#that soccer guru answers

[affinitystoryblog]

I suppose I'm wondering about what classes everyone takes? Which electives do they take or what clubs they are in AND THEN which background characters are in those clubs and classes. Who are they. Please tell me about the mundane details of the cast pleasepleaseplease anything

HI!!! this ask has been sitting here for a bit but i really wanted to answer this on desktop, especially considering i have pictures on my computer of actual side characters for stuff like this!!

so, the main cast doesnt have a planned out schedule that i have made, however i can tell you which classes they definitely have and some side characters that i have so far for these classe.

so, sinie and daren are in art club as a side thing! daren has been taking art classes since his freshman year, his passion is art and he dabbles in a little bit of it all. so a lot of his elective classes are art related. sinie also rly likes art, but she's more of a sketching and making-my-own-clothes kind of artist. real shit i should put a sewing machine in sinie's room, its big enough and quite empty compared to everyone else's in my concept art....

here are two characters i have sketched out from art club!

rae has more of a personality written down but emerald i see as a very kind hearted, yet feisty girl with lots of style. she's sassy, but also has very good advice when it comes to detail

csilla, heather, and elise would all be in a cooking class together. csilla because she has neglectful parents and heather and elise for the fact that theyre obsessed with each other and also love cooking hahaha

elise would also be in a hair/cosmetology class. she's obsessed with The Look and fashion and makeup, so she would love to be professionally taught how to basically be a beauty guru haha

sinie is also in track! daren was when they were in middle school, but dropped it in high school to pursue art. sinie also likes to play soccer!

agitha is the head of the student council, and even has her own little posse!

i have an entire scene with them in chapter 3 which is Very fun. i had a lot of fun with it and i cant wait to explore them! oh csilla is also in the student council, recruited by agitha herself. so that means she's gonna be apart of this group too! awkward tho considering agitha and csilla are rivals, yet lbr, csilla would easily win over yumi and alex. (alex puts on a face of stoic-ness but she's actually just a wet cat lmao)

so yeah!! thats rly all i got, i dont rly know what their schedules would look like rn haha but i do wanna design more side characters!

If you’re gonna have discourse, might as well make it a community! 

Some of you may not know what a discourse community is and how it relates to writing while others may easily identify my blog as a prime example. In order to help clarify this subject I will turn to information from the powerpoint presentation, Discourse communities, created by ENC 1101 Professor, Rocio Rodriguez.  

Discourse communities are groups of people who share a common interest and participate in active conversation about that interest. These groups adhere by certain criteria in order to qualify as a discourse community:

Shared interests/goals/values: each discourse community has a topic they discuss, a niche if you will. This can be virtually anything.

Example: Video gamers talking about video games, Sport Professionals talking about sport news, or Farmers talking about plant care.

Intercommunication amongst members: Communication is the most important part of a discourse community. Its members must be able to communicate with each other and that communication is unique to each specific group. It can be formal, informal, spoken, written, drawn or signed as long as there is a conversation happening. Depending on the type of community, one form of communication might be a better choice 

Example: Marine biology discourse communities can have formal conversations about the extinction of a species of fish. Soccer discourse communities may have heated informal arguments about which play is guaranteed to win against an opposing team. 

Ways to be involved: whether it be over text, in person, through video chats, social media ‘lives’ or even group phone calls, there has to be a way to meet with the members of the community. This is where central conversation occurs and is what makes up the ‘discourse’ part of a discourse community. 

Specific genres: While some may be more unique than others, every discourse community has some sort of communication method that is used specifically in relation to their topic of interest. 

Example: Golf discourse communities use score cards to keep track of points during a game, these cards can be used later for conversations about how the player did during the round. LGBTQ+ discourse communities can refer to sexuality manifestos as reference to defining gender identities. 

Specific lexus: In discourse communities there will be language used that is specific to the community. People outside the community may recognize the term but will not understand its meaning in context of the group’s use of it. 

Example: Makeup gurus may say they are getting ready to beat their face when referring to putting on make up but to an outsider of the community that sounds very violent. 

Membership and hierarchies: Similar to normal clubs and interest groups, discourse communities must have a certain number of members, each with a ranging level of experience. In order for there to be a spread of ideas there must be more professional members communicating with novices. If everyone is on the same level of experience, then there would be no learning and conversation could quickly turn into arguments.  

So the big question is: how can discourse communities help you improve your writing? My answer, peer review. Communication is a key part of discourse communities and within that, there is bound to be a shared set of opinions. I recommend finding a writing advice discourse community you can join and ask questions as well as share your own knowledge with others. This is how these communities grow and thrive, with new members learning and educating, adding to the conversation. 

I regularly visit snake discourse communities on Youtube in order to learn more about my own snake. While I am not actively part of the community because I do not contribute to the conversation, I am a silent supporter.

Faulkner knew the source of the trouble: British soccer culture held that star players are born, not made. If you buy into that view, and are told you’ve got immense talent, what’s the point of practice? If anything, training hard would tell you and others that you’re merely good, not great. Faulkner had identified the problem; but to fix it, he needed Dweck’s help.

A 60-year-old academic psychologist might seem an unlikely sports motivation guru. But Dweck’s expertise—and her recent book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success—bear directly on the sort of problem facing the Rovers. Through more than three decades of systematic research, she has been figuring out answers to why some people achieve their potential while equally talented others don’t—why some become Muhammad Ali and others Mike Tyson. The key, she found, isn’t ability; it’s whether you look at ability as something inherent that needs to be demonstrated or as something that can be developed.

For instance, give a customized sports equipment, basketball or baseball bat to your stylish groomsman, a tailored pen or card owner to your office/business guru groomsman, or a tailored duffle bag or cooler to your out-of-doors groomsman. Padraig harrington caddy, Steve Williams, achieves into the gargantuan golf bag and pulls out an eight iron that has been specifcally made to match Tiger's height body weight and move and all those things which he's looking for including loft, distance, baseball control and spin, therefore the capacity to contour his shot.

Hi ! I don’t want to be rude or start an online fight but i wish some uswnt fan / woso journalist give more credit to the Sweden team .

They play really well and i didn’t read a lot of tweets or post praying the Sweden players

Have a nice day !

oh bruh absolutely, the Swedes went out there with a plan and executed it perfectly, and I'm Def not saying they didn't, and they absolutely deserve the credit, they put pressure the right way and did an amazing freaking job, the win is deserved.

What I AM saying is that after months of hearing American journalists calling all competition that wasn't European/Brazil "subpar", this is a soothing balm. I'm not taking anything away from the Swedes and I'm sorry if it came off that way, what I am saying is this is humble pie for the sports casters for being assholes.

THE SWEDES TOOK THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND CAME OUT ON TOP AND THAT IS FREAKING AWESOME BRUH

Julian’s personal hygiene routine: splashing his face 5-7 times and gargling with his famous mint vodka peroxide formula Asra’s personal hygiene routine: sticking his head underwater until he’s awake Portia’s personal hygiene routine: putting her hair in a bun and scrubbing herself with a cloth and bucket down by the frog pond Lucio’s personal hygiene routine: milk and caviar bath every 13 hours Muriel’s personal hygiene routine: standing in the pouring rain

What's everyone's favorite alcoholic drinks?

Just due to mild curiosity what would be the casts favorite musicals? Asra - Legally Blonde: The Musical Nadia - Chicago Julian - Les Mis Muriel - Wicked Portia - Cats! Lucio - Phantom of the Opera / Kinky Boots (it’s a tie)

what cryptid is every character Asra = Chupacabra Julian = Mothman Nadia = Nessie Portia = Loveland Frog Muriel = Bigfoot Lucio = Jersey Devil

how would the game's characters celebrate the MC's birthday with them?? Asra would take them on a long journey without telling them where they were going (but would keep them entertained with riddles) to a scenic oasis, where he would pretend to drown so MC has to dive into the water and at the bottom is a magic flute that can summon a swarm of bees (their favorite!) Nadia would throw a tastefully brief festival in their honor. MC would be lavished with pampering (by professional pamperers) from dawn to dusk and when the clock struck midnight, they would be presented with seven bejeweled eagles (one for every day of the week) Julian would meet them for dinner in a shady tavern, bring them heaping plates of food and offer unsolicited advice for the coming year. About halfway through the meal he would have to scramble out the back door because law enforcement arrived on the scene but he’d put it an order in the kitchen to bring them something for dessert Lucio would declare the day a holiday and call it Day of the Beloved One of Lucio. They would have to sit uncomfortably still while a master artiste painted their portrait and a mile-long line of peasants laid gifts at their feet. Muriel doesn’t celebrate birthdays because time is a human construct Portia would throw a big loud party with a barbecue :D

Since it is soon, what would the characters do for Valentines day with us (the MC)? Nadia would take you on an elegant river cruise stocked with 130 varieties of tiny cake and a private crooner hired to serenade you but she would end up throwing them overboard for not hitting the high notes Asra would take you to the mall and splurge on all the stuff you both can’t afford but wait way too long to get lunch so you get into a fight and he proposes in the food court Julian would show up on the 15th after with all the candy he scored at 75% off, pretend it was on purpose that he got the day wrong, and wake you up at 3 am to come clean because the guilt was eating him alive Muriel would light some scented candles, cook up a sensual meal and throw a bearskin rug in front of the fireplace for you to enjoy alone while he escapes into the woods Portia would pack a picnic of chicken and tortilla chips, take you to the beach where you could splash around until the sun goes down and lull you to sleep on the sandy blanket with her acoustic guitar Lucio would have servants fill your room with floor to ceiling flowers while you sleep and wait impatiently for you to wake up like

Would you roommate with any of the characters? it’s hard to decide, so here are some pros and cons Asra - pro: never home / con: leaves dishes in the sink for weeks Nadia - pro: your home will be spotless / con: it’s spotless because she orders you to clean it for her Julian - pro: medical professional / con: half of your apartment is now this

rate the characters on how #extra they are Muriel: 4/10 Lucio: 13/10 Everyone else: 10/10

Which character could be best described as "tender"?? "Spicy"??? “tender”: Muriel “tender”/“Spicy”: Asra, Portia “Spicy”/”tender”: Julian, Nadia “Spicy”: Lucio

what the favorite Pokemon of all the characters were. Asra - Ekans, Delphox, Espeon Nadia - Noctowl, Gardevoir, Musharna Julian - Absol, Bisharp, Murkrow Portia - Chansey, Politoed, Hoothoot Muriel - Pangoro, Aggron, Wigglytuff Lucio - Houndoom, Pyroar, Skarmory

Blush Blush Wish List: New Boy edition.

If you read my wish lists from my previous posts, I did my first as random and a second one about clothing, which one of the clothing wish is coming true slowly, I decided to make a THIRD wish list, based on the Boy/Man bundle. We knew that there will be a new guy coming, plausibly the phone fling winner Poe, so here’s some dream ideas of mine that inspired me.

I will mark a disclaimer right here and now so please read it:

Any thing I write here is MY opinion, MY fantasy and JUST A THEORY. They are NON-canon, not project proof and they’re just fan fic/pic related to Blush Blush.

If you don’t like them or disagree, that’s OK! we can talk about it in the comments or ask box like big girls.

Without further ado, here are my Manimal ideas:

1. Racoon Thief!

I’m staring off with what I already mention on my first and my personal favorite.

I used to read one of the first few books of Arsene Lupin by Maurice Leblanc a few years back and I also watched the old French TV series from the 70′s. I also used to own a film based of him from 2004? and I love it. There is also a 90′s animated series from YTV called Night Hood.

I also noticed that there was a PS2 game with a couple of sequels and a PSVita remake with all the games in one. If you ever played Sly Cooper, this would be a very nice compliment to a legendary Gentlemen Burglar.

I imagine about how the player was on a detective mission, like Cole’s, and he/she stumbles a burglary scene from a bakery store. Player noticed some crumbs leading to an alley and soon find a well dressed racoon... Speaking some French accent, the Gentlemen racoon would explained that since he’s somehow got in a situation that prevents him to go to his ‘job’ he had no choice but to ‘borrow’ until he’s back to normal. With past experiences, you’d tell him that you can help him revert back if he’d promised to pay all of the goodies he has taken from.

I can imagine a Persona 5 references or Lupin the 3rd Easter egg dialogs.

2. Beauty Guru BF!

BEFORE anyone has to say about Jeffree, I’m gonna say HERE that I’ll understand if you don’t like or support him, this is just a reference and ideas.

Now, my second idea for a next Manimal, it would be a beauty guru BF.

Now I would go for someone between Jeffree Star and Kimora Blac. Someone’s that’s very influential, a bit controversial but not that serious and very honest.

So imagine a scenario when the player decided to take a break from streaming and just surfing on Youtube when they came across a makeup review tutorial with a face of an animal. Any animal. Player then clicked it and the animal said:

“Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel! Today, I woke up, got to a mirror... beyoch... The Panda Team, is crazy!!!”

Somehow the player texted on the comments and then sends some pictures that proves you can help him, so he flew from his private jet to meet you!

If this gets canon, let the team know about Jeffree Star and try not to copy him too much like they did with Markiplier.

3. Fashionista Drag Queen BF!

Following from the previous, another LGBT representative would be the man with good fashion taste, RuPaul!

I thought about how the Player would one day be shopping for new clothes and then notice an animal giving out fashion advices. He does admit he’s sadden cause of his physical state, he can’t dress up whatever he’d normally wear.

He’d also would reference from high brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Guicci, random Italian brands, ect... 

Imagine on his semi or full human form, he’d be wearing RuPaul inspired tuxedos or a dress option DLC. 

4. Royalty Prince charming!

I know that on Phone Fling, we have the self proclaimed Arabian Prince Sascha, but think about an EUROPEAN prince!

Imagine Player was doing gardening and then all of a sudden they heard someone complaining.

“Why are they treating me like I am some pet?! I am a PRINCE!”

You notice the ‘Manimal’ and told them your ‘specialty’ after introducing. “So you’d help your prince from this curse? Should we do true love’s first kiss? Fairly well, but you must prove it!”

This could inspire Disney prince references. ;) You take your pick!

5. Native American Boy.

Before I explain, I just want to say that I respect the Natives and they’re are one of the nicest people, I’m just saying as a character perspective.

If you remembered on my first wish list, I asked for more diversities so here’s one of them!

Player was walking in the nature park and decided to take a rest on a table park when they noticed some thrash that some human dumpster fire was too lazy to put it in the thrash so you did. All of a sudden you head someone said thank you. You turned to see the Manimal in question. “It is so nice of you to think conscious about our home environment when you knew you weren’t the one who done it. May the Great Spirits looks on you.”

I kinda lean towards the Eagle or a Bear cause the Wolf is already taken.

I think it would be a nice reminder for a dialog to us about the environment once in a while and also Disney’s Brother Bear.

6. Frank Sinatra the 2nd! Old school but cool!

THIS is probably one of an interesting idea about an ‘old’ soul. It’s kinda like Myx but classier. Swag are for boys, Class are for men.

Remember the Old Looney Tune cartoons? Remember that character Tweety Bird? Yeah, I go with a canary or maybe a yellow-crested cockatoo with this number.

Imagine Player decided to play a mainstream music from their room, when after about a minute in, you hear someone screaming from next door.

“WILL YOU TURN THAT OFF-TUNE BLIP BLOP?! I’M TRYING TO REGAIN MY SINGING SWING!” 

At first you thought it was probably you neighbor, but come to find out, it was a talking bird in a cage. You asked him and he answered. “I just moved in from my relatives and now I’m stuck with feathers instead of a classic bow tie. You said you had experience with this?”

This Manimal would be one of those nerds with bowties and sweaters on shoulder prep boy. He’s more like Frank Sinatra (Pic 1 and 2 with Elvis), Dean Martin or Sammy David Jr. A bit more old fashioned but about the same age as college kids.

Imagine the dialogs would be more like Tweety birds whenever Cole is change in between and had comedy accidents like the cartoons to prevent being his next un-cook chicken nugget!

7. Ancient temple guardian!

If anyone had played Crush Crush, you know about the Suzu bundle in the shop. She’s a white fox spirt that the player had accidentally broke the statue.

Now imagine the same thing, but this time you notice that one of these statues are not the same cause they don’t breathe.

8. Marine surfer/oceanic enthusiast!

Remember when I said there’s no Marine Animals (Yet?) If they do, I hope to see a hot guy who was turned into one while I was just looking at the waves.

Imagine Little Mermaid in a gender swap perspective. He wants to learn about the ocean like Jacque Cousteau and sometimes collects sea shells or old object from the 18th centuries that was from sunken ships.

9. German Soccer coach!

Remember when the German won the soccer tournament from Brazil by 7-1 a few years ago? Now imagine someone from that country that’s the new soccer/football coach for your team.

Player wanted to try a new sport so they go for it, but noticed the coach is a big German Shepperd. He’s Strict, Disciplined and very Passionate.

We need a good doggo for 2021!

10. Eastern Master Chef

I think I saved a nice one for last, but my random card tells me that we need a chef in that game. CC have Bonnibel, we have a Michelin star chef!

I thought about an old school 90′s Iron Chef stars like Chef Hiroyuki Sakai and Chen Kenichi. But this one is from China, where they eat anything with four legs except tables and anything that flies except planes.

Honorary mentions of Gordon Ramsey in the dialogs but he’s too nice and... I want to see someone else besides him.

AND THAT IS IT!!

That’s all I have for Manimal ideas for now. Do you like any of them? Do you have any other ideas? Please tell me of what you think!

[spirallingintotheabyss]

Hey, I saw a post you reblogged a while back about Asian rep in books? And I'm writing a book that has an Asian character who's very artistic (really smart too) and is lgbt+. I just wanted to ask for your advice on how to avoid cliches and if you have some good examples of representation in books or shows? I'm not Asian and I'd really like to get it right :) Thanks in advance, and, of course, feel free not to answer if I'm being rude.

Ok, first you need to know which country they're from. Different parts of Asia are vastly different and while some stereotypes are shared, a lot if the time the cliches and stereotypes are different. I can't stress this enough- research their culture. Their religion. Are they very religious or not that religion? Are they an atheist?

Do they live in the country they're from or somewhere else? Do they have family who live near by (grandparents. For example, if their whole family are from, let's say, Pakistan, but they live in America with parents, how often do they visit?) They're likely to own traditional clothes for gatherings too, but if they live in America, for many people's, they're not going to be wearing traditional clothes all the time.

With racism,it would be great to have a story with none, but since that's unrealistic, I'll add some smaller forms (it's not all sl*rs). Remember,a lot of people have internalised racism and don't mean it! They don't mean to be racist, but they are,and they're in the wrong.

Teachers. They can be less likely to pick you when they ask for ideas. They put you in groups with/ beside the other Asian people in your class (not as bad, just annoying). There are 2 of us in my class,me and N. We look completely different, hair, clothes, face, even shoes. Yet I've been called N a lot, and the same has happened to her. By teachers who have known us for years. It's horrible. Once, she was getting picked on by some bullies and the teacher joined in. He was a horrible teacher as well though and got fired for something else. If someone white and someone who's Asian (any minority really) get in a fight, the white person is more likely to be seen as the victim. In shops, some people assume I'm shoplifting when clearly I was putting my phone back in my purse.

Sports teams. I was actually pretty good at netball, but there apparently could only be 2 of (my position) and I was the one who had to go, the others were white. And despite there being many also playing the position with only 2 positions in game. Also,I was barely ever chosen for games, while the white girl who messed up a lot (she was alright though) was always chosen. Once, during soccer, there were quite a few of us at a game. Coach promised to let everyone play at least 5 minutes. Despite me reminding him many times, I never got to play. I was the only Asian there too. I had stood in the light rain, cold and wind for hours to play. I could have spent that on something I enjoyed. I quit shortly after.

School bullies. They exist. Normally though, it's not because you're Asian,it's because [insert thing that white friends never gets any trouble for]. Also, friends can be unintentionally racist (one is nice to everyone,but constantly made fun of me, the other Asian girl and one Muslim friend). Someone tried to be racist towards me by doing a mocking thing but she got the wrong religion. I have been called chocolate girl too. That was when I was 9.

Sorry about the long paragraphs, this is me personally, but others may share similar experiences.

You also want to avoid them being the best at maths and science too. It's overdone,and there are many types of smart. Street smart or people smart would complete go against stereotypes, while keeping your character smart. Or they could be a history nerd too. Just no maths and science (they can be good at those, but avoid them being the best at those.)

I don't know if this will change your story, but having supportive parents who don't force them to be a doctor will works (it's a massive stereotype). Instead of making them strict, you could have them be chill,if they're in your story at all!

Ask someone from the country your character is from/ if it's in a different world, where the country is based of (sorry for the wording) to be a sensitivity reader. Make sure they from the same place if you can, as I, a south Asian person, can't tell you what's good rep for a Korean person.

Again, make sure you know exactly which country they're from. You can't just keep Asian and leave if at that. And again,do a lot of research, (the questions I gave you are just starter). You could also research myths, because they're cool (keeping in mind the not very religious child born somewhere else with not very religious parents will probably not know a lot about their religion compared to a very religious person born in their country with very religious parents)

One cool thing is I at least, have never been sunburned, despite never wearing sunscreen. It's cool.

This is probably too long, but you can ask me more too! And if you do and know a little more about your character, then I can probably give you more tips!

Some good reputation I've seen:

Inej (six of Crows)

Most people in ATLA (not Guru Pathik. Avoid a character like him. Please)

Melinda May? (I've only seen 2 episodes and I'm a different nationality so I'm not sure) (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D)

I don't know many characters, sorry! (I've but read/watched enough to tell you!)

Mutuals feel free to add tips/ corrections, and add good Asian rep! Anon,if they do,you can save this to your drafts and check the notes occasionally)

Milarepa Birthday

༄༅། །རྗེ་བཙུན་མི་ལ་རས་པ་ལ་བསྟོད་པ།

Homage to Milarepa

by Nāropa

 བྱང་ཕྱོགས་མུན་པའི་སྨག་རུམ་ན། །

jangchok münpé makrum na

In the darkness of the lands to the North

གངས་ལ་ཉི་མ་ཤར་འདྲ་བའི། །

gang la nyima shar drawé

Is one just like a snow-capped peak in the rising sun,

ཐོས་པ་དགའ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཡི། །

töpa ga shyé jawa yi

He who is known as Töpa Ga, 'Joyous to Hear,'

སྐྱེས་བུ་དེ་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ། །

kyebu dé la chaktsal lo

To that great being, I pay homage!

 Nāropa spontaneously sang this praise to Milarepa.

Very special day today for me not just the day of the birthday of the greatest lama of the kagyu, I am heavy related to him. In my dark time I was praying to bring my lama and found Garchen Rinpoche. In my light moments is always part of my yogi practice I don't start my practice without singing something for Mila.

Milarepa learn us that affairs of the world carries forever we must let go of them and everything that hold us practice Dharma.

He learn us that samsara is like rose that smell very good but we got many torns on it, his life when he pass from very ritch to become a slave for his uncle and aunt. Help by his mother he became highly skilled soccer and kill peoples because he suffered and his family suffered from them.

To his seek of dharma his devotion to Marpa even if he suffered from years to just receive refuges vows.

The world knows caterpillar becomes butterfly but they don’t care that it also becomes a moth. One is diurnal another nocturnal.Human once awakened can change the view to change self from Angulimala to a Buddha

Milarepa, The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa

Today we complain that we must do ngandro and preliminaries practice to get there but we forgot that Milarepa as to build towers and destroying them to rebuild them again was his ngandro. When after years we reach the Tantric and that yes the new start of the path we must remember his teaching we don’t know when time of death come there for we must hurry and practice no matter what.

When ye look at me I am an idle, idle man; when I look at myself I am a busy, busy man. Since upon the plain of uncreated infinity I am building, building the tower of ecstasy, I have no time for building houses. Since upon the steppe of the void of truth I am breaking, breaking the savage fetter of suffering, I have no time for ploughing family land. Since at the bourn of unity ineffable I am subduing, subduing the demon-foe of self, I have no time for subduing angry foe-men. Since in the palace of mind which transcends duality I am waiting, waiting for spiritual experience as my bride, I have no time for setting up house. Since in the circle of the Buddhas of my body I am fostering, fostering the child of wisdom, I have no time for fostering snivelling children. Since in the frame of the body, the seat of all delight, I am saving, saving precious instruction and reflection, I have no time for saving wordly wealth.

Milarepa, Songs of Milarepa

Milarepa teach us also that without bodhichitta we don’t go no where, that we must meditate years and years without given up.

Renouncing to this world take the lowest place to gain the highest one.

One day, Milarepa was staying in a cave, alone. Two visitors arrived and began to question him.

“Are you all alone?” “Aren’t you lonely?”

“I have always lived with someone. Never alone,” he replied.

“But who?” asked the younger one.

“With my bodhichitta.”

“Where is he?”

“In the house of my consciousness.”

“What kind of house is that?” the older guest enquired.

“It is my own body.”

The man thought Milarepa was mocking. He said to his young companion, “Let us leave, this is a waste of our time – he’s just being sarcastic.” The young man answered, “No, maybe we can learn something here.” He turned again to Milarepa.

“Would you say the consciousness is the mind and the body the house?”

“Yes, that is exactly what I mean,” Milarepa replied.

“In an ordinary house, many can stay – but how many different minds can stay in a body?”

“Generally, only one mind. But tonight, look for more in your own body in your meditation,” said Milarepa. The visitors agreed, and departed for home. The younger of the two meditated that night and ran back early the next day to see Milarepa.

“Oh Guru! Last night I meditated and, as you say, it is one mind. But there is something strange about it…. I cannot describe the shape, or color, or anything of this mind. If I run after it, I cannot catch it. If I want to kill it, it will not die. The faster I run, the faster it runs. It is impossible to find. When I imagine I have caught it, I cannot step on it. If I attempt to keep it in one place, it does not stay. If I let go, it will not move. If I try to gather it together, it will not collect. If I try to see its nature, it refuses to be seen. So, I am confused about what it is. I do not know its nature, but I cannot deny it is there. Please, give me an introduction to mind.”

“Do not expect me to taste sugar for you!” Milarepa said. “The taste of brown sugar cannot be seen by eyes, nor heard by ears. You must meditate and find it for yourself. Remember, the mind is not as someone describes it. These are just superficial clues. The mind can never be described. With clues received from others, just observe it for yourself. It can be seen only by your own awareness.” The young man requested more teachings.

“That is useless, Milarepa said. “Go home, and come back tomorrow and report the color and shape of your mind, and whether it resides in your head or in the tip of your toes.” The following dawn the young man came back again.

“Have you examined your mind?” Milarepa asked.

“Yes I have.” The youth reflected, thoughtfully. “Mind is a moving thing – its nature is movement. Its basic entity is a very clear and transparent one. Mind cannot be described by any color or shape – recognition of mind by means of color or shape is impossible. By using sensory doors, such as eyes, the mind sees forms. Through sensory doors, such as ears, the mind hears sounds. By means of sensory doors, such as nose, the mind smells odors. With the tongue, the mind tastes. Using the legs, the mind walks. It is the mind that stirs up everything. The mind that gossips. The mind that causes disagreements. The mind that brings about results.”

“You have been able to observe the conventional aspect of the mind,” Milarepa told him. “Through this conventional mind, we accumulate negative potential and thus we wander through samsara. You have sufficiently understood the conventional mind. Now, with this realization, if you wish me to lead you to the City of Liberation, then I will.”

So the disciple accepted Milarepa as his Guru. Many days later, Milarepa asked him his name. His name was Upasaka Sanggyay-kyab, just sixteen years old. Then Milarepa gave his new disciple his first teaching on safe direction (refuge).

“From tonight onward, never break your close bond of taking safe direction from the Three Precious Gems. Tonight, meditate on observing whether it is the mind that protects and is helpful to you, or whether it is the body.” The next day, the disciple reported that it did not seem to be the body.

Milarepa was skilfully guiding him into meditation on voidness and identitylessness, but without ever mentioning voidness, or making a big thing out of it. To tell his disciple, only after doing this meditation and gaining experience, that this was voidness, and not beforehand, is an effective method. By being asked whether it is the body or the mind that protects, a person is compelled to examine deeply. Someone can feel well physically, but mentally they can be confused and upset. It is the mind that gives protection in this and future lives.

These, then, are the different ways in which Milarepa taught and led people, through meditation on identitylessness, to the true nature of the mind.

Different takes on Pokémon design - Sugimori Vs Turner

Aka: me writing down my opinion on why Gen8 art style seems to differ so much from previous gens. Yes, I am critical of Turner’s style but this essay is not meant in any way to claim that you’re supposed to despise it. It’s just a series of observations from my part based on two quotes Sugimori and Turner gave about coming up with a Pokémon design.

---------

I found a short interview from circa 2007 where Ken Sugimori states what elements, in his opinion, make a Pokémon and I think his answer, compared to James Turner’s in the video that was released during the SWSH campaign, says a lot about how different the gen8 style is compared to what we had so far, and why many people feel uncomfortable with this shift.

Sugimori said that «lovely, creepy and a bit charming» are the «three main elements of Pokémon [as creatures]». 

On the other hand, Turner claims that while coming up with a design, what he always keeps in mind is that a Pokémon must be a creature «you could be friends with». 

I think this completely changes the purpose of Pokémon and it reflects in the designs they would come up with or approve as Art Directors. 

Sugimori’s main concern when creating a Pokémon is how that creature would exist. What he puts a focus on is the sense of discovery that should come with finding a new Pokémon, you should feel charmed and intimidated by it as if you just saw a weird animal in the wild you had never known about. This is true to the sentiment Pokémon was born with, as wild creatures trainers would manage to tame and become friends with. The focus is on Pokémon as unknown and fascinating creatures rather than companions for humans. That aspect only comes later into the frame as Pokémon can exist independently from humans, too.

On the other hand, what Turner seems to put the most focus in is how the creature would interact as a friend with humans. This means that he perceives the human-creature relationship as more important than the creature existing in the wild on its own when thinking about what a Pokémon is. 

This is visible in many of gen8 Pokémon designs, especially the starters’ final evos. They are anthropomorphic because Turner’s main concern is to make them visually friendly, and in order to achieve this feeling, he makes them familiar by giving them traits that are specifically linked to the human realm. It’s hard to imagine Inteleon or Cinderace living in the wild because they are inherently human in their essence. They are not simply spy/soccer-inspired, they are literally a spy and a soccer player. They work no longer as wild creatures but, rather, as Turner said, as familiar creatures ‘you’d be easily friends with’ because they look like you in a more or less symbolic way. Of course this applies a bit less to Rillaboom as it’s a gorilla, but even in that case you can definitely see the shift if you compare it with any ape-inspired Pokémon we had in the past. Take Oranguru and Passimian, for instance:

Passimian is a rugby player and Oranguru is a shaman/guru. Rillaboom is a drummer. All three are apes combined with a human profession. Yet, there’s something crucial that makes their design apart: Passimian’s ball and helmet are made out of something visibly natural, what the Pokédex describes as “hard berries”, which are a sort of coconut variant. Oranguru has a shawn made of its own fur and a fan made up of leaves and, again, its own purple fur. In both cases, the 100% natural origin of Passimian and Oranguru’s items is very clear. 

On the other hand, despite the Pokédex claiming that Rillaboom’s drum is simply a “special tree stump”, it is absolutely clear that it’s not something you’d find in nature shaped that way (it even has a green circle where a drum brand sticker would go!). Same for the sticks it uses to play it, which look exactly the same as the ones created by humans. Turner doesn’t even try to make it credible in a 100% wild habitat because imagining Pokémon living on their own as wild creatures is simply not his concern, not the No.1 Rule in his book. He values familiarity over credibility. I don’t think Rillaboom’s case is as bad as Inteleon and Cinderace when it comes to imagining it as a wild creatures far from humans, but its comparison with previous apes brings this difference to light much better because we had Pokémon with a similar inspiration before, imo. 

Moving on to another Gen8 Pokémon that show Turner’s different focus compared to Sugimori’s, we have Appletun. 

This is indeed a Pokémon you’d be friends with. Look at it, it makes me want to have apple pie :Q~ ... But again, how would this thing live in nature? The Pokédex does a very good job at making it credible as a wild creature, but the design doesn’t hold up to it. That’s literally an apple pie shaped Pokémon. It just ... That’s it. That’s an apple pie. I have a very hard time imagining it simply existing like this. It isn’t a credible wild creature. The way its eyes work is cute but very impractical for a wild creature and the Pokédex doesn’t give any reason why it’d be useful for it to have such weird eyes (it’d be reasonable if the eyes were constantly open so they fold this way when it sleeps or stuff like that but it does have eyelids too so?? Why???). Don’t get me wrong, I actually like it as a creature but it just leaves me puzzled as a Pokémon because, again, you can see that delivering a credible wild creature is not Turner’s main concern and it is inherently anthropomorphic in the sense that the thing on its back not only looks like an apple pie but it is an apple pie (the Pokédex states that kids eat the skin on its back because that’s literally apple pie crust). 

As a design, I guess it could be put in comparison with Tropius, but Tropius feels much more credible as a wild creature because fruit is natural, apple pie isn’t. Tropius is just a dinosaur that happens to grow edible fruits on its neck. On the other hand, making a handmade food like apple pie the essence of a Pokémon design makes it feel pretty weak as a wild creature because it’s hard to imagine something so strikingly similar to a human product existing as a separate thing from the human world. It works with Pokémon like Polteageist because they are spirits that happen to inhabit items that humans produce, but it cannot work as well with animal-inspired Pokémon such as Appletun, because those are supposed to exist independently from humans. 

I’d have more to say about Gen8 designs taken singularly but you get my point already. Turner’s Pokémon mainly gather and refer to humans, while Sugimori’s Pokémon gather first to nature and then to humans. Of course, there are some Gen8 Pokémon that stay loyal to the concept expressed by Sugimori (for instance Frosmoth, Cramorant, and the aforementioned Polteageist) and some pre-Gen8 creatures whose concept seems closer to Turner’s take (ie Incineroar or Tsareena), but the ratio in which these two cases appear reversed, as now many more Pokémon seem more fit as human companions and much less as creatures of their own.

Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? It really depends on your tastes and your own opinion on what a Pokémon should be, but it’s undeniable that Turner is not Sugimori, they are two different people with a pretty different take on the subject and there is a visual difference in how gen8 generally looks compared to previous ones. It’s no crime to point it out. No, it’s not just fans being whiny and hateful, there is a very real explanation for this which I hope I managed to bring to light in this post.

Love Letters To My Professor - Just A Little Fun

PAIRING: Sam Winchester x Reader, Dean Winchester x reader

WORD COUNT: 2k

WARNINGS: Language, underage drinking, attempted rape, gets a little sexual

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Please head the warnings! Things are about to get dark! Also, ignore the snake in the GIF, and pretend Dean is you lol

After you'd gotten your uniforms, you and Genevieve left to go to history together. You both had the same class which you were okay with that.

Mrs. Levi was the name of the teacher. She had firey red hair and crystal blue eyes.  She wore a dress that pushed up her boobs to show the max amount of cleavage and make her boobs seem bigger. Every male student she thought was cute she'd personally deliver a syllabus to them, bending over so they got a good look. Of course, they didn’t seem to mind all that much.

She was beautiful, you couldn't deny that but the way she acted got under your skin. You were sure everyone else noticed the way she acted. It wasn't like she was trying to hide it.

"Hey, so there's gonna be a party for one of the fraternities. I was gonna go, you should come to." Genevieve nudged you, cutting you from your thoughts.

You grunted, "Gen I don't do parties. That's not why I came to college."

She stuck out her lower lip, giving you puppy dog eyes, "Please? I'll be there with you!" With that look it made it hard to say no to her. It's true, you didn't come here to party but you were 20, what's the worst that could happen?

"Fine. But I'm not staying there very long."

She squealed, earning some glares from other students, "All I need is an hour."

An hour. That's all she needed. You chuckled to yourself. Man this girl was gonna be the death of you.

••••

Later that night you sat in your dorm getting ready for the party. It most likely wasn't anything fancy so you stuck with a (F/C) crop top and black leggings that had parts that were see through in the front from mesh and black vans that would be comfortable enough for the hour that you stayed.

It was now almost 10 pm and the party would start soon but it wasn't much of a walk to the fraternity. You applied the minimum amount of makeup since you weren't much of a guru. Mascara, some lip gloss and you were done, letting your (H/C) fall over your shoulders.

Genevieve knocked on your door and walked in before you could answer. You didn't have a roommate. Your dorm was a single not like most of the dorms. You kind of wished she was your roommate but it was too late to switch.

You smiled and she smiled back at you, "Are you ready?" She asked.

You nodded and stood, grabbing your cellphone and key to the dorm. She laced her hand in yours, waffle style, and the two of you began your journey.

It was a crisp night, star littered the sky and it was a tad chilly. Things underneath your shirt hardened and became obvious.

You walked up the steps, hearing the pounding music even from the outside, and walked through the door. You were immediately hit by the stench of alcohol. You weren't much of a drinker, though you had the occasional glass of something. Most alcohol didn't suit your taste buds.

Genevieve pulled you through the crowd to the kitchen, grabbing you both a red solo cup, of course, and poured some bud light into it. Simple, nothing too harsh to start with. You took it and sipped at it, looking around and scanned the faces in the room next door. You saw some of the girls from the team dancing and grinding on some drunk guys.

Man if you had the balls to do that. Maybe people would think you were fun. You didn't mind though, solitude did you just fine. Plus you had the soccer team so that was plenty of human interaction.

You took another sip of your drink. Genevieve clapped you on the back, "Come on girly, you gotta let loose! Drink up and let's go dance!" She was way too excited. You gulped down the rest of your drink and she handed you a shot of vodka. You cringed at the drink and she gave you a look. You rolled your eyes and took it, throwing it back with a disgusted grimace. The burn on the way down warmed your body and you felt less tense than when you arrived.

You grinned and she offered her hand out to you before she gulped another shot herself. You grabbed it and she pulled you through the crowd once again. Once you arrived you both started bouncing up and down, your hands on her waist and hers on your shoulder, her head thrown back in bliss.

You both began to grind on each other, swaying your hips in between her leg, just enjoying the music that vibrated the ground. You both attracted the attention of a few guys. One took Genevieve from you, her attention now on grinding against him. Another guy swiped you from her.

He had blond hair and blue eyes, ones that you couldn't really focus on at the moment. He turned you so your ass was against his hips. You swayed just feeling the music. Suddenly you felt something hard rub against your ass and you knew what it was.

You pushed away from him, nervously chuckling, "I'm gonna go get another drink." You shouted above the music. He didn't want you to go, the pout on his face evident enough, but you snatched your arm from his grip and headed back to the kitchen.

You leaned against the sink. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Maybe you should just go home now before things could get worse and you got drunk off your rockers. The window in front of the sink was open, letting the nights cool air brush against your face.

"Y/N!!" Genevieve screeched your name, bouncing over to you and hugging you. She was obviously drunk. The stench of vodka on her breath repulsed you. She kissed your cheek multiple times and you had to pry her off of you.

"Gen, what's wrong with you?" You asked trying to hold back a giggle.

"Have I ever told you how *hiccup* beautiful you are?" She asked. Her eyes were unfocused. You worried about her, afraid to leave her there by herself.

"Gen maybe we should go back to the dorms."

She whined and shook her head, "No! Come on just drink some— *hiccup* more. Have a little fun for once." She grabbed the bottle of vodka and lifted it above your head, ready to pour it into your mouth. You had a bad feeling but you didn't want to ruin her fun so you sighed and opened your mouth.

She giggled and tipped it over, allowing a stream to fall to your mouth. When it filled your mouth, you closed it and harshly gulped it down.

"Jesus." You said, your body involuntary convulsed. You felt the familiar warmth and all ambitions as drained from you. You were such a lightweight. You began laughing uncontrollably. Gen joined and you both went back to the dance floor.

After about an hour and a half your body started to shut down, letting you know you were tired. Gen left upstairs with a guy about 15 minutes ago, leaving you alone. So when you got tired you left albeit wobbly and unsteady, you were able to get down the sidewalk without tripping.

You breathed in the fresh air, cold compared to the hot and sweaty was of all the bodies in the house. You moaned and held your head, the start of a headache beginning.

"Ouch!" Your shoe tripped over air, making you land on your knees on the the concrete floor.

"Need some help pretty lady?"

You looked up and it was the same blond guy you ditched from the party before. You smiled weakly and nodded. He chuckled and lended you his hand. You gratefully grabbed it and he pulled you up and into him, chest against chest.

His nose almost touched yours and he breathed out, the stench once again filling your nostrils. You became uncomfortable and tried to wiggle out of his grip.

He grinned, looking from your lips back to your eyes as his hands wondered down your body, gripping your ass cheeks and giving them a squeeze, "Now where's my reward?"

You pushed your hands against his chest, trying to get away from him but his grip only tightened.

"Get off of me!" You screamed. He didn't answer, only lowered his lips to your neck and started sucking, rubbing all over your butt and back. He had a hard on and ground it into your stomach.

"Come on, I'm just having a little fun." He finally spoke, mumbling on your neck.

Tears slid down your face, hating this. You should have left when you felt like you should have. You pushed again and again before his hand snaked it's way down your leggings, brushing against the front of your panties. That made you struggle more and when he pulled his face away from your neck, you lifted your hand and scratched his face.

He hissed, rage filling his features. "You bitch!"

You darted forward trying to run to your dorm before he could catch you, but he was faster and tripped you. You screamed at the top of your lungs and tears streamed from your eyes. You scratched and hit and did as much as you could before you heard a loud voice yell. It sounded familiar.

The blond guy above you cursed and ran off in the other direction. You closed your eyes, letting the tears fall as you sobbed and curled into the fetal position.

Hands softly touched your shoulder and leg, a soft voice full of concern coming from above you, "Y/N? Y/N, you're alright, he's gone. Look at me."

You didn't want to look, you wanted to drown in the darkness behind your eyelids. But the voice pulled you to it. Your (E/C) eyes met his hazel ones filled with concern. It only made you cry harder and you wanted to shrivel up and die.

You turned and wrapped your arms around his shoulders, taking comfort in his warmth.

"Sam.." you croaked out.

"Shh. It's okay. You're safe. Is it okay if I pick you up?" He asked and you nodded. He slipped his hand underneath your legs and one behind you back as you cling to his neck, bridal style. You shoved your head into his neck, taking in his scent. It made you want to sleep, knowing you would be safe in his arms.

"Where are we going?" You mumbled, eyes shut tightly.

"To my apartment. You'll be safe there, I promise. Its not far from here."

Maybe you should have said no but in that moment your heart told you to trust him. So you just whimpered and fell asleep in his arms.

Jamaica's keeper is 🔥

Wanna know what's fun? I found out she went to college with my best friend. If that's not a wild time. It's also how my best friend found out since I sent a text at the ass crack of dawn screaming "I DIDNT KNOW YOU WENT TO COLLEGE WITH SYDNEY SCHNIDER"—She's yet to answer me, dear reader, but I know she'll say "is this someone you're being gay about?" and I think that's comforting.
