𝒾 𝒶m A Thousand Molten Stars,

i want to post one of my drs so so bad but it’s so niche literally no one would give a gaf

Hobbies you can have in your dr

(that isn't just crocheting and reading)

play an instrument (harp, violin, piano, guitar or even more traditional instruments like zither (and so much more))

ceramics/pottery/air clay (ceramics is my personal favorite because you can make jewelry out of it)

scrapbooking/junk journal (i love junk journal because it's much more laid back/doesn't require much effort or even buying material, everywhere you visit, just take smth free like a business card or sticker and add)

edit your own magazine (my dream)

collect something (watches, jewelry, figurines, POST STAMPS, perfume, trinkets, magazines, lamps, posters, comic books, etc)

collect insects (it's a little unethical to kill a large amount of insect species that are a significant part of the environment purely for display so i think keeping a picture of them or finding and freezing already dead bugs are the better alternatives)

sports (fencing, ice skating, badminton, football, baseball, rock climbing, tennis, archery, snowboarding etc)

martial arts (ju jitsu, taekwondo, karate, wushu, judo, tai chi, muay thai, hapkido etc)

pool table (idk it's fun)

volunteering (animal shelters, soup kitchens etc)

herbalism (live out your witch in a cottage dream)

making jewelry (this can also be profitable)

researching/learning (choose smth you're interested in like entomology and learn about it)

wannabe journalism (basically writing, choose a topic like an art movement and write a mildly bad but enjoyable article about it)

make mockumentaries (time consuming but so cool)

flower pressing (so cute i love it)

sewing (it's fun and useful)

sketching as a form of photography (sketch any place you visit in real time as memorabilia, like a river with ducks floating or people walking past a tourist attraction)

traveling (visit cool hotels or airbnbs (like a private cabin on a ski resort or a large treehouse)) visit animal cafes, maybe also travel vlogging)

recycling your old stuff (making paper from used work sheets, make a new outfit/whatever you want out of old clothes you've grown out of)

will come back to edit if i find more, feel free (pls) add more ideas if you have any<3

what giving up on shifting would feel like

Where’s Anthony joke in the year of our lord 2024

it’s another level of friend breakup when u remove them from ur scripts 😭

POLITE SCRUNGLY CAT SPOTTED ON VACATION

I reblogged this a little bit ago; I'm thinking about luffy and shanks now, so this is just a surface-level rambling post about them:

the red hair pirates weren't around often, but op is of course littered with examples of choices luffy makes based on what he absorbed from shanks and his crew- significant, very core beliefs about people and piracy. baby king was in his hardcore formative years and had some pretty impactful experiences as he hovered around, and tagged along with those guys. some are explicit situations (like jaya island) and some are scenes with an implicit "I see shanks in him" vibe. now grown-up luffy totally runs parallel to uncle shanks in a number of cool ways, but I'm always tickled in the sense that these two are like, insanely unassuming but equally both legendary and wildly powerful: Folks think one's an idiot and that the other's a drunk hippie but they're both emperors with larger than life personas, who kick the shit out of people and who upset the ruling order regularly- a really entertaining and compelling combination.

the scene ending the summit war was unbelievable: mihawk, sengoku and anyone watching red force arrive essentially froze and braced themselves. and his strength on display during his strike against the kid pirates (only after being provoked). and his assistance from afar on wano. absolutely shanks is feared and respected in an almost reverential way, but the day before, he was probably hanging upside down hanging from the mast, singing a pirate tune off-key and fudging up the lyrics- benn had to climb up there and get him down. and after that he probably rolled up to one of the islands under his protection and scared off some terrorizing hooligans. he's so rad. then luffy- scrappier and more chaos-inducing, lord what's this kid gonna do next kind of thing, but respect for his exploits and a sense of dread when he does his thing are mounting exponentially. he doesn't mimick shanks- luffy's his own wacky ass luffy, but a few pieces of shanks are fused to, and encouraging for, his carefree spirit. no other emperor in the past had, or presently has, a bent like those two in conclusion: shanks and luffy are the chillest whatever dudes with terrifying kill switches- from nose picking and spaced out jolly hangtime straight to masterful haki street fighting mortal kombatant boys in 0.03 seconds and I can't tell you how much I love that

and the sandals. the wearing of the damn sandals. freedom on the high seas = sandals

When someone asks me why I want to permashift I typically say because I want to be with my comfort characters.

But on a deeper level I’d say I want to permashift because of how disgusting this world is towards women. Once I started realizing that literally every man I know has said something misogynistic I realized ya’ll were being for real when saying “most men”. I feel as there is no hope for women here, at least not with the way men are stirring today. Misogyny is so deeply woven through society that I even struggle imagining how life would be without it. I sometimes wish I could go back to being oblivious to this bigotry, I also think this is why a lot of women push back on feminism because it really brings an awareness to one’s self that life isn’t going to treat you the same. The sexualization in particular is something that really upsets me. The way movies and shows always have female nudity, the way women are posed in ads or magazines. It’s like we cannot be just human. The way everyone manages to point their finger to a woman every single time something happens, including women. Misogyny is so bad in our culture that even women are against women. Men’s needs will always be put over women’s needs whether its standards or medically. This is a topic that plagues my mind everyday and gets me incredibly upset, so much so that it’s my biggest motivation to permashift.

the way i am that girl that sits in the corner of the classroom and has a book in her hand at all times in my better cr. oh to be disgustingly well-read .

I can't believe I'm literally using food as motivation to shift, but...

I MEAN- LOOK AT THIS!
