well this was meant to be varying perspective and form practice, but now i'm having an aneurysm over the sleeves

which is better left or right?

this is in no way important other than how I think I wanna draw his clothes in the future. I hate the right sleeve or drawing them at least

Friendly reminder that you dont need these things in order to shift:

A healthy mindset

Methods

Tracking your journey

Scripts

Motivation

Scrolling through shiftblr, shiftok, or other parts of the shifting community for advice

You just need yourself!

If I was able to shift to a parallel void reality/CR without planning it, you can shift to your DR. So what're you waiting for? Go shift!

Purloined letter theory

So now that we know that one of the new characters is based on Auguste Dupin let‘s look at the purloined letter.

For those who don’t know, Auguste Dupin is Poe’s detective archetype, vastly considered to be one of the first/if not the first. Arthur Conan Doyle even references him when introducing Sherlock Holmes. The purloined letter is the last Dupin story, but it’s the one I’ll be focusing on, because it fits so well here. Dupin is tasked with retrieving a letter that has been used to blackmail someone. Since we have just been introduced to the letter written by Lenore that has some juicy details in it, it makes sense to assume this is what’s going to come into play later.

The interesting bit is however the surrounding circumstances of the story. Because I don’t think the letter will be used to blackmail Lenore. See, in the original story the letter is specifically used to blackmail the queen. It’s Annabel who is consistently referred to as the queen.

The letter is stolen by someone only referred to as Minister D. Duke at least fits that naming scheme and he also has the letter already.

Shot in the dark here, but I think Duke will read the letter and instead of turning on Lenore will be trying to blackmail Annabel with it, threatening her to expose her double game to her team.

Dupin is then called in to retrieve the letter, in this case not for Lenore, but for Annabel.

decided to (re)watch a new hope bc it's been several years since i've seen it and i wasn't really paying that much attention to it when i did. this movie's fantastic. why did they stop making movies this good.

idk about you guys but i'm gonna miss this show so much ...

i had such low expectations because recently m4rvel hasn't really put out the greatest stuff ever (with a few honorable exceptions) but ... this show...

OH. MY. GOD.

everything was perfect - from the cast to the setting, from the plot all the way to the music, the themes developed and the references to past mcu projects. most importantly, the message it shares is, at the end, one of hope and love. no matter how hard things get, no matter how many trials you have to pass, no matter who you lose along the way or what you have to sacrifice, there is love and joy and hope at the end. you can make your dreams come true.

i'm sorry i'm just so emotional. maybe it's because i'm personally living a pretty challenging period of my life, but i guess i do treasure this series. i truly have loved everything about it and it definitely holds a special place in my heart from now on.
