But. Why. Is. The Irene dimension. A CHURCH for IRENE HERSELF???

Irene is literally the only person who goes to there so why have a million seats in the chapel dedicated to yourself??

The ideas I currently thought of areee:

Irene found places like that quite soothing as they were typically quiet since everyone was busy praying to her

The dimension was at one time an actual church to Irene before she sent it to this dimension (that wouldn't have any negative consequences. None once so ever.)

Irene is egoistical.

Similarly to Aphmau praying to Irene in MCD season 1, Irene would sometimes pray to a stronger version of herself while in her dimension. Since the world idolized her so much, the strong and stoic persona she became for them started to seem separate from herself who couldn't even keep her love life together and so she prayed to it, like those around her did when they felt weak. She prays to the concept of Irene. (Why yes! I do have a favorite headcanon!)

She needed a place with strong ties to magicks or something to make a dimension, where was better than a church where people would worship and pray to a god-like lady

It looks cool

i feel like the tumblr perverts need to be aware of the forcefem novel written in 1901 by a trans woman patient of magnus hirschfeld, wherein:

a lesbian hypnotises her girly stepson into believing he is a woman

then she hypnotises his father her husband into shooting himself when he tries to stop her

then she proceeds to live as a man and convince her stepson that he is HER WIFE

AND THEN WHEN THE COUPLE WANT KIDS (AS SHE HYPNOTISED HIM TO) SHE HAS HIS CHILD AND CONVINCES HIM THAT HE GAVE BIRTH TO IT

AND DECIDES TO RAISE THE BABY AS A GIRL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BORN MALE

AND THEN FINALLY ON HER DEATHBED CONFESSES EVERYTHING TO HER WIFE

WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE ANY OF IT

the author's pen name is luz fraumann (yes she actually named herself "woman-man") and i wish i could tell her she's literally insane for this bestie and also how hard she would do numbers on tumblr dot com

(link to hirschfeld's profile of fraumann and extract from her novel, in german)

Astrology Oberservations #1

Scorpios can be big people pleasers. Especially with Libra placements. And maybe not even necessarily people pleasers but people who just want to fit in. I’ve met multiple Scorpios who just can’t seem to find who they are or who they fit in with.

Cancer mars people do not know how to stop talking to someone. Cannot cut someone off, can’t leave their ex alone, can’t be real. As a cancer mars, it’s really hard for me to stop talking to someone I know I don’t like being with. I also have a cancer mars friend, and she can’t leave her exes. Like one week they break up and now she hates the person, can’t stand the person, just hates to hear their name but then a weak later, their on Instagram live together. She also wanted to cut off a mutual friend I had, and she just ignored the friend. Didn’t say, “hey, I don’t wanna be friends anymore,” or “Let’s stop talking.”, she was just there, and then she wasn't.

Meeting someone with the same moon as you can either be the best experience ever or the worst. My dad and I have the same moon sign and… well we don’t have a bad relationship, but I just don’t feel comfortable around him sometimes. I’ve also met other Aries moons, and I loved their company and attitude. So, I think it can go both ways because it’s like seeing your inner self in a mirror.

Meeting someone who has the same sun sign as your moon can also be like same moon signs. I find that people with an Aries sun often like me. We usually get along, and even if we don’t, we eventually will. I think the sun is like who you are on a more surface and mid-level, so meeting someone whose inside is the same as what you often portray it can be a fun and helpful energy.

Opposite signs are not that bad together. I’ve met Libras who love Aries (me), Cancers who love Capricorns, Taurus's who love Scorpios. My mom is a Taurus, and my sister is a Scorpio and though they bud heads at times, they really love each other and love having little things they do together.

Same thing for squares. I have a friend who's a Cancer and has so many Aries friends. I also really love Capricorns as a Libra. My Taurus mom loves talking with my Leo sister.

Leo and Libra can be very good together. I’m a Libra, and I have some Leo friends and a Leo sister that I love being around. Leos are those kinds of people who look in the mirror and say they're beautiful, and Libras agree. Leos compliment Libras, and then they go to the club together, looking like the best. Actually, if the Libra has fire placements, then they might be the ringleader; it depends on the other placements. It reminds me of Cassie and Maddie, well before Cassie did what she did with Nate

In an interview, Craig Sweeny, the creator of Watson said that Irene Adler was canonically Holmes’ only lover

False. They were never lovers.

She was The Woman because she outwitted him.

(Twice really. Not only did she replace the photograph, but she and her husband fled London without his notice. And she even wished him "good night" before she left and Holmes didn't realize/notice until she informed him via letter.)

And, while Irene is the only woman to have outwitted Holmes, she is not the only one to have impressed him with her intelligence (see: Violet Hunter).

(Honestly, Violet is the one Watson speculates Holmes might be attracted to and is disappointed later when he isn't).

Anyway. I feel sorry for Irene Norton née Adler. She married a man she loved, but everyone groups her with a man she had no interest in. (The "my dear" and "very truly yours" feel more like taunts or teases than any kind of affection; like, we do understand what sarcasm is, yes?)

(Also, can we talk about how Irene canonically crossdresses frequently and enjoys the freedom it grants her in public?)

Placements Who Are Most Likely to Experience a Chill Kill

Chill kill -  the term refers to a situation or person that disrupts a state of peace or silence, even though that disruption is ultimately missed.

Pisces 4th house (Sag rising) - Pisces is a sign about the unknown and not seeing clearly. It's about dreams and being up in the clouds. but being in a house that is so established and has to do with family, living situation, and the place you come from, could cause confusion or major change in the household. I have a sag rising and when I was in 8th grade, my parents completely uprooted our household to move North, for no reason at all. this rising can give you a disoriented home life and parents who probably are good for each other.

Scorpio 4th house (Leo rising) - Scorpio is a sign about transformation, it's after Libra which starts darkness and Scorpio is pitch black. You could have moved or had really bad living conditions. maybe abuse or just parents who might have not been that good together. A mother that's a little dark but probably still loves you.

Aries 4th house (Cap rising) - Aries is a rapid fast-moving sign so you could have moved a lot or the neighbor hood you lived in what either very child friendly or really not.

Neptune in the 1st or 4th house - Neptune is Pisces' modern ruler so the themes of Pisces transfer here too. in the 1st, the person could have been confused and not know who they really are. in the 4th, your household could have been very scattered and no real structure and this affected you because when children have no structure you grow into adults with no structure and live their lives confused.

Mars in the 4th house - Mars is an independent planet and can lead to dysfunction and violence in the house.

Pluto 1st or 4th house - Pluto is Scorpio's modern ruler and it also has to do with rebirth and transformation. You could go through internal struggles and people not liking you and going through rebirth if its in the 1st house. in the 4th, there's dysfunction in the household and transformations in the home.

Jupiter 4th house - Pisces traditional ruler and has to do with expansion so you could have been born into wealth or come into wealth. Could have lived in a lot of houses.
