On the one hand, it would make a lot of sense if Azem didn’t ever know the unsundered counterparts to Misede’s friends/the Scions, because the world is vast and all that.
But on the other hand, Azem is the traveler and also highly recognisable, also Misede has canonically met people associated not only with Azem herself, but also with multiple of her other past lives from the Source, and her shards as well. She is like a magnet, they are drawn to her from everywhere. She already has a history of befriending her Soul’s old friends, so its not unreasonable for similar to occur with reincarnations of said friends.
I don’t think all the Scions have ancients, but the ones with the Echo absolutely do, and I hc that G’raha and Tataru do as well. And Azem did know at least a handful of them well. She knew G’raha and Tataru’s ancients particularly well, and thus by association so did Emet-Selch. Which I think he knew full-well when he shot him. That wasn’t just the Exarch, the Warrior of Light’s frustratingly elusive and enigmatic catboy. That was also Azem’s highly annoying and persistent ex-lover turned ever-present friend. Who Hades did not get on with in all the many centuries of having to see him. Thus adding another dimension to the interaction where he proceeds to shoot his shard in the present day.
#Misede’s sister sienna’s ancient also knew azem#As did her partner celus’ albeit tentatively through a friend#Celus - being from the fifth astral era - also knew mise’s past life from his time as well#Azem shards having such a profound impact on people’s lives that it persists even after death#Shadowbringers spoilers#misede’s xiv ocs

Im so sick of people diagnosing strangers over the internet. You aren't their doctor, you probably don’t have a psychology degree or a social work degree or even a psy.d so why do you keep diagnoising people as narcisicsts with little to no information. Not every terrible person is a narcisicst, sometimes people have other issues. In fact some terrible people don't have mental health issues at all, they just suck! Stop trying use psychology. You're using it wrong and showing how biased you are and how little you value people with mental illness or issues
#damn#stop#not everyone who sucks is a narcisicst#it's like when people go omg I'm so ocd bc they like to organize a certain way#that's literally what it is to me except it's not the person saying I'm so ocd it's a stranger walking by your mise en place and going#you have ocd! when they have no evidence or experience or knowledge about the disorder or the person

Stop shit-talking cats when your blorbo is up against a cats character in a poll! Christ it's okay if you don't like cats but some of us do. and the fact it ran for 20 years on Broadway says that this is not an uncommon opinion.

having unnatural coloured hair is fun cuz even when it's faded and the roots are overgrown and it kinda looks like shit, you STILL get compliments on it
#eliot posts#tho when it genuinely looks good you get even more compliments#once i did a REALLY GREAT JOB dyeing my hair and styling it and i got like 6 compliments during a SINGLE GROCERY RUN#i would get occasional compliments on my hair before this bc my hair is nice and i care for it well (and esp in hs when it was super long)#but now the compliments are like weekly probably#(tho part of that is also seeing way more new people every day than i used to when i was younger)#sometimes it feels odd to have something so noticeable about me but part of me kinda likes it. helps ppl remember me i guess#lemme tell ya my faceblind ass would fare so much better if more folks had funky hair or AT LEAST weird fashion sense#tho this one time someone mised me up with ANOTHER green haired enby and started talking about danganronpa to me#and was confused when i said i'd never played the game bc they heard me talk about liking it before#yeah they mixed me up w someone else there but it was a fun chat nonetheless

I should probably come up with more details on it (but tbh I'm not great at that) for the teen drama Dorothea stars in, but the very bare-bones basics are:
--it's called One for the Money, set in New York, with only the first season taking place in high school (the overarching premise of the first season is two of the main characters transferring into the high school as seniors with the intention of conning their way into acceptance into Columbia University); seasons two through five see the core group through Columbia.
--the showrunner, Jason Cappara, stated that his reasoning for setting a teen drama more in college than high school was that most teen dramas act like these kids don't have parental supervision, homework, or actual class schedules anyway, so why not just put them in college a lot sooner. he also said that in his opinion, high school sucks anyway and even glamorized tv high school isn't as fun as glamorized tv college, and college is way more fun than high school.
--the vibes are similar to Gossip Girl (the og show) mixed with a little Beverly Hills 90210 and a little One Tree Hill, for irl show comparisons; the audience/ratings/cultural impact is probably comparable to irl Gossip Girl, the OC, or The Vampire Diaries.
--Dorothea's character is named Siobhan, and her dad is the Dean of Admissions at Columbia. Siobhan is a queen bee with a heart of gold type, a fan favorite who lots of fans think that it's Dorothea's performances that made Siobhan have as much depth as she did and evolved from what could have been one dimensional into what some considered the heart of the show (think like Brooke Davis from One Tree Hill).
--Near the end of season one, Siobhan started dating Connor (another of the core group of characters) after will-they-won't-they flirting all season, and by mid season two the shippers were convinced they were going to be endgame, until in the second from the last episode of season two, Connor was very unexpectedly killed off in what quickly made nearly every 'top most shocking/devastating tv deaths' list on the internet. (Showrunner Jason claimed it had been planned in advance, but it pretty clearly had not, considering there were some storylines that just got dropped without ever being tied up after Connor's death.) Ratings dropped temporarily for the first few episodes of the third season, and the remaining core cast was under a lot of pressure from the network to keep the viewer numbers. A few new cast members were added, drama and storylines were added, and got the show back on top.
--Midway through season three, Siobhan seduced one of her professors when she was failing a class and continued having an affair with her professor for longer than a lot of fans thought was necessary (with many fans thinking the entire storyline was unnecessary and uncomfortable). During that time, Dorothea seemed pretty careful with the press to not bash the storyline, but made several subtle comments that a lot of fans read (correctly) as her being very unhappy and uncomfortable with that storyline.
#miscellaneous things ( from the vault )#(...I'm making this post like i've actually watched teen dramas other than one tree hill and like 2 seasons of gossip girl.)#(don't judge me we didn't have tv when i was in high school ok lol)#(listen i've seen like parts/episodes/clips/etc from a bunch of teen dramas from other people's tvs in college)#(i sometimes feel like i should go back and watch all the teen dramas i missed it's like mising out on cultural references)#headcanons – ( write books about me )

today is my birthday! i’m 33 today and i have done an ungodly amount of stupid shit in my life that honestly probably should have gotten me killed. so here are 33 hard-won things i’ve learned that i wish someone had told me sooner.
whenever you buy an object, you are going to own that object for your entire life unless you make the conscious decision to throw it away or give it a new home. maybe other people don’t struggle with this as much as i do, but i’ve grown to become a little exhausted by finding a thing and realizing i don’t want it anymore, but i don’t have the energy or motivation to do anything with it. signed, a woman with a packed 10x10 storage unit who is now extremely hesitant to buy new things.
food, and by that i mean good food (and by that i don’t necessarily mean healthy food, but food of good quality that you love), is necessary to live, and buying it, preparing it, and eating it is not a chore. the sooner you accept this and make food a priority in your life, the healthier you’ll be.
speaking of food, not everything you buy should be the cheapest version of it. personally i’ve found it’s always worth it to splurge on good olive oil, butter, and canned tomatoes. for years i thought i was an awful cook because i was cooking with cheap, disgusting olive oil that made my food taste like shit.
speaking of food part 2, i can’t BELIEVE how long this took me to figure out, but mise en place is the real real. get your shit out and organized and prepped *before* you start cooking, even if it makes things take longer. and yes, it is always worth it to do the dishes as you go, which pisses me off.
when i was teaching myself how to cook and feeling daunted about it, the best advice i ever got was to aim to learn 15 recipes and then put them in rotation.
this is the most horrific and awful truth i have forced myself to accept: there may come a day you can no longer digest your favorite foods, and you will either have to stop eating them, or remain very close to a toilet. i’m sorry.
other people are always going to misperceive you and misunderstand you, sometimes willfully. other people’s opinions of you don’t actually have anything to do with you. they’re not your business, and you don’t have to worry about it or change yourself.
when innocuous or neutral things make you irrationally angry or upset, step back, realize you’re having a big reaction, and then when you’re ready, pay very close attention to the thing that upset you, because you’re about to learn something important about yourself.
a pill sorter can save your life. i don’t know how i managed my meds without one.
sometimes college is about learning stuff, and not about becoming something.
no matter how many perfectionist tendencies you have, it’s worth it to remind yourself that no matter how much of a mess you actually are, you deserve to be loved.
if you’re always forgetting to do important but tedious things, set an alarm and set aside one hour of each week, not to do the important tedious things, but to assess what needs to be done, and *schedule* the important tedious things for the following week. this literally changed my life.
during that hour, make a meal plan too. the point of doing this is condense the time in which you’re making decisions (what to do, what to eat, etc) so you don’t have to burden yourself with them throughout the week. decision fatigue is real. any way you can alleviate that is a good thing.
learn the difference between aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive, and assertive behavior. recognize when you’re being one of the first three, re-assess and aim for being assertive, even if it’s hard.
you can tell you’ve processed trauma, not when the traumatic thing stops upsetting you to think about, but when the traumatic thing takes up the same size in your brain as all your other memories.
if you’re one of those people who never seems to finish projects or follow through with things, there’s a chance you may just grow out of it naturally. until then, follow your interests and don’t feel bad about putting down a hobby to pick up another.
if you love stickers but have sticker anxiety, buy vinyl stickers. you can re-stick them.
there are only a few careers i can think of that you have to commit to early in life because getting the undergraduate credentials is a pain in the ass (teachers, doctors, and engineers, from my research). nearly everything else you can switch to later, which takes a LOT of pressure off having to figure out what you want to do with your life.
people say there’s no money in becoming an artist, writer, musician, etc. actually there’s a ton of money in all of those things, it’s just in the stuff other people want you to make and never what you want to make. it’s still worth it to develop the creative skill and not force yourself into business school because it’s more “practical” or whatever.
sleep when you’re tired. SLEEP WHEN YOU’RE TIRED. don’t beat yourself up about it, don’t tell yourself you shouldn’t be tired or that you’ve already slept too much, just take a fucking nap. you would never say “hm i’ve already had enough water today, therefore i should not be thirsty” so don’t treat sleep the same way.
when you build a piece of furniture from target or ikea or whatever, the first thing you should do is count all the little screws and things to make sure everything’s there that should be. it sucks to get halfway into putting something together only to find there’s a piece missing and you have to go buy it.
learn to travel by yourself, go out to eat by yourself, see a movie by yourself. in my early 20s i was scared to do these things, but i do them so often now i don’t even think about it. it’s the most fulfilling skill i’ve ever learned.
adding to the above, if you’re a people-pleaser, being alone is especially important, because you’ve probably developed the habit of making the people you’re with more comfortable and happy than yourself, and you’re missing a lot of the beautiful and interesting things around you. when you’re by yourself, you can focus on what *you* want without guilt.
sometimes you’ll want to break things off with a friend for reasons that are no one’s fault, and you don’t want it to be volatile or make a big thing of it, in which case the goal is to simply fade out of their life. it is okay to let people go.
shame is useless. get rid of it.
no matter how much of yourself you put into your art (or writing, or music, or whatever), when people criticize it, they are not criticizing you. they are having a reaction colored by their own tastes and perspectives. their opinion of your work has nothing to do with you. you don’t have to take everyone’s feedback. in fact you don’t have to take anyone’s feedback. the other side to this coin unfortunately is that compliments don’t have anything to do with you either. it’s good to accept this because it means you’ll stop seeking validation from other people and won’t let anyone else’s perspectives impact your work. anything nice anyone says about your work is merely a bonus to an already good thing.
if you’re an artist of any kind, take one day a year to look up opportunities like grants, funding, residencies, workshops, whatever. put the due dates of all of them on a calendar for the year following and get into the habit of applying for stuff. getting rejected sucks, application fees suck, but in all the years i’ve been doing this, it has always, always been worth it. these things give you a chance not only to help fund and support what you’re passionate about, but they force you to take your own work seriously, and that is something that’s absolutely necessary in order to be successful.
you must become your own greatest advocate. in all respects--in health, in love, in happiness, in freedom, you must. no one will ever fight as hard for you as you will. this in turn will give you the strength and motivation to help others fight for themselves too. the only way the world will ever get better is if every person on this planet learns to see themselves as equals to everyone around them.
brag about yourself as often as you can. for one, people develop their perceptions of you based on how you treat yourself and speak about yourself. but for two, it’s the fastest way to figure out which people to keep in your life, because they’re the ones who are going “oh hell yeah, you’re awesome.”
be the person other people want to brag to.
at some point in your life, someone is going to hurt you, and it’s going to be willful and intentional. it is not worth it to waste brain space figuring out why they did it or why you think you deserved it. all you have to do is let yourself feel that pain, acknowledge it, and try to move on.
no matter how bad off you think you are, recovery is possible. the first and hardest step is to learn you’re worth the time and effort it takes to recover from the awful things that have happened to you.
developing an expertise does not mean you’re getting objectively better at something. becoming an expert is only the process of seeing your mistakes and having the patience to sit in the discomfort of not knowing how to fix them.

The Batkids and The Arts (Feral Edition)
They’re all musical theatre nerds. Every single one of them. Bruce, Alfred, Dick, Cass, Jason, Steph, Tim, Duke, Damian. They go see Broadway shows together then don’t stop talking about it for like a week. It is the one bonding activity they will never pass up.
Jason and Steph once entered a ballroom dancing competition and won after some pompous rich kids insulted their moves during a gala. Since then, they’ve entered a competition every month or so just for fun. (And for the prize money :P)
Tim is an avid believer that Culinary Art is one of The Arts. (Can he cook? Absolutely not. It was Bernard that convinced him, but he stands by it.)
Duke talks through every single movie he watches. He always promises to be quiet at the beginning, but then he gets too excited and whispers commentary to the people around him. This habit has since bled into the entire family. They are no longer welcome at the local AMC.
Every single one of them is pretentious about something.
Dick is pretentious about any and all performance arts featured at the circus. Once, someone made a joke about going to “Clown School” and Dick screamed at them about how not even their pinky would have the privilege of being admitted into clown school.
Jason is pretentious about classic literature. They can no longer tell if his jokes and references to Shakespeare and Jane Austen are correct or if he’s just fucking with them.
Cass gets pretentious about martial arts being a performance art. She is also pretentious about ballet being a martial art. She could kill a man in fifth position without losing her balance, and that’s a fucking fact.
Stephanie is very good at acting pretentious about the arts. She absorbs everything she’s learned from the rest of the bat family’s interests then pretends to be pretentious about it to mock them while sneaking in just enough correct information so no one can call her out on it. (Her true interest is graphic design.)
Tim has no professional experience with photography, but he will be pretentious about it like he knows everything. (Bruce: Tim, why is there a filter on this evidence photo you took? Tim: I thought it looked nicer that way. Really makes the blood splatter pop.)
Duke isn’t exactly pretentious about writing, but he will lay down his life for the Oxford comma. (Bruce didn’t use it until Duke called the punctuation in his mission reports “insulting.” He now uses it.)
Damian is pretentious about studio art. If he ever hears his family or friends say, “I don’t get it,” at an art museum, he will make them look at it for five minutes as he explains in painstaking detail what’s so revolutionary about it.
The kids decided to take an improv class together once for their undercover work while Bruce and Alfred were out of town. It was so fun that they still play improv games when they’re bored.
Cass is secretly a metalhead.
Whenever one of the younger kids needs to write an English paper, they will just walk up to Jason, riddle off a dumb opinion about the book or poem they had to read, and record whatever Jason ends up lecturing them about. The most recent incident resulted in an award-winning paper about how the theory that William Shakespeare never wrote his own work is deeply rooted in classism.
Damian always has paint under his nails. It just never comes out.
Dick has personally taught everyone in the family how to do The Perfect Backflip. They all get a little ceremony once they’ve mastered it. There is cake.
Whenever Cass is standing around with nothing to do, she’ll practice her foot positions for ballet. The others always notice and follow her lead.
Jason: dramatically recites a poem in the living room Steph: starts beatboxing
Steph is always the first to find typos or continuity errors in a book, play, or movie. She doesn’t intend to; it’s just second nature to her. (She is now Duke’s official proofreader.)
Duke: So how’d you like the movie? Damian: I really loved the mise-en-scène, especially during the breakfast scene and that one shot near the end with the warehouse doors. Duke: *nods thoughtfully* Everyone Else Leaving the Theater: wtf is a meez on sen?
When Duke is finished writing something and wants to share it with his family, he’ll give it to Jason and Cass first.
Jason and Duke have frequent passionate arguments discussions about who is the best poet. Never bring up Dickinson, Poe, Shakespeare, Hughes, Plath, Wilde, Kipling, Sappho, or Angelou in their vicinity unless you want to start it up again.
Damian is surprisingly good at acting. Too good.
Dick knows your music taste before you do. He has a carefully curated playlist for every single family member, every possible combination of family members, and every possible mood at the ready.
They can and will correct anyone who mistakes Gothic architecture for Victorian or Gothic Revival and vice versa. (It’s really a Gotham thing.)
Tim: How dare you call The Grand Budapest Hotel the best prison break movie when it’s clearly The Shawshank Redemption! Jason: Well, as someone who’s BEEN TO PRISON, I think I should know! Dick: It’s clearly Chicken Run! You’re all just Chicken-ist. Duke: But what about Midnight Express?! That one’s so good! Steph: Has anyone mentioned Toy Story 3 yet? No? Damian, watching from the sidelines: I liked Escape from Alcatraz. Cass: Same.
There are several art pieces in the manor that have been positioned directly over top of bullet holes and other suspicious damages.
Damian and Duke made an animated short film once for the Gotham Film Festival. Dick and Cass were their models for the concept art. Tim did historical research. Jason helped Duke edit the storyboard, and Steph was the continuity supervisor. It was about a British super spy working for MI6 that saved the world in the late 70’s. It was titled Agent A.
