☁︎ aries (1°, 13°, 25°) and scorpio (8°, 20°) asmodeus (2174) people have a strong sexual energy

☁︎ 6h asmodeus (2174) people have a tendency to see the good in everyone around them and think they can/will change but it just leave them resentful of others - ALTERNATIVELY, they could be a workplace princess/prince where everyone feels the need to do things for them

I have VERY little exposure to catholicism outside of movies/TV so take my interpretation with a dollop of salt. this is a concept that's been plaguing me since your gorgeous essay on König and religion;

local nun offers to take care of König while he's forced to stay home for a injury, making him small meals, running errands, etc. he grows attached and starts attending church to see her more and then something something something she ends up giving him head in confessional.

Mandatory Hozier song to go along with this: Common Tongue

All reason flown as God looks on in abject apathy A squall and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety A moment's silence when my baby puts the mouth on me

Like a heathen clung to the homily Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me So summon on the pearl rosary Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me

me too tbh. I was raised Baptist 💀

This is a delicious idea and I cannot stop thinking about it. Luckily, dearest most beloved Salome @kneelingshadowsalome is working on a lil something something with nun mc (not to blow up her spot or anything LMAO) so we will be fed!!!

#as always a big fan of the hozier lyrics #answered #melancholic-thing

I'll be honest, I was more excited for this event before I read the key route. I'm a girl who wants my romance and kisses, okay? I can't help it. I get why it wasn't really there in the narrative sense but I find it irritating that some characters got at least a little romance while Mammon got basically none. Not that his wasn't very "Mammon" and all but still. I wanted my crumbs darn it.

Anyway I did find two moments I loved.

This one:

Seriously he's gonna make me cry! The Nightbringer MC support group (Mammon, Levi and Asmo) came together to cheer us up! I love them! They're so sweet! And Mammon just coming out with it and not even stuttering! How can anyone resist him?!

Now I'll say that I absolutely loved the "free" route. MC taking on a magical beast that demons of the past chose to appease instead fight is so damned cool. Pun intended.

I need to see everyone's MC dressed up as ice lions now! That is so silly and badass! I'm sure Mammon would love my Salome in icy heels.

Also, anyone who wasn't sure before that Mammon would love a big healthy carnivorous MC can rest your fears now ♡

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me one master to rule them all #obey me nightbringer #obey me mammon #mammon obey me #obey me event #nightbringer event #obey me event spoilers

CLOSING STATEMENTS

Marilyn Monroe has the most beauty asteroids in her 4th house (Scorpio, Sagittarius) [7/32]. The sign that appeared the most is a tie between Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces (all the water signs) [5/32 for all 3 signs].

Audrey Hepburn has an overwhelming number of beauty asteroids concentrated in the 7th house (Leo, Virgo, Libra). When I say overwhelming, I mean she has almost half of all these beauty asteroids in her 7th house [15/32]. Her most common sign is a tie between Virgo and Libra [7/32 for both]

Elizabeth Taylor's most common house is the 3rd (Pisces, Aries) and 8th house (Cancer, Leo, Virgo) [6/32 for both]. The most common sign is a tie between Scorpio and Pisces [6/32 for both].

Grace Kelly has a lot of beauty asteroids concentrated in her 1st house (Scorpio, Sagittarius) [9/32]. The most common sign is Scorpio [8/32], with Sagittarius as a close second [7/32].

Several formations, mainly Grand Trines, were made with asteroids and major planets. Most were in Marilyn and Elizabeth's charts.

Grace Kelly had many prominent asteroids related to royalty/nobility, which matches the fact that she became a royal [Kleopatra, Godiva, Regulus, Helena, Nefertiti].

There are many asteroids prominent in these charts, but these are the ones that were most interesting to me:

Photographica 443

All 4 women have become icons through their photographs and movies. Marilyn and Grace’s Photographica are aspecting their Vertex (destiny). Marilyn and Audrey have Photographica aspecting angular Moon, Venus, Neptune, AC. Elizabeth’s Photographica is conjunct her Neptune (film, illusion) and opposite her Sun/Mercury.

Sirene 1009

All have Sirene aspecting Mercury or in the 3rd house (seductive, enchanting voice) like an actual siren. Marilyn and Audrey were known for singing as well.

I want Riesbyfe back, but I also don’t want her back, because as for now, I think, she’s the only lesbian character that Nasu wrote. Like, not coded, not "gender doesn’t matter to me" (Nero, Rider), not under some delusion (Kiyo, Salome), but actually gay.

I get that bi/pan people exist, but Nasu’s depiction of female homosexuality always rubbed me the wrong way, because it was treated either like some weird quirk, or something that exists for male consumption, but never like a valid form of attraction. Like, both gay scenes in FSN are literally there for male (Shirou's) consumption. And Caster's route in EXTRA is still weirdly cisheteronormative for female MC, because she wants to find a husband, it just so happens that women can be qualified for the role of a husband.

And the delusions are probably the most annoying ones, because I feel like they play on that trope how girls don't really like girls, they're just practising for the man, and it is all play pretend. "Well, yes, Kiyo can love a woman, but she really lusts for a man, and you're just some weird replacement". Dunno, it is just weird and uncomfortable, and I hate it, and I'm worried about Ries.

Considering you cited "Bad Girl Online" when talking about Magical Girl Ward, will trust, rumors, friendship and such play an important role on the story?

definitely! i wanted to have like a larger "main" friend group with the 6 mcs i have planned, with smaller 2-3 person groups inside of that group... they all end up slowly antagonising each other, so there's a lot of betrayals and stuff planned! tho the 6 mcs aren't the only characters, i was hoping that patients (like salome) would be able to show a different perspective on the main girls' relationship :D tho i haven't written much yet, so these are all just general ideas!

Oscar refers to MC as his Salome in his voice lines. Salome is a figure from the Bible involved in the execution of John the Prophet and the main character of Oscar Wilde's play based on said event called Salome.

"I love you more than anyone in the world, my Salome. I am, of course, jesting. But may I still kiss your hand? *(Sigh)* You don't need to answer that with words."

"Welcome, my Salome, my up-and-coming lead actor. What would you like among these gathering talks of Tokyo? I'm happy to be paid in new conversation topics."

Salome is seen as a minor figure who is only doing her mother's bidding in the Bible, but is rewritten as a femme fatale in Oscar Wilde's version. She's young and beautiful, but she's also obsessive, spoiled, and vengeful. She seduces men to get what she wants, she refuses to take no for an answer, she drives a man to suicide and doesn't even react, and she orders that a man be beheaded, so she can finally have him.

So funny throwaway name or does Oscar actually liken MC to Salome in some way? MC does unintentionally fall into the femme fatale category since everyone's obsession over them causes chaos and destruction, but do they get the same reaction out of him? Or is he their Jochanaan? 🤔

(adding the story below involves making out with a decapitated head)

"At the beginning of the play, a drunken banquet is being held by King Herod and Queen Herodias. A young, Syrian captain, Narraboth, admires the young, beautiful princess, Salome, from his place on the terrace, earning a warning from King Herod's page that something bad might happen if he doesn't stop looking at her. Narraboth unfortunately ignores this warning. Jochanaan can be heard from a nearby cistern he's imprisoned, cursing Queen Herodias for her sinful ways, deeming her an incestuous sinner for marrying her brother-in-law after the death of her husband.

Salome decides to sneak away from the banquet to escape the leering gaze of her step-father and his entourage, and ends up on the terrace with Narraboth and the others. Narraboth comments on Salome's beauty, but is ignored by her. Jochanaan can be heard yelling again, which peaks Salome's interest. She asks the guards to let her see Jochanaan, but they refuse. Narraboth eventually relents after Salome offers to look at him and to bring him a flower in exchange for doing this.

Salome is both terrified and entranced by Jochanaan's appearance. She begs him to let her touch his hair, then his skin, and finally his lips. Knowing who her mother is, Jochanaan rejects her advances, refusing to even look at her and referring to her as the daughter of Sodom and Babylon. Narraboth tries to dissuade her from pursuing another man, but she completely ignores him once again. Unable to bear the fact that Salome desired another man, Narraboth stabs himself to death right beside her. Too consumed by her obsession, Salome doesn't even notice Narraboth die. She continues to beg to kiss Jochanaan on his lips, ignoring any rejection. She insists that she WILL kiss Jochanaan's lips no matter what. Jochanaan curses Salome and tells her to seek God before returning to the cistern.

King Herod appears, looking for Salome as Queen Herodias angrily follows him, trying to get him to return to the banquet and complaining at him for looking at her daughter in such a lustful manner. He then slips in Narraboth’s blood, causing him to briefly panic and hallucinate. Queen Herodias asks him to go back inside with her, but King Herod’s is too focused on his step-daughter. Jochanaan resumes cursing Queen Herodias within the cistern, upsetting her, but King Herod refuses to punish the prophet over this.

King Herod asks Salome to join him for a drink and meal, but she rejects his advances, insisting that she is neither hungry nor thirsty. King Herold then begs her to dance for him. Salome refuses at first, but agrees after he promises to give her anything she wants, even if it were half of the kingdom. She ignores her mother's protests and dances seductively for her step-father. Afterwards, the delighted king wants to know what reward she would like, and she innocently asks for the head of Jochanaan on a silver platter. Herod, horrified by this, refuses and offers other rewards, but Salome insists on receiving Jochanaan's head.

King Herod finally gives in and sends the executioner to retrieve her reward. As Salome impatiently waits, she hears the clattering of a sword from the cistern and believes the executioner is hesitating, sending her into hysterics, demanding that her step-father send someone else to do it. But the executioner eventually returns with the prophet’s head and brings it to her. Salome addresses Jochanaan's decapitated head as if he were still alive and finally kisses his lips as she said she would. King Herod orders that everyone turn off all the lights, so he won't have to witness the disturbing sight, but the moonlight once again illuminates Salome and the decapitated head. Horrified and disgusted, King Herod orders his soldiers to kill her. They proceed to surround Salome and crush her to death with their shields."
