Does anyone else get confused by colors similar to each other? What about different shades of the same color?

Or colors that makeup/are made up by the other such as pinks and reds & blue and greys?

Though sometimes the colors I struggle with aren’t so clearly correlated like yellows, grays, and browns.

This also applies to tones too.

Of course a lot of ‘colors’ aren’t just one pure color i.e. they’re affected by factors such as light and darkness, saturation, etc.

Anyway unless I’m looking at something like an art piece, flowers, leaves, etc. I’m not really comprehending what I am looking at has colors.

I've been told I may be colorblind numerous times but none of the types from my own research fits what I've listed and I've passed all color tests I could find so...

Breath Styles! (Simplified)

Hello everyone! I've decided to make this post about breaths! This is more so for me so I can put all the info I've researched into one place! If anyone else finds this useful than great!

Also note I have this info also on Amino! The reception was there was pretty positive. So i wanted to post it to other platforms! :)

What are breaths?

Breaths focus on using swordsmanship in their attacks.

Who can use them?

Anyone really!

Why use breaths?

Humans do not have supernatural powers. Demons on the other had do. So that humans don't get killed off so quickly they use breaths. Breaths is the process of increasing one's physical abilities to be on par with a demons.

Note: I know Genya can be used as an exception about supernatural abilities. We just don't know enough about his ability.

Common misconceptions

The anime and manga use visual flair to show off the different breath techniques. Making it seem like they have supernatural abilities (thats what I thought too!) That is not actually the case, they just usual visual flair! It would be boring to just see the swords slashing so gotta make it pretty!

Tanjirou for example: when he uses his breath techniques his visual flair is water! This is just to emphasize his movements! Water breath techniques focus on flexibility, hence why whenever Tanjirou uses it we see water. It's not like Tanjirou is actually using water during his attacks. It's all about how he moves and his slashes.

Branches of Breaths

Table credit to KnY wiki! Edit: updated chart 12/13/19

"All current breaths originate from Breath of the Sun. Which only one person is shown to be able to use. It is possible to create breaths that branch out from the original 5 breaths. Some breaths are not available for just anyone. "Breath of Flames" is only kept within the Rengoku family. " - Quote from Jadeologie on curiouscat!

Note: It has been confirmed from the mangaka Gotōge that there is no branches from stone.

Some Breath Branches make no sense!

That I understand completely! Like the one that surprised me the most is Breath of Love and Breath of Serpent!

I think the easiest way to figure out breath branches in general is to break down their movements. Not so much the element! This is how I personally do it so you do you if you don't agree!

Breath of Water: Flexible movements.

- So it makes sense with Serpent and Flowers even insects!

Breath of Flames: Strong Offensive Movements

Breath of Stone: Strong Defensive Movements

Breath of Wind: Quick Multiple Movements

Breath of Thunder/Lightning: Quick Movements

I think once you figure out how breaths work you can easily develop your own! Along with what breath they branch from! I do think it's important to figure out what branch your original breath comes from! Since I think it would help develop the different forms of attack. Just remember to break down the movements to see what branch.

Another tip I got was to work in reverse! Figure what movements are similar to what you want from the main 5! Then start branching from there! :)

With that done then you can easily figure out the different forms! :)

Tips for Breath Forms!

My advice is after you picked your own breath style, the next step would be to figure out what branch it comes off of! Then imagine the types of movements it entails!

An example: Breath of Cloud branches from Breath of Water.

Movements are flexible and graceful almost like a dancer.

Anyone who read this whole thing thank you! Also remember these are my opinions based on the research i've done. I always recommend doing your own research and coming up with your own conclusions! :) Tell me if you like this kind of post and if I should post more of my research!

Thanks for reading!

I just realized why Zutara makes me foam at the mouth with anger. why nine-year-old me cried for an hour after she found out the ship existed. why the earliest bpd feelings I have can be traced to that ship. why I have to unfollow and even block people who ship it.

everyone knows by now that I identified with Katara (obviously lol) the moment I first saw her.

but Prince Zuko? Angry, teenaged, violent, angsty, kidnapping, screaming, assaulting Season 1 Prince Zuko? the one whose softness and trauma my nine year old eyes had no remote concept of?

I saw him as my brother.

#my bully my tormenter my terrorizer my rapist. he tortured me every time he opened his mouth for twelve fucking years #season 1 Zuko was a MONSTER to me #by the time his character‘s metamorphosis began in depth I had aged several CRUCIAL years in mental development #i became a pre-teen and started to understand beginner’s tenets of psychology #my dissociative disorder had begun to kick in #and so on #jesus christ this is. a HUGE realization for me #self research #me only

I get so resentful now not only when my mother seeks validation from me, but when I find myself giving it to her on my own without prompting, because I spent my entire childhood uplifting her, giving her advice, and caring for her emotionally, and it fucked me up so badly that I’m only now able to recognize how shitty it was.

and it pisses me off.

#it’s the same thing when people do the things my brother used to do to me #like ‘teasing’ (mocking) and telling me to calm down when I’m excited or insulting me #just BLIND RAGE I was never permitted to feel as a child #me only #self research #'rentals

what the fuck is wrong with me LOL I just wrote about my opinion on a thing and I’m having heart palpitations so bad that my chest hurts. why

(it’s because my childhood abusers made me so easy to brainwash that mere exposure to bigoted opinions opens a pathway for those viewpoints to wiggle their way into my wildly impressionable brain and reprogram me, and therefore having to protect my own beliefs, which I had to fight tooth and nail to procure, fills my body with traumatic terror LMFAOOOO)

I have mild psychic powers for sure. I’ve had prophetic dreams and memories for at least twelve years now: it’s usually something small, like that I’ll happen to think of an episode of a TV show in the morning and that very episode will air later in the same day, or I’ll think of a certain post I haven’t seen in a long time and it will show up on my dashboard. the same thing can happen when I dream about something I’ve seen before. when I was a kid, I could predict plot elements of unaired TV episodes, too.

I’ve also had more meaningful prophetic dreams, like when I realized I have BPD before I’d done any research on it whatsoever. I dreamt I’d been diagnosed by my therapist, and then I woke up with you-know-what-Madonna-song stuck in my head. I started looking up the symptoms immediately. I self-diagnosed, then got an official diagnosis two months later.

I wish there were anything useful about this, TBH. especially with how much PTSD is packed into my dreams.

#it'd be nice to have calming and interesting dreams like I used to have growing up I mean #because for the part few years it's trauma dreams every night #self research #I guess #me only

I don’t know if I regress in age at specific times or if I’m just a huge child as an ever-present particle of my personality. I like to go outside in a kigurumi or carrying a huge stuffed animal or toting around a Monster High doll. I obsess over animated movies, dragging everyone to the theater time and time again for the new films I really love. I like to dress up in flouncy, pastel-colored lolita dresses, and an abusive boyfriend once told me that I “dress like a kid” because of it… I like to feel like a little princess and be cared for, and I like to joke that I’m five or eight. I have obvious, severe PTSD, and I had a really fucked up childhood filled with abuse and parentalization (not that I remember the majority of it - or ever noticed it was anything other than loving). obviously, in times of stress or a lowered mood, I will need more help with “adult” tasks like making appointments, ordering my own food, and sometimes even talking to my friends.

maybe I’ll talk to [Lexi] about age regression today.

Got mild asthma attack while practising running. I can go and write the main character having an asthma attack accurately.

For example I feel preasure in my chest, and under my clavicle. Some constriction in my throat just under my jaw. Rest of my throat feels open.

I'm going to excise tensing ones throat to get the mucus loose, the taste and texture, because that's kind of gross.

Also I'm fine. The asthma attack is clearing and I had finished today's run practise.
