Delightful Baby Yoda Art By J Shari Ewing

watching fandoms you loved dissolve into absolute bullshit is so depressing. i’m done with the gatekeeping or people acting like they own a fandom, especially if they’re newer and completely disrupted everyone else’s peaceful dynamic. fandom isn’t about how popular you want to make yourself seem, or how exclusive you can make your group. and honestly? this is one of the main reasons why fandom is dying.

ACOSF Theories Pt. 2

Alright peeps it is time for more ACOSF theorizing so spoilers ahead!!

If we look at the Norse myths the Valkyries were Odin’s death maidens.  They rode from the sky on Pegasi and picked warriors from battle who were the best to be brough to Valhalla.  

However, as we saw in the prison scene there were people there trapped and forced within the rock.  Many people have started thinking that this is where the Pegasi came from and they began dying and then only a few dozen are left with Helion.  So we now have a new legion of Valkyries and the possibility of Nesta making an eight court, as already theorized, ruling that with the Valkyries who with Pegasi could be an aerial legion to rival the Illyrians.  With no allegiance to another court they could become the death maidens from Norse myths.

This started out as a doodle to wind down before bed but I got carried away and now it’s late... anyway I’ll probably do one of these for each of the sisters!

So I decided to make my own ACOTAR fancast because I've been seeing a lot of them lately, and I just can't understand why some people are casting white men as the bat boys. I've been seeing people casting Matthew Daddario and Tom Ellis as Azriel or Rhys and Henry Cavill as Cassian and I'm like???? The fancasts for Mor and Amren bother me a little, too, because they're usually pale. Amren is clearly described as having tan/brown skin, and although Mor is blonde, she also is described as having golden brown skin. Newsflash, people of color can be naturally blonde. If you want proof, look at Sofia Vergara.

However, I can understand why people might fancast Mor as a white woman because I know we don't often see blonde women of color, and when we hear that someone is blonde, we tend to just assume they are white as most blondes are white. But for me, there's no excuse for making Amren pale or have white skin. There are plenty of darker skinned East Asians out there, whose complexion unfortunately makes them targets of ridicule because of colorism in Asia. I understand that people aren't doing this with harmful intentions, but I just wanted to point this out because it is problematic. It is especially frustrating to me as a person of color to see white people being cast as my fellow POCs, so I made my own fancast. I hope you guys enjoy!

Akash Kumar as Rhys & Lauren de Graaf as Feyre

Vito Basso as Cassian & Yulia Rose as Nesta

Marlon Teixeira as Azriel & Bridget Satterlee as Elain (The prettiest couple in Prythian✨)

Zeline Prabowo as Amren & Sierra Skye as Morrigan

Rania Benchegra as Emerie & Madeline Ford as Gwyn (My babies 🥺)

I hope you guys enjoyed my fancast! And please for the love of god stop casting white men as the bat boys. Please. It literally shaves 10 years off my lifespan whenever I see it.

EVERMORE

It feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives.

Hii angels ! I wanted to create this personally for me, and for all of you. 2020 was difficult, and moving on from that can require some major self reflection & work. Here’s how I’ll be working on myself & how you can too. 💗

Your Style/Aesthetic 🌸

Your style & aesthetic is important to YOU it’s how you go about buying yourself things, how you look at life, and what makes you unique ! Since 2021 is a new year, you may want to look into different styles & aesthetics that feel more fresh.

How to find your own (new) aesthetic and style :

Create lookbooks in your journal or pinterest.

Here’s an example of something I made :

When you find yourself ‘drawn’ to a certain piece of clothing, know that’s what you’re interested in ! Take note of it.

Go through your wardrobe & sell things that just aren’t your style anymore. After this you can use that money to buy clothes according to your potential new style.

Write down an ‘essentials’ list of all the pieces you KNOW you need. For example :

Plain ribbed crop top in white, black, and pink.

Knowing what colors you want in your wardrobe is very important. Like before, choose what you’re drawn to. Here’s some prissy girl essentials by @dreamgrlarchive

If you’re into this blog’s style, or the ‘pink & pretty glam’ style then check out this bratz style guide by @dreamgrlarchive 💗

Your Mental Health 🌸

I created a diagram for you to know what should & shouldn’t occupy your mind ! That’s you in the middle. Here’s what each thing represents :

What SHOULD be occupying your mind :

Nails - Taking care of yourself & participating in self care !

Water & Strawberries - Your health. Eating good and keeping yourself hydrated. Keep that in your mind ALWAYS.

Diary - Your journey as YOU. What are your current goals ? What makes you happy ? You should be writing this down somewhere. Either in your journal or phone.

Youtube - Watching positive people who inspire & motivate you.

What SHOULDN’T be occupying your mind :

Boys - Dudes who DON’T respect you & that waste your time, energy, and emotions.

Instagram - Social media influencers who cause you to compare yourself to them, toxic mutuals, and people you don’t like.

Clock - The past, don’t focus on the negative things in your past. When I say this I mean, don’t dwell on it. Journaling is a different story.

Mean girls - This just represents mean people in general, if someone doesn’t like you or says spiteful things about you, that’s not your problem. It’s their’s ! Forgive them and remain UNBOTHERED !

Try to re-program you brain to think like this ! It’ll protect your peace & happiness 💗.

Your Routines & Schedules 🌸

Your routines and schedules keep you accountable & on track. Creating a new routine for yourself can change your whole outlook on life !

Things to create / work on / fix :

Your sleeping schedule

Your workout routine

Morning + night skincare routine

Sunday reset ( laundry, cleaning your space, nail fill )

Affirmations / manifesting

How to go about these things :

Your sleeping schedule - Move your phone away from your bed. Keep yourself occupied ALL day until you go to sleep. ( so you’re not full of energy when you go to sleep )

Your workout routine - Download my workout planner here ( it’s free ) Watching youtube videos on workout exercises to find what works for you, and figuring out a realistic body goal is the best way to go. Learn more about diet & physique on this post by @dreamgrlarchive as well.

Morning + Night skincare routine - Watch skincare enthusiasts on Youtube and find products that’ll work for you. Also these posts :

Sunday reset - Create a cleaning routine for your space and do this every sunday. Also a spa/nail routine can be added. My cleaning routine post is here

Affirmations / manifesting - If you’re interested in this, I recommend getting a journal dedicated to it. Find a good set of affirmations, write them, then read them out loud whenever you want. As for manifesting, you can read this post by @mulabby

Always remember to treat yourself like a princess !

Here’s a list of affirmations I’ve created for you all

Selfcare & Behavior 🌸

The way you carry & take care of yourself is very important. You want to be respected and valued, you deserve it ! Acting a sophisticated way is important, but controlling who you give your energy to is just as important.

Things that help you show confidence :

Good posture

Eye contact

Acknowledging the other person’s statements/body language

Important selfcare tips for going out/presenting yourself to the public :

Wearing your staple perfume/mist

Brushed teeth, with a mint or gum

Wearing clean, wrinkle free, clothing that compliments your body

Wearing a mask lol

( I do this even if I’m inside )

Self care habits that don’t involve products :

Reading affirmations to yourself

Journaling good and bad things everyday ( self reflection )

Staying hydrated

Your behavior

Don’t talk down or bad about others. Even if they do you wrong, keeping your thoughts to yourself and journaling them can save a lot of trouble, misconception, and self sabotage.

Just because you’re kind and respectful, doesn’t mean you have to be friendly and approachable. For jobs, yes that’s important obv, but when you’re out and about you have no obligation to feel other’s insecure, jealous energy.

There’s three main things to make sure your behavior and atitude is healthy :

*disclaimer: this applies to people you’re looking into becoming friends/aquatinted with*

Respect. Respect other people’s boundaries, choices, and journey. It’s not cute to be a toxic ‘idgaf about you’ person. Treat people how you would like to be treated.

Kindness. Dont judge others by their looks, if someone is a genuine person asking you something or coming to you for guidance, even if you’re declining, still be kind.

Understanding. Being understanding of someone else’s position & feeling empathy for others. This goes back to treating others the way you would like to be treated. Empathy is very important in every friendship, you want to comfort them & be involved with their ups and downs, it creates a stronger bond.

Be careful with who you’re involving yourself with ! If you get an off feeling, take a step back and remind yourself of your boundaries. 💗

I hope you enjoyed this post, I wanted to make lil collages n stuff. Lmk if you need help with anything else, my inbox is open. Mwah. 💓
