There's Just Something About These Lights That Make Me Appreciate Their Beauty And Designs Thought They

I’ve been thinking about Howl’s Moving Castle and how Sophie’s curse is a physical symbol of her self belief of being romantically unlovable (especially after growing up with beautiful, sought after women in her family.) How Howl tries to undo the curse the moment she steps into his castle but he *cant* because Sophie doesn’t want it to be broken. How, in the film, Sophie gets so close to breaking the curse in the field, but hearing Howl call her beautiful went against her self views, so she reinforces her sense of self by turning 90 again.

And the way that her love and kindness make her younger again and again. How film Sophie sacrifices her long hair, perhaps what past Sophie would have seen as her only beauty, for Howl but she’s grown so much that she still remains young, perhaps even confident about her grey hair, showing that Sophie no longer links her appearance to her lovability or worth and she learned to accept herself as she is. In this essay I-

Please. Please please please read this and reblog!

If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.

If you cant read this, here it is: 

If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database. Her intentions with this are harmful.

She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions. And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love. She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is. An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does. Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks. Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions.========This disgusting excuse of a human being of needs to stop, but the only way it can be stopped is if you spread this! Please, be aware of any suspicious people or anons asking for personal information. It can get you or your loved ones in SERIOUS DANGER. Thank you.

Good Traits Gone Bad

Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:

1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.

2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.

3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.

4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.

6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.

7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.

8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.

9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.

10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.

These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.

Happy writing!

i was trying to collect more shitty ms paint doodles we all use and vibe with and then i realize i also have ms paint and can just MAKE some 

Collection of images and memes for anyone who doesn’t know what to draw

Can I request 💚, 💓, and 🎲 with Amber, Hu Tao and Yanfei for your 100 followers event?

💚- When they’re jealous

💓- When they first know about their feelings about you

🎲- random stuff that i will instantly think of

💚gets all pouty when she’s jealous. Poor baby knows that you think of her as your girlfriend, but she can’t help it, that feeling of jealousy. May throw herself into her Outrider duties to ignore that negative feeling of hers. Do expect her to be more clingy, more kissy, and more cuddly for the next few days though, in order to comfort this poor girl, even if you don’t know what is wrong. Amber just doesn’t want to lose her number 1 supporter of rebuilding the Outrider division. She wants you to be there when she finally does it.

💓She first knew it when you, her friend and fellow competitive glider, beat her in the Annual Gliding competition for a consecutive 3rd time that year. You always loved being with the wind, and had sworn that after beating her, the reigning champion, three times, you would leave Mondstadt and explore the world, and take part in grander gliding competitions in Teyvat, starting with the Annual Liyue Gliding competition that was up next year. She always knew that you would leave, and you would be gliding off, so really, why did she want to beg you to stay?

As tears fell upon her eyes that very night, all the pieces that had slowly assembled, from the very first time you won, crystallized into the very fact that presents in front of her.

She loves you, but now that you’re leaving, who is she to hold you back from your dream?

🎲It’s speculation, but maybe, before her grandfather left, her favourite color was white. In the manga, her ribbon was mainly white, and had more variation in color, and white really suits her! It’s like signifying her innocence, and her pure outlook towards life.

I believed it changed to red ever since her grandfather left, because red was the colour she associated with her grandfather and the Outriders. And the moment she realized that instead of waiting for others’ instructions, she should forge her own path, she received the Pyro vision that we all know she now possesses.

💚She’s strangely not! I think it stems from the fact that she knows that many people don’t like her in the first place, so to have you, someone who loves her, essentially tells her that, you really do love her and only her, so generally, she’s very chill when it comes to jealousy.

Still though, should someone flirt with you, she’ll instantly be straightforwardly pranking them as much as she can, driving them away. That’s not a good thing though, so do work it out with her, okay? She’s still human, with feelings. She can feel jealous from time to time as well.

💓 answered, here's the link!

🎲 Personally, I feel the reason that Hu Tao pranks others is because she wants attention from others. She reminds me of Usopp from One Piece, who parodied the Boy who Cries Wolf (a/n I should really get back to one piece it’s so good but idk where I am anymore)

Pranking, even if it attracts negative attention and gives her a negative reputation, would at least ensure that when she’s gone, she knows that there will be someone to remember her.

@spookii-does-stuff yes because I love feeding my mutual crumbs

But if you’re her lover, she actually does not prank you that much. She does, just not that frequent, or that seriously. That’s because when it comes to you, you already give her your complete attention, no matter what she is doing. Her heart always beats so fast when you’re around as a result, grateful that there’s someone who unconditionally and willingly loves her for who she is, and the front she puts up.

💚  Wouldn't outwardly react or show anything. After all, if it happens once in a while or you have directly rejected their advances, then it should be fine.

However, if you didn’t successfully reject your suitor, Yanfei would begin to have doubts on your loyalty to her. If you start spending more time with them for some weird reason, that’s when she starts trying to find out what you’re up to something, not once admitting that she’s jealous. She fears the worst, that you’re cheating on her. This would lead to a fight that will remind her of all the civil cases that she’s faced, and it’ll be the most heartbreaking “case” she’ll ever have to take on. She’s too scared that you will break the fragile pieces of her heart, and she’ll be alone, like how her parents left.

💓- it’s when you two celebrated the Lantern Rite festival together. Back then, despite her knowledge about the law, she wasn’t so sure how to describe the feeling of butterflies around you, or how she was so conscious about your every movement around her. As she was born in the era of peace, while she was aware of the frivolous feeling of love, she had not fully experienced a romantic love, but only the familial love that her parents and the Adepti showered on her.

That night, as you both wrote your wishes on the Mingxiao lantern, she unconsciously wrote her wish while staring at your concentrated face, thinking about your own wish. She wrote:

“I want y/n to be happy.”

It took her a good minute to fully process what she wrote, and her face instantly turned as red as her vision. Her hands stretched out to wipe the wish away, but eventually stopped mid-air.

“I.. I can’t do this. I want y/n to be happy. But it’s just friends, right? Why do I feel like there’s more to it?”

“Hey, Yanfei, what did you wish for?”

“Hmm, nothing much, just something about law again,” she nervously chuckles, grasping at her skirt, trying to still her furiously beating heart. “What about you?”

“I wished for something for someone I fell for, so I can’t tell you, teehee!”

What was this pain? Didn’t she think of you as just a friend?

Deep down, she knew at that split moment. She was in love with you. But now, it seemed that she has no chance.

So lost in her thoughts at that moment, she didn’t notice how you stared at her adoringly, your eyes softening under the light of the lanterns.

“Ahhh, that’s nice! Who is it?”

“Hehe, not telling ya!”

Ah, how love hurts.

🎲- Yanfei has mentioned that should she not be a lawyer, she would be a rapper. But I personally feel that she’ll not be a really good rapper at least immediately, or even after a long while. Yes, Yanfei can speak really, really fast. This I cannot deny, for it is really really hot. Not only does she have to speak fast, she also has to take note of the pitch, the rhythm, and also, creativity. Yanfei strikes me as someone who likes freedom provided that there are rules that ensure such freedom is not excessive or too little, and well, I can’t personally see creativity when it comes to music to her, at the beginning. I feel that though, if she works with Xinyan, who most definitely has musical talent, Yanfei would be able to grow as a rapper, and become better eventually. It takes experience, but for Yanfei, who has always lived in a mostly similar lifestyle so far, I do not see such experience yet, compared to Xiao, Ganyu and Zhongli, who have experienced more events than her.
