UU and uu: If you could assign your counterpart any class/aspect that you want (Not saying 'what would be most appropriate for them', what you personally would *want* them to have) what would you choose? Let's say it won't totally overwrite their personality but it might cause nudges for taking actions 'appropriate' to their new forcibly assigned classpect.

Liberals really act like persecuting individuals for doing things they deem bad is the way to create systemic change while also saying that if we don't treat Kamala Harris like a pathetic mew mew we're destroying democracy. How are they not exausted by the constant mental gymnastics? Why is one individual who actually wields harmful systemic power and hopes to stregnthen and maintain it above abuse, but black and brown and/or trans women are perfect targets because they reblogged horny images you thought were gross?

The Fourth Cat

Role: Sun Troop Missionary (high ranking member/deputy) (official title)

Darktail: has the power to walk in the memories of others. Transfer his own or to delibrately summon them. He can't go in depth like Jayfeather can but can evoke a cat's most traumatising memories to incapacitate them or share his own memories to get information

He is trained by Sol to be his second in command after sensing a 'difference' in the kit. Although careful to protect his own mind he uses this to drip-feed knowledge to his apprentice.

His mother Ruby had faced a lot of rejection in her life. First by the owners who adopted her and her brother Socks. Then by BloodClan's leader when they asked him for sanctuary. Then by Onewhisker, the cat who promised to be her mate. After her death her son Darkkit joins BloodClan, (a morally grey gang of rogues who want to protect themselves from the clans) and is renamed Darktail (BloodClan cats have similar names to clan warriors given to them when apprenticed-aged)

He learns about the clan's way of life through the fragments of memories from his mother and by other BloodClan cats. When he is an apprentice Sol and the Sun Troop spend some time with BloodClan. He learns that Sol was once medicine cat of SkyClan. Sol seeing potiential in the young cat trains him. Upon learning to stregnthen his power Darktail can transfer memories of other cats directly to Sol, allowing him to learn more about the cultures of other groups of cats and their ancestors. He leaves BloodClan to join Sol's group permently.

He stays in ShadowClan with Sol where by walking in the memories of ShadowClan cats memories the Sun Troop learn that the clan feels betrayed by StarClan. The Sun Troop use this to persuade Blackstar to turn his back on his ancestors. Upon realising that his father is the leader if WindClan he is enthuastic to assist Sol in invading WindClan's territory and the MoonStone. He helps cause divisions in WindClan by revealing himself as the illegimate son of Onestar. When the Sun Troop attacks WindClan, Darktail terrorises Onestar before his death through showing Onestar his own memories of being abandoned, revealing the true extent of his anger.

Upon killing his father he jumps into the memories of the nearest cat who tries to protect their leader. Crowfeather.

First thing he sees is Feathertail leaping into a horde of rats during a battle in a gorge. Then to her funeral with Echosong and Leafstar. This is the SkyClan that Sol had refused to tell him much about. Upon securing the Moonstone territory for his leader Darktail and a smaller group dissapears to take down SkyClan. Unable to fully destroy the clan without the support of the Sun Troop he resorts to influencing the clan's younger cats and eventually kitten stealing. Kidnapping Hawkwing's kits and tricking them into believing they are his own.

This may have contributed to Sol's downfall. He knew that Darktail had a power few other cats had but did not realise he was the fourth cat of the "kin of your kin" prophcey about Firestar he learns about from Midnight. Darktail only learns about Sol's defeat when his powers disappear.

forever ago I promised some advice on dealing with binge eating

Hello I’m Oliver, I’m recovering from bulimia. I wouldn't say I've gotten better completely, but I am on the way there. For several months this year I spoke with a dietician, this post is a summary of everything she told me. Disclaimer: I give this advice to you as a person who lives by myself and I do my own shopping.

The main thing is to find things that distract you from binges, and keep trying things even when they "don't work" because a) they may work eventually and b) being able to postpone binges shows you have self control which can be stregnthened through time. Things like walking, chores, games (not TV), reading. Sometimes I hated walking, and sometimes I didn’t. Anhedonia makes finding distractions a real bitch but all I can say is: keep trying. 

Make shopping, cooking, and keeping the kitchen clean as easy as possible for yourself, I've found that this is a real issue, since I'm often reluctant to go outside and struggle with chores. Things like cleaning a dish/countertop immediately after use or taking out the garbage any time you go outside or wearing gloves to make carrying shopping bags easier on your hands.

Look into intuitive eating resources, there's no need to count calories atm because your only goal is to stop binging - don't think about losing weight even if that concerns you. Write down what you eat, the time, and how you were feeling/what you were doing - this is to catch patterns and measure progress. It also reveals that you might actually be hungry because you need energy, which can be solved with a nap instead. Your food diary is essentially a problem solving guide. If you feel ___ what else can help with that?

Make a list of healthy foods from each food group that you like, as eating healthy food you don't enjoy won't get you anywhere. Pair healthy foods with foods you usually eat to ease you into this.

Here's my eating plan for example (note, I say plan and not diet, because after getting used to dealing with cravings this shouldn't feel like a diet, it's normal eating)

9am Breakfast - 70g cheerios and skim milk

11am Snack - Mini chocolate bar, and fruit

1pm Lunch - Chicken salad sandwich, almonds, and yogurt

5pm Dinner - 75g pasta, tuna & sweetcorn

7pm Snack - Toast

That plan is a short version, I have a variety of foods I can swap out for each meal. It’s not Super Healthy but also not the worst diet ever. You can substitute the foods with what you want, and also change the timing, though it's best not to go for more than 3 hours without food because it's key to keep satiated to prevent binges, and you can add an extra snack between lunch and dinner. Set alarms!  Try to make sure you're eating from all 5 food groups (starch, fruit/veg, meat, dairy, fat) especially those with protein and fibre as they'll fill you up.

Other points: you are allowed takeaway! And some soda! Because if you try to stop them cold turkey it will feel like a diet, and you will hate it and stop. I drink 2-3 bottles of 500ml coke a week, and that's ok because before that I was having 1L a day! (I've mostly switched to fanta, which is awesome bc it has half the sugar of coke and no caffeine. Squash and other diet drinks are good substitutes, though of course the best is water.) Same goes for takeaway, aim to only have them once or twice a week depending on how often you eat them. I find one main meal and one appetizer is a good baseline. You're looking for improvement, not perfection.

Stick to your meal times, routine will spike your appetite at appropriate times. But if you do go off time, mention why in your food tracking diary. Mention the things you eat outside of your plan too, though this can be difficult due to shame/guilt. If you write a binge in your food diary, consider that a win :)

If you binge or relapse, try to go back to the plan immediately afterwards, like if you binge at lunch, don't assume the whole day is "wasted" or that you "might as well keep eating". My dietician told me to throw out binge food, and while I baulk at that idea as a penny pincher, no good will come from it being in the house.

Your plan will likely change over time, and that's expected since you'll be learning more about your food habits. I hope this is helpful, I know how it is to have a bunch of AdviceTM thrown at you, but I've genuinely felt this guide helped :)

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers -  Morgana’s Report #2

Sendai Part

Character Development Part

Sendai Rumors

While pursuing the Shibuya incident, the Phantom Thieves are told by public safety police officer Zenkichi Hasegawa that “the police suspect the Phantom Thieves to be the culprits of the bizarre incident,” and so to clear their name, they infiltrate the mysterious other world known as “Jail” and lead the Shibuya case to resolution.

However, incidents where Jail is thought to be involved are occurring not only in Shibuya, but in all over Japan.

In order to resolve the incidents occurring in Japan, the Phantom Thieves begin an RV trip and arrive at Sendai, the city where Date Masamune ruled.

Sendai is famous not only for its Tanabata Festivala, but also for its food culture such as beef tongue and zunda. Recently, light novel author Ango Natsume (voiced by Daisuke Kishio) is extremely popular; wild fans form a crowd at his autograph event and appear bizarrely excited.

On the way, the Phantom Thieves run into a woman named Kuon Ichinose (voiced by Youko Hikasa) at a beef tongue restaurant they stop at. And she gives a passionate speech about how great beef tongue is and then leaves… Who in the world is she?

Meanwhile, the Phantom Thieves arrive at the Sendai Jail. An ominous, fantasy-esque building reminiscent of the Middle Ages stands before them, and there are even shadows that call themselves the Four Devas. The guard shadow is also a formidable foe. This is a Jail where you can never let your guard down.

Develop and Strengthen Each Character

In addition to leveling-up characters, various other growth elements are being prepared. Develop your favorite characters to battle with a greater advantage.

BAND

The Phantom Thieves’ bond strength, called “BAND,” allows you to stregnthen parameters such as HP and attack power, and learn abilities that will prove useful in various situations. By alloting the BAND Points you earn as you progress through the story and by defeating enemies, you will be able to strengthen the Phantom Thieves’ bonds.

Master Arts

“Master Arts” are character-specific actions. As you battle more and more, you will be able to add unique actions to that character. The more you play as one character, the more diverse actions will become possible.

Shop

You can purchase equipment and items at the shop. In addition to shops set up by Sofia, there are also shops in each city, and even possibly some local bargains.

I saw, in one of your metas on snk, that you had made a parallel between Sayaka - Madoka and Eren - Armin. The question is a little vagueness so I understand if you don't want to answer, but could you explore another parallel between snk and pmmm? These are two mangas / anime that I love especially and I found that what you had done last time was very interesting!

Hello anon!

Tbh I don’t remember the post you are talking about and I tried searching my blog, but found nothing, so could you please give me a more precise description of the post?

That said, I can still try to talk about these two series since I like them as well :)

Some time ago I made this post about Madoka Magica I may use as a reference since it is a synthesis of the major themes of the series.

First of all, both PMMM and Shinjeki no Kyojin are set in a world with supernatural creatures which symbolically represent the worst parts of the characters or the parts the characters don’t want to accept.

As it is explained in the post I linked above, each witch the girls fight is a metaphorical representation of a character’s fatal flaw and the twist of the witches actually being magical girls whose soul gems got tainted stregnthens this idea.

Similarly, in snk, titans are seen as the enemies of humanity in the beginning, but it is soon discovered that they are none other than humans which were transformed into monsters.

In short, both witches and titans represent the worst of humanity and this is why the revelation of them actually being humans is firstly suggested through a character with a white and black mentality transforming into one of the so much hated monsters:

Another similarity between pure titans and witches is also that the process is considered impossible to invert. Once a magical girl transforms into a witch she can not be brought back and the same can be said so far for a pure titan who can’t change back into a human unless he eats one of the nine original titans.

All in all the two systems are similar and they are the reason why the characters are stuck in an endless cycle of tragedy.

However, two people are said to possess a power which might change the world.

The Coordinate Eren possesses is said to be the point where all the paths meet. This concept is similar to what Kyubey says about Madoka:

“You are the central point of karmic destiny from many different timelines”.

Kyubey, ep 12

The difference is that Eren’s power is something which was born for unknown reasons and who he has inherited by chance (even if there could be some kind of destiny to it), whereas Madoka’s power is the result of Homura’s attempts to save her.

However, it is important to underline how in both cases the person who has the power is a common individual who ends up with such potential because of the relationships developed with others:

“I wasn’t special at all. It’s just...that I was the son of a special man”.

Eren Jeager, chapter 71

And Madoka is Homura’s friend.

That said, this doesn’t mean that Eren and Madoka don’t have value as individuals, but their value doesn’t lie in their powers, but in who they are.

This is specifically shown in Madoka’s final wish. I am quoting myself from the post above:

The idea of making of one’s lifestyle their own dream is something which has been touched at the beginning of the series. There, Madoka wanted to make of her magical girl style of life her wish, but back then she was still looking at things in a superficial way. As a matter of fact Madoka was trying to solve her self-esteem and self-loathing problems by acquiring magical powers. By the end of the series she doesn’t become a magical girl in order to grow up, but she can become one because she has grown up.

Through her wish Madoka shows to have realized her value as an individual also thanks to Homura’s efforts to protect her and can now use this power she acquired thanks to her friend’s suffering to change the world.

I think (hope) that by the end Eren too will find a way to use the power of the Coordinate to subvert the system he is a slave to and that this way will mirror who Eren is as a person and his love for freedom.

All in all, both Madoka and Eren’s characters are in the beginning presented as willing to be special and they try to reach this objectives by embracing a specific “profession” and nurturing what are superficial attributes (like the physical strength to kill titans or magical powers). However, they ignore that there are people who love them for who they are and who would prefer them to be safe over them being martyrs:

Mikasa and Homura are people who are struggling with grief and loss and who refuse to let go of a person they love for this reason.

Mikasa’s parents’ death resulted in her attaching herself to Eren as a defense mechanism. However, the story is slowly asking her to let go of him and to become more independent.

Similarly, Homura can’t accept Madoka’s death and starts a hopeless journey to prevent it.

Both Homura and Mikasa’s characters find their value in the other person and this is something they both have to overcome in order to find value in themselves.

When it comes to Homura, her later conflict with Madoka which is set up in Rebellion might be similar to the possible one between Eren and Armin which the story seems to be building up in the current arc:

H: “Kaname Madoka, do you treasure this world? Do you consider stability and order more important than desire?”

M: “Well, I…Um…I do treasure it. I guess I do think it’s kind of bad to break the rules because you feel like it”.

H: “I see…Then I suppose one day you will be my enemy as well”.

Homura treasures personal feelings and individual desires over the world, whereas Madoka thinks the other way.

This could be the very root of a conflict between Eren and Armin if it turned out Eren gives more importance to the interests of Paradis and to the well-being of his friends, while Armin treasures the world the most. All in all, it is too soon to say, but we’ll see soon.

Let’s also underline that Eren hiding things from his friends, putting them in a cage to possibly keep them safe and so on are actions which are very similar to what Homura does at the end of Rebellion.

Finally let me underline how Sayaka and Kyouko’s inverted arcs are similar in concept to Historia and Ymir’s ones.

Both couples have a character who superficially appears as too much selfless:

And a character who appears as too much selfish:

However, it is revealed how the apparently selfless character has selfish reasons for her selflessness. To be more specific, Historia’s selflessness is born from a martyr complex, whereas Sayaka’s one is a way to refuse that her wish was animated also by a selfish desire to be recognized by the boy she loves.

At the same time it is revealed how the apparently selfish character used to actually be extremely selfless and became more self-centred because of a tragic experience in their past. As a matter of fact, Ymir’s attempt to protect the people around her ended up turning her into a pure titan, whereas Kyouko’s wish made so that her family was destroyed. Not only that, but both Ymir and Kyouko see in respectively Historia and Sayaka their old selves and want to help them.

However, Historia and Sayaka react differently. On one hand Historia is able to integrate with Ymir and to become more “selfish”. On the other hand Sayaka fails to let go of her rigid vision of the world and ends up dying.

Finally, both Kyouko and Ymir show that their “selfless” selves had not really disappeared and in their final moments sacrifice themselves for someone else claiming to do that without regrests.

These are some of the major parallelisms between the two series I was able to find. The series have some common themes, but also very different ones and are structured differently. However, trying to find how they are similar was fun!

Thank you for the ask!

CONFIDENCE starts with owning all your strengths and vulnerabilities. When you truly accept everything about who you are no one can tear you down. I spent years when i lacked confidence because i was constantly beaten down by others . I soon realised it wasn't my issues they had a problem with infact they weren't happy with themselves so they decided to take it out on me. It was there way of making themselves be better and feel good. I didn't belittle them,i spoke to them with a smile. I opened my heart to their needs for finding ways how they could learn from my character and behaviour to stregnthen their relationship with themselves. I found unbelievable strength in my self that i had all along because i was able yo help them. My confidence grew in time where those people stopped hurting because i took the time to allow my hurt to control me and become anger at them . I chose to be involved and positive and spoke to them about my journey inorder to help their journey and change their behaviours for the better. I chose to be at peace because to me forgiveness is a gift and recieving my forgivness is a reward. The choices we make in life can determine the course of your life. It is down to you to not let others determine on how your going to live. You are in in control and make your life better for you. I am firm believer in breaking the circle and changing tour course of direction by taking a leaf of faith and make the decisions to learn and grow. I am so happy that my Confidence grew because no one can break me infact i will keep learning on how to help those as i am driven and motivated to keep serving God ,using my skills ,passions and always being myself to keep living the life i choose to love and appreciate having.
