me as a reader: ACOMAF has issues.
me as a writer: wow, ACOMAF has issues.
me, who threw this book at a wall: Does ACOMAF have more issues than Vogue?
still me: hey internet, how many issues of Vogue have ever been published?
internet: 1,250,845 issues of vogue have been published and are in circulation today
me: that sounds accurate.
hi! i have a question about tarot because i'm confused.
ok maybe 2 questions, but please bear with me cause i cant articulate them to save my life.
if you ask a question that could be a yes or no, like "is this person in love with me," and you get different cards let's say all signalling a yes, like their traditional yes or no meaning in tarot is a yes, but say one of cards also has friendship as a potential meaning. is the overall interpretation a yes x is in love with me, and i ignore the card meaning friendship because it simply stands as a yes in this spread, or like it's more nuanced and it becomes a yes it's romantic but also there's friendship, as in you take into consideration the meaning of the cards BUT they compliment the overall yes/no energy not override it.
another question: if u get a mix of yes and no cards in a reading, what dat meaaan. do i look for a major arcana and that overrides the rest of the cards, or is it like a "this is complicated"? or i count how many cards signal yes/no?
bcuz i got two readings for the same question and got a yes, and another where it was 2 cards meaning yes and a 10 of swords and im confused (my question was the same: is he in love with me)
well, using tarot cards just as an answering machine is wrong. you're not just demanding answers, you're using tarot to communicate. that's why simple yes/no questions are tricky. you never just get a simple yes/no without any further meaning. so it's up to the reader to understand the notion/message correctly
asking the same question again and again won't give you more clarity in most cases. instead you will receive additional messages and perhaps unprompted advice, eg., stop otherthink, accept the finality, stop listening to your fears/doubts/insecurities - and if you just use a tunnel vision, only focused on interpreting these cards as yes/no to your question... you would see it perhaps as a negative or mixed answer then, eventhough it was positive at first, like in your case. you simply misinterpreted it. not learning the lesson from the advice.
so, let's look at the pov from the other side: you asked for the truth, and you received the truth the first time. but you appearantly weren't ready to handle it. you gave in to your doubts and asked again - why would they now simply give the same message that you obviously weren't able to handle the first time? for them, it seems like you need additional guidance too, so they give you guidance. but now you're also not able to understand them correctly... what now? perhaps you're just not ready for it (yet). regardless of what they would try to communicate to you as long as you persist on your tunnel vision...
of course, everybody has their own doubts, we're human. but i believe we should learn to see when we're overstepping boundaries. while communicating, you should be respectful. as i said already, tarot is a communication tool. are you being respectful to the being you're asking these questions too. or do you want them to throw out the answers you want like a machine?
a good relationship to the being you're asking your question to can improve understanding. treat them with respect and be honest with your fears/doubts and maybe ask for help with understanding. maybe you need to pose your questions differently, so that YOU are able to understand the answer better. i assume you're still pretty young....so my advice is: get to know yourself better, listen to your intuition. and take this a bit more serious
in your case, it might perhaps worth it to maybe try talking to the person irl you're inquiring about? - they will know their feelings better than any other entity. on a side note, also be respectful to the person you're trying to get a sneak peak into their inner world? feelings of love are rather precious and if that person didn't make it clear to you, maybe they don't want you to know? please keep such things also in mind. tarot is not for 'spying', it was meant to use to learn, get guidance to help and improve...
“I wanted him to stay here with me,” Lady Stark said softly. Jon watched her, wary. She was not even looking at him. She was talking to him, but for a part of her, it was as though he were not even in the room. “I prayed for it,” she said dully. “He was my special boy. I went to the sept and prayed seven times to the seven faces of god that Ned would change his mind and leave him here with me. Sometimes prayers are answered.” Jon did not know what to say. “It wasn’t your fault,” he managed after an awkward silence. Her eyes found him. They were full of poison. “I need none of your absolution, bastard.” Jon lowered his eyes. She was cradling one of Bran’s hands. He took the other, squeezed it. Fingers like the bones of birds. “Good-bye,” he said. He was at the door when she called out to him. “Jon,” she said. He should have kept going, but she had never called him by his name before. He turned to find her looking at his face, as if she were seeing it for the first time. “Yes?” he said. “It should have been you,” she told him. Then she turned back to Bran and began to weep, her whole body shaking with the sobs. Jon had never seen her cry before.
A Game of Thrones- Chapter 10 (George R. R. Martin)
Yeah, I don't care Catelyn is distressed, the hatred's already been there. There's no excuse to say shit like this to a child (and she still sees Robb as a child, so Jon should be one in her eyes too). And using his name for the first time?! Don't tell me that wasn't intentional.
This might be the last time Jon'll ever see her son he obviously cares about, so she takes out her helplessness on him.
If Jon's such a thorn in her side, why doesn't she hate Ned?! Oh, yeah, because he's her beloved Lord husband, so she can't resent him for his manly urges, only his stubborn care for the result. And not enough to wish him crippled.
Catelyn's hurting and feeling guilty, so she hurts the person, who won't fight back or seek support. Low hanging fruit, kicking puppies and such.
And Jon isn't merely kind, he lies for her sake, and feels for her. He's a better person, than I.
Robb knew something was wrong. “My mother …” “She was … very kind,” Jon told him. Robb looked relieved. “Good.”
Looking through old author interviews and I’m so interested in this question:
When you’re pushing the limits of character or situation, what ineffable traits of Katniss and Peeta/Everlark do you keep intact to preserve their characters?
for ao3 relationship tags, for one that includes multiple couples (i.e. ones with completely different characters in the same fandom, see below for examples), of which only the FIRST romantic/sexual relationship is really shown or detailed, would you rather someone:
not tag the other ships with the “/” tag
tag the other ship with the “/” tag
tag the other ships in author tag rambles
not use any tag indicating the other relationships, it’s a surprise
use the “mentioned” or “background” beginning for the relationship tag
other (reblog or comment to share)
example for a dc fic: dick grayson/koriand’r, bruce wayne/selina kyle, wally west/linda park
example for an arcane fic: ekko/jinx, caitlyn/vi, mel/jayce
I love CBYMM so much, you're so talented 💖
Can I ask a question? I'm so curious of how far they've gone into the relationship, I mean it seems like they never done it, but they're so comfortable in sleeping together and then in the last chapter he was shirtless and she in just her shirt and it was no big deal so like it has me wondering, if it happened and you just didn't focused on it because it was irrelevant to your plot and all...
thank you!
hmm, at this point, i'm kind of leaving it up to the readers if they want to imagine that Indigo and Mingi have shared coital relations. I don't want to insist that they have or haven't done it since it isn't all that relevant to the plot at this point in time.
