I love your blog and whenever I see your posts it brightens up my day! Tbh you’re probably my favorite thing about tumblr, it’s really nice to see good and wholesome jokes, and you do them so consistently!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post of yours that I didn’t love. I hope this wasn’t too odd, and I hope you have a day as lovely as you!! (Which is pretty damn lovely)

Aw thank you! I hope you have(/had) a lovely day too! <3 <3

Hey I am definitely interested in the song association if you’re not too swamped already. I’ll leave a review quickly, and if you ever want a tarot reading feel free to hit me up

Honestly??? I thought of this meme- I’m Your Butterfly Nightcore 

Something catchy with some meme value; high notes and fast tech. Not too fast though (dude there’s. so fucking many nightcore versions of Butterfly)

Butterfly is a bit too blue though...you need something more. Pink, maybe yellow and orange sounding. Like this! Boba Beach Apparently it’s also a meme?? 

Please remember to review~ And make sure to follow my readings blog, @duelingdestinies!

SONG ASSOCIATION READINGS CLOSED

Ah I'm really happy you like it!! I wasn't sure if it was rude commissioning someone else's OCs, but I didn't think you'd mind and I didn't want to ruin the surprise :) I've actually been wanting to get it commissioned for a while, and since I'm rereading the series (again...) it was on my mind more. Plus since the holidays are coming up, I thought it could be a good gift, both for you and me! I wish you all the best and hope you're doing well! :)

It absolutely wasn’t rude at all, it is honestly one of the sweetest gifts ever! Thank you again!!! It’s beautiful and honestly one of the most validating, heartwarming surprises I could imagine. 💖💖

(Pssst, if you haven’t seen it yet, y’all should take a look at the gorgeous art Celestia commissioned from @punskiplupp of Brina and Zeno!)

I just wanted to say that I really respect you as a person. There's a lot of really ingrained issues in the tarot / pagan community, and you really push back and fight to have those issues removed. You very clearly speak up for important issues, and make sure your voice is heard, and I think it's really cool and admirable. Anyway, thank you very much for all the hard work you do in trying to make the world even a bit better. I hope this isn't too weird, and I hope you have a good day!

Well it’s night now so I’ll have this transfer over to tomorrow. Thank you :D

Hello, I hope this isn't too weird, but I'm curious about what your opinions on Dorne are, in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones? Dorne is my absolute favorite house in and has my favorite characters (other than Sansa) and from what I've seen I hate how they're portrayed in the show, but no one else seems to care at all :/ I hope this isn't too weird or confusing, but your opinions and comments are flawless and I hope you have a lovely day / night!

Thank you so much!! And i love questions like these! And trust me people care i just think the ASOIAF fandom is just over it at this point we’ve stopped mentioning it.

So House Martell oh where to begin with the most fucking underrated and badass house to ever exist. 

I love dorne!! It’s easily the most interesting and beautiful location, and home to the martells the most badASS mother fuckers to ever walk the earth of westeros. Like these people kept out DRAGONS and the targaryen armies during the conquest (not even the starks or lannisters could say that) and they’re the most progressive kingdom in westeros. The history behind them is just so vast and fucking cool (like nymeria anyone?) that it was one of the things i was most excited to see portrayed in Season 4 of GOT, and easily the biggest let down for me of the entire series. Pedro Pascal portrayed oberyn fantastically, and i really liked the direction they were going (even if they were over sexualizing it in my opinion). I had high hopes seeing that Arainne and Doran are 6 and 4 on my list of favorite GOT characters, and they even casted the actor literally EVERYONE wanted to play doran and i was ecstatic! That was until we got the rumor that Arainne Martell was not going to appear in the show. This was the moment i think i questioned all of my life choices that led to devoting an entire blog to this HBO piece of shit. But should we really have expected them to accurately portray one of the strongest (if not tHE strongest) female characters in the entire asoiaf series? The answer is NO. 

My favorite part of A Feast for Crows by FAR was Arainne’s chapters and frankly her and doran’s dynamic is one of my favorite of the entire ASOIAF series. She is one of the most beautifully flawed characters and i LOVED seeing her attempt (and fail miserably tbh) to play the game of thrones. The storyline of her trying to crown myrcella in her quest for the revenge of oberyn was brilliant (if futile) and imagine my FUCKING surprise (there was none) where instead of going the fucking complex route they have ELIA kill myrcella in a fucking dumbass move that made.no.sense. It cOMPLETELY SHIT on EVERYTHING that i loved about the Dorne storyline in the novels! In the show these people are portrayed as IDIOTS. But in reality the martells are probably one of the smartest and most cunning houses and their storyline is brilliant because it’s surprisingly SUBTLE. Dorne has SO many things going on at once it could honestly be it’s own book series.  The brilliance of it is that these people who the world view as rash and impulsive (see: arainne and oberyn) and are only portrayed as such in the show also produced one of the best and most complex characters i’ve ever scene which is DORAN MARTELL. 

dorAN MOTHER. FUCKING. MARTELL. i could rant about this fucking bad ass bitch for HOURS!! He’s the complete opposite of oberyn, and he’s 100% more effective when it comes to playing the game of thrones. This motherfucker takes every trope in fantasy novels and turns it on it’s head. You spend the novel seeing doran as this weak ass hoe ass betrayed my dornish ass bitch through Arainne’s eyes, and by the end your entire perception of him is entirely flipped. My favorite moment AND LINE in the entire series (this even tops jaime’s confession which is a big deal to me!!) was when he finally reveals his “heart’s desire” to arainne. i got godDAMN C H I L L S!! And they take that beautiful and heart pounding moment where you realize doran is fucking pissed about oberyn he DOES want revenge he’s just playing THE LONG GAME (in contrast to what EVERYONE believes about the dornish people he’s patient and cunning and willing to wait in order to fucking DECIMATE  these motherfuckers that crossed him) and give it to OLYENNA AND VARYS IS DISGUSTING.  This line is so utterly important to his phenomenal character and the DORNISH STORY and for D&D to give it to these fucking FOREIGNERS is a TRAVESTY and an utter and complete wASTE. And they even killed doran before it was even said. This completely destroyed any of the little faith i had left in got. They took the most badass house and turned them all into idiotic impulsive meat heads without a singe smart bone in their bodies and its so sad seeing as they could’ve elevated and diversified this show so much. 

In summary: i love dorne. I love the martells. I have a shirt that says unbowed unbent unbroken because i love them so much. And they represent the single most WASTED potential in all of GOT. Their beautiful complex story was ripped from them and in return they got heavy handed ridiculous and ill thought out revenge plots and were eventually subjected to being the punching bag of westeros. It literally kills everything they stood for in the book and to top it all off they exploited constantly for their sexuality only to serve D&Ds narrative. So yeah you could say i was bitter?

Robert Bruce has two books called "Astral Dynamics" one from 1999 and one from 2009, would I be correct in guessing that the book you recommend in your FAQ is the 2009 version? I looked online and just wanted to make sure I was getting the right one before purchasing it.

i guess it is too?? i haven’t read the whole thing and idk which version i read lmao. But I’d assume the more recent one is better, that’s generally how books work.

🌟 My favorite colors are pastels and my life has been super hectic lately with school and jobs and family and ex relationships and friends, and I'm hoping it'll slow down soon! Oh and I love flowers and I'm making little bookmarks for my friends where I draw some flowers and their name, matching the symbolism behind the flower to the person, it's a lot of fun! Thank you so much for doing these, I hope you have fun with it!

Hi! That sounds so cute!!

I pulled the Lovers. Its keywords are oneness, sharing, unity, and compromise.

This card indicates that 2019 will be a year of decisions, especially involving the people around you. You’ll have to learn to compromise, and that things can’t always be seen as either/or. Think carefully and logically about what you want, and commit to it, but think about how it will affect others as well. Don’t push others away; learn to work with and understand the people around you. For you, 2019 will be a year of both personal growth and growth of relationships. 

Good luck and Happy New Year! :)
