re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!

Mars is Going Direct in 3 Days!

Have you been feeling tired, frustrated, or at the end of your rope? Mars has been retrograde since DECEMBER, teaching us lessons about perseverance and fortitude. It will station Direct on February 23rd, 2025 in the sign of Cancer.

This will be a welcome relief, especially for Gemini risings who are experiencing Jupiter direct in their 1st house. Jupiter wants to bless, but with Mars retrograde it was a little blocked. For Gemini risings, Mars stationing direct will be in your 2nd House of money. Be expectant of new money making opportunities to be offered to you now. Jupiter and Mars will work harmoniously together for each rising sign! Read yours below (also read for the signs in which you have any stelliums!):

~~~~~~~~~~~●~~~~~~~~~~~~~●~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aries Rising - Juipter is in your 3rd house with Mars stationing direct in your 4th house. This definitely looks like some sort of move to me. Or maybe a shift in how you're speaking to those that you live with. Maybe you're taking a road trip soon to visit your hometown. Maybe you're taking a long awaited family trip. Either way, home and your idea of home is only going to get better from here. 🚗

Taurus Rising - Jupiter is in your 2nd house with Mars stationing direct in your 3rd house. You may be blessed with a new family member as the 2nd House can represent family and the 3rd House can represent siblings, cousins and neighbors.

Gemini Rising - Jupiter is in your 1st house with Mars stationing direct in your 2nd House. May be blessed with new job opportunities, new fitness routines, new activities that will improve your self worth, self respect and self esteem 🌸

Cancer Rising - Jupiter is direct in your 12th house with Mars stationing direct in your 1st house on Feb. 23rd. Your intuition is on point right now! Whatever intuitive dreams or downloads you've been getting, please make sure you're following through. Your 12th house is all about intuition, music, delusions, self limiting beliefs, karma. With Mars in your 1st house right now, you are meant to clear all the clutter and perhaps adopt an intuitive writing career? ✍️

Leo Rising - Jupiter in Gemini is transiting through your 11th house atm, with Mars going direct in your 12th House. Has your intuition been nudging you into the social media space? For work, friendship or otherwise? This could prove an auspicious time to follow your gut here! ✨️

My "hot-take":

FUCK. THESE. THINGS.

I have never encountered a gizmo nor gimbal that I enjoyed interfacing with, not even once. They are the most cumbersome way to interact with anything in 3D space; I would rather chop off my limbs than have to laggardly click, hold, and drag these teeny tiny little tools (for often subtle and precise transformations!).

It is incredibly common to be at an angle where an entire axis is unavailable or unreasonably difficult for you to manipulate. When you're composing a scene of 3D objects, it's not unusual to want to do it in a way that is informed by the current position of your camera. I could rotate the viewport to reach whatever axis is being obscured, but fuck you! I don't want to! Most programs with gizmos have a way to enlarge the axes for this reason—which is great, if you're a fan of having vast portions of the model you're working on obscured by STUPID COLORFUL ARROWS.

So, if not gizmos, then what? I argue that Blender has the best alternative, but Unreal has a pretty compelling one as well. (There are probably other inventive ways of forgoing gizmos in 3D, but these are the two I'm most familiar with. If you know of any other unique control methods for 3D software, I would love to hear about them.)

For Blender, you simply have to press the X, Y, or Z key to constrain the transformation to the corresponding axis; the following manipulation is controlled entirely by the movement of your mouse. You don't have to hold down anything! It is precise, agile, and ergonomic. These controls might be less immediately intuitive than having a literal, visual representation of the axes, but it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces strain on the hands, and with practice, allows you to model so much faster than any gizmo could ever let you.

Unreal, while not a modelling tool, has a similar method of manipulation available. You hold Ctrl, then press a mouse button and drag—left click controls X, right click controls Y, and both simultaneously control Z. It feels very sexy and sleek, like operating a jet. For me, it isn't perfectly ideal (it still involves holding buttons for extended periods of time, and it occupies both hands), but it is infinitely more enjoyable than dealing with gizmos.

I do feel guilty about the sheer extent of my hatred for these poor things. They're so colorful and visually appealing, and certainly the most intuitive way to represent transformations in 3D space. But they suck. They just suck. And they hurt me.

I sent my fail son to the moon and literally everything he does there makes him smile, something I feel like I have never ever seen on his face before :')

My strange boy does not want to be a warrior of light, he is happiest when I exile him to the island sanctuary for over a year or send him to the mines on the moon

Here's that distinction between hard work and natural talent again, this time with Izuku and All Might. Though in this case, All Might's natural talent is likely overstated and partially the result of unreliable narrator Izuku.

All Might didn't have to deal with One for All past the point of singularity. All Might had multiple mentors who taught well, and at least one of them was accustomed to interacting with children. He also didn't have to face All for One directly until after more than two years of hero training (with the support of multiple mentors). Given these facts, objectively it's hard to say whether All Might was more of a natural talent than Izuku.

The real difference between the these two is their learning styles. All Might learns and fights intuitively. Because he relies on intuition, what is left for training in strength and drilling things into his muscle memory so he can move without needing to think.

Izuku is a prediction and analysis guy. He learns by observation. He breaks things down and then applies them. So while on a practical level, the strength training was necessary to bear One for All, Izuku becomes stronger by observing and facing opponents with different styles of combat.

Izuku believed he was having difficulty because he was somehow less talented, but arguably the issue was All Might's poor teaching that couldn't adjust to Izuku's learning style. This is less a critique of All Might's character than it is a demonstration of the broader tension in BNHA between the uniqueness of the individual versus institutions that demand one size fits all conformity.

Someone had a reverse AU where Charles was the psychic, but now I'm seriously wondering, what if he was a little bit psychic? In the past I've also considered him having intuition powers (grabbing the book Edwin actually needed, using the backpack, etc), but it could be a manifestation of weaker psychic powers. I just think that'd be neat.

Shout out to the time over a decade ago that @seasonal-ghost was like "hey I've got chicken and sausage wanna come over and BBQ for me?" And I did, and it wasn't til after all was cooked that he learned I had never grilled before that day, I was just the home economist he knew of

And now I'm really fucking good at it

Cheers, I'll grill to that! 😌

[yallstar]

this is the most niche critique but like.... it's wild to meet people who don't know how to shake hands. like you have to curl your fingers. you HAVE to. do they not feel how insane it is to give someone their entirely limp hand?? when two people who can't handshake meet do they just do an accidental low five??

The Intoxicating Feelings in Synastry - Part 1

Mars in harsh aspects to Pluto

This can be the most volatile synastry placement (especially the opposition), yet in my experience, it easily masks itself *in the beginning*.

Pluto is the ultimate deceiver. Pluto is the "i know how to get you right where I want you" type of energy.

When I had Mars opposite Pluto synastry with someone (double whammy - his pluto opposite my mars and my pluto opposite his mars), he initially came off very protective of me. We could read each other so easily. At first, it gave a very "you & me against the world" type of energy.

Mars Pluto opposition gave off alot of sexual tension as well as alot of "eye f*cking". Very intense dialog, always. Dialog around the others looks, dialog around previous relationship trauma, childhood trauma, self limiting beliefs etc.

It was intoxicating to me bc I am an 8th house sun & mercury so going deep and expressing raw emotion makes me feel closer to a romantic interest.

However, the largest downfall of the Mars Pluto opposition was how both of our childhoods included themes of domestic violence. Once i found that out, I knew this connection was potentially dangerous. My Mars would've aggravated his Pluto. His Mars was *already* aggravating my Pluto. We would trigger each other to the point of such frustration, that finally I just had to walk away. Knowing my peace & safety was more important than lust. (It wasn't just this aspect that made me know our pattern together could've been dangerous, but it was looking at the synastry chart and reading it as a whole)

Just remember, Pluto is the great deceiver and Mars loves to start shit. Even if it's just to assert dominance. Harsh aspects with Mars and Pluto seem to work out better if you both have the same harsh aspect in your natal charts as well (ex. Mars opposite Pluto in synastry *and* each of your natal charts)

What is your experience with this aspect?

If anyone out there struggles with color like I do literally look up how to make a palette for pixel art games (which should also include hue shifting), then make a palette that you like and now all your colors will look coherent as long as they come from the same palette. Ur welcome 🫶
