What happened to the other 36 children that were born on October 1st 1989?
Why is Reginald Hargreeves an alien?
Why did Abigail say "Thanks for protecting me on the moon" to Luther?
Why was Jennifer inside a squid?
What happened to Sloane when all the others got to another timeline?
Without the comics, there are still so many questions left unanswered in the umbrella academy show itself.. and it's driving me crazyyy

Astro observations pt.III 🐼LONER EDITION🐼
DO NOT PLAGIARISE MY WORK
All my observations are based on *personal* experiences
By- tarotenchantress🧚🏻♀️
I decided to make this post cause i too dont have alot of friends and decided to astro analyse
Here are some placements that indicate not having alot of friends, having a tough time making friends, feeling left out or sticking out in groups, not being able to stay in groups in general.
🐼saturn in 11th house, 10th house, 7th house, 1st house, 5th house, 6th house 3rd house, making aspects with personal planets like sun moon venus or with ascendant or mc, saturn in libra, aquarius, capricorn, cancer, gemini, scorpio, saturn in degree of 7°, 19°, 11°, 23°, saturn retrograde.
[Saturn restricts and creates a lack in the area it occupies. It also tends to create a harsher environment which may mean that you may sometimes feel as jf the peoplw around you dont show much care or concern towards you in comparison to others. You may also constantly feel as if you have to work harder to win them over or to be recognised.]
🐼neptune in 4th house, 3rd house, 1st house, making aspects with ascendant, sun, mc, in the houses 6th house 10th house, 5th house, 11th house, in the signs of libra, aquarius, gemini, capricorn in degrees of 7°, 19°,23°,11° degree
[ neptune tends to create haze in whatever area it occupies which means that even though you may undertsand others on a deeper level, you may feel like others dont, or you may feel as if others tend to forget about you or dont feel recognised enough, on occasions people may not even notice you or know you enough. People may also project on you alot and if you dont live upto their expectations they may reject you or you may try very hard trying to mold yourself into whatever they want. You may also feel a bit hesitant to stand up for youself]
🐼 uranus in 6th house, 5th house, 11th house, 1st house, 10th house, making aspects to these houses, in the signs of aqua, cap, libra, sag, scorp, in the degrees of 7°,11°,23°,19°,aspects with mc or personal planets.
[ uranus is by nature erratic and tends to create a bit of instability in whatever house it occupies. You may have friends one day and the next day they are gone. Like?? Poof.]
🐼 mars in 1st, 7th, 11th, 10th, 3rd, 6th house, making aspects with these houses, in the sign of aries, leo, scorp, cap, aqua, libra, in the degrees of 11°,19°,7°,23°
[Whatever house mars occupies or touches tends to creste a sense of hostility and competition, it may mean that people may be a bit hostile towards you or may view you as hostile or competitive or make you their competition, people with these placements may experience others putting you down in front of others or may experience that friends turned into enemies trope also jealousy is a common theme.]
🐼pluto in 6th house, 5th house, 11th house, 1st house, 10th house, making aspects to these houses, in the signs of aqua, cap, libra, sag, scorp, in the degrees of 7°,11°,23°,19°,aspects with mc or personal planets.
[Whatever house pluto touches or occupies creates an intense relation no matter what. You may feel as if people view you in a sexual manner, people may initially avoid you or stare at you as if theyre sensing you energetically, you may also experience people approaching you with manipulative sentiments or intentions, alsoo you may experience it that when you reject someone as friends or partner, the rejected party may start spreading rumours about you or become obsessed with trying to put you down or humble you and this may be a secret intention. People you dont know or notice know you and notice you. I have it in my 3rd house which also governs neighbourhod/neighbours and it squares my venus in 6th house and istg people idk know me and observe me but i keep my guards up. The people you befriend may also be jealous of you or become possessive over you and brooo.... its not a good thing so dont romanticise it like a pillowfucker♡]
🐼lilith in 6th house, 5th house, 11th house, 1st house, 10th house, making aspects to these houses, in the signs of aqua, cap, libra, sag, scorp, in the degrees of 7°,11°,23°,19°,aspects with mc or personal planets.
[Creates a similar theme to pluto but here you'll be shamed even more]
🐼 12th house personal placements
🐼sun and moon, mercury in 4th, 8th house.
🐼 4th, 12th, 8th hluse stellium
🐼mercury in aquarius or capricorn or pisces or scorpio
[May make you more private with your thoughts and you may feel as if others dont understand your ideas or you dont have anyone to talk too. It may also create trust issues.

Cold ass take but had Tsunade not spent 30 years grieving and instead spent it grinding she would clear the Naruto verse. 8 gates is a perfect compliment to her fighting style and had she mastered it she could use it without drawbacks. oh her leg broke, she’s near death having reached her limit? no problem she uses 100 healing jutsu and is ready for round 2. this is why i think sakura still has the most potential for growth and could easily pass Naruto and Sasuke. You give her 8 gates and she’s SWEEPING Madara

I would love to know the birthdays of the other tma characters (particularly Gerry, Micheal Shelley, and Tim)
TMA Birthdays Revealed (Continued)
You've got it.
Let's go in the order that you requested, starting with Gerry Keay.
(This is a continuation of my previous post, where I determine Jon and Martin's birthdays to the best of my ability. Make sure to check it out if you haven't yet!)
Spoiler alert: Gerard is one of the few characters for whom we have an objectively correct/confirmed answer. Just like last time, I'll list all of the results in the tags as a TLDR. Let's begin!
As I said, Gerry's birthday is shockingly the easiest to find out of everyone in the entire main series. However, none of our clues are actually found in Archives. Rather, it's the Magnus Protocol ARG that flat-out gives us this answer. Compared to last post, I feel like I'm being spoiled.
For those unaware, chdb.xlsx (Child_Database.Excel) is a 250-row list of participants in the Magnus Institute's Gifted Child programme. Of these, last names like Dyer, Nolan, Barker, Baldwin, etc. appear, although it's possible some are simply a coincidence.
One we know is not. Behold:
(Yes, his last name is spelled Kaey in this dataset. It's an easy typo to miss in a 250-row document. Don't worry about it.)
According to Chdb, Gerry's birthday is 4th February, 1988. For those paying attention to my original Birthday post, this is exactly two days after my calculation for Jon's birthday, down to the year. This pleases me.
I'll even throw in a bonus for you. Based on his data, he is quite empathetic - yet not very susceptible to peer pressure! You're welcome, Gerrianators.
Let's move to Michael Shelley.
Unfortunately, we're not as lucky this time. Michael's age is just as twisted up as what became of him. Here's what we know:
Michael worked with Eric Delano prior to Eric's resignation in 1990, but was also hired to replace Fiona Law during or after 2003.
Michael's death was sometime between 2009-2011, however was supposedly already distorted in 2006.
Jonny joked on Twitter that Michael "is 92 at all points in the timeline."
There is virtually nothing to go off of here... The month and day are an absolute mystery to us as well. So congrats! His birthday is 92.
Thankfully, Tim is a little bit easier on us.
We need to use Danny Stoker's death as a starting point here. We know that Danny died in 2013 at no younger than 21 years old. Beforehand, Tim spent the previous 5 years at Victory House Publishing. Before that, in 2007, he completed his First in Anthropology at Trinity College. As a Bachelors degree typically takes three years to complete, we can assume Tim was most likely 18 in 2004. The birth year is easy to calculate from there.
For month, all we can do is process of elimination. Let's start with when his birth month isn't. Since the tapes contain no mention of a birthday party like Jon and Martin had prior to MAG 40 (when shit hits the fan), we know that it is less likely to be between September to mid-March, although this is mainly a mix of speculation and educated guessing. We can at least confirm the September cutoff, though, by cross-referencing age requirements for schooling in the UK. Unfortunately, this is where our luck ends. All in all, I think we still did quite well here.
Our final result is April-August 1986. He died at 31 years old. Bonus: He is anywhere from 1-6 years older than his brother. This is not a surprise to absolutely anyone.
A recap of our final results:
Gerard Keay - 4th February, 1988
Michael Shelley - Permanently 92 years old
Timothy Stoker - April-August, 1986
Thanks again, everyone. I have a wonderful time making these, it's great fun! I have a few more posts in mind that I'd like to make, so feel free to leave an Ask. See you next time!

i know the whole "do you think jon ever used his powers to Know what his parents looked like" thing is far more devastating than this but what if he tried using his powers to remember original sasha? jon and sasha always seemed closer than the rest, he picked her (and tim) to work with him and tolerated a lot more nonsense from her than anyone else (using his password to access his computer [161], debating his pronunciation of calliope [25], etc)
and ofc jon and martin became significantly closer as the podcast went on, but in the beginning he was cruel to martin when he gave a statement but accepting of sasha? idk i think their friendship was a lot deeper than we realized (ESPECIALLY since his first murder in season 5 was because NotThem provoked him about sasha) and i think jon wouldve used his powers to Know the original sasha, not sure if it wouldve worked though
so so sorry to distract from the post but can yall read the tags for me because i suffered immensely for this post
#they make me ill#sasha was so cool i miss her every day#i think we need more sasha content#idk i wish we got more of them specifically#THIS POST. HAS CRASHED. 4. TIMES.#i am trying to write about the magnus archives and its like “hee hee tumbeast ate your post” give it the fuck back?#it saved to my drafts after the 4th tag but this is pissing me off#every time i try to tag it as “tma” it crashes so im not doing that#just pretend i did ok#16 more times total of 20 every time i try to write tags it crashes#it wont let me write the archivists name im genuinely so serious#please help me please help me#im gonna sit here for a second and let it save as draft#6 more times#ur joking#total of 26 crashes over this one post#hate to distract from my incredibly brilliant insight but this is unusable#i think its okay again actually?#gonna try tagging with real tags wish me luck#jonathan sims#jon sims#sasha james#tma#the magnus archives#the archivist#notthem#notsasha#tma theory#tma spoilers#holy shit it worked

So like. Mumbo’s definitely gonna gradually get older over his videos until he becomes one of Mined Laboratory’s human subjects for immortality, right? Right.
#hermitcraft#mumbo jumbo#on that note: my more insane theory is that the process is gonna also cause his invention counter to become a 4th iteration of Grumbot#which he’ll ask for help about the rising haunted water levels#and insaner theory: all of this somehow leads into another crossover event#hermitcraft season 10

Pili: It seems like you have a lot of experience with this badboyhalo
Bad: I have some experience popping out of certain spaces like that...
Bad and Pili are talking about how the Keepers of the Realm don't really teleport, but just pop in and out of space and time. Like they're occupying another dimension and are sort of hopping through time too.
Interesting Mr. Bad "I'm-just-a-little-angel" BoyHalo... Interesting...

Time, Comics and Chaos Energy.
Hi again people! I came with a new theory of what can happen in the fourth movie! That will probably be just another delirium of my mind but well, if Tumblr was not made for theories and madness for what was done then \ (ツ) /?
As is commonly known, Sonic films uses a lot from games to base their stories. However, I think from now on, Jeff and the writers will also be based on comics such as Archie, Fleetway and IDW.
Why do I think this?
Metal Sonic and Metal Army.

This Army does not appear in the games, but the idea of Metal Sonic supported by old versions has already been addressed at Archie - in which case different editions of the same metal - and more similar (and the possible source of inspiration) the Fleetway Brotherhood of Metallix. An event that metal gains too much self -awareness and usurbs Eggman's place.
This fact is not only excellent to use in the movie, but works with other media like Sonic CD and the OVA.
And this opens doors to other amazing uses like:
Amy Rose
First, I think her cover came from the first sketches of Amy of Fleetway.

( Iconic 🤩🤩🤩)
Amy already has a very strong connection with time travel and Little Planet. However, the comics work more with this, with some for example putting her with her using Time Stones to venture into her version of Archie. As I said before, I theorizer that Amy will be a Little Planet native who has a connection with the Stones teams and this can generate a very good, very good movie story in the fourth movie. Maybe as a guardian of the Stones.
Silver
Silver has a very interesting point in Archie's comics and I think that as he will have a lot of relevance in the future probably, it would be nice to see. There, he presents a technique with a Time Stone named Chronos Control. A technique that is taught and allows you to travel in time without the aide effects, and would be a perfect explanation of how it does it. Since games and other media are not exactly a consensus on this.
Amy AND Silver
And to finish I think these two will be relevant in the long run. Why?
Because I think the movies go gives temporal properties to Chaos Energy. Yes, that supernova was not a simple explosion and no, it wasn't known until then. At least for most characters.
I believe that Little Planet residents know this property, thanks to the Time Stones and explore it frequently. I also think Amy is among the most powerful user.
This deleted scene shows that the time control of chaos energy was an idea in the production of the film, along some concept art showing that Sonic 3 also would have some time travel in it.
youtube
Therefore, I think the time distorted sending Ivo to the past and more specifically for Little Planet. There he dominates everything, builds metal to kill Sonic and seize the stones … je just didn't have antecipated Amy and her connection with the jewelry.
My personal theory is that she was sent to Earth for knowing where to find and use the stones, being proficient with what she would now as Chronos Control. This technique would teach Sonic and others and in the future would be what Silver would use to travel.
And no, Amy is not from future. She would be in the present, wokin in the present day to reverse the mess Ivo created going to pass and a bad future.
Basically that's it.
In short: Chaos energy has temporal properties that are known only by people from Little Planet, in which Amy Rose has more knowledge and is connected to the stones of time. Ivo comes back to the past, messes up the timeline wanting the stones and killing Sonic. However, Amy is an impecilho, being sent to the earth and growing here, fighting with the metal Army which summoned the post credits scene. And in the future, the technique she uses is enjoyed by Silver to travel in time.
And yes, metal has his arc OVA style, believing to be the true Sonic, as well as usurping robotinik of his reign.
Thank you for reading!
Tagging @iwasbored777 !

How Naruto and Sasuke reacted after Hagoromo told them his backstory:
Hagoromo: —and though separated by circumstance of birth, you both are still my precious sons. I wish I had more time speak but it seems fate shall not allow it, goodbye my children
Naruto: Hear that Sasuke? Sage gramps said we’re brothers, I knew we were connected by more than just friendship BELIEVE IT!
Sasuke (Homosexually): B-Brothers? That means… No this can’t be.

When the Doctor wakes up from being unconscious in The Android Invasion, he immediately launches into what I can only assume is a Gallifreyan bedtime story, then he turns to Sarah Jane and asks her (it’s been a while since I’ve watched this episode so this might be paraphrasing):
“Are you listening, Tilly?”
Of course this was very funny, but I thought about this a bit more and now I have a theory that, for a brief moment, the Doctor - forgetting where he was - hallucinated about his old life back on Gallifrey, where he could tell stories to his children. Therefore, perhaps, Sarah Jane slightly resembles one of the Doctor’s children from way back when, and her name was Tilly.

HI OH MY GOD SINCE RHERES A NEW CHAPLTER SOON WHAT ARR YOUR THEOURIES HIDIHRHEHDHHEH
HII AAA I KNOW I KNOW MDSJCDKGSHDG I'M SO EXCITED ALSO FUCKKKKKK IDK WHERE I'M GOING TO GET A TRANSLATION
This chapter. Better be so full of Sskk. That i spontaneously combust.
PLEASE ASAGIRI AAGFHDSZCBCHFJ I freaking n e e d to know what happens next with Akutagawa. More character introspection for Akutagawa letting us learn more? Does Amenogozen "kill" him and he reunites with Atsushi in the fourth dimension somehow? Does Fyodor see Akutagawa's desperate state and try to manipulate him, knowing Akutagawa means so much to Atsushi? Does he finish his sentence of "and then..."?
IM GOING INSANE
AND ATSUSHI'S CURRENT SIDE OF THE STORY FFSJKLGHFKGUJ. UEDA?? HELLO??? I NEED A BACKSTORY, ASAGIRI
I definitely hope to see more of Atsushi in 124 but also I have a feeling his character is going to be even more mentally and emotionally tortured by the plot. Seeing the effect of the Headmaster, who he hates yet can't let go of, leaving him is
...painful
And Atsushi hardly has time to process all of this, because now he has to deal with whoever Ueda is (and maybe Ueda wants to kill him because maybe he's evil idfk 😭)
I'm fucking DYING for more of Atsushi Thinking About His Feelings For Akutagawa™. Please I need more of it. I want to know everything Atsushi thinks about him aaaaajfdjfjfszakitjfhdhd
(if 124 doesn't focus on either of sskk I'm going to cry because ASAGIRI YOU ARE LEAVING US ON DIABOLICAL CLIFF HANGERS. But maybe it'll focus on Skk, or maybe even get a peek inside Sigma's mind? Or maybe someone else, like Tecchou even. IDK ASAGIRI'S WRITING IS A LOOSE CANON AA)
#btw for everyone reading this I'm 90% 124 drops on June 4th#At least that's what twitter said I think#also I'll be checking kyouka supremacy's blog for a translation probably??#idk 😭 fuck DMCAs ugh#pls I'm so bad with theories y'all I just want them to kiss#sskk#bsd#shin soukoku#bungou stray dogs#bungoustraydogs#bsd atsushi#bungougaydogs#atsushi#akuatsu#bungou gay dogs#bsd akutagawa#akutagawa#bsd predictions#sorta???#bsd dazai#skk#bsd chuuya#bsd sigma#bsd tecchou#bsd ueda#asks answered#asks open

If it's alright, I'm just curious, do you have any thoughts of your own or theories about Oscar or Ruby or both of them in terms of v10? To add, do you have any theories for the merge and how it will end up for both Oscar and Ozpin? Like will it be a good or bad thing? Sorry if these questions seem vague lol
Of course it's alright to ask! I do have many thoughts and a handful of theories. I'll admit most of them are wishful thinking since there's truly no way to tell where the story will go until it actually happens. But if I were to distill it to the ones I'm most expecting and why, then I'd probably say:
Expansion on Ruby's solo arc that kicked off in V9
Acknowledging the setups (plural) between Ruby and Oscar's arcs
The merge-curse is eventually broken (blame the allusions)
I'll elaborate a bit below.
1. Expanding on Ruby's Arc
What we saw Ruby go through in V9 is very much not the end of that particular plot line, imo. We saw a bit of this in Justice League: Part 2 and the final ep of RWBY Beyond where she talks to Clark and Yang about her struggles a bit. Ruby needs to learn how to both ask for and accept help from those around her so the weight of everything she's carrying doesn't crush her. Especially now when they're down to the wire and she's come back as a resurrected martyr who's face has been used at the centre of the resistance movement she's now helping to lead. How will she live up to the expectations and pressures of that impossible pedestal when she's only a human girl with very normal knees who's barely keeping it together? Also, while I don't know exactly how they're going to address everything she experienced, and I struggle to imagine her speaking about Neo's Horror House to anyone directly... that sort of trauma doesn't just go away once it's over. So I would be very surprised if the effects of it didn't ripple throughout the remaining chapters of the show. Especially when every other member of RWBY has seemingly had the bulk of their main character arcs already. It's long overdue for Ruby to get that time in the spotlight. Which does sort of lead into my next point...
2. Acknowledging the Setups in Ruby and Oscar's Dynamic
For starters, we've got the merge and ascension parallels to address. Ruby and Oscar have always mirrored each other's issues around identity, choice, fear, responsibility, leadership, etc., and this buildup seems to be coming to a head following V9. From Oscar's "I'm just going to be another one of his lives, aren't I?" to Ruby's "What if you could be anyone?", and how the two of them will relate to each other in light of those contrasting - but similar - experiences. Especially with Ruby having just come back from the tree to find Oscar fighting against the merge harder than ever before. But we also have their attachments to each other to sort out as well. Ruby and Oscar have been watching each other's backs in different ways since V5, their reunion hug in V8 was interrupted where no other "pairing's" was, and they were the only "pairing" still to be split up between the Ever After and Remnant. Not to mention that, while they were separated, Ruby was pushed to a breaking point after being shown an illusion of losing Oscar, while Oscar was back in the real world eulogizing about how he lost Ruby. CRWBY doesn't setup relationship parallels and focuses as intensely and intentionally as this without pay off at some point.
Again, while the specifics are nearly impossible to predict, I'm expecting a bit of a Dojo Scene Reprise, heart-to-heart of sorts, and/or, something that puts those attachments to the test. My immediate thought is that this test will finally push Oscar to unlocking his semblance since getting shot, falling from Atlas, being kidnapped, and tortured were all not enough to make it happen. (Although my wishful thinking is that it unlocks in a happier moment, I think that's much less likely.)
If I were to engage in pure speculation on this, my easiest bet is that it will come at the hands of Tyrian. When our Little Prince was first introduced, it was almost as if he was waking from a nightmare of that villain laughing with glee at the opportunity to hunt down a certain rose. And with this being the Vacuo arc with Ruby and Oscar getting a lot of focus, and Tyrian already on the prowl within the kingdom, it would make a lot of sense. The little prince fated to have a confrontation with a venomous antagonist in the desert over his attachment to a rose is about as textbook as it gets. (I could also see it go to Cinder or being delayed until they follow through on the threat of Ruby being kidnapped by Salem, if that's the route they decide to take. But again we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.)
3. Oscar and the Merge
I'm not entirely sure where they're headed with this one between now and the resolution... but I do think the resolution itself will otherwise be a happy one, if not bittersweet. RWBY is a story about breaking cycles, and Oz has been part of one of the longest on Remnant since the very beginning. Pairing that with this show being, ultimately, a happy story, as well as a looking at two of Oscar and Oz's shared allusions, I can only imagine they will be separated by the end.
The first allusions to mention are from The Marvelous Land of Oz. Princess Ozma (aka Oscar) is the rightful heir to the kingdom and next in line to take over when it's time for the wizard to retire. It's very clear that - however this plays out - Oscar is the final incarnation. Typically, when one ruler leaves the throne that's it. They're gone. Oz has fiddled with Remnant's history for countless millennia now in his endless fight against Salem. When the dust settles and it's time for Remnant to rebuild, it should be up to the new generation to take charge without his influence from "the old world" in the mix.
From a Little Prince lens - for those unfamiliar with the book - the aviator (aka Oz) spends much of the story waffling about the little prince he is stranded with in the desert... only to be very sad when his new friend leaves him behind to go home to the stars. RWBY is already subverting this story a bit with Oscar being the one wanting to be rid of his pilot instead of the other way around. If I were to guess how the show will carry this further, it would be that Oz moves on, but perhaps with some lingering attachment on either (or both) sides. Maybe a bit of a "all this time I wanted it to end, but now that it's finally happening, I wish I (you) didn't have to go".
At least that's what seems to make sense to me, thematically speaking. Oscar will be irreversibly changed by these events even if he is freed from the curse, however. There is no question about it. Because that is what the Hero's Journey is all about.
The hero leaves their farm and they fall through a new world. It is both horrifying and exciting in equal measure. And throughout it all they are changed by the experiences they have and the people they meet - both good and bad, within their control and outside of it. And when the quest is finally over, there is grief. Because you are not the same person you were when you left home, and you can never truly return to what you had and who you were before it all happened.
This is also, coincidentally, just what it means to grow up. Which - while not the only one, and certainly not unique to Oscar's arc alone - has always been one of the loudest allegories hiding within the merge to me. We meet and know people, we don't always have a say in how long they can stay and how they change us... and then one day they are gone, but their influence and our memories of them stay with us. And then, as RWBY has taught us since the very beginning, we keep moving forward despite it all.

( @creatoriamari tagging you here just in case to make sure you get the notif because I don't know if it still works if I saved the ask as a draft. 🙇♀️)
