♇ i've noticed a lot of libra risings have over bites or there's something up with their teeth, or they could have big gums.

♇ people with asteroid hazard [9305] in their ninth house are capable of running cults.

♇ virgo moons cannot handle fame. or critique that comes their fame, example doja cat, nicki minaj and vinnie hacker.

♇ i've noticed pisces placements will try to make themselves fit into customs or ideas that have nothing to do with them.

♇ leo moons are very clingy to their mothers when they are young.

♇ i had realised that people who have Venus aspecting Mars had issues with people of same sex/gender and heavily attracted those of the opposite.

♇ 7h placements love drama especially if they have mercury, lilith and pluto there, they like to start shit.

♇ virgo placements can talk about themselves a looot.

♇ aquarius moon's normally have a weird head shape im sorry, or its very prominent, example natalie nunn and jaidyn alexis. [natalie nunn left and jaidyn alexis right]. aquarius moon is the epitome of the moon emojis 🌚🌝🌛🌜

♇ martian venuses tend to like each other, even if they're different elements. [aries and scorpio venuses].

♇ people with uranus in 3h tend to multi-task really well.

♇ pluto-jupiter aspects especially square, conj or opposition are very hypersexual.

♇ we know that scorpio moon can bring not the best relationship with mothers, but women with a scorpio moon might've had a mother that's weirdly obsessive with them?

♇ you could always tell when someone has a leo moon, it's definitely the hair, in my opinion when it comes to appearance the moon is stronger than the ascendant, especially when it comes to this sun ruled sign. [they like to dye their hair too].

♇ my nephew a leo moon and his hair is amazing, aside from that leo moons love to style their hair too, example, kylie jenner. [plus, my nephew's hair is styled all the time too]. another example is megan thee stallion.

♇ and me and my friends could tell the actor of orson hodge from desperate housewives was a leo moon, his hair showed it all. kyle maclachlan.

♇ some virgo moon men could have a weird relationship with their mother, or for another example, virgo moon mother's can be a great example of how weird "boy mother's" are.

♇ i can always tell when someone is krittika or an aries ascendant/aries in big 3 [tropical and sidereal, that JAW will show], example bree van de kamp the actress being marcia cross who has sun and venus in aries, next to her is simone ashley who has an sun and moon in aries.

♇ aquarius in big six are amazing at playing bimbo [when actually they're very smart], example marilyn monroe, isabel clancy [who is known for her 2000's bimbo tiktok skits].

Do you have a recommendation when designing a black character? Or tips, or maybe pages you visit for references?

Suck at explaining stuff but I’ll try

‼️ Ethnic Features ‼️

So, the art world is in a very weird place when it comes to ethnic features. The conversation was about how using POC ethnic features as an insult in media was damaging and needed to stop, and that somehow morphed into people being scared about drawing people with those features.

Black people have big ears, big noses, and big lips. That's not the problem. The problem was that media was using it to make us look like giant ape, monkey, monster creatures. It's okay to give them these defining features.

Also, remember that brown people have lighter pigment under their feet, hands, and bottom lips. 🌸 (didn’t really know where to put this but drawing mix people is basically a spin the wheel we come in all different shapes and sizes and features. There’s really no wrong way to draw a mixed POC.)

‼️ It's Just My Style ‼️

I'm so goddamn tired of hearing this goddamn excuse. A style does not mean you can't properly represent POC. I would even go on to say that if your style is stunting you so grossly that you can't draw a proper black person, you have a bad art style. Sorry—not really.

Media has shown us that style does not stop representation. The only thing stopping that is your ignorance and refusal to improve. Great examples of ranging styles still being able to represent different POC are "Adventure Time," "Disney's Soul," "Proud Family," "Afro Samurai," etc. I'm just saying this because I've seen this excuse be more prevalent in the art world, and it's just better to nip that in the bud.

‼️ Whitewashing + I Don't Know How to Use the Color Brown ‼️

I've seen people make the excuse that the skin color is lighter because they use a pastel style, but they never bring up the fact that the only color in the art that's lighter is the skin tone. 💀

Also, the whole thing about people saying they don't know how to shade and color brown palettes is just completely bullshit. I would even say that trying to shade pale colors is harder than shading darker colors. Additionally, there are multiple artists and tutorials showing you exactly how it's done. You have no excuses other than you just don't want to.

YouTuber Sinix has a great video on painting skin tones!

‼️ Black Hairstyles ‼️

I love dreads. Dreads are a very pretty hairstyle. However, we have more hairstyles other than dreads. If you're going to draw black characters, I would encourage you to branch out and explore beyond dread heads. There are so many unique black hairstyles out there. We need to move on from just focusing on dreads.

YouTuber Ari has two wonderful videos on black hairstyles in video games. I would recommend checking them out.

‼️ References ‼️

I love referencing old black media such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "The Proud Family," and "Little Bill" (before all the Bill Cosby stuff came out). I also appreciate how "House of the Dragon" implemented black people into the lore. Other references include "BOTW/TOTK Rottmnt," etc.

Some artists I reference all the time are Mohammed Agbadi, who doesn't do many art tutorials anymore but often discusses black characters in media, and his art is still amazing. Ethan Becker has a very interesting video on the racist triangle that I recommend checking out.

On Instagram, I love the art of Jojo.Dreamie, Chibichanga12 (holy shit, love their art), Bruniosktch, and Caw.Chan. I also just reference my family a lot. 💀

This is a lot of rambling, but what I’m gonna say is don’t stunt yourself by tricking yourself into believing that your art can’t include POC 🌸🌸‼️💌💖💌💌🎀💕💘‼️🧁

can you do some headcanons on what it would be like to be Jordan and Olivia (all American)’s sister and to be a teen mom and to just be part of the whole vortex friend group? Loved ur Layla headcanons <33 Sorry this is hella specific and worded weird 😭 English is not my first language

BAKER SIBLINGS x3

A/N: glad you enjoyed them! + Your English is just fine👌🏾💜 & this ended up being a little more focused on Ada’s relationship with the twins actually and their childhood 😅 + I also was unsure how to end it, which I’m sure you’ll be able to tell once you get to the bottom lol.

WARNINGS: some possible triggering subject matters related to ED are mentioned somewhere down below. + GIF SEARCH IS ALWAYS DONE BY GOOGLE & BELONGS TO: @bakerolivia

・❥・ੈ✩‧₊˚ ・❥ ੈ✩‧₊˚ ・❥・ੈ✩‧₊˚ ・❥ ੈ✩‧

Ada Baker, also know as little Baker would be the baby sibling to the baker twins ofc.

Two years behind to be exact.

Current age as of season 5: 17/18? —Since the writers never have a consistent timeline/time frame— but it’s been brought to my attention due to the one of the episodes that Jordan is 19 so Olivia is also 19.

They’re both born in April, making them Aries babies

Two year old Jordan was not thrilled having another sister, which Laura and Billy found funny considering how close he ended up being to Ada.

Back then? They heavily got on each other’s nerves.

Ada is a cancer (born in late June) and although reserved/Stand off-ish to some, her closest friends and family know just how goofy she is just like the baker’s all can be.

She snorts when she laughs for one.

She’s also the first one to break out into dance moves with their dad Billy once he gets into his two-step routine or soul train moves, regardless of who’s watching, she loves laughing and dancing with that bald headed man.

Quiet yet sweet and temperamental all wrapped in one. First they’re sour, then they’re sweet—is definitely Ada!

The youngest sib is actually the most protective imo—she’ll throw hands for any of her sibs and will insert herself into any of their fights if need be.

Most of the time she’s open to seeing different perspectives but all hats are off when it goes to those that start shit with her big brother and sister.

Jordan and Ada are the fighters whereas Liv is more so on the verbal part, the girl is slick with her words but don’t underestimate—Liv has a mean uppercut and back hand. Have you seen those long arms?!

Was the “chubby” sibling growing up so lots of bullying was going on and kids also liked to pick on her freckles? How dumb! which resulted in fights and a few suspensions or detentions—older baker’s included.

Ada never had a reason to experience body dysmorphia (even when her own grandmother would make shady comments to Laura when they visited her for the weekend) until other kids started making it a big deal. 

She hit puberty early and the immaturity seemed to only increase due to being top heavy and not shaped so thinly like her mother or older sister.

Lots of depression, anger, wearing baggy clothing, and limiting their food intake became a thing during her middle school years and she became the first out of the family to seek therapy.

Billy didn’t think it was necessary, feeling that his daughter should just talk to him, his wife, or her siblings as the answer. It took some convincing and it wasn’t until Billy picked up on some unhealthy habits—like barely eating, purging, fainting from lack of nutrients, and seeing her constantly step on the scale three x a day, did he finally come around.

Then she took up kick-boxing which helped a lot along with her hobby of creating her own coraline inspired dolls and obsession with stop motion animation films.

She wasn’t as athletic as Jordan and she remembered being forced to attend dance classes as a kid with Liv but it ultimately wasn’t her thing.

Ofc sports were encouraged in the baker household and softball was a thing for awhile before kickboxing, “but you’re excellent at softball why would you want to give it up?” Billy asked an eight year old Ada who just shrugged her shoulders in the backseat after a game, “it’s boring daddy and I don’t want to do it anymore.” He was always softhearted for his baby girls so he didn’t pushed it but he became even more excited when Ada picked up kickboxing—not for the reason behind it though!

Ada’s kicks were insane!

“Ada, What’s the most rebellious thing you’ve ever done?” Olivia asked while the siblings decided to do a sibling tag for Liv’s Instagram.

The twins awaited Ada’s answer as she sat in between them and snorted, “probably get pregnant.”

Olivia nodded her head with her lips pushed out, lightly laughing as she returned her attention back to her phone, “Oop.”

“Well that’s all folks.” Jordan gave a two finger salute while Ada shrugged at the camera, a smirk on her lips.

It’s not like she purposely went out and got pregnant at fifteen but it was the first thing that came to mind—although there was probably a small list—she can be straight forward sometimes.

She went to Liv first with this huge secret, wanting her big sis to be there with her while she took the two tests from her Tongan boyfriend, who sneakily stole one from his older sister and bought the other.

“You better not be pranking me, Ada. This is serious.” Liv paced the floor while Ada was in the bathroom, tending to business.

“Why would I joke about this? You saw how much I was shaking when I told you.”

Liv sighed, knowing she was right. She was shocked that Ada even thought this was a possibility, eyes wide and almost gagging at the image of her sister being involved with her annoying jock boyfriend who didn’t even look sixteen.

But she also felt pride that Ada came to her first about this whole ordeal. The baker family was slowly getting better at paying more attention to each other and communicating so this actually means a lot that Ada trusted Liv with this secret.

With Liv reading the two pink lines for her and the second almost screaming: pregnant. she held onto her baby sister who fell into tears over this new change of direction her life was about to unfold.

Laura was told next before Ada’s bf at the time and Laura had the same reaction as liv: wide eyes and mouth agape before she rounded off questions: “how could you be so irresponsible? You’re only a child yourself! We’re making you an appointment first thing tomorrow morning to see how far along you are and your best options!”

Laura was just as upset as Ada but it was evident the girl was scared at the mere fact that she was having a child and that her family would probably disown her. Laura could see it in her child’s low-set damp eyes and with the way Liv was trying to be a mediator, she sighed trying to collect her thoughts, calming down.

Eventually Laura squeezed Ada to her chest, telling her that everything will be figured out and not to speak a word of it to her father until after the appointment.

Jordan found out anyways since her bf blurted it out one night when they ran into each other at this restaurant and Jordan roughed the younger boy up a bit for even “joking” about his sister like that before it was broken up.

Jordan invaded Ada’s privacy, going through her room to get some answers and when he did… he never could keep a secret—he brought it right to their father.

Billy and Jordan were heavily disappointed and said some very hurtful things that Laura immediately stepped in, her mommy bear instincts firing off at the two men in the house. “What’s the matter with you two? This is your daughter, your sister! To think what the both of you said to her was even remotely okay, tells me you don’t respect her as a person and I won’t stand for either of you speaking to her like that!”

Ada gave them both the silent treatment for a month until a sit down was demanded by Laura and Liv.

Apologies were made and life went on but that didn’t mean the wound wasn’t still there.

Ada rarely forgot much.

To be pregnant by your first love changed everything for Ada Baker. To have a bf so supportive, more supportive than her own father and brother meant a lot and she swore she was going to be with this guy forever.

Until he moved back to New Zealand, finding it selfish that her bf’s family just up and left knowing he had a child.

Which made things even harder for Ada. Juggling school—the gossip and the work load, the absence of her bf in raising their child together, simply being a teen mom was extremely hard, the change of her body after birth, she thought about old habits until she looked into the replica of her own hooded eyes that she handed down to her child, reminding Ada that she had to be better for her.

Everyday was a daily struggle but one thing is extremely true: Ada loved her daughter, dearly.

The little girl easily gained the number one spot for “best friend”

She loved having matching outfits with her and socializing with her who easily babbled back before she really learned how to speak.

Although Ada’s teenage years changed because of her daughter, she couldn’t imagine what it would be like without her vocal, smart, and active child.

It got a smidge easier as Ada’s baby got older, allowing her to spend more time with the vortex and her own set of friends. She became less needy but still adored Ada just the same.

There’s no other way to describe a child running up to you to give you the biggest hug after a long day 🥹

Attending high school, homework, work, and tending to a two year old before and after—majority of the time depending what time Ada got off. She was super thankful that Mama Laura stepped in most of the time along with the vortex. Ask her how she does it? Barely.

She gets frustrated with her child’s father since he’s not physically here to help and a FaceTime can only do so much.

I feel like the vortex wouldn’t exclude Ada as much as they got older. They’ve all been friends since childhood and she was always viewed as, “Little Bunny Baker” or simply “Little baker.”

The bunny stood for: Ada’s obsession with bunnies back when she was in elementary school.

The bakers never got into owning a cat or a dog. It was always a hamster or a fish since the family was usually always on the go.

Which resulted in Jordan accidentally k*lling Ada’s pet Bunny, leaving it outside in its cage during a heatwave in the hills while they were heading to the Grand Canyon one summer.

Ada would have done it herself and sure it was her responsibility but being rushed out of the house with a father like billy at the crack of dawn—Billy, Liv, and Ada left for the airport early to catch a morning flight since Laura couldn’t get off work until the afternoon and would be taking the evening flight with Jordan

Ada begged jordan on the phone to do it for her as they made it to the airport and Jordan said he would

Laura double checked with Jordan before they were also rushing out of the house to their car service and Jordan swore he did…

Until they came back and you can guess what was left for Ada there.

That was the last time she ever forgot to do something. Shout-out to childhood trauma!

anyways it wasn’t necessarily anything personal with the vortex, it’s just that she was a little young and they were older and they were the “cooler.” She was just kinda “weird” kid with glasses and freckles who wasn’t into what other kids were into. You know how that goes as the younger sibling…

JJ was probably the only one that didn’t make Ada feel some type of way as a kid. Always the big heart that one and Ada would be lying if she said a teeny crush wasn’t formed—back then!

Layla was sorta nice too, being Olivia’s glamorous best friend and all but Ada didn’t miss how they gossiped about her sometimes when Ada left the room—which resulted in Ada calling Liv out on it.

The screaming matches between those two growing up? It makes complete sense why Ada’s daughter has a set of strong vocal cords on her.

But hey that was all childhood stuff! As they got older, there was no need for the excluding of Ada Baker. She was just as much family as Jordan and Olivia.

If she’s down to party, she’s hitting up JJ and knows how to have a good time but knows her limit. Full on compliments from the long haired blond whenever he see’s her and he may or may not get a dance with her. “C’mon! None of that I don’t dance, crap!” “Okay, JJ! Just keep your hands where I can see them.” “Forsure! I’m a total gentleman, just ask all my lady lovers.” “This is where I leave you.” “Awww c’mon! I’m just giving a reference!”

She wasn’t the closest with asher, even when he dated Liv after Layla. She honestly didn’t approve of the relationship but Liv wasn’t trying to hear that. They actually shared some words here and there but now? They speak to each other much calmer now that he’s having a baby and is full of questions. Ada’s actually befriended Jaimee/Jaymee quite easily and Asher just wanted to get along with everyone that was cool with his gf.

Asher is the one constantly asking questions whereas Jaimee just tends to go with the flow. He’ll even text Ada at odd hours asking questions just to be hit with, “Asher, it’s midnight. Go to bed or I’ll cancel your ass again.” “Okay but before you consider doing that! What does colic mean again?” “Sorry but…Google is free.” “Who needs google when I have the real thing here?” “👋🏽” “hello?”

I’d say she’s probably closest with Jaimee and maybe Patience. They’re usually the two she’s hanging out with while the rest of the vortex maybe busy and if she isn’t dragged to hang with Jordayla (mostly by the request of Layla) and Liv or isn’t hanging out with her daughter or her own group tbh.

How does she feel about jordayla? It wasn’t much of a shock to her (or anyone) that this was a thing. Everyone knew and they failed so horribly to “hide it.”

They were all in each other’s faces like no one else was in the room at the baker’s household

“Well this is disturbing.” Ada mumbled to her mom, popping a zucchini slice in her mouth while she bounced her giggling daughter on one hip. Which earned a shush from Laura and a cackle from Liv.

Overall she may shit-talk the relationship but she’s happy that her brother found true love again after Simone and she definitely drags Jordan for proposing but is all smiles when Layla actually asks her to be a bridesmaid with a gift way down the line.

She’s a spelivia shipper, always rooting for them and she was always fond of Spencer the more he came around…kinda liking the idea that he may have biologically been a brother. Ada wouldn’t have minded another brother and Spencer seemed to become that regardless of blood and she liked how he always looked out for everyone (a gift and a curse!), especially Liv.

With Spencer came coop and just like Asher, Ada also had her ups and downs in their friendship but most of the time they got along and kinda had to since they all lived together.

Ada Baker is ultimately type 4, “the individualist,”(“Fours want to be unique and to experience deep, authentic emotions. Type Fours fear they are flawed and are overly focused on how they are different from other people”) when it comes to the vortex and basically life.

So how do we go to this to what we famously know now with Cardi B and Nicki Minaj this is the 2018 Met gala. Jeremy Scott was designing both Cardy and Nikki‘s dresses. I believe and the theme was Catholicism. I believe if not Catholicism religion. Azealia Banks said when you see wars with men in the hip-hop industry online, it’s really a love is tiff And as we know by now in the industry, your have to be pansexual or it will at least bisexual that’s just how it seems to work, I know a lot of you may not believe but I alone items but how come so I’m glad. It’s just like the Nikki and Kim situation, so if it’s the same situation, we have Nicki, Minaj and Lil’ Kim in the early 2000 late 2000s even Nicki Minaj is known by many ofher peers for not liking them specially women, and and industry, you’ll see love its death but the industry also loves a good PR move where they will set up a thing where two people hate each other did round to give them both publicity going into their charts and their kids are Sagittarius, son and Aquarius rising and a Virgo moon, Cardi B is a libra son and Aries moon, and wherever you want to believe which ever source some people said she said on Instagram is who she has Sagittarius rising and obviously say she’s an Aries rising and personally seeing the look more of a Sagittarius rising, especially of her hair and her look and her face shape, but I can always see the Aries rising in her. Let’s face it they’re both fire signs anyway, so they have quite quality qualities that are similar. Rhianna is an Aries rising and she has a cockiness and good sense of humour and can be a laugh so she could have that anyway from just having an Aries moon. So how did this all start this started when Cardi B and Nicki Minaj both worked on a track called motorsport ,with the with the Migos, and they were never in the video together, they would do it separately, and one of the verses on it, you felt was disrespectful to her from nicki….. so they change the lyrics so are they were aimed at quavo, instead because women be fighting a lot and these two women have more in common than they probably realise or care to realise and a lot of it came from Nikki was defending for my remember black women, because Cardi B said some, women’s child look like a monkey and Dominicans are so I’ve been told very funny about their race. They don’t admit to being black a lot of the time when it’s clearly they’ve got black and Spanish roots so having her cancer cancer rules anyway, but Mars cancer even more so because you have to remember with Mars that Mars is your essence of your characteristic, how you move in the world, how you are every day how you are physically physically as in moving around and physically how you look so I has been up for a lot of times same how they talk with Meghan Markle who also has her Mars in cancer. It’s just one of those things are going out in her life. The picture we have at the top is at the Gala and Cardi B is pregnant and I don’t know if anything gets happened at this point I’m guessing not, but I feel like something might have, but Cardi B let’s face. It was probably stripping to Nikki‘s songs so when it came where they had their fight it was at the harpers, bizarre fashion event and Cardi B threw a shoe at Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj kept saying I’m right here I’m right here get me I’m right here but no realised that she had her bodyguard which I thought was weird is a female someone called raw Ali, she’s really pretty, but she’s very big anyway they’re two different sides. Of course you leave the event with a massive bump on her head so she got she said she got hit by security or hurt by security where as Nikki said on her radio that she got beat in the crap out of my raw Ali, who is Nikki security so maybe she saying in undertone I don’t know but maybe Nikki had loads of security around her and that’s why she didn’t get hurt because card had only just come out that year so she’s not gonna have as much money or as much of

Team.

Anyway, Nikki‘s Capricorn, marsis in opposition to Cardi B‘s Mars in cancer, so saying that Cardi B could’ve felt frightened by Nikki‘sm Nikki’s essence and her character and her personality and her energy ,in a manipulative way, because cancer can be manipulative, and Capricorns can initiative but mars and Capricorn love fame Capricorn,in MARS I see it being a massive fame placement and a lot of charts because I’m also doing scrapbooking too with my astrology and then, Cardi B‘s whole aggression could’ve felt frightening to Nikki‘s image. Anyway, we’re gonna leave it at that leave fusing to Azealia Banks and all her feuds had enough of that for one day. These women have both matured and become others, and as far as I know, there’s no more feuds with these two. Let’s keep it that way let me know who side you’re on. Let me know if you’re on impartial. Let me know if you think it was all here and let me also know what you think on the matter. Thank you kiss kiss kiss XOXO

B.I and OC Zaharia AZ NSFW

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Hanbin was clueless at first but now after he catches his breath will get a warm damp cloth and clean her up instead of her doing it herself

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Hanbin loves Zaharia’s curves. From her large breasts, thick thighs, and large bubble butt. Hanbin can’t keep his hands to himself. Ari doesn’t have a favorite, she loves every single thread of his being…. But with that being said she does have a fondness for his peach. Even more when he blushes when she grabs it.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Hanbin really likes cumming down her throat. But it feels way more intimate if it’s inside her, as long as her birth control is active

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Back to their love of each other’s butts. Hanbin loves cumming in her ass. Zaharia really wants to use a prostate massager on hanbin but he’s very firmly against anything going in his bum

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Hanbin had no previous experience at all. Zaharia had one long term boyfriend then slept with a couple models her ex cheated on her with for revenge

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Anything but upside down. She saw it once in a porno and wanted to try it. Never again.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Weird noises, sneezing, accidentally head butting with always be funny.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Zaharia got laser hair removal in 2014. Hanbin just shaves it when necessary

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

She’s the only person he has or will ever make love to. That makes any session intimate.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Hanbin did a lot before they became sexually active. Now it’s only if they are on separate tours

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

If you ask her band mates she’s the kinkiest person they’ve ever met. She will try anything. Hanbin really likes being adventurous but not as wild as Ari.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

In public….*confused hanbin voice*

Anywhere in their houses or hotels. Never in public and never when her twin is around

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Hanbin has discovered that he can’t work with Ari around. It’s extremely easy for her to turn him on without trying very hard.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

No choking. Never in public. Nothing goes in his bum. No trying anything new without conversation firsthand

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Hanbin learned how to give oral with an orange. It’s very effective. He loves nothing more than pleasing Ari. He could spend the rest of his life between her thighs. Zaharia love receiving but prefers giving and seeing how loud she can make hanbin get.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Depends on the situation and mood. Never too fast or too slow. He’s learned a lot.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

You get it when you can. But they aren’t fun. And they’d rather go without

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Zaharia’s twin sister once walked in on them during a family vacation. He swore he’d never have sex when they are around people.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

With time he’s gotten better at lasting longer. He can go 3 rounds as long as they aren’t super long

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Zaharia has a drawer in her dressing room full of toys of various sizes, shapes, and skills. Hanbin likes vibrating cock rings and using toys on her.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Zaharia yes. Hanbin, no.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Both can be very loud. It’s known what they are doing

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Hanbin isn’t massive but he’s not small. 5 1/2 to 6 inches. Still a great size

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Anytime, position, place, location….. just not “in public”

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

They cuddle and talk after cleaning up for a few minutes. As hard as he tries. Hanbin always passes out first

Astrology observations 4💖

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional at this. these are just what I've observed in people around me . do not repost or reword.

I made a 4th one....wheeee....🦄

🎀 capricorn placements like "classy" and bland foods with mild tastes.

While fire placements like it all hot and spicy.

🎀leo rising men are quite popular among woman.

*nsfw*

🎀scorpio placements have a kink of having sex with the involvement of something forbidden,

Be it the relationship,the place or the person.

🎀aries placements really grow with time but aries moons really have explosive tempers. They get angry and irritated easily.

🎀gemini venus or Venus in 3rd is a flirty placement and they don't care who they're flirting with. They just love to flatter people with their words and gestures.

🎀scorpio placements are either rich brats or hate rich brats....

🎀jupiter in 1st house?

No!! Human magnets🧲

The power that this placements posseses is some sort of magic, they really pull people in everything thing they do is quite infectious especially smile😁.

🎀moon in 5th house gives more daughters as children compared to sons.

🎀mars-neptune people like to creat scenario in their heads about saving someone or doing some kind of action 🏃‍♀️.

🎀virgo parents like it when someone says their kid is a cleanfreak or witty.

🎀pisces dominants love anime and having crushes on it's characters.

🎀sun-uranus (harsh aspects) have fluctuating confidence and ego, one time they are arrogant and egotistical, shy and lacking confidence the other.

🎀venus-chiron people are naturally good at giving relationship advices they easily judge and understand the situation and scenario of the dynamics but they themselves are afraid of dealing with those relationship problems they run from them until they learn to apply those advices to their own life too.

🎀scorpio risings usually have small hooded eyes that are droopy at the ends with glassy shine to them. Their eyes have this certain type of shape to them that looks as if they are focusing immensely on whatever they're looking at. That's the reason their gaze makes many people uncomfortable.

🎀mars-uranus always have energy outbursts and when those outbursts occur they go crazy suddenly they become the flash🌩️⚡,they say the most random and unique shit when angry😂

🎀I've noticed alot of Scorpios project their insecurities onto others. Like they will joke and degrade your looks if they are insecure about theirs,but will never admit.

🎀people with empty 12th house easily manifest and use their Intuition but they always either don't believe in their abilities or just don't believe in spirituality to take advantage of this.

🎀MARS or/and URANUS in 6th house people just can't sit, they have this weird urge to move around all the time. If they don't they get restless. You'll always find them moving even when they are sitting they would be either rocking their body or shaking their legs.

🎀leo rising LOVEEE detached people. it's like they're popular and everyone's fav many people would happily date them but only that one introvert sitting in the corner not interacting with anyone, has many talents many talents but nobody knows, speaks for social rights and scares the shit out of people when angry, with an intelligent mind would catch their eyes.

Looking at that person a leo rising would go like,

Leo rising : that's ma mannn🥺🌹

🎀why do all Sagittarius give pirate vibes, they're just soo cool, carefree and happy they don't shy away from taking risks either.

🎀juno in 12th house people feel lost in relationships or just don't understand the concept. To them, it feels like standing in middle of a forest full of trees not knowing where to go. So they mostly spend their time staying single or feel safer while labeling themselves as single.

I'm done here for today, do share your opinions on these😊.

Nonfiction Book Recommendations

Admittedly, I read just as much if not more nonfiction than I do fiction. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order. As you can tell, I have a weird mix of serious and silly.

What If?, Randall Munroe The famed author of xkcd (and former NASA roboticist!) brings you answers to the craziest questions. Complete with his classic stick figure illustrations.

Math with Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin If Randall Munroe taught high school math and drew in color, you'd have Ben Orlin. This book shows how geometry, statistics, probability, and much more have to do with elections, the Great Recession, and... the Death Star.

Caste, Isabel Wilkerson A riveting and utterly eye-opening perspective on American society. Isabel Wilkerson explores the similarities between our country and famous caste systems such as Nazi Germany, and how caste has shaped our lives.

A User's Guide to the Universe, Dave Goldberg & Jeff Blomquist One of the first and best books I've read on modern physics. Though the subject can be hard to wrap your head around, this book makes it mind-blowing and funny (with plenty of comics thrown in).

Strange Glow, Timothy J. Jorgensen An accessible book that seeks to show the story behind radiation, from Nagasaki and Hiroshima to mammograms. It'll make you rethink your next dentist's x-ray or airport screening.

Caesar's Last Breath, Sam Kean Lighthearted and filled with stories, this book discusses everything about the air that we breathe.

Black Gold, Albert Marrin Though ten years later this book's warning of the dangers of oil may feel redundant, it still provides insight into how deeply engrained the substance is in our society.

Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari Think you know everything about humanity? Think again. Harari seeks to the answer the question of what sets us Homo Sapiens apart, starting with our life as hunter-gatherers in the savanna.

How Things Work, Theodore Gray Though he's more famous for Elements, this is my favorite of his books. With beautiful photographs, he deconstructs everything from clocks to scales to clothes, and makes his own potholder (from cotton seeds!) along the way.

The Upside of Irrationality, Dan Ariely Psychologist Dan Ariely shows us what it means to be human through thought-provoking experiments. Hopefully it'll give you some insight into yourself, too.

Parkland, Dave Cullen Dave Cullen made his name writing Columbine, the story of the first major school shooting. More than a decade later, this story follows not the perpetrator, but the students who rose up afterwards, and formed a national movement. Absolutely uplifting and inspiring.

I don't know why Rhaegar considered to be romantic by Jon Con, Cersei and even Dany. I found that guy weird because he liked to sleep in ruins of Summer hall and singing tragic songs about those king who dies. Plus the GOHH told Ary@ that she had enough grief from Summer hall tragedy. Do you think she had some connection with Rhaegar?

Well, the Ghost of High Heart is the reason his grandparents forced his parents to marry against their will: prophecy.

Her influence likely also lead to Aegon V's ill-fated egg-hatching experiment at Summerhall, where he found his death alongside Jenny's Prince Duncan while Rhaegar was born. The prophecy led to his birth, it shaped his childhood and education, it led his choices. It was the subject of his last letter to Maester Aemon before abandoning his wife and newborn son to kidnap Lyanna.

There's a reason Rhaegar was a melancholy emo boy before he turned into an evil creep - it's the inescapable cloud of doom hanging over him, this prophecy that destroyed so many people - including later himself and half the Realm.

Excluding that dark turn, I can sort of see the general surface appeal of a handsome fellow who hangs out in Gothic ruins and plays sad music.

"And yet Summerhall was the place the prince loved best. He would go there from time to time, with only his harp for company. Even the knights of the Kingsguard did not attend him there. He liked to sleep in the ruined hall, beneath the moon and stars, and whenever he came back he would bring a song. When you heard him play his high harp with the silver strings and sing of twilights and tears and the death of kings, you could not but feel that he was singing of himself and those he loved."

"What of the Usurper? Did he play sad songs as well?"

Arstan chuckled. "Robert? Robert liked songs that made him laugh, the bawdier the better. He only sang when he was drunk, and then it was like to be 'A Cask of Ale' or 'Fifty-Four Tuns' or 'The Bear and the Maiden Fair.' Robert was much—"

(ASOS, Daenerys IV)

It's very Romanticism. Just check out the general vibe of Caspar David Friedrich or Claude Lorrain. Melancholy solitude in dramatic architectural ruins that exude an air of tragedy and greatness gone by... It barely gets more Romantic than that, aesthetically. It's not for everyone, but beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. And it's not necessarily less attractive than a fratboy who is known for binge drinking and bedding any girl within reach.

Can't blame Cersei for idealizing the handsome silver prince her aunt promised her. Young Sansa would have appreciated the surface image as well.

I also imagine he had a somewhat charismatic personality. Every quote of his that we have has him making fairly decisive but calm statements, like someone who is confident but not aggressive, almost paternal. At the same time, he's sensitive without being shy, singing and playing the harp for the whole court at the Harrenhal Tourney.

I can totally see why he was great material for a crush, on first glance. Being fairly reserved and emotionally unavailable would have made the first impression stick longer, as well. Someone like Jon Con would never have been intimate enough with Rhaegar to see beyond the surface.

Under the surface, you would have had all the downsides. The egocentrism and single-minded obsession, the inability to prioritize human beings and their feelings, the emotional manipulation, the ruthlessness of justifying anything in the name of his higher purpose...

"He has a song," the man replied. "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire." He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany's, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door. "There must be one more," he said, though whether he was speaking to her or the woman in the bed she could not say. "The dragon has three heads." He went to the window seat, picked up a harp, and ran his fingers lightly over its silvery strings. Sweet sadness filled the room as man and wife and babe faded like the morning mist, only the music lingering behind to speed her on her way. (ACOK, Daenerys IV)

That is Rhaegar below the surface. Elia almost died giving birth, but his newborn son is nothing but another piece in his prophecy puzzle. He doesn't reach for them, only ever for his harp.

(I once dated a handsome French musician who liked to spend hours in the wood practicing with a longbow. He had a handsome surface, too. Then he told me in all seriousness that his spirit animal was a fox who lived in those woods and that they shared a soul, while making a super-melancholy face, and I never recovered my ability to respect him as an independent adult. I feel like Rhaegar is kind of that person. He's handsome on the outside, but you don't want him holding actual power over anyone because down inside it's all bonkers.)

MONTHLY HOROSCOPE!

(I let Alan do my column this month. Let's see how he did.)

Capricorn

The Moon sneaks a peek at Venus - which she wasn't happy about as she was sunbathing on the beach outside her house at the time -while at the end of the solar system. The Sun provides the perfect shade for Mars and Jupiter as they floss in the vacuum of space. Your stars are in alignment with the cookies of Oreo.

They are telling you to stop being a wuss and ask out that good looking Astronaut that has been flirting with you over the last slice of Arctic Roll in the cafeteria. You are in control of your life and you need to be brave enough to take the plunge.

Aquarius

Pluto and Neptune are throwing hands on the steps of an asteroid belt, obstructing crucial space communications. Wednesday is going to be a collision of galactic gravitational forces, obscuring your aura from the warmth of space radiation.

Don’t buy that sweater, the colour doesn't suit you and it's twenty years out of date. My dad would wear that. Besides, it’s totally over-priced even in the sale.

Pisces

Jupiter’s moons are hanging lower than normal and swinging backwards. The far off suns of the Milky Way are exploding causing ripples of distortion across the cosmic fretboard of time and space. Can you hear its echoing melody? Don't tell Virgil, he'll try to copy it and it sounds like a cat wailing. This disturbance will all come to a frightening head on Monday.

Go skiing with Chad from finance over the weekend. He’s been doing CrossFit and he’s looking to show off his new set of abs, though they will be nowhere near as nice as mine. He jelly.

Aries

Mercury has skipped town with a cute little moon just a few lightyears travel away from Saturn. A supernova in the proximity of the Cornetto quadrant has wiped out the only other signs of life in the galaxy but your Tuesday is looking to be pretty rad.

Give yourself a well-deserved long weekend off. Call in sick and leave a burning bag of poop on your boss’s front porch, go to the spa, have a facial and work on that acne. You'll feel tons better.

Taurus

The multiverse is in chaos, even The Doctor is worried. Godlike beings like the Lazoons are playing snooker with countless realities, the time lines are in chaos! The screams of your doppelgangers are confusing the hell out of John, because he's sure he logged that call twenty minutes ago. This will encourage thoughts of procrastination on Tuesday morning, but it's fine, because you can put it off until Wednesday.

Don’t eat it. Don't pretend you don't know what I’m talking about, Gordon said the same. Don’t touch it — don’t even look at it!

Remember that things aren't always as bad as they seem, that there are still good people out there and good times in the future. Remember to reach out to your friends and check in on them, because we're all in this together.

Gemini

As Marina C is slowly but surely swallowed by a black hole throughout the next month, Captain America will rise and obscure alternate heavenly bodies in accordance with the Titanic model, resulting in an overall crap storm of epic proportions.

Go ahead and sign up for that windsurfing class. Francesca will realize what she’s missing, just give it time and she will come crawling back.

Cancer

The geocentric orbit surrounding Earth this week may pull in several unexpected objects, including three satellites, two stars and an asteroid in the shape of Mickey Mouse. This in turn will affect the stability of spacetime, so avoid any heavy lifting on Friday, make Virgil do it, it's easier.

Carefully read through all written work you come across this month, even if it's from Brains, because otherwise you will be cloned and your evil doppelganger will take over your life while you remain locked in the cupboard in Colonel White's office. He has far too many comedy ties but he never wears them. It's just weird.

The world is still in chaos but that can't be helped, five planets are retrograde and Selene says that always makes things iffy. I asked Scott what his advice was in regards to dealing with the world in general and he looked me dead in the eye and said "Make a completely normal approach, and keep your head." I don't know what he means by that but it seems important.

Leo

Saturn spins a sick beat on its new decks, rocking the universe with its slick beats. The little dipper spills cherry coke on the Andromeda constellation, initiating a sticky rain cloud that will fall only on Edinburgh.

Go back to bed, it's fine, in fact, don't even bother with bed, the floor is surprisingly comfy. Don't worry, you won't miss anything, absolutely nothing of interest will occur this month because everyone is still focused on themselves.

Virgo

The steady movements of the second star to the right will bring a sense of clarity to your life and you will recall moments of your childhood that you had previously forgotten. However, interference from Cygnus may work to confuse things more — watch out, because your Teddy Bear isn't the good guy here! It will only get worse if you ignore it.

Those whispers you hear at night aren’t in your head, it's aliens I tell you! You should probably Alien-proof your house. But don’t worry, if you don’t get abducted by Saturday your chances of living improve by 15 per cent! Buy that lottery ticket.

Don't forget your masks when you go out in case someone coughs on you , we never do. There was one time that I didn't bring mine and Gordon farted and let me tell you, I regretted it that day.

Libra

M-type main-squeeze star Alpha Bravo 6 will jumble up the celestial flow and likely have a huge impact on the double star of Teflon, possibly even all of Aluminium. Make sure to factor this in before making any decisions or building any Robots.

Watch out for banana peels, pool water and make sure to keep a box of band-aids with you. You’re going to be clumsier than John this week.

Scorpio

There has been an awakening in a distant galaxy. The dark side of the force is moving in to battle the light. They have been locked in an eternal conflict for the last six minutes and it shows no sign of stopping. As such, this will infect your Thursday evening with mean thoughts towards your best friend’s sister. Do not pull her hair just because stole your bike one summer.

Stop what you’re doing and go see Star Wars again. Don’t even think about it, it's a great movie, buy me popcorn and I'll come with you, I just have to wait until John we have an off week...so sometime in the next six to eight months suit you?

Sagittarius

A white hole off the tip of the Sombrero ring is spewing glitter at an alarming rate across the cosmos. A colony of sentient space mushrooms are drifting through the galaxy and set to collide with the Downward Dog.

When no one is watching pull that fire alarm. Free your brothers and sisters from the capitalist regime and the social niceties of life.

You're welcome!

[fruitcoops]

eve you have been killing the content game lately!!! I have a suggestion for the team to do the cut video where someone guesses their starsigns!!

This was a really interesting fic to write, since I know next to nothing about astrology! It’s also the longest I’ve spent researching for a fic--I will apologize in advance for any errors I made. All the birthdays/ signs came from Haz’s page (@lumosinlove) and SW credit belongs to her! Hope you enjoy <3

Marlene was practically bouncing as the video began. “Welcome back to Lion Pride, everyone! I’m Marlene McKinnon, and I can’t tell you how excited I am for today’s video. Would you like to introduce yourself, Elaine?”

An older woman with her graying hair piled in a bun waved to the camera. “Hello! My name is Elaine, and I’ve been studying astrology for about forty years now.”

“We’re so glad to have to here! Today’s video is going to be a guessing game with some of our Lions players, where you ask them a few questions and then match their zodiac signs.” Marlene handed her a small pile of cardboard signs with strings tied to the tops.

“Oh, this is going to be fun.” Elaine adjusted her reading glasses and flipped through the zodiac cards. “I’ve never done anything like this officially, though it’s a bit of a hobby when I people-watch. Ms. McKinnon, would I be correct in assuming you’re a Leo?”

Marlene’s eyebrows rose in surprise. “Uh, yeah, actually.”

Elaine nodded. “I thought so. Alright, where do I start?”

Marlene waved off-screen and seven young men walked in, lining up in a semi-circle behind them. “Take it away, Elaine.”

As Marlene disappeared behind the camera again, Elaine scanned the group. “This is very interesting,” she muttered. “You all play on the same team, yes?”

“We do,” James said.

Elaine’s lips twitched into a smile and she beckoned him forward. “Are you the team captain, then?”

“No,” he laughed. “Assistant captain, though. I’m James.”

“Nice to meet you, James. Were you popular in high school?”

James paused for a moment. “Yeah, I think so. I’ve always been pretty friendly and hockey helped with that.”

“You’re confident, and you don’t like sitting still.” She tapped her chin and gave him a once-over. “Can I take a look at your ears?”

“My ears?” James blinked at her, clearly surprised, but obliged and leaned down to her level.

Elaine made a noncommittal noise. “Ears say a lot about a person. Capricorns often have more vertical ears, but yours are quite round. You strike me as an Aries.”

James hung the sign over his neck and headed back to the line with a smile. “She just called you annoying,” Finn teased, giving him a nudge.

“Oh, no, Aries’ can be lovely people once they mature.” Elaine tilted her head and motioned to Finn. “Could you step up to the plate, dear?”

“Sure thing.” Finn kept his hands in his pockets, but straightened up a bit and rocked on his toes as he took James’ place. “My name’s Finn.”

“You’re certainly a fire sign,” Elaine laughed. “But you’re not quite an Aries. Are you a generally upfront person?”

“Pretty much.”

“What did you want to be as a kid?”

Finn smiled. “Anything where I could be around people.”

She nodded. “I thought so. Are you in a relationship?”

“Yeah, with those two.” Leo and Logan waved and Elaine’s smile widened.

“You’re a Leo, and a lucky one at that.” She carefully slid the sign over his head and patted his shoulder. “Good for you. Could the young man in the black jacket come up next?”

“I’m Sirius, it’s nice to meet you.” He shook her hand before taking a step back.

“Nice to meet you, too. You’re the captain, right?”

He glanced at the camera, surprised. “Uh, yes.”

“Well, you certainly could be another fire sign, but there’s something different…” She trailed off and drummed her fingers on the stack of zodiac cards. “Are you friends with our lovely Aries over there?”

“I’m the godfather to his son.”

Elaine held her hand over her heart. “Oh, that’s so sweet. You’re not another Aries or Leo, then. How much do you value your privacy?”

Sirius snorted. “A lot.”

“Are you in a relationship?”

He held his left hand up with a slight smile and inclined his head toward Remus. “Engaged for about six months.”

“Point him out for me, please.” Elaine kept her eyes on Sirius as he pointed toward Remus, then turned to the camera crew. “Did you all see that?”

Sirius frowned slightly. “See what?”

“You’ve been so tense and focused, but your whole face opened up when you looked toward him. I’m going to guess you’re a Scorpio.” She surveyed the group as Sirius returned to his place, then beckoned to Leo. “You have the prettiest eyes!”

“Oh, thank you.” He blushed slightly. “I’m Leo.”

“It’s lovely to meet you, Leo. Do you believe in astrology?”

He shook his head. “Not really. I think it’s neat, though. Stars are cool.”

“Good. You’re young, and I’m glad you’re not letting it dictate your life.” She scrutinized his face for a moment. “Turn sideways, please. There are certain face shapes that are more common than others for specific signs…if we had an argument, would you apologize to me?”

Leo smiled slightly. “Depends on what it was about. I’m not very confrontational in the first place.”

“So you like keeping things equal?”

“I do, yeah. As you can probably tell, I’m not big on making hard decisions,” he laughed.

She smiled and shuffled through the cards. “I think you’re a Libra, but this was the hardest one yet. Which one is your boyfriend again? Not the Leo.” Her face brightened. “Ha! Leo with a Leo!”

Finn’s face split into a wide grin and Leo groaned. “Oh, god, he’s never going to let that go.”

Logan was still laughing a bit when he walked over. “Bonjour, I’m Logan.”

“Oh, this makes lots of sense.” Elaine looked between the three of them and nodded. “Are you a hothead?”

“Usually.”

“What sets you off?”

Logan exhaled slowly as he thought. “Most fights on the ice come from people pushing me or my friends around. I’m not one of those weird angry guys, though. There’s always a reason.”

“I bet there is.” Elaine laughed a little. “What are your thoughts on liars?”

He made a face. “Nothing good ever comes from lying.”

Elaine hung the ‘Sagittarius’ sign over his head. “If you’re not a Sagittarius, I need to find a new career. Could the Scorpio’s fiancé come up here?”

In his thick sweater and blue jeans, Remus was the polar opposite of Sirius. “My name’s Remus.”

“You are a sweetheart,” Elaine said with a laugh. “Oh my goodness, no wonder he got all mushy! Have you always played hockey?”

“I was supposed to be drafted out of college, but I got injured and became a physical therapist for six years instead. That’s how I met the rest of the guys.”

“Interesting.” She bit her lip. “Why did you choose physical therapy?”

He shrugged. “I wanted to stay close to hockey and help people. It was tough, but it made me happy.”

“Would you say people underestimate you on the ice?”

Remus hummed in thought. “I don’t know. I’m not a big guy, but I’m fast.”

“Well, all your friends are nodding behind you.”

“What?” He turned and they all hid their smiles in their hands. “Guys!”

“They do!” James defended. “Literally everyone we play against underestimates you!”

“Let’s say we get in an argument. Would you apologize to me?” Elaine asked.

Remus raised an eyebrow. “That depends. Was I right?”

“Yeah, you’re a Pisces.” She handed him the card, smiling. “Congratulations on the engagement. We only have one left, correct?”

Kasey shook her hand as he walked up. “I’m Kasey.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Kasey. Do you believe in the zodiac?”

“Nope,” he said. “But my girlfriend does, and she has cool necklaces and stuff.”

“You don’t strike me as a hothead.”

He shrugged. “I’m a goalie. It doesn’t usually come with the job description, but I’d take the gloves off for my friends.”

She flipped through a few of the cards. “You care deeply for them, then?”

“Absolutely. They’re basically my family by this point.”

Elaine hesitated. “This is a tough one. I’m going to go with Taurus, but I’m not one hundred percent sure. Are you patient?”

“With some people, sure. It varies.” Behind him, the others were stifling their laughter. Elaine gave them a look, but hung the Taurus card over his head.

“Alright, that’s everyone,” Marlene said as Kasey rejoined the group. “Raise your hand if she guessed you correctly.”

Five hands went up; only Leo and Kasey stayed still. Elaine clapped her hands happily. “Oh, I didn’t do too badly!”

Marlene ushered them into a line. “So, Elaine, how did you know James was an Aries?”

“He’s just…” She waved a hand in her air. “He’s very confident, though I feel like he’s matured over the past few years. Something big happened in your life that settled you down, right?”

“My son was born just over a year ago,” he said. “That definitely toned me down.”

“Thank god for that.” Finn muttered, giving him a playful nudge. James smacked the back of his head with a grin as he walked to the end of the line.

“It’s a good thing you’ve got your boyfriends,” Elaine said. “Leo’s often struggle with their identity when they’re younger, so it’s wonderful to see you’ve figured things out a bit.”

Finn blinked, dumbstruck. “Am I that much of an open book?”

“Yes,” the other six chorused. He paused for a moment, nodded, and made room for Sirius to step forward.

“Ah, I knew it!” She beamed at him. “Scorpio and Pisces are very compatible.”

“So we’ve been told,” Sirius laughed.

“You’re the hopeless romantic, aren’t you? Making up for lost time?” At his shocked expression, she her smile became gentle. “That’s usually how it goes. Don’t be afraid to be soft, okay?”

“Okay.” He hesitated a moment longer before joining Finn and James at the end of the line; James touched his elbow in solidarity while Leo walked forward.

“Oh, an Aquarius!” Elaine’s eyebrows rose. “I should’ve guessed. Well, that’s a good thing. You’ll be a good counterbalance for the reactive parts of Leos and Sags.”

“Thanks.” He looked faintly amused. “Can I blame Finn’s puns on his zodiac sign?”

She laughed. “Yes, absolutely.”

“It’s good to know there’s a reason for it,” Logan said as he took Leo’s place. “You guessed me pretty fast.”

“You were bluntly honest.” She shrugged. “Sags can be difficult to narrow down, but you fit right in for all the good parts.”

Elaine smiled when Remus stepped up. “You seemed really certain about me,” he said.

“You’re the most Pisces to ever Pisces, dear.”

“Really?”

She nodded. “You’re kind, but I don’t think you take any shit either.” At the back of the line, Sirius barked a laugh. “Oh, and he agrees!”

“He better!” Remus grinned back at him.

Elaine gasped when Kasey held up his new sign. “Really?”

He shrugged. “My girlfriend is a Taurus and some of that might have rubbed off on me.”

“Does she have a big personality?”

“Definitely.”

“Wow.” She gave him a quick once over. “There were some parts of Sagittarius that came through, but you were a tough one.”

“It’s the goalie face,” James called from the back of the line.

“Sorry,” Kasey said. “It’s a habit.”

“No, no, that’s alright.” She stared at him for a second longer before shaking her head. “You’re much softer than most of the Sags I’ve met. It’s hard to believe you and the Energizer Bunny back there share the same sign.”

“Did you have fun, Elaine?” Marlene asked as she collected the zodiac cards.

“I had a wonderful time, thank you so much for inviting me!”

Marlene smiled at the camera . “Thanks for watching, everyone. Be sure to like and subscribe for more Lion Pride content!”

A/N: Here’s the annual Thanksgiving fic. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating!

As always, whatever weirdness may be going on with Callen and Anna, does not exist in these kinds of fics.

One Big Happy Family

“Ok, do not bring up engagement with your mom,” Kensi reminded Deeks, waiting for him to turn his eyes from the road.

She’d consented to let him drive since she was currently holding a painstakingly made baking dish of tiramisu on her lap. It was her sole contribution to Thanksgiving dinner-Roberta was providing the rest-and she didn’t want to chance anything happening to it. Plus, though she’d never admit it to Deeks, she didn’t love driving his truck.

“Got it,” Deeks said easily. “No talk about work, Arkady’s drinking habits, or engagements. Although it doesn’t really seem after all the grief my mom gave us about getting married when we were dating.”

“I know, but she’s really on edge about it.”

“Yeah, mom mentioned she’d thought he bought a ring last time we talk.” Raising an eyebrow, Deeks shook his head. “I can only imagine what Arkady Kolcheck thinks is an appropriate engagement ring.”

“You’re taking this remarkably well,” Kensi observed, resettling the tiramisu on her lap. “What happened to the guy who was prepared to shoot Arkady for even thinking about dating his mom?”

Deeks shrugged, one hand resting on his thigh while he loosely held the steering wheel with the other. He looked completely at ease, significantly more than she remembered in at least a couple years. And more so than their last dinner with his mom and Arkady.

“I guess I just realized that my mom is going to date whoever she wants, regardless of what I think. The other way is just going to end up pushing her away.”

“That is incredibly mature and generous of you.”

“And, we’re all highly skilled federal employees who could have the training and knowledge to make Arkady disappear permanently if he treats her wrong,” Deeks added nonchalantly.

Kensi gave him a sharp look and he grinned.

“Kidding.” He pulled into Roberta’s driveway before Kensi could delve into the seriousness of his comment. The last thing they needed on Thanksgiving was Arkady tied up in the hall closet.

Roberta greeted them at the door with hugs and the distinct smell of turkey and cooking sherry. She wore a knee length burgundy dress and tiny earrings shaped like turkeys. It was perfectly Roberta.

“Come on in,” she said, ushering them through the door. “Callen and Anna are already in the den with Ary. So grab yourself a drink and relax.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Deeks said, leaning down to kiss her cheek.

“Oh, and here’s the tiramisu.” Kensi held out the dish with a nervous smile. “I hope it’s alright.”

“I’m sure it will be perfect.” Roberta took the dessert and shooed them away, wanting them far away from the kitchen as usual.

They Callen and Anna standing in front of an electric fire in the den. Arkady sat in a lagre arm chair, legs spread wide as he regaled them with what sounded like a tall tale from his glory days as a Russian criminal.

Anna spotted them first and immediately walked over, reaching for Kensi’s hands.

“Kensi, Deeks, it’s so good to see you,” she said, sounding relieved. Slanting a perturbed look in her dad’s direction, she rolled her eyes. “He has been talking non-stop for the last hour.”

Seeing that he lost half his audience, Arkady mumbled to himself, and took a healthy swig of what looked like egg nog. Callen wandered over more leisurely and clapped Deeks on the back. He seemed fairly relaxed, maybe in part to the beer in his hand.

“Happy Thanksgiving. Glad you two made it.”

“Because I would kill someone for sure if it was just the four of us,” Anna added, stealing his beer and taking a long drink. “I need at least two more of those,” she informed Callen, who grinned and excused himself to retrieve drinks.

“How’s the house hunting going?” Kensi asked. “Callen said you had a couple of prospective places.”

“Well, I liked the last one we looked at, but Callen thought the neighbors seemed shady.”

“Yeah, you gotta watch out for those soccer moms and dads,” Deeks joked.

“Hey, with our luck they’ll turn out to be more sleeper agents,” Callen said, returning with several beers, which he passed around.

Arkady finally heaved himself out of his chair with a groan and joined them.

“Kensi and Martin, good to see you as always. I was just telling your mother that we should have dinner sometime soon,” he said grandly.

“That would be nice,” Kensi told him.

“Are you back to liking me?” Deeks asked. “Cause last time we had dinner, you I believe you called me uncultured and a tyrant.”

“That was joke. I have always liked you,” Arkady scoffed. “Well, not always, but ever since I started dating Roberta, my feelings have changed. You are like son to me. Or maybe a distant nephew.”

“Well, that’s love if I ever heard it,” Callen commented. “You’ve never told me you loved me like a nephew.”

“It is implied.” He gave Callen an unimpressed look, glancing at his mostly empty glass. “Would anyone like some egg nog?”

“Who made it?” Kensi asked suspiciously.

“I did,” Arkady answered, puffing out his chest.

“Yes, with a whole bottle of vodka,” Anna shared wryly. “He was very excited.

“Isn’t egg nog usually made with rum or brandy?” Callen asked.

“It’s an old Russian recipe. Passed down for generations.”

“Yeah, I think I’ll pass,” Deeks said. Arkady sighed in disappointment and tossed back the last bit of the thick drink.

“Alright, the turkey is almost done, the potatoes are boiling, and the poe is cooling,” Roberta announced loudly as she walked in. She’d slipped on a pair of low heels and a string of pearls, which oddly enough worked with the swaying turkey earrings.

“Ah, Roberta, my dear,” Arkady said, lighting up. “You look beautiful.” She wrapped her arms around his middle, tipping her head up for a kiss.

“Ok…that’s happening,” Deeks muttered, hastily looking down with a grimace.

“Alright, Dad,” Anna interrupted after a minute. “That’s enough.” They pulled back, looking completely unbothered. Arkady whispered something in Roberta’s ear that made her giggled and smack his chest with an admonishing “Ary”.

“Oh god, this is going to be us in 20 years,” Deeks realized with quiet horror. Kensi patted his shoulder soothingly.

“Now that we are all together, I would like to say how happy to have you all together here. Anna, my lovely daughter, Callen who has always been like a son to me, and my new children Kensi and Marty,” Arkady announced grandly, lifting his nearly empty glass. “To family.”

“To family,” the all echoed. Kensi thought it was a surprisingly appropriate and touching toast for Arkady.

“Though,” Callen said after a moment. “Since you and Mrs. Deeks aren’t married, you’re not related to Kensi and Deeks.”

“It is mere technicality.” Arkady waved his hand dismissively while Roberta nodded in apparent agreement.

“Yeah, why do things always have to be official?” she asked, rolling her eyes. “Back in the 70’s, no one cared if you were married or not.”

“Um, this isn’t the 70’s mom,” Deeks pointed out and Kensi sighed, turning to Callen.

“Did you really have to say that? Now Deeks is going to be threatening Arkady for the rest of the day.” They all stopped to listen as Deeks mentioned something about rings.

“Happy Thanksgiving!” Callen offered cheerfully, raising his beer again.

A/N: Here’s to all the wonderful awkwardness that can come with Thanksgiving!

I chose tiramisu for Kensi’s dessert because that’s what I happen to be making tomorrow.

And that's everything I hope it isn't too long for you!❤ have a nice day or evening 🦋💕

Heyyy there! Thanks again for requesting this. I haven't done this is a while and I'm happy to start doing it again. Sorry for making you wait, I am having quite the busy year, but I have some free time now so here I am. Enjoy!~

Ok so, hear me out..

I matched you with Arthur

Now before you attack me, let me explain

Admittedly, your relationship did not start out great

Like, at all

So you arrive at the mansion

And are being escorted by prince charming, or Napoleon, but prince charming is better

But anyway

You turn he corner and are met with this man

And immediately all the alarms are gong off in your head

He's flirting and you are having none of it, because I'm pretty sure your eyes are not on your chest

So you reply bluntly and Napoleon whisks you away to meet le Comte

Oh boy Arthur is confused

Nobody has rejected him before and here you are, just telling him off

He is very intrigued

So fast forward a couple of days and you run into Arthur

He tries chatting you up again and you just give very sort replies and leave as soon as you get an opportunity

He is very confused

Why is his usual charm working

Theo definitely heard about it later at the pub

I swear, one day Theo will roll his eyes so hard he will go blind

So this happened a couple of more times, where you just got up and left and at this point he feels like shit

He just wanted to be friends, but obviously nothing is working because you don't even want to hear him out

Honestly, I understand though, I would do the same

He just shuts himself in his room, and doesn't even come out to eat

We all know that he has issues, and this has just sent hi spiraling down into that dark place

He knows he messed up the first day, and he knows he is worthless and does not deserve to get to know you

And his way of life is also pretty weird, chasing after "pretty skirts" every night

But he just wants to get to know you

After some time, you grow worried

Like you don't like him, but maybe you shouldn't have been so harsh you know

So finally you give in and search for him

Literally everywhere

The last thing you where expecting from the charming and flirty mystery writer, was to find him cooped up in his room, with his pen hovering above the paper

Like he was desperate to write something, but could not, and was hoping the paper would fill itself

-Arthur...?- you called out gently. He turned around and you could see that there where tears in his eyes. Shocked to see the usually composed writer in such a state. You approached him and put a hand on his shoulder.

-Are you alright? he gave a halfhearted smile. -I'm fine luv.. just dandy...-you raised and eyebrow at him and he sighed. You sat in silence for a few minutes and then he spoke again. -You hate me don't you.- the question caught you off guard and you looked at him quite puzzled. But eventually you shook your head. -Why would I hate you?- you inquired - Because of what I said the first day. - you where pleasantly surprised at how ashamed the poor man looked.Maybe he wasn't as bad as you thought he was. - Well that wasn't very...appropriate of you but it is no reason for me to hate you. He softly smiled at you and this was the start of you beautiful friendship.

After that day, you quickly grew to like the other

Let's be real

Under all those smiles and smug comments, he is a broken man, who needs someone to pick him up and put him back together.

In a relationship, Arthur is the most attentive lover

He can catch all the little shifts in your behavior and will know when something is wrong

He loves to learn new things and will 1000% ask you to speak to him in your native language and Turkish , even if you insist that you are not that great at it yet.

He will also ask about your culture a lot, just so he can figure out if you have any holidays or events that are important, s you can celebrate it together

Very soft behind closed doors

and not just like hugs or kisses oh no no

This man will literally melt into your arms and not move unless absolutely necessary.

All around very sweet, loves you with all his heart and even though he can be very annoying and accidentally flirty with other women, he would never, ever dream of hurting you.

Ok that's all, I hope you enjoyed! Thanks again for your patience again and have a lovely day! ^^

Moods that describe how your heart would look if it were a home

Pisces it's a fixer-upper countryside farm. And it's honestly the best undone thing anyone has ever seen. It has chicken and a secret attic, old apple trees and horses. And there is the most beautiful flown-over garden, left alone for years, blooming and flourishing still, more now so then if it had been kept clean. It's a house that you cannot help but love, even if you should know better, even if it requires some work. It's the true feeling of mystery and of homey coziness keeping you here.

Aries it's an old brick house with wooden floors and a dance studio. You can express yourself and discover yourself here. There's paint and a fresh linen canvas in the garden, and wildflower vases everywhere. It smells of beeswax candles and fresh laundry. You will dance the whole day through and in the night, listen to the rain on the windows and feel true ease wash over you. This is where you really feel at home.

Taurus this is a studio apartment full of big windows to look out of. The sunlight is flooding in all day. Light weighted curtains are moving in the wind. You feel like you can be free here, unhinged of the burdens of the world, over the clouds. It's a freeing place. Do you want to stay, or keep it in good memory forever? I, for one, am not sure yet. But that's kind of part of the excitement.

Gemini this is a place where you feel like everywhere you look, you will see something new. Pastel colored furniture, gigantic monstera plants, candles in weird shapes, antique lamps, a cat with long fur and a diadem on its head. Everything might seem over the top, but it's actually just one thing: unapologetically the owners' truest of taste. It's enticing, the freshness of every view. Don't be fooled though - if you think of this as a playground, you will shortly land on your bottom outside of the main door.
