Me in hebrew class (didn't do my assignment):

אני פורגור💀

[ourpleferret]

Something in me is snapping. The brain worms. I'm losing my sanity it's unreal

[angelofnihil]

i called out of work to do homework/other productive things and it is now 2pm and literally all i've done so far today was talk to my mom for like 3 hours and now i'm sitting on the floor in front of my heater getting high and watching game shows lol

[awkwarddork-0]

oh how did sarkath react to ghido dying in the movie or did ghido not die in ur au. meow is there angst in ur au i wanna learn ghyihfwiq

Sarkath didn't know Ghidorah ever died for a very long time. Why?

Due to [certain circumstances] one day they split up and went different ways. Astrohydras have it in their blood to navigate through space. Even though it hurt them to part ways with each other, they simply assumed it wouldn't be forever.

Sarkath lives his life and even manages to start a family. Meanwhile, Ghidorah lands on Earth and (still) dies by Godzilla's hand, but it's going to be different in my au than what happened in kotm.

It would be an end to Ghidorah and Sarkath's friendship... If the universe (me) didn't like our golden king so much.

Not knowing how much time has passed since his death - the next time Ghidorah opens his eyes, he's on another planet full of life (similar to Earth but not quite) and sees three pairs of blue eyes staring right at him.

I'm not good at storytelling so please forgive me if it seems things are happening a bit all over the place ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

The rules: Writer summarises current WIPs badly. Readers vote on the one that sounds most interesting. Writer shares a snippet of the winning story as a reward.

Little twist: one of them is actually in italian, so I'm not really sure it could interest anyone, still fighting with myself to decide if I should translate it before even finishing it.

Edo Avante Garde

A documentary on the history of Edo period Japanese folding screens.

Before discussing the documentary I would like to give a brief introduction to its creator. Linda Hoaglund is a film producer, and translator that graduated from Yale, and was born and raised in a more rural part of Japan, by her parents who went there as missionaries. As such she was in just about every way except genetically Japanese, and had grown up living a very Japanese way of life. Thanks to this she is fluent in Japanese. Her knowledge of both Japanese and Western customs and cultures aided in her efforts to receive help/cooperation from many temples, shrines, and art institutions to create this documentary.

In the 1600’s, at the start of the Edo period Tokugawa Shogun took power leading to a peaceful era post civil war, raising the status of samurai, and closed Japan off from the West. As such,for the next roughly 250 years, during this era while Japan was cut off from the rest of the world, its economy, culture and art began to flourish. 

The art primarily discussed here will be byobu. A Japanese folding partition that is painted with ink, and often decorated with gold leaf paper. The byobu are large roughly 6 foot tall privacy screens that often decorated the rooms of Shogun, samurai, and merchants.

The Japanese painting style is very different from that of the West. Rather than using oils, or charcoal to illustrate a page, in Japan they used ink. The Japanese painting style also does not rely on a focal point to illustrate depth, but rather a layering of things in the foreground, and moving those things in the background further up the page. 

Near the end of the Edo era there was also a shift in the power dynamic of the country. From the authorities and samurai over to the merchants where the meaning behind the art being displayed changed. No longer were these large paintings meant to be displays of force and power, but were rather to show a merchant's discernment and wealth. So the mood that needed to be illustrated was no longer an oppressive one represented by large animals like peacocks and tigers, but could change depending on the mood the merchant wanted to give in the room it would be displayed. This gave artists a great deal more freedom with their work. (Using the word oppressive may have seemed strange as a way to describe this type of Art, but not only considering the size, and content, but also the way this media is consumed can make it so. Not only are these paintings quite large, but typically when one viewed them they would not be walking by in the gallery, but rather sitting near them, thus giving the sense of being surrounded.)  Because of this Japan entered into an era of experimentation you could say with their art. A combination of hyperrealism and abstract allowing the eye to see an ever-changing scenery on the byoubu. The blank page, or empty space filled with gold leaf, would often be used to illustrate the clouds, the ground, or even just the entire background scenery. This is because as the merchants no longer wanted to overwhelm individuals with the art, the freedom the artists were given led them to making smaller pieces on the byobu. That is not to say however that the pieces are worse or not of equal value to those before, many of them may even be more valuable just because of the level of detail, experimentation, and thought put into the composition. As in these types of painting each stroke counts. It's not like with oils where you can go over and hide your mistakes, but if a mistake is made it is one that has to either be worked with in a way so that it's not noticeable, or restarted. Many of these practices are ones that would not come to the Western world of art until much later. It is this almost modern multimedia, freeform, and experimental aspects that led Linda Hoaglund to saying these pieces were Edo Avant Garde.

Japanese art is heavily connected to nature, religion, and spiritualism. In Shintoism it is believed that every living thing has a spirit. This is reflected in the art of Edo Japan with the practice of Shasei, or drawing from life. While of course many artists approach this in different ways, whether they approach the image with hyperrealism or abstract simplicity, in each painting a sort of character or essence for the animals illustrated can be seen. This is almost directly oppositional to the West where our approach to painting animals is typically very anatomical, and is meant to look accurate to the eye, but is also seen as kitsch or embarrassing. Yet in Japan some of the most famous artists of their time like Ito Jakchu, and Maruyama Okyo, are known to have painted not just any animals, but their own pets. In the case of Jakchu, part of what led him to become so well known was the hyper realistic nature of the birds, and specifically his chickens, that he was painting. For Okyo, they were known for painting a variety of different things, many of them from life, but the ones I can't help but remember the most are the ones they did of puppies. 

Now with Japanese art, as I stated before, it's not typically necessary for something to be painted as you would see it with the eye. So long as it is representational of the spirit then often that successful completion of a piece. In the documentary another reason stated for this is the fact that humans are perhaps not meant to be the ones whose point of view is represented by the artist, but rather in many cases it is the point of view of the gods. There are a number of illustrations on these byobu that represents a story, but rather than choosing one specific scene from this story it shows the scene in its entirety, oftentimes the point of view of the clouds. Many of these paintings also depict natural phenomena as works of the gods. Rarely in any of these paintings though is the primary focus a person. Portraits, while very popular in the West, in Japan were rarely done. Even in many of the paintings including people the people are just a small part of it, like the rest of the animals and things in this world. That is yet another reason that many say Japanese paintings are meant to represent the view of the gods.

These are the pieces that inspired the greats such as Hokusai, and directly led to the expansion of Japanese art and culture in the West to shape the works of Van Gogh and Jean Claude Monet

Words of interest:

Byoubu- folding partitions often golden or painted

Shasei- painting from nature

Tarashikomi - wet on wet painting technique

Sensu- folding fans with story or art printed

Avant Garde- new experimental ideas in art

Some thoughts on art:

I had a moment to talk to the filmmaker of the doc. Edo Avant Garde which was shown at PSU, and a lot of what we talked about was how when these byobu are commonly used theyre just opened up in a museum behind some glass and everyone’s walking by, the viewer doesn’t even really get to appreciate just how big the piece is, or get close enough to see the detail, and even the height at which your seeing it is not how it was intended to be viewed. This really ended up taking a lot of the impact, and functionality from the art. Originally the 6ft tall folding screens were meant to fill the room (as a backdrop) of a meeting/ gathering of some sort. They are meant to be seen from relatively close-up, most of the time theyre seen would be from a sitting position making them appear even larger, and with natural or candlelight (which makes the gold leaf reflect differently and is super cool) I think the way that we in the west consume art doesn’t necessarily make sense for those cultures for which their art is not just meant to be a painting on canvas but is meant to be functional, or used/ viewed in certain ways.

Astrology observations #5🖤

🌜I wrote these for fun, based on how i see these placements. i'm not a professional! hope you enjoy these🌛

⭐cancer placements allow themselves to feel their emotions. they may get annoyed by the intensity or the amount of them, but they process them fully, and this makes it easier for them to move on. random thought but writing letters to people they like may be something they do or did as kids haha. they're very romantic

⭐some aries venuses have obsessive tendencies when they have a crush, and they get frustrated a lot if they think they can't/shouldn't pursue them. they enjoy the tension, but they don't want it to last too long because they dislike not being in control, and having feelings for someone leaves them feeling too vulnerable. that's why they try to move on if they can, but it takes work. when they do find someone, they become really clingy but they still need freedom when it suits them

⭐mars in libra avoid conflicts and try to be reasonable about everything, but if they think you crossed a line, you'll see why aries is their sister sign pretty soon. once they tell you off, you'll never see them the same way, so underrestimate them at your cost

⭐having stelliums can be interesting. it for sure puts a lot of emphasis on the influence of that house on your life, and i found that it can be both positive and negative since they face lots of challenges related to their house but also many blessings. those who have stelliums kind of embody multiple characteristics simultaneously

⭐sun in the 11th people glow when they are with their closest friends. they also tend to dream big and care a lot about the world. their friends usually help them in their future goals. they feel a bit different than people in their hometown/country, mostly because they cannot be tied down to a single culture because they enjoy different things, which usually makes them quite open-minded and tolerant. they can be picky about the people they let in super close though

⭐mars in the 6th can procrastinate a lot actually, but they get things done. may get sudden waves of high energy and get things done rapidly and extensively. they expect a lot from themselves regarding their ambitions and aspirations. they try to improve themselves in any way most of the time, but they should also accept their current state if they want to evolve and love themselves. they need to watch out for their moral perfectionism too. it's okay to make mistakes as long as you apologise and strive to change for the better

⭐i've found that virgo mercuries can be really direct, even if they are shy or don't talk much around strangers or acquaintances, they have their moments. super funny too

⭐north node in cancer struggle with accepting their vulnerable side. they hate feeling like things and people can evoke strong emotions in them. they want to be more detached, but those that work on themselves find it very rewarding once they embrace their strong emotions. they can also be really reliable, practical, and thoughtful

⭐fire+water combinations in birth charts-i am sending you a hug. i know exactly how difficult it is to keep all those emotions under check, and that you need a lot of understanding and rest to function. use those emotions and passions well hun, you are strong and capable. you have a lot of empathy and wonder inside of you

⭐capricorn sun/mercury have a dry way of texting. their humor is difficult to read via text and they simply are not fans of texting, and it shows lol

⭐aries mercuries are not always available online and they may come and go when they're online, but they'll answer all of your messages one by one with lots of enthusiasm. they also like to send memes and joke around a lot

⭐virgo mercuries are not fans of texting and they can answer you after a couple of days or so even if they really like you. similarly to aries, they'll make sure they answer everything and they also pay attention to every detail you mention. very sweet really. their humor shines brighter in person

⭐taurus moon are very capable. they may prefer rest over anything else, but their patience and dedication to the things they need to do is really cool. they are calm most of the time so it's nice to be around them, just don't disrespect them and everyone will thrive

⭐taurus venus men can be really possessive. even if you like such behavior, some can go to extremes and try to control how you feel, think, and behave. they have a specific image of an ideal partner and they want you to fulfill it

⭐libra venus tend to care about how they look and present themselves so they put lots of effort into that. they also have standards when it comes to beauty and some expect others to dress and look well, whether they know them or not

⭐women with venus in aquarius-you may be attracted to men who are mysterious and act like they're special. just be careful because there are so many toxic ones out there who want a relationship but not truly, because they don't want to dedicate themselves to you and maybe plan on using you

⭐pisces moon can feel like they're drowning in their own emotions sometimes because they cannot control them easily and they tend to give in. if they like to portray themselves as a martyr these emotions can get out of hand because they let those emotions lead them which influences their mental health and relationships. those who are developed process these emotions and try to figure them out and let them pass. they can learn a lot about themselves and others this way. creative outlets can be of help to process this

⭐leo moon need to watch out for hurting people when their ego is hurt because they can lash out and make lots of damage. take a second to think whether it's worth it or not, since there is no point in trying to "win" in a fight with someone you love

⭐pisces mars can be too forgiving, especially to those they care about. don't let people walk over you dear, no matter who they are. nobody deserves that kind of treatment

thank you for reading!🤍i also offer paid astrology readings, so check out my blog for more info

Could you Possibly do a Red and Green Flags or a NSFW analysis for Mingyu of SVT, Whichever you’d rather do if possible, Thank you

𝐊𝐢𝐦 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝟏𝟖+ (𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝)

Word Count: 2.5 K (circa)

Disclaimer: This analysis is for entertainment purposes only and should NOT be taken seriously or in a professional manner.

Methodology: Traditional astrology and Whole sign house analysis.

Placements:

Aries Sun (11th House)

Pisces Moon (10th House)

Gemini Rising (Mercury Ruled)

Taurus Mercury (12th House)

Aries Venus (11th House)

Virgo Mars (Retrograde 4th House)

Fuckboi Rating: 4/10

Mingyu's Aries stellium indicates he THINKS he can have sex w/o feelings and be okay with it but his Pisces Moon betrays him every time and this leads to things being MESSY!!!

His 12th House Mercury can inhibit his communication style and therefore he might be the type to keep avoiding the issue and procrastinating speaking about his feelings until he's too far into the connection.

So, his energy is not giving me fuckboi but definitely the type to pursue fwb's/situationships and then it goes horrifically wrong.

Red & Green Flags:

Red:

The 12th House Mercury is going to be a nightmare to work with as a partner because you know that scene in The Notebook where Noah is like 'what do you want? WANT DO YOU WANT?'

That's what it's going to be like with Mingyu- an indecisive mofo who cannot reveal his feelings until he's practically pushed into a corner and you're having to force it out of him.

Definitely embodies the 'one that got away' trope as he confesses his feelings when it's too late because he's too busy overthinking in his head.

An emotionally sensitive teddy bear who gets upset and dramatic over any minor issue (which is cute in my mind but I need help...).

Green:

I'm an Aries and I'm constantly defending Aries placements because we get such SHIT but he has an Aries Sun conjunct Venus which is a beautiful placement imo because his whole desire as a partner is for you to love yourself as much as he loves you.

Being in a relationship with him would be an especially healing one because he would encourage you to heal and nurture yourself with him as a supportive partner.

His Pisces Moon encourages him to be super empathetic and even have psychic abilities as a partner and he has high intuition- he would probably know what got you upset before you do.

Service oriented and a provider, I'll include this with every person who's a Virgo Mars but they truly enjoy pleasing their partner because that's what helps them feel fulfilled as a boyfriend.

Ideal Type...If He's Into Women:

Physical Traits:

Venus in Aries is interesting because they don't tend to have a specific 'physical' type but more so are drawn to energy/vibes so his type physically is all over the place.

This man is so wattpad coded omg it makes me cringe so hard but I've noticed men with an Aries Venus are attracted to girls who can rock the baggy clothing/messy bun duo- particularly with his known love for his height omg if you look hot with his clothes on!!! He'll have his hands all over you all the time.

The 4th House Mars indicates he would love a woman on the 'curvier' side and is a total peaches man for sure.

Honestly, if I'm to be blatant, I feel like Mingyu would love a short, curvy, plus-size, voluptuous whatever term you desire partner that can wear his clothes and be constantly excited whenever you see him.

The ultimate golden retriever x sunshine gf energy.

Personality Traits:

Aries Venus= humour and mischief! He wants a partner who's spontaneous, loud and sociable. The type to not take things too seriously.

Honestly, with that 5th house in Libra- he really would be attracted to the manic pixie energy type and be interested in someone who's 'quirky' and 'not like the other girls'.

The easiest way I can describe this energy is think of 2010-2018 Tumblr energy when John Green novels were at their peak in fame, the whimsical, adventurous, free-spirited type (I love and hate it at the same time).

Domestic, homely and orderly- he doesn't need a partner who's a neat freak but can clean up after themselves and doesn't need to be told or reminded constantly to do so.

Dom, Sub or Switch:

His Pisces Moon and Virgo Mars gives him a lot of flexibility with power dynamics and makes him a strong switch with dominant preference.

Mingyu is a gentle giant but he is a GIANT however and needs to feel like he is one to feel satisfied in his manhood, he doesn't care if you're the more decisive partner as long as he decides how to pleasure you in the bedroom.

He is an Aries stellium after all and the heavy Mars energy signifies he has a high drive and does still need to prove himself and show off just how hard he can have you trembling underneath him.

As a dominant, he's definitely more a pleasure-oriented soft dominant, he does love a challenge and to be teased but he's a service dom through and through.

Kinks...Just A Few Of Them:

Breeding/Pregnancy:

The 4th House is ruled by Cancer and represents domesticity and home life and I'm sure he's mentioned wanting children in the future because oh my lawdd- this is how he enjoys staking his claim.

He wants to see you full and swollen with his child, he wants to pump you full with his cum and see if it sticks because that's his way of gently claiming you and reminding you that you're his.

'My god you're a glowing sweetheart, you look so beautiful filled with me, I just want to lay you down and give you another baby'.

Nipple Play/Lactation/Anything Boobies

The 4th House influence means Mingyu is a peach and cherries man which does go hand in hand with his breeding/pregnancy kink because anything with your tatas would drive him crazy.

So yeah, I do think he would prefer someone with a big bosom that he can bury his face and leave little marks and kisses all over your chest.

If you were pregnant or breastfeeding, I'm sure he'd love to clean your milk off with his tongue and I think if he were to enter into a submissive state, he would be the type to just fall asleep and feel completely ease with your nipple in his mouth.

'You're so soft and you smell so nice, just let me keep my face here for awhile mmmh?? I'll be good, this is my comfort zone'.
