#I mean I'm glad it's obvious

I think the main reason for my warm feelings towards Victor Trevor is, that he shaped the Holmes we know.
How long would it take him to figure out his profession if not for the "Gloria Scott" case? Without this idea planted in his head, would he still drop out of college? Where would we find him years later? A consulting detective, but with no career yet? A full-time chemist running analysis for the police? An inventor? Would he and Watson even meet?
The butterfly effect goes hard in my head and I cannot stop thinking about it.
#sherlock holmes#victor trevor#acd holmes#acd canon#i like to think victor was a breakthroug for holmes on some other fields of life too#(i mean it's pretty obvious if you look at my art xD)#anyway i love to think how everything could have gone so differently if victor's dog didn't go feral heh#and i'm glad it did#(the other reason is that in my head he is an absolutely sweet dork with fluffy hair)

god i know this is a dangerous thought game to go down but sometimes i really do just wish i realized i was trans earlier, like i really am out here feeling like a real person for the first time in my life in my 30's huh. :/
#i firmly believe that like...life is not wasted#and the experiences i had are valuable and important and taught me a lot#but like...if i had half the understanding i have now i think i easily would have realized i was trans at like 11 or 12#and instead i repressed it so deep that i didn't even start untangling that mess till my mid twenties#didn't start t till i was 28 (years after i knew i needed it)#which isn't even that old all things considered but#sometimes i think it would be nice to have been young and dumb and not horrifically uncomfortable in my body and gender and being#i mean i was fucked up for a lot of reasons in my 20's not just being trans but that was a big thick ol' icing on the cake ya know?#and just sometimes it feels like i'm having experiences and learning things that other people had ages ago cuz i was just#so nonfunctional#idk god it's been so hard it doesn't seem like it should be this hard#i'm glad i'm alive though which is... a lot on it's own#and i got top surgery last year! i didn't post about it a lot but#i'm literally so thankful every day i could cry#idk it all feels so obvious in retrospect you know?

since you like salmael what do you think of jerri?
P5T spoilers!!
I have not played/watched anything with the dlc but I did do some digging into Jerri and I think she's hilarious
Evil murderous pink cockatoo, like come on that's so silly but I love it
Even better that she's affiliated with Salmael, which.. let me go off about that for a moment
I'm so glad they affiliated her with the main antagonist of the main game... consistency etc etc etc
I love how Salmael is disappointed in her though, one hand it's funny that she's going off with this plan to wipe out humanity for him (I think that was her goal if I remember correctly ???????) and that even the big bad demiurge she's worshipping is like "um no????? go to your room", but also I think it adds to the characterization of the demiurge in these games, none of them are actively malicious, they think they're helping people and throw tantrums with told otherwise
You could argue that Yaldy was just an asshole (and he was- yeah he was doing what humanity wanted, but he knew it wasn't for the betterment of the masses), but at least with EMMA (kind of- it's been a minute since I played P5S I might be forgetting things) and Salmael, they just kind of did what they thought was best?????
All this just to say Jerri makes Salmael a slightly more grey antagonist and I love that
Love the new demiurge and his pet pink cockatoo, I for sure am going to draw Salmael in pink, I bet it's his favourite colour
#Ask#I didn't mean to go into a short analysis but here we are#I think I'm just glad that they have a somewhat obvious connection to the main antagonist that kind of caused this in the first place#Because that's an issue I have with royal's story telling in the third sem ughhhhh so to see them do what they did.. yes#P5T had a solid story honestly I love it#P5T spoilers#persona 5 tactica spoilers

watching vienna blood is insane bc it's jack and mina's actors respectively from different terrible dracula adaptations. and they're there. circling round each other in some kind of bizarre relationship. i'm watching (ethically dubious) jackmina happen in real time
#also given that matthew beard is essentially playing jack seward-slightly-to-the-left again. what an experience#i'm actually glad for them for this they deserved to be rescued from their respective dracula adaptations#i mean i ASSUME they're getting together they've made it VERY obvious so far#dracula#dracula daily

#k i watched the finale#it made me cry of course lol#very satisfied with eda king and luz trio (they were the best dynamic of the show as it is)#but mannnnn#if lunter was canon hunter would've had first row seats to kicking the shit out of belos#my man was ROBBED#every h/ntlpw moment felt as empty as all the others#dadrius was the obvious choice for hunter's guardian and i'm glad the show agrees with me on that lol#fuck the hunter noceda shit <3 lunters keep winning#and by keep winning i mean: we didn't get nothing. not even a lil canon hug wtf are you doing TOH#like i don't like how isolated luz felt from willow and gus... her og best friends in the BI. are you kidding#and again it feels like hunter deserved some closure as the one with the closest connection to the big bad#and DON'T GET ME STARTED.... bro. if he had learned glyph magic he would've been the one pushing everyone to use them in that scene#like why is camila doing that when we already have a non traditional witch from the demon realm........#and it def felt like raine was fourth wheeling the climax#but like. very satisfied with luz's character in general. and i LOVE her college design... butch luz real#toh

there's this girl on tiktok/youtube shorts who talks about being a 'diagnosed sociopath' (which afaik isn't a thing anymore and she's too young to have been alive when it was a diagnostic thing -- i assume she just means ASPD and is using buzzword language, but it doesn't really matter either way because...... psychiatric classifications are a farce) & she'll discuss what makes her angry, how she gets revenge and/or protects people, how she forms attachments, n how she prioritizes different aspects of her life, and i keep watching some of these shorts like "this.... isn't sociopathy??? everyone with sense does this???" and then i look in the comments and everyone's going "GOD this is such good advice i wish i could do this so easily but i feel sooo bad about it 🥺🥺🥺🥺" and i'm like. huh. girl you either gotta stop being so relatable or i'll have to acknowledge a very obvious thing that i've known about myself for ages,
#the most obvious clue was ages ago when one of my friends told me it was shocking that soulmate verse adam didn't canonically have aspd#because of how On The Nose it was. and i was like oh huh i'm glad i represented that so well then! he's just me#he's just me. this is just me and how i do attachment. and non-attachment#the second most obvious clue was how relatable mór is. what do you mean people have warm feelings and aren't pissy all the time#anyway i get so irritated by the concept that empathy or instinct is what makes humans Good#cause i don't have the instinct to help people in crisis or even to offer a hand to older people who fall or whatever#but i do value people intensely and i am aware that helping is the best moral thing to do in a given situation#so i try to. i try to override the instinct to walk past strangers in need and engage with them and make their lives a little easier#and this has Probably made me more aware of my surroundings and opportunities to help than like#people who rely on empathy to tell them what's right & then turn it off whenever they see unhoused ppl or drug addicts or whatever#mmmm. jus thinking today#i can name so so so many people that i love FIERCELY but it's always been a choice to attach myself and to maintain the relationship#mostly i think the pathologization of empathy and lack of empathy is a fucking Travesty.#i am not sick. i do not need fixing. it is true that i very clearly don't feel things like most people do but good god i can LEARN#cmon. be nice. chill

My doctor has me on diabetes meds even though I don't have diabetes as a prophylactic, and it's taken... 2? years now but I've been slowly noticing some weight loss and it's like oh cool so the sudden weight gain when I was in my late teens was indeed due to the whole metabolic disorder thing and not just age. Neat. Awesome. Cool. Not at all unnerving
#diabetes is present in my family and my PCOS predisposes me enormously to it so my doc was just like#let's just put you on this juuuussst in case... cause once you have diabetes you can't like. un-have it#i mean props to her for being ahead of the curve in believing diabetes is mostly due to your innate biology and genetics#rather than behavior e.g. diet. which is what evidence nowadays is pointing towards more and more#but i'm like oh so PCOS was having an effect on me metabolically after all and the meds are actually doing things. great /s#i mean i guess i'm happy the meds are like... working? but that's also kinda spooky#i'm also glad the weight loss is INCREDIBLY slow. all the evidence shows fast weight loss is bad for your heart#but slow weight loss due to legitimate lifestyle changes and/or baseline biological changes doesn't have the same health effects#it's on the level of like 10lbs lost per year which is a satisfactory level of slowness#weight loss tw#i wasn't aiming or expecting this to happen and i don't really care either way but it's an interesting indicator#i gained like 80lbs between the ages of 15 and 18 and at the time i blamed it on hormonal birth control#but i guess looking back on it. it's kind of obvious there was something else going on

Hello! I am loving the new chapter of CTB. I am completely at awe with how beautifully you write and weave such a wonderfully complex story. I have a question, regarding the following lines:
“Yeah, and I didn’t know my dad,” Link said. “Guess you can call that another family trait.”
The engineer dropped the fabric he was holding [...] He only stared at the ground—blanked and scared, shocked and angry."
At this point in the story, is it open knowledge between the three heroes that Lincoln is Wars father? I tried going back to reread and figure it out, but it was taking too long and I'm impatient.
And if Spirit does know, is his shock due to surprise that Lincoln wasn't around for Wars growing up?
It's open knowledge in that Spirit and Mask are not idiots and pieced it together on their own. Warriors never said anything about it, but he has mentioned an absent father previously and he looks a lot like Lincoln. Plus, the bastard child business was a big topic of gossip. There's no way either of them could spend a year in the army without hearing it.
That being said, Spirit's shock is not from Warriors's talking about Lincoln. It's from what Warriors said right after it: "Guess you can call that another family trait.”
Warriors and Spirit used to joke that their similarities were traits that "runs in the family." Whenever they used it on each other, it was always to comfort the other.
Right now, Spirit loathes Warriors. He feels betrayed by him. But in order to beat him, he's adopted some of Warriors's worst traits. To be reminded not only of better times when he trusted Warriors but also of how similar he always has been to Warriors, hurts.
#i'm going to change warriors's line to 'runs in the family' so that the connection is more obvious#but mostly because i am a sucker for phrases that change meaning over time#me rambling#lu ctb#anonymous#linked universe#ask#OH AND BEFORE I FORGET-- thank you!!! i'm glad you're enjoying the story so far

looking through my 8th grade science notebook n reflecting on that teacher's style and personality, and man, i think i might cry hahaha
#in a good way bc he was always so kind and earnest and forgiving#i think some kids thought his sincerity was cringe but *i* let myself have fun n now he's one of the teachers i most wanna be like#during study group today my classmates said they thought i'd be a good teacher someday bc of how clearly i laid out the processes#so now i'm going back to ye olde teacher thoughts bc i mean. that's gonna be real someday#n i'm finally writing down a lot of the things i realized through the years i learned from various teachers#what i liked abt their styles before i may have realized why they worked#i really don't know quite how to talk to kids in a way they understand (which is why i know i'm not gonna teach elementary school lol)#but i remember being in 8th grade n loving how clearly all the information was given to us-- it was obvious that the teacher had#written them himself just for us-- n like. this is basically my model for explaining things to kids#anyway the first thing i wrote down abt what i liked abt this teacher is 'made stories out of science n out of us as scientists'#n like. how can i not respect and admire the hell out of that as someone who love love loves story and art?#the way science and art became one... fucking immaculate dude!!!#anyway a lot of my most favorite teachers were; looking back; incredibly kind and considerate people#and i'm glad to have had the privilege of learning under them growing up#the man's not that old he's probably still teaching. i could like. add him on fb n ask to hang out at some point#bc now *i'm* curious abt how he got into teaching n how he developed his style#the worm speaks

@crimsonfacets / @dustedlilac asked: "I know it could be a little.. tacky," Vaggie murmured sheepishly as she approached with a medium-sized present - white and wrapped with a blue ribbon, and themed with snowmen - to hold out to Itsuki. It jingled when shaken. "but I thought it was a pretty cute idea, and thought "hey, Itsuki will like it". Merry Christmas, kiddo." A smile, well-meaning and genuinely warm and matched with a hug.
What waited inside the gift was a beautiful set of blue ribbons knitted with dangling, glimmering snowflake accents, all attached to a pair of shiny silver bells. 'for your hammer. - V' was the little tag attached to them! That was not all however, as there was also a crystalline hammer inside tucked right next to it, with a button on its side that lit the thing up icy blue! It was very easy to lift up, and it made a squeaky sound when it actually hit anything. A toy! "for bonking people on the head. - V" was the note attached to this one.
Itsuki didn't actually celebrate Christmas, but she always seemed pretty content to be part of it, so Vaggie, a demon from Hell, was all the more happy to be one more person happy to include her. Besides, if anyone ticked her off now that she didn't actually want to smack around with the big hammer, now she had a small one that would happily do the job.
✨🎄MERĪKURISUMASU!!! 🎄✨
ITSUKI DIDN’T KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD TACKY. But as far as she knew, anything from the other was ANYTHING BUT!
And so, assurance to the other’s words would quickly come in the form of a tiny, bubbly giggle. As young features would almost immediately light up in DELIGHT just from the very sight of the sis alone. Getting up from the bench she’d been resting on earlier, all too readily would she return her HUG, almost as if she had been waiting to receive it from her for it that entire day. With her arms remaining wrapped around the other for a good extra seconds... she would actually find herself giggling once again. This time from the somewhat ticklish sensation of her own rabbit-y fur brushing itself against the other’s far more subtle lilac fur.
It almost seemed like a MIRACLE, how she was actually starting to feel like her old human self again...
For when she had arrived here, she knew it was pathetic for even her to admit-- of how very quickly had she been reduced to a violently trembling shell of a soul. ALONE, FRIGHTENED, GRIEVING... and DEVOID OF ANY HOPE LEFT within herself... as all she had been able to do was HIDE and RUN from all those around her. To survive another day the best that she possibly could, and to avoid the pain and torment so, SO MANY LOVED inflicting on others down here...
... Meeting someone like VAGGIE down here had been the last thing Itsuki had expected. Understandably thinking it all to be another cruel trick and facade, like so many others... she would eventually realize that it was a BLESSING IN DISGUISE, if anything. Especially with how easily she would find herself bonding with her. She was thankful to have been brought here, to meet and be welcomed by the eccentric yet nonetheless KIND SOULS such as the BLONDE SIS and NIFTY SIS (Though she can’t quite yet make up her mind on the DEER BRO and SPIDER BRO...). But the MOTH SIS had been the very first one she had met down here, whom had offered GENUINE KINDNESS to her. Reaching out, and hanging on tight-- until she had been brought here for her own safety.
And well, the rest-- as them old bros would say-- was history.
“You got me somethin’?” Her smile would sprout up into a grin then, with the gesture alone being already more than enough for EXUBERANCE to bubble right up within her. “O-Oh, sis... thank you... y-ya really shouldn’ ‘ave...” But right then and there, a long forgotten EXCITEMENT would also begin to make itself known inside of her. As she thought about what she could get her in return! It might be a little late, but now she was actually DETERMINED to have something specially made for the sis!
As she would graciously accept the beautifully wrapped gift, she was already awed by how the colors itself made it stand out from everything. Almost as if it didn’t belong in a place like this... But instead of questioning where she had been able to get this, it was with a smile that Itsuki would excitedly open to see what was inside...
“... s-so pretty...” She would murmur beneath her breath in awe, “These are so pretty, sis! Ah love em'!” And as she lifted them up into the air for the both of them to see, she swore that the jingles that resounded throughout the area were just as pretty. As musical to her ears as a soothing wind chime was. But, oh, it would seem that wasn’t all that was in there. For with a gasp, and a widening of her eyes, Itsuki would reach back down and pull a HAMMER out. Lifting it high up into the air, as if she were THOR himself!
... Having her GODDESS’ GIFT RIPPED AWAY from her very hands had been one of her many punishments. One that she had been more accepting of, when compared to others... After all, down here... She was no PROTECTOR. Having long ago failed her people, with that very thought alone... causing a few tears to blur her sight. As she couldn’t even imagine what fate had befallen them after her own death, and what might have happened to their souls, after that. She could only hope that they hadn’t been sent down here like she had... That their GODDESS had instead welcomed them all with open arms, and take them away from all that pain and suffering that they had to endure until the very end itself.
“... so pretty...” She couldn’t help but repeat, as she wiped at her eyes with the back of her mitten. Gazing down almost thoughtfully then, with a small smile back on her face. As she continued to admire the PRECIOUS GIFT that the sis had far too kindly given to her on this day... in her eyes, it was like a gift from the heavens themselves.
.. A-Anyways, sorry about that, sis! She hadn’t meant to worry you like that! She had only started to cry because of how TOUCHED she was by your gift, by everything that you have done for lil’ ol’ her! And besides-- the moment she learns that this hammer would SQUEAK when it hit anything-- Itsuki would immediately cheer right up as she breaks into an absolute fit of giggles!
You can absolute count her to use it on anyone’s that’s being a BUTT to ya, sis!

30 Days of Them #2
Your God comes to you in a dream one night when you are alone in your bed. They whisper something into your ear, lovingly - but it felt like a warning. What did They tell you?
---
"There is nothing I could tell you that you don't already know."
I dream in the expanses of his mind in a place equally as strange as it is familiar. The walls ache with pressure, though perfectly vertical their imposing nature makes them seem to curve inwards, threateningly. They're dark bookshelves - that being the closest word in English, more like shallow compartments - endless little cubed shelves holding a strange array of... Cubes. Cubes of spirals but in four dimensions, as if the 2D line that encompasses a spiral's make-up was transmuted dramatically and inexplicably into 3D. They're all different, too, though the theme seems to be the same: little hand-sized cubes of varying levels of cohesion and self-similarity and symmetry. Some have colour, others don't, some are strangely triangular, some spirals flip direction, many have some sort of emanating - or imploding, or stationary, or spiralling, or whatever else - aura with them like 3D portals, visualisations of gravitational pulls and - he corrects me: "Writing." These auras are writing. "They're books."
He picks one off the shelf; his mood seems tinged with excitement as he holds it in his hand.
"Have a look." I - "I'll tell you what it is. Red. Inwards yet outwards. It wants to move outwards so it gives the appearance of moving outwards but it is a three-dimensional optical illusion. It is a 'sweet thing'. It is you. A cherry red. This -" he pulls back the scene behind him which had extended into these rows of compartments... Like a curtain. Compresses the scene into two dimensions and pulls it bunching the fabric of it's reality, revealing what seems to be the inside of one of these cubes. I feel the smile pull at his lips as I call it that. It's huge, though. It emanates, it contorts reality around it. It is deep, deep black encircled by a hungry, visceral, erogenous red.
"This is your warning." He implies with energy he means the thing behind the curtain is the warning. "Follow me."
With absolutely no hesitation he puts the cube he held back on its shelf and slips into the gravitational centre behind the curtain. I follow, of course I do, on the other side is -
#You know I DID give the warning that I'm starting down the path of Tantra like this level of ''I can't tell you what I mean'' should be#expected. Actually honestly no it should just be ''my lord speaks whatever he wants to say and leaves the rest to either be figured#out or left to decay in the mind'' but like. Anyway I'm glad he wanted to do this one with me. He was excited when he said he had an#idea for it and that's all I want in life thanks#Not an idea for it he said he knew what it was going to be. Or something. But. I'm glad because I wasn't sure ANYWAY#Cubes //#That's my tag for them right - probably the first with the // system at the end but#I love these things so much#ramblings //#Channellings //#Leviathan //#30 days of them#Only thing here not literal and the usual vision dictating is the dream part but like it's... Close enough to how visions work#Dreamland Visions //#Like that's my mindspace and mental plane tag for a reason lmfaO#It just makes the connection to the question more obvious
