The Signs That the Universe Has Your Back.

It sends people into your life.

Your relationships are not coincidences. They align with who you are and what you need to upgrade to a next level of your life.

Relationship patterns playing on repeat in your life carry a message. The Universe wants you to heal traumas and forgive. It teaches you to say ‘no’ and make healthier choices.

It plants dreams.

Dreams are the uncharted realm of our subconscious. In this state, we are the most vulnerable and open to messages.

If a dream keeps coming back to you, pay closer attention to its hidden meaning.

You have a hunch.

You have been blessed with an inner compass — your intuition.

You can easily distinguish fear from inner guidance. Fear feels heavy and suffocating. The intuition feels invigorating.

When you feel the hunch to visit a place, explore it. When you no longer vibe with your tribe, walk away.

Your world is tumbling down.

When you meet continuous resistance on your journey, you might want to reevaluate the path you are travelling.

How can you be sure the Universe hasn’t got something more spectacular in store for you?

If your life is falling apart, it is a sign you are on the right track.

The most challenging seasons of our lives make for monumental awakenings. Tough times are here to push you toward greatness.

At first, you cannot see a light on the horizon. Then, you go through the darkest period of your life, do some soul-searching and come out as a new person.

Your beating heart.

You are here for a reason.

You have gone through trials. You have cried your eyes out. You have loved. You have lost. And you are still here.

It must count for something.

Signs from the Universe are not big bangs. They are subtle, simple and on time.

The Universe gives you a nudge. You are responsible for taking the action.

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

at times when hope is too big of a thing to have, curiosity (even clinical or small) is a very good placeholder

asking myself "why continue" & finding the answer is always, in some form, "i want to know what happens next", even if that want is tired or detached or outright morbid

You ever think about how in The Headband, we're introduced to a side of the Fire Nation that's had its culture whittled away by a hundred years of imperial wartime propaganda. And how perhaps the most damning expression of this is that students are forbidden from dancing. And so Aang, maybe the only person on the planet who still truly remembers the Fire Nation of old, from before the war, brings it back to them.

And then we get to The Firebending Masters. Zuko's entire young adulthood has been spent using his anger towards the Fire Nation's enemies, his drive to capture the Avatar, as a crutch. And now he doesn't have that crutch anymore. So he and Aang set out on a pilgrimage, going to the birthplace of firebending itself, in search of answers. In search of a way to express the power of fire that isn't fueled by rage or smothered by fear. And they find a dance.

I'm sick and tired of characters turning evil because they're mentally ill™.

Give me a villain whose morality doesn't hinge on them being mentally unstable.

Give me a villain who actually underperforms because of mental illness.

A villain who takes a day off because they had anxiety.

A villain who gets sidetracked because of ADHD.

A villain paralyzed by fear after inadvertently triggering their PTSD.

A villain who can't get out of bed and take over the world because of depression.

A villain with obssessive compulsive disorder who keeps going over their plan because everything has to be EXACTLY right.

A schizophrenic villain who sees their superhero arch nemesis and just goes "Am I hallucinating or do you really go around saving the world dressed like that? I mean those colors...Did I... make you up?"

Sidenote: I wrote this post initially as a commentary on how Azula's mental breakdown played a role on her defeat but was not integral to her being a villain as opposed to Daenerys turning evil and incinerating a bunch of innocent citizens because she 'lost it' over the sound of bells but as I was writing this post I realized how much most of these prompts actually fit Dr. Doofenshmirtz' description.

Phineas and Ferb really went off with their wholesome evil villain content.

Miyazaki has a real penchant for working class characters. It’s a consistent quality, but I almost never see it brought up when talking about his body of work.

Actually, I got time. Let’s get into it a little.

First are the obvious two examples: Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service, where work is central to the entire conceit. In both films, the central characters struggle to balance their job and their identity. Crucially, the work itself isn’t an obstacle for the characters to “rise above”. Rather, it’s a component of how they grow.

It’s also worth noting that much of the supporting cast in both movies are working class, but they aren’t seen as lesser for it. What matters is they’re good people.

Other films are less overt in their working class themes, but they’re still there.

Howl’s Moving Castle is an interesting one. Sophie starts the film working as a seamstress in a hat shop, before signing on as a maid on behalf of Howl. (There’s a lot of cleaning in this movie.) There’s also something to be said for Howl himself. Even amidst his draft dodging and anti-war efforts, he still finds time to make spells for ordinary people.

Castle In The Sky is another great example of subtler working class themes. Our main hero Pazu works in a mining town, populated by gruff working class men who are just getting by day by day. When time comes to take to the sky, he works as a mechanic on the pirate ship in order to pay his way. Even secret princess Sheeta works as a cook, and was working a farm by herself before the events of the movie transpire.

This isn’t a comprehensive list, and there’s definitely more to explore here. I just think it’s interesting how he not only has so many working class heroes, but how work itself isn’t seen as a bad thing. There’s always a quiet dignity to it.
