When lifeboatmen from the #RNLI dragged their boat 13 miles to rescue the stricken Forrest Hall
Built and launched in Liverpool in 1883, the Forrest Hall was a three masted, iron hulled ship, 277 feet long with a gross tonnage of 2.052, capable of carrying over 3,000 tons of coal in her hold. In early January 1899 she set out from Avonmouth Docks to Liverpool for a refitwithout cargo, only ballast, and with a skeleton crew of eighteen including five apprentice sailors instead of its usual…
[I AM FOLLOWING AYESHA K.FAINES RESEARCH OF FEMININE ARCHETYPES]
↳ the sexual feminine archetype of the queen archetype.
♇ if you are the empress archetype that means that you got the queen archetype being your highest percent [aside from the lover] and you got the lover percentage lower than 70%.
♇ the empress is one of the sexual feminine archetypes of that belong to the feminine archetype the queen, whereas the other sexual feminine archetype is the diva.
♇ [the queen is the feminine archetype while the empress is the sexual feminine archetype, its associate being the diva].
♇ those who belong to the empress archetype are people who like it when people are committed to them because they are people who find worth and value in commitment, marriage, along with the reputation they have in a community they're in.
♇ they're people who can command respect from both men and women; and to majority of them, marriage isnt that important but they like to have partners that are on their level, or someone they can consider to be good enough for them.
♇ they're women who have regal energy and much inner-strength and that attracts so much people towards their way, they know how to inspire their partners and give their partners the attention "they need".
♇ majority of the times their partner usually depends on them for moral support, for example, kim kardashian's ex husband, kanye west.
♇ besides that, these are women who have an extravagant style, and know how to climb the social ladder to get what they want, that involves opportunities and titles/status. they're also the type of people to give people in the circles opportunities.
♇ some empress women might defy and resist their inner-erotic and sensual nature which can make it harder for the empresses to realise what they actually want in their romantic love life.
♇ when not truly stepped into their empress status, they are people who hesitate or shy away from romantic situations, emma watson, a good example, had a crush on her co-star tom felton but nothing happened romantically. [thankfully].
♇ when un-evolved, the empress woman is prone to be jealous, arrogant and possessive when they're in a romantic relationship, they can also have a tendency of losing themselves in relationships which can ruin their regal appeal.
♇ aside from that, they're women who demand respect and know what they're talking about whenever they're in a conversation. they have a big personality and can be very confrontational.
♇ they are very expressive with their face and their words, they're women who know they're the queen wherever they are, they know that they're usually the face of a product/band or franchise! this could lead to both queen archetypes, the empress and the diva.
♇ they're women who know what they bring to the table, very straight forward with their communication, might throw some people off because of it. whilst doing research i've noticed that majority of them always tilt their head down, it's like a symbol of them knowing they are above others.
♇ when rumours are made, they are quick to dismiss it as people usually assume things about them.
♇ these women always have a story to tell, they are the life of the party. they are very shady people, the type to make obvious backhanded insults.
♇ they know how to make their parents calm, it's either that or they like to feel above their partners, for example, having the need to wear the pants in the relationship. sometimes they're sly about wanting to wear the pants, it as if they're some puppeteer.
♇ they're women who like to surprise people; whenever they're in a franchise, they are mostly the iconic person or the face of the franchise, or even the female face, for example, emma watson with harry potter. jennie kim with black pink, nene leakes with real house wives and tiffany pollard [new york] with flavour of love.
♇ they're trendsetters and very memeable; they're unintentionally funny and will always be remembered for something specific.
♇ they always here to say the truth and tea, and are lovers of nostalgia. they get attention wherever they are, very smiley people. even if they can be considered straightforward they have an eloquent or posh-like way of delivering comments.
♇ when it comes to slices of life, they're very relatable people, they're great at interviews and excellent at getting comfortable in a public space.
♇ on the other hand, are the type to overthink and try to be perfect. a lot of them are well-spoken and like things to be very specific and detailed.
♇ some of them dont have a good posture, or they're always leaning forward; they have a thing for vintage stuff or things that remind them of the past. as i have done research on them, i have noticed a lot of them mention their family a lot, and majority of them are open to having families.
♇ often favoured when they're in a company, often viewed as someone who is bratty. due to them having so much of a regal aura people get intimidated.
♇ empress women tend to be interested in fashion; even if they're not the main person in a franchise, like a group or tv show they're most likely going to be the face of the show. for example, how scott mccall was the main character of teen wolf but the face of teen wolf was stiles.
♇ they're very hardworking people, depending on their position in life, they normally have a rags-to-riches story. are very grateful to the people who have helped them before they were famous as they are proud at the position they are in life currently, they are not afraid to flaunt their rich accessories and their success.
♇ they're very loving to children; if they do not value themselves, they will only find their value in romantic relationships. family are a key in their lives, are big on family dynasty and always know how to make money.
♇ they love jewellery but are not excessive with it, they can wear a lot of them but they dont over do it, they still find a way to make it look classy.
♇ they're social climbers and trendsetters, people like to copy them because of how appealing their style is. they like to become a better version of themselves, they're very transformative.
♇ people usually like to ask about their upbringing their pasts are very interesting to the public.
♇ they always have a new era, the eras consisted of them having a new aesthetic. a lot of women who belong to the empress archetype were always famous, where it be internet popularity, school popularity, community popularity, they were always known somewhere.
other empress ↴
♇ empresses i put above are nene leakes, nicola peltz, tiffany pollard, georgina rodriguez, majorie harvey and emma watson.
♇ when comprehending the empress archetype, you'll understand that they will always be able to make a name for themselves, they have stunning smiles and gentle personalities you'll see when you pierce through their cold exteriors. [majority of them].
♇ and to make the empress archetype easier to comprehend i gathered characters from different tv shows or movies that come under the archetype.
♇ we have from gossip girl ⟶ blair waldorf; the woman was definitely a socialite, grew up in a socialite household and always ruled whatever community she was in. she had created an empire for herself, and created a brand that included something she had always been great at, fashion; she did not have a rags to riches plot line, but she had the sass and intelligence of a true empress. and was even the queen of monaco once.
♇ from game of thrones ⟶ margaery tyrell; she knew how to climb the ladder and had every suitor she wanted around her finger. she wanted to be the queen and had gotten the title twice, had the shade and back-handed compliments an empress archetype can easily deliver, you could see it whenever she conversed with cersei. she had a fond for children and an intimidating eloquence.
♇ we have from salem ⟶ mary sibley; i know i have mentioned her in the other feminine archetypes but she is a very changing and transformative women. she climbed up the social ladder and ruled over an empire/town while keeping her husband under captive with her witchcraft, was very demanding and had respect from everyone who engaged with her before, even if they didnt like her, they still respected her rags to riches story.
♇ next from the frozen franchise ⟶ elsa; built her own dynasty/empire, is someone who doesnt know what they want in romance, specifically in the first movie, but as the franchise moves forward, she is comfortable being on her own and nurturing her powers and legacy.
♇ onto the parent trap ⟶ meredith blake; a gold-digger, that's enough lmao, love her character though.
♇ from house of the dragon ⟶ alicent hightower; she is evidently a woman who doesnt know what she wants in romance, another socialite and social climber [mainly because of her father, otto hightower], very tactful to get what she wants, even though she was evil, she did "love?" her children or did try and understand them, example, her and haelena. was a very shady character, especially with her comment to laenor about him trying harder next time so he could get a child that looks like him.
♇ we have from the resident evil franchise ⟶ bela dimitrescu; she was the leader of the dimitrescu sisters and even the face, she's mainly the favoured sister online, very cunning and conniving like a true unevolved empress woman.
♇ lastly from the great ⟶ catherine the great; likes to wear the pants in the relationship and will always attempt to prove herself. will always say what is in her mind, and is even known as a legendary empress, in real life and in entertainment.
♇ upon my research, i found out that empress women are most likely to have libra, sagittarius and capricorn in their big three/six; in order.
♇ along with them being sagittarius, capricorn or aquarius dominant; typed in order.
♇ uranus, mercury and jupiter dominance appeared in many of their natal charts; typed in order.
♇ going through all of the women i have in this post, the element that won dominance for the empress archetype was the air element, fire came second and earth third.
♇ lastly, the modality that took appearance the most in their natal charts was the mutable modality.

VOB files. One of the most legendary Phantom's opposite one of the youngest Christine's!
rather than who you would like to see on the next taskmaster series, who do you think will be on it? like just your predictions or any inklings you may have!
anon if you're still around then you'll know i really took my time with this hahaha so sorry! i hope anyone reading this takes it as just a bit of fun and nbd, who knows who we'll get or who alex & the network have in mind! i'm answering thoughtfully (bc i always feel guilty not to 😩 so sorry this is long lol) but it's really just fun!!
i will say, of the more recent-ish series, i did get a few right!!! krishnan guru-murthy, nicola coughlan, alan davies, judi love, sue perkins, john robins, and joanne mcnally were people i just knew would eventually be on if the show could get their schedules right, and i was also certain sarah millican and dara ó briain would be asked — though not necessarily that they'd actually agree. when you have a level of seniority and esteem, the "it's such a great opportunity" aspect of the show isn't such a draw 😅 for some reason i feel SO PROUD about guessing nicola! i was just WAITING and wish sooooo much she had done a full series 😭😭😭 (how fun would saoirse-monica jackson be too!)
anyways, as for people who haven't been on yet — and this isn't to say i want them all to be, just that i think it's likeliest they have been asked or will be asked; i talked about who i want to see a little while ago here — it's important to consider the casting 'roles' the network has in mind when working with the producers to form a series, so i will keep that in mind too!
established comedian, typically a straight white man over 40: bill bailey, vic reeves, harry hill, geoff norcott, kevin bridges, adam buxton, ade edmondson, paul whitehouse (tommy tiernan? god i feel bad for not saying ed byrne but why do i feel like he's not gonna make it in the next few series? i'm on the fence with nick helm — unless he's friends with alex, then his chances go up significantly imo — and tom allen for some reason, and i feel like john bishop is almost too much of an ask?)
fresh talent comedian, typically a man under 40: rhys james, huge davies, ahir shah, darren harriott would be my top guesses but tbh any of the semi-recent edinburgh comedy award finalists are good bets as a majority of the winners from the last ~10 years have been on the series + throwing out tom rosenthal (i know he's not fresh fresh and also mostly an actor)...and, like, jazz emu?...just because if taskmaster know how much its audience adores weird little white twinks then they'll cast them
female or non-binary comedian: 100% sarah keyworth + harriet kemsley, maisie adam, jess fostekew, suzi ruffell. i've shifted away from betting on cariad lloyd and catherine bohart for some reason... (joanne was my no.1 lady bet for the last like 4 series hahaha)
non-comedian: this is very, very hard to predict because between comedy actors, non-comedy actors, tv presenters, news people, reality & social media stars... the potential predictions are just so endless! logically, the most likely is an established actor with a lot of comedy connections (think sally phillips, lolly adefope, liza tarbuck, sian gibson, daisy may cooper, susan wokoma; this category is where tm gets quite a few of its female contestants): matt holness, kevin eldon, amanda abbington, tom davis, sharon horgan, kathy burke, georgia tennant (also friends w alex?), su pollard, tom basden, apparently anyone from the cast of ghosts, and so on and so on and so on... + i'll also throw out maggie aderin-pocock as a serious contender + i really feel like one of the spice girls will be on new years treat
friend of alex: john robins was the prediction for the past few series, so just worth keeping in mind other people in this circle include elis james, matthew crosby, tom neenan, and so on
freebie answers because alex/greg have mentioned them before: jack dee, lorraine kelly, joanna lumley (i want jennifer saunders SO BAD give us an epic series w both ade and jen pleaseeee tm gods!!!!)
complete wild card bets that are either my instincts kicking in or my bias taking over: limmy, adam buxton, paddy mcguinness, diane morgan, daniel sloss, joel dommett, jess hynes, spencer jones??, alasdair beckett-king or josh pugh + if suzy izzard wasn't doing a big nyc show i'd say that's a good guess if only bc you know greg & alex grew up big fans
did i mention too many people?? if i had to put my money behind a single person it would be either ahir shah or sarah keyworth
these are almost all of my fr big heavy hitters when it comes to placing bets! but there are of course so many people i didn't name who i could totally see on either a main series or the ny treat — so many people just make sense and that's the beauty of taskmaster!!
