astro obs pt 6

hey guys! I hope you all are fine :) hope you enjoy this post

Mars in Aries people are super fast and almost in a hurry to do anything actually. Most of them have this “I’ll do it now if I’ve to do this later”. That can be completing assignments to maybe even breaking up with someone. I won’t necessarily say they are “rash” but they do act very much on their impulses more than other people. Don’t avoid confrontation and aren’t afraid to confront heads on. Do no harm, take no shit lmao.

Mars in Taurus people are actually a good balance between being chill and actually not being chill lmao. I’d explain, many of them have a domicile mars in sidereal so it does add to that. Moreover, they make slow decisions but once they’ve decided on something, baby you can’t move them lmao. They don’t get super irked or mad easily, but if they do, the grudge is to their grave. Very consistent, they don’t really quit something they’ve fixed themselves on until there’s a strong, I mean STRONG reason to, but at the same time, committing to something is a very thought of and takes a long time in itself. Could get caught up in dead end stuff for this reason, they hate giving up or changing what’s worked for them. Men and women, both with this placement are super masculine and a desire control. Conflict resolution is very tough since they’re very avoidant. Not exactly avoiding accountability but, avoidant. Very good at comforting and giving security too. Not a fan of change and look for long term stuff and like predictability since letting go isn’t easy for them.

Mars in Gemini can be super into raps, and also for some reason, they like stopping conflicts and arguments between two people? Also, I see these folks have this attitude of If you wanna fix me, then let's break up here and now lmao. They want arguments to be winded up super quick lmao. They can also have a hard time picking sides, commits as easily and leaves things incomplete as easily. A big fan of change.

Mars in Cancer for some reason are quite passive. I spoke about how Taurus Mars doesn’t avoid accountability but are avoidant to confrontation, but most people I’ve seen with Cancer Mars just fold during arguments, like they won’t direct the blame but not take it either? They want to maintain peace but at what cost lmao. That can make them tough to be with people who are willing to change behaviours through accountability for their betterment tbh. But as expected, they are super protective OVER you and their loved ones if they’re really into you or else they avoid arguments lmao.

Mars in Leo are people who go big. In love? BIG promises. To themselves for accomplishing things? BIG promises and goals. Very ambitious, and depending on how diligent they are, they would fulfil those. Low-key flashy with what they have lmao. Very good at comforting and giving security too. Hard to let go of things if that was something they genuinely wanted and it wasn’t just ego boost. Tough to admit things lmao, not that they never.

Mars in Virgo people are so good at talking back lmao. Very hardworking and persistent, and very much at service of others. Very helping and kind by nature. One thing I’ve seen is they really end up saying things they don’t mean during arguments. Also let go of arguments very quick.

Mars in Libra are very competitive I’ve seen. And it’s not in the sense of covet, it’s just something natural? It’s almost like they have this attachment to being the best everywhere, maybe even at places it’s not quite necessary? Very good at winning arguments and also getting things on their side. Very much a vibe of “Ladies don’t start fights but can finish them”.

Mars in Scorpio are such intense people omg, they are a different intense than Mars in Aries people, who leave things pretty fast as it cools down and don’t attach personal meaning to everything. This absolutely isn’t the case with Mars in Scorpio people, they DO attach personal meaning to their struggles, goals, arguments, everything and can get absolutely intense in such ordeals, much like their sister sign, Mars in Taurus, things are etched in their hearts and minds. Very passionate but also super moody, they don’t have a ritual to let things go, it can happen over years or in a minute, unexpectedly, that’s what makes them super unpredictable. The energy currency is spent to their liking and is driven by pure emotions and less logic. They can worship and tarnish, both really well.

Mars in Sagittarius people usually never admit their fault lmao and I also see they don’t really take things very seriously. Always to the next best thing in life, they don’t hold on to stuff and sulk more than necessary. Learn things very well, and always have a life lmao, either it’s a big friend group or maybe hobbies or maybe binging stuff, they don’t centre their life around anything or anyone lmao. Very opinionated.

Mars in Capricorn are very similar to Taurus Mars but also different. Let me explain, these people are actually SUPER opinionated and don’t budge, at all, like not at all. It’s like running in circles, you can reason with them, they will reason with you, but the conclusion is always the same lmao of course until THEY randomly feel you’re right. Their self worth is attached to how much they have, and can give you. Security is major and is something important more than you could imagine. Someone who’d say “I’d only be with you if i can take care of everything” but then amidst all this, they forget other important things, like feelings and interests and other things that probably are as if not more important. They don’t give up on anything ever. Don’t take criticism very well but would think about secretly. Very protective and also….possessive. The difference between them and Taurus Mars is majorly emotional intelligence, I’ve found Taurus Mars to be far more emotionally attuned making easier to deal with.

Mars in Aquarius have so much energy and potential but they also have 261472017 things they want to do so they’re never able to fix themselves and ground their energy into one thing particularly to reap rewards and that’s the tough part because they need to attribute to something consistently to reap rewards, which are usually big. They should not give up suddenly and randomly and waste their own efforts over instant gratification and wanting the best of ALL worlds lmao.

Mars in Pisces people are very confusing to me in the sense that, I somehow feel they are always wanting to show their best, show how they’re so worth it even to people who shouldn’t matter. There is this almost a need to appear strong and unbothered? They’re actually very sweet. Men with this placement can sometimes have this concept of being masculine that can sometimes turn toxic, and make them seem superficial and manipulative with their efforts and intentions, which really depends.

I agree a lot here TBH. I think a lot of people struggle with this specifically because so much of shipping is itself heavily fanon-based. No matter how you interact with a ship, you're way more likely to run into the heavily fanonized, racist slop yaoi as opposed to the Good Stuff. It leaves you deprived of the actual Good Stuff that considers their dynamic, struggles, and history together. I know a lot of people who are turned away from the ship solely BECAUSE of how prevalent the racist chicken yaoi is, and that really sucks because truthfully there is a lot one could look at and enjoy there.

I feel like we as a fandom really need to like. Sit down an re-examine ships from a non fanon lense, cause if I have to hear people complains that Bruise is inherently a bad/low quality ship I’ll loose my mind. Like stop looking at xyz’s racist unseasoned chicken yaoi fanart and actually watch the damn show while paying attention to their dynamic. It will do wonders

I was able to watch 2 episodes today of spn s8 and im pretty excited to continue this season. I need to dissect dean this season i wanna know whats happening in that brain of his.

Ep 3 -farmers market, idk what makes these special in America we usually find farmers in traditional tents or stands beside the street selling their stuff cheaper than supermarkets.

-okay but like why did she look so cool ripping his heart out.

-theyre arguing. Sam had a taste of the normal life again of course he wants it, while Dean got a taste of the worse life and finally got back his "normal" life.

-sam wants to go back to uni, TBH im kinda on sams side he wants to go back to the normal life he had before hunting and he deserves it, actually thinking about it both of the brothers deserve a normal life. But I know it'll be hard for dean to leave it as it is now his stability.

-ew pls no.

-OKAY GOOD SHE WAS HIS WIFE NOT HIS MAMA.

-im very very very uncomfortable pls let this end.

-YES THANK YOU HE STABBED HER.

-And the argument continues.

Ep 4 -i really enjoy these types of films they feel raw and real, plus the horror aspect of it hits better.

-IS THAT DR SHEN FROM THE PITT?!??

-"clear eyes and clogged arteries, can't lose". Dean always says the most magnificent sentences about food.

-awesome.

-for some reason my brain is making a connection between Dean letting her go and Benny, idk if my brain is cooking or not??

(Went out with my family today and doodled the winchesters brothers quickly. I thought about using my ocs species on them instead of just making them headless lol, maybe one day ill post my ocs cuz i love those idiots so much).

SEVERANCE 2x10 | "They give us half a life and think we won't fight for it."

if we're going to have capitalism, and we're going to continue the fiction that advertising meaningfully works, we may as well have ads on walls as art. The soviet union ran into this problem where, for a hot second, the walls and streets were bare, magazines felt kind of weird and it looked fucked up. they then replicated western style advertisements wholesale, but for just. Concepts? Like. "try going on a hike!" "saunas are nice!" "have you tried spruce tea?" "exercising is cool!" And certainly there was more politically motivated and nationalist propaganda in there as well. But, i think the main purpose it serves is to give some variety. Putting up agitprop or an ad for coca cola is a lot less ideological to the average person on the street, it's mostly just to give you something to look at and break up the monotony of the brick walls. While the USSR also had mural art and public art projects to stick up on the walls (famously, in occupied Warsaw, they had a ton of unique neon signs) they ran into the same sort of problem we in the west have. When something is considered "Art" we have a harder time deciding what goes where. if it's an advertisement or PSA or agitprop you can pretend it has some sort of practical purpose as to where it's placed. It's a WAY shorter decision making process than deciding where some sort of mural or painting or sculpture is going to go, because first you have to decide what the artwork means, and if that singular artist gets to decide what images the public have to view, etc. etc. SO! we need an abstraction to decide what we'll put on the walls to abdicate the responsibility of making some moral judgement on every artwork that goes up. may as well be an ad for coca cola or the concept of workplace safety. Plus, one of the advantages (in a prior age) to ads occupying every conceivable space in american cities is that it allowed artists to be employed making them. Using their creative talents to make signs, and magazine adverts, clever wordplay in jingles etc. etc. You HAD to employ some number of creatives, who could then actually do what they enjoyed for a living, instead of keeping artistic creation as a hobby for the idle rich. It's why it was also why the pulp era of disposable fiction was so nice. you could be a salaried writer making enough to eat and pay rent instead of having to be a waiter who also gets paid 5 bucks per submission to university subsidized undergrad literary magazines.

and the thing is, it's all a bit of a fiction, there's solid evidence (that I don't feel like looking up tbh) that corporate advertisement doesn't really work much of the time. It's sort of a black hole that large companies pour their money into that more or less privately subsidized the arts. BUT, if we ever ever ever realize that and any company decides to stop covering times square in billboards, it leads to economic collapse. how the hell do you pay to maintain television, radio broadcasts, the internet as a whole, any of it at all, without ad revenue? you can't advertise to get people to pay for a subscription to a channel or website without pre existing tv, radio, websites like youtube, already existing and playing ads, which won't exist if we realize that something like 99.99% of ads don't even get looked at and those that do are mostly tuned out, leading to these services ceasing to function. almost like a capitalist form of collectivism, they're paying their ad revenue tax so that it's possible to continue sending ads that might maybe work. Anyway, yeah I agree though that whoever invented gas station tv ads needs to be drawn and quartered. entrails set aflame. broken on the wheel.

Thinking about advertising

Now, many of my mutuals, and those in the broader circle, hate advertising of all kinds with a passion. Real "ban it all, I fucking hate it, nothing of value"

And I'm a lot more nuanced on it? I simply can't get worked up about billboards and wall ads in and of themselves. There's harm in parts of advertising, from the way edited beauty ads cause body dysphoria to how tobacco and alcohol ads encourage addiction. But like a big ad for "Buy this watch, a hot guy wears it" doesn't really cause this urge to destroy that other people have.

The place I do find it annoying is ads at the gas pump. Just incredibly annoying stuff. Loud, irritating, in a way that visual ads aren't.

Audio ads do bug me more — especially repetitive ones. I think a lot more people would've been open to streaming ads if it didn't seem like they were the same 1-2 ads replayed on every ad break.
