NUMEROLOGY NOTES

tw - addiction, mental health issues

ੈ✩‧₊˚ if i could choose one number to be i would wanna be a life path 5 bc they live such fun lives (as long as they don’t have other energies in their bday that r hard such as 11, 22, etc). 5’s r usually attractive, charming, have good luck, good health, r smart, and r fun to be around

ੈ✩‧₊˚ with an 11 attitude/talent number (month + day) u will be someone who has a lot of artistic talent. u may come off as someone who’s emotional, an old soul, and someone who is direct. these ppl make amazing actors, artistic, singers, athletes, and social media influencers/creators. they have a star-like quality to them - example: tara yummy

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ it may come as a shock, but many master numbers r actually soulless. for context: not everyone has a soul according to matrix theory. there r npc’s everywhere. they could even be in ur family

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ ppl born on 25 days can act a bit chaotic mentally when at a lower vibration due to mental health issues. this isn’t a bias of mine it’s very common and known among many numerologists

ੈ✩‧₊˚ ppl born on april 14th 1998 r usually extremely attractive and seductive. they have a charm that can help them a lot in life. especially in their career/workplace. when they’re at a lower vibration they may struggle with things like addiction

ੈ✩‧₊˚ ppl born on october 13th 2002 often have a lot of influence over ppl and can be amazing leaders when they’re at a higher vibration. when they’re at a lower vibration tho they tend to be followers, sometimes in a bad way

ੈ✩‧₊˚ ppl born on october 9th r bad b*tches. they r not ppl u wanna mess w bc they’re not afraid to put their foot down or cut someone off if they need to. they r a bit sensitive still tho. random but they usually have good eyebrows also

ੈ✩‧₊˚ ppl born on july 8th 2002 would benefit from starting their own online business and could be very successful in a career where they’re their own boss. the downside to this bday is these ppl have a lot of negative karma to work thru (which i plan on making a post abt how to heal)

ੈ✩‧₊˚ ppl born on july 29th have a LOT of charisma. they have an addicting energy that makes everyone wanna be their friend. the downside to this is they may still feel lonely regardless of the amount of friends they have. these ppl r extremely spiritual also

ੈ✩‧₊˚ people born on june 18th 2005 r extremely wise ppl, especially spiritually. they r very powerful as well and can become very successful in life. they make rly good friends when at a higher vibration

➥ comment ur bday or a numerical energy u want me to discuss below

Padme, during RotS development

One thing to understand is that for the first several months of pre-production, George Lucas is still writing the script (pre-production started roughly around late April of 2002, with the first draft of the script finished in late January 2003. To quote Paul Duncan: 'before the script was written, the design team were given the freedom to imagine possible scenarios', and Rick McCallum: 'usually no one would go off and spend millions of dollars without understanding what the very foundation of the film they're making is, but we break that very rule of film production'.

Sources for this post are The Art of Revenge of the Sith by J. W. Rinzler (2005), The Making of Revenge of the Sith by J. W. Rinzler (2005) and The Star Wars Archives, 1999-2005 by Paul Duncan (2020).

It's also going to be a long ass post, so see under the cut.

June 7-21 2002(?): Ryan Church painted a battle scene: 'What if a bunch of bad guys were attacking Padme and the clones who were trying to get back to their ship?'

August 2002: While revieving costume designs, GLucas indicated that Padme will need senatorial, casual and action wear.

October 12th, 2002: 'For the first time, it is rumoured that Padmé might die in this film. She might be seen last on Alderaan.'

October 25th-31st, 2002: In response to GLucas requesting a new locale for a Padme and Anakin 'love scene', Erik Tiemens designed several Naboo sceneries. Upon viewing them, GLucas moved the scene to Coruscant; some design elements are used for Kashyyyk.

October, 2002: Iain McCaig designed costumes for Padme. Note the bird of prey.

October 2002: While designing the world of Kashyyyk, Erik Tiemens painted a scene of Padme walking with wookies. (Note: Image is a cropped version of the full art work)

November 1st-8th, 2002: Iain McCaig: 'George said there might be a scene where Padme's doubled over in agony and Yoda is there unable to help her'.

November 22nd, 2022: Erik Tiemens designed a set of new locations for Padme and Anakin 'love scene' on Coruscant.

December 19th, 2002: Erik Tiemens: 'I was brainstorming with Iain [McCaig] and he thought that Padme might have a dagger in her hand'.

December 20th, 2002: Derek Thompson illustrated his idea of having Vader find Padme and the children, who are being protected by Jedi.

January 31st 2003: GLucas delivered the first rough draft to his producer Rick McCallum. The outline given in the book is brief, but Padme's basic storyline in the 55 page script appears no different. However, Anakin's nightmare about Padme features her consumed by flames, and Padme goes to Mustafar with her handmaidens and Captain Typho - who are gunned down by clones on arrival.

February 6th, 2003: Erik Tiemens designed a piece of concept art for Padme's funeral procession.

April 12th/13th 2003: GLucas presented the first official draft of the movie script. It's 111 pages long. Padmé and her entourage are still attacked on their arrival on Mustafar, but this time by droids whom Anakin defeats. In regards to Padme's death, Palpatine tells Vader that a Jedi murdered her.

May 5th, 2003: Iain McCaig's designed Padme's funeral outfit.

May 24th, 2003: Erik Tiemens illustrated Padme and Anakin's farewell before he leaves for Mustafar.

May 29th, 2003: Erik Tiemens illustrated Padme watching the Jedi temple burn.

June 13th 2003: GLucas presented the second official draft of the movie script. It's 135 pages long. Anakin's nightmare of Padmé is changed from her being consumed by flames, to her dying in childbirth. There is now a scene where Palpatine suggests to Anakin that Obi-Wan is meeting with Padmé secretly. In regards to Padme's actual death, Palpatine tells Vader that he [Vader] murdered her, just as in the movie. Just like the finished movie, it is noted that Padme dies of a broken heart. Padme's final smile at Leia is noted to be the smile that Leia remembers in RotJ.

June 26th, 2003: The fourth draft of the script is completed, consisting of 129 pages. Padme is no longer accompanied to Mustafar by Typho and her handmaidens.

June 30th, 2003: Principal photography begins.

July 2nd, 2003: First Padme scenes are shot, both located in her apartment (Her and Obi-Wan discussing Anakin, and Padme with the other senators).

July 3rd, 2003: Revised script for the scene in which Obi-Wan tells Padme he knows about her and Anakin.

August 12th, 2003: Last day of principal shooting for Natalie Portman.

September 17th, 2003: Principal shooting finishes.

December 21st, 2003: Iain McCaig designed a practical costume for Padme.

March 9th, 2004: All but the last ('thunderous applause') of Padme's political scenes have now been cut from the final film.

August 23rd - September 3rd 2004: Reshoots

August 23rd, 2004: Additional scene scripted for reshoot the following day.

January 31st, 2005: One last day of filming for Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen.

Random fun fact: the start date for the headcanon ages is the date of the show's airing, up to the year. December 6th, 2002. This would mean that their birthdays as of that point to correlate with their ages ARE

Nigel: December 5th, 1991. Just turned 11 one day prior.

Hoagie: February 27th, 1991. The oldest of the group. I wanted to make Abby the oldest, but I felt it'd be better to make him the oldest and hold him back from school to make it lore accurate.

Kuki: December 21st, 1992. She's the youngest, and her 10th birthday would be in almost 2 weeks. I labeled her as 10 because her birthday was so close that "9" felt deceptive in that case lol. In universe, she almost instantly turned 10.

Wally: August 19th, 1992.

Abby: October 23rd, 1991.

The age gap between the oldest and youngest is 1 year and 9 months.

HOWEVER, the headcanon date in-universe for INTERVIEWS is January 29th 2004. Technology advances a bit faster in their universe so the first test trials of smartphones are going on at this time in their universe, lol. This would make their ages, by interviews, WITH MONTHS for extra clarification...

Nigel: 12 years, 1 month.

Hoagie: 12 years, 11 months. Don't worry, he becomes TND!

Kuki: 11 years, 1 month.

Wally: 11 years, 5 months.

Abby: 12 years, 3 months.

"How are they in the same classes?" Simple! Hoagie was held back in 1st because of learning difficulties. Kuki was pushed up in 2nd because her parents had the chance to do that. "No child left behind" does not exist in this universe, which is why Hoagie was held back so easily.

In my AU/fanfiction Dwindling Future, they actually go off a specific date. The date of chapter one is December 15th, 2006. This would make Nigel, Hoagie and Abby all 15 years old. Kuki is about to turn 14. Very, VERY soon, actually. I don't have a set date for the headcanon teen designs, but they start in their late teens. Take a guess yourself, because those designs last up until their early thirties. Feels weird to call them "teen designs" in that context.

[moonmoonthecrabking]

when i think the npmd characters' birthdays are

grace chasity: she has to be 18 in 2020, and graduates in 2021, so she probably wouldn't be too early in the year. i'm going with 14th september 2002. why 14th? secret reasons :) (not because it's cyclone day)

stephanie lauter: we get the most canon info on her. solomon calls her his "october surprise", so october 2002. she sings to pete "wake me up when you turn 18" suggesting she already is an adult. apparently, homecoming is in october??? the musical's events took place in september-october (since homecoming is 2/3 weeks after max's death)??? i thought homecoming was in like winter or some shit but you have a dance in the first month of school?? and not some casual shit but one of the big ones??? why???? so because of that, i'm saying steph turned 18 on october 3rd. it's the mean girls day because i think i'm really funny. it also means that, in my mind, she turned 18 while panicking about max being dead (or possibly exactly while the musical is happening).

peter spankoffski: again with the "wake me up when you turn 18" lyric from steph in if i loved you, he's probably 17 in the events of the musical. and i think it's really funny if he's. not that much younger than her. i'm giving him 13th october because. it's a day that only has significance based on the day it falls on, which reminds me of time fuckery, which reminds me of tinky.

max: also explicitly 18. i think it's possible that he repeated a year, given he's in remedial algebra, and also i have to believe hatchetfield does that thing vocal adrenaline did in glee where they held back their best singers so they'd win at showchoir. however, he gives summer Vibes and i don't want to make him 19, so i'm putting him as 7th july 2002 (i also think it's funny if his star sign is cancer. let me have this please i beg of you). i don't know how us school age bracketing works does it show

richie lipschitz: his age isn't stated, which makes this way broader for me. i think the younger he is, the more max would pick on him, and max picks on him a lot. he too gives summer vibes (or winter vibes for australia. it does not matter). the point is, i feel like putting him as the 19th of june 2003, meaning he's still 17 when graduating (i think. i don't know when in the year americans graduate)

ruth fleming: i am disappointed i cannot make put her on the 29th of february unless i make her a year younger than everyone else. TRAGIC. anyway, she does give me february energy (which is why i'm so disappointed), so she'll be getting the 20th of february 2003.

Britpop. One of the most iconic genres in history. It may be dead but it’s not forgotten. Here’s a timeline (from my opinion) of the genre from start to finish:

Britpop (October 1st, 1990 - January 1st, 2004)

I feel like people forget just how many Nintendo IPs got proper revives on the Switch, so I made a big fat thread about some

The biggest one in my eyes, a series that holds strong importance to me, is Pikmin. After getting a pretty damn good game on the Wii U back in 2013 the series was propelled into a limbo-like state with Pikmin 4 being "On My Way!" for a decade straight. Mainline wise, nothing, we don't talk about Hey Pikmin. Absolute crickets for awhile and then almost overnight it became THE system for Pikmin games. Pikmin 3 Deluxe, which is way more than just a port, with a bucket full of new content and an alternative campaign, released October 30th 2020. Back to crickets for a few years until all of a sudden, Pikmin 4 and ports of Pikmin 1 and 2 released on the same day of July 21st 2023. All incredible games in their own right, the supreme ports of all, insanely proud Nintendo treats their small fish franchise with such delicate care; if you're using this list as a game suggestions list, check out Pikmin you will NOT regret it.

Famicom Detective Club, which was one damned to eternal obscure Nintendo fanatic knowledge hell, has arose from its grave and is unironically making strong waves. The last original game being made in 1989 and then having "Super Famicom Satellaview Remasters" in the mid 90s, which are damn hard to find proper info on. Other than that, tombstone. Only real thing of note being that it was the first project Yoshio Sakamoto sunk his pen into, other than that it was doomed to niche oddity and a footnote in gaming history. The Switch changed all that, with remakes of the first two games being bundled together and released May 14th 2021. That's not all, a brand new game in the series, "Emio - The Smiling Man", is currently set to release August 29th 2024 as of writing

F-Zero, technically got a new game! It's pennies compared to everyone else's quarters and dollars, but after a 20+ year hiatus its worth a mention. With the last game in the series, ironically called F-Zero Climax, released on the GBA there were crickets after that. Gone but not forgotten, it got the occasional rerelease onto the latest system's virtual console, and it still had a spot in Smash Brothers. Granted if you were me growing up you'd figure that Captain Falcon was just some wack original character, but shit the representation matters. It was like that until September 14th, 2023, when a brand new game in the series with online got announced and released later in a Nintendo direct! Sure it was just a battle royale game, another drop in the bucket with the 99 subtitle, but it counts for this list.

Metroid, the series infamous for its dry spells, has been an oasis of new content recently. The last chronological game in the 2D Metroid series was Fusion, released in 2002, with the Metroid Prime game getting its third installment in 2007. In terms of original games, that was it. There was a remake of Metroid 1 on the GBA, and a remake of Metroid 2 on the 3DS, and there were spinoffs here and there (Metroid Prime Pinball is my GOAT baby); other than that, nothing. That is until the Switch came along, with Metroid Prime 4 being announced within the same year of the Switch's release. It took literally 7 years to get more info about Prime 4 but its with confidence to say that the game is coming out, sometime in 2025. 2D Metroid, long dormant and stagnant and almost two decades without a game got a surprise announcement in a Nintendo Direct; the highly anticipated and teased Metroid Dread, long thought to be a cancelled DS game but emerging in the flesh brazen as ever. Released October 8th, 2021, Metroid is officially back after what felt like centuries of wait.

2D Mario has been stuck in a rut of unoriginality for a decade and a half now. Since the release of New Super Mario Bros for the DS in May 2006, 2D Mario was stuck in a loop of distilling the same damn game over and over, with it getting stripped more and more of what once was in such a short time. It hit a boiling point in November 2012, with the release of "New Super Mario Bros U", the second New Super game to release that year. After that, nothing. People were sick of what felt like the same damn game, sure they were passable but it felt emblematic of everything 2D Mario shouldn't be. Then, almost like an angel from the heavens, came Super Mario Bros Wonder; the antithesis of New Super, it had original concepts in boatloads and felt like a proper evolution of 2D Mario. New concepts in spades, so much extra content, brilliant new artstyle in a new kingdom. It feels like going from store bought freezer pancakes from Walmart to a French chef from a 5 michelien star restaurant making you your breakfast.

The Mario & Luigi series, although a cult classic series, never quite got the mainstream attention it deserved. Even with classics like Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, Superstar Saga, the financial backing from the public and internal was just never quite there. After Dream Team (sleeper hit, if you're interested check it out!), it was the beginning of the end with the release of Paper Jam. Reused assets, real basic baby story, padding aplenty, dialogue that hits the senses like pulling teeth (fuckin leave Luigi alone), there's no way this was anything other than a cash grab. A collaboration with Paper Mario too, another cult classic series, it was insulting to both Paper Mario fans and M&L fans. After that, no new original games. Alphadream pumped out two remakes, which are pretty alright, and them they went bankrupt. God bless Alphadream, but the writing was on the wall when they kept making 3DS games long after the Switch came out. It was a dark time, felt clear as light that the M&L series will remain to be past tense and just a footnote in the large conglomerate that is Mario now. Until recently, with the announcement of Brothership; a new spanking game in the M&L series releasing in November of this year.

Genuine generational run Nintendo is going on right now. List could've droned on for easily triple the length, and I might make a sequel to this one day. Could've been even more if i talked about new Nintendo's new IPs or just how much better everything's gotten. It rules we live in this time now, especially after the dark ages of the Wii U.

“Dhani and I were not quite sure how we would feel on November 29th. Sometimes we thought we should be spending the night quietly, but really it was the most perfect thing we could have been doing. […] But it was very emotional… and I think Dhani was some sort of an anchor on that stage, and somehow through him, George was really present.” - Olivia Harrison, BBC Radio, 2009

“My Dad didn’t like to see people upset. He hated it when people weren’t happy when they could be.” - Dhani Harrison, Concert for George, Genesis Publications

“[George’s] words became a constant dialogue to us. Especially lines like: ‘Beware of sadness, it can hit you, it can hurt you
 Make you sore and what is more
 That is not what you are here for.’ So we tried not to be sad, but instead celebrated the life and music of a great artiste, the beautiful ‘quiet’ one from Liverpool who became a man of many words as well as worlds, a wise and coveted friend, father and seeker who transcended the distractions of success and fame to maintain a one-pointed focus upon his goal of spiritual awakening. He did all this while entertaining the world and having an equal measure of fun along the way.” - Olivia Harrison, Concert for George liner notes 

“It was obviously very emotional for me to see [Dhani] up there [at the Concert for George on 29 November 2002] paying tribute to his dad. And listening to George’s words — ‘Beware of sadness/ It can hit you, it can hurt you, make you sore/ And what is more, that is not what you are here for’ — feeling so incredibly sad and trying not to be sad — taking George’s advice.” - Olivia Harrison, Rolling Stone, October 9, 2003 (x)

Ferrari barn-find.

Châssis n° 5787 Moteur n° 5787

- Only 628 examples produced

- In the same family for 56 years!

- Original engine, original colours

- Exceptional restoration project

The register of the 330 GT states that chassis 5787 was manufactured in 1964. It is therefore a desirable series 1 equipped with the 4-speed gearbox with overdrive. In an elegant “Grigio Argento” colour combined with a gorgeous “Nuvola Blue” interior, it was delivered new to the Ferrari agent in Milan, M.G. Crepaldi S.a.s. on the 29th of May 1964 and then sold to Mr Romano in Milan a few days later on the 3rd of June. In October, it went into the hands of another Milanese, then a real estate company before being imported to France in June 1965 and registered on 11th of June in the name of the Lamborghini importer in Paris, Philippe Ernest. Its next owner kept it for 2 years, then took it to VPM in Paris to buy a Lamborghini 400 GT! The current owner’s father acquired on the 1st of August 1967! Since then, the car was driven on numerous trips (especially for holidays on the French Riviera) and serviced by Pozzi and more generally by specialised mechanics. During his visit to Modena for its servicing, the current owner recalls that the vehicle technicians discovered the car was equipped with a self-locking bridge. Driven regularly until the early 2000s, it then had a mileage of 10,574 km in 2002; after that, it was regularly started until around ten years ago, travelling slightly less than 300 km during that period. Stationary since then, this 330 GT 2+2 is complete except for the keys which cannot be found. It has had a traditional paint job while the leather interior is original and superbly preserved. The dashboard is complete with a Blaupunkt car radio of that era and in the boot, the jack and mallet to remove the beautiful Borrani wheels are included. Still fitted with its original engine, this Ferrari has an attractive patina and deserves an engine rebuild so it can return to Grand Touring roads, to which it has been devoted for almost 60 years.

Happy Birthday Everly! 🎂

I was trying to decide (my Fernweh Saga MC) Everly's birthday awhile back ago using this post and this one as a guide, so I decided to try making a timeline, or well, listing the birthdays in order of age anyway.

(The years are just for examples, NOT canon).

So, in order from oldest to youngest (removing Ms. Verner and Mrs. Dorran because I have no idea of their ages):

Mal: May 26th (????-1999), Gemini. ♊ Hawthorn (The Illusionist)

J: July 2nd (1999), Cancer. ♋ Oak (The Stabilizer)

R: November 22nd (1999), Sagittarius (the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp). ♐ Reed (The Inquisitor)

S: February 8th (2000), Aquarius. ♒ Rowan (The Thinker)

Everly: February 29th (2000), Pisces. ♓ Ash (The Enchanter)

B: October 17th (2001), Libra. ♎ Ivy (The Survivor)

A: March 4th (2002-2003), Pisces. ♓ Ash (The Enchanter)

R got the year before S and MC simply because generally that late in the year, if R was born the same example year as the MC (2000), R would have ended up in the school year/grade under MC because the birthday cut off date is usually August or September iirc (if they are in the USA anyway), and if I'm not mistaken they are meant to be in the same grade school year as both S and MC. So keeping them in the same grade got priority over keeping their birthdays in the same year.

I also have it on good authority (I asked the author and got permission to share the answer) that A is younger than B by a year or so and Mal is older than the MC (though I don't know by how much). So Mal gets a range starting with question marks for their birth year, and A got a range that makes them one to two years younger than B.

Forgive me for not tagging Mal but I'd rather tag them by name rather than Waiter and Waitress but since we don't have their names yet I can't tag them.

Editors’ Choice: 

Sometimes you just need a change. This week, we’re recommending some of our favorite alternate universe fics! There are so many great ones that we had trouble narrowing it down, so be sure to share some you love as well!

darling, so it goes (some things are meant to be) by mikaylawrites | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Hey,” Josh says as he approaches his friend, gesturing in the general direction of the stage. “Who is this?” Sam rolls his eyes. “I’m doing well, thank you for asking.” When Josh doesn’t respond, Sam gives him what he wants by responding, “It’s Donna.” “Donna?” “Donna Moss.” The name sounds vaguely familiar, but Josh can’t put his finger on why. “You know, Donna? She and I were on Andy Wyatt’s tour together last fall? She’s the one who said she didn’t believe I could go shot for shot with her at a dive bar after our St. Louis show and ended up having to drag me back to the hotel and put me into bed afterward.” The story of rising country singers Josh Lyman and Donna Moss everybody talks (it started with a whisper) by JessBakesCakes | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | In Progress | Being the White House Press Secretary, Josh realizes, is one of the toughest jobs in the administration to begin with. But with her co-workers' propensity for going viral, CJ certainly deserves a raise. (The West Wing, set 20 years later.) Wear the Crown by sam_writes_fics | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | In Progress | but some knights are meant to wear the crown. and proving worthy of its power is a noble quest indeed. // royalty/fantasy au yeah, me too by smallandblueandloud | Rated G | C. J. Cregg/Andrea Wyatt/Toby Ziegler | Complete | “Josh, what is it?” He’s got his gaze firmly three inches to the left of her face. “Have you been getting the feeling that something’s going on? Something they’re not telling us?” (or, Toby knows something. CJ and Josh don't. They'll be #19 and 20, eventually.) rewrite an ending or two by jazzjo | Rated G | C.J. Cregg/Andrea Wyatt | Complete|  It didn’t do her well to dwell on the reasons why her mornings were the most peaceful part of her day.  It did her even less good to press on the bruise that was her discomfort at leaving after closing.  or, on a clear day you can see forever, and it's the first clear day in years. i think i missed the gun at the starting line by ansatz for heliotropic | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | "I really wanna win this thing." // After qualifying for the Olympics in 2016, but being unable to compete due to an injury, Donna Moss is back, ready to run, and completely focused on earning a medal for Team Canada. Enter Josh Lyman, reigning Olympic champion with a heart of—you guessed it—gold. Two countries, two sports: one chance to fall in love? Flour Dusted Smiles by JediAnnieScrambler | Rated T | C. J. Cregg/Toby Ziegler | Complete | “Did Sam let you in?” Toby asked, crossing the kitchen. CJ jumped between him and the oven, holding her arms out like a shield, “You can’t look in the oven.” “It’s my oven!” “You weren’t supposed to be here until later!” Butterfly is the Worst Stroke by myrmeraki for dogsbreath | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Sam Seaborn | Complete | A snapshot of swimmer Sam and his increasingly tired boyfriend. Yeah I headcanon butterfly to be Sam's favorite stroke, yeah it's also *the* worst stroke, this does not conflict.

We will be reblogging this post to add this week's fics shortly!
