Proof that Gwyn X Azriel's interactions are far more than platonic and it's obvious

It’s baffling when people claim that all of Azriel and Gwyn’s interactions are strictly platonic—as if no romantic undertones or foreshadowing exist. But we do have a clear standard in the books for what platonic relationships actually look like, and a perfect example is Cassian and Emerie in A Court of Frost and Starlight (ACOFAS).

Let’s take a look at this excerpt of Cassian observing Emerie:

“Her dark hair was braided simply, offering a clear view of her tan skin and narrow, angular face. Not a face of beauty, but striking. Interesting. It reminded him of Nesta, that stare. Frank and unsettling.”

Even in this moment of observation, Cassian isn’t romantically intrigued by Emerie—he’s simply noting her features and drawing a personality parallel to Nesta.

He immediately shifts to thinking about Nesta. Emerie’s stare reminds him of Nesta’s I-Will-Slay-My-Enemies pose. Even the internal humor Cassian uses is tied to Nesta:

"I Will Eat Your Eyes for Breakfast to I Don’t Want Cassian to Know I’m Reading Smut. The latter was his particular favorite.”

That smile he suppresses? (Exactly like the unconscious smile Azriel erased induced Gwyn bright eyes and smile? Direct parallel) It’s not for Emerie—it’s for Nesta. He thinks of Nesta and smiles. This is what a platonic interaction looks like: mutual respect, recognition of strength, but no emotional depth or attraction.

Now compare this to Azriel and Gwyn.

Azriel is:Soothing her pain and lingering after she dismisses him.

Staying calm and settled in her presence—his entire demeanor changes.

Noticing and reacting to her emotionally and physically: his shadows calm around her, dance to her breath, and he erases a smile she causes—the exact parallel to Cassian suppressing a Nesta-induced smile.

Thinking about her even when she’s not there, replaying their interactions, and experiencing relief, ease, and curiosity because of her.

That’s not just friendly. That’s not just platonic.

It's an obvious romantically charged setup. Every Maas endgame couple—from Feysand to Nessian—has this layered build: mutual impact, soft gestures, subtle tension, and meaningful symbolism before any overt romance unfolds.

Azriel’s softness around Gwyn, her ability to surprise and disarm him, the fact that his shadows behave differently around her, and that he reacts emotionally to her presence—all of these are romantic foreshadowing.

People who dismiss Gwynriel as "just friends" often do so to protect their ship (usually Elriel), but they’re ignoring the very clear textual patterns Maas uses for romantic development.

When you actually compare Azriel and Gwyn’s dynamic to truly platonic pairings like Cassian and Emerie, the difference is stark. One is respectful and neutral. The other is charged, emotional, and meaningful.You don’t have to ship it.

But denying the buildup, the parallels, and the hints is not literary analysis—it’s willful bias and obtuseness. And it’s only a matter of time before the story continues to explore what’s already obvious to those who are paying attention.

Pisces rising and their angular houses ♓️🧘‍♀️

Friends it’s been so long since I got back to this series 😫 but here we are! Enjoy! Please like comment and reblog 🤍☕️

Pisces Rising ♓️- A lot of pisces risings I know feel misunderstood, misinterpreted, and have dealt with taking on others projections at a young age. They feel like an old soul, yet treated like they are naive by others. Pisces risings are meant to tap into unconditional love (exaltation is Venus) by working through conditions placed on them. Lots of pisces have the ability to tap deeply into the subconscious when ready to heal, their shadows are essentially their guiders. Pisces risings are multi dimensional and as they grow older realize their peace is important, not the opinions and projections of others. Its why lots of pisces are seen spending time alone to sit in their energy, they love their independence, and their presence. Its also a great way to set boundaries so they don’t suck in unwanted energy. Pisces have the ability to rejuvenate themselves after trauma and attract new beginnings whilst closing out cycles. They can shift to their new reality with ease 💅🏻 once they set their mind to it, nothing can stop them! They have unwavering faith in what they desire which is what makes them successful.

Gemini 4th house ♊️- Pisces risings could have a big family or a lot of siblings, as Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Not all of them have a lot of siblings however. With gemini here the mother could have been manipulating with her words, and cunning. She is intelligent but uses it for her personal gain. A lot of pisces risings childhood contain narratives and ego based stories from others, rumor and gossip. Its why pisces risings are misunderstood, because people don’t see beyond the projections they put out. Pisces risings have the ability to get closer to their emotional side by healing their tumultuous past. The stories Pisces tells themselves is important to make sure they aren’t continuing past cycles of sabotage. Pisces risings are intellectuals, and harbor a lot of knowledge from their childhood. Specifically wisdom about what they went through and experienced. They can easily overthink the past, and over analyze themselves, which is why it’s important to have a balance. Their emotional + logical side is meant to work together in this lifetime. The possible education was a high standard in their childhood, one parent could have pushed for the native to be experienced. Curiosity, intelligence, and knowledge are core parts of Pisces risings childhood. Their inner child is always wanting knowledge and is curious about how the world works, including people and the spiritual realm. Lots of pisces risings have journals because their minds can overthink, so they need a place to dump their thoughts.

Virgo 7th house ♍️- With virgo in the 7th house it’s important for Pisces to meet the side of them that grounds their manifestation into reality. Pisces has the ability to create and ground manifestations. Pisces can struggle with anxiety in relationships and can be detail oriented in who they want to be with (friends, partner, etc) They can be picky because they have high standards and it may not be something people understand. They may criticize the native for simply having desires and needs just as much as anyone else. Pisces loves channeling their knowledge into connections and partnerships, so to them their relationships are important. It’s important for them to choose people who are health conscious, set boundaries, and are intellectuals. Pisces may struggle to set boundaries and find common ground in relationships, but eventually Pisces learns they can be a dreamer whilst being a realist. Developing healthy boundaries and relationships is very important in this lifetime! A reminder that Pisces also needs room to flow, change, adapt in relationships and it doesn’t have to be rigid or practical all of the time!

Sagittarius 10th house ♐️- Its possible Pisces risings father could have higher education, or knowledge. He is well knowledgeable and shares it with family. Or wants a legacy and may put pressure onto Pisces rising to fulfill that. It’s possible the father also could have used his knowledge in an arrogant way, being self righteous. The father’s temperament could have been an issue. The father could have also been a teacher for Pisces, constantly trying to guide the native in the right direction, but due to the tense relationship between the two, it could always come across forcefully and unwanted. Pisces is meant to explore their options in this lifetime with career. Self entrepreneurship especially and incorporating their talents into their job. They may into a musical career, or art of some kind because channeling their feelings and thoughts into their artwork is a way for them to be understood. Pisces may also find themselves feeling assertive in a career they build on their own, they feel free. They love their freedom and alone time! Anything that channels their inner expression Pisces will love. Fashion, music, art work, content creation, etc. Pisces have the ability to manifest money and success, and attract new opportunities in their career/job! When Pisces taps into their desires & creativity that is when they are the most happiest. When they follow their intuition and heart and show to themselves they are loveable, is when Pisces taps into Venusian energy.

Thank you everyone ❤️ I hope this resonated for you Pisces out there and I always appreciate your feedback! Please like comment and reblog to share the love 🌹🤍

Regulus's eyes remained closed, his chest rising and falling rhythmically with each deep breath he took. The candlelight flickered across his face, casting shadows that danced upon the walls. His features grew softer, his body more delicate, as the curse began to take hold. His once spiky hair grew longer, cascading onto the pillow like a river of white silk. He twitched slightly in his sleep, unaware of the transformation occurring. His muscles, once honed from years of rigorous training, began to relax and reshape. His broad shoulders narrowed, and his waist grew more defined, hips gently curving. The fabric of his clothing relaxed and loosened, eventually becoming looser slightly to accommodate the new contours of his body. The room remained silent except for the faint rustle of material against skin as he shifted in his slumber, the softness of his new form starkly contrasting with the harsh reality of his situation. Regulus's hands, once calloused from the relentless grip on his sword, grew smaller and smoother. His nails, trimmed short for combat, began to elongate and soften. The ruggedness of his palms was replaced by a tender softness that was unfamiliar to him. His fingers, once strong and capable, curled into delicate arcs, a silent testament to his new identity.

As the night progressed, the transformation grew more profound. His jawline softened, his cheeks became fuller, and his eyelashes grew longer, framing the closed eyes beneath. The sharpness of his nose and the angular structure of his face gave way to a more rounded, gentle appearance. His body continued to morph, his shoulders now more sloped, and his neck more graceful. The transformation was not solely external. A newfound warmth grew within him, a sensation he had never felt before. It filled him from the inside out, like a warm embrace that grew stronger with each passing moment. His heart pounded in his chest, not from fear or anger, but from a strange mix of anticipation and acceptance.

His legs grew smoother, the muscles of his thighs and calves melting away to reveal a more feminine form. His hips widened, curving elegantly and pushing the fabric of his pants to the brink. His once-flat stomach developed a gentle swell, leading down to slender waist that seemed to defy the very essence of his former self. His shoulders softened and his arms grew thinner, the definition of his biceps and forearms fading away into a more graceful silhouette. As the soft mounds of flesh grew on his chest, a warm, tingling sensation spread across the newly formed skin. Two proud breasts blossomed beneath his clothing, pushing the fabric tight and forming a noticeable outline. The sensation grew stronger, and he found himself reaching up to touch them, his newfound sensitivity causing him to gasp quietly. His fingertips met with the unfamiliar softness, and he felt a rush of emotions that he had never experienced. It was as if a part of him was waking up, and he could not help but feel a strange sense of wonder.

Regulus's body grew more and more delicate, the harsh angles of his face rounding out into a soft beauty that could easily capture the hearts of men and demons alike. His nose, once a sharp blade, was now the gentle slope of a mountain at dawn, and his cheekbones, once high and prominent, were now the soft curves of a moonlit hill. His skin, once rough from the toils of battle and training, was now as smooth as the finest silk, unmarred by the harshness of the world outside. His eyes, which had been closed throughout the transformation, slowly began to open, revealing irises are now shimmering gold. His eyelids, now lined with the longest, darkest lashes, fluttered open to reveal a new world. He took in the sight of his new self, his breath hitching as he saw the reflection of a woman staring back at him. Her beauty was not just skin deep; it was a glow that emanated from within, a light that filled the room and seemed to brighten even the darkest corners of his soul.

There was magic simmering as a mysterious night when Hermes and Aphrodite's child stepped down from Olympus with a glimmering pink light. A pair of swan wings stretched out from his back as he slowly tip toed onto ground. Golden hair swayed before slowly laying across his slender shoulders. Pink full lips curved slightly when Aphroditos viewed his sun kissed body as it shifted from woman to man. For a moment he was gently touching his breasts while basking in pale moonlight. His body was now a blend of feminine and masculine as he slowly lifted his gaze to face a large castle. "So many unhappy brides..." Aphroditos smiled gently while studying the monument of Greed before moving his hand in a swaying motion. Golden hues glimmered in pink and red before fading away. "May you and your brides find happiness, archbishop of Greed." Circe shifted in bed while sensing someting strange in the air. As if someone was weaving a spell. Though she couldn't feel the pressence of a witch or a being that resembled Regulus in abilities. It took her a moment to finally grasp why it felt so familiar and yet foreign. "A God. But who?" It wasn't Hermes. Most of his abilities had to do with guiding souls or opening portals to different worlds. This spell had nothing to do with death. Instead she sensed something erotic behind it from a masculine and feminine energy. After turning around against she finally recognized what sort of sorcery was fluttering around. "A transformation spell..." Circe sat up while studying her own body. Fortunately enough she still had human limbs but it was still a great change to her appearance. A flat chest. toned muscles and a pretty large manhood. After staring down she used both hands to touch along squared features and a soft beard which covered most of her chin. Circe cursed loudly in Greek while getting dressed to find her annoying husband. This was probably the result of him pissing off one of the Olympian Gods. @fallesto

[kutner-elegist]

yooo i would love a cuddley fic involving Forced Bonding, like at a medical conference or a (mind) game set up by house or getting stuck in an elevator :3 if possible, post 5x05 because of the whole "cuddy almost drug-testing thirteen" thing, meaning thirteen is even more of a deer in headlights around cuddy than usual bc she knows she's on thin ice. i would love to see how cuddy handles someone who's so defiant but also skittish about authority ^^

I hope you like it :P

“You will receive a formal letter. I just wanted to let you know. I need to go now.”

“Thank you so—”

The monotone beep signaled the end of the call. No one hardly ever hung up like that on Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the dean of medicine at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. She was too elated to care. She was officially approved for adoption. She knew not to be too excited just yet. This only meant that her name was appended to the list of eligible parent hopefuls. When she would actually have a child to adopt was anyone’s guess. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but daydream. She pictured a baby with big eyes and chubby cheeks.

Her instinct, of course, was to make a plan, lists and all. It had already been developing in the back of her mind, despite her conscious resistance. Now that the prospect of motherhood was closer than ever, she finally allowed herself to put her pen on her legal pad. Car seat, crib, stroller, ….

“Dr. Cuddy?”

Her head jerked upward. Standing before her was Thirteen. Her angular face was more pallid than usual, making the redness around her eyes more conspicuous.

“I knocked, but …. If you’re busy, I can come back.”

“I’m not busy.” Cuddy pushed the legal pad aside and straightened her posture. “Can I help you?”

“House fired me anyway, so I just wanted to come by and apologize for earlier and thank you for everything else.”

“What? After that diatribe he gave me?”

“I guess he did that so he could fire me himself.” Thirteen’s voice cracked a little.

Cuddy’s eyes and lips had been startled wide open. Now they formed a faint but soft smile. “Why don’t you take a seat? We should discuss your severance benefits and other details of your departure.”

Thirteen sat down as she was told. She shifted in the chair, rubbing on the nightclub stamp with her thumb.

“You’ll receive two weeks’ pay, and you can keep your health insurance for four more weeks.”

“Thank you. That is more—”

“The hospital is under a security lockdown. All persons should stay where they are. Do not leave your position. The staff should await further instructions. The hospital is under a security lockdown. All persons should stay where they are. Do not leave your position. The staff should await further instructions.”

“What is going—” Cuddy was already reaching for the phone when it rang. The security team was calling.

“Dr. Cuddy, we have both code yellow and code gray. The police have been notified. Sorry for not calling you sooner. We had to respond to the situation first.”

David Ackerman, the chief of security, was an experienced, confident man. His calm tone eased Cuddy’s shock, but only a little. “What’s the situation?” she asked.

“A patient with a history of violence escaped the psychiatric wing after a physical altercation. The police told us to secure the premises and begin a search. We’re on it. I’ll call again if there’s any update. In the meantime, I suggest you lock your office.”

“Is that all? Is there anything I can do?”

“I’ll let you know if there is. Sit tight for now. I need to oversee the search.”

“Of course. Thank you, David.” She put down the receiver. She went and locked the door. She pulled the chair next to the one Thirteen was in to further secure the entrance for good measure. “There’s a … situation. It looks like we have to stay here for now,” she said as she returned to her seat.

Thirteen just nodded. The muffled noise from the other side of the door, the clinic patients asking why they can’t leave, the security personnel moving around, all only accentuated the uncomfortable silence inside the room. Cuddy stared at the phone, then she glanced over at Thirteen, and then back to the phone.

Cuddy tried not to panic because Thirteen was with her. If Thirteen was worried at all, she was hiding it very well. Even when the emergency announcement came on, she barely reacted other than stopping mid-sentence. She hasn’t even asked what was happening. Not that she could have told her now that she doesn’t work at the hospital anymore, but anyone else would have had questions.

Thirteen had always been an enigma. House never hired well-adjusted people, and well-adjusted people would never stay working for House, so anyone in his department was inevitably maladjusted, she knew that much. If anything, Thirteen caused the least problems until now.

She didn’t want Thirteen fired. She didn’t think House would fire Thirteen, either. She could have just told her to go home, but she made a point to bring in House and demand a drug test with the threat of suspension. She wasn’t cognizant of this before, but now she realized that she used Thirteen to reprimand House by proxy. That’s probably why House fired her. Now she felt a little guilty. It was always this way. She would play these games with House even though she would never beat House, and when she invariably lost, there were collateral damages she hadn’t even anticipated.

“Dr. Hadley,” Cuddy finally spoke. “I’m sure you’ve learned your lesson, so I can pretend this never happened if a prospective employer asks. You shouldn’t do drugs, but I also know that with any other boss, you could have just called in sick or taken a day off and nothing would have happened.”

“Thank you, and again, I’m sorry.” Thirteen smiled.

The phone rang again, and Cuddy snatched the receiver, thinking it was about the missing patient. “Hello?”

“Dr. Cuddy, this is Aaron White from DCF again. I know you just got approved and this is a little sudden, but there’s someone looking for an adoptive parent, and she’d like to meet with you.”

“Already? That is great!”

“Would you be available next Tuesday morning?”

“Yes, absolutely.”

“Wonderful. I will tell her and then get back to you.”

“Thank you so much.”

The social worker hung up on her again. Cuddy was overjoyed. She almost giggled putting down the receiver.

“Is the situation over?”

And Cuddy was pulled back into her current reality. “No, it’s something personal.”

“Oh, I see. It must be good news.”

“It is.” Cuddy almost left it at that, and Thirteen would have let her. Instead, she said, “I just got approved by the Department of Children and Families to be an adoptive parent.”

Thirteen’s smile got brighter. “Wow! Congratulations. You would be an amazing parent.”

“Thank you. I hope so.”

Thirteen was now the first person she told. Not her own mother or her sister. In fact, the thought of her mother finding out brought her dread. She didn’t tell her she applied, because she didn’t want her harsh judgement, especially if she was rejected. Now anxiety clouded over her joy.

“I’m also nervous,” she confessed.

“I think every parent is.”

“But it’s different. I’m single, I work a lot, I don’t even know what a good mother is supposed to be like.”

“You’ll figure it out, and the lucky kid will have a brilliant role model.”

Thirteen’s smile made her chest tighten. Not in a stressful way. It felt like a firm hug around her heart. “That means a lot.” She met Thirteen’s piercing eyes, and her gaze communicated so much more than anything words ever could. She didn’t quite comprehend it in a way she could explain, but she experienced the exchange. The conflicted existence of a wounded daughter. Cuddy considered whether she should ask, and if so, how.

“Code clear. Code clear.” The echoes of the PA system resounded over their heads.

The security department called again. “The patient has been located. He is unharmed, and so is everyone else. He is being transported back to his ward,” Ackerman reported over the phone.

“Thank you for your great work.”

“Just doing my job, ma’am.”

Cuddy took away the chair blocking the entrance and unlocked the door. Thirteen got up, ready to make her exit.

“I wish you the best, Dr. Hadley.”

“I wish you the best, Dr. Cuddy. And for little Cuddy, too.”

They exchanged smiles. Thirteen took off, and Cuddy stayed in the doorway. When Thirteen turned a corner, she leaned to her side so she could keep looking. When Thirteen disappeared from her sight, Cuddy headed to the elevator. Serendipitously, House emerged from behind the steel doors.

“You will ask Thirteen to come back,” she demanded, blocking the way out of the elevator with her arm.

“I will. Not now, though. Later.”

She looked up in disbelief. That was way too easy.

“What, you thought I was actually going to fire her?”

“She thought she was actually fired.”

“I lie a lot.” House pushed away her arm with his cane and left.

Cuddy let out an exasperated sigh. She got in the elevator so she could go speak to the head psychiatrist.

July 2024 Important Dates

AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's July Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We're going into this month right off of Saturn stationing retrograde on June 29th, and Neptune following suit on July 2nd.

June Recap: June was heavily influenced by the activity in Gemini, including a Venus cazimi and a stellium with other fast planets. The second half of the month felt heavy influence from Saturn finally getting within conjunction distance (10 degrees) of Neptune in Pisces. Right after the Venus cazimi on June 3rd, Claudia Sheinbaum was elected president of Mexico. Aside from Venus's association with women, the indigenous astrology of Mexico is also based on Venus cazimi cycles. Another Venus story is the launch of the Boeing Starliner--last month our hosts looked at the electional chart for its planned launch and noted that Mercury conjunct Uranus boded ill--and indeed an electrical problem caused them to postpone the launch until June 5th, when the Moon was in Gemini (with 4 other planets). However, with a Leo rising its chart ruler the Sun was separating from Venus and approaching a square with Saturn, and indeed there have been delays with bringing the astronauts back.

On the day of the Mars-Pluto square Hunter Biden was convicted on gun charges. A similar Mars transit showed up in politics with Donald Trump's conviction in May: Trump was convicted with Mars squaring his natal Saturn (ruler of the year for him), in the 9th and 12th houses respectively, fitting for a trial (9th house) over keeping secrets (12th house). There was also a Mercury-Uranus conjunction on his Midheaven (sudden development in public life), and on the July 11th, the day of his sentencing, the Mars-Uranus conjunction will be on his Midheaven. In Hunter Biden's case, Mars conjoined his natal Saturn, when he was convicted of illegally buying guns while under the influence. Saturn was also transiting his Midheaven, and with the North Node there natally it can indicate ill or shadowy reputation (A/N: in Pisces it also fits that he's known for his excessive drug use).

The second half of the month was dominated by a Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. A new AI video generator was released and saw an explosion of use, including animating still images. It's becoming increasingly difficult to determine what's real and what's an illusion--though in June with many planets in Gemini, we saw a lot of play with this technology.

The final news story this month is the US presidential debate, which occurred within 24 hours of Saturn stationing retrograde in Pisces--a debate between the two oldest presidential candidates in US history. Biden did horribly during the debate, and Saturn's subsequent station occurred right on Biden's Imum Coeli; during the debate the Moon was conjunct Saturn as both approached this point. At the same time, Uranus was transiting Trump's Midheaven while sextiling his natal Venus (ruler of his 10th house), and he did unexpectedly well in this debate for someone who doesn't care about telling the truth in public speaking. With Saturn generally, this debate has risen pressing questions around age and fitness for public office. Speaking of debate timings, Ronald Reagan's astrologer Joan Quigley would schedule debates for times that were good for Reagan and bad for Carter...and indeed this debate is scheduled unusually--it's much earlier than usual. The next debate is scheduled for the Pisces eclipse in September, in Biden's 4th house/Kamala's 10th house (A/N: Trump's 8th; not angular). Back in the year ahead forecast, Chris said there were three big factors in favor of Trump and one in Biden's favor: that eclipse in an angular house. However, the 4th house is also associated with endings (due to being located underground), and considering recent events, could bode ill for the aged president. (A/N: there's also speculation that Biden was experiencing a dementia symptom known as "sundowning" during the debate, and the 4th house is located deepest beneath the earth)

July Forecast:

The main energies this month will be Saturn-Neptune in Pisces as both planets station early in the month, Mars conjoining Uranus, the Capricorn Full Moon in the 21st, and Mercury-Mars tensions as they almost reach a square.

July 2nd - Neptune Retrograde, Mercury enters Leo Neptune-Saturn confusion has been present for us for a week or so already. We're having a difficult time predicting what events mean for the future. Other significations are the line between illusions and reality, idealism vs. limitations, disillusionment or disappointment when dreams collapse, confusion, fatigue or sapping of one's emotional energy, lack of mental acuity, side effects of age leaving to lack of clarity or focus. Whatever age you're at, you may feel the physical effects catching up to you as the conjunction approaches. Austin brings up that superhero movies have just about run their course (Iron Man was released in 2011 as Neptune first entered the sign), and now we're collectively tired of imagining this genre as Neptune gets within 4 minutes of the next sign. Saturn nearby adds an extra level of negation. With AI tools, boundaries are dissolved and new methods for creativity are being introduced as we gear up for Neptune/Saturn in Aries--expect to see new genres. Other Saturn-Neptune keywords include escapism, addiction, sensitivity and compassion. Chris also notes seeing tensions between science and religion or skepticism and belief: large numbers of people, including conservative influencers, are converting to Christianity at the same time as scientific skepticism rises--and astrologers may find ourselves on the negative end of both. Anyone with significant placements at 27-29 Pisces or other mutable signs should pay attention. A Neptune-Mercury trine softens communications; it's a good time for heartfelt conversations.

As soon as Mercury enters Leo it puts him in opposition distance to Pluto, foreshadowing the rest of the inner planets doing so later this month. Paranoia, power plays, and manipulation abound, though investigative journalism and hidden truths can come to light. However, Mercury moves closely into a happy sextile with Jupiter soon after.

July 2nd - Selected Elections for the month (not pictured) This month Chris has two elections, both on the 2nd, to try and take advantage of the Jupiter-Moon conjunction before Mars and Uranus start to complicate things.

The first chart is at about 1:00PM local time so that the Ascendant trines Jupiter in the 9th house, the Moon is applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, and the Ascendant ruler Venus in Cancer is in the 10th house, forming a trine with Saturn. The flowing, nurturing energy in Cancer and Pisces is highlighted in this chart (see New Moon for more). The downside is that you bake the Mercury-Pluto opposition into things, so beware of paranoia in communications.

The other variant of this chart is later in the day with Sagittarius rising:

At about 5:30PM local time, this gives you Jupiter in the whole sign 7th house in a day chart with the Moon still applying to a conjunction. This one is oriented more towards other people. These are much different than the electional charts earlier this year where he encouraged us to take advantage of the stellia; now we're entering more challenging territory.

July 5th - New Moon in Cancer

Both luminaries (14♋) apply to a trine with Saturn (19♓) soon after, while Venus (22♋) is within a loose conjunction of them in Cancer. Meanwhile, Mercury (5♌) sextiles Jupiter (9♊) in Gemini with reception (Jupiter is in Mercury's sign). Saturn's trine is constructive, helping us figure out how to work within our limitations and distribute our burdens more evenly. With Venus and Cancer there brings a connotation of caring for and nurturing something that can't survive without you like a child, pet, or house plant. And with care, duty is not far behind. Think sweet and compassionate. Mercury sextile Jupiter on the 8th will continue some of these good vibes for us.

July 11th - Venus enters Leo Venus is getting further from the Sun and begins to rise more and more visibly as the month progresses. When she's fully out from under the beams, we can finally see the results of work that was hidden while she was close to the Sun. We'll also see a return of themes from the Venus retrograde in Leo last year, but it's different for two reasons: 1) Venus is traveling direct and very fast through the sign, and 2) Pluto in Aquarius opposes her immediately upon ingress on the 11th-12th. Venus in Leo's fun-in-the-sun vibe is marred by shadow for the first few days. Significations include interpersonal paranoia, power plays in relationships and (my addition:) issues of control regarding women. In happier news she (12♌) will sextile Jupiter (12♊) on the 21st right in time for the next lunation, at the same degree where she stationed last year. Jupiter will assuage harsh Pluto aspects for planets transiting Leo this month.

July 15th - Mars conjunct Uranus This occurs on the 14th-15th at 26 Taurus, tightly conjunct the fixed star Algol. Mars-Uranus is already quite volatile, with Mars going fast and Uranus shocking or igniting it. Think accidents (warehouse explosions, for example), interpersonally "exploding," and in wolrd affairs violence such as wars. The US dropped atomic bombs on Japan under Mars-Uranus, and has the signature in its natal chart. This already volatile configuration is conjunct malefic star Algol, known as the head of Medusa, in Chinese astrology as the entrance to the Mansion of Corpses, and in Arabic as Ra's al-Ghul ("head of the monster"), from which we get the word "ghoul." Historically Algol coincides with terrible events, for example the bombing of Guérnica. Austin predicts that most personal lives will be unaffected, but that something atrocious will happen in one of the active conflicts going on right now (though hopes he's wrong about it). Algol also figures strongly into the British royal family, the chart of the European Union, and the modern state of Israel. The Republican National Convention will also begin under this inauspicious alignment. July 16th sees the Moon lighting up all this activity, so it's an inadvisable time to start new ventures.

More generally, Mars-Uranus brings sudden upheavals, rebelliousness, challenging the status quo, impulsiveness, unpredictable behavior & acting on whims, and a strong drive for freedom and independence--for example, the January 6 capital debacle happened right as Mars entered Taurus and began approaching conjunction to Uranus. On the positive side, this can indicate starting new adventures and innovative ideas. Mars and Uranus are both antisocial, so it's advisable to strike out on your own, even just for a few days, instead of trying to get everyone else on board or fighting over different directions. Fierce individualism abounds, though Mars-Uranus can also be quirky and spontaneous--Robin Williams had this aspect in Cancer. Thankfully, Mars leaves Taurus about a week later, leaving Algol's intensity behind.

July 20th - Mars enters Gemini In a new sign, Mars is headed for a conjunction with Jupiter in mid-August, though he'll square Saturn almost immediately after. Funnily enough, that's when the Democratic National Convention takes place--which we already know is going to be a mess. Austin points out the Jupiter-Mars conjunction will be at 16 Gemini, the same degree that Venus conjoined the Sun in June, connecting those events. Mars-Jupiter can be heroic and overcoming...but that requires something to heroically overcome. The lunation really kicks things off:

July 21st - Full Moon in Capricorn

A lot of different aspects are happening at once here. The Moon and Sun oppose each other at 29 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer respectively, with the Moon immediately moving towards a sextile with Neptune (29♓), and then conjoining Pluto (0♒) upon her egress from Capricorn. We'll see an immediate shift in tone with news stories foreshadowing the next month of Mars in Gemini. Mars is, by degree, in exact contra-antiscia to the Moon here. Meanwhile, Venus (12♌) sextiles Jupiter (12♊), so positive things are happening at the same time as this tense lunation. However, Merucry (26♌) squares Uranus (26♉), bringing tensions in communication. This will be one of the more memorable days of the month--ongoing negative developments will rear their heads, some nice things will happen, some unexpected things will happen, and the next day the Sun enters Leo, opposing Pluto in Aquarius.

July 22nd - Sun enters Leo Leo season starts off with the Sun opposing Pluto. For the next 20 years, every time the Sun enters Leo, it will oppose Pluto. The Pluto in Leo generation (mid-40s to 1959; Baby Boomers) will feel Pluto's opposition especially strongly, and the dozens of countries created right after WW2 have Saturn conjunct Pluto in Leo in their charts. We'll see what survives this 20 years and what fades away into history as Pluto opposes all that was built when it was 180 degrees away. Chris brings up that generationally Pluto in Leos may be resisting handing off the reins or trying to seize power back when they're past their prime. Austin brings up the accelaration of celebrity culture as a great distraction from those who are actually powerful during Pluto in Leo....maybe we'll get sick of it over the following decades. In other fixed signs, transiting Pluto now squares natal Pluto for Millennials (Pluto in Sagittarius), who are now having to wrestle with beginning to really age in their 40s.

July 25th - Mercury enters Virgo Communications become more direct and quick with Mars in Mercury's sign, but Mercury is going to retrograde close to a square with Mars at the end of the month, so we may expect some miscommunications, misunderstandings, and sharp words. Swift, smart, clever, and cool. Things may get argumentative and contentious.

By the end of the month, retrograde Saturn (18♓Rx) is moving into square distance from Jupiter (14♊), who will in turn square Neptune later--a signature that brought inflation recently. Saturn is trying to rein in Jupiter, who expands Neptune's dissolution of boundaries. Mars in Gemini further aggravates things. July leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger.

"Rockwell concept for an air-launched spaceplane produced as part of the Advanced Military Spaceflight Capability study."

"In December 1980, Don Hart of the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base wrote a memo describing a proposed Air Force Space Sortie Vehicle that would be launched from the back of a 747. Ehrlich says that he knew Hart at the time, and that it is possible that Hart got the idea of the Space Sortie Vehicle concept from some work that Rockwell was then engaged in. “I’m not sure which came first, Don’s or ours, or they may even have been shared concepts,” Ehrlich remembers. He said that around 1978 or ’79 the Air Force was interested in a concept that they then called 'On-Demand Launch.' Rockwell learned of the Air Force interest and began working on several concepts. In 1979, the Air Force initiated an Advanced Military Spaceflight Capability Technology Identification Study (known as AMSC) and Rockwell was ready for it. The AMSC study actually preceded and ran concurrently with the Air Force Space Sortie Vehicle outlined in Hart’s December 1980 memo.

Ehrlich had taken his lifting body knowledge with him to Rockwell. The FDL-5A shape seen pulled out of the C-5 in the artist impression is the more angular version, with the single tail. But when Rockwell started working on the AMSC, they considered a spacecraft with drop tanks and mounted above a 747. The shape they used in that study was the more rounded version, with winglets. 'Different mission, different shape, but retaining the critical aerodynamic features which were key,' Ehrlich explained. The craft could be wider because it did not have to fit inside an aircraft. The Rockwell craft also had three rocket engines in its tail.

The Rockwell approach was to use the V-shaped drop tank only for hydrogen. The spacecraft itself would carry both oxygen and a little bit of hydrogen for the final push into orbit. This simplified the tank design, and since the tank was the expendable part of the spacecraft that reduced cost.

But Rockwell ran into the same limitations experienced by other companies that looked into the Sortie Vehicle Concept. Such a craft could only carry a relatively small payload. But it also required drop tanks, and that increased the expense. The Air Force wanted a cheaper vehicle and the only way to achieve that would be to develop one that was fully reusable."

Date: late 1970s/early 1980s

♊ Other ways in which you might be feeling Jupiter in gemini ♊

Part 1 - Earth rising signs ♉ ♑ ♍

Initially, you might be feeling the shift not because of a blessing in your gemini house, but due to stagnation, stabilization, implementation after maturity, less eventful occurrences of themes in the taurus house. Jupiter in gemini will no longer directly affect your taurus house, capricorn house, and cancer house.

♉ ♑ For those who have relevant taurus and capricorn placements (you have these signs in angular houses, and/or have planets especially personal planets in these signs) you might be feeling a lack of action or sudden maturity regarding the themes of your capricorn and taurus house, and the themes of the planets you have there.

The following might change depending on the structure of your birth chart and other transits you are experiencing.

Read the following for your rising sign, but add extra intensity if you also have relevant taurus and capricorn placements.

Earth rising signs

♉ For the taurus rising, you may be experiencing a more solid ground about who you are, a shift from pleasure, religion, enjoyment, a glow up, into more focused on your material life. You may experience life becoming more mundane or boring. You may start to implement your new religious beliefs, deepen your knowledge of foreign languages. On top of that, cancer planets and topics regarding communication and short trips should also become more stable and less eventful. Regarding your virgo placements and your 5th house, you might feel an urge to implement more leisure in your life and you'll want to dedicate yourself to it, however a compromise may be needed into how much time you devote to work and how much for pleasure.

�� For the capricorn rising, you may be experiencing less get together with friends, less time reading for pleasure, less activities related to fun and to getting to know yourself and your personality, less superficial relationships, less time on dating apps and less focus on looking for a parter for life or for fun, less time for arts and crafts or a more mature implementation pf those themes. Instead of having fun with the exploration you will enjoy the implementation and stability of these themes that you developed in the past year. If you were an amateur actor or a freelance artist, you might be going pro, if you found a new significant other you might become more stable and focus on growing a new routine together. 9th house topics and your virgo planets will be put into action, so you may travel, focus on publishing or reading books, meeting foreign people, having milestones in education. On top of that, cancer planets and themes related to partnerships and 7th house may also be less emphasized.

♍ For the virgo rising, you may start to focus on your identity and how you act and present in the world, based on solid or recently developed religious beliefs, you may go abroad and graduate or start a new course of languages or higher education if you have applied or planned them this previous year. Your 9th house and 5th house topics should mature and it'll be less fun and games and more inti showing the world who you really are and what you do best. Your cancer planets and 11th house topics can suffer from the shift and you might be on a more individualistic streak as opposed to joining groups or friends, but that can be easily mitigated by many possible planets so take this with a grain of salt. You may also be more focused on daily tasks and use less time for leisure and creativity, less hooking ups and less time on dating apps, but I believe it's a good time for the extra push in your studies and career with a more solid view of who you are and what you aspire in life. Your virgo placements will be felt more intensely as well.

made my personal portfolio using angular and tailwind css <3 (still too busy to finish it though)

FEBRUARY 🥭

started an internship!!

got a free datacamp scholarship

learned qa automation using selenium

learned mochajs

learned sharepoint web development

learned node.js

developed a customer training registration system from scratch using node.js, sharepoint online, and bootstrap in two weeks!

now i'm confused about what i really want to pursue as a career because i've been jumping from project to project, and language to language. i still enjoy ui/ux design and front-end development, but i also like back-end now! full-stack is really overwhelming and stressful but satisfying. i'm interested in automated testing too. i also like managing projects. so idk what i want right now but so far i've liked learning and experiencing everything!! aaaaaaaaaa

I came across this bizarre, beautiful sight today. My friend was showing me various winged lights and spirits when we came across this area filled with ominous red plants. After getting rid of these plants, I found a gem that brought me here.

I've found places like this before filled with animals frozen in time, and it is incredibly fascinating every time. Searching among the tops of the frozen manta rays for the winged light was really fun.

I also found a new hairstyle, and changed Amber's hairstyle again! It's very simular to her previous haircut, but I felt like the more angular haircut makes her look more confident than before. At this point in Amber's journey, I believe she would become more confident as she gets used to how the world around her works. She has met many different people and has experienced Eden several times, so I believe she would become more brave as time goes on. I hope as I continue playing, I can find more clothing and accessories to add to her new look, and develop her character more.

Taurus rising and their angular houses 💘💌

Angular houses are the most important in an astrological chart. It represents our fundamental core selves, the parts in which we work with consistently in life, and what we value the most. Angular houses show huge change and how it plays a role in our life 💌 often deals with external change impacting us and our growth!

Taurus rising ♉️- Taurus rising, ruled by venus and the luxuries 💘🤗 not always is this native born under luxury however. Depending on where Venus is, and if it’s afflicted, or if this house is afflicted it can produce different results in the natives life. Most taurus risings understand their life did not come to them easily. In this lifetime, apart of them knew they wanted to live comfortably, and securely, and create that security for others. They may not have realized it as they were younger, but the more they grow up, the more they understand the lifestyle they want. Most taurus risings know they want luxury and work hard for it, and others know they want a simple life, and still want to generate enough security to thrive. Even if they do not show it physically, through dressing up and buying a huge house, Taurus risings do understand the simplicity of life and want that. A lot of taurus risings are generous, kind, patient, and value security. And they value connections that grow securely, and strong foundations. Their mission is to grow stable from a turbulent childhood, and to generate that inner safety that will carry them far into their lifetime 💗❤️‍🩹When I say lifestyle I don’t necessarily mean materialistic gains. I mean they want to live at peace, comfortable, and have so much security they do not have to worry about lack anymore. Most Taurus’s I know have experienced lack and struggle, poverty even. They want to grow beyond that and have the security they are looking for. Caring for their body, health and focusing on building their financials is important in this lifetime. Alongside their inner child 🤗💘

Leo fourth house ♌️- Taurus rising grew up around a prideful, happy and boisterous family. If the taurus rising grew up financially secure, family loved to buy each other gifts and spend on one another as a way of love. (Taurus rising developed gift giving regardless of their financial status) But their family has a huge part in why they develop their finances. Leo ruled by the sun, the Father could have been a teacher for the taurus rising. The Father was the leading point in the taurus risings life, and could have been a proud one, a purposeful and meaningful father and strong. Independent, confident, and assured. The downside, the Father could have been arrogant, self centered, self loathed and expected the taurus rising child to constantly be there for him ❤️‍🩹 the Father needed attention from the child instead of the Father giving attention to the child. The taurus rising native as a child was warm, loving, generous, and the type to still find little gifts for everyone and share it. The show stopper, and had a lot of attention on them, whether that was through a supportive family dynamic or not. If it was not supportive, as the taurus rising child grew up, too many people gossiped, and tried to one up, or selfishly wanted their attention. If it was supportive, the taurus rising found themselves being loved, cared for, and people celebrated them and their milestones 💘🤗 the mother could have been emotionally affectionate, nurturing and been a solid friend to the taurus rising child. If not, the mother was bossy, self centered, and focused on getting the limelight as opposed to her child. The native probably witnessed family arguments often, and the parents encouraged the idea of “competition” in the family. So the taurus rising child could have been encouraged to do better than their siblings, cousins, etc.

Scorpio ruled 7th house, descendant♏️- The taurus rising native experienced a lot of loss, greif, and transformation in relationships and connections. Jealousy, insecurity from others tried to get in the way of taurus risings relationships. The native self sabotaged in return, thinking it was their fault the people around them could not show up ❤️‍🩹 as they grow older, they realize transformation is vital to a peaceful life. Not necessarily traumatizing all of the time, but change does not need to be the end. Releasing is the key to freedom. Liberation is the start to self forgiveness and peace. Through others, the taurus rising finds themselves. Through others, the taurus rising does shadow work with, and each of their relationships have never been the same. Each have their own story, and path. The taurus rising tries to put up walls with others to stay safe, because too many people have come in and tried to project unfairly. And have done unjust things to the taurus rising native. Time and time again, the native transforms in love, opening up and closing off. At some point, the taurus rising native wants someone to grow with, but also transform too. To stay comfortable, yet do the inner work to heal ❤️‍🩹🤝 to have a partner that stays regardless of fear and doubt, and does their work too. Very loyal and determined lovers, and they go all of the way if they are healed 🙌💘 when they know they are capable, they will pursue. These natives may not have a lot of people in their life, because they later realize the value of privacy, and how moving in silence is the way to go. After their Leo ruled 4th house, they transition to a period of intense transformation, inner work, and liberation to find their truth of how they want to move forward in life. Privacy, sanctuary, and alone time is necessary 🙌

Aquarius ruled 10th house ♒️- After a period of isolation and many cycles of loss, trial and tribulations, their idea of who they want to be in their career path is not exactly set in stone, but they know how they want to move. Undefined, yet unique and knowledgeable in what they know, and intelligent. Taurus risings have a hold on the masses because they are authentically themselves, people see them as either nonchalant, aloof, or monotone. But Taurus risings have seen it all for themselves, and know thats not the only truth there is to them. And neither is it the entirety. They may pursue business solo, open their own shop, and find it easier to set their own rules. They want to be their own leader and boss, and don’t mind trying something new 💘🤗 it may take them many tries to figure out what career path they want, but they allow the experience to unfold. Many people see them as “unmatched” and may try to compete, but taurus risings know all to well where competition leads, and want nothing to do with it. They continue to move forward and stay in their lane. They may go on to pursue a career path no one in their family has done, and receive criticism for it, but once a taurus rising knows their truth it cant be shaken 💅🏻 they are not necessarily rebellious in career, but have an informed perspective, and speak their truth which is not the same as being rebellious! They prefer to keep their career private, money private. Sometimes in career they will be put in situations where they receive the limelight and they feel boxed in due to their past, but when they move forward they can learn to accept it and understand there are people who want to support them too. Career paths: web developer, social worker, scientist, entrepreneur, human rights activist.

Thank yall for reading! 💘🤗 much love for my taurus risings. After this I feel like i understand them better 🥹❤️‍🩹 i hope this resonated! Feel free to comment like and reblog 🤍

Victory Galactic Post Mortem

I'm quite proud of the final version of the game our team put together. However this version of the game is still not without flaw. Playtesting revealed that one of the largest issues our game had was learnability. As Fullerton writes in Game Design Workshop Page 80 "Rules need to be clear to players or in the case of digital games that adjudicate for players, they need to be intuitively grasped so that the game seems fair and responsive in given situations" I feel that a great number of our games core issues could have been fixed if we had stuck closer to this advice. While the basic movement was picked up fairly quickly by play testers some of the more idiosyncratic mechanics such as the launcher, foam and gravity wells were more difficult to communicate. If development where to continue one of the most urgent problems to fix would be the tutorial level. Our design ethos towards this level was to simply let the players interact with the mechanics and figure them out on their own. It may have been better to have explained the mechanics to the player in greater detail in the tutorial level.

Another of our more glaring issues would be the time thresholds required to unlock the skin rewards. As the time thresholds were chosen based on our own highly experienced playthrough of the game play testers were often not able to complete the levels fast enough to unlock the skins. This may have been exacerbated by the tutorial issues but overall it would be best if the time thresholds matched a beginners skill level. Additionally it may have been better to communicate that the player needed to complete the levels hastily in order to unlock the rewards as there was no explicit statement that this was the objective of the secondary gameplay loop. While I am happy with the majority of the visual design I feel that certain UI components and sprites could have benefitted from a redesign. I tried to keep everything to a certain visual style to emphasize the games elements as part of a cohesive whole however there where certain components that were kept as placeholders due to time constraints. Additionally some of the more abstract science-fiction concepts that were decided on as mechanics were quite difficult to create intuitive visual designs for. The mechanics that were the most difficult to communicate just through visuals were the Elastic Foam and the launcher.

The foam relied on soft curves in an attempt to indicate that it was not a hazard. However this did not seem to translate during testing. If production were to continue it may be beneficial to alter the design to something more identify able such as some springs, or perhaps animate and apply sound design that made it seem non-threatening. The launcher also had some difficulties not being read as a hazard. Perhaps due to its pointed and angular design. Other play testers believed that the launcher only fired in the direction it was pointing. In the future it may be beneficial to adopt a less abstract design. Overall I am still pleased with the efforts of my team and what we have spent the last several weeks creating together.

woah! just saw your bio change to software engineer. how did you transition? is it any different than web dev?

i also went on a TikTok rabbit hole and people are saying it’s useless to learn html/css and it’s not an actual language. honestly idk why I thought it would be easy to learn html > css > javascript > angular > react and somehow land a good paying job…

it’s gonna take YEARS for me to have a career, i feel old… especially with no degree

Hiya! 🩶

This is a long reply so I answered your question in sections below! But in the end, I hope this helps you! 🙆🏾‍♀️

🔮 "How did you transition?"

So, yeah my old job title was "Junior Web Developer" at a finance firm, and now my new title is "Frontend Software Engineer"! In terms of transition, I didn't make too much of a change.

After I quit my old job, I focused more on Frontend technologies that were relevant, so I focused on React.js and Node.js. I used YouTube, books, and Codeacademy. My first React project was >> this Froggie project <<~! Working on real-life projects such as the volunteering job I did (only for a month) where they used the technologies I was learning. So basically I did this:

decides to learn react and node 🤷🏾‍♀️

"oh wait let me find some volunteering job for developers where they use the tech I am learning so I can gain some real-life experience 🤔"

experienced developers in the team helped me with other technologies such as UI tools, and some testing experience 🙆🏾‍♀️

I did the volunteering work for both fun and learning with experienced developers and... I was bored and wanted to feel productive again... 😅

So for transitioning, I focused on learning the new technologies I wanted to work in and got some work experience (though it was volunteering) to back up if I can work in an environment with the tech. I still live with my family so I could do the volunteering job and have time to self-study whilst being okay financially (though I was tight with money haha) 😅👍🏾

🔮 "Is it any different than web dev?"

The old job was focused on using C# and SQL (including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but fairly small) to make the websites, they were fairly basic websites for clients to use just to navigate their information needed. They weren't fancy cool web design because they didn't need to be, which was what made me bored of the job and wanted a change.

I am only a week into the job and have been working on small tickets (features for the site), but I think after a month or two into the job I will make a proper judgment on the difference~! So far, it's kind of the same thing I did in my old job but with new workflow tools, React-based projects, and funny people to work with 😅🙌🏾

🔮 "People are saying it’s useless to learn HTML/CSS and it’s not an actual language."

Yes HTML is a markup language and CSS is a stylesheet but they are the foundation of like 90% of the websites on the internet, I wouldn't ever call them "useless". Frameworks such as React, Django, Flask, etc still require HTML and CSS code to make the website's structure and styling. CSS frameworks like Tailwind and Bootstrap 5 still use CSS as their base/foundation. Not useless at all.

Don't focus on what other people are doing and focus on your own learning. I repeat this all the time on my blog. Just because one or a couple people online said one technology is useless doesn't mean it is (this is applied to most things in tech). Someone told me jQuery was entirely useless and no bother learning it - I did it anyway and it helped me better understand JavaScript. Anyhoo, try things YOURSELF before listening to what people say - make your own judgment. Not going to let a random Tech bro online whine about how annoying Python or C or whatever is to ruin my want to learn something. (This is all coming from a girl who loves web development very much's point of view :D)

🔮 "I thought it would be easy to learn html > css > javascript > angular > react and somehow land a good paying job"

Web Dev route, I love it! That's literally the same steps I would have taken if I had to start again~! For each new tech you learn, make a bunch of projects to 1) prove to yourself that you can apply what you've learned 2) experience 3) fill that portfolio~! 😎🙌🏾

With Angular and React, I would pick one or the other and focus on being really good at it before learning another framework!

I also recommend volunteering jobs, freelancing, helping a small business out with free/paid m

Lastly, you do not need a degree to get a job in Web Development. I mean look at me? My apprenticeship certificate is the same value as finishing school at 18, so in the UK it would be A-Levels, and I completed it at the ripe age of 21! I have no degree, I applied for university and got a place but I will give that space up for someone else, I'm not ready for university just yet! haha... (plus erm it's expensive at the end, what? even for the UK...). Sure, I used to avoid the job postings that were like "You need a computer science degree" but now if I were job searching I would apply regardless.

People switching careers in their 40s going into tech instead are making it, you can switch anytime in your lifetime if you have the means to! (everyone's situation is different I understand).

I'm not too good at giving advice but I hope in the rambling I made some sense? But yeah that's all! 😎

Hi there! This is a sideblog to help gauge interest and facilitate discussion about a potential upcoming Pokémon-themed clicker game.

I am the mod of this blog and have experience with software engineering, so I will be working on development. I have lots of ideas for unique features that I would love feedback on! I’m more of a developer than an ideas person, and I believe collaboration will make a better game!

For anyone interested in collaborating, I am looking for the following (crossed out text means we’ve found someone/people to fill that role!):

Kind, friendly, and social people with experience in communicating professionally with others.

Pixelart artists experienced with Pokémon pixelart and background art.

Creative, highly organized problem-solvers interested in turning user feedback and ideas into outlines for features and requirements. Professional writing ability is a must!

Anyone who doesn’t mind tedious data entry and can work through such work efficiently enough to provide a workable amount of data for me to test different areas with!

People experienced with software and web development. You must have experience with the following languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, and C# (or something similar). These are the languages I plan to use. I would also prefer anyone familiar with the Angular framework!

I am interested in these kinds of people to become staff or helpers for this site! Before messaging me and letting me know you’re interested, please be aware of the following requirements for staff members:

You must be at least 21 years old. Age is not always an indication of maturity, but I think it can help eliminate some of those issues early on, and I’d like to have a team of people who are all approximately adults.

You must be kind, accepting, and open-minded. This site will not tolerate hate speech, bullying, and any behavior deemed predatory. Similarly, I will not tolerate any of this behavior from staff.

Excellent communication skills are important! You at least must be able to communicate your availability and ability to do something—I want to build a team that’s comfortable with each other, but also professional enough with each other, to let others know when they can’t do something, need help, or will be unavailable.

You must be trustworthy and responsible!

Finally (and this is a tall order, I know), if you are willing to volunteer your time and talent for free in the beginning to get us started, that would be very much appreciated! I would like for us to eventually be in a place where the time that developers and artists put in is compensated monetarily, but at this time I cannot say how soon that will happen—it all depends on how this all kicks off and the amount of interest we get from the community.

For anyone concerned about the potential of pay-to-play being a thing in this site: Don’t worry! It is a primary concern of mine to keep this site as free-to-play as possible! However, costs like servers exist, so some arrangement will have to be made. I don’t really believe in subscription models, so I hope to build a generous community that are interested in donating even just a little to help fund release cycles that would include new Pokémon and site features. Smaller features and bugfixes would always occur regularly regardless of the status of any funding goals.
