All this kitty paw booping going rampant on tumblr today urged me to draw Catboy Gemini again just because I can, so why not.

Enjoy the nonsense!

Somewhat human shaped…petite…void of all color. My skin…white…my hair…white…my eyes…black. I am the embodiment of everything and nothingness. All colors and therefore all things reside in concept within this visage. I am moldable…free from the substantial reality. What I need I will manifest. If I need to fly I grow wings, if I need to speak I grow mouths in number. Even my Genitals alter as I need them to. I am all things and I am nothing. Both big and small, light and heavy…a formless one given solidity through my travels through the realms. Sometimes…only my senses remain, outside of any sort of physical embodiment. I can see without eyes, taste without a mouth, and hear without ears. Even pleasures can still fill me, in this state beyond physicality.

I am pure here in the astral regardless of the state I am taking. I’m untouched and untainted by the plagues of nuance within the fears of the physical understanding. The entrapment of the mortal world. Clothing? No thank you. Gender? I’m beyond its mechanism. Sexuality? Beyond understanding. Religion? Only a construct. Here in the limitless I experience everything differently. There is nothing like shame, or impropriety. I’m truly free.

Want to lucid dream?

This for me is the fun part, questioning, doing the reality check. Do you want to know if you are dreaming or not? In a discreet way, take your finger, grab it lightly, and pull it slightly with the intention that it is going to stretch―not too hard―you don’t want to hurt yourself, but you should have the intention and the motive that your finger is going to stretch.

The reason is in the astral dimension, your astral body is subjected to different laws. The astral body can become elastic. It can stretch. It can become small. It can fly. It can come apart. The matter of that vehicle, of that body, is not as material as this physical world. It does have a type of material, energetic substance, and so if you find that in your dream your finger is stretching, you got your answer. You know you are in the astral dimension, and this is the beginning of knowing how to investigate the higher worlds: when you recognize that you are out of your body, and you’ve verified it.

Another way to do it, to check your reality, is to jump in the air. You might not want to do this at work or someplace too public, but if you are in private somewhere, you can jump in the air with the intention of flying, physically, obviously. But in the dream state, if you are levitating, you have got your answer.

But the only way that you can do this is if, in the day time, discreetly, when you see something very unusual, something out of the ordinary in your daily physical life, you pull your finger, or if you are somewhere alone, jump in the air. See if you float. There is this advantage to being very mechanical, meaning, we kind of repeat past behaviors unconsciously. If you train your unconscious behavior to check yourself all the time, when necessary, when convenient, when you dream, you do the same thing. It becomes automatic. You train yourself, so that now, you are awake. You know where you are and what you can do.

"When the physical and astral bodies are in perfect congruence, they look very much alike in shape, form, and essence. Transgendered individuals almost all have an astral body that reflects some aspect of their internal conception of their gender, although it may be more or less hermaphroditic than their internal conception. This is one of the few types of inherent dissimilarity. (Other inherent dissimilarities involve being not-quite-entirely human, and that is beyond the scope of this article.)"

- Excerpt from the essay "Body Congruence," by Joshua Tenpenny, printed in Raven Kaldera's book Hermaphrodeities: The Transgender Spirituality Workbook (Hubbardston, MA: Asphodel Press, 2008), page 312.

Some language notes: Seeing "transgendered" and "hermaphrodite" as less than ideal word choices was an idea that took time to catch on. In this book's particular time period and LGBTQI social circles, the writers saw these as acceptable words. By "astral body," the author means a spiritual counterpart of the body (p. 311).

The stars vs their ruler (ft lunar)

Gemini and Taurus be fighting again

[notokbutthriving]

I’m interested in that AU

Well basically the Astrals decided that Lunar was too much of a risk alive and, despite Gemini's protests, killed him. But, because of star power and the fact that no one in the family can stay dead, he came back as a full Astral. Polaris, the Guiding Star.

He isn't quite like the others as he is in more connection to actual space, like he just fades into it rather than standing amongst it. He doesn't remember much but he remembers two things: He likes Gemini and the faces of his family.

He doesn't remember where his family is however, and spends most of his time searching for them, in the process finding things the Astrals would like to be alerted about, leading to his nickname 'the Guiding Star'

Gemini can tell that he's Lunar but since he doesn't have any memory of being Lunar they can't do much about it and they don't want to bring it to the attention of the other Astrals because they fear they'd try to kill him again.

Lunar doesn't talk much, only speaking to Gemini and later his family in one word answers. He doesn't like the angrier Astrals, particularly Taurus for fairly obvious reasons. Its a toss up whether he'll respond to Lunar or Polaris on any given day but he'll respond to Gemini no matter what they call him. He, still being petty af, will not respond to the Astrals who were most vocal about wanting him dead.

He/it fun

he eventually gets his memory back, once he finds his family
