People non ironically calling what happened to Anakin an 'adoption' and having no moral qualms about it at all make me shudder. Because yeah rich and powerful religious people exploiting desperate and impoverished women to take their babies away and deny these children any connection or knowledge of their biological origins has never ever happened anywhere in the world.
They're probably just the type of people who would buy babies from poor countries and exploit those women. Note: I do not call it adoption. If a rich American goes to some poor, African state and takes a child from their poor parent, with money exchanged they are *buying* babies. That is not adoption. Even if it is dressed up as such, the exploitation is obvious.
As for JAs. I think they only refer to what happened to Anakin as "adoption" to try and legitimize what was done to him, and then legitimize the way the Jedi later treated him. It can't be abuse if they're his adopted "family". He wasn't won in a race, he wasn't traded like chattel by a powerful religious organization, he was "adopted".
Also if they acknowledged the truth of how Anakin came to be with the Jedi they would also have to acknowledge that he had every reason to feel resentful and angry at what was done to him and his mom. They can't do that. They *have* to pretend the Jedi was some space Brady Bunch, and that all the Padawans were just like adoptive kids. They have to tell themselves that so they can sustain the belief the Jedi did no wrong and Anakin just turned on his "family" for no reason.

That's right I heard the story over and over again!

Yeah, I really miss HoV. I haven't played the final chapter of part 1 yet, but I kind of think it won't go into the direction I hoped it would go.
Maybe I'll write my own spin of it once I finish it, but hey, enjoy this little brainworm here that wouldn't leave me alone. Thank you Steven Universe XD

Sadly I have to bring this up again. I'm currently waiting since August for financial help to be approved from the state, as I have given them the go to handle the issue with my parents and the payments the financial support they should be giving me.
It's a dragging affair and now it's December and there still is no decision to go by, which leaves me with absolutely no options for any kind of financial aid at the moment. Calling the person that is practically my case worker doesn't work, cause he never picks up, so I am forced to wait for their letters and hope they will reach a decision soon instead of letting this drag out even more...
If they don't I have no idea how I'm going to make it through December...
I'm sorry again for even having to bring this up...I really wished I would be able to just take care of it all by myself.
If anything does change I will update this post again.
Thank you for reading this.
I hate doing this, but I'm at my wit's end and my therapist said I should. I have been... struggling a lot. My parents don't pay me the support they should and I can only work so much next to my studies. Every month is a battle to make ends means, to pay the bills I need to. It's affecting my mental health a lot. It slows down my studies, even though I need to get my degree if I want to be a teacher. I can't even pay my part of the rent this month and every time my bank account declines a payment it becomes more on what I have to pay. It's a vicious cycle.
So in the end I'm trying to get myself out of the red. I'm about 2000€ in the negative and I can't get over that limit even if I wanted to.
If you could spare something I would be beyond grateful, if not, thank you anyways for reading this.

Regrets
Do you ever regret coming with me?
You mean if I regret you kidnapping me from the battlefield?
Wha-? No! I did not...why would you even think such a-?
"I will defeat you and drag you back to Enbarr!" Were those not your words? Or am I mistaken?
...fine...do you ever regret me kidnapping you-?
Never! I do not regret anything when it comes to being with you, Edie.
...not even the closing of the Officers Academy?
As much as I enjoyed going there, there is nothing for me to regret.
There is for me...
There...is...?
I regret never having had the chance to offer you a dance. I set my plans into motion before the great ball was being held.
So...may I have this dance, Dorothea?
...oh Edie!

I almost got scammed by him...I'm so stupid...
I wanted to warn you guys of a possible scammer under the URL daviesnewblog. Yesterday, I got these comments on my recent donation post:
Tumblr media
I replied to the first because I thought it was just somebody concerned about the progress I was making. I checked the blog after the second comment, and found a very new blog with posts like this (I doubt the people in these pictures consented go having their likenesses shared on Tumblr, which is why I've blocked out the photos):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They reblogged my post from justsomeantifas, who shares donation posts upon request.
Almost all of the blogs they follow are accounts who very recently requested mutual aid. I didn't check all the blogs, but I am gonna reblog the posts I did see so they can get some traction. I reached out to a couple of the blogs he followed, and one confirmed he'd recently messaged her.
Here is our exchange. I had a feeling he would ask me for my information, so I wanted to catch him out. Sure enough, he asked me to message him off Tumblr, which is a major red flag. This person is attempting to scam vulnerable people. Please block and report them.

Sentry - Roxas?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Life can be stressful and these color palette pieces chill me out. So if anyone wants to send me a color palette and a character from a fandom for me to draw, please hit up my inbox.
I’m open to most fandoms. Mostly familiar with Steven Universe, Panty and Stocking, Inuyasha, Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Danganronpa, Rune Factory 4 and 5, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, Studio Ghibli movies and Persona 3-5 right now! So just ask! <3

This is a beautiful drawing, makes me miss LWA again. Chariot was always my favorite character T.T
The Claiomh Solais in the reflection is such a nice and sad touch. Also Chariot's shadow reminds me of Alcor for some reason, which could be an interesting thought, seeing as he is her familiar.
I think the person in the light is probably Akko, but my shipper heart wants it to be Croix XD
This makes me wanna come back to my LWA ff
Tumblr media
Just a drawing I made while thinking about Chariot’s story while listening to a sad song lol. Yeah, I’ll make her suffer a lot in my fic.
I wonder how many will notice the two hidden (?) details I added.

And now my redesign of the Witch Queen! Her main dress was quite hard to figure out as a balance of detail, aesthetic, and practicality, but I'm very happy with the result. It's great trying to combine medieval dresses and armour.
Then, in addition, I wanted to give her a more casual dress and to show what she looks like in Yuna's outfit.
Some people might have noticed I gave Yuna lightning scars, and this is why. Since her skin was drained white as the result of her magic, I thought adding icy, fractal scars would be a cool detail

hey shout the fuck out to Lady Rhea who still tries to be kind to everyone in the monastery. she's so strong to be doing so after everything she has been through. her mother, her siblings, her home, everyone she loved was taken away and she was forced to hide her identity and the truth of the Relics so she wouldn't be next. she's seen war ravaged lands for centuries longer than other humans. she's seen so many horrors of mankind and otherwise. yet she still deeply cares about other humans, hell she runs a monastery that takes in orphans after tragedies like Remire. she risks her identity being found out and her very life to protect the students and people at the monastery not once, but twice, and on two seperate occasions.
this woman, this woman. she has so, so much grief in her heart, has witnessed traumatizing event after traumatizing event, yet she still wants to make other humans happy or at least provide comfort to those who may not have it.
shoutout to Lady Rhea and how strong she is.
