#i love that he not only pretends to be an astrology hoe to look at their hands

[columboscreens]

[heartslobbf]

let’s talk about perfuma. imo, she’s one of the best characters in the show despite being underdeveloped, and i wanna explain why. she could’ve been extremely average, just some lanky flower girl that doesn’t believe in violence and loves everyone, but she is so much more than that (and it pisses me off that y’all reduce her to that).

in her introductory episode, perfuma is clearly in denial about the horde almost destroying plumeria. she doesn’t want to acknowledge the problem, wants someone else to take care of it for her. she’s scared of change, and that is because change makes you vulnerable. if things always stay the same, there’s a whole lot less danger and uncertainty, and therefore you’re safe. secure. perfuma’s kingdom is dying and she can’t bear to accept it because it is unknown to her. it’s putting her in a position where she is no longer secure. this fear of vulnerability can also be seen at the beginning of 1x10 when the princess alliance falls apart and she literally says ‘being together makes us vulnerable.’

the thing is, perfuma isn’t wrong. look at her choice of words. she says that being together makes them vulnerable, not weak. here, she kind of has the words mixed up, but we see that by s5 she has come to understand the difference. that’s what’s so great about perfuma, her motivation to do better, her hunger for self-improvement. it’s why she’s such an important part of catra’s redemption, actually, because she embodies the kind person catra is or wants to be.

let me explain: perfuma is an angry, impatient, short-tempered character. we are shown this again and again with her passive aggression to others and how easily mermista can annoy her with trivial things (sitting in her seat in the war room, for example). catra is also an angry, impatient character, but perfuma works every day to manage those emotions. she knows she needs them, she uses them as a tool (calling catra out, for example, is a time they were practically pivotal for getting her point across) but she also acknowledges they can hurt the people she loves. we know she does a meditation ritual each morning and we see in 4x02 how quickly she can unravel without it. she wants to be better. she puts the work in. that is such a valuable lesson for a character like catra who has always felt she’s just not good enough, she’s always going to be this angry and unlovable and no one can do anything about it.

so, 4x02. it’s a brilliant episode for perfuma’s character, really, and the first proper development we’ve had since 1x04. we see her anger, her impatience, but we also see her self-doubt. her belief that she’s inadequate, ‘just a flower girl.’ this is also when we get introduced to her little mantra that becomes a bit of a motif later on, ‘i can do this.’ we know perfuma doesn’t wholeheartedly believe this, but she says it anyway because she wants to. perfuma wants to be better. she will do whatever she can to be her best self, whether that be actually conquering her gripes with cacti or realising there’s a loophole with the roots (love that conflict resolution by the way, another good deconstruction of hero bs by spop).

this episode is also significant because it comes back to perfuma’s fear of change, of vulnerability. she’s thrown into a situation she doesn’t want to be in, one she feels miserably unprepared for, and she hasn’t done the one thing that puts her at her best beforehand, but she pulls through in the end because she is surrounded by people that support her, that listened to her and consoled her when she was vulnerable. 4x02 teaches perfuma the power of self-worth and the power of true, mutual, unconditional love, which can only come with vulnerability.

and this is where her character gets really interesting, in my humble opinion. ngl, one of the reasons i love perfuma so much is because she’s a pisces and i am too. i’m not gonna go astrology hoe on you rn, i’m just using this to demonstrate the part of her character that teaches others. pisces, if you don’t know, love to play therapist. we like to help the people around us with whatever strifes they may have because we think we’re fucking great at it. perfuma actually is.

you know how i said perfuma learns the importance of self-belief and vulnerability? yeah, she teaches both of those lessons to other characters in s5. like i said, perfuma is a character who values self-betterment and also happens to be a pisces, so when she sees scorpia, riddled with so much self-doubt and such low self-esteem, her immediate response is just i’m gonna teach that bitch how to love herself. and she does!

i’ve seen some people say they don’t like scorfuma because it seemed as though the writers just decided to ‘fix’ all of scorpia’s problems by giving her a girlfriend. that’s very dumb, first of all because they aren’t even together by the end of the show, they’re just interested in one another. second, the whole point of she-ra is that we’re stronger together. scorpia doesn’t go through growth in s5 because a girl likes her, she goes through growth because someone is showing her support and love for the first time in her life and that empowers her. you know, the worth that scorpia finds in herself doesn’t hinge on perfuma, like it did with catra. it’s about her as an individual, and perfuma so clearly makes it about that when her big lesson revolves around singing. scorpia loves singing. perfuma tells her she should do it because she enjoys it, a sentiment you’d never hear in the horde, and when scorpia does sing, she is actively rejecting the people who did make all her self-worth hinge on them catra. she’s doing something for herself, because she enjoys it, because it makes her happy, because she can.

it’s that same mantra: i can do this, i can do this. i really love how this was brought back from 4x02, how perfuma repurposed something that taught her such a valuable lesson for someone else. perfuma and scorpia are great foil characters actually, both constantly underestimated and thought of as weak by their groups, but some of the strongest characters in the show due to their deep value of love and self. i can do this, and i know i can because you believe in me, because i believe in myself. it’s brought back again in 5x10, when the last thing perfuma says before scorpia breaks the beam is ‘i know you can [pull through]’. she tells catra she believes in scorpia. it’s that belief, that support from other people that empowers the self to believe it too. we are stronger together, you know??

anyways, onto vulnerability. return to the fright zone is in my top ten episodes of the whole fucking show and you might think that’s a bit weird but i don’t. 5x10 encompasses so many important themes of spop so well and tells them with scorfuma and spinnetossa, our two side lesbian couples. this is significant since perfuma literally draws a parallel between her and catra at the end of the episode, and catradora and spinnetossa have always been significant to one another. i’m gonna say it, perfuma is the reason catra is finally able to confess to adora in 5x13. i’ve already talked about how important perfuma is to catra’s motivation to improve, but she literally makes catra rethink everything about strength and vulnerability, two words catra has a lot of feelings about.

catra fears vulnerability. we know this. she has such a deep love for those important to her but is never able to articulate it because she worries she’ll be taken advantage of, shot down, laughed at, whatever. all of this stems from the abuse she suffered at shadow weaver’s hands and her attachment issues, and it’s also why catra pretends to hate scorpia’s very open displays of affection and love: she sees it as weak because she has been taught to, but it’s all she ever really wanted to be.

we also know perfuma used to fear vulnerability. she doesn’t any more. the entirety of the episode leading up to her and catra’s heart-to-heart is her being vulnerable, putting herself in a position where she’s in danger but believing it’s worth it. and it is. despite what everyone said to her, perfuma is right: it was worth it. she got through to scorpia, even if it was only for a moment. she literally spells it out to us and catra with one of the best lines in the whole show: it’s hard, keeping your heart open. it makes you vulnerable, but it doesn’t make you weak, and i have to believe it’s worth it.

back in 1x10, perfuma was right: being together makes you vulnerable. horde prime tries to use people’s relationships against them, that’s literally the plot of save the cat, the point of pitting catra and adora against one another. he sees them as weak, just like shadow weaver deems adora’s feelings for catra ‘confusing’, just like light hope insisted adora was a danger to her friends as long as she was around them. they were all wrong. yes, they’re vulnerable. perfuma acknowledges that vulnerability puts you in danger, that it’s difficult to do that, but she knows it doesn’t make you weak. weakness vs strength is a big conflict in 5x10 literally introduced to us with netossa’s theories on everyone’s weaknesses in the first few minutes.

like perfuma says, friendship isn’t a weakness. it’s her greatest strength. her belief in love is literally what saves her and adora’s lives, it’s what saves everyone who got chipped, glimmer, bow. belief in love, both of others and yourself, is what saves adora in her dying moments. perfuma summarises she-ra’s entire fucking message to us repeatedly in 5x10 and she tells it to catra because catra is the one who will do the most with it. that glance at adora, it’s obvious what it means. perfuma is telling catra she should be open with adora about her feelings because you have to believe it’s worth it.

you won’t get anywhere waiting for other people to make the move. she-ra couldn’t heal plumeria’s lands, so plumeria had to fight their own battle alongside her no matter how much they felt unable to. the rebellion couldn’t move mara’s ship, so perfuma had to despite thinking she wasn’t strong enough. the reason they always win in the end is because they have each other, they have love and support and people motivating them to do better. just like perfuma motivates herself to do better.

it’s the mantra. i can do this. i can be vulnerable and still win, because i have love. and it’s hard, it’s so fucking hard to be vulnerable when you’ve feared it all your life and you’re so angry, so hurt, but you have to believe it’s worth it. and it is. it is, it is, it is, love is stronger than anything and being vulnerable for the people you love is the only way you can ever get what you want from them. perfuma as a character embodies that, having learnt it herself, and teaches the lesson to one of the characters who needs it the most.

adora is dying, and catra loves her, and she knows she does, and she just has to believe. adora is dying, and she loves catra, and she knows she does, but she doesn’t believe. not until catra teaches her too, in that moment, to realise they were all wrong, light hope, shadow weaver, horde prime. adora doesn’t need to let go, she needs to hold on and believe she will be pulled back up by the girl she loves. she needs to believe she deserves it. that it’s worth it.

and it is.

Ayno/ No Yoonho (VAV) Astrology Ask: Romantic Breakdown

“Would you also be willing to do astrology for Ayno from VAV? Please?”- @excindrela

A/N Happily, again, this is based mostly on what I know of the chart itself. I hope you enjoy!!

AS ALWAYS, 18+BELOW THE CUT

I had to use this gif now I’m soft

Let’s do this

Okay first of all his big three placements are a bit haphazard 

Leo Rising, Taurus Sun and Libra moon

in that you can probably guess where this is going

Oh boy

one fire, an earth and an air

that is storm energy right there

slightly chaotic I cannot even 

Leo rising means that when you meet him he is charismatic, maybe flirty and a bit of an attention whore hog.

Luckily, since Taurus is one of the least attention seeking signs this won’t be unbearable. it will be charming and make you laugh probably

it’s cute 

If he likes you he likes you he will be doing dumb stuff to get  your attention

really dumb stuff

stuff that makes you wonder if he realizes how dumb that was

he is trying so hard pls don’t judge him

He will have your attention and once he has got it  the full charm comes out

he will be fiery and full of life and absolutely can compliment the pants off anyone but it will feel so honest and sincere that it will nearly knock the breath out of your lungs

definitely uses humor to deflect

Taurus sun means steady slow action

(See how contradictory that is with his rising???)

that means that his INSTINCT will be to rush in but if he is unsure, even for HALF of a second he will wait it out until he has decided it’s safe to move forward

they are artsy and emotional but keep a cool head 

so he may try to express himself through means other than words too

make you something or very gentle barely there touches,

you’re watching a movie and his hand brushes your thigh

if you look over he isn’t even looking at you he seems unfazed 

he was watching your reaction though so if you seem flustered expect a smirk and a few more accidents like that

Taurus suns have beautiful complex minds full of so much more emotion than they display

so since his rising is more expressive you’ll get something in between . bursts of shyness and bursts of being the life of the party.

Taurus seem detached but are hoes for physical affection

give the man what he wants okay it’s not much

kiss his forehead

tell him he looks nice

he’ll eat it up and be like “Hey can you hold something for me?”

and you’re all “Okay, Sure.” and he just puts his hand in yours and says thanks with a shit eating grin

that kinda sofffff shit

he will be unsure of his own ability oml pls protec

let’s talk Libra moon

as a Libra i would like do defend my entire sign but many times there’s no defense for us

it’s not intentional but we are a bit... light headed and flighty?

if we have a close placing earth sign (he does) then that is HEAVILY lessened so that’s a positive for him

and it MAY even tone down how stubborn Taurus tends to be since Libras do not like conflict and would rather bend instead of hurting the feelings of another

the problem is

if any insecurities slip through he will be a door mat

i am serious someone wrap him in bubble wrap he is doin me a concern

probably a low key perfectionist

has either the cleanest space or the messiest one

this all means in a relationship he is going to have moments of severe insecurity and uncertainty 

he will be friendly to a fault and probably is the king of “I can help you with everything” even though he is already overloaded. 

loves beauty in all things and probably will 10/10 just stare at you and compliment every feature sometimes just because he happened to notice that he hadn’t in a while

attention to detail in relationships

everything you have ever done together is locked in his mind and will be used

this is not a forget birthdays or anniversary type, sentimental!

Taurus Mercury means his communication is slow, he’s not lost or not following the topic he is just trying to make the words go i feel you dude

once he has figured out HOW to express it, he will not beat around the bush. straight to the point

he doesn’t want to hurt feelings but he absolutely doesn’t see the point in softening it 

either way it’s the truth right?

Venus in GEMINI

whew

that is going to be interesting to write in the 18+ section you have been warned

he is HIGH KEY adventurous in romance

tolerant and understanding, warm hearted and affectionate

basically once he has got you he is going to get your attention constantly

cute texts and snapchats

“I’m eating lunch missing you “ - queue pout face

probably whines to get what he wants

it will work cause he’s cute or whatever

gloats when he gets his way

but probably immediately does something SO CUTE

N Node is Libra so he needs human contact constantly 

you are a human teddy get used to it

do not ask him to make a decision ever without weighing every option

probably never is sure about anything

but really likes to pretend he is

constantly sacrificing himself to support others 

18+ below you were warned !

I been saying that neck tick thing some idols do is a whole kink and it keeps happening wtf pls for the sake of my lungs stop

I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THE SMUT no i dont

Leo rising means fiery and needy

this man is not the sort to wait long

Even with the Taurus energies this poor boy has HOE signs slut dropping through every other house of his chart i swear 

All his Libra and Gemini are in the exact places necessary to make him hella switchy

That Libra moon is literally begging you to WORSHIP HIM

Libra can be a bit vain and have a huge words of affirmation kink

literally never stop telling him how good he feels or is doing 

incoherent babbles are acceptable as well 

his venus being in Gemini is uh

uh well 

i’ll throw some possible kinks out and let you decide my dudes

threesomes

gags/bondage

restraint

being  being edged but giving overstim

so many people pleaser signs in here and honestly it fits 

Rapper tongue anyone???👀👀👀👌👌

A++++ champion of eating you out until you literally implode 

Yikes you better be well hydrated you losin fluids tonight

how many rounds can YOU keep up with HIM cause is not satisfied with only one

could probably have a poly relationship happily provided all other parts of the puzzle agreed to love him equally

he needs it okay

Taurus is a very hands sign

hands on and hands driven

taking that and adding it to Gemini’s open mindedness sexually I see possible public teasing kinks 

we’ve seen the boy dance 

he can put it down no one is questioning it

if they do send them my way and they can catch these hands have a debate with me about it

needs you just as into it as he is

probably gets REALLY emotional after

like he’s not going to cry, but he will start saying the softest stuff and you will melt

probably to make up for the rough beating your guts just took

for what it’s worth, he isn’t sorry in the least

probably kind of a “roll over and cuddle we will clean up in the morning” type

i don’t see anything indicating meticulous aftercare so he probably sees physical closeness as the best way to show you that he loves you 

you mean the entire world and he wants you to know it!

I hope you have enjoyed! I have a few requests pending but more are welcome if you don’t mind waiting a day or 2!

thank you for requesting!

[seksipomminpurkaja]

took a moment bc i gotta think who we've done yet, but pegleg pirates and moe n hoe we haven't

*cracks knuckles* ow

Who is a fussy eater and who will eat food even if they’ve dropped it on the floor?

I doubt they both put too much effort in what they eat, five second rule and all. Although they might stick to certain diet at some point as their (or at least ihn’s) health start deteriorate

Mae is bit more fussy, as she’s still keeping the red meat intake to minimum, wouldn’t eat anything off the floor. Joe on the other hand, big man with big hunger will down a party plate, and i have the feeling as he’s comfortable bringing food to bed he’ll also be okay eating off the floor, five second rule

Who constantly tries to get the other to shower with them?

It’s already hard to shower for Ihn having to sit down, Mhairi would just be on the way, no offence, and i take Mhairi, like all nedians, have sacred routines in shower, so they respect their showertimes

At first Mae wouldn’t be comfortable enough to even think about being naked with joe, but with time as her confidence grew she might invite him in, just to use conditioner of joe’s glorious chesthair

Who was popular in high school and who lies that they were just to impress the other?

Ihn was the jock who shoved nerds into lockers, i get that mhairi was kinda same too. They both know they’re hot shit and not needing to lie about it

If joe had an emo phase in hs he couldn’t have been that popular. Mae kinda was the class princess but wasn’t aware of it as she was more focused on her studies

Who is incredible in bed and completely knocks the other off their feet the first time they have sex?

I think they’re both experienced enough not be able to be knocked off their feet that easily, who can say, ihn surely enjoys a bigger partner

Mae was inexperienced with men and joe being experienced she was pleasantly surprised

Who plays video games and who snuggles up next to them as they play?

Do these grandparents even play

Joe plays more so it’s mae, she’s there to support him and hog some warmth

Who is horny ALL OF THE TIME?

Ihn, idk about mhairi

Pregnant mae doesn’t count. So Joe

Who is sleepy and cuddly ALL OF THE TIME?

eh idk

Who knocks on the other’s door crying at 4am?

not maybe crying, but if either, Mhairi, shit with xiulan

not at door but calling, mae

Who would have 10 pets if they could and who is adorably shy around animals?

Ihn would have an army of lizards if his crew would’ve allowed it, now he’s just too tired to look after them if he had them

One dog is just enough, neither are that shy around animals anyway

Who takes like 10 minutes of persuading to get out of bed each morning?

Ihn, Mhairi is a busy woman and he has nowhere particular to be, so let him rest please

Both are up and running in a decent amount of time, but if either has been away to a different time zone then it could be either

Who collects rocks and shells when they go to the beach and who thinks it’s dumb?

Ihn thinks it’s dumb but still does it

Mae is a shell enthusiast and has jars full of them at home for decor, idk how joe feels about it

Who picks fights for no reason just so they can have kinky sex?

Loving roasting and makeshift angry hanky panky, no real fight

No fighting (shakira shakira)

Who secretly admires the hell out of the other and thinks they’re the bravest person they’ve ever met?

I think they both admire each other, having made their fame and fortune from scratch and kinda being the underdogs of society

Sure Mae admire joe as a person, he just needs a little push to confront his issues

Who has an adorable sneeze and who sneezes so aggressively they pull a muscle? 

Ihn’s embarrassing accident nro 4. Sneezing too hard and pulling a muscle in his lower back

Mae has that kind of sneeze you are left wondering wtf was that tiny noise. Joe has a Dad Sneeze to scare predators away from his young

Who wants to have sex at work/school and who is terrified of getting caught?

Fuck, Ihn’s dtf anywhere. Idk about Mhairi

Mae’s bit of vanilla in that sense, no sex out of bedroom

Who smells the hell out of the other’s shirts when they’re away but pretends that they don’t?

Ihn, just lil a bit, Mhairi has some excellent perfumes and moisturizers

Both do, when living separately you gotta hog all the shirts the other leaves at your place

Who believes in astrology and who doesn’t care and just wants the other to make out with them? 

Ihn at least doesn’t, idk is Mhairi is superstitious like nedians are

Mae jokingly checks them from time to time, but doesn’t bother any energy for that

Who would survive the apocalypse and who wouldn’t stand a chance?

Mhairi just might, but Ihns too unable to walk for long without his chair and i dont think a wheelchair is the most preferable method of getting around in post apocalyptic rubble

Joe’s a skilled mercenary, and Mae is good at moving unnoticed and able spot valuables, they’s make a pretty considerable team

Who is majorly ticklish and who is the tickle-attacker?

Don’t tickle inh or he might hurt his back for the third time

Mae tries, my god does she try, Joe won’t budge, but when the roles are reversed... please dont break her joe

Who greatly exaggerates being sick every time they feel even a little poorly just so the other will take care of them?

I feel like they both would downplay it, but if ihn wants attention right now he will get dramatic

Joe’s only time he gets to be an attention needy baby
