I think one of the worst forms of child abuse is injecting them with a terminal sense of guilt. parents who constantly use guilt as a disciplinary tactic end up raising children who are unable and afraid to stand up for themselves. they are taught that their needs are unimportant, that they’re selfish for trying to individuate, and that they don’t really matter. they essentially begin to look at themselves as a burden, as something to be tolerated instead of loved - how cruel is it to make a person feel apologetic for their own existence?

the worst part is that since the abuse isn’t “actively” vicious, it’s difficult to identify it. when a person is raised on guilt, they have difficulty establishing boundaries, and they have difficulty developing themselves spiritually. as such, they’re more likely to become victims of further abuse in their adulthood. when something bad happens to them, they assume they deserved it.

it’s the people who apologize for everything, it’s the people who deprive themselves of things that are good for them, it’s the people who end up isolating themselves from others because they feel inherently damaged.

guilt is a poison and the only antidote is compassion

This is like a study in how many expressions three characters can cram into a frame. The last gif is the story an entire life lived in a moment. This gifset describes a heroic journey. Jonathan is briefly wildly excited by the statue’s feet before resigning himself to his fate. Ardeth’s instant transition from drama to annoyance when Rick lights a match on his beard is highly relatable. why did Rick stop the action just to strike a match on a friend’s rugged jaw. how fantastic are Ardeth’s robes. what are their faces doing in the last gif. is anyone in this film capable of doing anything at a normal level with any modicum of focus, or do they all stumble dramatically out of bed in the morning and pick a fight with the floor. Give me more disasters, that’s what I want. more relatable, distractible disasters. not a single one of them can focus on deadly dangers for more than a moment without being distracted by feet, jawlines, banter, books, swishing their clothes and grabbing each other. none of them can hold a torch properly.

‘or do they all stumble dramatically out of bed in the morning and pick a fight with the floor‘ – this question sums up so many of my favorite chaotic dumbass heroes!

So like many modern folk my boyfriend and I rely a lot on deals, sales, and bargains when we go shopping. During our grocery runs we live and die by the ever bountiful buy-one-get-one deal; aka the BOGO
It’s a great way to stock up on things without spending much, and so it has become our ritual to say a small prayer for BOGO to bless us and bring us good thrifts and sales our way. Sometimes BOGO smiles upon us and provides with much, sometimes BOGO is stingy and gives us less. Nevertheless, we thank BOGO for the sales and savings of the day, and hope BOGO blesses us next time.
So much we pray to BOGO that for the release of the Zandalari race we are going to roll a Zandalari pair of merchants slash worshippers of the Loa of Bargains, Bogo! Markets are places of opportunity and craft; merchants try to sell little for a lot, and buyers try to get a lot for little - each a little prayer for Bogo to smile upon them with the luck of the coin.
Those entering the markets for a long day of spending and buying often carry a small pouch strung around their neck with a single coin inside. It’s often the wearer’s lucky coin - whether it be the first gold piece they earned, a coin they found in an usual place, that coin that never left their side… Whatever power of luck they believe the coin will catch Bogo’s attention.
And so, my friends, when you go out ready to clench your wallets give praise to Bogo and may many bargains be in your favor!
