The Importance of Trees in Myths (like.. potential 'whys' of the existence of world trees. but uneducated and just guesses)

Trees are basically everywhere, and even otherwise it's been thought of as like a special thing in many places. There are some trees who've been I think, something something planted in space? And then moved back here, probably fact check me on that because I can't remember it exactly. Or I remember in my old school there was this big tree in the playground (back in elementary) and everyone loved to hang out underneath and around it by the shade that people were devastated when they were gonna cut it down to free up space for more classrooms. it doesn't have to actually have an important history or anything, and could literally just be a place that a lot of people like to hang around.

Continuing on, trees are so small at first. And then they grow, and they grow big (you could say its similar to infants and adults), not to mention that they can last a really long time. They can live to hundreds and even thousands of years, and the thing is is that people associate old age with being wise (there's the whole thing about respecting elders. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't, although I know you could probably assume that me mentioning it means that it isn't a good thing).

There's probably a god out there that's a tree, and related reasons might be because of the age difference, or maybe the way a tree grows, because trees can grow into different shapes as well, and I don't know, there might be an instance where it grows to point in a direction, and someone follows it and it saves their life, who knows. Trees can also be seen as rebirth in a way. Or well, to be more accurate, it's like about with fall and winter, 'shedding your leaves'. Actually I don't think anyone says that. Uh. Think about it another way. Phoenixes will turn to ashes, and then later rise up from them whole again. There's a MLP (My Little Pony) variation of where they shed their feathers and look horribly ill until they 'die', burning to ash, before coming back from those ashes whole in their feathery glory.

And then turn it into tree. Where it sheds its leaves and almost kinda look like they're dead, and then later on when those leaves (I almost said feathers, imagine a tree with feathers haha) come back with spring and summer, in its whole basically 'rebirth' cycle. I don't know about trees enough to tell you how it actually works but also maybe, connections? Like with how big they are, and how their roots underneath expand vastly beneath them it could be seen as a whole, like, channel. Words are failing me right now but well, branches of worlds, y'know. Many branches above, and then many roots below and could technically be thought of as heaven and hell in its contrast, y'know?

work skins

using work skins for the first time

my god guides are a godsend

i was so confused for the longest time but NOW i get it? you have to do the things ON the skin

and thus whats on the skin will reflect on the fic. aghhh.

fucking godsend oh my god

work skins are hard. and complicated. but also not that bad? but oh my god. id send a flopping on bed gif but i have no clue how to do that

it was fun to read though? you do kind of have to do your own research if you want to do something more specific or want to understand why something is a certain way, etc etc-- honestly it was a little interesting to read about how font families worked? cause i didnt know how it was formatted and was afraid of breaking it, but its like. it looks for the font on your pc, and if it isnt there, then itll look for the next font, and then the next and etc etc.

very fun. but i also cant tell if its worth it. well, ill see when i do something painstakingly long like, say, formatting out a text conversation and suffering when i do something wrong like a dumbass lmfao.

pls watch

Martin was a pretty lonely kid. That was a thing that happened naturally when his only remaining parent decided it was a good idea to distance herself from him, for various reasons, none that were particularly valid.

Ever since his dad had left, his mum had taken a turn for the worst. Snapping at him for the littlest of things, even when he didn’t even do anything wrong.

It.. sucked, no matter how better and better he felt he was getting at his people-watching skills, to determine their moods and, well, thoughts, in a fruitless hope that figuring it out would be the key to finding the way to get their love.

Nurses pitied him, those out of the neighborhood, unable to hear the poisoning whispers of a mother blaming her son for all her issues, and who had converted many of her friends to hate him too.

...was the bet they currently had on-going for a child.

A child that happened to be both Forsaken-oriented, and Beholding-oriented, because if they were going to be a married couple, then what about a family? Creating an actual child was completely out of the question, so the only other option would be to look for one. What.

-- OR, Martin gets adopted by Elias and Peter.

i read way too many fics where the tma characters get de-aged that i wrote my own.

usually the spacing is large because formatting weird so i tried deleting them and now it feels way too crowded

Too Much Time | TMA Fic | Fic Rec

Summary:

Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.

He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.

Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

I HAVE ANOTHER TMA FIC FOR YOU. its Time Travel but I've been getting obsessed with any and all fics where they (either Jon or Martin. Or both.) time travel back to their kid self and get adopted by elias and/or peter.

or it could just be a general non-time travel but still get adopted.

I know I have issues with reading way too many time travel fics and that the repetition can get boring. BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. Okay. Look. im gonna be honest. its hitting close to 200k words and is nowhere near close to the beginning of the actual podcast, like with tim and sasha and martin?? its not just your average time travel!! ITS. theres uniqueness. i dont know how to explain it without spoiling it. It does get to really angsty bits (also tma fics have this weird habit of adding content warnings at the end notes. who even looks at those and then scrolls all the way up or something?? well not me, idk who does, it just kinda seems weird to leave it as an end note when its a cw for a chapter..) that have kind of gotten me mentally checking out or something, but like. fdshuifhs. what do you do when a traumatized adult gets sent back to his child body and his child body kind of. yknow? just your average issue of communicating! and also a lot of issues. a lot of trauma. woo.

idea: scene with two characters eagerly stripping each other clearly about to bone, but they keep getting interrupted by finding carefully concealed weapons in each other’s clothing, so they keep just unholstering, revealing and unstrapping increasingly ludicrous amounts of hidden guns and knives as the clothes come off, and it’s lowkey killing the mood a little
