hi ess <3

miss taylor: dancing with our hands tied, blank space, & treacherous <3

ty for the fic rec <3 i love texting fics sm i eat em up everytime. here's one for u, operation: toebeans by moonymoment (cute lil wolfstar fic, they fuck around with minnie and shes so tired of them)

chatting <3

id love to see a massive colonel sanders statue irl. it would definitely be significant enough for people to make pilgrimages to it & in fact i think id visit it myself.

fuck san francisco (im sure its lovely) i hate it there (it looks kinda cool tbh). sadly we've already broken best friend code cause she lives in a different city for uni 💔💔 havent seen that bitch since the beginning of january and im losing my mind. but its fine i think i get to see her this month🕺

ah yes the only two requirements to date someone: be hot and funny. (no but fr thats it. the bar is so low)

hozier <3333 (yes canadian money smells like maple syrup!!! just the notes though not the coins. i wish the coins were scented too)

now for the jesus/judas au..... i think peter simply has to be judas. but for jesus i wanna say james because judas revealed jesus' identity = peter revealing james & lily's location (although sirius as jesus would be funny too with his long jesus-like hair & the way he kinda came back to life via escaping azkaban)

american harry styles scares me fr.

fuck seagulls like actually. they always steal my food at the beach while im swimming and i cant swim back in time to stop them. theyre public enemies around these parts.

oh god. an eighteen year old dating a fourteen year old while he has another gf...... so fucking gross. (someone free both those girls rn. actual leonardo dicaprio behaviour)

i got anne carson's sappho fragments book for christmas & i was gonna go ahead and annotate it but now i feel like i should wait until i have someone to annotate it for. or maybe ill just annotate it and then i can give it to my person when they come along <3

ur def right im the opposite of final girl material but i am impulsive and stubborn so i will explore the church if its the last thing i do. (it will be the last thing i do cause im gonna end up getting myself killed)

six cans of monster can cure anything & i truly believe that. even a horrible hangover.

philosopher's stone>>>> sorcerer's stone sounds so bad anyways. im glad canada isnt quite dumb enough to get the sorcerer's stone treatment.

all of my halloween costumes are pretty lame tbh. i was a bee for my first bday (hence my nickname) but ive been a witch, vampire, zombie, ghost, etc. nothing special really

u should definitely tell harvard. theyd be too stunned to deny u entry its foolproof.

i loved blowing things up in chem. truly my only motivation to go to class.

using music apps based on our fav colours thats so real of us.

i may not have gotten wingstop but i did see florida (jumpscare)

joey in season one <3333

infinite bag of money thats a great idea how did i not think of that.

u will be banker one day. im manifesting this for u.

tumblr will forever be the superior social media idc. this website is untouchable.

oh god that guys a mummy's boy...... freud would absolutely lose his mind. a field day.

i understand u. like sometimes ur drunk self has a mind of its own and will do random shit. ive cut my hair drunk and woke up very confused but at least i managed to not botch it!!!

love in the dark is SUCH A JEGULUS SONGGG oh my god. adding to my jegulus playlist right this instant.

omg listening to music while looking at art>>>>>> perfection. makes u feel so peaceful and cool fr. (WENDYS!!! i love wendys so much.)

ur completely right id rather be having a horrible time with liv than be somewhere nice with someone i hate. doesnt matter what we're doing or whats happening it'll just be better if shes there.

i love that taylor likes 13 like yes girl me too. but 13 is actually a lucky number in italy so my family has always liked it!

oh god james and lily im so sorry......im just glad i wasnt born in 1981 or else id be highly suspicious that im the reincarnation of one of them.

american and canadian accents are super similar unless we're talking southern united states or far eastern canada. they literally sound irish over there no joke.

drarry <3 i just love the angst. so many possibilities for them.

jily & jegulus <33 ur right, jegulus for the fics (theres just SO many good ones) but jily for the ships theyre just so sweet.

after that guy i swore to never watch a movie for someone i like ever again. (also mainly because most of the time the movie is SO BAD!!!!) but yes its so cute when ur watching something with someone and they tell u all about it <333

we kinda did have a lot of paint lying around! it was mostly just lil kid art sets with crappy cheap markers and pencils but they were fun. if i was lucky i was allowed to use my parents fancy stuff.

it was genuinely so funny like i wish i couldve seen the sock fall from the audience's perspective i bet it was ridiculous.

literally ezra/aria. it was so gross but at least it wasnt real.

rude old people make me so mad like how have u lived so much of ur life and still carry so much hate in u......get a life old lady!!!!!!

hermione & harry <33

its true dramione fics are better. romione fics are usually just as bland as they are in canon. still cute tho.

tote bags!!!! love em. and omg a pride and prejudice tote thats so cool. i have one with constellations all over it i love it sm. (but also tote bags make my shoulders hurt so bad i swear im gonna get scoliosis one day)

wireless headphones till i die!!!!! how am i supposed to clean my room while watching netflix or something with wired headphones. how am i supposed to cook with wired headphones.

omg a 2! alexa play lover by taylor swift. (im a 5, apparently the investigators. i do love solving a good puzzle so ill take it)

red nail polish 4ever. looks good with anything i swear. my fav is a dark wine red and its just perfect.

wait thats so funny. it sounds straight out of an episode of friends or something. (glad everyones okay!!!!)

THATS SO CUTE!!!!! AHHHHH! top tier gift fr.

also a top tier gift. signed copies of ur fav books + unabridged podg + museums???? a flawless gift.

THE EMMA QUOTE OHHHH MY GOD!! i love that quote so fucking much. those are all so good. quotes that make u feel completely unzipped are the best always.

that poem is so good wtf. "i fear no fate (for you are my fate my sweet)" WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!! IM UNWELL.

i wanna visit the lake district so bad ohhh my god. it looks so nice. the air looks so crisp there.

the locket that is so cute im crying!!!!!! i have a pic of liv and i from when were like 3/4 grinning at each other and ive wanted to put it in a locket forever so u have inspired me thatll be her bday gift.

tigers are so cool thats an excellent choice. king of the jungle fr.

horror movies & romcoms thats so real of u. the duality of man. & horror movie adrenaline rushes are unlike anything i swear.

not picking between jily and jegulus REAL!!! theyre both so perfect.

answering qs!

im not allergic to anything! (that i know of. so far so good.)

i totally believe in fate, at least to the "everything happens for a reason" degree. i think people need to just live their lives and let things happen cause we cant control everything and it would be impossible to even try. if its meant to be then itll be.

i accidentally fucked up a really good friendship a while ago by not being there for someone when they needed it (to be fair we were both going THRU it so i didnt realize) but we both moved on & they had moved to a different school so we drifted apart eventually. shit happens but theyre happier now so thats good.

i wake up bright and early (its 12pm.) i gracefully get out of bed (i sit on my phone for half an hour before dragging myself out of bed) i go brush my teeth and do skincare (i do brush my teeth but i definitely dont feel like doing skincare) i go make a nice nutritious meal (i make a coffee and some toast if its a good day) i do a wakeup workout (i sit in bed and drink my coffee) i get dressed for the day (im not changing out of my pjs) i do my makeup (im not doing my makeup) i head to campus for my class (my class is online. i stay in bed.)

spiderman or thor!!! ive never read any of the comics so this is purely based on their movies but peter parker i love that man. and thor is a dumb idiot i love him.

i think id switch lives with either elon musk or jeff bezos so i can give away all their money to charity or to pay for important things that they can afford like solving world hunger. i think id also love to switch lives with timothee chalamet like what goes on in that boy's head hes so funny sometimes.

(like which pre-existing fic do i wish i was the author of?) i wish i had written just lovers by zar (also intermission by zar) just because that fic is a masterpiece and to be the author of such a work of art would be an honour.

i wish i had written the iliad and the odyssey cause it would be cool as fuck to be as iconic as homer. (also since homer mightve not actually existed id love to be that much of an enigma too. keep em guessing)

ive never been in love! ive liked people but it never gets past that. i guess im just waiting for the right person to come along. but also, in a way i think i fall in love with everyone i meet. some people are just so cool and ill carry that memory of them forever.

i dance and sing a lot when im drunk. i get loud in general but i will karaoke the shit out of whatever is playing. also i get giggly cause everything becomes funny for no reason.

the worst fight liv and i have had is so dumb, she called me telling me that she was having people over at her place for her bday. i said i wasnt sure if i could make it bc i had 4 papers due that same weekend but i would try bc i obviously wanted to be there for her bday. she called me back a bit later sobbing saying she wanted me to be there and that she was mad i might miss it, i started sobbing because i felt bad and because i was overwhelmed, i told her okay, id be there no matter what, she said okay. we hung up and then she called me back 10 mins later completely fine and we both apologized for the dramatics & everything was fine and i managed to write my 4 papers in time so i could go. (uni and exams were kicking both our asses & we both had a breakdown cause neither of us had slept in like 2 days at that point lmfao)

probably either stargazing and seeing sirius & regulus & that comet, or when i last saw liv in january - we got coffee and walked around a lake for like 3 hours and talked shit abt the bitchy people from high school. it was lovely.

jegulily yes! ive never read any jegulily but i wouldnt mind reading some at some point. again, james has two hands!!! plus i think their dynamic is so fun.

i actually dont watch a whole lot of romcoms so i had to look up which movies would be considered romcoms and from that search my favs that ive seen are: enchanted, easy A, mamma mia, & 10 things i hate about you!

i also dont watch a lot of horror movies but i was fucking OBSESSED with IT in 2017 like fully obsessed. my entire personality was from that goddamn movie.

qs for u!

piercings vs tattoos?

whats your fatal flaw?

if u were any emoji which would u be?

whats ur love language?

fav fic of all time

fav disney/pixar movie?

whats ur preferred method of annotating books? (like do u add random commentary or do u add deep analysis & thoughts?

-bee

bee my darling <333

(first apologies for replying late.I seem to have a knack with doing those kind of things. but now I'm on half-term break , exams are over, so I'm mostly a free bird !!!)

miss Taylor -

dancing with our hands tied - JEGULUS - 'I loved u in secret'. that's all. secret love is theirs , they own it . also also , this is so regulus's line - 'I loved you in spite of Deep fears that the world would divide us'. HIM HIM HIMMMM.

blank space - all the women - I simply couldn't choose between them and since this song is very very female rage to me , I'll say all of them. especially Marlene , because if she's one to sleep around , you just know she was shamed for it.

treacherous - WOLFSTAR - I just really feel the vibe of sirius being like 'I'll follow you home' and remus thinking that the love he feels for sirius is treacherous !!!

chatting ----->

nah imagine being under that statue and you see boxes of free kfc just hanging around . colonel the redeemer would be gods child fr.

everything in the us looks either cool or dangerous. SHE BROKE THE BFF CODE. yta divorce immediately. lu lives like five minutes away from me and it's to and fro from there like everyday. I see him all the time and I haven't even thought about the possibility that one day I might not see him everyday. like that's not happening. peace to u bee , u brave for not tearing the fuck up.

nah fr where are my hot and funny little bitches/bastards. like bro come here and kiss me on the mouth and take me out and we can get married in like an hour.

hosier is bae baeeee. (that's so fucking cool. and I think the coins should so smell like maple syrup. it's fucking unjust that they don't. sue Trudeau.)

Peter = judas and James = Jesus (and I so see ur point with the sirius looking like Jesus parallel. like James (if he was alive) would've so made some jokes about that.

TALKING ABOUT HARRY STYLES - please tell me you saw him at the brit awards yesterday. please. I was in fucking tears when I saw. like broooo he mentioned Zayn??? my boy Zayn ???? my directioner heart is healing for real. (and lewis Capaldi is probably the only person in the world who can among to get the band back together. he has the power.)

I get chased by them whenever I'm at the beach and they've stolen chips from my fish and chips before and it's so fucking annoying like genuinely I wish they'd go fuck themselves.

no genuinely someone should arrest that guy. fucking hate him. piss bag.

ahhhhh annotate it and then buy a new copy for your person and annotate with shit like 'made me think of u' and everything I would cry my fucking eyes out if someone gave me that.

nah bee a nun gonna fly in and drop kick u in the face (now laughing at this image)

it did not cure my hangover ! it made it worse !!! and the worst part was that lu was also hungover so he couldn't work his magic with his hangover potion. and he also emptied his insides out (he threw up) and I was his sick nurse and made him soup and everything. (he was so out of it it was funny as fuck)

canada is smarter than the use for sure (free healthcare and gun control for one.)

bee as a bee oh my god that's so cute (and those costumes aren't lame they're classics)

fr Harvard is so calling.

blowing things up is so so fun. I used ethanol in class recently (there was a big boom) and it was very funnn.

yes pink and green stay winning always >>>

ew not florida ewwwwww.

joey is just bae. I love him so so much. (his funeral fit stays banging.)

I'm just smarter than u bee , let's face it.

update on the banking thing - he said no. he just doesn't like powerful women.

tumblr is so bae , like vanilla extract is so funny to me now

freud would love to dissect that boy fr.

cutting your hair drunk ??? and not botching it ??? you are the chosen one. I bow down to your brilliance.

THE MOST JEGULUS SONG TO EVER JEGULUS. yes yes u must add it. can't believe it wasn't already there in the first place.

it is so perfect. such a vibe honestly. (Wendy's slaps hard. but it wasn't square so I feel betrayed.)

bad times with your best friend so that ten years in the future you can look back and laugh on how stupid and dumb you were.

ahhh no my family has always considered 13 bad luck. but I don't believe it so 13 stays winning <333

can't tell the difference fr (Irish ??? never knew that that's fucking weird (in a good way))

DRARRRRRRYYYYYY the angst is unmatched. unmatched I tell you.

jegulus fics are so so so good I eat them up like soup. and jily is just - perfect. I love them. I love it so so much.

no because those kind of movies are so weird. it annoys me so much. (but watching stuff with someone who's obsessed with the thing you're watching ??? like whatttt. it's so sweet. eg Lu's fucking obsessed with sports and shit and he knows I'm just not - so he always always explains shit to me like when to cheer which team we support and everything.)

I would feel so proud if it was me and I was allowed to use the fancy paints. like so so important and everything I would love it so so much.

I can imagine it now. sock falling in slow motion.

yes thank fuck for that.

get a life of their own frrrr. high time considering their lives are just about to end.

herm and harry are my darlings honestlyyy

yes yes romione is so cute and awesome but I don't personally like fics about them fr.

OH MY GOD A CONSTELLATION TOTE ???? honestly you're so fucking awesome it's fucking coooolllll.

WIRELESS HEADPHONES 5ever fr fr. could never deal with the wires when I'm doing stuff.

LOVVVVERRRRR. ( a 5 ??? that's awesome !!!)

mine's that kind of red or a classic bright red. love them classics and everything I love it <33

it really really really was. (we're all good but we have matching scars now ! hey - tattoos right there ???)

no I loved it so so much I love it so fucking much it's cool as fuck. prize present <33

I'm literally the best friend ever he should bow down to me and my excellence. (no but I just got him all his favourite things and bro got super emotional and everything. )

YES I FEEL SO UNZIPPED WHEN I READ THAT SHIT I FUCKING LOVE IT SOOTHES ME. those kind of confession quotes will always be so dear to me.

YES YES U GET IT. favourite poem ever <33

the air is super crisp and everything feels mega real up there. like I am hyper-aware of the fact that I exist.

yes yes a locket like that is so so cute. she will keep it close to her heart trust <333

YES TIGERS. GO TIGERS.

horror movies & romcoms have my whole heart. rom-coms come first , but horror movies are a close second. (and horror-coms are lovely too !!!)

jily and jegulus are amazing. top-tier always.

reviewing your q's -

god bless u and ur immune system. the chosen 1 fr.

fate fate fate. I believe in destiny and fate and I love it because I really truly believe that I could bump into someone and fall in love. like it could so so happen. It will happen. manifesting the fuck out of it.

friendship break ups make me so so sad. like damn you don't want me anymore???? sad as fuck. (glad you both are doing good now !!!!)

WHAT A FUCING MOOD. same though. I think it's something in the air when I'm getting ready for school. like I get ten times more slugger in the morning I'm getting up for school like I really curse the fuck out of everyone and their mothers.i do it so often.

Peter Parker always <33333. I love them so so so much.(tom and toby and ANDREWWWWW)

(yes yes that's what I meant !!!) I so so need to fucking read it I swear I'll do it. I'm going to do it as soon as I have time honest.

homer is iconic you're so right. keep them guessing always and forever for reals.

I fall in love every time I look in the mirror. no but if we're being honest - me neither. I feel like it's coming though. I love love and I want to be in love too. (meeting the best people and carrying the memory of them forever >>>)

NO HONESTLY. man wearing hat ???? funny as fuckkkk.

not being able to go places because you have exams is so so so fucking annoying. like exams can go to hell (she cried for u ??? that's so sad and honest and sweet honestly best friend GOALS.)

talking shit about bitchy people with your best friend >>>> especially because it's always the darnedest things too and the best friends we have would never expect it and it's always so funny to shock them.

I honestly don't really mind jegulily. I think it's fun , and I might read a couple fics here and there but they'll never be my OTP. I love them , but jegulus and jily stay winning alwayssss.

'I hate the way I don't hate u. not even a little bit , not even at all.' my heartttt. and also Cameron is amazing and needs to be appreciated more.

q's -

now I love piercings (want at least 3 in each ear) but tattoos because to me they can hold much more meaning than a piercing. like it would be amazing and they just .... do stuff piercings can't. piercings still slap though.

loyalty to the people I love. like I've said this before , but I'd absolutely go feral if anything untoward happened to the people I love. i would genuinely fuck the aggressor up. like I genuinely feel like I saw a ten foot tall hunky muscle guy slap lu once , and I was there , I'd get so mad I'm pretty sure my sheer anger would scare him the fuck away. but I'd do it even if they were wrong. like if he says the sky is purple in front of people he doesn't like , then the sky is mf purple until we get home then I ask him what the fuck is going on.

the raising a single eyebrow one. I'm always making that facial expression. (I used to hang out with some pretty sus people and the things they used to say ..... shiver.) and of course the love heart ( where is my pink love heart , apple ?????? where is it ????) simply because I am a hopeless romantic.

acts of service !!! I will always do something like that for someone I love. like you need the groceries ??? not a single word more I'm going rn. also also love love giving gifts. like I really think them out .

SPIDERMANNNN. I love all 3 of them so so much I love the fuck out of them they're my favourites always always.

oh my god I couldn't possibly. but I could. (for each ship I have 1 or 2)

drarry - mental , temptation on the warfront.

jegulus - absentmindedly making me want you

dramione - wait & hope , isolation

wolfstar - of memories and milk thievery , lessen my load

nottpott (harry x theo nott) - rendevouz receipts , lethal combination

btw lethal combination is by the same author as the one who wrote the atlas six !!!! I love it so so much !!1 (nottpott is a guilty pleasure ship)

7. my favourite Disney movie is tangled always always <33333 unmatched. Pixar - UP (I fucking love it. it made me cry so so hard, I love it so so much)

8.i do both. like I have clear post-its , and sometimes I jot my notes down there , other times I have annotated the fuck out of them on the pages. in my copy of Gatsby , I have the word 'gay' written next to a lot of the times nick talks about Gatsby (maybe I'm biased but he was so in love with Gatsby.)

9.i'd love to be a black cat. mostly because I hate how they're said to be bad luck. like they're so sweet and cute and I just love them always. they're amazing. (plus being lazy and thinking they're better than everyone ??? so me honestly.)

10. dark academia !!! I so so so wanna live like that like it's the dream I love it so much. everything about it. the outfits , the scene , the vibes , the feel , the feeling that if I fall in love with someone , it'd kill me to be without them. I just LOVE it.

11. cinemas !!!! I love cinemas so much the vibes , the popcorn , the snacks I've snuck in , the way people clap when famous actors come onto screen >>>>

12. friday !!! end of the week , game night , no alarm to wake upto the next day . Friday has it all always. very dear and near to me <333

13.the lover !!!! no one was surprised by this honestly. it's very literally me. I am very much an idealist always looking for love wherever I can find it !!!

q's for uuuu -

which 1d member is your fave ?

top 5 Taylor songs ?

top Shakespeare quote ?

fave Shakespeare play ?

fave modern family character ?

style vs ootw?

cruel summer vs dress ?

fave tay tay lyric ?

Egon Schiele of the Viennese Secession

Hello, I'm doing a series of blog posts around the Viennese Secession because I discovered it literally a few days ago. I'm not a knowledgeable historian. I'm just writing down notes and things that I find interesting about this period in modern art history.

This is a snippet of one Egon Schiele's portraits. A lot of Schiele's artwork revolves around sex and death because his dad died of syphilis... Despite the tragic backstory, I find schiele's work to be very elegant. The death element shines very clearly when all of Schiele's painted figures look like corpses. At that time, not many people wanted Schiele to paint a portrait of themselves because a portrait of a corpse isnt a very flattering piece of artwork.

Especially Schiele's Male Seated Nude in which he very much gives his own body a trans femme vibe. Gazing over the piece, I very much get the vibe that he has titties! I love putting trans identity to a piece without any trans identity. Helps me relate (sorry thats embarassing)

Here's a snippet of male seated nude. As you can see, there is a subtle touch of breasts on this self portrait.

The discoloration of the figures body, contrased with the rose pink nipples is right on par with Schiele's theme of sex and death. It's giving freudian. Speaking of Freud

Check out the playful introspective painting here. Feeling very Freud inspired.

One thing I think is crazy is how many great writers, painters, poets, etc. were all really fucked up people. Schiele painting erotic nudes of minors, Sartre and Beauvoir grooming young women for sex, and so forth. It really disappoints me because I wonder if there are any great thinkers without a terrible, unethical underbelly. No human is without their flaws but by no means are all humans evil abusive groomers and abusers.

Schiele's contributions cannot be ignored. The way form is captured is purely elegant. There's a strange contrast between eroticism and artistic integrity. I think the line certainly becomes 'blurred' and 'trampled over' when you include vulnerable models in your work.

These paintings of children in the hospital are particularly amazing to me. The baby's elongated body, and intense red hue is so dramatic. The pregnant woman's form is very relaxed despite how dramatically abstract it is.

I think that's all i really have to say for now. I think Schiele is very interesting though. I'm not a fan of how a lot of the eroticism in his work revolved around underage sex workers. I hope this is a part of history we learn and grow from. Perhaps as time progresses, we will see more artists who intend to leave a more positive foot print on humanity.

Goodbye friends!

SO i just finished NGE. is it worth it to watch end of evangelion?? lmk.

anyways i honestly feel like this was super overhyped! there were individual parts that i found cool, and i liked the worldbuilding, but it was j so complex and SO unresolved. and i also really hated the departure from the genuinely interesting take on catholic imagery to focus on the most heavy handed freudian bullshit. the characters also felt very tropey and hollow. shinji, basically the only male character with any depth, isnt allowed to feel real bc all of the other primary characters he interacts with are misogynistically written women. the two most interesting female characters, misato and asuka, are kept from having real personhood bc so much of their screentime is just them being props for shinji (or kaji). and rei COULD HAVE been interesting but shes literally just a walking slice of bread. so bland. like there are hints of asuka and misato being individual people, but its so mired and obfuscated. and, again, i loved where the show initially seemed to be going, and i understand that they ran out of production capability, but it felt so anticlimactic, the angels started making less and less sense, and they introduced like 15 tantalizing bits of wolrdbuilding that never went anywhere. and again, bc we’re working with fairly two dimensional characters, the move to focus on psychoanalysis was a really bad one and it became really repetitive. there was nowhere for these characters to really *go* without plot events bc their interiority is so scant. like the rei and asuka psyche episodes were honestly just boring! and the misato one just made me angry. also why was the rei clone thing revealed?? they did like, nothing with that whatsoever. and its a fundamentally uninteresting explanation of her character. also what are lilin?? why did they introduce that??? basically i liked the parts where the robots fought and i liked some of asuka and i liked the music but as a whole evangelion as a narrative is sloppy and reductive.

#sorry for the long rant post. but yeah idk why people are so insistent that NGE is good. it isnt!!!#if the point is the psychoanalysis arcs it ESPECIALLY isnt bc the characters are so hollow and all the freud shit is so on the nose.#mine

did freud know the sacrifice spell would take away his existence in the way it does? or did he think it would kill him? in the maple m dialogue he says EXPLICITLY that the spell will take away someone's time/existence, in the same way kao's was taken, which is more than a little confusing because they had different effects (unless the amnesia was unrelated, plus eun did have a little cuz he couldnt remember his own name so maybe it did but somehow his memories werent effected as badly?) bUT ANYWAY

my point is how much did freud know? and why would he resort to THAT especially if so much of the post-fight plan relies on him being alive to carry it out? ik hes the kind of person to throw himself into the fire if he has to but this was very specifically a spell that he didnt discuss with the others and he apparently also didnt discuss his plans to hide mirs egg? did he think that would tip them off to his self sacrifice plan? and YES i KNOW this is just a plot hole but i feel like the writers could use it to their advantage... make it so he knew how the spell worked and could continue his work anonymously mayhaps? which would be a little fucked up but greater good and all

...and. how Did kao lose their time? did bm do that? how

#would freuds plan in this form even have worked? eun didnt wake up until 300 years after the fact #by then mirs egg woulda been smashed... or afrien wouldve told one of the others to hide it #actually. thats a really good point theres no way afrien would trust freud w the egg #unless the mark/bond doesnt break? and freud can convey to him that something happened but theyre buds and hes trustworthy?#but if he couldnt would afrien trust anyone else w the egg? i dont think its elaborated on whether he was friends w the other heroes too #i dont doubt he was tho!!#and i know maple m. isnt exactly the most canon #but since its an addition to an existing plotline im taking it into consideration #and it kind of makes sense! kind of #and even if that part gets thrown out the rest of my question stands #sorry im thinking tonight #also i know kao lost their powers bc arma but they said they made it to bm #(i think)#so the loss of time was afterwards #how tf kao made it through arcane river without arcane force is truly beyond me but hey game mechanics be damned

would love to hear about your oc's :'(

sorry for taking SO long to answer this but THANK YOU for asking about my ocs!!! <3

i have way too many to keep track of tbh but right now the group im focusing on the most is les albatros, a collective of writers, artists, actors, & other creative types who are all regulars at le café albatros. i still cant really decide when & where their stories are set—it kind of all simultaneously takes place in the 1960s and the 1890s, either in paris or in the fictional city of kaiserstadt (which is itself the capital of a fictional country somewhere in central europe).

just like the setting is a mess, who actually makes up this group of ocs isnt super well defined either. i keep getting new ideas for characters, merging some together & making new ones, & changing their traits & backstories, so its kind of hard to make a neat list of them. but here are the main/most well-developed ones:

camille jacobson - the eccentric owner of the café (which, by the way, is named after a poem by charles baudelaire about how hard it is to be a poet)

franz wolf - a composer; mad, bad, & dangerous to know

friedrich weiss - an actor who’s haunted by his nazi past (in the 1960s version of the story)

leo freud - a writer who would immediately be cancelled on twitter if they lived in the modern day; friedrich’s wife; heavily based on me lmao

frieda weiss - friedrich’s twin sister with whom he has an incestuous relationship (its consensual! they love each other! but he IS married...); aspiring tradwife

pierre rudolf - a filmmaker & the manager of the théâtre bogatyr, which he rules with an iron fist; has the artistic style of wes anderson & the ethics of werner herzog

dr. brandenburg - pierre's long-suffering psychiatrist

isidro de azarola - a depressed artist with a lot of catholic guilt

louise oscar - a critic; isidro’s manic pixie dream girl who writes mean reviews of his art

pretty much all of them are bi for maximum romantic drama purposes, and many are trans/nb.

so thats them! that is, as much as its possible to coherently describe this as yet very disorganized mess. i want to write a series of short stories about all of them eventually, mostly standalone but not entirely; so far the only ones ive written anything about are friedrich, frieda, & leo.

#mp #albatross #now you all know the unnecessarily byzantine lore behind this tag!#i should talk more on this blog tbh #im more talkative about my ocs (and other stuff) on twitter #(follow me @durablefire xoxo uwu)

Alexa play like a virgin by madonna for our boy gojo.

Like why was he so nervous??? Doesn't he have more experience than her? Were his past sexual encounters not that memorable?

Satoru in minazuki!canon has only done one night stands for self indulgence + even lost his virginity to a prostitute when he was 16 (ch2). Sex for him never involved love or anything like that. Hes experienced, you can tell he is by the way he touches y/n and knows what he’s doing (like he didnt even need to penetrate her to make her feel great heheeh)

y/n’s perception is that anything inherently sexual is just baby making and more on a man’s pleasure. Yet for Satoru, who we know since the beginning always wanted (even before he fell for) always wanted Y/N to leave out what she was taught growing up, he’s like ‘fuck what they taught you. This isnt about kids or me, i wanna make u feel good because i love you and u deserve all that in this relationship’ so yeah, hes nervous but not because past experiences were scary or hes inexperienced, he just wants everything to be perfect and give y/n something good and something she deserves🥺❤️

𝔄𝔫𝔬𝔫. Y/N TEASING SATORU AND HIM BLUSHING LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL IS PEAK COMEDY😭😭😭

𝔄𝔫𝔬𝔫. I thought yn would be one teased and flustered but seems like it’s gojo. And i am loving it. Can’t wait to see how y/n messes with him more XD

flustered gojo makes me go mhmmm like i love seeing a confident man go weak sorry :”)

𝔄𝔫𝔬𝔫. Hey yo i didn't expect their first smutty scene to be like that. My boring mind just thought they'll make out on the bed with some light groping mostly from gojo and him guiding her. Exceeded my expectations, i now realize how poor my imagination is and how much I underestimate y/n. She's not sexual but when she tries wow.

AHHSHSHHSHSHS determination from satoru and y/n also wanting her husband to feel good as well (she’s willing to go the extra mile but her husband is willing to prove her wrong and make her feel good as well yum...we love generous couples who like giving yay)

𝔄𝔫𝔬𝔫. Everyone was expecting y/n to be the one that unravels due to pleasure but it’s gojo who whines from just her hand 😧 yea it’s over for him when she gives him the guac guac 3000 😔 he’s all nervous and blushing yea he’s whipped

ir’s the first time for satoru to have sex with feelings my man is juST WHOOOO

𝔄𝔫𝔬𝔫. Why do I feel like y/n is about to slut gojo out… he’s gonna start calling her daddy

ah, hes got another kink coming on and it aint the daddy kink :( (sorry its a me problem, i cant take that kink seriously and im blaming freud for making me hate the daddy kink sm... he’s ruined it for me now that i look at it in fics or when someones calling their boyfriends daddy i just stare at them and think of freud and the oedipus complex HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :( srsly wish i could unlearn that theory T-T please)

#pat.talks #customer.feedback #📝📝.minazuki mini series #minazuki!satoru doesnt wanna loose y/n okay #likes hes still traumatised from geto’s disappearance #part 2 of the thirst asks #YAL WERE NOT JOKING #hostclub.adulting #tw.freud #i feel like that man deserves a tw

cw: narcissism, freud, mommy issues, trauma?? just overall vent about my mental issues.

how did i go from being a doormat to a narcissist??

then again, isnt that what i always was, a narcissist? hasnt that been a running thing in the many things about myself i agonize over?; that i’m selfish, obsessed with myself.

nothing changed. i’m just not around people anymore. no one to please, so i am able to focus on my favourite thing: me.

ive noticed it. i’m more bitter. judgmental. apathetic. no morals, no ethics, no values. just hedonistic, personal pleasure and comfort. i should have seen this coming. we’ve known it all along.

i’m a narcissist because my mother is a narcissist.

i don’t know that for sure. just read online that people like me, with the same bad habits and tendencies, were raised by a narcissistic parent. ever since i read that i couldn’t stop thinking about it. it would make things all make sense.

mommy issues. Freud always blamed things on the mother. that’s so easy isnt it. my mom is a domineering, strong, powerful woman which is why is why my Oedipus complex instead focuses on the mother, leading to my attraction to women, especially strong women. her presentation of unconventional gender roles is what created ambiguity in my gender identity. her controlling nature stunted my independence which is why i constantly form intense, intimate, borderline codependent relationships with a single person. why i feel lost without someone to constantly hold my hand. Her refusal to communicate honestly, why i can’t communicate or express myself honestly with others. her high expectations why i feel like a disappointment, why i have a fear of failing. her overriding me, denying my feelings or perspective, and telling me what the “right” answer is, is why im afraid to speak, to make a conviction, why i let things go on because it’s easier to be passive and keep your head down.

i want to blame her for why i am the way i am. i do blame her. i resent her for it. a classic freudian case. i am the hysterical woman and the half baked man too close to his mom. i feel she crippled me. screwed me up. i am the victim of her desires to control.

its so easy to just not take any responsibility. to say yeah im fucked up whatever i didn’t ask to be born and just keep floating by in life, feeling sorry for myself, not thinking about the future, just doing things to make myself happy now.

i have issues to work through, clearly. but i don’t feel ready to forgive. but i can’t just give myself excuses either. what i need is not just awareness, but change. its just i don’t want to. because it doesn’t feel good. and all i want is to feel good.

#just been thinking about this a lot #i think especially because ive been talking with my uncles recently #and both of them are like yeah your mom has a strong grip on how the family runs #like her presence changes what can be said or done #and she have very heavily guarded my brother and i from information #and personal relationships with family members #so ive just been thinking a lot #vent #rant #personal #journal #1/4/2021

So antifalockhart/antifasuccubus messaged me the following. there is a lot to unpack here so lets get started from what you’re saying and have posted, it seems youre operating under the assumption i made the callout post. i didnt. im not particularly offended you made this assumption and i can see why you would, seeing as i did follow and interact with you in the past. i unfollowed you before the callout was posted because i was feeling a bit uncomfortable with the asks you were responding to and i dont mess with my blacklist really, so i figured id just unfollow and follow back when your q&a was done. i didnt look into any of the hentai you had listed as your favorites because i didnt think much of it, i just kinda scrolled past it because hentai isnt really my cup of tea anyways. youve also implied in your response that this is because people are upset that you post about nsfw topics at all, which is not. i personally dont care that you post nsfw, while i dont post any on my blog i dont mind it on my dash. this is purely about you watching rape/cp.

i am truly sorry you had to go through that experience, it sounds horrific and absolutely terrifying. im glad youre away from that situation and are on a road to recovery, grooming is one of the most traumatic experiences one can go through and i think you continuing to try to live with it and move past it is brave. however. many people who do draw and write cp have also went through the same or very similar situations, and you seem to be implying that people who produce this content and say they have trauma are lying. im not defending them when i say this, but this is how you are coming across in these messages. trauma is hard to work through and i do not take issue with someone who does things like sexualize their trauma in private to work through what theyve been through. but you openly post about rape and cp in a way that endorses it. yes, openly claiming something as your favorite to someone who asks is endorsement. you dont have to specifically encourage people to seek it, the fact that you posted about it at all is already encouragement enough.

comparing you to someone who draws or writes cp is not a false equivalent. while it might upset you to read this, it’s the truth. these are not unsubstantiated claims either, you openly listed your favorite hentai, all of which featured rape, some of which involving underage characters, and at least one of which containing a graphic scene of a child kicking, screaming, crying, and bleeding. you cant claim to condemn people who make cp but also openly watch, endorse, and enjoy the very content they create in the first place. you cant have it both ways, thats not how any of this works.

i do not appreciate the implication that i do not take survivors seriously or empathize with them. the people who i do not empathize with are people who produce cp and consume it. and you consume it. this is not a lie nor does it lack evidence, the posts came from you. its really insidious of you to try to milk me for some pity when youre literally watching pedo shit.

i am comparing you to the people who traumatized you because you are normalizing cp and rape content by endorsing it. thats it.

lastly, id like to address your response to my ‘pannie apologist’ post

me saying ‘pannie apologist’ is a bit of an in joke in a discord server im in with some mutuals and should not be taken seriously. the rest of the post however is serious. your response is especially puzzling to me because you repeat a good portion of what it is, that not all pan people are inherently transphobic and not all bi people are free of transphobia. i am also a trans person, and i am also a trans person who has experienced transphobia from both pan and bi people, though it was likely with less severity seeing as i am tme. the bi community, as with any sexuality, has a transphobia problem and it is extremely disheartening. its because of that that i did id as pan myself for a while, because i felt ostracized and othered by members of the bi community.

this does not change that pansexuality originated in transphobia and biphobia. this does not change that it is a synonym for bi but with a more fucked up history. while bi people are very capable of transphobia, it is and was always meant to be inclusive to trans people the same way as any other sexuality. its a term that came from freud that characterized bi people as sex obsessed freaks (you know, the way biphobes tend to do) and gained popularity as a bdsm term as in implication that bi wasnt “inclusive” enough, which others trans people in a way that implies we need a whole separate sexuality just for “transexuals”. this is why i take issue with people who know about its source and still id as pan.

this will be my last post on this and about you in general. you can continue to stalk my blog but i think youll find it boring and unproductive. just dont fucking talk to me again.

in conclusion,

#csa tw #rape mention #cp tw #rape tw #pan discourse/#long post

pan story: I had a pan friend to whom i explained the origin of pansexuality (with how Freud coined it and all the like) and she started crying and saying that I was invalidating her identity which like. sorry that your identity stems from such a shit place but that ain't my fault

damn sorry pan history isnt convenient enough for them 😔✊ keep fighting the good fight legend

idk ive been seeing a lot of psychology hate lately and i just want to make a few things clear

a) therapy isnt just someone listening it is an entire skill set for the therapist to master as well as additional skill sets that they can work with you on. so no youre not just paying to vent like you would do to a friend

b) i am so sorry if your experience with therapy or psychology douchebags (whom are everywhere unfortunately) has turned you away from the subject. that shouldnt have happened to you especially when a large portion of the practical application of psych is to help people. you dont deserve to have your experiences invalidated and i hope you find an alternative way to process what you feel

c) freudian/traditional psychoanalytical practices are pretty much never used now and frankly if someone studies psych and doesnt think freud is a bitch you should run

Each network

Each network will ask you to fill out a brief bit of biographical information — list your interests, and try to sound fun — and then check a box or pull down a menu saying that you're 18 or above. You'll need to submit some sort of identification proving your age, but with standards low, laws international, and documents scanned, forging such a thing is a cinch, making underage cam girls a real problem.It is true that when I am up on stage I feel powerful. In my 7-inch heels and latex leotards and frilly skirts, my body feels beautiful in a way that I dont see it in everyday life, and I feel confident and empowered. When the music comes on, I go with it, when I dance it is natural and its fun. The money is ultimately what I am here for, but this isnt just something I do just to pay the rent. This is my art, and whilst I am making myself sexually desirable, nobody can objectify me, as I hold that power. I am in control, because I objectify myself, if you like."I teach them about fetishes - what a fetish is, why a person has one… We study Freud and a lot of psychology. And we study a book of gestures because women must be sensual, smart and beautiful.It is illegal in Romania for a man and woman to webcam together, but it is impossible to say how commonly the law is flouted in the way Oana describes. She went on to work as a prostitute in Germany, until she found the courage to return to Bucharest and a new life. Now she works in sex work prevention - talking to young women about her experiences, and trying to persuade them of the danger of video chat.

It also gives Domino a chance to indulge in her geeky professionalism: "I like being able to network with people who aren't my strip club customers, [and] it's a way for me to see how good I am at SEO and social media. This is fun for her. Domino says she's "always been a very sexual person," so while camming is tiring, of course, on-camera kink isn't onerous, if you can put the monotony aside.I'm definitely one of the cam girls who would hardly ever say no. I've always wanted to try new things, but that's not because I felt like I had to. It's just personally what I want to do. I want to tick stuff off my list, I want to try everything once especially when it comes to sex positivity. Even if it's something I'm not necessarily into, I'd still give it a go. If I didn't like it, I'd be like sorry, I'm not really into that. But there's a lot of people that would say no to a lot of stuff."I usually go for dresses, lingerie, or leather," she says.And that is not to say that there haven’t been bad times, like in any job. There have been mornings where I have come home with bruises all over my knees, my makeup sweated off, after a busy night. I have felt overworked and underappreciated by my bosses. Sometimes after a shift I have an overwhelming need to curl up in the arms of someone who loves me just because I crave that intimacy that I don’t get when I am at work because I am so self-sufficient there. And I am lucky that I have people who do love me, who can hold me after work and let me be still for a moment. I know that not everybody has that and I am never ungrateful for that privilege.

Domino wakes up at 8 am every morning and performs booked shows for clients paying between $US90 and $US120 an hour. That's about sixteen times her state minimum wage, and she doesn't have to leave her bedroom. If a client wants to book through MyFreeCams rather than sending money directly, Domino charges double. There's not a cent lost to a middle man. It seems like a pretty swell setup: "I love my job," Domino gushes. "I can work when I want to, as much as I want to, [and] nobody can tell me how to do my job. She's right. At her strip club, she was required to come in four to five days a week, spinning on a pole. Now, she can work all day. Or not at all. The last time we spoke, she was working on an ebook project, spending her time as she pleased.Inside the building, Studio 20 occupies the first and second floors. Forty rooms open off pristine, white corridors, their walls adorned with pictures of women in states of glamorous undress. A closed door means business. Inside that room a woman is live and direct via webcam with international clients - and as long as she is alone in the room, it is entirely legal. In this world of virtual relationships and cybersex, those in front of the camera are "models" and the men who watch are "members". The important thing is to keep a paying client online for as many minutes as possible.It is illegal in Romania for a man and woman to webcam together, but it is impossible to say how commonly the law is flouted in the way Oana describes.

thank you for answering my questions! i was worried id make you upset or smth ahshsj

1. thank you for explaining it succinctly! for some reason the internet was being useless hdjendndj

2. this is actually a very interesting theory that ill have to look into more! also for bpd, it makes a lot of sense seeing as the diagnostic criteria involves not having a clearly defined sense of self and dissociative episodes. oh, and people w bpd often do mistake their disorder for did/osdd as a result of those as well. very excited to look more into this aaaaaa

3. honestly? thats fair lol. personally i have very little respect for freud (the id, ego, and superego theory is smth that philosophically speaking i find interesting though), although i think jung's theories (and approach towards psychoanalysis) tend to be much more respectable. tbf though my understanding of jungs work isnt all too intensive (everything i know abt psychology is self researched, so i most definitely missed some things). all i know for a fact was that his beliefs were very... mystical, if that makes sense. if you have any good resources for learning about jungs persona theory or other similar concepts that would also be really helpful!

4. also completely understandable lol

im glad i found your blog! i found it through the personality101 drama (dont worry, very much anti proshipper and anti incest. i was very upset when i discovered that they supported those things :/. i just wanted to have good aspd/avpd comorbidity resources, since theyre so hard to find, and this is what i get for it 😔. word of advice: be sure to read peoples abouts lol), and im happy that i decided to look at the other side bc tbh it seems to be much more grounded in science (as in.. reads the content of studies...). i would hate to be misinformed, especially as someone who doesnt have did or osdd. sorry for my rambling though jdjdj, i hope you have a great day!

I find the id/ego/superego theory rather interesting as well, though I feel it only makes sense when put in the context of Jung’s persona theory. Speaking of, you can find it here!

The “mystical” seeming nature of Jung’s theories are actually what got me interested in further research. Might’ve been left over energy from when I researched various philosophical and theological approaches to happiness last year. Who knows.

And thank you! If you ever have more questions about DID/OSDD-1, I’m happy to answer them.

theory: freud is chronica is evan??

and this isnt just desperation i have proof

warning this is long as balls

Transcendent related

His disdain for transcendents not barring him from using time magic to seal off travelling prior to that point, which would require him to call upon Rhinne….unless he can do it himself.

Some transcendents reincarnate. *some.* And none of the ones we know of now do that, to our knowledge. So why would they just throw that tidbit in if it’s not relevant? Coughevancough. (relevance explained in heroes section*)

Freud was able to regain a memory that there was a sixth hero. Luminous, the one who is part transcendent, did not. Black Mage remembers Eun because, in his words, he is a transcendent. It’s possible that it is in fact because he made up the plan, but you think you’d remember almost giving up your entire existence for a spell, Lumi? And then suddenly not having to?

Of course there’s the possibility that Lumi’s lying about forgetting or that BM was lying about remembering because of transcendence but that’s a whole other can of worms…

I’m not discrediting him making the plan playing into this though, it could contribute and that’s why Freud remembered and not Luminous The Fragment Of The Transcendent That Remembers

Hero related

Prior to Heroes of Maple trying to make Eun’s situation into a curse, he was fully erased from history. Not only from memories, but from the physical situation of existence, given that he is erased from photographs and any trace of him left behind is erased as well. This is different from a curse, and even with Lucid’s help, Black Mage likely wouldn’t be able to literally obfuscate the past. Time powers could, and if Freud were Chronica his spell would be directly related to time.

Plus it is already, since it stopped anyone from travelling prior to that point.

If that were the case, wouldn’t this make recovering Eun’s existence next to impossible since you can’t change anything relating to the past anymore?

Even making it a curse it’s applicable, if just an extremely powerful curse. I can’t quite logic this part to much beyond pure speculation, but I do think that Freud had much more to do with the effects of this, considering that it was his spell.

Freud said himself that he remembered that there were six heroes since he himself designed the sealing spell!

*Relating to Evan and reincarnation. It’s an obvious conclusion to make that Evan is his reincarnation given that they look alike. It’s made more obvious by a direct connection that Evan does have to Freud- through Mir. Mir was Afrien’s egg, and thus probably(/definitelycuzalltheotheronyxdragonsgotmurdered) his child, and was intended to reinstate the soul bond. A reincarnation and the son of the guy who had a soul bond with the prior incarnation, it makes too much sense to be a coincidence and literally everyone knows it.

Lumi cited Freud as his intellectual match, and the only person ever to be such.

Mirror World related

This one goes in a few different places, so bear with me. In the Zero storyline, Alpha finds the transcript explaining transcendents that states that Rhinne and Alicia were “content in their roles”, and that Black Mage was not and begun chaos because of this. We know for a fact now that Black Mage was not content, not only as a transcendent but as a pawn of whatever greater power exists in Maple World. His methods are of course horrible and he’s the worst yadda yadda but he’s fighting against the system- something Freud is hinted at considering, from his conversation with Lumi. It would make for an interesting perspective, given that he himself is a transcendent, but then it could be that he feels guilty that the transcendence system is causing so much pain and suffering for the world he loves so much, and the only way for it to work is if all three are “content in their roles”, something they are not likely to be.

This is speculation, but it could make sense- could repeated interaction with humans and a closer connection to the world make a transcendent less “content”? We know that White Mage’s intentions were, originally, for the good of the world, trying to reform it into something peaceful, that eventually was corrupted. We also know that Alicia is supremely disconnected from humanity, seeing them as lesser than the other creatures and much worse. This disconnect could make her more content with her existence, with less curiosity regarding humans and the inner workings of the world and more focus on the other creatures. (This may intersect with information about Darmoor, since he’s both the transcendent of life and ruler of the lef he may have gotten too immersed in their life and gotten “discontent?”) Freud, loving Maple world, could have reincarnated himself as a human to learn more about humanity, and is growing discontent with the roles of transcendents seeing its effects as an insider as well as an outsider?

(This is kinda starting to sound like a Jesus thing, being born as a human but also still divine and knowing human pain and all that shit… I’ve jokingly compared him to Jesus before but this is ridiculous if true oh my god this would be the funniest thing if I’m right about any of this FREUD IS JESUS)

BACK TO MIRROR WORLD why was Freud in mirror world if he’s dead? And of all people that we know of? Sure, Phantom and Evan are there, but both of them are connected to those places in some way- Evan grew up in Henesys, and Phantom probably grew up in Ariant. And both are alive. As is everyone else we see in mirror world, younger or older or whatever. So why the fuck is Freud there? We also know for sure that it is in fact all based on the present day since there’s nobody from the past and Leafre isn’t full of demons (used to be demon land but they were forced out…) so why, out of everyone there, is Freud there if he’s dead?

Bit anecdotal, but they did have Freud there in the section where they introduced the idea of relics that help wield the power of the transcendents, and we got Lapis and Lazuli from this.

Could the Freud’s Journal quest somehow be slightly related to this? It’s a stretch, but the ring could be some kind of relic, since restoring it gives you a lil fairy kinda similar to Lapis & Lazuli…

This is a real reach, but in the Mirror World, the chief of Leafre called Freud an explorer, which is what Sugar was before it was revealed she was the spirit of Maple World or whatever…

Speaking of Sugar, do seal stones work into this? I doubt it a little, since you *need* five other people and he likely had those five other people...But then again, that’s quite a fantastic invention to realize how to make… I’m not sure.
