Sheev's Plan:

get elected to senate for naboo

start new sith order

work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.

(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)

PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.

make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack

(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

chill as emperor for a while. humiliate Vader for a laugh. make death star.

Endgame achieved.

(Vader's kid blows up my death star)

PIVOT: get new young apprentice by turning him evil once he kills his dad, or maybe make Vader cooler by making him kill his gay son. either way its a win-win for me.

(thrown down hole and killed.)

PIVOT: good thing i kept those clone jars!! make new clone body to inhabit. takes time to get right. need something to do until then

build enormous fleet of big spaceships, each with their own super death star laser. keep em on the down low... why use em? they lose half the value as soon as you fly them off the lot

(clone son betrays me but its no biggie. its fine. have loads of clones at this point. whats one clone son?)

create a DECOY fascist empire. put one of my weirder clones in charge. Not giving them any of my ships though. can build his own shit. dont look at me. get a bank loan

let failed clone recruit vaders grandson (will explain why later) let those guys take over the galaxy with a different super death star. assume they built this one themselves. very cute!

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(only via proxy tho. not done yet)

let(??) vaders grandson ("ben"?? ok) usurp failed clone and rule galaxy. wants to “kill the past” but whatever. can still make this work. NEED to keep this kid in the mix (will make sense when we get there)

drop the big news. Im not dead! Fortnite. awesome moment.

lead kylo ren to my base using complex scavenger hunt. puzzle knife.

tell him he’s always actually worked for me. big reveal. big moment. He's my lackey now. a little traitorous and unreliable, but this will pay off later trust me

use death star ships to take over galaxy even more

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(awesome... but not enough. something missing)

let kylo ren lead clone granddaughter to home base using complex scavenger hunt. Puzzle Knife cool enough idea to do twice i think

taunt granddaughter into killing me so i can possess her un-janked body. All part of my grand scheme...

Endgame achieved. (??)

(kylo ren betrays me)

PIVOT: Possession stupid plan anyway. Instead, use ben and reys Horny Essence to make my nasty old body normal again.

throw ben in hole (grandson purpose revealed)

destroy resistance with lightning powers. shooting spaceships down with magic lightning basically a solved problem at this point.

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

kill the granddaughter actually. dont need her anymore. lightning powers classic for a reason.

ive got this thing in the bag as long as she doesn't bounce the lightning back at me off her fucking laser sword.

Endgame achieved.

Hey, do you have any info or tips on diy medicine? I've always been interested but haven't found much success

Medicine is just problem solving. IME it's important to take nothing for granted and get as granular as possible with what you're trying to achieve, because that opens more doors.

Re: that point, diy med is being a medical researcher. Very rarely is work done for you, so there's a lot of fucking around and finding out--how much risk you chose to take is up to you in experimenting; but I'm pretty gung ho and I can still count on one hand the number of times I've tried something that carried more risk than over-the-counter acetaminophen.

Read voraciously--coming from someone who can only get thru about three books a year. It's fucking hard but it is so beyond worth it to work at it, however much you can. Read until you know enough to have questions and then read to find the answer to those questions and/or figure out how to determine an answer for yourself.

Bad sources can be just as educational as good ones--western medicine has a bunch of fuckshit in it and having strong, grounded analysis of why you think an approach, treatment, whatever is bullshit will help you in finding something better.

Anecdotal evidence is useful as FUCK. Western medical practice is regulated formally and informally by legal anxiety and profit motives (ergo an unwillingness to produce anything under a certain statistical bar of effectiveness) but for a LOT of anecdotal home remedies and experimental treatments, risk factors are p minimal and if you feel comfortable trying it based on a realistic risk assessment...you can just try it, lol.

I really want to stress that diy med doesn't just have to be about trying to get a sub-par approximation of western med. Sometimes what we can do for ourselves is limited or less effective, sure--but we are also capable of doing better. There's pros and cons, right, but autonomous medicine gives the opportunity to try something that a doctor never would--sometimes because of risk, but more usually it's about legal anxiety and state restrictions. I remember hearing someone I knew who worked in drug development talk about how stupid it was that their team was having to reinvent the wheel instead of using THC in a drug; even though there exists documentation that THC has the property they were after, their program got federal funding so no marijuana.

Personally my entry point was herbalism and it's not a bad route to go. It can do a LOT, it's very accessible, and unlike a lot of medicine it's less gatekept & there's a significant population of writers creating resources specifically for laypeople with a focus on autonomy and self practice; plus rad community spaces exist and ofc like any scene they're full of bullshit (transmisogyny and gender essentialism in lefty alt health is a huge current, unfortunately), but they can be a good place to like. Network until you actually find the other ppl on the fringes of the scene who you might actually click with. An herbal background also gives you a LOT of directional freedom--lots of sources will combine western medical information on top of traditional and anecdotal practices, which cumulates in a lot of lenses you can apply to try to solve a problem; plus a lot of drugs are or can be plant-derived and having a skillset to identify/grow, harvest and process plants is really useful even if western medicine is the primary lens you want to use (tbh ur basic herbal preparations are often the first step in more exact drug isolation procedures). It's also just essential imo to have more than a western medical perspective--take time to read less immediately practical texts about medical history, other medical systems, and other conceptualizations of illness and the human body. One of my hotter takes? Miasma theory is still relevant and useful. There's a lot of fuckshit everywhere, both within and outside of western medicine--treat no source as authoritative and every claim as a thought experiment! But seriously, take the time to see what's out there. Accumulate as much raw information as possible to build your toolkit.

Some herbal resources I like for beginners (all books on LibGen.is)

Rjwhelan.co.nz -- aoteroa based medical herbalist who presents a really wide range of info from historical/traditional to western scientific. He's got some interesting (read: bad) takes but is a solid writer and information aggregator.

The herbal medicine makers handbook by James green -- good intro to herbal preparation with a range of procedures from simple folk methods to more measurement and chemistry heavy. Also got some weird opinions. That's just kinda how it be.

Wild remedies by rosalee de foret and Emily han -- cute basic introduction to herbalism

The psychopharmacology of herbal medicines by Marcello spinella -- says it right on the tin. useful reference.

The Earthwise herbal (vol 1 and vol 2) by Matthew wood -- listen. I fucking hate this man. I kind of hate these books (organized alphabetically by latin name...come the fuck on) BUT. It is still a pretty ok reference book with a similar approach to Richard Whelan's work and it has herbs that I've had trouble finding in other texts.

On working with others and sharing information: it's important to not play doctor. I strongly encourage folks to help out other people, but in an assistive capscity--not a prescriptive one. Share your sources, explain your opinions! The goal is to offer as much information as possible for someone else to make their own decisions. If you're in the US, this is a pretty good rundown of the legal positionality of herbalists (/health consultants generally) but I strongly advocate for going further than the law in this case on ideological autonomy-focused grounds.

Finally: medicine is not a solitary undertaking. Having a group of friends or even just acquaintances with different needs, priorities and viewpoints will get you much further in a few months than you could on your own in years. And it's slow going at first. It really is. You'll fuck up, you'll go around believing something for years to suddenly realize it's bullshit, you will grow and change. But you'll get there.

I'm so curious okay! what would have happened if MC went through with their plan to run off? and didn't fall asleep? would they escape? get caught in another trap? or would one of the bone boys catch them halfway out the door?

Lol thats a good question, and honestly my immediate thought was - I'd have to roll the credits - The End. Lmao Honestly? My biggest challenge with TFTA is actually chaining down the MC in a somewhat believable and actual way - as much as i can that is, and its actually been horribly challenging. Writing a genuine OP creature of a character is hard because, I mean, if the character can do anything and if they're so powerful then there's really nothing that could stop them if they actually wanted to say fuck it - I'm outta here. Im doing my best to combat this with various reasons as to why they CANT, it essentially feels like im off to war whenever I write one of these beginning chapters sometimes just because the character that ive decided to portray is an unwilling protagonist that is also very much capable of fucking off whenever she wants to.

So - to try and combat this in a way that doesn't influence their strength i introduce various problems which have nothing to do with strength or ability (or ive tried to, i have no idea if they read well, hard to tell as an author sometimes) Like nosy skeletons suddenly popping up out of nowhere, the pressure of staying hidden, the need for my MC to stay hidden with a somewhat believable reasoning, the anxiety of being discovered if she acts overly aggressive due to the whole "monsters can check souls" thing, the need to act like a human under stressful situations. Its honestly been the one of the more difficult things to figure out and its kind of funny - the issue of "How the fuck do i make my MC actually participate in my fic." And my answer to that has so far been - torture. 🤡

The dynamic will change soon because so far the problems ive created can be easily solved from the MC's point of view, she definitely needs more of a "solid" reason to stay as a main lead in this narrative. To answer your question though, i guess the next thing i considered doing instead of making her fall asleep is to just run with the narrative of "Oh god, the human we almost killed disappeared in the middle of the night, we need to find her"

It was actually what wanted to do originally but i sort of have a general understanding of how readers respond to the initial chapters of a new fic they read and decided against it.

The narrative would force me to lore drop on the MC much sooner and essentially would cut out any of the "First impressions" chapters that i ended up doing, and those are much more interesting and necessary for readers in order to determine whether or not they like the character dynamics and set up of the fic and whether or not they want to keep reading - so that's the reason why i ended up essentially trapping the MC in the house for longer. I hope that answers your question and thank you for giving my fic a go! Ive been neglecting it for a while now but im gonna get back on to writing it, the next chapter is in progress so i hope you enjoy in whenever it drops! :)

🎫 here's a gush pass ^^ feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other self shippers! (@comfortingstars)

this isn't really a gush but i wanted an excuse to ramble without getting embarrassed hfshjhddj i might not be very coherent, and all of this is just me talking to myself (about arifive) so i can organize my thoughts

okay firstly, i am rewatching season 3. it is such a giant shitshow. honestly. hfshjfdhhdh now the thing is, the plot threads are so tightly knit together (same can be said for the whole show, really) that ive always found it difficult to self insert into it. which is why ari doesn't play too much of a role besides being five's self-appointed meatshield lol

i am rolling with it and making it related to his character arc throughout the story, but i also thought, what if i scrap him altogether? 🤔 what if he was still in the first apocalypse? we do see in the s4 trailer that we might get to see it again through the time-traveling subway(?) so the idea of arifive reunion there sounds. hmmmmmm. but then again that would present a lot of issues like awkward age gap that just. doesn't feel like their style i guess

that idea, i realize, is also just going to be scrapped right away though. five would never leave him there to begin with. that's the entire basis of their relationship 😭

however that does leave ari as a hanging thread with nowhere to go again. ive tried my best not to speculate too hard so i can roll with the flow as s4 comes out (in less than a week :DD) but i really do wonder. in any case ari's presence there, i feel like, would already create colossal differences to the canon events simply because he's there? 😭 five might not behave the same way because of that and now i have to rewrite the entire series. which is such a pain. honestly

like a lot of problems would be solved so fast if ari was there 😒 not to toot my own horn or anything hfshjfsfhj but i do mean it. like the many times five gets hurt and shot at would be solved very quickly, since ari would be affected by neither of that. that is a major problem on this show in general i think. it relies too much on the inconvenience of it all. they keep all their main characters busy and distracted so they're never on the same page, and therfore they all deal with shit by themselves for 10 episodes when they could've solved the problem in 1 by just talking to each other for more than 3 minutes,,,

this show is so so annoying actually how am i supposed to walk around saying "i like this show" when that is sooo not true i am the umbrella academy's number 1 hater at this point 💀 but also i have extensive knowledge of the characters, lore, and plot that is basically burned into my skull. yes i hate this show i swear

one way i had wanted to give ari his own plot (his main theme is of him growing into his own person after his childhood was cut short, after all) was his doppelganger, morgan, in the sparrow academy but im so lost on whether or not she's dead at the end of the season,,,💀 like sure TWO sparrows survived to the finale. out of SEVEN. and then one of them lived until the end (but he's ben so we're unsure about why he's here), but the other one????? no one knows where the hell she went???????? and the season 4 promo doesn't mention her at all 😭 😭 😭 😭 im so confused okay

one thing i definitely had wanted to touch on when i flesh out ari's arc is his powers. they are so complex and personally one of my favorite concepts ever. the power itself is actually rather simple in concept, just hard to explain

but assuming that there are multiple timelines and dimensions in the universe, ari's powers make it so that he is spiritually connected to all his other selves. at least, more so than the average person would be. this is why he doesn't die! if everyone else's souls are split into all their different variants', ari's variants have one soul connected together like a giant web. even if you cut one string, you still have the web, and it can still be rebuilt. therefore, he can never really be processed as dead (unless he cuts the string himself, but he doesn't know that)

that has always been so interesting to think about for me, and how that impacts his character, because then even his power is a direct parallel to five's. five is the traveler of time and space, meaning he can go anywhere he wishes. ari, meanwhile, is already there. always has been, always is, always will be

i was going to build up on that in season 3 and 4, since morgan is one of his variants but. 💀 um. she might have been wiped from existence altogether so i don't really know if that counts as killing her

tldr this show is stupid. it's so stupid it makes its characters stupid by proxy. if i put myself, a non-stupid person, there, there would be no more plot :( i am sad. but i will carry on with my watching because i need to see my husband very badly

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

back to my regular bullshitery, or more specifically back to discussing that au im very slowly working on (though i will eventually return to placing curses on the mod about Birds of Prey) before i start going insane, because lets just say i've hit a slight snag, i have beaten PoR! so now im very slowly making my way through RD at the moment(currently on part 1 chapter 6 as of writing this) i also want to clarify that me saying a re-playthrough isn't exactly accurate as its more my first actual playthroughs of these two games and i just know what happens in the games due to living vicariously through a lets play years ago, so my bad on that part now then what could i possibly be going insane about this time? seeing as it relates to the au it ain't college work for once, nope, it's recruitments so using the canon RD as a basis for just recruitable units there are about 73 in total, and the problem is figuring out which ones would even be present during this au's PoR or just be during the RD portion, whether they'd even be recruited at all, which army they'd be a part of(because RD has multiple armies), or if they'd even be alive in general that last bit isn't even taking into consideration about characters that weren't recruitable in canon, because there are likely several that weren't available in canon but are in the au, like my most obvious example: Seeker, that guy a majority of you people probably forgot existed is a recruitable unit in this au so for now lets focus on just the PoR portion as its mainly just focusing on one army and can help figure things out for the RD portion i've already made it clear Ike and most of the Greil Mercenaries aren't recruitable, which in of itself creates more problems because in canon a lot of recruitments required Ike to talk to them would the lack of Ike just automatically mean they aren't able to be recruited? is it just because its the lord and thus somebody else could convince them? would it just be case by case basis? also i've also mentioned Jill doesn't get recruited, because duh, and since in canon to get Haar you need Jill to talk to him does that also mean he doesn't get recruited? is he still in Daein by the time RD happens in the au?? furthermore, i still don't fully know how the story pans out, so even units i could see still joining the army could've died before they could be recruited because butterfly effects are both a blessing and a curse i am in an endless feedback loop with myself because i need to know what characters could be hypothetically recruited to make the story, but i need to know the story to figure out what characters would be hypothetically recruited how the fuck is this au becoming more complicated then my other aus, this one doesn't even have time travel! tl;dr: any actual updates to the au is slow because of how many variables there are for me to solve when it comes to a game(well, games) with 70+ characters -🐦‍⬛naesala lord anon🐦‍⬛

on bee atheism

there's a post going around you may have seen that says something like "imagine a bee saying the beekeeper isn't real because he isn't solving my problems" and I think this can lead to an interesting discussion if I take it way too seriously.

this is a common argument against the existence of god and the bee metaphor is seeking to satirize that but the two situations aren't quite analogous. if we were to apply the logic directly, it would be that bees have decided there is an eternal all-knowing bee that is, by definition, seeking the welfare of all bees. in this case, the bee would be right to see that definition and complain that it doesn't square with their personal experience.

more interestingly, if you take the bee metaphor and apply it to humans, im actually on OP's side rather than the bee's. I don't believe in the christian god i was raised to believe in, but this is something different. this is, i think, more akin to the idea that the universe is a simulation; some highly advanced society would have the computing power to simulate an entire universe with us in it. it's not quite the same but I think the central idea is that there are some artificial aspects of our universe, much like the different tools and technologies beekeepers use.

in this analogy, the being that created the simulation wouldn't be bothered with solving the "problems" of the people inside it, especially because we take up such an unimaginably small part of the universe - they might not even know we exist, much less understand what our problems are! the beekeeper, similarly, probably wouldn't be able to tell if there was some interpersonal (interapial?) problem. because we don't even fully understand how bees communicate with each other. the waggle dance hasn't been described for very long (about 50 years) and there's still some disagreement and ambiguity about the details. it might be difficult for a being simulating us to understand how we communicate if they didn't intentionally create us.

it's essentially unprovable in our case which is why I don't have any specific opinion on it. I can't say for certain that we weren't intelligently created by some advanced society, but if we were, I wouldn't expect them to try to meddle with something so unfathomably unimportant to them.

You know, all three times Palpatine took an L it was because he couldn't just couldn't stop jizzing lightning. In fact, with the exception of the bit where he tries a little burst and Yoda just catches it, every time he does it it breaks bad for him in some way cause he's just to much of a sicko to stop electro-jaculating in time. Compare this to the dignified, almost regal, force lightning emanations of Count Dooku.

Don't really have a point, but sometimes you just gotta post about Sheev Palpatine.

MINECRAFT: MODERN INDUSTRIALISATION

This was played on minecraft 1.20.1 with the following mods:

Modern industrialisation and all associated library mods

JEI and all associated library mods

To forward this i feel it is essential to say this is not my thoughts on Minecraft itself, i have played Minecraft for over a decade and perhaps one day i will talk about Minecraft in itself and modded Minecraft in itself but this post specifically is only encompassing my journey with modern industrialisation, (hence forth i will shorten it to MD and Minecraft as MC)

I really love MD, over my years i have played a lot of MC, and especially modpacks, over the years i have strayed away from modpacks and much prefer to either create my own mini modpacks of sorts or play mods as standalone as possible only containing said mods and as little else parse JEI, REI, NEI, as i feel it gives the most contained and upfront experience to the mod possible treating it like its own game using MC as a engine rather then a base i feel MD fails on using MC as a engine in some regards, i think my biggest flaws-

Before i go any further, normally i format these things when i am finished or for now am done with something, this is an exception, i am still playing MD and i am writing this as i let some things process in the background as i have thoughts i want to get out.

-Is that the jetpack controls are lacklustre, really being more of a nuisance then a, well, jetpack the same goes for the chainsaw and diesel drill by the time you get to the point in MD where you can craft them they do nothing, you will still be using the copper drill and just avoid the jetpack due to its finicky controls, the chainsaw then becomes the only upgrade i could see myself using, but even then its just a upgraded axe and if you have a good axe by that point then there is no use to it additional things, diamonds are treated weirdly in this mod, you can get an amount you will never run out of via the steel drill but MD treats them as such like you wont have that untill you get to the stainless tier allowing only for you to process them into the actual diamond at that tier but by then you can produce an obscene amount of diamond ore and just mine that, yes its not automated but you still get as many diamonds as you need so i feel its utterly silly that MD treats it like its such a accomplishment once you get the explosion compressor, id say a simple fix to this would be to move diamonds away from the steel drill and put them into the stainless steel drill, a similar problem exists with uranium you can mine it and get alot of it, but it will have no use until the end game where ores such as platinum that have similar functions do not generate at all a smart decision that doesn't apply to uranium for some reason, i would add uranium to the "doesn't generate naturally" group of ore for this reason i guess if im positing fixes to both of them i can add, make the chainsaw mine like the classic lumber jack mod and allow the drill to vein-mine and 3x3 and rework the controls of the jetpack to either be more so like the classic jet pack or have it be more toggle-able.

Those in short sum up my problems with the mod, one more is that the mod offers neither a way to automate rubber nor food production but these im more okay with as one can be solved by playing in peaceful even if i do think there should be some way to automate food since the mod likes to pose itself as a automate everything mod there in lies the relation to sugar cane too, as you can build a regular sugar cane MC farm as i did but i find it strange the mod wanted me to do that when it structures itself to make you automate it, you can automate rubber but by the time you can you need rubber, a fix to this would just be allowing the assembler to use synthetic rubber to craft capacitors and analogue circuits, i have no idea why it doesn't honestly but it would eliminate the need for sugar cane cleanly food wise im not sure where i would add it as much of the automation of resources comes from the quarry and oil drilling rig, i could be silly and say maybe allow for bronze drills in the oil drilling rig to find a liquid that can be processes into the mods own food, though i think a liquid being processed into a capsule of some kind could be a fun way to solve hunger and for the peaceful mode to not make it useless give it another use such as biofuel.

One more small criticism im mixed on is, items being useless, i feel this one is more future proofing though, wanting these items to exist as such future *things* can use them like the lapis plate and other such examples of items that have zero use outside of clogging JEI, though again i feel its more future proofing, still, its annoying for some items and MD doesn't do it in all such cases like rods.

Overall MD uses MC as a engine okay id say, it wants you to automate everything but some things go against that or are structured oddly with the problems i mentioned that i personally had now i have aired out my problems i had i can move onto what i loved so far.

MD does a absolutely fantastic job at guiding the player, though advancements, the book to the chains it establishes, i loved the early game building bronze machines to getting the quarry to building a few drills to then automating those drills, everything you do is impactful, you are the one building these systems not just looking up a guide on Youtube on how to build a ender men farm because these systems have been created carefully as to guide you in neither a too simplistic sandbox such as vanilla MC nor to complex a system I've been having a grand time working on my own ways of automating things and creating my factory, my Mac-tory if you will, it feels like there is more you can do more you can add but not in a dissatisfactory way but a genuine love of the system that can be expanded, my only gripe with it is as i said before hand i do wish it utilised MC's systems better as once you get to the quarry you never need to venture into MC's systems again with exception to sugar cane as i mentioned before i feels a bit like it wants the cake of you can stay in this room and theoretically do anything inside this room, oh but you still have to venture out sometimes for small stuff, i do not mind venturing out, i like it, i just wish its cake accounted for that and either made it so you didn't have to at all, or, it was more rewarding to do so.

As i said i have not finished the mod yet, i do intend to though as its been wholly rewarding and fun for me, i just wanted to type this stuff out as it was on my mind and although i was bigger in my criticism of it, i do not want to dismay saying how much i love MD, im just poorer at saying it, i love this mod im having a blast, on blast, im currently nearing the explosion compressor , that's where i currently am in the mod sitting in my little room building up my factory all on my own!

The mod can be found here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/modern-industrialization

hummm. im just shooting into the dark with no expectation that anyone will actually answer me, but this is something ive been sitting on a bit.

usually when i experience something disturbing or traumatising or smth puts me in extreme grief, i don't talk to anyone about it. that's usually the default until me-on-therapy reminds me that, actually, you need to talk to people about these things, you need to let people know what you look like and how you feel.

but im confused. do i reach out to people as im experiencing them? bc on one hand i think that's bad bc im just putting this weight on them, knowingly, because i cant handle it myself. but on the other hand, when im left alone long enough, i can figure out the "answers" or reaffirm myself somewhat. or at least enough to keep myself manageable.

but like as i start to think about all the times i kept to myself to find the answers for myself... i realised that it wasn't smth i did naturally, it was just something i had to do to get by. a lot of my issues started with not being able to talk to someone about things and because i am and feel so alone in experiencing grief and sadness and anger, that in itself becomes a sort of "trigger" as well.

im just confused i guess. this might be a chicken or the egg first situation. im not sure if i was just predisposed to solve my own problems (and that in itself caused other accidental problems) or i was just forced to solve my own problems, and bc of doing it more, was able to get better at it even though it wasn't my natural inclination. but the answer is prolly somewhere in the middle; i am someone predisposed to try to figure things out on my own in my head both because it was convenient for me (didnt have to confront the fear of asking for help) and because it came naturally (not good at asking for help so i got better at it on my own).

i know that i'm very much an introvert though, which i feel confident in saying. even in positive or neutral times, i liked engaging with the outside world (Doing Stuff, talking w people etc), but i had no problem just absorbing things by reading or watching stuff and staying in my head about them. i'm trying to break out of my shell more about sharing myself w others to be friendly and create Good Vibes / encourage honesty and transparency w others (bc its important to me). but other than that, i don't have much of a desire for attention as a person, and i really like privacy as much as i'm allowed to have.

i do let my walls(?) down consciously when the situation necessitates, but it doesn't come easily or naturally for me to talk about myself, just because i like to flow along w the conversation getting to know others instead (but i realise that's hypocritical of me to only take in information and not give them out, so i try to make conscious effort towards that end). i've also been realising and discovering the small joys and fears that comes when someone sees you, in any shape or form, and how... energetic it makes me. the thought that someone thinks of me even when i am not there makes me tear up. the thought that i have people i might never meet wish me well makes me tear up, too. the thought that i could hurt and be hurt by these people makes me scared. but its all one and the same, so i try to welcome it all equally. only welcoming good times while chasing off bad ones makes for fair weather friends, which is definitely not what i want to be.

hummmm. im not sure where this thought leads me for now, but ill end this here and come back to it if ever. thank you to anyone who decides to read my rambling

[dimosar]

Sheev's Plan:

get elected to senate for naboo

start new sith order

work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.

(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)

PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.

make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack

(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

chill as emperor for a while. humiliate Vader for a laugh. make death star.

Endgame achieved.

(Vader's kid blows up my death star)

PIVOT: get new young apprentice by turning him evil once he kills his dad, or maybe make Vader cooler by making him kill his gay son. either way its a win-win for me.

(thrown down hole and killed.)

PIVOT: good thing i kept those clone jars!! make new clone body to inhabit. takes time to get right. need something to do until then

build enormous fleet of big spaceships, each with their own super death star laser. keep em on the down low... why use em? they lose half the value as soon as you fly them off the lot

(clone son runs away but its no biggie. its fine. have loads of clones at this point. whats one clone son?)

create a DECOY fascist empire. put one of my weirder clones in charge. Not giving them any of my ships though. can build his own shit. dont look at me. get a bank loan

let failed clone recruit vaders grandson (will explain why later)

LET those guys take over the galaxy with a different super death star. assume they built this one themselves. very cute!

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL (only via proxy tho. not done yet)

let(??) vaders grandson ("ben"?? ok) usurp failed clone and rule galaxy. wants to “kill the past” but whatever. can still make this work. NEED to keep this kid in the mix (will make sense when we get there)

drop the big news. Im not dead! Fortnite. awesome moment.

lead kylo ren to my base using complex scavenger hunt. puzzle knife.

tell him he’s always actually worked for me. big reveal. big moment. He's my lackey now. a little traitorous and unreliable, but this will pay off later trust me

use death star ships to take over galaxy even more

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL (awesome... but not enough. something missing)

let kylo ren lead clone granddaughter to home base using complex scavenger hunt (?)

taunt her into killing me so i can possess her un-janked body.

Endgame achieved. (??)

(kylo ren betrays me)

PIVOT: Possession stupid plan anyway. Instead, use ben and reys Horny Essence to make my nasty old body normal again…might as well pimp my robes out a bit while im at it...i deserve a treat

throw ben in hole (grandson purpose revealed)

destroy resistance with lightning powers. shooting spaceships down with magic lightning basically a solved problem at this point.

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

kill the granddaughter actually. dont need her anymore. lightning powers classic for a reason. ive got this thing in the bag as long as she doesn't bounce the lightning back at me off her fucking laser sword

Endgame achieved.

I think I just found out why i crave validation online from strangers (like comments on fanfics). And why praise and compliments on something I done always make me so happy.

I rarely got rewards as a kid for doing good things. And Ive gotten even less as I've grown up.

TL;DR (because there's explanation and tangenting below the cut): I pretty much never get or have gotten praise or rewards or anything similar because I was doing things that I should be doing anyways because society perceives it all as normal and easy and it's only gotten worse as Ive gotten older. So now my achievements and cool stuff being acknowledged with genuine enthusiasm means the world.

SO GO GIVE POSITIVE VIBES TO YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY ANY KIDS IN YOUR LIFE, EVEN JUST A REALLY COOL STRANGER ONLINE!! IT MAKES SO MUCH MORE OF A DIFFERENCE THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE REALIZE!

Actual accomplishments? Nope. Perfect report cards (minus attendance because I'm not superhuman, I got sick like 99% of other kids. And just gym ew it was so boring) and endless praise during parents night (because gifted kid plus a pile of anxiety and autism that was scared to get in trouble).

Now I wanna specify I did get little things like some sweets or like a couple pounds as pocket money but that was 9/10 times for helping with chores or something that I didn't HAVE to help with. Those things I done because I wanted to help, and ngl a few of the tasks were fun so I wanted to do them without expecting anything in return. So just a quick side note but still somewhat relevant.

I should also specify since the adult Im closest to is my dad, his opinion and everything means way more tor me than it should.

I never even got a simple "I'm proud of you" from my dad (who has seen me every day minus like a month in total in my entire 18 years of living). And he taught me A LOT outside of school. Life skills, creative skills, problem solving skills. Even when I do good with all of that honestly I don't think he's ever said that to me even Once. Now I don't have it as bad as many many others because I would still get things like "Good job" or "Well done" but they were kinda half hearted and its still taken its toll on me. (Because even though others have something worse doesn't mean we're not allowed to have strong feelings about our personal situation)

I have an abundance of health issues and doing so many things has became extremely challenging for me. Yesterday, I went to my first medical appointment completely alone, and it was a dentist appointment and I have deppresso teeth so dentists are terrifying. When my dad got home from work I was telling him about it and everything and how happy I was it went well despite now having a temporary filling in a tooth Im most likely gonna lose. Yknow what his reaction was after I had tangented for like 10 minutes out of happiness then had to stop and take a breath? "Okay I'm gonna finish eating my dinner now" in his 'im pretending to joke yet I'm being serious' tone (which is a whole other issue). Like... dude... I managed to do my first bus journey, medical appointment and mild medical procedure completely 100% alone, 3 things that absolutely terrify me, AND YOU CARE MORE ABOUT YOUR FOOD?!

My partner said they were proud of me multiple times yesterday. My friend hyped me up and offered enthusiastic and entertaining support. Those 2 and 2 other friends (one I dont speak to quite as regular and another who ive been friends with for roughly 9 years and am super close to but we talk like 1 or 2 times a month) are always super supportive in their own individual ways and Im still not used to it, and I don't think I ever will be.

So I guess long tangent short. My accomplishments were always just treated as average things that were expected of me similar to just simply being at school on time. And anything I created usually had a flaw pointed out (not in a constructive criticism way, Im always open to constructive criticism) and the most that'd be said is "Looks good" or "Thats nice". So now praise and/or enthusiastic support (both are equal to me) for accomplishments mean the absolute world. And comments on fanfics or any other sort of positive acknowledgement of something I created makes me feel like what I done was actually a good use of my time.

I could say a lot more but I just need to rant for a bit, and this is probably gonna get like 3 notes max.

[angsttank-moved]

Two of my friends are fighting, and I feel stuck in the middle. One friend said something really upsetting to the other friend and doesn't seem to understand why friend two is upset by it. Friend two thinks I'm taking friend one's side because I refused to drop them as a friend. I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose my friends but I also feel like friend two has a right to be upset. Any advice?

Send me a personal problem of yours on anon and I will try to give you advice.

*oh...i hate to admit but ive been in this position myself more times than i want to remember. so lets see if i can help here at all.

*there's a saying that "staying neutral is still making a choice", which i have a feeling is why friend 2 is upset with you. when someone feels like a severe boundary is crossed and they look to a friend for support, often neutrality feels dismissive of their feelings. it can come across in a very "well i know what they did is fucked up, but i value my friendship with them more than i do your feelings", which can be a slap in the face to an already upset person who expects you to have their back through thick and thin. im absolutely not saying this is the case, only trying to rationalize the feelings of the injured party. its very hard to recover trust in these sort of situations, feeling dismissed causes a lot of ugly feelings to fester, so you want to try to make sure friend 2 is being heard through this even if they think youve betrayed them.

*unfortunately, as much as this will suck to hear? theres nothing you can do to make this situation better. friend 1 is the only person who can actually fix this, not you. they need to understand why friend 2 is upset and issue a genuine apology to them for what they said (and thats if friend 2 will even hear it after being hurt). if they cant do that, or refuse to do that, as much as this also sucks to hear, you need to sit back and ask yourself why that is. i absolutely am not telling you to drop friend 1 in favor of friend 2, but all friendships require give and take. if someone is willing to hurt someone else they once called a friend and shrug off the injury they caused as a non-issue, that isnt the sign of a good or caring person, it just isnt.

*i may fully lack context, but i dont need it to know something is off here. i would sit friend 1 down for a serious heart to heart and get to the bottom of why they dont see their comments as an issue before i would be trying to solve the rift that they created from it. there may be something else at play youre not aware of thats going on here. it could be as innocent as a lack of understanding why their comment was so bad, to give friend 1 some benefit of the doubt. if you learn that they were simply being an asshole to be an asshole, i wouldnt be comfortable maintaining friendships with someone like that purely on the basis of "if they could do that to their one friend, what will stop them from doing it to me?". no one likes to be in the middle, but i tend to favor the party that was injured in these situations more than i favor the side who did the injuring.

Hey congrats for the 200!! I love your writing!! You are amazing!!. Can i get a genshin matchup? Please 🥺. I'm a female, 22yo, bi. 5.2. I enjoy spending my time indoors but dont pass the opportunity to be outside. I prefer confort over fashion but than doesn't mean I'll not make an effort to look good. My favorite food is the spaghetti and the dish i enjoy the least is soup. Normally when I'm with a male I'm the one who leads and when im with a female is the other way around(not sexually speaking xD). My hobbies are drawing, what netflix in my bed, play videogames and reading. I value friendship ans im loyal to friends and a partner. I prefer honesty more than people protecting my feelings. Im also curios and willing to learn and listen to others and be open minded. I also enjoy helping people so i would totally help my partner with their job and give then the support they will need. I usually dont get mad at someone or something but if it happens i could be a bit violent. Specially when it vomes to protect my loved ones. I hope that works. Thank you!! Stay safe!!

Matchups and requests for Genshin Impact, Haikyuu, and Epic Seven are always open!

Lili, Teyvat’s Goddess of Love, matches you with...

Jean is always busy, but if she has time, she’ll definitely take you out to a scenic place nearby. She definitely needs the break, and she’d be delighted to take you along with her.

This woman struggles with cooking a little, and she hopes to get better at it. She’s definitely trying to learn how to make spaghetti (with the help of Albedo, who had somehow miraculously created a perfect balance between great tasting and incredibly healthy pasta) whenever she has some free time. 

She is completely honest with you. She isn’t afraid to tell you anything, because she knows that you value honesty much more than anything. She also finds it hard to lie, as she is fully aware that the consequences are greater than the benefits, if any. 

When she decided to date you, she made a long-term commitment. It took a while for her to decide, but she decided it was going to be worth it. 

Sometimes, you bring her food at lunchtime while she’s working; she’ll give you a smile and a soft “thanks” before going back to her work and eating it at the same time. She really appreciates it, and it helps her deal with the massive amount of stress her job entails. 

Jean sometimes needs to rant, and you’re always there to listen to her. She has an incredibly taxing job, and she deals with the biggest issues in Mondstat. It really helps her manage her stress and even with finding a solution to the seemingly infinite problems she needs to solve. 

Kaeya made you soup on your birthday, to prank you. “Hey, happy birthday, I made you a soup myself!” After he left, Jean ate it for you. It was actually a good soup ngl. 

After a long day of work, you would relax at home. Mostly just talking, but sometimes you’d do some drawing or reading or play a few games to pass the time and relax. It was really the best part of the day for Jean.

Jean is the most loyal person you could ever get. She has never batted an eye for anyone else and won’t. She will always be there for you and your best supporter, and no one will be as important to her than you. 

A/N: I’m so sorry it took this long! I have a bunch of req >_< Anyways, I hope you liked this! <3 and tysm, I’m super happy I hit 200!

i had an (unintentional) week off from my ttrpgs, so i havent been like. deep in the space of my ocs. but i am doing my little red string connections between them and going man. i love the variety of their moral vibes and how "good" they are.

like, naielle wants to be a good person, and do good. And she's so intent on that goal, and so sure of what being good means (even if she couldnt define it for you) that she's extremely critical of whether her actions measure up. In her measure, she doesn't, because she focuses on her failures. And like, yeah. She has a streak of being almost maliciously petty re: what she perceives as a significant betrayal, and her circumstances make her have to sort of "stoop" to the level of the fuckers she deals with. but she cannot recognise her kindness and the care she shows for the people around her. Like... she's friends with the most other pcs, and I know that she's one of the people that the Commodore trusts a LOT, and that she has earned it. she doesn't! she won't! she's great!

There's nothing interesting to say about Zimri, except that they're basically like... a lot more blase about ends justifying means. despite that, they've probably done Less Fucked Up Stuff than naielle has??? which is very funny. Zimri's not consumed with a desire to be good, only to do right - solving problems they have the power or obligation to deal with (ie one they created). So the whole business with ~the fucker~ is an obligation, with some side objectives, and it might be Good, but. yknow. im fixing something. good arises from a solver problem.

Florian is where the contrast is fun. Because Florian thinks he's a bad person. He's been painted as something like a brute his whole life, his primary skill is simply Hitting Shit Hard, he's not the kind of son his family would want, whatever. He's not worth it. He's good at his one thing, and maybe he can do good using that skillset, but he's just trying to survive. And he's wrong!!! He's a good person! He's fiercely protective of his friends and of people he views as innocent (especially children). He presents himself as motivated by practical concerns, but he regularly intervenes for other reasons. Like, he fucking volunteered the group to fight two fucking cyclopses, because they'd been terrorising a town. my guy.

the sort of vibe of the contrast between him and naielle, particularly, is that the one most concerned with doing good is the one struggling most with it, both because she simply has access to Too Much Fucked Shit, and because she really can never live up to her idea of what a good person is. Her journey is doomed to fail in that way, because it won't ever be enough. And Florian, who outwardly claims to not give a fuck, and certainly has no qualms with getting his hands dirty and fucking up people, has such a strong moral centre that he's basically immune to giving a shit about it, and is doing GREAT. if he fucking. reflected on himself for a second, instead of offhandedly rejecting any compliment or statement about his leadership made by the party, he'd KNOW that. but he told himself he wouldn't care YEARS ago. and that's been surprisingly liberating for him.

Similar to Zimri, I guess? When an overly critical concern over 'goodness' is ignored in favour of Getting Shit Done, it lets him. yknow. actually do more good? i guess? as a character. i am not making blanket statements about morality.

its just a funny comparison! naielle cares so much and she'll never win, and that traps her in disappointment. florian cares so much and knows he'll never win, and that enables him to just do his best.

its so good. i love these dipshits

[quinintheclouds]

I found out im a ravenclaw! It doesn't feel like it fits me but hey, what are you gonna do about it. Can you tell me stuff about ravenclaws?

Yay, I’d love to! Quick aside though, what do you mean by “found out?” Your wording seems to indicate it was something shown/told to you rather than a conclusion on which you’d arrived yourself. If you took a quiz, those can be fun but aren’t reliable. I can take the pottermore test 3 times in a row answering with complete honesty and get sorted into 3 different Houses. The quizzes are all just someone else’s perceptions of what innocuous details might pertain to each House, and a few years ago I conducted an analysis of the different options/choices and the Houses to which they led, and… a lot of it’s kinda irrelevant and arbitrary.

If I’m misinterpreting and you DID come to this realization for yourself, I’m curious as to why you feel it doesn’t seem to fit you. but WELCOME to Ravenclaw! :D Keep in mind though that everyone has aspects of every House, and aspects of themselves that aren’t contained by Houses at all!

Okay, initial ramblings aside… sorry :P Ready to hear some bomb info about us Ravenclaws that often isn’t talked about? Let’s go! [Bear in mind that these aren’t exclusive to just Ravenclaws and also won’t apply to every Ravenclaw! Some of these are just my personal experience/thoughts]

So first, Ravenclaw’s canon defining characteristics: intelligence, creativity, wit, imagination, love of learning, uniqueness, originality, individuality, curiosity, open-mindedness, and acceptance. 

We are largely a compassionate bunch that stands against ignorance of all kinds and will fight by informing others. Ravenclaws can often be found organizing protests and the like for important causes (akin to Hermione’s S.P.E.W.)

A lot of Ravenclaws have trouble settling on our House, because we can have the inclination to look at every angle of a scenario so that we can at least attempt to more objectively weigh the options. This is why I used to think I was a Gryffindor/Hufflepuff for long stretches of time.

Another reason some of us hesitate to sort ourselves as such is because of the misconception that Ravenclaws always make great grades or are dutiful with schoolwork. Not true. Intelligence comes in many forms!

On that note, neurodivergent Ravenclaws may struggle to feel we belong when we see so many our peers excel in school. 

On the brighter side, Ravenclaws like these will somewhat unknowingly wind up banding together. We’re the ones who accidentally miss class because we’re so engrossed in researching some big new interest. The ones who annoy the others by testing out new spells/potions of our own creation and consequently making a mess and ruckus. We’re the ones who forgot to study because we got confused by one of the points in the book/lecture and wound up writing an essay trying to debunk the error instead of doing the actual assignment. Here’s to us lol

A bunch of us DEFINITELY waste time gathered outside the common room (or CAW-mmon room!) just solving the door’s riddles. (If you didn’t know, the door only opens after you answer a different riddle every time) 

The vast majority of us LOVE puns. Ah, wordplay… the toy of language.

Starting a million projects and never finishing them whoops

Having a million journals you’ve written in so you have no clue which is which at this point

Buying way too many books but rarely finding time to actually read

OUR HOUSE COLORS ARE BLUE AND BRONZE, DAMMIT! THE MOVIES CHANGED THE BRONZE TO SILVER AND I’LL NEVER BE OVER IT (lol I’m totally chill about this, can you tell?)

We are HUGE daydreamers! We pride ourselves on imagination, and luckily for us, we’re in one of the tallest towers of Hogwarts (bc we represent the element of air) so we have beautiful windows out of which to gaze while letting our minds wander 

Also the cawmmon room ceiling is magically designed to always look like the night sky, so we love to lie on the floor and watch the stars, moon, planets, etc.

WE FRICKIN’ LOVE SPACE, OKAY???

NEVER leave your stuff behind in the dorms! You’ll have to answer a riddle to get back in, and by that time you’ll be late to class (fellow ADHD Ravenclaws, we know this pain all too well)

We’re an adventurous bunch, contrary to some belief. But our adventures aren’t purely for external enjoyment — the excitement arises from the stimulation of our minds. Curiosity killed the cat, as it were, but feeds the eagle. We’ll sneak out of the dorms to go to the library or steal some ingredients from the Potions classroom for an experiment. The Restricted Section is our playground. 

We’re artists, writers, poets, performers, musicians. People overlook this too often, but these are so important to so many of us. I create, therefore I am.

We’re pretty weird and eccentric a lot of the time, but embracing that helps us gain understanding about what makes us passionate, and we’ll work hard for things we care about.

Side Note: I’ll never not be bitter that Fred and George were in Gryffindor. They were such Ravenclaws. They were impish lil pranksters, and very clever about it, and only did so when there was something to be learned from it (i.e. testing their numerous inventions). I could even see Slytherin more than Gryffindor. *Sigh,* I digress… for now.

I’m one of the Ravenclaws who discusses philosophy and theoretics for hours on end, and the annoying one who asks random questions for the sake of asking questions, just as a game to test myself and see if I can come up with possible answers. (The embodiment of the “do you think pigeons have feelings?” meme).

We, uh. Have terrible sleeping habits. And eating. And showering. And we forget water exists sometimes. We kinda have problems remembering we have corporeal bodies with needs or whatever. Lame.

Some of the more rigid, stereotypical Ravenclaws can be defensively competitive for top of class, and that can turn a bit sour, but I like to avoid that drama altogether.

We notably broke into the Astronomy Tower to watch a meteor shower, and lost so many points we came dead last in the House Cup that year.

Many of us have ALSO snuck into the Forbidden Forest to study creatures and explore deeper.

Yeah we don’t win the Cup often.

Muggle-born Ravenclaws get together in secret to teach the others about math/science/literature/etc. because the purebloods BEGGED them to and they were happy to oblige.

Interviewing the paintings to learn magical history from a firsthand account bc Professor Binns is too detached and boring

According to the wiki, we’re the House most likely to dismiss social conventions and unspoken rules in the search for satiating our curiosity. We’re full of quirks and often won’t stand for playing by unnecessary or flawed rules of any nature.

As hyper and Extra™ as some of us can be, we also love to chill by the fire with a book, a blanket, some music, and maybe too much tea

In general, we’re “well-known for being welcoming and encouraging of creativity, eccentricity and individuality and being very accepting,” as stated by the wiki.

Okay, I am physically forcing myself to stop now. As you can see, we also tend to just dump information all over the place lmao XD Anyway this was fun to write and I might make a post about neurodivergent Ravenclaws in particular… Let me know if you have any updates on your House, and if you ARE a Ravenclaw, we’re happy to have you!!! <3
