Moon Signs:

Aries: Understanding the world through the palms of your hands. Touching everything that is tangible. Internal temper-tantrums that make your blood run hot. Struggling to contain your emotions; being outraged one minute, and playful the next. A secret adrenaline junkie. Being addicted to doing things the hard way. Becoming passionate about new ideas too easily. Becoming passionate about new people too easily. Falling in love quickly and roughly. Looking through eyes that watch the world burn, manic and breathless. You are the infinitely relight-able fuse at the end of a firework, or a bomb.

Taurus: A slave to familiarity. Possessing a dragon hoard consisting of antiques, or the things in which you treasure most. Speaking before you think. The lavish romantic; lover of good times and calm surroundings. The pursuit of pleasure. Slow to forget, slower to forgive. Unfamiliar with compromise. The Aphrodite of love, and the Dionysus of luxury. A social butterfly, yet undoubtedly loyal. A distaste for messy emotional outbursts; being naturally self-contained. Guided by the firm, steady hand of desire. You are the lady and the lord, peaceable and regal and charming in all things. 

Gemini: Feeling with your mind, being frustrated with emotions you can’t logically understand. The uncontrollable urge to interact with others, needing intellectual stimulation in order to function. Studying a billion different subjects in one day. A lover of literature, or just simply the words of people. Distancing yourself from emotion, never really knowing how you ‘feel’ about an issue. Always the Devil’s advocate. Constantly trying new things; needing change to keep both of your personalities happy. You are the mental immigrant, comfortable only when you’re foreign.

Cancer: Omnipotent in regards to emotions. Fearing change, and hating superficiality. The unexpected jokester. Moods that change faster than the weather. The emotional hoarder; fears throwing away anything at all. Falling into their own pain like a well and drowning themselves in it. Adopting all types of people into your ‘family’. Their own worst enemy. Offense taken towards indifference. The passive-aggressive problem avoider who leaves a trail of crumbs for their partner. You are the sea witch, who has the depth of the entire world contained inside of her, threatening to spill out.

Leo: Praying to the stars to make you one of them. Wanting to burst from a lack of affection, or attention. Hands that flail dramatically while telling a story. Needing confirmation that somebody really does love you, and feeling terribly vulnerable because of it. Wanting to shout your love, and hatred, from the hilltops- like an actor in a bad movie. Smiles that make people believe in heaven. Being painfully defensive when someone hurts your pride. Acting kingly or queenly when a situation gets uncomfortable. You are the physical embodiment of the sun, come down from the sky to bring light to Earth.

Virgo: Secretly enjoying the little things that you’re appreciated for. The woman who hides behind the fan to avoid unwanted attention. Routines biggest cheerleader. The best counselor you will ever encounter. The fine eye that takes a sledgehammer to their own self-esteem. The original skeptic. Raised eyebrows at those who put their faith blindly. A face of apathy, and a mind of curiosity. Surrounding yourself with invisible barriers, hoping that somebody finds a way through them. You are the analyst, struck the hardest by your own discerning eye.

Libra: Inevitably becoming the mediator in all conversations. Deep-seated desires to mold your life into the perfect balance of both Yin and Yang. Debating an issue for so long that everybody around you groans. A refined, attractive aura that makes you seem doubly gracious. The war for peace. Falling in love so, so young. Always feeling fickle. Having to have the last word. Finding your own strength through other people. Feeling so intensely vulnerable because of your uncertainties. You are the gentle judge, who will not cede when staring into the eyes of unfairness.

Scorpio: Not accepting any gray areas in life, living in a world of black and white. Emotions so intense that your teeth chatter, even while your face remains stoic. Living a secret life as a private investigator. Feeling raw when you fall in love, because of how deeply it cuts you. Being horribly satisfied with your obsessions. Internally burning down everything you once knew in order to be reborn. A phoenix in your own right. Looking into the mirror in order to confront your own demons, seeing dirty words stamped onto your forehead. You are a white flag on fire, spitting in the face of surrender.

Sagittarius: Mr. Brightside and the lover of open space to roam. Feeling gagged by routine, like a dentist has her hands down your throat. Throwing yourself off of the cliff towards possibility; getting taken advantage of. That deep-seated desire to leave an impression on people, like goose pimples after a gust of cold air. Being a little too honest. Experiencing highs and lows that make you seem like you’re more than one person. Naturally enthused. Always searching for something. You are the mistress of experience, bold and wild and feeding off of the knowledge of the unexpected.

Capricorn: Seeming to be cool and steady, even when you feel like screaming. Possessing a deep, undeniable need for security- in all areas of life. Dreaming of building kingdoms with your bare hands. Being embarrassed, but pleased when somebody compliments you. Being too hard on yourself, and experiencing black moods because of it. Hiding your sensitivity behind biting, but nonetheless amusing sarcasm. Wanting to feel worthwhile in the world. Having a deep desire, and drive, to make something of yourself. You are the Titan Cronus, learning the lesson of the finiteness of mortality. 

Aquarius: Growing up and just feeling ‘different’. Loving all things messy, except emotions. Rejecting negative emotions because you hate feeling jealous, or fearful. Compassion through philosophy.  The starry-eyed professor, mad scientist, or general genius. Becoming so immersed into your own goals that you forget your reasons for said goals. Attracting all types in the eccentric crowds. Lovingly charming; struggling early on to find the medium between humor and offense. You are the electric shock of innovation upon society, bold and sharp and drastic as hell.

Pisces: The unrivaled mental space cadet. Intuition resembling psychic affinity. Caring for others so deeply, that their emotions make you feel like you’re underwater. Seeing pieces of yourself inside of everybody else. Being so excited for the future, you lose the present. Empathizing with everyone. Having secret worlds to retreat to, when reality is too awful. The natural performer. Being slightly jealous of mermaids/men. Loving everybody just a little bit. Having your heart broken more than once a day. You are the holy ghost, filled with divine love for all, and longing even more so.

When I first started, I had conversations with him, mostly one sided, where I'd talk about myself in a normal getting to know someone sense and I'd ask him questions about himself- what's your favorite color what do you like to eat shit like that, and I'd wait for him to show me the signs. I'd offer him a bite's worth of my dinner every night and ask him if he liked it. And wait. For the signs. I'd whisper my fears to him when I was afraid or alone and I'd ask him for strength. And I started to see the signs. It takes a long time, but just get to know him, incorporate him into various tasks in your life. Grocery shopping? Discuss with him the pros and cons of various foods and see what your impulses lead you toward, it could be him showing you a favorite item of his. Doing laundry? Take time to ask him about his day, and tell him the goings on in your life.

Even if you don't have a godphone. Do these things, and he'll find ways to answer you.

Are there any tips on getting to know Loki better? I'm just getting started with the whole thing, but I'm a bit overwhelmed..

Idk how many times I have to answer the same question guys????

Just talk to him. Study. Relax. Don’t freak yourself out.

I have tags for Loki. My friends have tags for Loki. Google has info for Loki.

Consider this my night off from answering questions, Game of Thrones is on (get hype)

So…my post about marriage in the Viking Age  has been taken by some as ammunition to support Sigyn leaving Loki because he’s snarky. And queer. Both which were documented reasons people got divorced. But, the point of the post screamed over some heads with record breaking speed and veered right. 

If Sigyn wanted to divorce Loki, she could and probably would have.

But she doesn’t. She, of her own volition and compassion and love for a husband who loves her just as much CHOOSES to hold the bowl. That doesn’t mean their union didn’t have rough patches. Its a complex queer polyamoury with multiple children by multiple partners…not a formulaic sitcom that fills time in between adverts for boner pills and car insurance. There was conflict. Resolutions. Nuances. Disclosure. No fanfic or UPG will change the work it takes to sustain a relationship. They both lose at least one son. To try and use the PTSD and duress that follows the Lokasenna to project some abuse narrative/damsel in distress/white knight bullshit is a gross disservice to the lore. And to Loki and Sigyn. And to queer polyamoury. And to—its just gross. I’m not calling anyone out specifically. Its a pretty rampant problem mindset in the community.

Is the heating gas or electric? Depending on the type you may want to ask about the fire alarm capabilities or the volt usage on the heater. Our electric bill was insane the first winter because we didn't realize the heat was electric.

When you guys have visited potential apartments, what kind of questions did you ask besides the basics like what rent and utilities include?

Here are questions I didn’t ask but should have: what does the basement look like?

What measures are taken to secure the building ?

Are the walls thin? Brief info of who lives in the building. Are they college kids? People that work through the day? Elderly? Is it a mix? Where does the garbage go?

Can I pay rent bi-weekly? What kind of fuses does the apartment use? (My fuse box is in the basement. If I blow a fuse I have to replace it myself. They screw until the box. All of which I didn’t know until it happened and I was sitting in the dark suddenly.)

Who do I call for repairs? (If it’s a private rental) Am I allowed to paint the walls? Is there any additional storage? Do you do regular pest control?

count the outlets, ask about recycling policies, ask if there’s a noise restriction (nothing loud after midnight, everything goes on the weekend, etc)

LAUNDRY FACILITIES Definitely ask about security Whether subletting is allowed (esp if you’re in college and might want to sublet for the summer) If you have a car, whether there’s parking/how much it costs What kind of heating/AC there is Procedure/response time for any maintenance How mail/packages are received/protected from theft (seriously people stealing your packages can be a huge problem) What kind of verification of your salary will they want, and in what circumstances will they accept a guarantor instead? Whether the apartment is furnished

Assuming you are in the middle of looking at/choosing between places: When does the lease start? Are you going to give preference to people based on when they can move in? Whether groups of a certain number of people get preference Really anything about who they prioritize for applications, it can save you a lot of trouble in trying to apply to places you’ll never get into

not something for asking the realtors, necessarily, but important rights you should be aware of as a tenant:

when and for what reasons are your landlords allowed to enter your home? how much of a notice should they give you before entering?

can the landlord make modifications to your home or apartment without your approval? to what extent?

what are the options and conditions for breaking your lease early if there’s an emergency? (this is ESPECIALLY important for anyone moving to a new state/considerable distance where you are not able to visit the apartment/home before you rent – students get taken advantage of ALL THE TIME with this shit)

if your first or last month at the property is a partial stay (i.e. you move in on july 15th, and rent is typically due on the first) make sure you don’t pay the full first month’s rent before you know the area laws! in many states, you are only legally required to pay for the time you are occupying the property

is renter’s insurance necessary? many apartments want at least 30k coverage, which can run a couple hundred dollars extra per year

are the landlords/property management liable for crimes on the property? for example, if your car was broken into. if not GET RENTER’S INSURANCE

Is there a pet policy? Deposit/monthly rent?

Can I get a checklist of things that need to be done/fixed to get my deposit back at the end? (They should provide this for you - do a walkthrough when you’re looking and have them point out what they want done. You’ll want that money back!!)

Check the outlets, bring your phone charger and plug it in to test!

If there isn’t laundry in the apartment, can they install a washer and dryer for a fee? (Happened to a friend for 50 bucks more, she could’ve have a washer dryer put in. What the hell it’s worth it, trust me.)

Is it a smoking complex? Some in AZ are non-smoking.

Has anyone died in the apartment? (Maybe this is dumb but I just read about someone who found out the previous tenant committed suicide in her place. Not good.)

Being a Lokean in a nutshell

[lokiloser-blog]

I have already claimed his head for Ragnarok. Y'all can do whatever else you want to him, but in the end he's mine.

He sets alive a fire in my that makes me want to scream for various complicated reasons, but most of all the bastardization of my husband and our afterlife.

For those who don’t know him by name, this completely obnoxious religious bigot Rick Riordan rrriordan is the author of the wildly overrated Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, as well as spinoff series about Egyptian and Roman deities, and an upcoming series about Norse deities.

Please note that in context (as you will be able to tell from the sources), this is not a case of “I didn’t know that was still a religion, I didn’t mean to be insulting.” He is well aware that polytheistic religions centering on the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman Gods still exist as legitimate practices, and just doesn’t consider them worthy of the same concern or care that his beliefs are, because non-Christian religions are secondary to Christianity (see: his grand rant about how even the Greek Gods would admit that the Christian god is better than them; it’s in fucking Lightning Thief, reason #1382 Lightning Thief is a terrible book).

Sources in order are:

“More Greek God weirdness.”x “Weird article on Norse mythology.”x “Greek gods no longer illegal in Greece” x(he does not do a good job of explaining the backstory here that the post title refers to and I would be happy to explain the situation in Greece to anyone upon request but in summary worshiping the Greek Gods in Greece was illegal until 2006 and is still liable to get you attacked) “Mythology and censorship”x
