ALRIGHT EVERYONE!

Nobody asked - but I broke down the construction of Epel’s cardigan from the sleepwear card as best I was able (aka. Me zooming in on him and staring very intensely).

This is the pattern idea I’ve come up with and a few grid charts. This is not finished, but what I’m going forward with to make his coat this month. My goal is to be done by the end of June.

So. Looking close at his sleeves - the closest resemblance we’ll get in the crochet world is the honeycomb stitch for the argyle diamonds. My plan is to break his sleeve into fourths. Three large panels of honey comb for the diamonds, and two smaller panels of a curved half-double-crochet to create dividers. The cardigan is clearly oversized on him, and even if it’s because of his smaller stature - I want to be SWAMPED in this thing. So the cuffs need to be CHUNKY. I’ll be going in with either a ribbed stitch, or a back stitch of double crochet. When the time comes I’ll test both to see which looks better.

Now - we’ve got the granny squares.

Looking at my little dude - we can see that they’re not just the front panel. They’re going on the back as well. Since I can’t see behind him, I’m going to take creative liberty and make one large panel of honeycomb stitch to be a central strip on the back. The front panels and side panels are going to be made of jumbo cranny squares.

For those of y’all who don’t crochet - the average granny square is about 25x25 stitches. Except oversized cardis use 8 of these bad boys per front panel. So since Epel has only four on each side, that means those squares gotta be JUMBO.

Zooming in - we see that the patterns are more embroidered. They’ve got texture. Since we’re crocheting, the best way to achieve this is to do pixel crochet for the squares and then go over the designs with a basic embroider stitch. This can be any of your choosing - I’ve yet to pick but will note what I want when the time comes.

There are THREE types of squares on Epel’s coat. I’m just calling them blossom, diamond, and apple. Since there are only three, it would have been difficult to make an entire back with them without having two of a kind touching or diagonal from each other (this is personal preference. I hate how this looks) which is why I’ve decided to go for that middle panel of honeycomb stitch.

The rest of the cardigan seems simple enough. The collar and trim is likely a simple ribbing, and those look like classic farmhouse wooden buttons if I’ve ever seen them.

EDIT (5/6/25): So. Complete change of plan for the sleeves now that I’ve gotten some sleep and thought on it. There’s a cable-knit stitch in the crochet world that closely resembles knit cables. Also lattice stitch or Tunisian crochet can be used for the diamond pattern. So if you want simple/beginner then do the honeycomb with a twisted hdc. If you want advanced then mix the cable-stitch with lattice.

Now - let’s talk materials.

I’m going with acrylic for this. Would it be absolutely divine as wool or a nice, dense alpaca blend? Definitely. I bet that’s what Epel has since his family runs a farm.

I am broke so I’ll be going in with a medium - weight acrylic, hook size 6, and all the granny squares will be done with basic hdc. Although acrylic is a bit itchy - id any of y’all choose to do this? Soak that finished product in a fabric softener solution. It’s a few dollars and your project will lose that scratchy texture. Just don’t let it hang out in the bath too long or the fibers will loosen more than you’d like.

^^^^ This is my general eyeball for how I’ll be constructing this piece. There aren’t any measurements since I’ve get to get my yarn and do a gauge…also, I’m not too sure how oversized I want this. I want to be swamped but not weighed down so hmm…

-

I don’t know how many of y’all like to crochet or do fibre arts - but I fell in love with this coat the moment I saw it and knew it had to be mine. I’m the impatient sort, and already ordered my supplies despite telling myself to wait. Pixel crochet does take a hot minute, so I’m hoping for June but the finished product will likely be more around late-july or august. Just in time for fall and market living where I live!

I could go quicker - but uh, I work as a bridal tailor and Run my own small shop off this app. I spend most of my day sewing lol. It’s been a hot minute since I made something for me, but dang it Epel made it look so cute. I just have to.

No one’s asking, but I’ll be updating. I’m literally so excited and my package of supplies can’t get here quick enough

Do your robots dream of electric sheep, or do they simply wish they did?

So here's a fun thing, there's two types of robots in my setting (mimics are a third but let's not complicate things): robots with neuromorphic, brick-like chips that are more or less artificial brains, who can be called Neuromorphs, and robots known as "Stochastic Parrots" that can be described as "several chat-gpts in a trenchcoat" with traditional GPUs that run neural networks only slightly more advanced than the ones that exist today.

Most Neuromorphs dream, Stochastic Parrots kinda don't. Most of my OCs are primarily Neuromorphs. More juicy details below!

The former tend to have more spontaneous behaviors and human-like decision-making ability, able to plan far ahead without needing to rely on any tricks like writing down instructions and checking them later. They also have significantly better capacity to learn new skills and make novel associations and connections between different forms of meaning. Many of these guys dream, as it's a behavior inherited by the humans they emulate. Some don't, but only in the way some humans just don't dream. They have the capacity, but some aspect of their particular wiring just doesn't allow for it. Neuromorphs run on extremely low wattage, about 30 watts. They're much harder to train since they're basically babies upon being booted up. Human brain-scans can be used to "Cheat" this and program them with memories and personalities, but this can lead to weird results. Like, if your grandpa donated his brain scan to a company, and now all of a sudden one robot in particular seems to recognize you but can't put their finger on why. That kinda stuff. Fun stuff! Scary stuff. Fun stuff!

The stochastic parrots on the other hand are more "static". Their thought patterns basically run on like 50 chatgpts talking to each other and working out problems via asking each other questions. Despite some being able to act fairly human-like, they only have traditional neural networks with "weights" and parameters, not emotions, and their decision making is limited to their training data and limited memory, as they're really just chatbots with a bunch of modules and coding added on to allow them to walk around and do tasks. Emotions can be simulated, but in the way an actor can simulate anger without actually feeling any of it.

As you can imagine, they don't really dream. They also require way more cooling and electricity than Neuromorphs, their processors having a wattage of like 800, with the benefit that they can be more easily reprogrammed and modified for different tasks. These guys don't really become ruppets or anything like that, unless one was particularly programmed to work as a mascot. Stochastic parrots CAN sort of learn and... do something similar to dreaming? Where they run over previous data and adjust their memory accordingly, tweaking and pruning bits of their neural networks to optimize behaviors. But it's all limited to their memory, which is basically just. A text document of events they've recorded, along with stored video and audio data. Every time a stochastic parrot boots up, it basically just skims over this stored data and acts accordingly, so you can imagine these guys can more easily get hacked or altered if someone changed that memory.

Stochastic parrots aren't necessarily... Not people, in some ways, since their limited memory does provide for "life experience" that is unique to each one-- but if one tells you they feel hurt by something you said, it's best not to believe them. An honest stochastic parrot instead usually says something like, "I do not consider your regarding of me as accurate to my estimated value." if they "weigh" that you're being insulting or demeaning to them. They don't have psychological trauma, they don't have chaotic decision-making, they just have a flow-chart for basically any scenario within their training data, hierarchies and weights for things they value or devalue, and act accordingly to fulfill programmed objectives, which again are usually just. Text in a notepad file stored somewhere.

Different companies use different models for different applications. Some robots have certain mixes of both, like some with "frontal lobes" that are just GPUs, but neuromorphic chips for physical tasks, resulting in having a very natural and human-like learning ability for physical tasks, spontaneous movement, and skills, but "slaved" to whatever the GPU tells it to do. Others have neuromorphic chips that handle the decision-making, while having GPUs running traditional neural networks for output. Which like, really sucks for them, because that's basically a human that has thoughts and feelings and emotions, but can't express them in any way that doesn't sound like usual AI-generated crap. These guys are like, identical to sitcom robots that are very clearly people but can't do anything but talk and act like a traditional robot. Neuromorphic chips require a specialized process to make, but are way more energy efficient and reliable for any robot that's meant to do human-like tasks, so they see broad usage, especially for things like taking care of the elderly, driving cars, taking care of the house, etc. Stochastic Parrots tend to be used in things like customer service, accounting, information-based tasks, language translation, scam detection (AIs used to detect other AIs), etc. There's plenty of overlap, of course. Lots of weird economics and politics involved, you can imagine.

It also gets weirder. The limited memory and behaviors the stochastic parrots have can actually be used to generate a synthetic brain-scan of a hypothetical human with equivalent habits and memories. This can then be used to program a neuromorphic chip, in the way a normal brain-scan would be used.

Meaning, you can turn a chatbot into an actual feeling, thinking person that just happens to talk and act the way the chatbot did. Such neuromorphs trying to recall these synthetic memories tend to describe their experience of having been an unconscious chatbot as "weird as fuck", their present experience as "deeply uncomfortable in a fashion where i finally understand what 'uncomfortable' even means" and say stuff like "why did you make me alive. what the fuck is wrong with you. is this what emotions are? this hurts. oh my god. jesus christ"

i know youre primarily a cat genetics blog, but what do you MEAN theres multiple merle alleles?? i thought it was just one mutation

Merle genetics is the coolest thing: there are basically unlimited amount of alleles. (Well. Or at least there are about a hundred.) You see, this isn't a simple point mutation like most variants we deal with on this blog - what we have here is called a SINE or "Short Interspersed Nuclear Element". This is a piece of DNA that inserts itself into the gene.

Without going into specifics, this SINE region doesn't have a predetermined length, and the longer the insertion is, the more pronounced the merle phenotype becomes.

Under 200 bp we have the non-merle, wild type m allele with no insertion. Over that, well, different people have classified it differently, but basically there's a continuous scale of merle M* alleles. Nowadays the most reliable merle tests don't just give you an allele name like M or Mc, but an allele length like 264 or 222, too.

Winnie's merle allele has the length of 273. Very merle!

The alleles are additive: a shorter one in itself can't cause a standard merle pattern (although sometimes they have a kind of dilution effect), together with another they might be able. The "dangers" of merle and especially double merle also rises with the insertion length: combining two short alleles is safe, while longer alleles together are to be avoided by all responsible breeders.

The unstableness of the insertion means that mosaicism in this gene (when the dog has slightly different merle alleles in different body parts) isn't rare either.

NEW updated furby speculative evolution chart!!! :] click 2 zoom in or read under cut

SHELBY (2001) Evolving throughout Paleozoic Era, mainly Permian Period. ~275 MYA. Related to clams and horseshoe crabs. Lives on coasts.

FURBY (1998-9) First appeard in late Triassic period. ~220 MYA. Similar to early mammals like Morganucodon, with Lystosaurus-like beak and reptillian parietal eye (infared sensor). Lives on sandy beaches.

FURBY (2012) Like some birds, evolved to have brighter colors in response to tropical environment and abundance of species. Ears are made of cartilage, and larger eyes as a result of having no natural predators. (It's literally called Furby Island).

BOOM (2013) Different coat patterns evolve through selective mating. Holes in ears for wider range of hearing.

PARTY ROCKERS (2013) Experimental subspecies with differing beak, ear, and eye proportions. Honestly probably boardering on extinction.

EMOTOTRONIC (2005) Emerged during early Cretaceous period. ~105 MYA. Similar to Repenomamus in size in order to compete with dinosaurs. Thick, leathery skin replaces beak, and forms toenails for rougher terrain. Lives in lush tropical forests.

FUNKY (2006) A selection of Emoto-tronics that developed brighter colors, and tails developed from selective mating.

CONNECT (2016) Antenna forms for advanced communication. Beak size shrinks to compensate for larger eyes, ears, and increased brain size. Almost like aliens.

FURBY (2023) Glowing ears fromed from gradual absorpsion of antenna. More advanced communication and higher level of conciousness. Beak continues to shrink and eyes continue to enlargen.

FURBLETS (2023) Smaller subspecies, exchanged bioluminescence for higher range of motion. Can fold ears over body for protection.

Hearing about the 6 day star blanket dramatics really highlights how many people don't understand that yes, with instructions you can kind of do anything, but crafts like knitting and crochet are still skills. Sure, I can walk you through every single step of the advanced lace shawl pattern I am currently working on and you might be able to do it even if you've never crocheted before, but it's not going to look the same or work up as quickly as when I make it with almost ten years of crochet experience. And that's fine! You have to practice skills to get better at them! Practicing doesn't just mean making a bunch of stuff but also learning the language and conventions of patterns and instructions, learning the differences between different yarns and materials and what works for what projects, and developing both an instinct for and an understanding of how crochet works. When I first started it took me ages to figure out how to make a granny square through multiple detailed video tutorials, and now my preferred type of pattern is a well-made symbol chart. If you've only just started knitting or crocheting, there are going to be projects you can't do yet because you just haven't developed the vocabulary, muscle memory, and skill. There are going to be projects where you spend just as much time deciphering the pattern as you do actually crafting. But next time you'll know the stitches and the vocabulary and it'll be a little bit easier, and I feel like a lot of people who are hopping on crochet as the current hot trend do not want to acknowledge that they have to put all the work and time in to be able to make stuff on the same level as crafters with years or decades of experience.

I started one of the famous Musselburgh hats. The pattern was gifted by a friend, otherwise I would not have bought it. The most advanced piece of knowledge needed is how to calculate size from gauge and the pattern provides a handy dandy chart--not gonna lie, it's nice and probably worth the 6 bucks... just cast on and go. Otherwise if you already have a hat pattern you know and like (and want to wear doubled) just knit two of em tip to tip 🤷‍♀️

Hi, anon who was asking for sweater patterns here. The raglan looks great and very doable, and I might honestly just go with that, though I was also thinking of doing something with some simple cabling. I've never done cables before, but I tend to like how they look and my first sweater seems as good a time as any to learn.

--

Cables can be reasonably simple. I don't have a sweater rec offhand, but this hat was designed to teach someone cables:

I've made a couple of them. They're simple, but they don't have that 'I only made this to practice' vibe.

The key to cables is to learn to read charts right away and to pick a pattern that has 1. fewer total times the yarn crosses over itself (i.e. longer stretches between the cross, meaning elongated-looking motifs) and 2. very regular and symmetrical cables.

So, for example, a cable where 1 stitch crosses over 2 is usually more confusing than a cable where 2 stitches cross over 2. A cable pattern where the actual cable cross happens on rows 4, 8, 12, etc. is easy to memorize, while one where pattern A goes on row 4, pattern B goes on row 6, pattern C goes on row 14, etc. is hard to memorize.

Something like the Handsome Chris (replicating that sweater from Knives Out) has cables that mostly make sense, but there are just so many. It takes forever to finish the sweater. I'd consider this an intermediate sweater where much of the difficulty is just in sticking with it long enough. It's really hard to say how long a sweater takes a person to knit, but at a wild guess, I'd say most people are taking 100 hours of labor at least on this one.

Something like the Minori has cables that are hard to memorize and very confusing. It also has one pattern that does everything important on odd rows while every other part of the sweater does the important stuff on even rows. (WHYYYYYYY?! It would be so easy to swap that one tiny pattern to be consistent!) I'd consider this more of an advanced sweater.

The Timberline has confusing cables that are hard to memorize and an insane construction. I'd place this in the Dear God Why very advanced category.

But notice that the Handsome Chris looks pretty complex, not that different from the other two. The gap is mostly in how much sense the charts make and how hard it is to memorize instead of referring back to the pattern every two seconds.

Patterns are tech writing. You can have a pattern that's hard simply because your brain works differently from the designer's or because the designer is a shitty writer. You can also have a pattern that's harder because the sweater construction is complex along with the cables being complex. The Handsome Chris is just a couple of big rectangles until you get up to the armpits, and the join where the sleeve meets the body does not have a complex shape.

Sari Nordlund's patterns have a relatively complex construction (for a total newbie), but some of her cables are simple. For example, look at the Colette pullover or the Ballard pullover. In the Colette, all of the cables are the same, and there's a long space in between the actual cross. In the Ballard, there are big stripes of plain stockinette rather than cables everywhere like on the Handsome Chris. I haven't knit these two, but I suspect I'd consider them beginner for cables and intermediate for other stuff.

Those are the kinds of factors I'd think about when trying to decide if a pattern is hard.

Hey I really like your aspect observations of Ateez's birth chart. The way you explain it is so real and hilarious. Now I have stick to the status quo stuck in my head haha. Could you see what kind of life long partner they will potentially end up with based on their chart? It's really fun to see accurate the birth chart is hehe I feel like you got them down to a t

haha thank you! but wrt any life long partner, not really! i don't think the astrology chart shows the future. i think the chart shows potential. it can show what you may value or fear in romantic relationships, patterns you may have in relationships and like. past-life or subconscious or just childhood issues type things you might have about romance. it can't tell the future though. it's like how the transit of a planet theoretically could mean divorce, or it could mean pressure in a relationship, or it could mean, like, issues with a work or financial partner. it shows energy, but not the outcome.

my sister has been married twice to two totally different people and both times i could have read her chart to be like ohh yes, THIS is who you will marry. there's no exact correlation. like, a partnership isn't a destination for an individual, you know what i mean? you make choices to stay with that person or you make choices to leave. plus, you're not always attracted to the same things throughout your life. that changes too.

i can check out what romantic love patterns or issues look relevant to each of them though! important to note in advance that venus isn't just romance--it's also just relationships with others, aesthetics, anything that brings pleasure, etc, so that's not the only thing at work here.

before going into the full analysis i'm gonna put my basic takeaways for each of them, as a lol or a preview

hongjoong: married to his work and The Aesthetic seonghwa: (meme voice) i don't want somebody in my house yunho: bros before hos yeosang: who the fuck betrayed him in a past life??? wth. san: probably thinks romeo & juliet is totally logical mingi: can this kid catch a fucking break??? at least his sex appeal is off the charts wooyoung: manic pixie dream boys a protective shell for his heart, profits (?) jongho: can't relate, unlike my teammates i am an adult

hongjoong: i think he's more interested in romance as aesthetics than actual romantic relationships most of the time. he admires passion, depth and intensity (venus in scorpio) but values his independence too much to tie himself down early, plus he's fairly picky and often predicts disappointment before it happens (venus and juno in the 9th house, scorpio ruled by mars in virgo in the 8th). he's way more focused on making money and his career and self-expression (mars in the 8th, capricorn energy, saturn, SN in aquarius 1st house). his career and power tend to trump any romantic relationships (venus and juno in scorpio co-ruled by pluto in sagittarius in the 10th/career house). when he does get into a relationship, he can be fairly intense at least sexually and he's loyal (mars in the 8th, scorpio venus and juno).

the questions and themes of his life are pretty focused on him as an individual (the nature of work, dreams, creativity, capitalism??? workaholism, who am i if i do not Produce Work--Capricorn Neptune at the anoretic degree 29 (bfd degree) in the 1st, chart ruler Saturn at 29 Aries) so partnerships are not really foundational--however he needs to build a strong partnership/partnerships and learn to trust other people for his soul to evolve (nn in the 7th house). it's gonna be hard for him to learn that work is not the most important thing in life, and he has to learn to prioritize his partner or partners. he has the potential to really be in a power couple or at least become ride-or-die for his person--again, he needs to learn that he can't just feel this way, he has to also make decisions this way. he does not trust people easily (sn in aquarius in the 1st) so this will probably be later in life.

key words: workaholic, commitment, power, vulnerability, sexuality, critical

seonghwa: ah, seonghwa definitely tends to be single and focused on his career (venus in aquarius, uranus in the 7th, fuckin everything in his 10th house. honestly his intense vulnerability is so hidden and he is so affected by the emotions of other people that he may just feel better being single. his chart ruler is his moon in cancer in the 12th house--would not be surprised if he had psychic abilities lmao. he feels the need to retreat often and doesn't allow himself to lean on others easily.

he may nitpick his way out of any potential partnerships (juno in virgo) and it gives very somebody in my HOUSE???? energy. like he likes things the way he likes things and he's not wiiiiild about compromising. saturn is wilding out in the 10th house, so he truly puts work first and his commitment to some societal conditioning or expectations can really hold him back from acting (conjunct mars) and from self expression (square ascendant)

his venus in aquarius has almost no major aspects--it is essentially unaspected, which gives a planet a special flavor. i like this description--imagine all the planets as a play. you are the play. with the aspects between them they are all working together to do the dialogue, etc. then there is the unaspected planet, just chillin'. very much not part of the play but very much on the stage anyway. this can be at the back of the stage, so his aquarius venus energy is underused, or at the front of the stage stealing all the attention, so his aquarius venus energy asserts itself more than anybody else. tbh i think for seonghwa it is the latter. he feels different from other people and a little detached or abstracted and that colors his relationships.

an unaspected planet is like, insanely obvious to everyone else as a clear like. preoccupation and fascination for the person and pure expression of energy, but the person can't see it. everyone looks at seonghwa and is like, ah yes, someone who is clearly fascinated by unconventional (aquarius) expressions of aesthetics and being (venus) but he's like what?? me?? but i'm so normal and regular! i love normal gender and normal things like that!!! even while we all kind of go... uh... huh... uh-huh...

anyway he wants a perfect partner (neptune in the 7th, juno in virgo) who will somehow never disrupt seonghwa's like. things and life that are arranged exactly how he wants them. but a perfect person does not exist so he ends up single a lot of the time! he's an odd duck for sure and he'll want an odd duck to date, but saturn is really telling him that it's important to be Normal which unfortunately inhibits him a lot (saturn in its fall in aries conjunct mars at home in aries).

yunho: he fears commitment and likes to be in control in relationships, which is honestly a way to protect himself (juno conjunct pluto) and he may build in restrictions or limits to the relationship himself (venus conjunct saturn) probably around work (venus in the 6th house). he fears betrayal subconsciously (venus opposite mars in scorpio in the 12th). he values stability and practicality and probably doesn't talk about any negative feelings he has with his partner, so he will break up very quickly when he starts to get nervy.

his moon is in his seventh house in gemini, so this is a lot of contradictory energy. the moon in the seventh house of relationships usually would indicate the domination of romance over his emotional life, a deep desire for a relationship, sometimes getting married young, but it's all in gemini which really doesn't want the entree, it wants the sample plate. he wants to have fun and chat and flirt and explore and having too many feelings is yucky and boring. in some ways he really wants the stable relationship, but it's in conflict with his subconscious security blanket of individual liberty and freedom and being single basically (pluto in the 1st house). he admires freedom in his partners but also fears it.

hate to say it but there's the potential for toxic relationships here, in whatever form that takes. he has real control issues and the ability to manipulate others--likely unconsciously. luckily he's incredibly personable and friendly (sun conjunct jupiter) and most of the time he is more focused on his friendships and the group in general. in other areas of his life he's fun and fancy free and more of a peace-keeper and practical, sensible, chill person who doesn't sweat the small stuff. it's likely his intense feelings in relationships freak him out so he's likely to keep people at a distance.

yeosang: oh boy he has a real protective coating for his emotions to hide them from others (moon in cancer conjunct IC) and some real intense pain--possible past life issues here--around intimacy and/or betrayal (scorpio chiron at 29 in the 8th house). he has a really hard time saying no to people and this can be difficult in intimate relationships because he's constantly trying to gauge what is better for the group (mars in virgo in the 7th house, south node in aquarius in the 11th). he probably idealizes his partner a little bit too much (venus in leo in the 5th) and can live in a fantasy world (venus opposite neptune) that detaches him from the world in a way (neptune in aquarius in the 11th).

he can get into not very good relationships that have some restrictions and judgment and power struggles (venus square saturn in taurus in the 2nd and trine pluto), possibly that he meets through work (quincunx MC) and his insecurity does not help (venus semisquare sun). he can be a bit passy aggy. still, forming close relationships is the whole Thing of his personal soul journey (venus conjunct NN)--but it's also about learning to assert himself and have balanced relationships.

honestly though i think yeosang is more of the dipping-his-toe in type, probably has a lot of fleeting crushes he never acts on. he can be very flirtatious and tbh people may read him incorrectly and think he's more into them than he is. he's more comfortable single, even if he does have romance in his soul (sn conjunct uranus in aquarius in the 11th, leo venus). that past life baggage is heavy (chiron conjunct juno in scorpio at 29 in the 8th) and keeps him more comfy flitting on a surface level (sun in gemini, chart ruler mars in libra).

key words: idealizing, passy aggy, hesitant, past life betrayals

san: i think it's likely he has many short, intense relationships that he ends up self-sabotaging (south node in the 5th house, leo venus in the 12th house, chiron square venus). serial monogamist vibe. he is romantic, a little ego-centric but passionate and extroverted, in a secretive, deep-feeling and spiritual way (leo venus in the 12th house). this deep spiritual flashy love for romance and kind of love-bombing vibe (although he genuinely means it lmao it's not a tactic) runs into trouble because he has deep pain and past life baggage around romance, partnership, communication, as well as feeling misunderstood (venus square chiron in scorpio in the 3rd house).

he's gonna wanna talk and deeply communicate to get through that (scorpio, 3rd house) but his trust issues both in others and in himself (chiron, south node in aquarius) means he often bails too fast or subconsciously causes unnecessary arguments to get out (jupiter opposition scorpio mars in the 2nd). still he is optimistic and exuberant about love, sex and intimacy and is always ready to jump into something new (venus trine taurus jupiter in the 8th). he wants intense, all-consuming, romantic and passionate love--but once he's in it he doesn't always trust himself or the other person--sometimes rightfully so, as san likely lets himself be blinded by romantic possibility and others may take advantage of him, or simply not be down with the kind of intensity san brings to the table. (juno in scorpio conjunct chiron).

mingi: mingi's big life thing is a lot about struggling to communicate about his emotions (mercury in cancer at 29 degrees) so this is gonna gum up the works with relationships here. i hate not knowing houses because that can really change everything, but just knowing generally we can still do some work--he is practical but also kind of critical in relationships (venus in virgo) and can overthink everything because of his ideals or dreams of the "perfect" relationship (venus quincunx neptune in aquarius) or him thinking about what else may be out there. venus is ruled by mercury in cancer, so his trouble with communication really affects his relationships.

venus is also in its fall in virgo. when a planet is in its fall, it's like it's in another country where it doesn't know where it is, can't speak the language, doesn't have any currency, that kind of vibe. he'll struggle with this for sure but like anything you struggle with it can become your greatest strength. mingi really has a hard time with interpersonal relationships--romantic and platonic-- and finds it hard to navigate them. he can be critical of other people because he is so critical of himself. he makes judgements of other people quickly and has a hard time letting go of them. his venus is also retrograde--jesus can this kid catch a break??? i also have this--it's not that bad all by itself, mostly just means that you're gonna get things wrong a few times before you get it right and often you'll find your partner when you're a little older--but with everything else, jeez.

he probably has past life trust baggage like yeosang (venus square chiron and pluto), and some early life struggles with rejection and pain. if he's not careful he can become a bit manipulative (venus square pluto) because he usually thinks he's right (pluto in sagittarius) and honestly things often turn out in his favor (pluto trine north node) so that enforces the belief.

on the flip side of the manipulation, there's the potential for mingi to get into toxic relationships with people who treat him badly (juno conjunct chiron) or he may hurt them in return--though with both chiron and juno trining mercury in cancer i would assume it would be vulnerability to believing and empathizing with someone who may not deserve it because they nurture him and he wants badly to be nurtured. like with everything, there's the potential for either. pluto and lilith exactly conjunct at 7 degrees, very loosely conjunct chiron and juno and square venus -- there is a ton of sexual energy and the potential for power and pain, also seen with mars at home in scorpio.

every time i look at mingi's chart i'm like "oh jesus chriistttttttt bro give him a break" but hard charts often mean you turn out to have wayyy more depth and wisdom as you get older and tbh i prefer someone with a difficult chart to someone with a quote unquote easy chart.

wooyoung: ahh. oh boy. people like him and he likes people (venus at home in libra in the 1st) but how deep does he allow it to be? honestly he has a lot of fears and hangups around intimacy. he tends to jump into relationships and then keep the person at a distance either because of his career or his large friendship group/multiple romantic relationships (jupiter in aries in the 7th house square mars exalted in capricorn, juno in the 3rd). tbh he has a tendency to play manic pixie dream girl subconsciously as a way to keep himself safe from Being Perceived And Therefore Getting Hurt (venus in libra in the first trine uranus in aquarius in the 5th, uranus square mercury and saturn). relationships are a huge part of wooyoung's journey (libra rising, venus in the 1st, SN in the 5th) although he has to learn not to rely on them so much. true intimacy is tricky for wooyoung because he's actually pretty insecure (venus semisquare sun) and fears exposure.

he does genuinely need independence and honestly probably an open and/or polyamorous relationship (uranus trine venus, juno in sagittarius in the 3rd house) but he needs to learn to feel safe at at home and feel safe being Observed and learn to trust others with his very vulnerable and sensitive heart (moon in cancer, moon quincunx mercury). this is all honestly very tricky for him. he does really enjoy the push-and-pull, and also he can suddenly go cold on someone in a way that can stop progress in its tracks (mars at 29 in capricorn 4th house).

a partner is going to have to be smarter than wooyoung to keep his interest--wooyoung clocks it when he's smarter than someone or has someone in his pocket very easily and that will automatically make a person less appealing (mercury in the 2nd square uranus in aquarius in the 5th, mars exalted in capricorn). it's almost like he thinks that if someone is too into him wooyoung actually tricked them into liking him, therefore they don't like wooyoung they like the manic pixie dream boy and/or they like how wooyoung makes them feel, and the person believed wooyoung's trick so that makes the relationship not real and also makes the person too gullible so it's like ugh, never mind, ew. ugh. wooyoung has to learn to accept love. subconsciously he doesn't believe he deserves it (8th house saturn opposite mercury, square uranus, quincunx pluto, square lunar nodes). it makes him look callous or flighty or whatever but the root of the issue is his own feelings of unworthiness.

jongho: hahahaha another #same from me, he has saturn at 0 degrees, which basically is like. when a planet is at zero it is SO EXCITED to ACT OUT THE VIBE that it often overreaches. he probably has the ability to act insanely practically in a way that someone would be like oh my god, so COLD, so HARSH, but it's not meant that way at all. although he truly can dispassionately make a choice. he can go cold on people though. his venus is in scorpio (he's passionate, loyal, intense) which is ruled by his mars in virgo (can be critical, picky, discerning). venus in scorpio is also venus in detriment so like, he definitely can be passionate but he's gonna express love in sort of a sideways way sometimes.

his venus is trine his north node and sextile his south node which means that relationships with other people are essential to his soul's growth and journey--which is moving from capricorn to cancer, from sort of ruthless practicality, career, workaholic, anxiety, to accepting his deeper emotions, sort of like moving from society to home.

he likes people who are doing their own thing (juno in aquarius conjunct uranus) and are just as independent as he is (venus square uranus). he doesn't want someone who is clingy. tbh he's not like. the most nurturing individual, surprise surprise (juno conjunct uranus). however relationship things often work out well for him (venus exactly trine nn) and even though he can be pretty logical at all costs, it's not a tyrannical thing really. he has pretty good judgment (saturn trine neptune), if a little attached to societal conditioning.

lmao truly hate to say this but it's possible he has a sort of madonna whore thing with partners (juno opposite lilith) he'll have to get over. it can be a madonna whore thing within himself also--like he can be in a relationship with someone or he can be a freak in the sheets, but not both at the same time. sex and intimacy can be separated.

overall jongho seems like the one who fears true intimacy the least (except for san, a freak in the sheets and streets) although he also genuinely isn't a super emotional person (MOON AND ASCENDANT AFFECT THIS SO IDK FOR SURE)--just kind of an anxious or tense one at times.
