#fixed big three

[elysiansparadise]

What are your thoughts on someone with totally fixed big three for e.g. Leo rising with Taurus sun and Scorpio moon but with massive mutable stellium let's say gemini stellium in the 11th house. Would such person be rather chaotic or rather organised but with chaotic bunch of plans and ideas?

When I think of fixed mode, I don't directly associate it with order, but rather with stability and firmness. I find the fixed-mutable mix fascinating.

I feel this person is more adaptable than the stereotype of their big three. They may be someone who, while very firm in their ideas, knows that things change over time and may be more open to seeing things from a different perspective. This person may be stable, but knows when to let go and when to walk away from things to find something more comfortable (especially if the situation or person they are with doesn't bring them peace).

Loyalty is a trait that stands out when we talk about fixed modality. Now, if we add the mutable energy, especially in the 11th house, I feel this person can be very loyal and steadfast if the place or person they're with allows them to develop freely, and above all, accepts them and adapts with them when they decide to make important changes. They like flexibility in their groups, lightness, and not being involved in drama; and once they find that, they'll be there for that group.

They may be resistant to change at times, but they are aware that it is often inevitable and just a part of life; therefore, it flows more with them than the usual fixed energy.

SO torn about the new breed, because on the one hand they're so cute and i love how round they are, but on the other hand the silhouettes are killing me. they're not the worst offenders, but the m pose in particular is so unnecessary. like this took me five minutes in photoshop to stop all the little doohickeys at the bottom from overlapping

having a severe art block where nothing is turning out how i like but we persist! anywho here's a wip/very rough sketch of a Tim breaker design to go along with my rose piece : D

Update finished it! here

Not sure if someone’s pointed this out yet, but in the new Splatoween art, the cross-guard on Frye’s sword is the stylized み (mi) from Deep Cut’s logo!

Life is a lot at the moment and I may be MIA for a bit. Margo encapsulates how we’re feeling pretty well lol

Technically the Richmond coaches had two chances to move Jamie to center and then didn’t take it: once when Zava showed up and once when they switched everyone at practice.

Both times they assumed he wouldn’t do it

At the very least we know he was willing to do it the second time (he even asked if they meant to give him the same position), but honestly? The Jamie who came to them worried about the effect of Zava on the team might’ve done it too. He is well on board with being a team player at that point, which he also demonstrated many times in season two. He probably would’ve been hurt by it, but he would’ve agreed to do it

(Then we could’ve had a whole season deconstructing how Jamie conflates scoring with winning with value in a way that really isn’t healthy but I digress)

For the record I don’t think this would have fixed anything. They probably would’ve figured out how effective Jamie is in midfield sooner, but they still would’ve had Zava, and after Zava there would’ve been the tension of whether to keep Jamie where he was or have him step back up to striker, especially since they weren’t doing total football yet. In a lot of ways, having Jamie step up and volunteer for it later really sidesteps a lot of drama

I’m more so lamenting the fact that with Jamie, when it came to ‘be curious not judgmental, they chose to remain judgmental of his past behavior instead of curious about his new ones.

I have finished! The Adult References! My wrist hates me because I stubbornly refused to use the text option on Procreate (I just can’t get it to turn out in a way I like, sue me) and so hand-wrote ALL THE LITTLE NOTES. But behold! My adult versions and Ant, Fontaine, Finn, Madeline, and their respective partners, years down the line!

Some extra notes that I didn’t add in to the drawing because the ones I had were getting long enough as it is:

Ant and Fontaine are the owners of the Aronnax now, legally and everything. Kaiko and Will have a personal submarine of their own, like Kathryn and Jacques did, and they live at the original base that we see in the show when they aren’t galavanting around the ocean. The Aronnax is no longer there however, since that location is pretty far from where Ant and Fontaine live now. The Aronnax is kept in a repurposed airplane hangar, and she lives there for a big majority of the year since neither Ant nor Fontaine live on her anymore. They live in separate towns, a few days away from the bay the hangar is in. Though every so often through out the year, they’ll go and work out of her, depending on what project they’re working on, with their own offices in her and everything. They kind of treat her like a home away from the homes they’ve built now, like a hotel and office crammed into one submarine when they’re there working on whatever project requires them to be there.

Fontaine uses the Aronnax more often than Ant, for a few reasons. She’s closer to the hangar, about a days trip depending on when she leaves, whereas Ant lives a couple days away meaning it takes longer for him to get there, so he usually only goes if he’s planning on staying at least a few days. The Aronnax still has all of her old equipment, and Fontaine’s job has her somewhat working with/for the World Ocean’s Authorities, so the equipment helps. She however refuses to take full ownership for the Aronnax despite the fact Ant isn’t there as often as her, because it was their childhood home and she knows how much it means to him as well. They’re usually only there for work, especially if they end up collaborating on a project or doing something for the WOA like their family did as kids. Sometimes they even take it out into the ocean, again depending on what kind of project they’re working on. However, each summer they take their kids and spouses on the Aronnax for a trip into the ocean. They do this not just as a way to make sure the Aronnax doesn’t spend her days collecting dust in a hangar, but also as a way to help their kids stay in touch with their roots (though Jackson’s Thalassophobia makes it a bit tricky for him) and provide the opportunity for both their families to get together when they usually can’t. There’s also a seperate, smaller bay in the hangar for any aquatic faring visitors to park, whether that be their parents or Maddie.

In my heart, it is always going to be Madeline who ends up taking the wheel of the Dark Orca. Even if Finn stays/stayed a pirate, I just don’t see him becoming Captain of the Dark Orca. Maddie’s heart is truly set for that role though, and with my interpretation of her, she makes quite a few changes to the submarine once she’s in charge. For starters, the Dark Orca had a major rework of her entire system and appearance. For one she functions much better now. She’s got working plumbing and AC, the walls are clean of rust, the hull is sturdy, and the Red Claw doesn’t sink or flood anymore! Madeline is also still a pirate, but she’s a very different brand of pirate than her dad was. She still goes around stealing things if she likes them, especially from other pirates, and she has a stall at the Floating Market. The Dark Orca is still a pirate ship, and it’s also on the WOA’s list. However, it’s also on a separate list now as well, because Maddie sometimes does things for the WOA. Some other pirate or criminal steals something that they really shouldn’t have, artifacts or items, sometimes even people are taken to places outside the WOA’s jurisdiction, or a vessel sinks out of reach of the WOA’s base submarines depth. When that happens, a hint or notice is sent through a burner phone Maddie has and sometime later the WOA have whatever or whoever they need. The Dark Orca also keeps other pirates in line, keeping them out of marine reservations and fishing waters for smaller villages away from the general populace.

Maddie also homeschools her kids and has them signed up to a few online courses. They all have birth certificates and Social Security numbers and the relevant papers needed to make them capable of living or working on land at any point in time. She’s even scrounged up paper work for herself. Maddie takes her kids on pirate excursions but only the ones that she knows aren’t super law-bending, and they also help her with her WOA errands. She’s making sure they have some semblance of an education and background because she remembers how hard it was for Finn to even get into college, having to resort to the Nektons and their connections to get him there in the end. She wants to make sure that they have that option if they choose not to live their life on the Dark Orca and instead go on land like their uncle has, and she wants to make sure it’s easier for them than it was for Finn. Maddie also takes in her nieces and nephews on occasion for outings, and makes sure not to do any questionable things while she has them in her care for ‘Auntie Maddie’ time. She also regularly visits Ant and his family, as is her right as Godmother.

Jeffrey is, unfortunately, no longer around by this point, but Ant has a box filled with mementos and a few pictures of him that he keeps on a nightstand, and he had a little fish sewn into his cat’s vest. Buttons is a very sweet kitty, super spoiled and super affectionate and a little sassy, which is par for a Nekton.

Those were the big ones, though the Jeffrey one was a bit shorter than the other two, but these are my adult designs of these characters! It took me a few days, and writing out all the notes hurt my wrist and took the longest. Next up will be the reference sheet for the kids, with (checks notes) all…twelve of them on it…that one might take me a bit longer.

Hey so I don't know much about engineering so I don't even know the right way to word this question But if there's a large pit* in the corner of my neighborhood and it has so far developed two sinkholes in two years, is that like...bad? Or how does one prevent such a thing from continuing to develop sinkholes? The one last year they ended up pouring a LOT of concrete** into it to fix it, this year's is new *I think we're supposed to call it a water retention pond? but the neighborhood facebook group keeps calling it a "detention pond" which seems worse than pit **cement???? I am unsure of the difference. Gray goop that solidified into a slightly different shade of gray. Probably looks like some kind of abstract art if someone was to dig it out of the ground

i just spent ages looking for the post, i swear i posted about it when i broke my beloved fish plate like a year ago, but now he's finally back together! i just have to wait a week or so for the resin to cure , and then i can go in and wipe away the excess gold. even though the process was frustrating and VERY time-consuming and i lost motivation halfway through and let it sit on the shelf unfinished for like 14 months, i'm glad i went to the trouble of learning how to actually kintsugi it with resin and gold instead of rushing it with epoxy and mica powder.
