- what do i want?

(a hyunsung short fic; do not take this srsly!!)

From a different view, these two together was unthinkable. Han Jisung and Hwang Hyunjin were always bickering, so getting along was as if the world was ending. After some time in the closet to think over their feelings, they came out as...close friends. Very close. Close enough for people to think that they were dating. Close enough for them to feel their cheeks warm when they’re together. Like now.

Jisung giggled into Hyunjin’s dark long hair as he was carried around on the other’s back in the green meadows.

“Jinnie, where are we going?”

“Shush, it’s a surprise. Ask that question one more time and I swear I’ll drop you.” Hyunjin threatened, contrasting the smile he wore on his face as he walked deeper through the flowers.

The sun shone high in the blue sky, so vividly blue yet the air was warm and breezy that it made the scent of blooming flowers sweet. It was perfect.

Jisung closed his eyes and felt the warm sunbeams kiss his face. He grinned.

“Jinnie, where are we going?”

Jisung’s eyes shot open as he felt himself falling backwards. With a thump, he felt himself land against the hard ground.

“Ow!” He whined, staring up at Hyunjin’s raised eyebrow and smile.

“I told you not to ask me that again. That’s on you for testing my patience. Lucky for you, we’re here.”

Jisung sat up and stared at the beautiful surroundings around him. They were on a hilltop, the yellow flowers littered the area below. Bright butterflies fluttered nearby, one stopping to land on his nose. He blinked, and stared at it’s slowly flapping wings, before it flew away at the sound of a camera click.

“You look so cute.” Hyunjin smiled, doting on his new favorite photo. “The butterfly must’ve thought you were some pretty flower.”

Jisung blushed, and grabbed Hyunjin’s wrist to pull him down next to him. “...You’re the pretty flower here. How’d you know of this place anyways?”

“Ha. It’s actually because my car ran out of gas one day, so I had to wait for a tow truck to come.” Hyunjin scratched the back of his neck, embarrassed. “I decided to wander around until they came and I found this. Ever since, I’ve come whenever I needed a place to think. It’s a special place, and...you’re the only one who knows about it now too.”

Jisung smirked. “Does that mean I’m special to you?”

Hyunjin felt his ears begin to warm as he rolled his eyes. “I don’t know. Why else would I show this place to you?”

Jisung raised an eyebrow and turned to look forwards again.

And tackled Hyunjin to the green grassy floor.

“-Oomf!” Hyunjin grunted as he made contact, feeling his waist enveloped in Jisung’s arms. He looked down in surprise, and felt his cheeks turn crimson when he saw Jisung’s face look back up at him.

“That’s kinda gay.”

“We’re both gay.”

Hyunjin laughed, and cupped the other’s cheek.

“Jisung, what do you want from life? I’m curious.”

“What do I want? How can I think about what I want when all I want right now is you?” Jisung blurted out, slamming his mouth shut as soon as he finished. He looked at Hyunjin’s pink cheeks, knowing he probably looked the exact same at that moment.

Hyunjin’s smile met his sparkling eyes. “Well you can start thinking about it. Because I’m yours, and you’re mine.”

Their lips touched, kisses as light as a fluffy cloud. Hyunjin pulled himself closer to Jisung, deepening their kiss before pulling away.

“That was our first kiss.” He giggled, interlacing his fingers with Jisung’s.

“I already want our second.” Jisung whined.

Hyunjin landed a kiss on his forehead. “You can have one in a bit. The flutter is about to take off.”

“A what?”

“A flutter. It’s what you call a group of butterflies that fly together.” Hyunjin smiled, pulling Jisung up.

The two stared towards the pinkening sky, and slowly but surely, one by one butterflies began taking off as a cluster. They flew left and right, up and down, covering the sunset sky above the two as they held hands. As the last of the butterflies began leaving, Hyunjin turned to Jisung.

“Just like those butterflies, I want to fly with someone. And I want to flutter with you.” He smiled.

“Then we’ll just have to fly forever.”

Their lips touched, too focused on each other to notice the few butterflies decorating their hair and clothing as the stars began to shine.

Alternative Story Structures/Patterns (a.k.a how to avoid that damn triangle) 

Disclaimer: these are all taken from Jane Alison's Meander, Spiral, Explode under the idea that we should draw more from patterns in nature when structuring works of fiction. Alison is a white woman, and a lot of non-western storytelling (especially utilizing different structures other than the triangle/wave) was pioneered by Authors of Color. I highly recommend you also research types of non-western nonlinear storytelling that Authors of Color have been utilizing and pioneering way before western storytellers even began to think about them. Here's a great article, and here's another one to begin your research there!

I'm gonna start each section with a quote from Meander, Spiral, Explode that I think explains them best, and then extrapolate where I can from there!

Waves

I've already discussed this one! If you wanna know my thoughts and feelings about the wave (a.k.a Evil Triangle That Might Have Some Uses, Maybe) you can check out this post here!

Wavelets

"Once I translated the dramatic arc to a wave, I began to think that energy in narrative might also flow in smaller waves, wavelets. Dispersed patterning, a sense of ripple or oscillation, little ups and downs, might be more true to human experience than a single crashing wave: I'm more likely to feel some tension, a small discovery, a tiny change, a relapse. The same epiphanies every week..."

I love the idea of this, and her comparison to the human experience. I feel like we sort of tried to accomplish this by adding various peaks to the original triangle, but sometimes a narrative can have multiple waves. She talks a lot about how this can show up as patterning in stories as well, moving back and forth between two different energies that could be important to a character, back and forth between motivations. I don't know if that makes any sense, wavelets aren't really my style, but I know they'll resonate with someone, because what are we doing if not trying to connect to the human experience?

Meanders

"A meander begins at one point and moves towards a final one, but with digressive loops. Italo Calvino says that "digression is a strategy for putting off the ending, a multiplying of time within the work, a perpetual evasion or flight. Flight from what? From death of course!" The Meander river in Turkey gave us the word, and speaking of how an actual river flows, Peter Stevens (in Patterns in Nature) says it "winds and turns in a quiet but seemingly desperate manner to avoid the straight schuss to the bottom"... In either case, there's deliberate slowness, a delight in curving this way or that, luxuriating in diversions, carving slow labyrinths of time."

OHHHHH THE MEANDERING NARRATIVE. I do enjoy this one, it isn't my favorite, but it is very very good. I specifically love the part she mentions about the narrative being afraid to reach its end. Sometimes characters meander, they want to experience the slowness, to stop and enjoy the things that are going on around them before moving forward with the plot. If you learn how to use the meander to your advantage, people who have a tendency to under-write could seriously be helped out by trying to do this. Also, sometimes people's minds just wander. Why should a narrative not wander too? A river will always end up spilling out somewhere, after all.

Spirals

"A spiraling narrative could be a helix winding downward– into a character's soul, or deep into the past– or it might wind upward, around and around to a future. Near repetitions, but moving onward. What gives a spiraling narrative a good sense of ending? Good question, for spirals could go on forever."

and also

"I wonder if first-person retrospective narratives– especially obsessive ones– might naturally follow a vortex."

Can you tell which quote gave me my epiphany about Verity and To Make a Fool of Death? Maybe it's mixed in with the radial narrative (right below this!!) but a spiraling narrative is truly a beautiful thing. This one and the radial one are both truly very deeply character focused, which makes me happy. The idea of telling a story based around a character, or just always coming back to the central of the character, is deeply fascinating. At another point in this chapter, she compares the spiral narrative to like the spiraling of a panic attack: you start thinking, and then you think more, and the problem becomes bigger, and you just keep going and then you cannot stop. Whether your spiraling narrative is fast, slow, or somewhere in between (not even gonna go off on a tangent about combining some of the patterns like a meandering spiral), it wanders around but remains true to the central core of what STARTED the panic attack, and will always have come from that true center.

Radials or Explosions

"Unlike in a spiral, the story itself– the incidents we see dramatized– barely moves forward in time. Instead, a reader might have a sense of being drawn again and again to a hot core– or, conversely, of trying to get away from that core. You might already know the end at the start and get many fractured views of things avoiding that moment. You might feel a sense of violent scatteration from a central point. Radials can be centrifugal or centripetal, but linear they are not."

This one might just be my favorite. Her example for it is truly perfect, too. She uses Gabriel García Márquez's Chronicle of a Death Foretold to talk about the point of this one. The entire story revolves around the death of this one man, we know he's going to die from the beginning of the story, and everyone else knows it too. We get the reactions of people to the idea of his death, the effect his death has on others, the WHY of his murder, and so on and so forth. The entire story centers around the hot core of the death of the main character, and that is BEAUTIFUL. I don't know what else to say about this kind of narrative outside of that example, because it does exactly what the radial/explosive narrative requires of it. Vignettes that all center around a big, dramatic point. That kind of thing. I love it, I can't get enough.

Networks or Cells

"So, again, any complex narrative will be a little spatial: certainly the spiraling or radial ones we looked at are. I think the idea of spatiality becomes most clear in cellular texts made discrete parts that gain power through patterns of images or ideas rather than sequential incidents." [section removed where she's talking about three examples provided to prove her point] "In all three, no linear chronology makes the parts cohere; instead, you draw the lines."

and also

"Translating to natural patters, I think of Peter Stevens's words about honeycombs or foam: 'chunks of space, miniature rooms, each one different from its neighbors and yet perfectly interlocked with those neighbors'."

I feel like these really speak for themselves. Think like... a short story collection, right, where all of the stories are seemingly unrelated, but you're able to connect the dots in your own mind and realize how these narratives are actually entwined in some truly beautiful ways? This method places a lot of trust on the reader, and I think that's important. As long as you have readers who have an ounce of critical thinking skills, of course. Stories like this are particularly interesting, especially when you as a writer have to decide how to subtly connect them all, or how MUCH you even want them to be connected.

Fractals

"The most fractal works– meaning fractals of fractals– were stream-of-consciousness narratives, although it's not clear whether that style reveals depths of consciousness or the writer's imagination. But fractals forming the shape of a whole narrative are what interest me: Texts that start with a "seed" or blueprint that spawns several more."

and also, in reference to Caryl Phillips' Crossing the River, an example of a Fractal Narrative:

"Instead the book is polyphonic, taking the points of view of four characters and delivering them in different styles: letters, diary entries, mixtures of third person and first. Yet the stories all grow from a single seed..."

I cut off the last one, but to give some context: Phillips' Crossing the River is the point of view of four characters across time periods that are stories that are inherently related to each other, in that they all stem from the same fractured point, but the linear plot lines do not connect. That's why it's so interesting. It kind of reminds me of the butterfly effect, right, but in a narrative sense. One action that someone takes will fracture, splitting across the story and creating so many smaller, new stories that are just as integral and wouldn't have happened without that first fracture. Will it all come together and will the fracture heal and reconnect at the end? Idk, maybe, it can. It's more of an exercise in seeing what happens based off of one simple event.

Additionally...

She has an entire chapter at the end called "Tsunami?" where she talks about David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, which is like... a wave, right, a symmetrical wave, but SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. Remember in "networks or cells" where I was talking about stories that don't seem to be connected but then there's a beautiful through line that somehow magically connects them all? And then in the wave post, when I talk about symmetry and traveling up the wave and down the wave so that the end reflects the beginning again? Cloud Atlas does all of that and more. I couldn't recommend this book enough. It's impossible to explain. It's perfectly written. I honestly don't even really consider it one of my favorite books, but I know that it has FEW rivals for how actually good it is. And, again, PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE.

If anyone wants extrapolation on any of these specifically, I'd be happy to talk about them in their own individual posts, if you've got something specific you want to know more about!! I mean fuck, I might write more about them later on just because I want to and I have feelings. All I really did here was just kinda explain them. And, once again, I encourage you to seek the perspectives of Authors of Color for this one as well. Countries that aren't North American/European have been doing this way longer than us, and those formats deserve some fucking respect.

I also of course have a few people that have asked to be tagged in my posts like this, and if you'd like to add yourself to this list, please let me know! I'll be posting a bunch of these as I go through grad school, so there's a lot to learn! @approximately20eggs @faeriegutz @moonscribbler @marigoldispeculiar

How to Understand Astrological Placements

It is a simple three-step process.

STEP 1: Know the difference between Planets, Signs and Houses.

Planets are the sources of energies that influence our lives. For example, Jupiter is the source of abundance, Venus is the source of beauty, and Mercury is the source of intelligence.

Signs are the categories of our personalities. To illustrate, Cancer is a nurturing personality, Libra is a harmonious personality, and Pisces is an intuitive personality.

Houses are the areas of our lives. Such as, the Second House is the area of our money, the Sixth House is the area of our health, and the Seventh House is the area of our partnerships.

STEP 2: Know what each Planet, Sign and House represents.

THE PLANETS IN A NUTSHELL

Sun – Source of your stamina

Moon – Source of your instincts

Mercury – Source of your intelligence

Venus – Source of your beauty

Mars – Source of your aggression

Jupiter – Source of your abundance

Saturn – Source of your ambitions

Uranus – Source of your eccentricity

Neptune – Source of your intuition

Pluto – Source of your power

THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE OF THE SIGNS

Aries – Driven and dominating personality

Taurus – Tenacious and stubborn personality

Gemini – Sociable and deceptive personality

Cancer – Nurturing and passive-aggressive personality

Leo – Brave and prideful personality

Virgo – Disciplined and critical personality

Libra – Harmonious and fickle personality

Scorpio – Passionate and vindictive personality

Sagittarius – Optimistic and tactless personality

Capricorn – Determined and greedy personality

Aquarius – Humanistic and emotionally detached personality

Pisces – Intuitive and escapist personality

THE ROOMS OF THE HOUSES

The First House of Self – Area of your self worth, your confidence, how you judge yourself, what you believe your purpose to be.

The Second House of Value – Area of your finances, the money that you earn, whatever you consider as your valuable possessions.

The Third House of Communication – Area of your contracts, the messages you receive, the conversations you have, how you express yourself.

The Fourth House of Home – Area of your actual home, the people you live with, whatever you define to be your foundation as a person.

The Fifth House of Pleasure – Area of your creative passions, your children, the things and places that give you comfort and happiness.

The Sixth House of Routine – Area of your daily life, your health and energy, your schedule at work, your projects and assignments.

The Seventh House of Relationships – Area of your romantic and sex life, your business partnerships, the one person you consider closest to you.

The Eighth House of Transformation – Area of your evolution as a person, what others find mysterious about you, rewards other people will give you.

The Ninth House of Philosophy – Area of your adventures, your beliefs, your learnings in terms of spirituality, what you wish to explore.

The Tenth House of Reputation – Area of your career, your place in the world, how you want other people to see you, your public image.

The Eleventh House of Community – Area of your close friends, your outer circle, the causes that you care about, where you stand in society.

The Twelfth House of Secrets – Area of your own secrets as well as truths that have been kept from you, your intuition, your deepest dreams.

STEP 3: Interpret them all together.

Now that you understand what each of them means, you should be able to interpret any placement simply by combining them.

Pluto in Scorpio in the Seventh House If Pluto is the source of power… Scorpio is a passionate and vindictive personality… and the Seventh House is the area of relationships, then:

A man with this placement has very powerful (Pluto) emotions for the people in his life (Seventh House). He is exceptionally kind and protective towards those he loves (Scorpio), but extremely hateful and dangerous towards those he considers his enemies (Scorpio).

Jupiter in Leo in the Fourth House If Jupiter is the source of abundance… Leo is a brave and prideful personality… and the Fourth House is the area of home, then:

A young girl with this placement could someday have a truly amazing family life (Fourth House). She could marry a wealthy man (Jupiter), and their beautiful, intelligent or talented children would be the source of her pride (Leo).

Neptune in Capricorn in the Ninth House If Neptune is the source of intuition… Capricorn is a determined and greedy personality… and the Ninth House is the area of philosophy, then:

Someone with this placement has the potential to become a cult leader. Spiritual dogma (Ninth House) will be very easy for them to create (Neptune). And their ambitions could push them to preach it to others (Capricorn).

All you need to memorize are the 10 Planets, the 12 Signs and the 12 Houses. Using that knowledge, you can easily assess anyone’s personality and make reliable predictions about their destiny.

How to Understand Astrological Aspects

When you know what they really mean, aspects are not at all intimidating.

STEP 1: Think of the planets as people.

SUN

This planet rules Leo, so think of the Sun as that. Someone fiery, positive, active and extroverted. Charming and childlike, fun and protective. Can also be hot-tempered, arrogant and egotistic.

MOON

This planet rules Cancer, so think of the Moon as that. Someone caring, nurturing, motherly and healing. Sensitive yet strong. Can also be passive-aggressive, clingy, needy and moody.

MERCURY

This planet rules Gemini and Virgo, so think of Mercury as their combination. Someone who straddles extroversion and introversion. Intelligent and sociable but can be manipulative and critical.

VENUS

This planet rules Taurus and Libra, so think of Venus as their combination. Someone who enjoys comfort and beauty. Not shy, but not loud either. Soft yet tough. Can be too vain and self-indulgent.

MARS

This planet rules Aries, so think of Mars as that. Someone ambitious, brave, daring and leader-like. Craves friendship while staying independent. Can be dominating, aggressive and controlling.

JUPITER

This planet rules Sagittarius, so think of Jupiter as that. Someone quite lighthearted, communicative, open-minded and optimistic. Can also be too childish, lazy, unreliable and tactless.

SATURN

This planet rules Capricorn, so think of Saturn as that. Someone very patient, strategic-minded, bold and motivated. Determined yet pessimistic. Can also be selfish, cruel, cynical and ruthless.

URANUS

This planet rules Aquarius, so think of Uranus as that. Someone friendly, altruistic, smart and innovative. And yet too scattered sometimes in the way they think. Can also be cold and detached.

NEPTUNE

This planet rules Pisces, so think of Neptune as that. Someone creative, sweet, romantic, intuitive, sensitive and mystical. Can also be too dependent, unrealistic, fearful and self-pitying.

PLUTO

This planet rules Scorpio, so think of Pluto as that. Someone dark and mysterious. Very passionate, loving, loyal and intense. Can also be vindictive, paranoid, vengeful and brutal.

STEP 2: Think of the aspects as rooms.

CONJUNCTION (0°)

This is when two planets are in the same room, sitting right next to each other. Hence zero degrees apart — as if there is zero distance between them.

Depending on their personalities, they may or may not get along. Some might like having someone so close by, while others may resent having their personal space invaded.

SEXTILE (60°)

This is when two planets are in the same room, with a comfortable space between the two of them. Hence 60 degrees apart — not too near, not too far.

They get to enjoy the freedom to move around, as well as the other planet’s company. Best of both worlds. The two of them are very happy.

SQUARE (90°)

This is when two planets find themselves together in the same room, with each planet blocking the other’s view. Hence 90 degrees apart — not really close, but still close enough to disturb one another’s line of sight.

Say, one is blocking the TV, while the other is blocking the mountains through the window. Annoyed, they both keep yelling at each other to move over.

TRINE (120°)

This is when two planets are occupying neighboring rooms. Say, one is in the kitchen, cooking; while the other is in the dining room, setting the table. Hence 120 degrees apart — with enough breathing space and distance to appreciate each other’s worth.

They are doing their own tasks, but they have a similar goal. Working in harmony, they both feel merry.

OPPOSITION (180°)

This is when two planets are in opposite rooms inside the same house, avoiding each other. Hence 180 degrees apart — truly distant, wanting nothing to do with one another.

Instead of actually enjoying their time, they spend all their effort trying to loudly ignore each other. Like two children needing the other kid to know they are angry with them.

STEP 3: Interpret them all together.

Now that you understand what each of them means, you should be able to interpret any aspect simply by combining them.

MARS CONJUNCT PLUTO

If Mars is aggressive and dominating… Pluto is vindictive and brutal… and a conjunction means the two of them are in the same room, sitting next to each other… then:

A woman born when Mars was conjunct Pluto is likely to be very athletic and competitive (Mars-Aries). But do not expect her to be fair or sportsmanlike. Her intensity and vengefulness (Pluto-Scorpio) might lead her to cheat and injure her opponents.

SATURN OPPOSITE NEPTUNE

If Saturn is determined and motivated… and Neptune is creative and intuitive… but they are in opposition, stopping each other from being their best… then:

When Saturn is opposite Neptune in the sky, we could all experience a time of high anxiety and low self-esteem. Our cynical and pessimistic side, which we usually succeed in suppressing (Saturn-Capricorn), could be dug up and brought to light by our heightened sense of fear and self-pity (Neptune-Pisces).

SUN TRINE JUPITER

If the Sun is positive and childlike… Jupiter is lighthearted and optimistic… and a trine means they are working together in harmony… then:

A man born when the Sun was trining Jupiter is likely to lead a very happy life. He could forgive wrongs easily, never letting pain linger in his heart (Sun-Leo). And whenever things are gloomy, his faith that they will get better sooner or later should always keep sadness at bay (Jupiter-Sagittarius).

All you need to remember are the temperaments of the 10 Planets and the effects of the 5 Major Aspects. Using that knowledge, you can easily assess anyone’s personality, and pay attention to the sky to make reliable predictions about humanity’s destiny.

[hyunsungbfs]

A stellium is a superpower.

If you have at least three planets in a sign or a house, that means the greatest powers of that area lie dormant within you. Dormant, because my family believes that without a connection to the gods that gave these powers, one’s control of one’s gifts will be unstable, erratic, or entirely non-existent.

Stellium in Aries or the First House

Mars has given you the power of ruthlessness. There is nothing you would not do, and no one in your way that you would not eliminate, to achieve a goal, a dream, a wish.

Stellium in Taurus or the Second House

Venus has given you the power of gratification. Out of everyone in this world, you have the biggest capacity for enjoying comfort, elegance, pleasure and bounty.

Stellium in Gemini or the Third House

Mercury has given you the power of cunning. Some will have more knowledge or wisdom than you. But you will exceed them in wit and shrewdness. They will not stand a chance.

Stellium in Cancer or the Fourth House

Diana has given you the power of instinct. Your first impressions will never be wrong. Your gut will always be precise. No mask can ever get past your piercing sight.

Stellium in Leo or the Fifth House

Apollo has given you the power of glory. The spotlight will follow you wherever you go. Lasting victory and the admiration of everybody have been attached to you since birth.

Stellium in Virgo or the Sixth House

Mercury has given you the power of sanity. Others will be blinded by love, ambition, hope or despair. But your sight will always be clear. No siren song can enchant you.

Stellium in Libra or the Seventh House

Venus has given you the power of seduction. Not only people, but also beauty in all its forms, will feel drawn towards you. You have the ability to attract grace and harmony.

Stellium in Scorpio or the Eighth House

Pluto has given you the power of sorcery. You will be able to hurt people simply by wishing them harm. Entities, good and malicious alike, would love to be under your command.

Stellium in Sagittarius or the Ninth House

Jupiter has given you the power of expansion. Whatever is good and pleasant in your life, you will always be able to magnify. And if you really try, joy will never leave your side.

Stellium in Capricorn or the Tenth House

Saturn has given you the power of stability. Others rise, and others fall. But your every step will be secure. You can keep climbing without ever worrying about slipping.

Stellium in Aquarius or the Eleventh House

Uranus has given you the power of novelty. Dullness and boredom will always plague other people. But you have the capacity to make every hour a real adventure.

Stellium in Pisces or the Twelfth House

Neptune has given you the power of spiritualism. People’s hearts and souls will be as visible to you as their body. You can use this for devilry or to shower others with empathy.  

As with all power, it can be a blessing or a curse. It all depends on how you wield it, and, if in the first place, you have what it takes to awaken it.

The Old Gods and Their Dominions

Like atheists and skeptics, I also think it is entirely stupid to think that random floating rocks in the sky have any effect on our lives. Except to my family, these rocks have no mind or agency of their own. Instead, they are avatars of our divinities. Puppets of the Greco-Roman gods they are named after. To us, astrology and paganism are one. When we look at how the planets are interacting, we see what our gods are doing.

WHEN L TUGS ON LIGHT’S SLEEVE IN THE ANIME. WHAT A SMALL GESTURE OF INTIMACY. IT SEEMS TO SAY “WE’RE CLOSE, I NEED YOUR ATTENTION AND YOU HAVE PROBABLY KILLED MANY PEOPLE. THANK YOU.”

PUNCHING EACH OTHER IN THE FACE SIMULTANEOUSLY. INTRICATE. RITUALS.

“it’ll be lonely, won’t it? you and i will be parting ways soon.”
