another shock of their life, himself included, as he's face to face with the sight of tiny Gojo Satoru swaddled in cotton blanket and put on his bare chest.

Yuji, unable to comprehend the situation still, moves his eyes to a rare sight of (Yuji has to rub his eyes once because he thinks he must be dreaming), Gojo-sensei's face with a drying tear tracks on his cheeks, holding his hand tightly

"S-Sensei..." Yuji whispers hoarsely but soon clams up, not able to form another word.

The room goes into pregnant silence, until Shoko is the one breaking the ice.

"It's alright, Itadori, this is also the 1st time for all of us to see Gojo crying, some of us thought he didn't even have tear ducts..."

"But..."

"Honestly, I'm not surprised this is how the baby turns out. Now, if you'll excuse me, anyone can stay, but I need to take the baby."

"What? Why??" Yuji begins to feel anxious and moves his free hand that isn't held by Gojo to hold his baby but Shoko is faster.

"Your baby is small, and he didn't breath simultaneously upon delivery. And yes, it's a boy, Itadori, so congrats to the Gojo family I guess. We all actually thought the Gojo bloodline will end with this idiot, he himself thinks so."

"But for now, the baby needs to be put into the incubator and observed for a while.

"Don't worry Yuji, the machine is right beside you here, see?" Choso is sitting on his other side, smiling and stroking Yuji's hair gently and pointing to a glass box behind him where Shoko puts the baby inside and deftly attaches all kinds of tubes and wires, including a pediatric CPAP ( mechanical oxygen supply) to cover his tiny nose and mouth. Only now Yuji realizes how small and pale the baby looks. Tears well up in his eyes in an instant, seeing his baby conditions.

It's because he wasn't healthy during his pregnancy, he was restless, and despite hiding it, he was heartbroken, thinking his baby won't even get the chance to know who his father is. So it affects him because the baby is human. The guilt starts eating away inside his chest.

"Yuji..." Gojo softly calls, he rubs his moist eyes several times and drags a palm down his face. His tone somewhat heavy with regrets

"Yuji...yuji..yuji..."

Yuji pushes over the lump in his throat and croaks, "Sensei, so-sorry...I-"

"Yuji, why did you never say anything to me? Even when I asked you who the other is? We could've saved so much time..." Gojo was looking at him square in the eyes, there's no blaming in his eyes, only sadness and regrets.

"You shouldnt try bearing the pregnancy alone, if I had known, I would've been around you more, but I was worried I would be annoying you."

"But...I never thought, I never thought you would feel the same way about me, Sensei..."

"Why not? did you ever ask me before?"

"No...but, you told me about how you got sealed back then and it was because you thought of that man, right? I asked Ieiri-san about him, and I, I just assumed from the stories..."

"But did you ever ask me directly?"

Yuji lowers his eyes and says nothing.

"Suguru is my best friend, a comrade, at one point in my life I considered him a confidant, a family, the way I felt about him is the way Yuji feels about Megumi and Nobara. It's not the same way I feel about Yuji." Gojo squeezes his hand tighter.

Yuji looks up at him and gasps, "R-really?" unable to hide the hope and warm beginning to seep inside all the pores in his body and voice.

"Truly." Gojo nods, nothing but sincerity in his voice. He brings Yuji's hand to his lips and pecks it gently, raising the blush on Yuji's cheeks.

Choso clears his throat loudly and glares at Gojo, but it goes ignored by the other sorcerer.

Yuji is at loss for words, and Megumi chimes in. "Tbh, Itadori, Gojo-sensei was not being subtle at all, though I know he tries hard to."

"Huh? Seriously? I didn't know that?"

"It's true though..." Gojo confirms.

"Then, Sensei! Shouldn't you also say something to me?" Suddenly Yuji feels they are both in the wrong for wasting so much time when they can actually be together.

"But Yuji! Think about it from my perspective Yuji, I'm your teacher and an adult, you're my student and still a minor, even if the Great Teacher Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer of modern era, lives by his own rule, I'm still concern about what's right or wrong for the people I care about!

"Plus, I thought Yuji have always had eyes for Nanamin, so I don't want to interfere your feelings unless I'm sure, if not for this curse...no maybe it's not a curse, but actually a blessing??"

Nanami groans, "Whatever it is, don't bring me into this," he sighs, "Gojo-san was just doing what adults should've done at this situation, Itadori. What's important is now everything is finally out in the clear and hopefully the sickness is cured now the baby is born."

"Oniichan thinks Nanami or Fushiguro is the better option, Yuji." Choso comments randomly.

"Hush you! I'm your brother-in-law now, so be nice to me from now on, big brother."

"Same goes to you, it means I'm your elder now so you should obey me. Don't you even think of hurting Yuji or breaking his heart or I'll k!ll you when you sleep and kidnap Yuji and his baby."

"CHOSO!" Yuji yells.

"Let him try, Yuji, he won't be able to do it anyway. Besides, I don't plan on leaving Yuji ever again let alone hurt him!"

"Good, then I dare you to make a binding vow for that with Yuji, so if you so much as accidentally violate it, you'll get repercussions."

"I don't want that!" Yuji says.

"Maybe what you mean is a vow of marriage, Choso-san," Nanami supplies, "but that's gonna have to wait until Yuji is 18."

"Technically, Japan's laws can allow under 18 as long as the parents' give permission," Higuruma adds, seeing as Yuji's guardian is now Choso-"

"Then, oniichan, thank you for your help! I owe you big one this time," Gojo bows slightly.

"Hmph, if Yuji wants it, I'll think abt it after you make that binding vow."

"No problem!" Gojo finally backs to his cheery self.

"What? Wait, Sensei!"

"Don't worry, Yuji, I mean what I said before, I won't break it no matter what."

"But the baby, the baby is sick...will he...survive?"

"Of course he will! He's our baby, isn't he? So he must be also The strongest baby! Just so you know, Yuji, Sensei was also born prematurely, weighed only 2,4 kg, and length 46 cm, and look how tall and healthy I am now! So don't worry he'll pull through and grow big and strong like us too, hell, he may even surpass me in height!"

Yuji chuckles.

"Hmm I prefer he'll be cute like Yuji, though," Choso says. "But since he has your face, he's not gonna be cute. Yuji, make sure your next baby looks like you, okay? So oniichan can play with little Yuji to his heart's content."

"Oi, choso, don't be weird," Yuji sighs. "In the first place, I can conceive due to a curse, is it possible for me to conceive again after this, I mean, now that Gojo-sensei and I know about our feelings-" He stops himself, suddenly it dawns on him and everything still feels so surreal.

To know that his unrequited love he had hid since forever, determined to bring it to his grave with him, is somehow not just reciprocated but is given back stronger, if the fact that his baby's face looks nothing short of Gojo Satoru's carbon copy, albeit a tiny version of him. Unable to hide his shyness, Yuji buries his face in his hands.

"Oh, we'll never know till we try, don't we?" Gojo singsongs with a sly tone in his voice, "I'll make sure we'll try many times to make lots of babies after this, Yuji~"

Yuji buries his face further, pulling his blankets through his head so only charming sight of his red ears and nape are showing.

"Binding vow first!" Choso shouts again, to which Gojo only laughs heartily.

Looking at both the adorable sight of his beloved Yuji and the baby secured within a blanket inside the incubator beside them, a sudden tranquility and warmth wash over his whole being.

Satoru always thinks himself belongs to no one but his own. And that the world should bow to him in exchange of him being responsible to maintain its peace

And that he's the only one should carry that burden, without relying to anyone or do it for anyone.

But now there are two other most important things in his life, that he would prioritize over everything in

This world, over everyone else first. And suddenly he doesn't feel very alone anymore.

The thought only brings calm and serenity.

He now has a family to take care of.

Ah, maybe this is what those people talk about, how it feels.

The feeling of finally settling down.

His indomitable spirit with strongest ego finally being tamed by something as domestic as having two babies he love over everything else.

For once and the first time in his life, he starts envisioning to grow old and live a long peaceful life, away from the monster inside him.

• • •

(And so after Yuji's recovery, out of being bitter that their relationship started backwards in process, Goyuu gives it their all to make up for their lost time together and tries to make babies day and night)

natsu’s first pair of volleyball shoes used to belong to her brother.

she’s in her second year of junior high when she tries them on. mom bought them secondhand at a sports store, practically brand new. now, the rubber is fading, the laces are fraying, and there’s barely any cushioning left. “why can’t i get my own?” she complains later at dinner.

mom sighs. “we can check the store over the weekend. since those fit, you can use them for now.”

the next day, natsu arrives at practice with her beat-up court shoes, noticing her teammates’ shoes, clean and colorful.  she can still wear runners – a few girls still do – but they pinch her toes and the traction has been worn down. with great reluctance, she puts on her shoes.

“nice shoes, hinata,” mina, the third-year ace, snickers when she notices them. “you get them at a dumpster?” fumiko, the third-year middle blocker, laughs with her. natsu turns away, cheeks burning, unable to quell her envy at their asics-branded shoes.

thankfully, no one else comments about her footwear. despite the lack of cushioning, they still support her feet, and she leaves without any pain in her heels, unlike when she wore her runners.

shoyo calls her that night. “everything okay, natsu-chan?”

“no.” she’s at her desk, legs folded beneath her. the house is quiet, with mom at another late shift, and her brother on the other side of the world. “i asked mom for court shoes, and you know what she gave me? your old ones!”

“from high school? i didn’t know she kept them!”

“apparently. she said we can check the sports store on the weekend, but i’m not optimistic.” it isn’t a secret that their family isn’t well-off, especially after dad left. shoyo worked hard for a year after graduating to afford brazil, all the while training. natsu, when she can, takes odd jobs around the neighborhood, like tutoring kids in math, walking dogs, caring for gardens. while her friends hang out in town, she prefers staying home to read, watch tv, cook. anything that doesn’t cost too much money.

“i’m sure she’ll be able to buy you a pair, especially if it’s secondhand,” shoyo says brightly. “if she can’t, just let me know, and i’ll help you out!” natsu can hear the strain behind his words. she knows life isn’t easy for him either, juggling two jobs with training and competing. not to mention the language barrier, living far from home, having absolutely no acquaintances except for lucio-san…

i can figure it out myself, she thinks after hanging up. maybe i’ll get lucky and there’ll be a secondhand pair that fits me, too.

unfortunately, she has no such luck. she sulks while mom talks with the sales associate, who explains how their inventory mostly caters to male athletes. “you’ll find a larger variety in sendai city,” he explains.

“i see. thank you for your help.” mom places a hand on her shoulder. “come on, let’s go.”

“we aren’t going into the city, are we?”

mom shakes her head. “i have to work tonight. if you want, i can drop you off at the train station…”

natsu declines, so they climb into the car to head home. “what’s wrong with your brother’s shoes?” mom asks. “there aren’t any holes and they fit.”

“barely. i have to tie the laces really tight, or they’ll fall off.”

“oh. well, we can wait until you’re in high school to buy you a pair. you can use those for now.” there it is, the final verdict. natsu faces the window, trying not to cry. all her equipment are hand-me-downs, left behind in her brother’s closet. while many think she’s playing volleyball because of him, it’s also because she genuinely enjoys it. she, too, wants to fly and surpass barriers, to connect with her teammates.

she just wishes she can forge her own legacy instead of living in his shadow.

for the rest of the day, she scours the internet for affordable court shoes. she bookmarks several, mostly for their colors, intending to ask tobio-nii for his advice on which one is best. until then, though, she’ll have to earn enough money to buy them.

jobs don’t come easily for a junior high student. there aren’t any gardens to care for because it’s autumn; instead, she walks more dogs since the days are getting colder. she still tutors the neighborhood kids in math, asking for a 100-yen increase, which the parents happily oblige. she doesn’t tell shoyo about it, doesn’t want to burden him with her own selfishness. he paid for his trip to brazil, so she can pay for her own shoes.

by winter, she’s saved enough money to buy them, only for that money to go toward groceries after mom fractures her wrist and is forced to take time off work. “i’m sorry, natsu,” mom murmurs as she places two plates of curry on the table. “i know you’ve been working hard, even though you should be playing with your friends.”

natsu shakes her head. “i’d rather help you. i’ll have the rest of my life to play.” granted, it’ll be saddled with adulthood, but she’ll deal with that whenever she gets there. making sure her mom is cared for is more important.

christmas is quiet with just the two of them since shoyo couldn’t afford to fly back. their video call lasts longer than usual, but shoyo eventually goes to sleep, and natsu feels the abyss in her chest widening, wishing he were home to support them, to hold her and reassure her that everything will be fine.

winter melts into spring. natsu opens the door for the mailman, who is holding a package. “this is for hinata natsu-san.”

“uh, that’s me, but i didn’t…”

the mailman simply asks for her signature, then leaves. she brings the box inside, but before she can open it, her phone rings. it’s shoyo. “hey, natsu-chan! did you get a package yet?”

“i just got it. did you…?”

“open it!”

she slices through the tape and pulls the flaps apart, eyes widening at the box inside. “nii-chan. you…”

it’s a pair of volleyball shoes, one that she bookmarked. there’s no way he could’ve known, especially since she didn’t tell tobio-nii. so how…? “mom told you.”

“she saw your bookmarks. that’s her tablet, you know.”

natsu huffs, picking up one of the shoes to inspect. “i…was saving to buy them, myself. i know you have a lot going on, and you don’t earn a lot either. you didn’t have to do this.”

“i do, natsu-chan. do you know why?” her brother’s voice is soft. “it’s because we’re family. if you want something but mom can’t afford it, i’ll buy it. your brother isn’t completely broke; i have sponsors and lots of people supporting me. you guys don’t, so it’s my duty to help.”

“but…”

“if you really want to repay me, use those shoes to go to nationals. you’ll fly even higher with them!”

“yeah. okay.” she smiles, does what she can to suppress her tears. “thank you, nii-chan.” it’s the least she can do, until it’s her turn to return the favor.

You've probably gotten this a lot already, but Bluesky is basically Twitter, but if you don't like how political the ads have been and want to see more "tweets" from people that follow the social politics of Tumblr + where all the "adult content" artists went + where the academics and institutional scientists are moving to; it's a good place to go for that. As you can tell tho, I have some mixed feelings about what's been happening to it, as it was initially built to have multiple instances spread across the net, but it's become fairly centralized now that Twitter is hemorrhaging users of generally a left leaning persuasion who have only ever used twitter and have no desire to integrate with the original vision of the site and instead use it as Twitter 2.0. I will say, an upside is an easier creation and cultivation of "feeds" which let you have multiple themed feeds for you to follow and potentially contribute to. Like feed of just cat pictures. Or a feed of just current scientific findings from scientists. That kinda thing. Of course there's also just who you're following feed, which doesn't use AI algorithms to supplement it, it's just who you're following like on Tumblr.

Anyways, hope this helps shed some light on things, and I hope this wasn't too forward of me lol. Have a great day!

wait this is a really good explanation and way more in-depth than i was expecting, thank you!!

i just checked it out and yeah. it looks Exactly like twitter, at least on desktop. just without the hundreds of bot replies and blue checkmark users with the most hate-filled takes i've ever read.

Developing Xanthos is sooooooooo fun I missed being obsessed with my own OC 😭

He felt like an outsider in his own family (everyone else was skilled with invention and metal working and the likes, but he struggled with that kind of creativity) which lead to him becoming an extroverted busybody of a guy.

But also he's scared of being Judged by others- this lead to him sort of rejecting Floette as a member of his family, because during this period in time (pkmn bronze age), it was considered unnatural to treat pkmn in such a way. AZ meanwhile was very close to Floette and treated her like a sister, as their mother had requested of him some many years ago.

AZ was close with his family, but struggled to make friends. Most people considered him to be strange and unsettling, which was only made worse by how close and familial he was with Floette. But... Xanthos felt a strange jealousy towards AZ 💔

In addition to being closer to their family, AZ was just... openly weird. He seemed not to be concerned about what others thought about him. This is a little untrue- AZ did care, but it was less bc he cared about fitting in and more bc he was lonely and being Strange just made him lonelier. But Xanthos did not see this loneliness... He only saw that AZ, in some ways, seemed to have a lot more freedom than himself.

If AZ and Xanthos ever talked to one another about all this their lives would've been much happier. Unfortunately it didn't work out like that 😔

banging my head on the table

why do people have this urge to come onto other peoples' posts and make it about themselves.

the number of times ive talked about My Own Lore publicly and someones come onto My post to talk about their stuff while completely ignoring everything i said.

like do you not realize how shitty that feels. wouldnt you not want it to happen to you.

then why the FUCK do you do it to others.

[eruruu]

rly cool my wordpress articles have been blocked from google search indexing n im actually upset abt it bc they r things important to me

also im kinda anxious cuz i feel like im in trouble?

[pomshine]

Not that this is any too surprising after my few months of unintentional silence, I'm sure-

Like mentioned in my last post here back in January, I have been trying to get back into using this blog, tidying up my muse list and trying to work things out to make it more comfortable to actually return in full, but this process has only made me realize one huge problem: I've either fallen out of love/interest with most of what I had going on with the muses here, or the muses have just grown so much elsewhere, like Sera, that returning here feels like setting them back more than I'm comfortable with. Adding in the fact this year hasn't been kind to me, including losing a pet two months ago, and I just, at the moment, can't figure out what to do with this blog.

I'd still love to come back and use this blog at some point! However, I have to admit even to myself right now is not the time, no matter how much I keep trying to force it to be. As it is, I've done a muse shuffle so much that the only remaining muses here are Seun and Maika - And I've come to realize Seun is best suited for more slice of life style things while Maika may eventually have something lined up, I'm not sure.

So for the time being, Pomshine is on an indef hiatus, with the intention to come back once I figure out what to do with it - At some point in the future, just not right now. I do know, though, that Sera won't be returning to this blog as anything more than a 'once in a blue moon and by request' muse when I do, and even that is solely for established partners already interested in her, for a lot of reasons - One of which being she has her own blog, now.

If anyone is at all interested in following where I am more active, health and offline stuff permitting, Sera has been fully moved to her own blog, @sakurarisen, and I have a Genshin Impact multimuse over at @thundertide, as well. I'm also in the process of setting up a Honkai: Star Rail OC as a side to Thundertide, and have been getting into doing far more completely original content, so if any of that is your thing, that's where I'll be! <3

Sending all the love~

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Revision and Void State; how to revised your failed attempts with the void state!.𖥔 ݁ ˖

This thread will be based on the idea I had when @/samoaconsiencia(twt) asked for help in our LOA group on how she could revised failed attempts to enter the void state.

Well, I've always been very obsessed with the idea of ​​void, I've been to a toxic level, but nowadays I even like to research more about it to understand both the state and learn more about our mind, but anyway, I've always been thinking, how could I revised my previous attempts failed with the void state, because it is reported as pitch black, I would not feel or hear anything, how would I visualize this? And then when Skye shared this doubt in the group, it seems that my mind went PLIM ✨️ and this idea came up!

Step 1:

You will choose simple things that you want to manifest, such as a tablet, eye color, appearance, etc.

(You can also choose an event, or something that has already happened and say it was a success story of the void!

Ex: your sp liked your story

You can say that this happened because it was a "test" success story of the void!!)

Step 2:

You will define a number of attempts that you have tried to enter the void, for example, let's suppose that you want to review that you have tried enter the void only 4 times (it doesn't matter if it was more or less than that, that choice is yours, it's a revision).

Step 3: Now you will revised that in all these attempts that you decided, you were successful, and in each attempt, as a "test" mode you took on One of those desires that I asked you to choose in step 1, and then that's it!

"But angel, how do I revised?"

It's simple my love, you will define your goal, what you want to review, in this case it is the failed attempts to the void, which will now be successful attempts, in this you accept that you have achieved it, and live your life!

But of course, I know there are people who have a hard time just accepting it like that, so here are some fun ways you can use to revision!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Writing;

You can write in a diary, notebook, list, both digital and physical, how your attempts at void went, what you assumed in them, if you want you can even put dates to make it seem more "realistic", and then whenever you need validation, read it!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Visualization;

In this one you will use your imagination, if you are the kind of person who loves to fanficte, prepare the playlist (or not), close your eyes, relax and visualize yourself waking up from all your attempts at success in the void, with everything you manifested in the form of a "test"!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ Affirmation; If you are a more "minimalist" person, then this is for you, create small affirmations, which imply with the attempts to the void, for example "I entered the void as a test and when I woke up from the state there was my brand new iPhone 15 , it really works"!

⊹ ࣪ ˖۶ৎ the original thread!

[wpmz]

saw this thread on twt of all the wild lifers last words and im very normal about how 2/3 of the tuff guys are about being all alone and not having any teammates around. very normal about them always going back to each other and being the last full original team standing despite saying they weren’t really a team and were going to betray each other. very normal about tango accidentally killing bdubs by knocking him off the tower with a wind charge in a direct parallel to tango’s first accidental kill on skizz. very normal about etho, who tried to play on all sides the whole time, not even dying at the hands of someone else but to messing up setting off his own trap. very normal about tango greatly contributing to his own death by messing up his creeper explosion which allowed joel to oneshot him with an arrow. very normal about how the whole time it seemed like their team was going to fall apart and then it didn’t but they all basically ended up dying to each other or at their own hand anyways. very normal. about all of it.

Kairi and Darkness [speculation thread]

!Find the original thread HERE on my twitter! (Sorry if any of the images are absolutely fried, they were all moved from twt since I didn't have them saved on my pc anymore lmao)

In BBS, we are introduced to Terra, Aqua and Ventus as parallels to Riku, Kairi and Sora, respectively. However, as the story of Kingdom Hearts continues to evolve, parallels between Aqua and Sora, Aqua and Riku, Terra and Sora, and Ventus and Kairi, are established as well.

I'd like to focus on the parallels between Ventus and Kairi, because it's possible that a terrible accident from the distant past may end up happening again.

Kairi and Ventus were both forced into a comatose state due to unfortunate circumstances, with someone close to them fighting to restore their hearts. Both are also associated with sleeping princesses.

Neither one of them remember their past, and they experience immense pain when they try to remember, or when they have a flashback.

Both were originally from another world until they were plucked and moved to another by Xehanort. Kairi was taken in by the mayor of Destiny Islands, while Ventus was taken in by Eraqus, the master of the Land of Departure. These worlds become their new homes.

Kairi's heart and Ventus' heart were required to complete the Keyblade of Heart and the X-blade, respectively, which both have the ability to summon Kingdom Hearts. (The Keyblade of Heart summons the door to Kingdom Hearts).

Both are pure hearts of light that were crystallized/frozen by Xehanort in order to "motivate" another Guardian to fight so the Keyblade War would reach its climax. (Literally in the same spot too, oof).

Oh, hey, this looks familiar! (Below, a demonstration of their light dispelling darkness through will alone).

They were both experimented on by Xehanort.

Xehanort used Kairi as a backup, which led to Sora's disappearance, just as he used Ventus to manipulate Terra into succumbing to darkness (which led to Aqua getting trapped in the Realm of Darkness).

Ah, and then there was this callback in ReMind, meaning the parallels between Kairi and Ventus are still relevant and important. Be sure to keep an eye out. 👀

Now, what does this have to do with Darkness? Well, in khux Ventus is depicted as a loner with a longing for friendship and a hidden desire for power. His complicated emotions attracted Darkness, which led to his "possession." (He was controlled like a puppet, more like).

After deciding that waiting wasn't good enough, Kairi got herself caught in the middle of another one of Sora's adventures. Kairi resolved to joining the fight, and openly expressed her irritation with being left behind.

She actively tried to help in any way she could, but it ultimately led to her getting used and destroyed by Xehanort and his many incarnations. We see this cycle eventually come to a point in Melody of Memory.

Kairi literally trembles with rage as she tells Xehanort, "because of you, my fate is at your mercy -- Sora and everyone got hurt because I wasn't strong enough!" But...her guilt, frustration, fear and lack of confidence causes her to get overpowered by illusion Xehanort.

Constantly getting left behind, not being strong enough to keep up with Sora and Riku, repeatedly getting used to endanger and hurt those she cares about, getting taken from her home world only to have her fate toyed with...

Kairi may be a Princess of Heart, but that doesn't mean she's resilient to trauma and the darkness that comes with it. Even Cinderella, another Princess of Heart, attracted the Unversed with her sorrow. If the emotions are real...darkness will respond to it, no matter who it is.

Kairi being a heart of pure light already puts her at risk of encountering darkness, because darkness is drawn to light and vice versa. And with her desire to become powerful enough to fight alongside Sora and Riku...it's just adding more bait to the trap.

"I really want to go with you... But, I can't do it now. I'd be a liability. I'm going to keep training to get more powerful so I can fight alongside you and Sora!"

And...with Melody of Memory's cover referencing the album art Nomura drew with the premise of "something that makes people want to know what's going to happen next, something that expands the imagination" where every keyword in the commands has a meaning...

"And, as one waits for Utada to perform again, there is a double meaning in this content. What happens if she starts to move again?"

It's implying Utada, as a performer, only has partial control of themselves. That, in this "game" they're in, they're at the mercy of the audience. After they're done recharging, what will happen next? Will they break free? (Of course, this is all up to interpretation).

I think Nomura wanted those same feelings to come across with Melody of Memory's cover; Kairi surrounded by memories of everyone smiling - even though, in reality, some of them weren't smiling - while sitting in Sora's empty throne, sleeping. What will happen when she wakes up?

It's rhetorical. We know what happens when she wakes up, but what we don't know is how she'll handle the guilt of seeing everyone so tired and worn out from searching endlessly for Sora for an entire year.

Would she think "if I was more powerful, I could fix everything"? Or maybe "once I'm strong enough, I'll fix it all since it's my fault"? And with her going to train under Aqua, her getting close Ventus is inevitable. It's the perfect set up.

"But she's a Princess of Heart and has a pure heart of light! She can't fall to darkness!" Yeah. You're right. I'm not saying she'll fall to darkness, but the probability of her being used like a puppet is high and not impossible.

What did Darkness say in ReMind again?

"He is too pure. It's because he's so pure that he has many gaps."

Pure...as in "untainted by darkness," and because darkness is half of everything - even people - it leaves those with hearts of pure light full of "holes" that darkness can easily hide in.

Which is exactly what happened to Ventus.

[transformersconfessions]

some western TF fans are really weird and frankly xenophobic (speaking from an asian fan). I've been seeing this one guy on twt getting all angry that people are trying to make 'different' ship names depending on who tops/bottoms ex: megastar vs starmeg. they complain about how "new overseas fans are trying to impose their danmei culture on our fandom" (yes, those are their words. not mine, theirs. although a bit paraphrased). when ship names depending on who tops and bottoms has.... always been a thing? shipping isn't a western-only thing........ and transformers was never exclusively a western franchise. quick, what other company handles transformers besides hasbros? quick, where did the idea of transformers originate from? i'll wait.

and the whole "imposing their culture on our fandom!" is really weird and tone deaf for MANY reasons, but that's beside the point; what I take more irritation is that they screenshot and put on blast and make fun of an Asian artist for setting boundaries (Asian artist saying "I don't do switch content. Do not repost my art and put a different tag.".. and this is a completely reasonable post to make bc some people repost artwork)

I dont wanna explain the whole difference between a ship name depending on t/b for Asian fandom. There's plenty of twitter threads and posts that explain it, and that's not really the point rn.

In the end, it's all about curating what you want to see and don't want to see, isn't it? People are allowed to only like specific content! People are allowed to block others! And that's another thing: people get upset and publicly post about being blocked. If someone blocked you, just move on! Not everyone on the internet wants to interact with you, whether it's what you post, or if your vibes are just not vibing with them. If people block you over a ship or dynamic, so what? There's plenty other people out there you can interact with, surely just because you can't interact with this one specific person doesn't mean it's the end of the world.

Uh where was I with this confession? Right. Western TF fandom is kinda weird.
