Spark, the First Pathway

The Spark Pathway is where most Fate Weavers begin their journey, regardless of the length of time spent on its Path. It is the very beginning of existence, the first thoughtform, the initial Spark. Were the Void a Garden, the Sparks would be the soil that houses the very first Seeds.

As a person, the Spark is the one to stoke the fires within the souls of others, stirring them to meet and unite toward a common goal.

The corresponding element is the Mind or Dark, which is a combination of 3 of the natural elements--Earth, Air, and Water. The term “Dark” can also be used to refer to the Mind element because, when you close your eyes, what do you see? Darkness. The Dark. It is also within this space where many of the mental processes and thinking and such take place, including visualization and meditation. The Void space and the Womb space are also linked with the Mind element, as we start in the darkness first...within the Void...within the Womb.

**Something I'd like to note is that even though it is most connected to the Mind element, one can traverse all the elements through a single Pathway, and vice versa.**

Here, we journey within our inner landscapes and labyrinths, we enter our Hermit mode to seek and find our own truths, our own Sparks. Periods of detachment can be attributed here, as you are spending more time up in there and being in that space than you are externally, and… generally the only one in your mind all the time at any given time is you. Both logical and intuitive, primordial, organized chaos, secure and fluid, it helps to understand your own mind and how you process things and to become one with them(your mind). Shadow work is also at home here, and clarity--we do emerge from time to time.

Of our elemental star (6 points), the Mind governs the Northwest point. The colors best suited or helpful for deeply connecting with this Pathway and its element are purple hues and black. 

In our next few articles, we will break down further correspondences to this Pathway.

-- excerpt from the Pathway Series: Spark

I love how Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse said “Anyone can be Spider-Man”. I love how it inspired everyone to imagine their own Spider-People, saving the day in their own universes, with all kinds of cool, interesting personalities and aesthetics and mutations and life stories and relationships. We all put pieces of our soul into these homemade heroes. We had fun. We found community. And then Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse said, “Wow, great job! You’ve really taken our message to heart. Well, get ready for even more of everything you liked from the first movie and a new message to complement the first. Anyone can be Spider-Man… and anyone can be pulled into a cult.”

So now we all have to contemplate whether our lovingly crafted heroes would ever be on Team Mandatory Trauma Because Martyr Complex or not and why.

Do you have any really specific and/or personal Zukka headcanons that you’d be okay with sharing? I eat up every hc you put into your drawings like they’re candy, I was wondering if you had any others :D :D

OH boii i sure have,,, nothing coherent is coming to mind atm so ill just expose my Extensive backstories of zukka bethrotal armbands that idk if i will find a way to sneak into art.

sokka’s armband for zuko is forged back at Piandao’s mansion, and it's one of the most fine stunning pieces of jewelry ever crafted. it’s not the usual southern ivory but metal, more similar to the armbands worn as an accessory in the fire nation. it’s made of intertwining bands of gold and black meteor metal, with patterns of waves and dragon scales that seem to ripple and move when the light catches on them just right. and the pendant is a traditional blue stone from the swt.

There are no particular engagement gifts traditions in the fn, so zuko goes on a deep dive into southern water tribe ones, asking sokka’s family and friends about jewelry making and learning to engrave over the course of several trips to the swt. He makes sokka’s armband with ivory from his own first (successful) solo hunt. i’m not sure abt the material of the pendant lmao maybe gold? but amber would also be cool methinks

as for the pendant engraving they display a unique single braincell moment (untrue i just want them to match). love the fact that both of them are sea savvy navigators, love to think that in their pining era they spent a lot of time watching the stars and showing each other the different constellations and navigation pointers of their nations, so in both of their armbands’ stones are depicted the constellation used to guide sailors back home, sokka engraving the swt’s one on zuko’s armband and vice versa.

if they were sun’s out guns out kinda guys before this only gets worse during the first weeks of their engagement. shirts are banned. everyone look at the bethrotal armbands NOW.

that one cyborg cowboy from my gaym

sometimes i wish i could be normal but i would be SO BORING if i didn’t hyper-fixate on animated media

Prompt 241

Wing au? Wing Au. With perhaps a bit of a twist. Also a hint of eldritchness perhaps. For fun! 

Ghosts have wings. Sure, they aren’t normally seen, not in the visible spectrum, but they do. Scanners pick them up, and sometimes a ghost might even reveal them, which was hypothesized to be some sort of animalistic intimidation attempt. (Something more than one Amity Parker rolled their eyes at)

Everyone had seen them at least once- the motorcycle-driving ghost’s mass of shadowy feathers, the green-haired girls matching shaggy ones, the rocker’s ones that looked like pages of music before bursting into flame. Even the box ghost’s had been spotted- feathers looking more like sheets of cardboard than anything else. 

It wasn’t until the whole kidnapped to the ghost zone that anyone saw Phantom’s, but that was another tale unto itself really. Honestly the arrival of the GIW would have maybe been seen as positive before, but the fact that many of them had looked in the mirror or gone to the doctors only to find feathers beginning to sprout on their back soured it. 

Especially as the GIW continues to prattle on and on about how all ecto-contaminated scum are less than human, less than bacteria. And well, what does that make them? Them, who have been to the realms of the dead and gods and back, touched by the swirling green energy in ways incomprehensible? Changed by that energy? 

So the people silently brush hidden feathers together, quietly rebuff the white-wearing lunatics from the city as best they can, and hope to anything listening that they can stop anyone else from disappearing. That maybe they can find the few no one noticed had been taken before it’s too late, even if they have to tear down the entire government to do it. 

polish spiderman design i did a while ago, mainly for fun but i might draw him again...

omg baby please reject this if it’s too complicated but I *love* the season one scene where they arrive at the college for the arson case, and Gideon’s going down the stairs saying ‘try not to look official’ and he turns back to Hotch, Elle, Morgan and Reid standing there like four CIA NPCs and he just goes ‘try to look less official’

I just love how they’re all stood there with no idea how to possibly look less official 😭 my babies. If you draw this I will smother you in smooches and I will hug you until your eyes bug out but please if four figures at once is too crazy that’s perfectly fine <3!!! I love you! I hope you’re having a wonderful week!

Dearest Rome! I don't know how long it's been since you sent this but I finally finished it!

Here you go! Hope you like it!

yo somethings wrong with the elevator mirror

in which zane did not know before he died

remembered this very old au concept i’ve had since i was tiny watching ninjago for the first time… it completely unravels everything i enjoy about zane in the early seasons and i refuse to think of the necessary rewrites atm but i needed to make at least this one scene exist. can an au be naught but a single panel that makes me Sad?

seeing goncharov here on tumblr and now zepotha on tiktok makes me think how so many people yearn for an excuse for collaborative oc projects without realising that they do so and that the internet would be very harmonious if more people just worked together on crafting silly stories for everyone's entertainment and joy. i just hope everyone remembers that part of the bit is that it's Not A Real Movie and to be mindful 👍

nintendo hire me i have tons of marketable skills like uhh *checks notes* drawing your characters wrong

Since atla is again having an extra surge of popularity, I'm shooting my shot:

[ID: (Rest of image description in alt). At the bottom of the image sits the text: "Zuko: Okay. Well, I can't remember how it starts, but the punchline is "leaf me alone, I'm bushed."" ID end].

Did we ever find out what the setup for this joke was? I feel kinda haunted by it. If not- anyone wanna make their best or worst guesses?

edit: I now know what "I'm bushed" mean, but go ahead anyway 👍

haunted thoughts in tags ↓

I love the weapon diversity in hsr because not only do we have traditional weapons like swords, polearms, bows, guns, etc. we also have cool sci-fi weapons like laser tomes (or whatever you'd call Pela's weapon), gun spears????(Bronya why are you so cool) and such

And we also have like. Normal Items that are either modified or just. magic. for some reason. like Welt's cane, Serval's guitar and whatever the fuck Himeko's buzzsaw briefcase thing is

Or, my absolute favorite, Gepard using his sister's guitar case??????? What
