Hot fandom take

genuinely can’t go on some fandom tags because i swear there will always be this one review that makes me think, huh, you’re right, it’s not that great of a book, but here’s the thing, i lowkey hate myself for being swayed so easily over like a book breaking it down.

also because i will read anything,

Lan clan forehead ribbon responding to soulmate

What if, Lan sect’s forehead ribbons channel the spiritual energy of the wearer, like their swords. While most cultivators never reach a high enough level in their teens to bind their ribbons, the twin Jades were an exception.

Once a forehead ribbon is bound by spiritual energy, it can’t be undone by anyone other than self or those in front of whom they need show no restraint. No one should have been able to take off Wangji’s ribbon - no one other than his family or cultivation partner.

Once a ribbon identifies a person as one’s soulmate, it responds to that person’s touch and gets undone. But it was a very rare occurrence. It meant that the ribbon was yelling to the whole world that Wangji was in love with the perpetrator. How could his ribbon betray him in front of the world, when he himself was unsure!?

How did the universe, heaven and earth originate? 🌠🌍🌌 How does a living being come to life? 🧬🌱 🐣 How do natural phenomena arise?🌪️🌩️ What cultural practices are associated with birth? 🤱 🤰 Why are birth certificates kept? 📝🚼

Birth and origin are recurring themes for many researchers working in a wide variety of disciplines, such as astrophysicists, historians, archaeologists, biologists, doctors, geologists and palaeontologists. 🩺📜🔬📚🔭 In their respective fields they look at the theme of birth from their own specific angle. 💭💡

The 2020 edition of the exhibition 👑 Science and Culture at the Royal Palace 👑 unfortunately cannot take place in situ. BELSPO - Federaal Wetenschapsbeleid / Politique scientifique fédérale has developed an alternative and original route: a virtual exhibition! 💻🤩

So I just realized I haven't posted any brave frontier in a HOT minute (mostly bc i stopped playing bc it was eating my phone space) so I made a babey and a slight asshole cryptid

I wish there was a cut option on mobile

For those who are curious, in my world-building there are multiple "sub-deities" of FirstLife (kinda like Vishnu from Hinduism), and these two are actually worshipped as two of them! (Though, Tridanen is all of the sub-deities combined into one and their own separate sub-deity, if that makes sense). So, in order of their pictures:

FirstLife Genesis (aka Summoner Grey/Tridanel Askiani, daughter of Tridon): Goddess of innocence, adventure, youth, riches, birth, and ludus (playful love). Matron deity of mercenaries, travellers, service workers, lovers, merchants. Genesis, getting her epithet from being the FirstLife in the first stage, is interestingly the only sub-deity(/avatar?) that shows up in only one stage, that being the Brave Frontier stage (which is also the last stage. It's weird, I know). This means that her gender in this stage (female) is her gender period, and she is not ever referred to as a male.

FirstLife Eternium (aka Tridanen/Lord of Athensphere/...): God of strife, justice, death, agape (selfless love). Patron deity of scholars/students, soldiers, judges. I originally had two war gods, with Eternium being one of them, but realized that Eternium was more the actual fighting and strategizing part or war while the other was more about protection. Eternium got their epithet from being the sub-deity of FirstLife that comes out of the stages, sort of like the last one standing.

What I made clear in my notes was that all of the sub-deities of FirstLife are all deities of love, and are all guardians of children, victims and refugees, which puts a nice little contrast on the bad wrap they all tend to get.

Anyway, enough of my word vomiting. If yall wanna see more, let me know.

Thanks for reading!

The strong aren't always strong and the weak aren't always weak. Everyone stumbles. And one day, when you stumble - and you will - you'll need someone to help you stand. Will there be anyone eager to do so, or will there be a line of people hoping to kick you while you're down?
