Some people may or may not know what I mean at first when I say this, but I honestly think that Octavinelle is the straight up embodiment of gluttony.

I know nothing about BPD, but I was wondering if anyone who actually has BPD had any thoughts on the theories that Catra has BPD? I think it’s an interesting theory and I’ve heard some good points but I can’t ethically contribute to that conversation.

Also, if you find this post offensive let me know, and I will take it down immediately. I was curious bc the headcanon that Entrapta is autistic was confirmed and it made me think of this headcanon.

Hear me out...

Non-binary/fluid circle mages.

The circle barely saw them as human so didnt both raising them with any gender differentiation. They wore the same clothes, used the same spaces, and were treated the same. So all being pan as heck was the norm (although some had preference for pecs of boobs and thats cool).

Would explain the hats and robes. And I just like the idea.

Puppy pack symbol?🐺

I was reading about Celtic symbols and since most of the TW pack symbols were directly taken from there anyway I think I found one that fits the puppy pack! Look:

Listen to this: “The triquetra is another commonly used Celtic symbol the meaning of which varied with time and the tribe using it. Derived from the Latin language, the term triquetra simply means “three-cornered”.”

Basically, the three things it represents are determined by whoever is using it.

And what’s Liam’s mantra again? That’s right -  “THREE things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth”

Also: “ The negative space in the center of this symbol symbolizes the center of all influences. In personal ritual, it could represent the self at the center of trinity influences. In a tribe, the center is the heart of the people with the three elements creating an unbreakable union.“

Idk, I think it fits. What do you guys think? 😄

[where-his-towel-is]

here’s a thought

so I was reading a bunch of YOI metas, discussing the unexplained turnaround in Victor’s decision to go back to skating in episode 12, instead of the retirement his whole plot arc was leading up to,

and i had this weird little idea

what if victor intends to go back to skating...and lose?

bear with bear with

(and this is more of a detailed hc than a meta, but i hope that the imagining comforts you, if you like me are feeling terrified about the writing and plot arc of yoi s2.)  

it’s canon that victuuri don’t make their final career-path decisions together in the final episode; most of that pondering was done while yuuri was skating if i remember right, since the tension between them only broke just before Yuuri started his free skate routine, presumably so that they can put the personal stuff to one side while they attempt to get this whole competition/GPF/medal business sorted. 

clearly we don’t get any insight into victor’s sudden change of heart in going back to skating, as well as coaching yuuri (does he have any concept of workload tho these are the questions) so imma just run with this hc for a bit.

to clarify, i’m not saying that victor would go back to skating for the sole purpose of losing to yuuri, just so he can boost his bf’s confidence on a false foundation. he’s learnt enough about yuuri to get to grips with how his anxiety works, and to understand that a false win would be the same as a loss.

but at the same time, victor wants to help yuuri overcome it, as far as it is in his power to do so. 

and even though yuuri isn’t helped by the more aggressive styles of training that victor (wrongly) attempts to use (ep 7 ep 7 ep 7), what he does thrive on is a challenge, something that forces him out of his comfort zone and helps him prove to himself that he can conquer unknown territory. this is what the eros routine does, this is what getting his own music does, even what spending time alone with victor does.

so victor decides, as his coach, to present him with the most difficult challenge he has yet faced: going up against his idol.

it’s not like victor will go easy on him, no way in hell. he hasn’t retained his titles this long and become a symbol for so many people by slacking off, he knows how to train and how to work. (i would like to think that he would hold off on the competitions for a little while, given how soon nationals (i think?) would be after the end of s1 and the impossibility of being ready for them.) plus he has a competitive streak of course, which we see at the end of ep 12, just a little.

victor’s incredible self-awareness, of his age and his close proximity to retirement from skating, is enough for him to know that if yuuri continues at the rate of progress he has managed to maintain throughout the series, then it would certainly be a fair fight, and that there is a high probability that he will lose even if he gives it his best shot.

(sidenote: its bizarre how the yoi fandom has got used to talking about victor like he’s an old man, like i know it’s just sports talk and everyone ages out of competition etc etc but it cracks me up cuz he’s only 28, but anyway)

he also has faith that yuuri will rise to and learn from this new challenge, and become stronger for it. as mentioned above, victor’s strategy as yuuri’s coach so far has been to get emotionally close to him, at the same time as throwing him in the deep end, which yuuri himself is not averse to. (his raising of the difficulty level in his routine in ep 5 says to me that at least on some level he understands that he works best with obstacles, its just that he has to believe he can conquer them.) 

and what greater challenge could there be for yuuri, than to go up against someone who he puts on a pedestal (yes, still, even after everything imho), someone who he has looked up to all his life and who has inspired him enough to skate beautifully that he even managed to inspire victor in return? its true, this hc would only work if victor was able to prove to yuuri, really convince him, that he is able to go up against victor without his ego being hurt. (yuuri babe victor’s ego has its own penthouse suite its gonna be fine my dear) 

also, even though the whole season build up can be read as victor realising that he needs to retire, he can also be read as someone who regains inspiration in his field through watching someone else find their own. some of y’all’s meta are pretty damn persuasive (so cool honestly), but personally i’m still not fully convinced that victor wants to stop competing at skating. sure he wants to coach, that’s where his real passion is now, but i think that with every progression yuuri makes, there is a part of victor that is curious - he wants to go back and redo his last GPF and really watch yuuri, see him for the rival that he has become and...take him for a test run, if you will. see if he can walk the walk with victor nikiforov on the same ice a second time around.

so what would the outcomes be? well,

victor wins/yuuri loses to him: as i said, i think that this is less likely, given their respective circumstances. and victor knows this too, we see how much he has already thought about how he cannot progress from this point, and while yuuri proves to be a burst of inspiration, i doubt that that would push victor past the revamped cup-holder-now-installed yuuri 2.0 that he’s fleshed out, not to mention the menace that is yurio, who would be twice as motivated competing against both halves of that disgusting couple victuuri.

or, my dreams come true and

yuuri wins/victor comes in tight second, or even third to yurio: everybuddy is happy - victor got the really interesting fiery competition he’s wanted for ages (tbh i think he’d actually quite enjoy getting silver or bronze if it was his two favourite bros on the pedestal with him), as well as a public declaration of his retirement that satisfies his old acquaintances and gets them to stop pestering him, yuuri finally gets the gold he has deserved for so long and gets it into his poor thick head that he is actually worth something, and yurio getting the satisfaction of seeing victor actually lose for one goddammit time, as well as watching yuuri win (which he would secretly be so smug about, being the one who told him to carry on in the first place). oh and victor gets to see yuuri win up close, which he would be so gone about.

of course, for this to work (this humble hc of mine), we would need to see victuuri finally flesh out some of the problems that have underpinned their relationship and that haven’t been addressed yet - they need to see each other as equals in a solid relationship, with the coach-student relationship as a flexible layer that can be removed when necessary, they need to address the fact that yuuri’s probably not as chill with silver as he made out, and they need to confront their conflicting ideas about victor’s career and what he really wants from life (which this hc would force just sayin). so much important communication would be needed, which means more angst and fandom pain, but worth it in the end, i think.

what do you guys think?

[fanlady505]

Do you guys think that the Lin Kuei’s wedding attire would be entirely in cold colors with silver or would it be like the traditional Chinese wedding attire where it’s red and gold? 🤔

[oblivionlotus]

Genuinely considering giving Leto an actual "home" of sorts other than their nests. They could possibly have a little space of their own in an abandoned urban building (factory? old department store? former apartment building?). But I don't know how realistic this would be. I just like the idea that they can have a cosy place full of battered furniture rescued from a dump site, a place to listen to records they borrow steal, a place full of unstable columns of well-read and much-loved books.

{ Meals! }

meals: how many meals does my muse eat a day? what do they generally consist of?

An interesting question to him, not because food is extremely important to him, but because no one has ever specifically asked about it. Now that he's been asked about it, he is now made to think about his dietary choices and how others may judge them.  

"Not as much as I should, I shall admit." He reclines on his chair. Thinking back to childhood and his habits that have remarkably survived since then.

"I scavenged and foraged often as a wee lad, ye see. A meal was not guaranteed every day, so I tooketh what I could get. In my youth, I sometimes went to bed starving, or so full to th' brim that I could wretch. Mine meals were either raw meat from small animals or berries and crops I foraged. I was lucky to hath two meals a'day."

Now he was left to think about what he eats now. It was more refined, sure, but as he thought about it now all he could think was how similar his diet now was to his childhood.

"As of now, I can guarantee mineself at least 2 meals a'day. One to get me goin' in the morn, and one more at night to sleep peacefully. I can cook meat now, so mine diet usually consists of cooked meats from small to medium size animals of the sort. Sometimes I forage on Golden Rowa berries I stumble across."
