Winter In Moominvalley ❄️ {2/2}

descending into madness. y’all want anything?

Ralph Kränzlein

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

“Flattery can only get you so far in this world, but it suits you well”.

**ASK ABOUT NSFW/GORE Even if you can’t comm it would help me out big time if you can spread and reblog this! Thank you~!

Ohhhh we feel this!!

We're fictive heavy, so there's a loooot of songs from our various sources that bring a whole range of reactions! Even my source was a music video (Pokemon Gotcha lmao), so it's a sure-fire way to get me to front! I get euphoria from specific songs since I just,, generally really love Pokemon!

While, on the other hand, our Emmet has a very (verrrry) picky ear with certain songs from his source. He likes the original soundtrack compared to newer themes 'cus he's more source compliant!

Also!! We have a Sans in our system who flat out doesn't associate himself with Meglovania. Like, he doesn't have any positive or negative feelings about his "theme." But, when we've asked him about it, he says he doesn't mind the song. He just doesn't think it's his. However, we have noticed that he does react to the Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans! The rest of the system has collectively decided that that song is his official theme-song haha! It just fits him better; it's goofy and fun just like he is!

Sometimes, our Sans and Chara chill out together, listening to the UT/DR soundtracks for bonding time.

Overall, I think music helps solidify all of us one way or another. Even our non-fictives have certain songs that resonate so deeply that they zoom to the front to listen. (We have mini dance parties with a few songs-- its always suuuper distracting to whoever's fronting, but that makes it even MORE fun hehheh).

Hello, I’m Arceus from ☁️’s system. Today I needed to listen to my theme song and then it got me wondering. How do other fictives react to their own theme songs? For me personally it is a good way to feel myself more in this human body. It’s also another way for me to calm down if my favorite songs don’t work. Since I have a few themes to my name in the source not all of them are enjoyable. Take the original theme from the DS games. Was never a big fan of that version and it was the only theme I had for a long time. I admit, we never liked listening to that one since it’s too awkward to listen to. However, this year I get two theme remakes and both are enjoyable. I prefer the Pokémon Legends Arceus version of my theme the most.

Hello, Arceus (a few headmates in our system have been playing through your source recently). I personally get anxiety from hearing music from Disco Elysium.

Ralsei loves the soundtracks for both Deltarune and Undertale, and hearing music from fluffs source invigorates and excites them. It will also draw soft to the front, so if the body hears any UT/DR music playing, chances are, Ralsei will front.

As far as I understand, hearing Kirby music makes MK feel nostalgic, and perhaps a bit lonely and wistful. Knight has different connotations tied to different songs, however, so his reactions may vary.

We’ll pose this to our followers - how do you feel upon hearing music from your source?

Thank you for reaching out, Arceus. We hope you and your system are well.

All The Resources You'll Need To Build Your Own Wonderland, Headspace or Inner World, Now Mobile Compatible!

I made a page dedicated to this, but it wasn't mobile compatible. On request, I decided to make this in a post for mobile readers.

I see a lot of systems asking for advice on building their own inner worlds and Wonderlands. There are a lot of resources out there, but they can be difficult to track down because they all are so spread out between different websites and different systems, so I decided to make a dedicated page for the topic with all of the guides and resources I’ve gathered, to make the process as streamlined as possible.

What’s a Wonderland?

Wonderland, inner world and headspace all refer to places you create inside your mind. These are imagined environments in which you can interact with your headmates.

You should start with the expectation that it isn’t going to feel very real in the beginning. Immersion is a skill that takes time to build. Don’t get discouraged if your inner world experiences don’t match up perfectly with those of others. Be patient and be kind to yourselves.

On Building Headspace

On Building Headspace is an introductory guide that focuses on beginning with a simple object and building around it. It’s light, but is an effective starting point.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE HEADSPACE (For OSDD/DID systems)

This is an introductory guide to building headspaces specific for OSDD/DID.

The DIY Headspace Guide

This handy little guide has a lot of ideas of how to build a headspace for yourself with an accompanying pinterest to jog your creativity. This guide is all about using references from real life, games and art to use as the basis for your inner world.

Immersion

Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to start working on immersion. This is a more in-depth guide focused on immersing yourself in your Wonderland or headspace, going through each of your senses.

Wonderland Immersion

This guide utilizes a much more focused method of immersion through semantic analysis.

How To Refocus On Your Wonderland

A detailed guide on focusing your attention in the Wonderland and staying in the moment.

When Things Go Wrong in Your Imagination and How To Fix Them So They Don’t

This one is pretty self-explanatory, providing tips on how to rein in your Wonderland when it doesn’t seem to be behaving how you’d like it too.

Innerworlds & mindscapes in Plurality & dissociative identity disorder  #DID101

This DID-focused guide to inner world creation is centered around using self-hypnosis to enter your inner world and create a safe space in your mind.

How to Build a Memory Palace

This one is actually not about building Wonderlands per se. Rather, it provides you a practical way to use your Wonderland to improve your memory once it’s built. If you’ve already worked so hard building your visualization skills, why not put them to good use by allowing you to more easily remember large amounts of information?

Additional Resources:

Besides guides, here are some other tools you might be interested in using for making your headspaces.

Homestyler

This was mentioned in the DIY guide, but I wanted to provide a direct link to the site, as it’s a free program and could be really useful for designing homes in your inner world.

Inkarnate

Where Homestyler is for your homes, Inkarnate is a map maker that you might find useful for designing the larger areas of your Wonderland. Caves, , landscapes, cities, countries, etc. It’s unfortunately mostly a fantasy map-maker, so you’ll struggle at building a lot of modern or sci-fi environments with it.

Anyway, I hope someone out there can make use of these. And if anyone else has more guides or resources to add, don’t be afraid to send them my way! Good luck, and happy Wonderlanding!

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens
