#that all intertwine in some way but not thru personal connection

[typho-draws]

mission for summer break shall be drafting up fred and nul stories

[basslinegrave]

i was being a completely sane person today (/s) and was creating a timeline tree for snm would anyone even be interested in that. and collecting my shipping thoughts (or specifics about them being a couple etc). know that i still consider my knowledge of the franchise as poor. its just tidying it up in my head so when i talk about something i can pinpoint a specific thing (i was too deep in fnaf theorizing so now i have to suffer thru a franchise that doesnt even have a canon)

in short/tldr the comics are the base that happened in every possible timeline and everything else is derived from that, happening after, except the cartoon, which shows some events the same way so that would be more intertwined; not everything is connected/within one timeline. and the cartoon is my most fav and where i see them as a true couple.

long rant ahead

on one hand i really like the time travel theory where its like comics -> ttg -> cartoon etc by them travelling back in time for that, however there are many holes especially thinking about their families and stuff so

i like the idea of things branching off. one branch is comics - htr - cartoon, as something more intertwined

second is comics -> ttg -> poker night 2 (since it references ttg events) (idk bout 1 i havent played/seen that)

third would be comics -> ttiv (or comics -> htr -> ttiv, i have no idea atm if bosco's is mentioned in the comics but it is in htr and mentioned in ttiv. ttiv is also set in the year it came out, so theres a huge gap inbetween ttiv and htr but i wouldnt say its where the ttg games happened!)

and i dont mean this in like a multiverse way, since the creator seems to dislike that, its simply just a very loose canon that differs with each installment (simply due to different people working on these imo. nothing too deep imo)

but the juicy part!! i even made brackets that im too lazy to remake digitally so i will just write it out for each bigger installment. im excluding poker night 1 as i havent played it nor watched much gameplay

M = married, BF = best friends (in all technically)

comics: M - unlikely; BF - yes absolutely

htr: M - possible; BF - yes

cartoons: M - i take it as canon here. BF - yes million percent

ttg all seasons: M - no; BF - yes.

poker night 2: M - not sure, implied dating, i take that as good enough; BF - yes

ttiv: M - absolutely not. not a couple at all. BF - they seem too tense, yes, but from my experience playing, their interactions were imo the worst in all of their media, so i wasnt buying it at some points

note - ttiv has to be like the straightest they ever were and i also see it in S.P.'s more recent work. im looking too deep into that, perhaps, but im just thinking were never gonna get anything similar to what we got from back in the 90s again, if theres any future projects

people are also saying they got married like 4 times and its making me a bit confused here. do people mean cartoon, htr dress up card, cake topper and tdph ring scene or am i missing something big?? because to me that is married once, other ones being just for jokes (first one as well but its less vague), and in the ttg games its so extremely vague i cant count that (being realistic here) that said its still fun to joke about them getting married several times, but in this case wouldnt it be more of a marriage per timeline?

and to end this, a personal tierlist

my most fave obviously is the cartoon. not only is it the easiest to work with for me, with the fast pacing and short watch time (but ofc i wish it was longer) i absolutely love how their relationship is depicted there, even if a lot of stuff there is just jokes, but if everything is a joke then its also fine to take everything as canon within this media, to me! like when haters say that people only take the wedding scene out of the intro and ignore the rest - as if the other stuff couldnt happen (isnt one of the shots them fighting a giant octopus, which they end up having an episode about too. like cmon. anything goes here) even if it was contained within this specific part of the franchise, im ok with calling them a couple here. and its S tier overall

another S tier is the comics. nothing else to say

HTR is like A tier to me, only taking off points because its soooo sloooowwww and playing it after watching the series took 3 years off my life immediately. otherwise gud game.

ttg is like A to B tier for me, because of some specifics and preferences but thats just me being nitpicky so, the games overall are good. A- it is. thats all

poker night 2 is fun, i watch the gameplay a lot lately when im too tired at midnight to do anything else, A tier

ttiv. oh how mixed i am about you. gameplay by itself and my first experience with the game - S tier. it made me so giddy more than one time and i kept wanting to come back until i finished the game fully. i dont mind the bugs, its just what i expect in VR games and even tho it made me a bit frustrated at times it wasnt all that bad. its also the only vr game i played for over an hour once and didnt get motion sick - the exception was the level at the store which seemed too bright and actually made me nauseous. which is a feeling that somehow comes back whenever i think about this game. what i dislike was the dialogue, while most of it was fun and fine, i had moments where i just burst out laughing, they (or max especially) were way too mean towards the player. i know its a joke and you could chalk it up to max being unhappy with us/jealous, but it got like, generally unpleasant very quickly. with stuff like good throw - "nice!" bad throw - *neverending insults* and the second was how painfully straight it was and like. the vibes i got from them two was like, oh theyre fed up with each other and my shipping self was just left quite disappointed. i did not get all lines during my gameplay which made it great but upon going thru every line manually after, i was just more and more uncomfortable with what they said in their banter. this drops the game to like C for me? maybe B if i squint. being generous. i also got sick of their talking animations over time... the models are fine just got to be too much. bonus points for max ragdoll physics tho. coming up with a conclusion that this is a completely separate timeline and has nothing to do with anything other than the comics and perhaps HTR. i talked so long about this one cause its the one thing that prompted all of this lol.

but its not that serious! i just knew this franchise for ages as "oh its the two animal guys that are married and its funny" and now that i got into it fully, i see a lot of the shippers are obviously daydreaming and taking things out of context - which is fun, i agree!! i also do that. but it just painted a completely different picture for me. so no. theyre not married, theyre not a couple, except for the cartoon, where its implied, which stays on top for me. but in ttg at least, they love each other, its not as romantic, but i can ship them there (so i ship them in the context of the cartoon and ttg basically)

anyway. nothing is canon for them, everything is canon for them, and everything they say or do is a joke so. its not that deep at all. they gay tho

[dotthings]

And speaking of mirrors, parallels, echoes...TW working in the same vein on that, doubling, or tripling down even, but it's something the mothership did heavily. For one example, as I've been doing an SPN rewatch, I recently got ambushed by standard and solid MOTW “Family Remains” in S4. SPN rhymes. And in fact the writers did look back on old episodes. There’s a connected thematic skein, there's leitmotifs in the writing, that it kept touchstoning, no matter how whackadoodle the plot may get at times.

This post is mostly a Dean character thought post, but you'll see by the end why it winds up in Destiel territory. (And no, not because Dean is all about a ship. This same thing happens with Cas. They both have their own narrative skeins, but they intertwine. While we're safeguarding against broken discourse that refuses to allow them meaning outside of a ship, let's not throw away the actual narrative intertwining that canon did. Characters don't exist in a vacuum, discussing them in relation to each other isn't the same as stripping them of meaning outside of a ship)

DEAN: I'm getting your son back. If it's the last godforsaken thing I do. BRIAN: Why do you care so much? (4.11 Family Remains by Jeremy Carver)

LEE: Ohh. All right. I'll be damned. Why do you care so much, Dean? DEAN: Because someone has to. (15.07 Last Call by Jeremy Adams)

DEAN: I enjoyed it, Sam. They took me off the rack, and I tortured souls, and I liked it. All those years, all that pain. Finally getting to deal some out yourself. I didn't care who they put in front of me. Because that pain I felt, it just slipped away. No matter how many people I save, I can't change that. I can't fill this hole. Not ever. (4.11 Family Remains by Jeremy Carver)

DEAN: …I don't know why I get so angry. I just know – I know that it's – i-it's just always been there. And when things go bad, it just – it comes out. And I can't -- I can't stop it… (15.09 The Trap by Robert Berens)

CASTIEL: I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You're destructive, and you're angry, and you're broken. You're "daddy's blunt instrument." And you think that hate and anger, that's… That's what drives you, that's who you are. It's not. And everyone who knows you see it. Everything you have ever done, the good and the bad, you have done for love. You raised your little brother for love. You fought for this whole world for love. That is who you are. You're the most caring man on Earth. You are the most selfless, loving human being I will ever know. (15.18 Despair by Robert Berens)

The meta writes itself. But there’s a thru-line there on how Dean sees himself. How much he cares. How much he wants to save people. His shame about how he broke under torture, his shame about his own anger. It’s not a condemnation of Dean. It was never a condemnation of Dean. It’s about his own condemnation of himself. The hole he can’t fill. No matter how many people he saves. Why do you care so much. I don’t know why I get so angry. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you.

And Cas saw through it. From the first moments. "You think you don't deserve to be saved." From the beginning he saw the disparity between the person Dean is, and the person Dean thinks he is.

had no idea you like cr !!! what campaign are u on ?? :O got any fav characters ???

honestly the cr fandom like terrifies me (huge amnt of misogyny and general weirdness ive noticed unfortunately) so im a little nervous abt like posting abt it. BUT. i recently finished episode 53 of c2, watched thru like. some of c1? a good chunk of it fs. i definitely enjoy c2 much more tho, i think it's just overall more put together and enjoyable to watch, plus the characters r much more likable to me personally. in c1 i didnt feel like. a huge CONNECTION with any of the characters. didnt get blorbo induced moments. but all the c2 characters have been SO fun for me.... it's hard to pick a favorite honestly. (major spoilers for c2 e26) i really wish molly had lived tho :/ i love cad but i really really wanted to see where molly's story was going. im aware they do more with it later but ugh i wanted to see him go thru all this shit with them bro ......... anyways i dont like that fjord is faking his accent only because i really like travis doing that voice and i dont want it to go away LMAO. big fan of beau and rlly interested in seeing where her shit is going, i think she's more enjoyable for me personally than keyleth was (tho i do love her too) tbh. caleb and nott................. i could write paragraphs im not even gonna get into that rn they drive me bananas bonkers. i love that they're creeps they're weirdos they don't belong. plus the sort of mother/son thing is such an interesting take on that particular type of relationship imo, im glad they started with that. the way their backstories intertwine and connect and they had no idea for such a long time ............... mein gott. also jester is a really fun character and im SUPER interested in her shit w the traveler??? i wanna see what thats all abt. yasha .......... mm. idk. i dont care abt her much ngl. ashley just isnt there enough for me to really get invested; she's basically just an npc at this point. and even when ashley is there (and this may be an unpopular opinion idk) she just never gets as involved as the other folks it seems, likely bc she's way out of practice n not entirely sure what all's happened since the last time she was around. it's a shame bc i think she could be really interesting. anyways those r my thoughts

Warm

Gojo/Reader

Tw: mentions of death, angst, idk what else to add

A/n: I uhm,,, wrote Gojo angst bc it kept proddding at my brain until I wrote it. I didn’t proofread but idc I cannot see thru tears in my eyes.(jk it’s not that bad I’m just sensitive.......)

“Ah merry christmas.” He squatted down, playing with one of the flowers in his hands. “I know you said you didn’t want anymore gifts, but I couldn’t help it, It’s too hard to not spoil you.”

He sat back and rubbed his neck as he was met with silence. The wind whispered against his face and he felt his hairs rise, it started to get windier the longer he sat out there.

He crossed his arms, huddling in as much warmth as possible, “You wouldn’t like this weather. It’s too cold for me and you always forget your sweater.”

The engraving of your name only stared back, hollow and sharp. How could he talk when something so emotionless replaced you.

You always had something to say, or a face to make at him whenever he talked. Something he could stare at for hours, it made his heart leap whenever he could see you smile, or throw a soft hit to his chest whenever he said something cheeky.

He quirked a smile. It was easier to pretend you were listening, like you were actually sitting beside him instead of him talking to this thick piece of cement.

Today wasn’t full of the joy that all of those commercials promised. All he saw were gifts he could have gotten you, and smiles he wouldn’t see again.

The gift giving and holiday cheer went by so slowly, he couldn’t help but torture himself by watching couples hold onto each other as they walked the streets.

———————-

He remembered the last Christmas you had, where the two of you laid together intertwined and jumbled together watching some cheesy Santa movie.

You had gotten a cold, forcing the both of you to stay in and avoid getting you any colder. To make up for the missed opportunity to walk the city, you settled on holding onto him on the couch, half way asleep.

He rubbed your shoulder, pressing a kiss to your temple and smiling when you pointed to your cheek. “One more.”

He complied.

“Another one here too,” you held up your hand to his face.

He grinned, placing a kiss on each knuckle and all over your hand until you laughed. By the time you did his lips were pursed onto your palms, taking them from his lips he leaned down to kiss you.

You wrapped your arms around his body, so full of love for him. Your arms were so lightly placed onto him, if he didn’t see it he wouldn’t have thought you were holding him.

He remembered the way you would pull away and hold your hand out waiting for his to reach yours halfway. Your silent way of saying ‘I love you.’

He connected your hands together, leaning his forehead onto yours, “I love you too.”

—————————

The wind whipped him from the warmth of his memories. A quick, silent reminder the past would only stay in his memories. He couldn’t hold you again, or feel you love him.

He placed the flowers, slipping his hands together the same way you did. “I miss you.” He smiled down at his hands, “This isn’t really the same.”

It was a silly sight, someone holding their own hand when no one was there. Someone talking to themselves, pretending there was a person listening to him. Imagining was the only way he could face the quiet presented to him.

It’s the only way he could distract himself from how cold that stone is compared to your hand. How much smaller your hands were compared to his.

It so unfair. That all of your warmth would be buried deep beneath him. Not listening to a word he said, as he mourned the person who used to be.

It was unfair that your belongings still covered every corner of his house. Your slippers neatly placed by the door, a reminder of you expecting to see another day. You expecting to come back home and sleep one more time.

There were lists of things you wanted to do together filling all kinds of drawers and cabinets, the first time he saw those notes since your passing he shut the drawer and didn’t open it since.

There were too many things you were going to do, so many tedious things he saw that hurt because no one thought you would go. Water bottles half way full, movie lists, unfinished projects you were so excited about.

They all taunted him every time he entered that house, but he didn’t have the strength to throw anything away. He could barley walk past your room without a sharp pain entering his chest.

What hurt was that your death wasn’t something he could control. It had nothing to do with curses, murder, or causes of other’s accidents. Nothing he could blame anyone for, nothing he could put all of his anger onto.

Due to health conditions, your heart stopped. Health conditions. There was nothing to prevent this, no warning just a drop to the floor and a funeral the next week.

It all went by so fast, he was still processing and he couldn’t grasp onto the idea of no one being the cause of your passing. That there was no one to blame.

Here he sat, out in the cold hard air trying to tell you all of the things you would do together some other day.

He swallowed back his tears so thickly he could feel a rumbling in his ears. It was starting to get cold and he still didn’t give you your present.

“Oh, right.” He pulled out a small wrapped gift. “I don’t know why I wrapped it.” He scratched his head.

He tore away at the paper until he revealed a tiny music box, he twisted it letting the keys pop and sort themselves out to play a soft song you always hummed.

“It gets quiet here, so you can play it when you get lonely.”

The keys continued to play as he placed he box next to the flowers. “I bought one for myself too, so don’t worry about when I’m by myself.”

He stood, giving the stone a light pat before placing a small gentle kiss. “I’ll see you later then, Goodnight (Y/n).”

intertwined | pope heyward x reader

request: anonymous asked: hey babe could you write something about pope taking your virginity? like maybe pope has been with one or two other people before but it’s your first time

summary: on your anniversary, you and pope find out what you’ve been missing

warnings: SMUT, cursing

word count: 1.9k

a/n: alright folks, here’s day three! i really loved this request and it helped me incorporate @https-luna and i’s headcanon that pope is godlike when it comes to going down on his girl. enjoy :)

Pope remembered his first time like it was yesterday. It sucked. JJ had set him up with some random touron who thought he was cute, telling the girl that he had yet to lose his virginity. The girl smirked at him, taking his hand and leading him the room in the chateau that JJ had so graciously offered up. Pope had gotten a half hearted blow job then let the girl ride him until he came. It was awkward and unfulfilling, despite the fact that it was his first time being inside someone. It was when the touron (JJ had never told him her name and pope was too awkward to ask) was collecting her clothes that Pope realized he wasn’t like JJ. He couldn’t fuck random girls then move on the next day. He needed a connection, a spark. He wanted to make love, as cheesy as it sounded.

When he met you, he knew he’d found that person.

You were a Kook, introduced to the Pogues by Sarah. Pope had fallen for you almost instantly, his infatuation only growing as you spent the day together on the Pogue. The others were there too, but to pope it felt like it was just the two of you. Conversation flowed like a stream, soft and calm. When John B pulled up to Sarah’s dock to drop you and her off, Pope had stopped you, asking for your number and the possibility of a date that weekend. His grin was indelible when you said yes.

One date turned to two, then three, and it wasn’t long till you were six months strong. JJ had laughed at him, calling Pope pussy whipped for planning such an elaborate and romantic date for something as simple as a six month anniversary. But this was more than just an anniversary. You had discussed it and you were finally ready to give all of yourself to Pope, and he was ready to give you the most perfect night, much better than his own first time.

He’d convinced everyone to leave the Chateau for the night, cleaning up the pig stye to the best of his ability before picking you up. He cooked you dinner, setting the table complete with candles and roses, it was beautifully cheesy. He’d picked up your favorite for dessert, cuddled up on the couch you ate and talked about how unbelievably happy you were. When the dessert was finished and the plates cleaned, Pope took you hand and pulled you towards him, chests pressing together as  he stroked your cheek.

“Are you sure about this?” He asked, face concerned and voice soft. You grinned up at him, pulling him in for a deep kiss.

“I want you, Pope. I’ve never been more sure about anything.”

He grins and pulls you back in, lips moulding together as his arms wrap around your hips, leading you blindly through the Chateau to the spare bedroom. Pope had cleaned, changing the sheets and picking up all the random shit JJ had left in his time there. Now there were candles and soft pillows and your favorite blanket from Pope’s house.

You giggled as he tripped slightly passing through the doorway, not wanting to remove his lips from yours. He laid you back gently onto the mattress hovering over you, lips moving to your neck as his fingers played with he hem of your shirt.

“Can I?” He asked. You nodded and sat up, allowing him to pull the garment over your head. His jaw dropped in awe, taking in the beautiful lace bralette that covered your breasts. Sure, he had seen you in a bikini before, but there was something so beautiful and alluring about the piece of lingerie that made his heart pound and his dick harden.

You worked on the button of your shorts, Pope helping you and pulling them down your legs, revealing a match set of panties. You giggled when Pope groaned, the beautiful sight before him almost too much. Pushing you back down, he resumed the passionate kiss that almost made you lightheaded and dizzy in all the right ways.

His nimble fingers worked their way to your covered breast, massaging the mound through the fabric before pinching your hardened nipple, earning a soft moan from you.

“Does that feel good?” Pope asked, loving that he was the one causing those lewd noises.

“Y-yeah. Keep going. Touch me more.”

Spurred by your words, Pope moved down your body, kissing every inch of skin he came across until he reached the waistband of your panties. Snapping the elastic, he looked up at you with a smile.

“Can I take these off?”

You just nod, the anticipation stealing the voice from your throat. Soft kisses followed the trail of your underwear, stopping at your ankle. Pope moved back up, staring at your soaked entrance with hungry eyes. One hand wraps around your thigh, pushing your legs farther apart, giving him access to your most precious area.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for so long. Are you ready?”

Intertwining your fingers with his, you smiled, eyes wide and needy as you spoke, “I’m ready, Pope, please. I can’t wait any longer.”

Pope didn’t hesitate to give in to your desires. Pope had prepared for this moment, wanting to give you nothing but the best and most pleasurable experience. After a little too much research, Pope felt confident in his movements, and if the moans that left your mouth were any indication, he had every right to be.

He kitten licked your clit, the movements soft and gentle but sent waves of pleasure up your body. He moved his head down, licking a stripe up your folds, tasting your wetness and moaning into your center.

“Fuck yes, Pope, that feels so good.”

He continued his ministrations, tongue moving from your clit to your folds as you started to squirm above him. After a few minutes of tasting you, he brought his fingers into the mix, gathering your wetness on their tips before sinking one into you slowly. Pope gave you time to adjust, but you didn’t need much, Pope’s mouth had left you soaked and ready. He increased the speed of his digit until you begged for him to add another and another.

The sounds filling the room were vulgar. Pope’s fingers squishing in and out of you as he sucked on your clit, moans falling from your lips as you got closer and closer to your climax. The coil in your gut tightened. You bucked your hips to meet his fingers, desperately chasing your release.

“Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, Pope, I’m gonna cum!” You shout. Pope helped you towards your orgasm, fingers increasing their speed as his tongue pressed flat against your clit. You screamed as you clenched around his fingers, juices leaking out of you. Pope lapped them up, fingers slowly leaving you, forcing a whimper from you at the emptiness. He sat up, locking eyes with you as he sucked your wetness from his fingers. The sinful sight before you almost made you come again. You joined him, sitting up to grab at his shirt, yanking it off him before pulling him down with you. One of your hands reached down to push his pants and boxers down, freeing his dick and allowing you to grasp it. Pope moaned against your mouth, the sensation of your hand around him overwhelming.

“I want you, Pope, please, I want to be yours.”

Pope pulled you in for another passionate kiss, throwing all of his love into the single action before moving away to grab a condom from his pants pocket. You took it from his hand and ripped the package open, slowly rolling it onto his dick.

“Fuck, baby, I can’t wait to be inside you,” Pope moaned.

“Then stop waiting.” Your legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him and forcing him to hover over you. His hand rested beside of your head, holding him up as he lined his cock up with your entrance. Meeting your eyes one last time, he placed a sweet kiss on your lips, a stark contrast from the hungry and passion filled movements of earlier.

“I love you,” He whispered. You smiled up at him.

“I love you too,” You replied. He gave you one last look, silently asking for permission. You nod, and he slowly entered you, tip gliding between your already damp folds. You took a deep breath adjusting to the new uncomfortable but wonderful feeling of being filled. Pope was gentle with you, moving slowly and allowing you to adjust until he was balls deep.

“How are you doing?” He asked. You took a deep breath, quickly becoming used to the foreign feeling and needing more.

“Good. Start moving, I’m ready.”

He did as you asked, starting with slow, shallow thrusts. It was wonderful, your eyes squeezed shut as he continued to thrust, one hand wandering your body, taking in every curve.

“Fuck, faster, Pope,” You moaned. The way his name fell from your lips made him groan, his pace increasing significantly. His hand stopped it’s wandering, finding it’’s home on your clit, rubbing soft circles as he thrusted faster and harder. You became a mess beneath him, legs wrapping around his waist and fingers digging into his shoulders as he fucked you.

There had never been a pleasure better than this, and you knew it wouldn’t have been better with anyone else. Sure, sex was great, but if you’d had your first time with anyone but Pope, it wouldn’t have been the same. The pleasure and ecstasy was only enhanced by the love shared between the pair of you. It come through in the kisses and touches and the way Pope chanted your name like a melody.

Pope’s thrusts became sloppy, eyes squeezed shut as he rubbed your clit faster, wanting you to cum once more before he did. His arm wrapped around your thigh, hiking it up higher on his hip, reaching a new spot in you that made your eyes roll in the back of your head. The new position plus his movements on your clit had you seeing stars, your orgasm building up, ready to fall of the edge.

“I’m gonna cum! Fuck, Pope, don’t stop!” You screamed. He thrusts harder, making sure to hit that spot that had you yelling his name. With a shout, you clenched around his dick, orgasm washing over you like a tidal wave. He wasn’t far behind you, the feeling of you cumming around him and the sight of you completely undone pushing him over the edge. His hips slowed as he shot cum into the condom, finally stilling inside of you before pulling out, falling onto his back beside you.

Your arm was  draped over your eyes, chest heaving with adrenaline. You suddenly giggled, turning to gaze up at Pope who had a goofy grin on his face.

“That was amazing,” He said, eyes bright. You traced shapes onto his bare chest before pressing a kiss to it.

“You were amazing,” You muttered, meeting his eyes then his lips for a lazy kiss.

The two of you laid their for a while, coming down from your highs and basking in the love and sex filled air. Pope’s fingers ran through your hair before gently tugging on them, forcing him to look up at you.

“Want to do it again?” He asked. You grinned, rolling over to straddle his waist.

“Do you think JJ will want his room back? I don’t ever want to leave.”

“Fuck JJ,” Pope said before sitting up, wrapping his arms around you and meeting your lips in a fiery kiss. Suffice it to say, JJ didn’t get his room back for a while.

[matoitech]

hello u dont have to answer this if u dont want, but ur situation with gender is scarily similar to where im at except im in the mindset that im nb wlw and dont rlly kno whats going on. I guess if u kno how to explain it, I wanted to ask how u made that jump or how u could tell it isnt just a "womanhood is like that" kind of thing and is actually "i am a guy"

oh man i wish i had smth that would make it Click for u easier cuz i def understand being rly confused abt this kinda thing.. i got a few Thoughts, idk if they will help u out but hopefully they give u some more thoughts to chew on that will maybe help anyway. this got so long oh hell sorry gbfhg

i think like the main thing as like a tip b4 we get in2 the Meat of it is it is good to relax and b open to thinking abt bein a guy as a possibility, i dont know if this will make sense bc i do not know how to explain it rly but when i was struggling 2 figure stuff out what i had rly needed 2 know was that being a dif gender can just feel like You (but as u become more comfortable w it, you but happier!) for some reason i thought u had to meet certain criteria to b ‘allowed’ to make what seemed 2 me at the time a Leap but thats not how it works lol. u as u r right now can b a guy if u want to or r considering it. u dont have to feel different and u dont have to think abt ur body a different way or anything. sry if this part doesnt make sense its difficult for me to verbalize lol

it was hard for me personally bc ppl would b like ‘if u Want to b a dif gender than b one’ but like i said in those last posts, for a long time i genuinely did not know i Wanted to be a guy/was a guy, or whatever. i had no conscious longing about it or anything, that came later once i was more comfortable w accepting it. i didnt have ‘i want to be a boy/am a boy’ moments i can rly consciously remember putting into those words as a kid, cuz i just did not care about gender on that level till i was a teenager. like i cannot stress this enough, ur life and feelings abt gender n whatever do not have to match up with what u have commonly heard the trans experience is about. once u figure stuff out and r more comfortable w urself u may look back and notice things that may b like that common trans experience, but remembering this stuff or having these childhood experiences or whatever in the first place is not a ‘requirement’. like i said, no requirements for bein a dif gender

for me like.. knowing it for sure... making the Jump as it were. like its kinda embarrassing but literally the way i Found Out was i was feeling all sorts of things whenever i watched promare and i just felt this INTENSE longing whenever i saw galo that i later realized was just me rly feeling the Gender w him and being envious of that.. it had happened w other chars b4 growing up, but i had never rly noticed to that extent till now. and one night i was thinking my usual ‘i wish i looked like galo i wish i could be a guy’ maybe for the first time in like a Conscious thought, when i had never rly heard it in words b4, and i kinda stopped and was like. what? i WHAT? and then it clicked and it was like a euphoric moment for me. easily top 5 best 2 ams of my life. it is kind of a hyperspecific experience but it is also not UNCOMMON rly lol

also figuring out my sexuality was intertwined in that bc i was iding as a butch nonbinary lesbian and i had tossed the idea of ‘maybe id b more comfortable as a man’ around a bit but the idea of being a straight man didnt feel right 2 me, but luckily i kind of made the connection of wait im a man and im attracted to men at like the exact same time, it had to b both at once for me personally to figure it out and b happy about it. idk if thats smth going thru ur head at all but it was for me and was part of my Journey i guess and may help to think abt it a bit lol

and while yes its absolutely about what makes u more comfortable at the end of the day, i think it wouldve helped for me to hear ppl say that just bc the idea of being a dif gender (in this case Man) might make u feel confused and maybe even uncomfortable rn, that doesnt necessarily mean u r not one if youve been struggling w this and wondering, it might just mean u havent had that clicky moment and r ready to rly think abt it yet. i have grown much more comfortable w myself over time as ive figured this stuff out and i am still open to figuring out more abt myself and i think thats a good place to b at! just b open to stuff like this that u maybe had never thought would have a positive effect on you or make you happier.

speaking from experience i think if ur confused and maybe even miserable telling urself that womanhood is just like that and u gotta suck it up and get used to feeling uncomfortable and bad, u dont have to live like that! im not saying that ‘oh im actually a guy’ is gonna b what everyone who is struggling w thats answer is cuz obviously thats not true- and im not saying how i just described it is even how u feel- but like. as someone who thought that same thing but less consciously. womanhood does not have to be a confusing sad experience, its not an inherently miserable experience, it is possible it just isnt for you and trying smth else might make u feel better. and that can b rly hard to figure out in the moment, cuz ur Used to feeling like this and even if youve heard it can b different it might b hard to have that ‘oh theyre talking to ME, it can be different for ME not just everyone else’ moment lol

also i dont know if this is relevant to u but im saying it in general 2 anyone who needs it i guess; being a man isnt a bad thing and it doesnt make u an inherently bad person, manhood and masculinity r not inherently or naturally toxic or something. thats a harmful mindset to have for multiple reasons and a whole nother post so im not gonna b like and now a word about transphobic red flags but like, worth mentioning that that can b harmful or dangerous to trans ppl, transmascs and transfems.

my god this got rly long... if anyone else has went thru a similar thing and has anything 2 add, feel free to :0 hope i somehow got around to answering ur question w all the rambling! i am just one guy and my experience may or may not b helpful to hear about, especially bc my memory is not the best lol <3 hope it helped at all tho!

I just saw your Princess/Trinity fusion and it was great! Instantly my mind tried to connect the stories so I thought I’d share with you. It starts with Clark in the little village Smallville in which he does ent fit in (because he’s an alien or idk just plain Belle) and wishes for something more to life. Gaston may apear as like Lex Luthor? Some villain maybe. Then his dad Jonathan Kent disappears and he goes after him. In the way he meets Diana who was raised in an isolated place by Circe(?)

Pt 2:  Sorry to little space: Diana was tased by Circe or some evil godly relative who sees potential in her power and wants to control it. She hates being there and is dying for adventure and to do something actually meaningful and good. Then enters Clark who in his path ends up wherever she is. Then in a Rapunzel fashion she knocks him out and when he wakes up she asks him to let her join his adventure which he agrees. Meanwhile Jon Kent he got stuck in a snowstorm in his way to Gotham

Part 3(sorry I got a little too exited): Prince Bruce Wayne just turned 21 and is now to be crowded the king of Gotham after his parents passing. However he is terrified of this responsibility seeing as he is incapable of keeping his magical ice powers in check going so far as accidentally hurting others. This has made him paranoid and obsessed about self control and discipline. Unfortunately at his coronation day something (idk what yet) happens and he looses control of his powers

Part 4: after loosing control and being exposed he runs away and unknowingly starts an eternal winter in Gotham. He then sings an amazing song about letting go and builds an ice castle so he can be alone and far away from people. Here’s where Jon Kent in the middle of a snowstorm decides to take refugee in a ice castle. Bruce when he realizes there’s a person in the castle panics but decides not to kick him out because of the storm. As for Clark and Diana they are getting to know each other

Part 5: The Amazonian and farmboy got close pretty fast and enjoy each other’s company while they go thru challenges and obstacles during their search. Eventually they reach the ice castle and somehow they end up there while Jon Kent leaves, the both of them eventually managing to unfreeze a frozen heart. Im really not so sure about certain parts yet like they staying in the castle. Maybe instead of Bruce ordering(like the beast in the original) Clark and Diana decide to help and stay? Thought?

HI YES HELLO I ADORE THIS! I love how you managed to intertwine all the fairy tales into one story/adventure!! 

[cruddyborderlandstheories]

So i’ve been looking around for footage of demo players looking at/attacking the purple rocks/crystals/eridium(?) we see around in the gameplay demos. I’m aware of the 2 in the beginning area, one in the area you reclaim with lorelei (the base with rhys’s hologram pad), and the one right before gigamind. trying to find more in case there’s more ~fancy shit~ inside them like the ones on Eden-6.

So far, rn, I have pictures of the e3 eden-6 Moze gameplay and the zane coop Joltzdude gameplay one (the one by gigamind). i'm trying to find a connection between all these things and literally all i’ve got is different colored (??) glowy purple rocks

so not really much to go on.

green

red

Also we get a special tool later on to break said glowy rocks that appears to be a melee override only for that interaction.

if the tool is by a corporation or alien in origin, i don’t know for certain. i like to think it’s atlas because of the color scheme and the triangle shapes, but that might just be because i like atlas (also, anyone else realize it’s possible this may be the one melee weapon the devs said would be in the game? ... aw man...)

It could just be alien in origin though, i don’t know for certain. i could be missing inscriptions or smth since my monitor is bad tm. Given what we know about Eridian weapons though im inclined to say it isn’t... mostly bc the holoblades we see guardians use in bl1 are strictly blue/purplish and the weapons we see them use in tps are always solid (AFAIK).

mmm im also considering zer0′s sword tech as an option, like the whole bit where they’re like ‘monomolecular edge’ and are able to cut straight thru a maliwan wall/shield. that seems a bit too... quick?? like we go thru all this trouble for a single sword upgrade, give it to zer0, then we’re done with it all after gigamind?

like... from a writing perspective we probably could’ve just knocked down the wall to gigamind using a cyclone or explosives or whatever. walked in through the front entrance. i mean we’re Vault Hunters for crying out loud, death and destruction is almost literally our middle names. that’s practically chekov’s monomolecular edge upgrade.... you get the point. the tech could (and should) totally come back into play. 

And i mean we’re probably not actually using Zer0′s sword itself, since that’d be weird for zer0, but the idea that Rhys helps us use that new tech to build a gauntlet to break those rocks? yeah i could get behind that. we know we talk to rhys in person about a vault at one point and we know Zer0 is present when we do. and yeah it could’ve just been a set up to talk to/introduce katagawa, but i don’t see why they can’t do both at once.

and i am wondering if the stuff embedded in the crystals themselves is eridian tech? shards? or something. hear me out, like maybe the color (green, red) is based off planet origin, given eden-6 has the glowing green and promethea has the glowing red. or it could be elementally-based, given what we know about sirens/Vault Monsters. Mostly think they’re eridian because of the rocks/walls we’ve seen in ruins with glowing inscriptions in 1 and 2, and TPS w/ tycho’s ribs/eleseer and the sentinel and even the traveler in tales. Like the sentinel changes color based on element and the traveler changes colors when it goes to teleport.

tycho’s ribs. you can see more crystals here as well.

eleseer and the giant crystal you walk into to enter the Vault.

sentinel changing color based on element

the traveler. tho they’re more crystally than the others, maybe the traveler is more ancient? it seems more sentient, like... it laughs and emotes and stuff so maybe the older Vault Monsters were built off sentient beings (like the Warrior) while the ‘newer’ ones (the Sentinel) are mostly tech? idk, just spitballing here lol

it does lowkey make me wonder if Sirens are meant to be Vault Guardians and that’s why we’ve seen a disproportionate number of them throughout the games. i mean that’d tie into the theory that Siren powers and Vault Monster powers are intertwined, although the only example I have of this is Lilith and the Traveler so... the better theory is the Sirens and the Lost Legion Eternal are intertwined bc that actually makes sense...

anyway magic rocks. we see some of them in tycho’s ribs and a huge one we move thru in eleseer, but the way they vaporize on contact with the new melee weapon in bl3 makes me wonder if it actually is Eridium Eridium or some weird Eridium (not-Eridium?) that isn’t the kind we see on Pandora. Maybe it’s not activated or something, i don’t know. it’s clear somehow refined eridium is still relevant in bl3 despite hyperion not refining it anymore (and the absence of slag) since it’s literally everywhere whenever you kill an enemy, so take that as you will. 

also, it could simply be the tool we use making it vaporize and shit instead of it inherently being like that. tho i don’t understand the reasoning behind vaporizing this very precious material. but im mostly curious why eridium is now suddenly appearing across the planets/galaxy. open first vault on pandora, eridium appears on pandora. open second vault on pandora eridium appears... everywhere else? and we know it was present on elpis before the opening of the warrior vault on pandora, but if that is because of it’s connection to pandora or other reasons, like it’s vault being weird, im not sure. 

furthermore, there could be eridium on promethea because the first vault has been opened. damn you tales for making me uncertain if this was atlas’s doing or Typhon’s! and we see one of typhon’s logs on eden-6, though we’re not allowed to hear what it says yet in the demo, so it’s possible he’s also opened the Vault on eden-6. if it’s him doing the vault openings, anyway. im so curious what the difference is between pandora’s eridium and the purple crystals on the other planets. how come theirs sprouted with cool shit inside and ours didn’t? fuck that maaaaan.

overall, im just very curious as to what’s inside the crystals. there is 100% something there, we’re not breaking them into purple powder for nothing. Moze even says something like “im breaking you out!” when attacking the rock during the gameplay demo so... she must’ve been talking about whatever [the green thing] is inside. we neeeeed it and it’s apparently more important than raw eridium. which is a doozy considering it is (was?) a fairly precious commodity

it would be neat if we were going around collecting the distributed pieces and reassembling them to create a big boy Vault Defender to stop the twins. but i highly doubt it. hear me out. it’s gotta be something important right? so im betting it’s some kind of gear or upgrade for our characters. maybe even some lore. but nothing huge. my reasoning is that it doesn’t appear to be a main quest objective. if anything, it seems like a crew challenge. i thought maybe it could be tannis’s but i thought hers would be the eridian logs (then i realized this is just glorified ECHO logs, so prob not) , or the Typhon Deleon logs. but it’s possible she has more than one.

and imagine someone ignores all the purple crystals throughout their playthrough. i really doubt right before the last mission of the game, they’d be like alright kids, go back and break every single crystal with these glorified brass knuckles for fun times!! because that sounds miserable. odds are they’re introduced in some way, and we get the gauntlet, and then we gotta break a few for a quest or two, then the rest are optional for unique gear/skins or upgrades or lore or smth.

ASK US A QUESTION LIST

It was odd how you can go from being someone's number one fan to slowly becoming acquaintances barely sharing a relationship that was slowly growing cold. The relationship with Ethan was almost identical to the four seasons. There were the days your skin was kissed by the warmth of summer and slowly the days were becoming more and more like the colder season, not winter yet heading in that direction. He was the first boy you had been serious with ever, together for over two beautiful years from the moment you met him at his and Grayson's sixteenth birthday.

It was no one's fault honestly that you had grown apart, but it did suck because you were close to his family and he was to yours. You were hanging on to the remnants of a relationship that was stability and familiarity but how long can you pretend to be in love? When you were falling in love with the brown eyes from the farmers market that sold the best organic smoothies each second Friday of the months? With the boy with a gorgeous smile only adjacent with a faded scar that was years old.

When Ethan brought you to Bryant's birthday party weeks ago, you had bumped into the same guy. He was steadily growing more popular in the film industry with a large following, and he had such as personality you couldn't help but fall for him somewhat. Those little talks at the farmers market from June had steadily grown more important to you with book recommendations and words of wisdom.

Noah was merely a guy who knew exactly what he wanted in life and had a past that helped create the guy he was. He had similar traits to Ethan, but that wasn't what drew you to him. He knew you were in a relationship and didn't cross over the line other than meaningless flirting. He could see how you and Ethan weren't the same as you had been on your social media once he found it back in June.

"Hey!" You grinned at the ridiculously tall man. He gave you a smile that melted your heart while also making you feel guilty.

"Hey." He spoke eyes flitting behind you to the group of guys talking. No doubt about upcoming shoots being planned, "How are you doing?"

"Amazing. I've started my last chapter for my manuscript."

"I meant with the rumours."

The rumours had been long ago shadowed by the rumours of Ethan and Emma from the 'meaningful looks' to the jetski photo. It annoyed you with the comments surrounding it, but you knew that Ethan wouldn't cheat just like he knew you wouldn't. He, however, was watching you interact with Noah and had seen the photos by paparazzi looking for Noah. It saddens him your guys' relationship wasn't what it used to be, and he knew it was time to let you go.

"I feel like it's starting to dwindle down now that Emma was spotted with someone else. I think it was her way of putting some of the talks to sleep without vocally addressing it." You spoke with a small shrug barely meeting Noah's breathtaking eyes.

"Hey man," Noah spoke as a familiar body settled beside you just close enough to show you were together. Noah was flooded with jealously but also the acknowledgement of you being taken, "I'm going to go talk to Bryant. See you guys later."

Ethan and you both watched him join the conversation with Bryant and Gray, "He's a good guy. I'm happy you found him."

"What do you mean E?" You asked confused.

"I can't think of anyone else that would fit beside you. I want you to be happy."

"I am." You sputtered.

"When we got together I was completely in love with you. Over the last few months, we aren't the same." Ethan sighed shoving his hands in his pockets whereas you rested them on the railing of the balcony.

"What happened E? How did we go from being kids in love to this?" You questioned staring out into the fading sunset.

"We grew up. We grew together, and we went separate ways." Ethan replied with a quiet sigh of sadness, "I didn't want to break up because what if it's just a-"

"Season of our love." You interrupted with the smallest tear racing down your cheek.

"But it wasn't."

"It's the end of times for us huh?"

"Not necessarily." Ethan shrugged, "We can be friends. We've been friends almost longer than we've dated. I guess it was a good thing we decided against living together."

"Gray would have hated that." You snorted.

"I'm going to miss your cold ass feet at night." Ethan bumped his hip into yours while you leaned your head against his shoulder.

"This is the most undramatic Ethan I've ever known." You teased as he rolled his eyes at your comment, "I mean wow you're such as an old adult."

"Oh shut up." Ethan laughed loudly, "I guess we just broke up."

"So anti-climatic. Should we stage a fight?"

"Nah. I think you should go talk to him."

"Isn't that awkward though? We just broke up E." You mumbled leaning your head onto your resting arms.

"We emotionally ended things long ago. We just couldn't speak it into existence." Ethan sighed once more as he straightened up, "I'm not joking. You guys are perfect, you have more love and spark then we ever had. I think we were just meant to be fleeting lover-"

"Fleeting? We were together for two years Ethan, that's not fleeting." You piped up unapologetically.

"Way to ruin my mature moment of wisdom."

"My apologies. Please continue." You grinned despite the tinge of sadness coating the atmosphere around each other.

"As I was saying: We were placed in each other's lives to be fleeting lovers to teach each other what a real relationship should be. We taught each other how to balance time together with jobs and projects."

"We had to teach each other how to be adults. What real love is compared to angst-ridden teenage flings."

"I'll always love you."

"Same here E." You breathlessly spoke as it settled in, "Now Emma doesn't have to avoid me."

"There's nothing there."

"That was true when you were in a relationship. We're single Ethan." You ended with a retaliated hip check.

"Gonna miss you," Ethan spoke wrapping his arms around you. It was as if you two had just broken out of your cacoons turning into butterflies. You leaned up to press a lingering kiss on his cheek bathed in a language of goodbye.

With that, you stepped back from the boy that had once held your heart, genuinely until you unknowingly traded each other's hearts back. Only to give them away without realising to other people.

"I'm gonna go." You spoke walking backwards until you were met with the warmth of inside. Ethan stayed silent with a small smile watching as the sun finally set.

You scanned the room speckled with people speaking to each other along with Grayson watching you concerned as you walked away from Ethan. It often made you marvel at how connected they were in emotional. Gray knew what happened even if he didn't know if it was mutual or riddled with pain. Noah watched as you came over to him and Bryant.

"Happy Birthday Bryant." You spoke hugging him close, "I'm gonna head out."

"Is everything okay?" He questioned.

"It's perfect." You smiled staring at Noah. Breaking the gaze you collected your things to leave the place. You were taking in the fresh air outside only tinged with the slight smell summer. A new summer as he walked out behind you.

"Ethan told me to find you. Are you okay? What happened?" Noah asked.

"We broke up." You merely spoke slipping into your jacket while Noah remained silent.

"I'm so sorry. Was it because of us?" Noah questioned concerned. No matter how much he liked you, he couldn't live his life knowing he had broken a couple up.

"No. We've been done for months. We just couldn't end it. You know?" You spoke placing your hand beside his own hand. Pinkies brushing you couldn't help yourself from speaking more, "We fell out of love silently and poetically, and we love other people."

"Oh." Noah hid his grin even if you could feel the happiness radiating off him, "Who's this guy?"

Your hands intertwined, "It all started when I thought I felt winter coming. It all started in a Farmer's Market on a warm summer day."

Wedding Rings And The New Marriage

Bear with me at the same time as I ruminate on a few mind that have filtered into my attention currently. They supply from some unrelated fields of examine however somehow make feel to me. Then it is up to you to decide for yourself if what I say makes experience to you.

Traditionally, wedding jewelry have been worn on the so-named ring finger, either on the left hand or, in a few nations, at the proper. This tradition dates lower back thousands of years to historic Greece and Egypt, wherein it become idea that a vein within the ring finger, known as the vena amoris, the vein of affection, traveled to the heart. It changed into later observed that there has been no such vein but over the centuries, wearing a marriage band at the ring finger had come to be the way to do it and it's nevertheless that way nowadays.

I'd want to recommend that there is any other way to regard the arms' connections to the organs of the body. Looking at the acupuncture meridians in Chinese medication, we see that, in fact, the heart meridian is on the pinky finger! Further, we see that the meridian for the pericardium - the tissue surrounding the heart, seeming to maintain the coronary heart - is at the middle finger. So now we virtually have  hands on every hand that relate without delay to the coronary heart. Interesting.

Image Credit When we keep in mind palmistry (I warned you that I become mixing unrelated fields), we see that there's no finger that corresponds to the coronary heart, which honestly is on the palm across the base of the palms. But the pinky finger represents Mercury and the center finger Jupiter. (The 'ring' finger is the Sun, the index finger is Saturn, and the thumb is Uranus.)

So combining the energies of Mercury and Jupiter, and carrying our wedding ceremony rings on those arms, we in effect can make the declaration that "You are always in my mind" (Mercury - the mind) and "I keep you in the maximum respect, esteem and love" (Jupiter - big things). So I'm fairly satisfied with choosing those fingers as representing the pleasant symbols and our exceptional intentions toward our marriage and our marriage partner.

Now let's play with every other field of study, electricity medicinal drug, which states that the drift of strength through the body enters via the left hand and exits thru the proper hand. (This can be switched for the ones of us who are left-handed, but perhaps no longer. Left-handers want to try to feel this to determine if it holds authentic for them.)

The query then becomes - if I am receiving power via my left hand and giving it out from my right, how do I work that into which finger of which hand I put on my wedding ring on? My common sense indicates the electricity of love that I acquire from my partner is what holds us collectively, just like the pericardium that holds the coronary heart. Therefore, I'd wear a wedding ring on the middle finger of my left hand.

The love that I give to my accomplice could be from my coronary heart meridian on my right hand, or my pinky finger. This suggests that we put on  rings rather than one, representing the giving and receiving of affection between  humans. The circle of existence, the circle of affection.

The final piece of the puzzle comes into my thoughts from the Edgar Cayce readings, wherein it was stated that the energy of gold is "renewing" and the energy of silver is "maintaining." So now I even have a very last preference to make - which ring ought to be silver and which gold? This one might be nice left to every of you to sense for yourselves and what you desire for in marriage.

This additionally brings to thoughts a lifestyle from India, in which arm bands of positive non secular sects have been made from gold, silver and copper (a traditionally Venus metallic, and therefore indicative of affection). All three bands are either fused together or intertwined and worn at the upper arm.

See? You have such a lot of lovely picks about how you may explicit your marriage dedication! Fingers, treasured metals, and flows of power back and forth between you .

Speaking of marriage, it might be time to redefine what is going on with this tradition inside the twenty first Century. Of direction, we are aware about the excessive percentage of divorces, up to 50% in a few regions. So what's up with that?

I think that originally the lifetime dedication become added by means of ancient spiritual leaders as a manner to demonstrate the precept that there's simplest One Relationship that subjects, our dating with God (by way of anything Name we use), and that our dedication to 1 individual is our sample in the world to version, reflecting our devotion to the precept of Oneness. (I sense that this turned into also a patriarchal move to make certain that the female remained devoted, irrespective of what the man did, as history suggests.)

We most effective see strict adherence to the concept of marriage with one individual lasting an entire life in the Western factions. In most other societies and religions, there are both loopholes through which divorce can without problems be acquired or no lifetime circumstance gift at all. Or no monogamy both. The maternally ruled societies had been famous for the woman selecting a companion for as long as she desired, then transferring on to the next one. (Kind of feels like loads of people in recent times, irrespective of what "vows" were taken.)

The truth remains that during this day and age, the unique purpose of demonstrating oneness has quite lots fallen by way of the wayside. Some people are seeking out guarantees and stability to raise a family and have a regular economic supply. Some may additionally have a romantic notion about 'being collectively for all time' but this hardly ever sustains two people via the steeper challenges that lifestyles has a tendency to deliver every now and then.

One element we will recognize is how tough that first yr of being collectively may be. Two humans main two exceptional lives coming collectively beneath one roof 24/7. Whether you see this as a take a look at of love or a signal that the partnership wasn't supposed to be will determine how nicely you weather this preliminary period of big adjustment.

It's no marvel that an increasing number of couples are choosing a living together association to check the power of the connection (and themselves) for a time frame. This rings a bell in my memory of the vintage Celtic lifestyle of hand-fasting, in which a priest or holy person united a couple for the period of one year and sooner or later. After that, they may determine whether to go directly to a longer term marriage or now not.

The most effective issue that saddens me about couples residing together nowadays is that there may be no special or even sacred rite to mark the beginning of what's genuinely quite an crucial turning factor in each people' lives. I'd love to see the hand-fasting rite reintroduced into our Western society, now not to mark the start of some thing non secular always, but to illustrate the significance of the affection connection that has bound two people together. It's one thing for roommates to get collectively for social and economic motives; but a love connection appears to me to deserve a assertion to the world about its specialness that a rite can impart.

An interdisciplinary approach to history. An excellent overview of world history told in am engaging and easy-to-read style.This book is required reading for our homeschooled high-schoolers. In our home school, we take an interdisciplinary approach to teaching the various academic studies, believing that all topics of study are intertwined and connected to each other. This book does the same. It divides human history into segments of discovery: time, earth history, natural history, society and traces the impact that each of these discoveries has on all the areas of human study. Each segment naturally leads chronologically and philosophically into the next segment. Go to Amazon

No Educated Person Should Fail to Read This Book Every few pages is like a stand-alone story, yet all are woven together in the greatest tapestry any author has ever attempted to weave. I learned more from this book than any other I've ever read, and I'm a VERY avid reader. One thing I particularly loved is that, despite its length, and despite the way it grips your interest, it's NOT difficult to put down. That's because it contains SO MANY separate "stories" which are complete in themselves. You can always find a "break point" within a few pages, which will bring the current story to an end, possibly to be further elaborated on later, but nevertheless complete in itself. So the reader is "left hanging" only with a great eagerness to read the next story, not with an unfinished mystery that's frustrating to leave unresolved. Go to Amazon

Root concepts of man's journey to discover Amazing Points and Discussions: Some of the topics seem logical but others are a surprise at first. But with very interesting detail the author goes from one advancement to the next to describe the journey of man to advance knowledge from geography to social topics. Very informative. I wish many of the details had references to further evaluate some of the topics. Very good book for those that wonder, "where did that come from?" Go to Amazon

Good But Too Long The first 70% I found interesting however after a while I just used the book as a sleep aid. In the beginning there were many interesting facts about how tools we use in everyday life were developed. Things like time, hours, seconds were very interesting. These had to begin somewhere and Boorstein made it fascinating. Later on........ Go to Amazon

A wonderful adventure I agree with other reviewers here who say that this book should be used in classes, instead of the boring, stiff and uninformative bricks we are given in school. Boorstin, an erudite man if there is one, has a unique skill to deliver complex stories in a most readable and interesting way, and probably the secret lies in that he gives us the human dimension. His book is centered on the persons who made all these discoveries, not on the discoveries themselves, and that makes it all the more appealing. Go to Amazon

A Must Read I had read this book when it was first published and my memories were very positive but the details of the chapters had faded significantly..so I decided to read it again. I have not been disappointed. Both the subject matter and the writing are superb. For me the text is interesting as well as educational. Reading this book is a pleasurable escape that is impossible to resist. Go to Amazon

Surprisingly enjoyable! We bought this as a gift for a family member at my husband's urging. He's an English professor and I was afraid it might be a bit dense but it is now on my reading list. I'm enjoying it immensely. It is endlessly fascinating and written in a style that flows from the page. It has given me insight into some really basic things, such as time, mankind's history of keeping track of time. That subject alone covers science, culture, the influence of the environment and religion. I've just started reading it and know it isn't a book I'm going to just glide through but I will certainly finish it. As my husband said, it is a liberal arts education in one book. Go to Amazon

Another of Boorstein at his best! I have given multiple copies of this book as gifts - to both adults and teens. Boorstein is one of the great minds of our era so anything he publishes has been well researched and vetted by his staff. You can't go wrong looking behind the curtain of historical events and the influences that brought them about. I wonder if any other mind can fill the place that Boorstein left behind. Go to Amazon
