I'm Eternal Phantom. This is where I do fanfics, occasional fanart, and reblogs cool stuff from other people.
(Also I am working on the next chapter of Mirror's Gaze, but asking me about it tends to make me feel guilty and depressed about taking so long so please don't. You can ask about the series itself, just not the next chapter.
To all trans men on this site, im gonna put you onto something. If you are in need of a binder but have unsupportive parents or are closeted, if you have a fondness for the ocean, or if youre bored with the normal colors of binder available, go to Waterlust and get a top
As you can see above, theyre all patterned like marine life, but theyre also reversible! One side has the pattern, the other is solid color, and they’re all fun colors like blues and reds and greens, but some like the whale and tiger shark ones are more subtle grays and blacks. I have the whale shark one and the spongebob one (which was a limited run), and theyre both very well designed and printed. My spongebob one has served me for roughly four years and it hasn’t worn at all.
What really matters? The binding power, and these things are great. I’m a triple D cup and with a medium I look like I have subtle pecs. They’re also much less compressive than other binders due to their materials (which are mostly recycled!), so you can wear them for longer without getting sore. When I did more intensive theater and band performances, I could still act, dance, and play bari sax without getting winded or hurting myself. They’re also swim tops, and I’ve scuba dived in these as well comfortably.
If that wasn’t all, proceeds from each purchase are donated towards marine conservation and education initiatives! Purchasing shark printed ones specifically donate to shark studies and conservation orgs, parrotfish and coral prints support coral restoration initiatives, and so on. The high price tag is for a good reason.
Overall, if you’re looking for an all around good binder, one that matches your whimsey and supports a good cause, Waterlust is the place to go.
It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied “i don’t know i’ve never heard these words in that order” and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn’t even that funny
at my old job i had a coworker who was tired and made a coffee with like 6 or 8 shots of espresso and i just casually went up to them like “are you trying to meet god?” and not only was this absolutely hilarious to them but they brought it up in future conversations they thought it was so funny but to me this was just as casual as saying “woah that’s a lot of coffee”
Being funny on Tumblr and then going to be funny in real life is like traveling to a foreign country and baby the currency exchange rate is biased in your favor
My Fiance is not on tumblr, but between me and some youtubers we like, he is developing a tumblr accent
wizard college is going to kill me I swear to god. I just saw someone without a component satchel reach into their pocket and pull out a handful of LOOSE tapioca to use as a substitute for blood in their fell ritual. and it worked. I’ve never been so fucking mad.
the thing about Professor Utonium is he didn’t accidentally create 3 daughters, he purposely created 3 daughters who accidentally have superpowers. the sugar, spice, and everything nice was intentional, only Chemical X was an accident
this guy became a girl dad on purpose and I am so proud of him for achieving his dream!
For all the people in the tags asking “what is the necklace theory?” Allow me to illuminate the basics (cause like most things in KH its a rabbit hole that goes waaaay deeper than youd think)
So for the unintiated the character in this meme is Namine. A character who plays a very key role in the second ever KH game, Chain of Memories.
Without getting too deep into her origins, Namine has the ability to alter peoples Memories. This is a major plot point in CoM where, as a prisoner of Organization XIII, She’s forced to alter Sora’s memories as part of Marluxia’s scheme to make Sora his puppet to overthrow the Org leaders. She’s also made to put an altered copy of Riku’s memories into Repliku, a clone of Riku.
In both cases, the main thing she alters, aside from inserting herself generally into their memories as an old friend, is a very specific memory.
In the Memory the kiddos are watching a meteor Shower on Destiny island. Lil Namine is scared a shooting star will hit the island, and then the boys, either Sora or Riku/Repliku in their respective heads, promise to always protect her, and Namine gives them a paopu fruit shaped charm as a symbol of the promise.
In the story of Chain of Memories, this altered memory is used to keep both Sora and Repliku obsessed with saving Namine so they play into Marluxia’s plans. And to the average player youd probably just cone away thinking it was a false memory Namine made up.
Except when all is said and done Namine explains how her powers work and that She CANT create New Memories Wholesale. Only alter and rearrange existing ones.
So, the theory begins, because this means that both Sora and Riku have a Memory of that Meteor shower, where somebody was scared, someone promised to protect the scared person, and someone was given some sort of good luck charm as a symbol of that promise. Its a memory they both have. And it cant involve Kairi because, fun fact, the meteor shower they were watching happened the night Kairi arrived on Destiny Island, before they met her.
See where this is going?
So the theory goes that in the original unaltered memory, Sora was the one who was scared of Shooting stars hitting the island. Riku was the one who promised to protect Sora no matter what, and then He gave Sora a “Lucky charm” to symbolize that promise. The Charm? SORAS CROWN NECKLACE.
Thats the basics.
Theres a lot of supporting evidence for the theory that people with far more time than me have complied elsewhere. The bit i remember off the top of my head is that Oblivion, the keyblade symbolizing Sora’s memories of Riku, has a black crown that matches his necklace as its keychain (paralelling the wayfinder charm on Oathkeeper) and its original name in japanese is something like “forgotten memories”
Like i said theres a lot more evidemce out there complied by people much more eloquent than I.
But yeah thats the very basics of the necklace theory.
