You and your life have absolutely no meaning; therefore, you are freely entitled to

7. Connection with Others Without Expectations

Relationships can be fulfilling because they’re lived fully in the moment, not because they have to lead to something greater. You may deeply enjoy the company of others without attaching to the idea that relationships need to have some significant, long-term purpose. You are able to experience love, connection, and companionship for the joy they bring, without attaching a sense of importance to them.

yeah the destint fandom ignores everyone who isn't like. one of the Main Few Guys. there's so few fics with ANY of the women it's insane. how is there literally no failsafe content out there. hardly a lick of savathun. ikora and Eris get a Little Bit. six hundred quintillion crow fics though

Yeah, I fuckin noticed!! Literally everything is either Crow or Cayde, and while I know this is because the fandom scene is typically dominated by straight women, hence the notorious effect of Ignore/Sideline Female Characters, I'm still baffled by just how bad it is now that I've actually found a series that has female characters good enough for them to become my blorbos (a rarity). Like, Cayde and Crow are fandom bait, I'm aware, but really?? We have entire expansions and seasons revolving around characters like Eramis, Eris, and Savathun, but there's still fucking nothing with them?? Or, in Eris's case, only for the purpose of Drifteris, where the fans often shoehorn hetero stereotypes onto them both bc they 'fix each other' and openly use racist slurs for Drifter because they think its funny?? As someone who enjoys fandom because I love to pick apart stories and characters and analyze them under a microscope, this is just fucking agonizing. And honestly, I wouldn't even put Ikora in the mix because Ikora/Eris is still extremely niche and half the time people can't even talk about them without throwing Drifter into the mix as well

For me personally, I feel like it sucks even more in Destiny because this is a series that has female characters that actually feel like...well, strong, interesting, compelling characters. Like, this is entirely bias talking here, but Eramis's story arc of a mellow, loving mother becoming the bitter, angry, cutthroat pirate/politician/ruler she is now is a much more interesting personal arc compared to Cayde's, as Cayde's major narrative impact was defined more by how he influenced others and what his absence did to the narrative than who he actually was as a person (sorry Cayde fans, I'm not trying to diss your boy, more pointing out the different character uses here). She's also unique in that she's the one recurring major antagonist we've had who is truly morally grey and working for the good of her people rather than selfishly, but the only time people ever talk about her, its to complain about her and how she's apparently doing all of these crimes that she either a.) never did (attempted genocide against humanity- ????), b.) had no choice in doing (rasputin's death), c.) war crimes (she's got less on her record than what the vanguard did), or d.) she's a hypocrite (she's aware. its a facade. her angry melodrama is a facade guys. YOU'RE FALLING FOR HER MASK).

Like I get that the curse of enjoying morally grey characters is that nobody ever understands them properly and that her being a woman factors into this mess, but the total lack of content makes this even worse somehow. She's not an insignificant character and yet- nothing. It's a fucking travesty honestly and it frustrates me to no end

Whump Prompt #1341

Anon asked:

Prompts for older sibling whumpee + younger sibling caretaker? Younger sibling holds slight grudge against whumpee ("you still remember that?" "how could i forget?!"). The Whumpee is athletic/competitive.

Here's a few:

After much deliberation the younger sibling reluctantly cares for the older whumpee after an injury incurred during a competitive/sided event. Maybe a sibling was part of the wrong crowd and was cooerced into believing the older sibling is the enemy. Still, they don’t fully believe the rumours when they see their sibling bleeding out.

Maybe there’s a flashback of the older always helping the youngest through something, and the youngest always says they’ll help them back. Despite the resentment they may have due to the grudge, they still have a promise to uphold.

^ “So… you’re helping me because I got things off the top shelf for you?” / “You taught me to drive. You put plasters on my cuts and got [childhood bully] to leave me alone.” / “You feel like you have to because I helped you?” / “Because you were my brother.”

The younger sibling, while tending to the whumpee's injury, can't help but bring up past. It’s a low blow considering how awful the whumpee already feels.

The younger sibling begrudgingly assists the whumpee, and uses an odd mix of sarcasm and caring words.

Maybe the older siblings competitive drive had previously overshadowed the younger sibling's achievements, leading to a heart-to-heart conversation about feeling overshadowed and undervalued. Maybe this is why the younger sibling turned to the Bad Guys.

However, while the younger sibling initially resented the older one, they eventually become a source of unwavering support during the whumpees recovery, acknowledging growth and maturity in their older sibling (and vice-versa)

Arcane S2 Act 3 and E9 spoilers

Okay so lots to talk about but I've since settled down a little but wanna bring up some things I don't see talked about enough...

Jinx and Ekko's dance in ep 7 - Ekko saying he was following her lead; following that we have Ekko bringing in the Firelights to follow her lead into the fight - they continue their dance, but they dance together, the way they both know best.

Viktor and Jayce's relationshhip being honestly anything and everything - they defined themselves as lab partners in the beginning but they continue to call themselves simply partners - in this way, it's the ultimate way of saying "it doesn't matter if we're romantic or not, we're two people who find all that we need in each other" it doesn't have to be romantic. It could be platonic, it could be a totally undefined secret third or fifteenth thing. Does it matter? They both had left behind their other 'partners' - Sky and Mel, to be together. A lot of people can call themselves partners - a married/unmarried couple, partners in crime, lab partners, cop partners, a group of cowboys! IT COULD BE ANYTHING AND THAT'S WHY THERE WAS NO KISS AND THAT'S WHY THEY DID IT LIKE THAT! BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP THAT WAS NOT REPRESENTED - THE UNDEFINED! BUT INHERENT TO OUR HUMANITY, UNDERLYING ALL OF VIKTOR'S MONOLOGUING ABOUT LIFE IS THAT WE NEED RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP IT IS (yes I'm referring back to Nier: Automata on this).

Ekko being the one thing different in this universe that ultimately stopped Viktor because he went to a universe that didn't have Hextech, and therefore became the one thing that made the difference?! Hell yeah MY BOY! "Progress" and "development" which ultimately has consequences, but what if there was a world where we did things differently? More carefully (as Heimerdinger said)? What if we developed sustainably and didn't create a world dependent on a technology that ultimately harmed our environment and thus, ourselves as well? It would be what made the difference in the end.

Jinx possibly still being alive but Ekko's still alone??? No Heimerdinger teacher/student relationship, no romance for him, he went back from this utopian happiness knowing he still had people on the other side who needed him, but had to do his duty - and he still does. Sevika is giving Zaun a seat on the council, a vote! But the utopia, while possible, has not been reached. There's so much more work to do.

SEVIKAAAA!!! Joining in the fight last minute! Sevika, that combination of both Silco and Vander's ideals for a free and independent Zaun. She was more of the do-er than the planner and leader, but she looked up to both Vander and Silco, and was the one still left standing who could have learned what was needed to be learned to get that free Zaun. That, and she ended Smeech herself. Chembaron's ain't running the streets, she is. And she's doing it for a free Zaun.

Also - Ekko burning that one paper. I thought it was Jinx but it's likely that Vi or plenty of others put her name in that. But who mourned Heimerdinger? He disappeared, and Ekko was one of the few who knew he was in Zaun, he was still one of the few who knew his fate in the alternate universe too. I think Heimerdinger was on Ekko's paper there.

Also I'm not seeing much of it but that shout out to Singed finally getting his daughter back??? Like, he won't be as much of a problem now bringing random chemicals and drugs in the streets at least.

Mel going to Noxia?! That corvid following her?! I do think the next story will be in Noxia, it's such a good lead in to the rest of this universe. We got that tease regarding Noxian culture, and the threats the Medarda family faced. No doubt there's going to be political turmoil in Ambessa's absence.

Silco and Vander's forgiveness despite everything that happened. Jinx and Caitlyn's forgiveness despite everything that happened!

Piltover finally being the ones to make concessions to the Zaunites by freely opening up their borders again to all Zaunites to come over (yeah they did it as an invite to ask for help, but they did open up. There were no restrictions on asking for help. They finally decided to remove their barriers and let themselves be vulnerable to the Zaunites - a prime time for easy attacks on Piltover as we've seen throughout the season, but worth it in the hopes that they could have the best chance at stopping the Machine Herald and Ambessa.)

The contrast between Loris and Maddie. Maddie a literal spy, pretending to be someone she's not. Loris just being himself, but still being seen as someone else. Both representing these people that Caitlyn and Vi both can't move on from.

Also shout out to that random soldier who got extra screentime and blew up Viktor's sphere when Loris couldn't. I'm sure you got a name and maybe some lore buddy but idk what it is. At the same time, he could be the everyman. Sometimes it could be just anyone who's there in the right place at the right time to make a difference. The important thing is to show up and try.

I'm sure there's more but that's all that's off the top of my head.

COMMENTARY:

My intuition tells me Dr. Don K. Preston amd I share a common epistemologicl paradigm that includes Edgar Cayce I can't explain why I say that any more than I canexplain why I maintain that the author of The Gospel of John is a Virgo, It;s embedded in the cognitive linguistics of the lDr, Preston's analysis and the literatue of the Bible.Edgrar Cayce is not a pivot point ineither of your thinking, but exists in the fabric of our thought

The Bible is a mechanism of the social engineering of the working relationshhip between the Holy Spirit and the Persian astrologers who dispatched the Magi throught the territory west of the boarder with India, All I can tell you for sure is that the astrology and numerology East of Persia is differenct from the astrology and numerology west of India and something happened sometime before the archeology of the Summarian Hand Bags of 5615 BDE that triggered that shift.

The existential, astrological, astronomical, epistimological/phenomienolgical anchor of the Bible is the first verse of the nineteenth chapter of the nineteenth book of the 66 books of the Palestine Bible, This is a reference to the great celestial movement by which time is usually recorded, the Menonic Cycle. The Gospel of John 1:19 - 19"42 uses this to movement to tell time, The Gospel of Mark uses the 12 hour clock of base 60 numerology to tell time, wht might be called Romand Standrd Time, The Synoptic Gospels mirror this clock,

Kuje Dr NikktWirtgebm Dr, Preston seems to have broken through the tyranny of the intelectua glass ceiling of Post Modern Historic Deconstruction, De. Dennis MacDonald and Dr. Robyn Faith Walsh are a cunt hair away from making asimialr break through, but are inhibited by their need to remain popular with the Chapel Hill Campus Crusade for Apostasy of Bart "Giggles" Ehrman and the Jesus Seminar, '

It is important to understand that nineteen is the Alpha and Omega of the trinity of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and that Hebres is the 19th book of the New Testament, and the stoic manifesto of the Christian Fellowship of the Italian Regiment, represented by Cornelius, the Apostels Creed is the stoici summary of the finding of HEbrews, while the Nicene Creed is the Epicurean version, LIke his father, Tertullian was a stoic and objected to the slide into the fuzzy boundaries of the Epicuriean church.

CAROL NEEDED A DISTRACTION. she needed something - anything - to get out of her own head for a little bit and to stop thinking about the fact that monica was here. of course that she was happy about that. of course that she was always going to be happy abut it, but.. it did mean that now, she was going to have to face just how badly she had screwed up. that she was going to have to face what she had done. right? and just how messed up their relationshhip truly was, when all was said and done, at the end of the day. "not camping out. i just.. i need something to do and i'm all out of stuff to hit, so .. figured that i would do something better. i want to sign up. it's.. carol danvers, by the way. captain marvel. I KNEW YOUR SISTER ONCE."

Yelena was battling demons of her own. Natasha was alive, and she had to acclamate to that. Dealing with the pain she'd endured while slipping off the grid completely, mourning Natasha and ten discovering that she was in fact not dead, but alive and well in London, England. It was a lot to deal with, emotional whiplash. "Hey, I know you." Yelena took a step towards the Captain.

"You're Captain Marvel right?" It was strange, one of the most famous avengers and powerful women on earth, or hell, the galaxy was hanging out around the studio. "Did you?" Yelena wasn't surprised, considering they were both mega-heroes. "What do you mean, once? You two have a falling out?" Yelena grinned, cheekily.

The Pros and Cons of Giving a Hall Pass in a Relationship

Alan Alda saying he didn't talk about Hawkeye while playing him because he thought it would make his acting worse is so funny like bestie... you were writing him...

[serialxsocial-a]

Velvet may act like a child. She will be a brat and childish -- but it’s a choice. A choice to act wild and carefree and bratty BECAUSE in life she never got that. She was under strict and borderline abusive parents. She never had a taste of real sort of freedom until AFTER she killed them, and even then it wasn’t exactly lived very long.

Velvet is still an adult. She can be serious, grounded, and absolutely twisted. She doesn’t NEED parents. She doesn’t NEED a parental figure -- Vox and Val aren’t her parents. They aren’t her dads. Mentors? Sure. Role models? Absolutely. But there’s a HUGE difference from father figure and mentor/role model.

Velvet will act like a child but it doesn’t mean she should be seen as one. She’s an adult. She just chooses to act out and she can choose when to not.

@unsctisfied sent a 💙for a relationship starter! randomizer picked rosa & bennett mays & this relationship randomizer made rosa bennett’s would-be protector

rosa didn’t want to think of herself as creepy, but her current behavior was definitely making her fit the bill. she sat comfortably in her car, scrolling through instagram and sipping on a blood bag outside of the house of someone she hardly knew. the two of them had spent time together just a few times, but rosa felt oddly protective of the other. bennett had no idea what she was, and rosa really didn’t know much about her...but she felt an urge to keep her safe. this was why she sat, keeping an ear out for any disturbances in the area, silently shaming herself for being so creepy when...

she heard a crash from inside of the home, her senses immediately alerting her. in less than a second she had jumped out of the car and sprinted inside the home, without so much as a knock on the door...probably breaking her doorknob in the process.

“bennett?” she called out, worry in her tone. “are you okay?”

cool thing about ofmd is that for once the fans who go “wow they’re gay” aren’t treated like people imagining romance where there is none and mocked by folks going “they were just friends !”

it’s fans who go “they were just friends !” who get laughed at
