(Shaymincafe) ShayingStar @ Neo-Ka: You seem vaguely familiar with this city. Have you been here before?

@shaymincafe

As Neo-Ka was taken a few steps, there was an unexpected visitor. She'd tilt her head a bit, her face grimacing a bit at that.

A pause to think that through. She couldn't help but find herself a bit too worked up from that.

"Yeah, no, that ain't fair. 'Course you'd have no idea what I'm talkin' about." She'd shake her head. "Ugh. Anyway.

I've been here. I lived here. I had it all. Ended on a bang. Full lifetime out here b'fore that van actually came back." She'd wince a bit while finishing the last two sentences.

"All started 'cuz of some stupid solo trainin' trip and shitty locks on their end."

"Eh.. Spent longer than expected. You're at least chill. If ya need a guide to some spots 'round here, I can prob still help with that."

"No, no, no, this simply won't do." Glam said with a shake of her head. "You need an outfit that says 'sexy and confident', not 'depressed emo loser'."

UNPROMPTED // ALWAYS ACCEPTING

Just the thought of wearing anything other than her favourite dress had the feathers on the back of her neck standing up with apprehension. She'd heard a little bit about the twins, but not much had made it all the way to the Goetia's estate.

" It's not like my dad would let me wear anything revealing ." Octavia began with a quiet huff. " That sorta stuff just looks ... Uncomfortable anyway . Do my clothes really have to change ? "

i’ve been chewing on the unintentional symbolism of the robin costume change for a while. from dick&jason with the completely yellow cape to tim&steph&damian having the black cape with yellow lining. the transition from being light to protectioning it, etc, etc. the way that you spoke on it in persephone was so good!!! when 17 yo dick sees damian and the first thing he clocks about his costume isn’t the structural changes but the colors. how devoid of light it is, how much more similar to bruce it is. i love when out-of-universe decisions have consequences in canon and you executed it really, really well :)

yeah!! i enjoy incorporating meta-textual decisions into the narrative — it’s an interesting exercise in problem solving. dick correlating darkness to emotional desolation and isolation. like green and the yellow cape returning when dick took over as the bat and other colours leaving his own costume…. much to chew on. i do think it’s a shame there wasn’t a chance for a conversation about how tim unintentionally returned robin to being a symbol of mourning when he changed the colours to red and black after kon’s death. would dick have been kinder then, if he knew it had been transformed into honouring a new person he didn’t even know? like….. love really does persist, huh?

Hello, what is goetd super race theory?

In the world of ASOIAF, the Golden Empire of Yi Ti, far to the east, is a pretty blatant expy of China. One of their myths -- and it is only their myth, nobody else's -- is the Great Empire of the Dawn, the legendary empire that preceded their own. The Yi Ti imperial dynasties are named after colors (for example, Lo Tho, Lo Duq, Lo Han, and Lo Bu were Scarlet Emperors), but their mythological ancestors were named after various gemstones. The Great Empire is pretty obviously based on the Chinese myth of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and is perfectly straightforward worldbuilding. There's some interest to current ASOIAF since the end of the Great Empire of the Dawn is connected to Yi Ti's legends of the Long Night, and since the Pearl Emperor established the Five Forts (a historical echo of the Wall and likely serving a similar purpose), but that's about all that's really relevant.

However. Because Dany's dream of her Targaryen ancestors used gemstone colors to describe their eyes, a theory has been built up that the Great Empire of the Dawn was not merely Yi Ti (Chinese) mythology, but the ancestors of Valyrians from millenia ago. According to the theory, this master race also founded House Hightower and House Dayne and thus they look Chinese no wait sorry they're all silver-gold haired and purple eyes except they're not, like you'd think if those particular traits were meant to be relevant for House Hightower they would have been mentioned once in all of ASOIAF (excluding Alerie Hightower, who's in her 40s and thus her silver hair may just be prematurely grey).

I find this theory to unfortunately echo various "master race" elements of Theosophy and Nazi race science, in addition to erasing the actual our-world cultural inspiration of the Great Empire. (This sort of thing is why an artist decided to make the Maiden-Made-of-Light, a Yi Ti goddess, a blonde white girl and based on Selene, instead of, idk, Ameratsu or Doumu.) I really truly dislike the theory and everything connected with it, and the fact that it's all built up over a misreading of one line makes it all the more frustrating to me. Like, I don't care for a particular theory Youtuber for most of his crack nonsense, among other reasons, but this one is especially bad.

Of course, the fact that House Hightower also gets hit with the Citadel-related southron ambitions theory and maester anti-magic conspiracy theory, which do have some standing, but have been blown up by paranoid ASOIAF video theorists on youtube and Tiktok to make them the eugenical secret breeders of all the noble houses and the secret reason for anything bad that ever happened to House Targaryen ever and the manipulators of all historical texts so the only true facts are the ones that put your blorbos in a good light, to the point that I've started calling this paranoia "the Protocols of the Elders of Hightower" -- anyway, the fact the Hightowers have these diametrically opposed fan theories attached to them, is something I'd find hilarious if it didn't depress me so much about fandom. 🤷‍♀️

I feel like after spam liking/reblogging/queuing your Johnny art I should pop in and say that I love how you draw Night City’s best bastard man 💙 he looks absolutely awesome in your style

He's keeping that title ✨

I know you tend to post it when you're in a funk but I actually do really like the guro posts that you reblog on the occasion

Ohhh tyvm! :3 yeah it kinda helps me vent in a way. when im in a bad mood i dont care as much abt what i post and go "fuck it. reblag." i would post them more often when im in a good mood but im often either too shy abt it or feel bad for any followers who dont know to expect it,

Tbh, i dont like the ones where it looks like suffering is being pushed/forced on someone else, or if they look rlly unhappy abt it. like the "i want to see OTHERS hurt" but i moreso like the ones where i can self insert in a way or where im the recipient ig

Obsessed with the idea of people forgetting that when they have fizzy drinks they’re still having liquid. As in, they think they won’t feel bloated because they can just burp up the air, forgetting the actual liquid sits heavy in the stomach. This ends with folks drinking lots until they finally process how full they actually are.

Combining this idea with someone whose favourite study drink is carbonated, so they end up studying and mindlessly drinking for hours until they find they can’t fit anymore because they’re just so full of liquid and can’t burp anything up (cause there is nothing to burp) that they’re forced to finally pay attention to the big bloated feeling of their stomach. Perfect time for a study break (and belly rub)!

Mannnnnnnn I love this so much! 🤤🤤🤤 I will admit that I'm guilty of the first part sometimes. I love using fizzy drinks to get myself all belchy, but I can easily overlook how filling they are. And hot damn is the second part giving me ideas...

Also, I said this while watching yesterday's episode but honestly if this was set in the West, they'd have burned Maomao at the stake for being a witch.

Not just because of her opinion or approach, not even because of her knowledge of medicine and poisons, or fascination with death.

No, simply because she looks at the world differently and strives to understand how it works.

Recreating the conditions that led to the warehouse explosion to explain to Lihaku what happened? Immediate witchcraft branding right there.

Figuring out that the make up powder was poisonous and building a steam bath to help purge the poison. Figuring out why the binding agent in the paper production wasn't working. Deciphering the will and figuring out how to unlock the chest of drawers. Figuring out how to make roses bloom out of season by taking the steam bath she built and turning it into a hot house. Dyeing the roses different colours.

She's so intensely smart because she doesn't look at the world the same way everyone else does and I'm just really glad that more than one person in her life appreciates that about her.
