#regardless of where they fall on the other axis

[angelhummel]

Puck/Kurt, Samcedes, Sam/Kurt for the ask game?

Puckurt probably makes the least amount of sense like idk obviously I find them compelling but we're also just working with a handful of crumbs and a metric shitton of fanon here. But yeah idk I still like them uwu

Samcedes is a surprising pair but I think it makes sense and they're good and cute together and I'm happy for most of their canon moments but idk I'm just not crazy about them

Hevans again I'm not crazy about but I do like their friendship and could understand shipping them under like very specific scenarios just for a limited time lol but that's how it is with any nonKlaine Kurt or Blaine ship sooo....

send me a ship!

[felikatze]

ultimately while i adore tristrat beyond belief it does fall into genre typical prejudices that are not any more egregious than its genre compatriots but nonetheless worth adressing as a flaw in the game's worldbuilding and a cheap shot against its storytelling

tldr: frederica should've been black

tristrat excels in actually meaningfully examining prejudice and slavery under a more critical eye than "it's bad, don't do it," mainly that it explores the actual reasoning of it. namely that oppressors do reap benefits from the oppression they enact - here the oppression of the roselle is the key pillar to hyzante's prosperity. first, the roselle are a cheap workforce for backbreaking labor no one is willing to enact themselves. the hyzantians can turn to more leisurely and educated pursuits in science while ignoring the reality of hard labor. secondly the oppression of the roselle's history allows hyzante a monopoly on a precious resource, salt, which it uses rosellan labor to extract.

cheap labor + monopoly on the land's resources = profit

the motif of "the rosellan people are hated by the goddess and must forever atone for their sins" was then posed in retrospect as a justification for hyzante's stranglehold on resources, which then seeped into the culture and teachings of the country until the roselle were naught but sinners.

the roselle are light skinned and the hyzantians are arabs.

fuck, even the good hyzantians are light skinned. there are two dark skinned playable hyzantian characters (geela and quahag), whereas there are three playble light skinned hyzantians (archibald, corentin, medina), and one dark skinned non-hyzantian character (hossbara). Of note here is that quahag is literally one of tge three last characters you can unlock, and Geela is the only dark skinned main character (compared to 6 light skinned characters)

Frederica's story and her frustrations ring incredibly true to real world struggles for liberty (e.g. the people being exploited for lithium in congo, the blm movement), especially in frederica's mounting frustrations that she keeps being told to "wait just a bit longer". It is never the right time for her people to stop being slaves because the ruling class have other things to do first, when she knows more of her people are dying every single goddamn day. This anger being portrayed as rightous, being a core driving force of lategame plot, and being rightfully enacted in the golden route is rather novel for video games, mainly for ones i've seen.

I also appreciate the dive into religion as a tool of oppression - it is never relevant whether the Goddess actually exists. It is only relevant that faith in her and her teachings is used to chain the Roselle.

And yet Frederica's story rings just a tad hollow with her being as snow-white as all the rest - her struggle speaks deeply to POC using a white person as a mouthpiece, much how POC struggle to find respect unless a white person points the prejudice out first, regardless of how long and loudly POC were advocating for themselves first.

Tristrat falls into that same trap of ultimately having the rightous white defeat the dastardly arab. When really, there is no real reason the Roselle and other Hyzantian characters should not be as dark skinned as the rest. Even in real life, skin color is not the only axis of oppression, and you'll find no shortage of examples in the SWANA region that the west would both consider POC, because the label of POC only really holds any value in the west, where whiteness represents the cultural majority.

I bring this up not to say POC naturally oppress each other, but to illustrate that Tristrat's real world implications draw on a "reverse racism" angle - white people being enslaved by brown people, as it absolutely has not been for all of human history in any systemic measure. And this angle could've been entirely avoided by not making the Roselle white.

Additionally, Hyzante, again, the only country with multiple POC, is portrayed as the most villanous, particularly in the endgame and golden route. Isodore, Hyzante's religious leader, is the final boss of the golden route. With Hyzante being the only religious country as well, it brings to mind the demonization of Islam as a uniquely oppressive force when any religion can and has been used to the same end. Islam is not unique in this and should not be demonized for Islamic regimes, just as Christianity is largely not demonized for its use in justifying imperialism.

The imperialist capitalist force is of course represented by Aesfrost and Gustadolph, who believes in the free hand of the market. I have less to say on this than the whole Hyzante thing though I do find an examination of Aesfrost as capitalist and Hyzante as communist interesting. The worst of both worlds, obviously, with the unified Norzelia deciding to share all resources freely between all countries as needed representing something of a socialist dream.

Anyways, it's odd to me that Gustadolph is more or less a stepping stone in the Golden Ending compared to Isodore, when Gustadolph's conquest of Glenbrook is the catalyst for all events of the game. Again earlygame it's all against Aesfrost, with the player even allying with Hyzante by either force or choice depending on the route, yet the leaf turns the entire other way to ally with Aesfrost against Hyzante.

Maybe it's a JRPG prediliction to god killing but it is overall something to note that Hyzante is the final villain, meaning the villain most likely to stick in the player's memory.

I think I ran out of words I think my point got across. Tristrat handles the subject incredibly well and in nuance yet the ties to actual reality are muddled, weakened, and opposed by the character design which ultimately ends with the white people being in the right to defeat the evil arabs when this could've been avoided by making the Roselle POC as well, as they should really be by geographical logic, and it would've allowed Frederica's character much greater real world resonance.

Also sidenote it's fatphobic that the fat characters are all greedy moneygrubbers (Lionel, Sorsley, Silvio) even if Lionel is one of the good guys.

That's all goodnight

[cmaidaartworkblog]

Some months ago, I created a series of maps and diagrams for @iguanodont​​‘s Birdbug worldbuilding project, representing the planet inhabited by their original species and its planetological data. This isn’t the first time I mapped out this planet, as I was also commissioned by Ripley back in 2020 back when I didn’t have nearly as much experience and knowledge as I do now. Two years later, I’ve been commissioned once again to revisit this world and its peculiarities.

This first map (in Equirectangular projection and poles-centered perspective) depicts the elevation for this planet, with a color gradient applied to the data.

Here is the same elevation data, presented without the color gradient.

This time, the elevation is presented with bodies of liquid water included, such as rivers, oceans, and lakes.

and in this one, the water is isolated from the other data, against a white background

Next, there are the surface temperatures that occur on this planet, the key to which is shown above. The four maps below show the seasonal temperatures for land and sea, in order of Northern Spring Equinox, Northern Summer Solstice, Northern Autumn Equinox, and Northern Winter Solstice.

Correlating closely to the above data is the snow and ice cover, which is fairly extensive on this planet owing to its high obliquity and distance from its star. Land ice only occurs where the snow falls and is compacted year-round, but snow and sea ice can be much more seasonal.

Seasonal precipitation levels were another important phase of this project, and the below diagram shows those levels for a given latitude (y-axis) on a given date (x-axis), with a key attached.

My reference for creating the above graphic is the figure below, which comes from a 2019 paper by A.H. Lobo and S. Bordoni titled “Atmospheric Dynamics of High Obliquity Planets”, and shows Earth’s precipitation levels compared to those of a planet with an 85° obliquity.

The following maps can now be better understood in light of these diagrams and keys.

-Northern Spring Equinox

-Northern Summer Solstice

-Northern Autumn Equinox

-Northern Winter Solstice

I was also tasked with mapping out the extent and density of this planet’s vegetation (or at least its alien equivalent), and from this you can see how wildly it varies by season, with very few year-round holdings. Precipitation is a major factor in where it is possible for plants to flourish, but snow cover and the extreme temperature swings limit it too. Near either pole, for example, within the space of a year temperatures soar far above Earth’s upper limits and also plummet below freezing; if either extreme were to be the annual norm for a region, some plants might adapt to those conditions, but because of the wild fluctuation any adaptations to one extreme would leave plants especially vulnerable to the other. These regions, then, remain barren regardless of rainfall or brief windows of mild temperatures, while areas with less wide temperature ranges allow for at least brief periods of flourishing.

Determining the surface temperatures for this planet required a lot of background work. The first piece of the puzzle for this was knowing the number of daily hours of sunlight for a given latitude and date, which is exemplified first in this diagram for Earth:

and then for the Birdbug planet, below. Since this planet rotates on an axis of 60 degrees, there are many more latitudes within range of either pole that experience periods of sunlight and darkness lasting longer than a day. The higher the latitude, the longer this period lasts, with the poles themselves experiencing either condition for half a year at a time.

Another important factor is the height to which the sun is seen to rise (more scientifically, the angle at which the sun’s light hits parts of the planet’s surface), seen here first for Earth and then for the Birdbug planet. In these diagrams, white represents the sun reaching the zenith of the sky (meeting the surface at a 90° angle), and black represents the sun failing to appear above the horizon (meeting at an angle of 0° or below), while shades of green and purple stand in for angles between those extremes. For Earth and the Birdbug planet alike, the sun reaches the zenith within the bounds of either planet’s Tropic circles of latitude, and fails to rise at all only within the Polar circles of latitude; the difference in obliquity means that the Birdbug planet’s key circles of latitude are flipped compared to Earth’s.

The duration of sunlight and the angle at which that sunlight is reaches the planet’s surface determine a planet’s Insolation, that is, the amount of solar energy it receives. The first image below is a preexisting diagram of Earth’s Insolation, where it is measured in watts per square meter. The next two images are my own attempts at replicating this data for Earth, and then for the Birdbug planet.

As seen in the diagrams above, Insolation on the Birdbug planet differs from Earth not only in its latitudinal distribution, but also in its sheer intensity at the higher latitudes. Compared to Earth there are twice as many latitudes for which the sun is shining longer than one rotational period, and many of those latitudes see the sun shine at a direct or nearly direct angle, whereas the Polar circles of latitude on Earth see the sun shine much more obliquely. Below, we can see the data that all the above figures were instrumental in finding: that is, surface temperatures. The first image is a preexisting figure that measures Earth’s mean surface temperatures by date and latitude, and below that is my attempt at replicating the data by my own process.

This is done not by just copying the seasonal Insolation data, but by also factoring in the yearly average for each latitude.

Above, we see the temperatures of the land by date and latitude, and below, we see the temperatures at the surface of the sea, which lag behind the land temperatures and remain comparatively mild.

Lastly, here’s an image I created to combine the snow and ice cover as well as the vegetation extent and density, as of the Northern Spring Equinox.  This, along with the elevation map also seen here, is what I uploaded to maptoglobe.com in order to produce the screenshot at the top of this post.

These maps and figures (except for the preexisting ones) were all created in Photopea.  Higher resolution versions of many of these images can be seen in my dedicated Reddit posts, linked below: reddit post one, reddit post two

💎🪞Venus Observations #3 🪞💎

I’ve previously made other posts related to Venus in close aspects to Neptune and Ketu/South Node, so I feel inclined to discussing the effects of this planet interacting with Rahu/North Node.

It is important to keep in mind that if Venus is being aspected by Ketu/South Node, then Rahu/North Node will also be involved but the effects are definitely distinct from each other. Specifically if its a conjunction/opposition.

Rahu/North Node represents what our soul wants to develop further in this lifetime. The house and sign will be one the themes that you naturally feel driven towards in an almost obsessive way, and you will be very much aware of this. The nature of this “shadow planet” is to create a laser focus on your life, regardless of what path you try to take, Rahu/North Node will ensure you can’t ignore it.

Individuals with planets conjunct Rahu/North Node will be in a way eclipse or swallowed by the “head of the dragon” and display an almost uncontrollable growth in the themes represented by the planet, since it likes to exacerbate everything it touches. Meaning, if you have this point touching Mars your drive will be immense, as well as your sexual desires, conflicts, impulsiveness, ambition, etc.

When Venus comes into the play you will also notice how regardless of what you do, it seems impossible to get your head to stop obsessing with topics of love, beauty, art, pleasure, and everything that relates to this planet.

I’ve noticed these individuals tend to have an almost physical need to create and have no shame to put themselves out there, or to pursue this desire. In fact, they need it in order to release their emotions and it will function as a way to alleviate, soothe, and express themselves.

If they don’t come from a family that’s wealthy, they will find themselves attracting wealth quite easily, as Rahu/North Node will ensure you obtain material success since it has a focus on what you must achieve in this earthly plane. Actually, it will make it almost impossible for you to not focus entirely on this unless you have A LOT of earth energy or Saturn aspects.

They fall in love hard, and almost obsessively. They will also attract lovers who will feel this way as well. Since Ketu/South Node creates the need to detach and let go, it is Rahu/North node’s duty to cause the entirely opposite effect. Relationships may also play an important factor or have an impact when it comes to your wealth as well.

They also struggle with seeing the faults in their loved ones to a point where it’s detrimental to their health. Rahu/North Node creates a hunger that feels almost impossible to satisfy, or at least until they pour all that energy into themselves and their art. It can also be easy for them to click with other individuals who have Rahu/North Node aspects, as they feel deeply understood and accepted.

Rahu/North Node also rules the internet and social media, so it will be easy for them to gain a lot of followers or people who want to keep up with what they are doing. This energy is intense and difficult to control until Venus matures (around 25 years old) and Rahu/North Node (42 years old) as well. It is common for the native to be a serial dater during their early life due to their lack of satisfaction and impulsive nature. Pretty much a “zero thoughts, only vibes” and “I’m all in” type of energy until the native grows weary of repeating the same cycles.

They might even reach a point of wanting to detach from everything related to Venus, but even when they do try, life will keep throwing them into complicated situations that will force them to grow and somewhat stabilize this energy with the help of Ketu/South Node.

It is important to keep in mind that, this axis exists so we can find a balance between the skills we’ve already developed in a past life, and the ones that are meant to be mastered in this one. Leaning too much in one or the other will keep on bringing difficulties until acceptance is reached. Life is like the ocean tides, and learning to flow with it all makes the journey much easier.

I feel like every genre has potential interesting intersections with others.

An example: I think fairytale logic and the cosmic horror genre can interplay interestingly.

The thing about fairytales, is that doing the right thing produces consistent results. This makes sense when many of the widely known adaptations have a deliberate moral. But it isn't just a moral teaching.

If a hero has a shining sword that can vanquish any evil, he is going to beat the dragon. The text of this is generally somewhat anticlimactic; it is a foregone conclusion. The properties of the sword are the instruction to fulfillment. You received it from the witch in the forest, washed it in the fairies' spring, and you paid respects for it by the mulberry tree in the middle of the wasteland; you are going to succeed. As surely as objects fall to the earth according to their weight, as surely as the planets go around the sun.

But this is not usually limited to the heroes. Fairytales are often about very specific instructions. The world is governed by rules. Those rules weren't made with your comfort and reassurance as their primary goal. You can sell your tongue to the sea witch for a chance to be with the man you love. Only a chance. And the price for the way back is his heart, if he won't give it to you willingly. You can have the child you desperately wanted... but if you try to have two, one of those children will bear the weight of your selfish greed.

The cosmic horror genre is a genre about reckoning with the void. There is nothing out there. Or if there is something there, it does not personally love you. We, Earth, are not the center of reality. We may be fleas clinging for our lives on the back of larger animals that don't care if we live or die.

So... if you combine those together, in my thinking, it goes something like this.

The rules exist. They may have been written by Something Beyond. They may simply be True. But regardless, they are Rules. They are rules, and they do not actively stop you from breaking them, but there will always be a price to pay. For you. For an ant. For the cosmic thing above.

A great example of this, IMO, is in Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men where the fairy queen turns into a monster whale from a story Tiffany knows to chase her. But Tiffany argues that this actually limits the queen- because in the story, the whale is always chasing the sailor. So if the sailor flees, the queen must chase him, or else she is not the whale anymore, and loses its power.

It's a conceptual knot of the idea that the universe is fundamentally fair. Not in a way that was designed for us- because there is so much more than us out there, and that wouldn't 'truly be fair' to everything else, but in that it is unrelentingly evenhanded.

Some things are simply True. They can level kingdoms, dry seas, drown deserts, fling planets off their axis into the void, and we, in the dark, tap our fingers along their edges to find the shape of them.

[shini--chan]

Hello, I was wondering if I could request headcanons for the axis’ (separate) darlings were friends? Would they keep them separated or allow them to meet?

Yandere Axis - Cammeraderie

The three main Axis members - Germany, Italy and Japan would definitely allow their "lovers" to meet. Of course, matters wouldn't be totally smooth between the personifications or you and your comrades, yet everybody would see it as more beneficial than not.

Kiku contently watched his friends and their partners. It was one of those times when they had all found time to meet and chat, something that was possible less and less, with how hectic the world had become. Though maybe it was exactly because of that. Officially, Germany and Italy had come to Tokyo to view the Formula 1 race taking place this weekend and for a flurry of conferences where a lot of talk happened but nothing got done.

Japan seized the knee of his darling giving it a warning squeeze. The conversation next to him had become to quiet, the two voices falling down to a whisper. Germany had seated his partner next to y/n in order to avoid Italy taking the chance to hit on the beauty. Though, both knew that if Italy really wanted to flirt, he would flirt regardless of Germany's concerns.

Either way, the point was that while friendship was encouraged between the three recent additions, they weren't allowed to become to close. Dissent was still a problem, especially since Ludwig had only recently acquired his beloved, and said beloved wasn't inclined to be a door mat.

A familiar, pretty face turned his way, carefully schooled to be placid and polite, even if the tense set of your shoulders betrayed fear. You raised your eyebrow in askance: ‚What are you concerned about?‘

He simply eyed the person you were seated next to, who was also peering at him. You didn’t have to turn around to know what he was looking at. Jutting his chin forward, he conveyed: ‘Don’t get to close.’

Despite not being aware of the exact non-verbal messages being passed, said companion seemed to catch the drift. Keen eyes narrowed and glared at Kiku with their owner shuffling closer to you in the attempt to whisper in your ear. Not that he was having any of that. Wrapping his arm around your waist, he pulled you closer, possessively pressing you against him, and allowed his gaze to drift to Ludwig and then back to the offending party.

‘Want me to tell him? I will if you continue’ he indicated, emphasizing his point by allowing a small smirk to play in the corner of his lips. Ludwig was lost in conversation with Feliciano and his partner, the talk lively and attention-grabbing, as it ever was when Italy became opinionated. Yet that could all change, because Kiku’s word carried weight and Germany would listen to him.

Japan would be seen by both Italy and Germany as the most trustworthy and the least inclined to steal their partners. The story would be different between Italy and Germany – Ludwig would be constantly be plagued by the thought that his unwilling lover would find Feliciano more charming and suave and then leave him for the Italian. Not to mention that if Italy would be angry with Germany for whatever reason, he would be inclined to play on these fears.

Austria would prefer to avoid the other axis members, especially Italy. Germany would be tolerable company in his eyes, but only because he knows the boy is as awkward to love as it comes. This would stem on part from his own insecurities, on part from thinking himself above them.

Romano wouldn’t dare let you near his younger brother, but everybody else is welcome to visit, one the condition that they don’t stay long and that there is constant surveillance – that would be one of the only ways to sooth the Italian’s feelings.

Weekly Roundup: Prompts (I fucked up but that's like from one week ago)

Tsukihime

Diferent Anon than the current Tsukihime petplay one, I offer the oppisite: Arcuied puts Ciel down like old yeller, is delighted that she can old yeller her over and over again.

Arcueid is convinced she's a kitty girl and thus gets deeply offended when every "what animal are you" quiz she takes tells her she's a golden retriever (which she is)

Arcueid becoming Neco Arc played completely straight as some sort of horrofic Jekyll and Hyde style transformation.

Kohaku starts a recruitment drive for new maids for the mansion, and everyone (regardles of gender or even species) in Misaki Town finds themselves drafted - whether they like it or not

Fate/Zero

Waver gets a break for once

Fate/Extra

Smut, Someone attempts to hack BB, but the super AI is far too above such petty human tricks. She definitely resisted all the attempts to change her personality and her perception of normal, as you can tell by the fact that her panties have massive dildos spreading her vagina and her ass at any and all times, just like she definitely always has and didn't suddenly start doing the day of the for sure failed hacking attempt. She's also definitely always loved having her face fucked by men and women and enbies alike, as is perfectly normal. Her face is meant to pleasure anyone and everyone who wants her to! Gosh, that's just logic. It's why she has a mouth and throat and tongue in the first place!

Smut, Mostly I just have a hypnosis kink and enjoy the idea that a machine can only do what it's programmed to do, regardless of what it was programmed to do yesterday. Anyway BB gets a software update and "remembers" that it's polite for her to eat her Master out every day, especially because her Master for sure didn't make her think that was normal, because it just always was.

Kama and/or Kiara face their greatest challenge yet: someone who is asexual. The Beasts of Lust lose and lose hard.

Smut, Nero bondage (I think it still counts if it's something that prevents them from moving) where she forces another character into the Roman Candle Execution Method they pioneered IRL - aka trapping them in a wax coating that restricts their movement (here with the exception of the various body holes) with the caveat that holes are unsealed so Nero can have sex with them. May or may not involve the person/ candle actually being set alight or suffocating in the wax during being fucked The person doesn't actually have to die.

Fate/Stay Night

Archer grows tits. He's still male. He's still a dude, he's masc, he's comfortable being called a man. But now he has tits and he likes them. Anyways now instead of fourth place for biggest chest he's second only to Passionlip.

Hopping off of the archer spontaneously grows tits anon from earlier- he is now the first axis man to get a swimsuit alt because of it.

Guinevere gets summoned, and Lancelot tries to leave her alone to avoid starting any drama, only for Guinevere to demand to see him because she never stopped loving him

Fate/Apocrypha

Astolfo, in a rare moment of lucidity, congratulating someone on their transition. Ideally, phrased ambiguously enough to make it unclear what sort of trans they are, or how far in the transition they are, just that Astolfo is happy with the progress and glad for them to have moved closer to their truth.

Sieg, having been alive and independent for less than a week and whose closest friends are Jeanne and Astolfo, thinks that wearing feminine clothing is completely normal. Upon being summoned to Chaldea, promptly tries on those cute skirts Asolfo likes to wear.

Sieg and Astolfo sleep together. Not as in the euphemism-for-sex sense, they just fall asleep in the same bed cuddling each other, high emphasis on them being physically affectionate and tender and also adorable.

FGO

Smut, Several servants whose claim to fame includes "good at sex" decide to try and figure out who is best at it. They need an impartial judge to agree to get fucked silly by all of them. Gudao/Gudako "mysteriously" goes missing not long after (spends the next weeks getting fucked into the ground by all of them).

Guda finally after everything gets a nice peaceful-ish death! Unfortunately instead of immediately being sent to any after life they have to be isekai'd (again seriously for real this time) so the various afterlife reps can have a custody battle over their immortal soul...

Smut, Nitocris under her Medjed sheet, maintaining the perfect poise and bearing of a pharaoh, exactly the same as all days. Which is rather impressive, seeing as the only thing she's wearing under it is a dildo up her ass. Heavy emphasis on how genuinely nobody else knows anything is any different than usual, with the possible exception of her girlfriend Scheherazade. Who might've been involved in the escapade.

I wanna see Blackbeard covered in blood. Whether it be defending his collection, saving his master, reenactment of his death or that one Black Sails scene, getting his red wings etc I don't care. I just want that nerd drippin in the red stuff

we have fairy knights of the round. but there should be a round table of dogs , naturally lead by Sir Cavall II

There's only room for one loud angry trans man in Chaldea! Mordred and Caenus duke it out! Whether or not the "sparring match" devolves into furious sex afterwards is up to the writer.

BB decides to host a reality show with challenges.. but every challenge is cruel one way or another, like facing your worst fears… BUT IT IS TEN TIMES WORSE. The prize for winning is getting to bed Gudao AND a grail

WG Scenario where after Flauros possessed Lev, he started losing weight from not eating as much as his host used to. Roman points this out during a checkup and it makes Flauros paranoid that this sudden change will make the Chaldeans suspicious of him and realize their coworker has been taken over. So he starts eating more to gain back the weight but overdoes it and winds up as big as Goredolf. Bonus points if a Chaldean hits on him as he gains more but it just makes him think they're onto him.

Smut, heeey maybe the watsonian reason why shiva isn't available for summoning is because there's quite a lot of woman at chaldea interested in pegging him , in addition to teaching Kali & Durga about femdom.. and you have gudako , who is gonna put him in a mating press or die trying.

Morgan and Mash have been in a sexual relationship for a bit now, which they excuse as just being a casual thing (Not the right way to court a queen after all, that’d be incredibly improper…), except Mash has started accidentally picking up her fashion cues with the black lace, occasional blue lipstick, and- oh that’s a collar. Nobody wants to say anything, even if it’s congratulatory, as they don’t wanna get Berserker-looped.

Smut, Everyone has their own sexual rhythm for providing penetration, but Lancelot (Saber)’s is Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake, and it really weirds Raikou out, because he legitimately doesn’t realize.

the realization that kadoc has fully grown accustomed to chaldea's chaos did not occur when he started a pirate radio station with jalter in order to put BB channel out of buisness, instead the realization hits kadoc when he accidentally calls archer moriarty Dad. and to make things even more funny , fran is cool with having kadoc as a foster brother.

Woodwose somehow ends up at a furry convention

The reason why Blackbeard hate for fighting and actually working is because his thirst for piracy was what made him abandon his wife and lose his life. So in a Dodrinya type situation Chaldea summons Edward Teach(B.B. true name), the greatest pirate who has ever lived, and it's Blackbeard's wife and they have an awkward reunion

all the doctor servants just fucken die due to the amount of apples gudao/gukao consume in this up coming lotte events. they then respawn after the two weeks are up and promptly beat they to death with medical supple.

Consider, Sex Pollen, but Guda is allergic to pollen.

Oberon gets fucked until he starts calling himself Titania.

All the lostbelt kings are lamenting the loss of their lostbelt together, except for Qin who just came back from their own perfect recreation of their lostbelt and is confused on why they’re all sad

since gudako and Morgan are married this means Sith becomes an sibling older due to gudako's kids(kid Gil, Illyea, nursery and jack). Jack super happy to have an older sibling but Sith is against this until jack brings her black-beards head because he was talking mad shit about her older sister. Sith now responds when jack calls her big sis and calls her litte sister from that day on.

Kiara tries to tempt an ace Gudako with garlic bread. Gudako can't eat gluten so the attempt fails miserably.

Noncon, incest, I can't take this anymore I need to see Duryodhana's stupid loser ass get nonconed by Bhima or by a mob I don't care he just deserves to get put in his place (bonus points if you use his line for getting hit by np)

Its Mother's Day in chaldea and in a bit of a twist Morgan gives presents to her phh children since she feels bad for what she did in their timeline

someone be insane about hanahaki with me, theres a botanical fucking garden in ritsuka fujimaru's lungs and people who some of the flowers grow for are dead aaaaaahhh. none of that "its only curable if they love you back" or "removing the flowers kills your ability to feel" though. guda has to get rid of the flowers in their lungs and they gotta confess to do that but again, many of the people they grow flowers for are dead by gudas own hand from the lostbelts going down.

Bradamante is the de facto straightman of the Paladins of Charlemagne, but when left to her own devices/is without any of her ilk, she’s as much off a silly bimbo as the rest of them

Now summoned as a servant rather than a full fairy, Barghest discovers that she no longer gets sick from eating chocolate, and that she has an INCREDIBLE sweet tooth. In order to satiate her appetite, she gets Medb to channel Knocknarea’s spirit origin for access to her chocolate fields, in exchange for Barghest now serving as her Hound and Brave. Cue a Petplay/Weight Gain scenario about their treat-based relationship economy.

Smut, Koyanskaya’s tail isn’t real, it’s a buttplug (of egregiously large proportions, but that’s beside the point), and she’s started selling them. If you keep it in however, a set of Fox ears begin to grow, and your teeth begin to sharpen… hey, what do you mean Gudako just got gifted one?!

Silly omegaverse courtship between master and castoria where guda is desperately trying to court this beautiful fairy idiot with elaborate rock art that is too circular for her tastes, all the food they can make safely while severely impaired from rutbrain, random objects they think she would like, and eventually when they manage to create cool rock art that pleases the lady a sick ass breakdance. Whether or not they fuck in the end is up to you I just like versegm's ideas

Kingprotea practicing to control her strength so she can safely give her Master a headpat. Lots of practice dummies get varying degrees of comically destroyed as she carefully dials it in.

All the Sakuraface servants get summoned all at the same time sharing Sakura's body. Sakura's many many new headmates get up to comedic hijinks as they spend so much time fighting each other for control that Sakura's actually not really stopped from doing anything.

FGO again

Smut, Tai Gong Wang valentines but he actually goes through with what he was alluding to and we are treated to him and Guda having steamy outdoor sex (Guda's gender,.kinks, who tops, ect. is up to the writer)

Smut, Post Valentine's Gudako confronts Oberon over his shitty return gift. The two argue ending in hate sex. What happens next is up to the writer but it's gotta end with Oberon, completely sucked try, exhausted, and questioning if Gudako is related to the Merlins in some way (i.e part succubi)

Smut, You think Gudako is a top? WRONG! She's actually a hardcore masochist that loves being dominated. The crueler the partner, the better.

Let’s stop putting the pining on Mash, let Morgan be the one who has to search endlessly for her first knight whom she no longer remembers.

Okita, noticing that her coughing has only gotten worse to the point that she can no longer fight, begs Nobu to take her head. Nobu does not know what to do

Nightingale, known magic denier, is summoned under the caster class on accident, and is forced to learn how to do wizard/magical girl stuff. She gains a couple ranks in the Insanity skill by proxy.

Artoria stops Medb from consuming a pot brownie, finds out it's "forever weed" laced and has to try and hide the fact that she's super high from Merlin, every member of the round table in chaldea, Morgan, guinevere and other who have somehow been summoned by medb just for this occasion and the master themself

Due to their bond Gudako ends up seeing Angra's memories in her Dreams, specifically who he was before becoming the incarnation of all evil and the torture they did to turn him into that

guda this explaining pronouns to an older servant(whoever you want) while jack is in the room minutes later jack says they want to be non-binary because it represent all the kids that make them up and it sound cool.

loli, Sherlock begs Helena to put him on a leash and collar and walk him around and Helena decides to overperform by taking him out through the Chaldea halls late at night. Humiliation and being out to the writers discretion

Smut, Tamamo and her Master (Hakuno, Gudako, I ain't too picky) engage in BDSM for the first time, with Tamamo as the dom. Tamamo has the experience, though, and so teaches her Master about how it usually goes and how safe words work and such. Lots of emphasis on the process of teaching a newbie how to engage in the kink safely.

The trauma of the Lostbelts actually gets to Ritsuka. They end up repressing the memories of certain events (Mash's death, the destruction of the Lostbelts, fight with ORT, ect.), and would have moments where they disassociate. It gets worse after the Olympus lostbelt as they then would occasionally lay in bed unresponsive for hours to even days.

(writer chooses how the servants deal with this, and wether they want to go full angst, hurt/comfort, ect.)

columbus rolls the worst joint ever witnessed by man god and demon and is immediately executed for it

Canonically not understanding how to treat mental health issues, Nightingale prescribes Gudako bimbofication pills

oberon gifts morgan a gift of just bugs. Now he’s being chased by the faerie knights and now gudako must at least stop them from murdering oberon for his antics

kriemhild wants sieg to change his name. the next day, turns out his name is Hans Schmidt now. And kriemhild has to tell sieg that ‘no, he didn’t have to change his name’

ABDL - Raikou gets fed up with how pervy and non-innocent Gudako acts, and decides she'll have to fuck her until her mind regresses to a more innocent age.

Izou and Ryouma get stuck in myhouse.wad

Fujimaru gets summoned in Requiem, recognizes Erice who is extremly confused about it.

Cu gets into an argument with salter rider maid supreme, decides to one up her at maiding. Not one hell of a butler, one hell of a MAID. He is wearing a MAID dress and doing maid stuff to be clear hear. Shenanigans ensue. He can fuck around along the way if he wants. But he must defeat Salter at maid shit. Any version of cu but setanta is cool for this.

Any fandom

Any character getting turned into a small dress up doll and then being dressed up.

not quite a prompt fill but like, as to how mutting could work(reverse bitching that was requested a while back that mod named) i think it could happen if you just kept your face in peoples holes for long as you can as frequently as you can. eat pussy/ass like you get paid by the hour to do it. probably through someone elses heat or even your own. until you grow a cock to fuck them with. or just become an alpha. whichever is cooler for you.

Some sort of mystical force gets fed up with all the various non-berserk, completely coherent berserkers and decides to rectify that. As practise, it drains Jalter's mind and sanity and increases her physical fitness to the point she makes Heracles look like a reasonable little shrimp

[incarnateirony]

Hi, it's the "why do you think Bobo is on the Winchesters" anon again. I've gone back through your blog to try to figure out what your response meant but I hope you'll forgive me for needing a bit of clarification?

It seems like you're saying that Robbie drew Jensen a chart at some point, which is based on the chart that you linked me to in my last ask--I tried to look back on your blog to see where this info is from but I couldn't find anything. Where did you see/hear about Robbie drawing Jensen this chart?

And you're also saying that you gave this chart originally to Bobo (in public?) and that he must have given it to Robbie, and that's how it got to Robbie?

I promise I am actually trying to follow you but, I mean this in the nicest way, you are really hard to follow sometimes.

Robbie literally mentioned it in an interview.

The chart was given to Bobo, in public, new years eve, as I had older drafts (not the net 4 draft, I found that in public early February, as I've said many times) and saw what they were struggling over. Because, while bnfs like jus and charcubed refuse to peep about it now, or why they're doubling down so hard on the Chuck Won take complete with graphics right now, we'd had the same arguments in development for a month or two early 2021.

So I shoveled it to him, hell somewhere it's in my blog I just don't remember what I tagged it. I'd screenshot the convo again but you know, some uneducated buffoon sent william shatner and the trekkies at me to report bomb my account before Mark Pellegrino disappeared in a mist, cancelled 3 cons, and now has a gap until JULY on attendance. But that's totally unrelated. Nothing ever connects in these people's universes if the dots are inconvenient to connect. Either way, I can't pull my shit to source it to you. Sorry. If you wanna dig my blog to find the receipt that's fine.

Regardless, in an article, it was discussed that Jensen and Robbie were sitting in the car watching the filming of the prequel, and it was said, "we can't do it like this." (summarily, the linear post-15.18 bubble would leave us to either undo the finale entirely, which they didn't want to do, or make us watch dean die on a tack again literally.)

Robbie then, per the article, drew Jensen a chart on pathwork, which declared reshoots. Some were done on the spot since they were just kinda. There already, which is also why the pilot filming ran like 3+ weeks. Then, authors were brought in to craft out the rest of the series, at which point Bobo continued to be engaged, hence talking about Better Call Saul early May, when writing shit really starts moving. That's *why* Better Call Saul ended up evoked in later articles. Then, other reshoots were saved for fall when everybody was able to be back together again, hence visiting the graveyard again and stuff (because the angulature of Roxy was also nudged.)

This is *when* "Follow the Path of 1 Towards Heaven" integrated, as well as moving dean to the axis mundi liminally and going into the deeper perspective game imagination of it.

People *refusing to follow and onboard information does not remove the reality of it.* And frankly I don't feel compelled to dig through dozens of dozens of dozens of articles to find something I posted and pointed at half a year ago while nobody paid attention. I'm well past doing that level of emotional labor for people that are only asking a year late into the news cycle to deal with their own disillusionments. I'm a person, not a pez dispenser.

Congrats. THAT is the Truth. And fandom better start processing shit REAL fuckin quick.

I repeat. Jensen isn't the only one that can pull a long con.

amazing what you can accomplish if you listen first, understand second, and argue last if ever. Almost like I spent years building rapport with and trying to reinstate fandom's good faith in the authors for a reason, and always magically had insight about their intentions that was correct no matter how many Big Headed Idiot Consumers That Think They're ITK From M&Gs And Coffeerunners screamed at me for years. I listened. I saw. I understood the struggle. I updated the package. It changed the result. Berens openly talked about it but nobody listened.

Now everyone's plugging their ears in denial like it's gonna stop the train running them over. Or acting like how close Robbie and Bobo have been for years is an element you can hide, or their plot sharing, whether while they both worked in Carver era or Bobo carrying on Robbie's story elements as far as season 15, and people making confused monkey sounds that maybe Robbie and Bobo talk sometimes and share ideas, as normal human beings do. Because you forget they're human beings.

Robbie is, per their own words, the rose to bobo's jack. catch a FUCKING clue, numpties. Like Oh My God They Were Roommates besties. And you're just scratching your FUCKING heads because you can't compute the authors being real people might influence the stories they tell together.

like seriously dude. You're basically asking "HEY, BEYOND ALL THE STUFF IN PUBLIC OR IN ARTICLES, CAN YOU *PROVE* TO ME THAT THESE TWO BEST FRIENDS ACTUALLY TALK TO EACH OTHER?" who the FUCK are YOU. You want the answer? PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION.

Yes, I know you were being polite in this ask TECHNICALLY, but polite doesn't mean genuine. I'm fucking tired. I'm tired of people deleting the authenticity of the authors as people from the conversation, like they're some fucking primal force that exists only in the internet generating TV for you. A lot of this shit was perfectly public access information and I still need to apparently explain it over and over and over and over and over again, and the same dumb motherfuckers that screamed over me about these issues for 5 years while being proven wrong again and again have escalated to continuous doxxing attempts, but sure. Nothing's happening. Whatever.

Literally. You guys are fucking exhausting. There's a reason Robbie calls this shit revenge. Fucking pop off and rip this whole fandom a new asshole, king. Every fucking lane. I want this place to look like swiss cheese by the time you're done. Gaping dry-fucked ostiums for all.

@bringxthexfirexmultimusesx​​​​​​​​ said :  “Without you, I will never be whole.” [From: Deku]          『 THESE TWO AAAAAAA || Accepting 』

           Izuku never failed to surprise Eijiro, hadn’t from the moment they’d met. Never failed to make his heart skip a beat, and feel himself fall head over heels for the other all over again.

           Now was no different, with a single sentence making his world turn its axis, and guide him to look to his beloved with the most awed and reverent gaze.

          “Really?” Ah, but did he truly need to ask? No, he knew it to be true. Complete an utter honesty, regardless of this Izuku’s life and who he was exactly. Not that Eijiro would fret all that much about it. He’d understood and accepted it, accepted Izuku in his entirety. Accepted the man who came from a whole other world, who may have caused his self back then to worry plenty of what harboring him to entail and, sure, caused a bit of trouble for him, but now...well, he’d long since come to realize that, without a shadow of a doubt, it was the best decision he’d ever made.

         “The same goes for me...y’know that?” A hand reached out, to gently cup that beautiful face with all the tenderness in the world. “You have no idea how much I thank whatever deity’s out there that you showed up before me that day.” Even if the being Eijiro knew full well deserved every ounce of his devotion was Izuku, and Izuku alone- “You’ve become so important to be, I...” He managed a laugh, moving to press a kiss to the other’s forehead, nose, then a final one on his lips.

         “I can’t begin to imagine a world where we’d never met. And I could never bear having to live one without you.”

ENG William had fallen asleep and was sleeping slumped against the train window, his head resting on the metal bulkhead and his jaw open, when a slight crunch filled the air. He was snoring lightly and the noise disturbed him just enough. "Doctor?" "Mhm...?" he said vaguely, moving his head and opening his thin eyes a little. He didn't have the strength to look around: he spotted a small black spot, guessed who it must be and lay down, ready to slip back into sleep. "Doctor?" "..." “Bly, do you have a sedative?” “...uff.” Breathing heavily, the Doctor opened his eyes again, letting a few tears slip away from his tiredness. He yawned looking at the mysterious figure, who this time was tugging at his sleeve rhythmically. "It's night, Raven. Go to sleep, you will see that you fall asleep.” "But it's not for me!" At this point his thoughts began to press against the part of his brain made of potatoes and tiredness, the one that wanted to continue enjoying the sweet abandonment in Morpheus' arms. He forced himself to open his eyes and with the tightest expression in the world, put his head back on the axis and settled back into a better seat, mostly expressing disappointment. “How is it not for…” he was about to continue the sentence when he stopped. His sleeping cerebellum seemed to have put out a large sign in large letters that read 'you don't want to know'. He decided that that strategy could actually be successful, as well as the one closest to going back to sleep. "...forget it, I don't want to know." He reached down to reach the medical bag that he always carried with him and that he had placed under the seat, between his legs. He dragged it to the wooden floor by one edge and with serene bliss opened it, regardless dismissing the possibility of giving Raven a needle, on ethical and moral grounds - he was a child, an opium-selling child, he didn't want to know what the next step would be but hoped it didn't end with 'something in the mood'. He had already invented a strange caffeine injector to be used in the field, even if he usually filled it with an undefined substance with a color tending towards radio green. He didn't want to get used to it. He checked among the other vials and pulled out the chloroform one. The little boy had gone into little detail and didn't know if an anesthetic would help, but rather than attempting a stronger and more harmful formula he preferred to give him something that would simply make the victim pass out for a while, knocking him out. Shrugging and hoping it would go well, he took that, pouring a dose onto a handkerchief found in the bag, one of many that he kept in reserve in case he didn't have gloves and had to perform some operation. “Here, Raven. Hold it down on your target's nose and mouth, it should spread it out for a while." Even if he didn't want to, some doubts arose in him, presented graphically by his mind always with that big flashing writing that warned him that he was growing up a second Jack The Ripper. “…you're not playing kidnapper, are you?” “No, no doctor. It's for Franco, he's a little agitated." Ethics and morals. Ethics and morals. He repeated these catchphrases to himself but it didn't help, if Franco was upset the potential trouble was afoot. He forced himself to ignore them with a firmness of mind - or just perhaps with the force of habit - and handed the boy the handkerchief, watching him go happy his way. He closed the bag, pushed it under the seats again and this time folded his arms against the glass. Now he was thinking, which would keep him from getting back to sleep for a while. Franco was ... a particular person, if you want to define him as a person, he means him. Short, stocky, an Italian patriot to the core, in addition to being surly he was also totally unpredictable, so much so that he had lived in prisons until recently, where he was regularly beaten bloody and did his utmost to beat. When they found him, he had more chains than a valuables wagon, yet he got rid of them in a flash, demonstrating no small amount of knowledge in burglary and stealth. In his lack of education he was incredibly prone to reasoning out of the ordinary; the problem was how he applied them at times, adding that touch of healthy violence that he didn't mind, but which usually spoiled. He was also the best Werewolf hunter of the few Wolfenjager he had ever known. He remained brooding over the high mortality that the child was going to meet if he really had to collide with such an obstacle; worried and now very awake, he finally got up, put down his jacket, checked the bracelets hidden under his cuffs and left the cabin, trying to figure out if Raven had headed to the end of the train or to the beginning. A discernible shot came from the end of the train. Why he was always asking when the answers were knocking at the door? With a resigned sigh, he began to scurry towards the end of the train. ITA William si era addormentato e dormiva accasciato contro il finestrino del treno, la testa abbandonata sulla paratia in metallo e la mandibola aperta, quando un lieve scricchiolio riempì l’aria. Stava russando lievemente ed il rumore lo disturbò quel tanto che bastava. “Dottore?” “Mhm...?” fece con aria vaga, spostando il capo e aprendo un poco gli occhi sottili. Non aveva la forza per guardare in giro: individuò una macchia nera bassina, intuì chi doveva essere e si rimise giù, pronto per scivolare di nuovo nel sonno. “Dottore?” “...” “Bly, ce l’hai un calmante?” “...uff.” Respirando rumorosamente, il Dottore riaprì gli occhi, lasciandosi scivolare via qualche lacrima dalla stanchezza. Sbadigliò guardando la figura misteriosa, che stavolta gli stava tirando una manica ritmicamente. “E’ notte, Raven. Vai a dormire, vedrai che ti addormenti.” “Ma non è per me!” A questo punto i pensieri iniziarono a premere contro la parte del suo cervello fatto di patate e stanchezza, quella che avrebbe voluto continuare a godersi il dolce abbandono tra le braccia di Morfeo. Si costrinse ad aprire gli occhi e con l’espressione più tirata del mondo, rimise la testa in asse e si risistemò seduto meglio, esprimendo per lo più disappunto. “Come non è per...” stava per continuare la frase quando si interruppe. Il suo cervelletto addormentato pareva aver messo fuori una larga scritta a caratteri cubitali che recitava ‘non lo vuoi sapere’. Decise che quella strategia poteva essere effettivamente vincente, nonchè quella più vicina al tornarsene a dormire. “...lascia stare, non lo voglio sapere.” Si abbassò piegandosi per raggiungere la borsa medica che portava sempre con sè e che aveva posizionato sotto il sedile, tra le gambe. La trascinò sul pavimento in legno prendendola da un bordo e con serena beatitudine la aprì, scartando a prescindere la possibilità di dare un ago in mano a Raven, per motivi etici e morali - era un bambino, un bambino che svendeva oppio, non voleva sapere quale sarebbe stato il passo successivo ma sperava che non finisse con ‘qualcosa in vena’. Già aveva inventato uno strano iniettore di caffeina da usare sul campo, anche se di solito lo riempiva di sostanza non ben definita dal colore tendente al verde radio. Non voleva dargli l’abitudine. Controllò tra le altre boccette e ne estrasse quella del cloroformio. Il ragazzino era sceso poco nei dettagli e non sapeva se un anestetico sarebbe stato d’aiuto, ma piuttosto che tentare una formula più forte e dannosa preferiva dargli qualcosa che facesse semplicemente svenire il malcapitato per un po’, mandandolo al tappeto. Facendo spallucce e sperando che andasse bene, prese quello, versandone una dose su un fazzoletto di tessuto trovato nella borsa, uno tra i tanti che teneva nella riserva in caso non avesse i guanti e dovesse effettuare un qualche intervento. “Tieni, Raven. Tienilo premuto sul naso e sulla bocca del tuo obbiettivo, dovrebbe stenderlo per un po’.” Anche se non voleva, gli nacque qualche dubbio, presentato graficamente dalla sua mente sempre con quella grossa scritta lampeggiante che lo avvertiva di star crescendo un secondo Jack Lo Squartatore. “...non stai giocando a fare il rapitore, vero?” “No, no dottore. E’ per Franco, è un po’ agitato.” Etica e morale. Etica e morale. Ripetè queste frasi ad effetto tra sè e sè ma non servì, se Franco era agitato i potenziali guai erano in corso. Si costrinse ad ignorarli con una fermezza mentale - o solo forse con la forza dell’abitudine - e consegnò al ragazzo il fazzoletto, guardandolo andarsene tutto contento per la sua strada. Richiuse la borsa, la spinse di nuovo sotto ai sedili e si rimise stavolta a braccia conserte contro il vetro. Ora stava pensando, cosa che gli avrebbe impedito di riprendere sonno per un po’. Franco era... una persona particolare, a volerla definire una persona s’intende. Basso, tarchiato, patriota italiano fin nell’anima, oltre ad essere burbero era anche totalmente imprevedibile, tant’era che aveva vissuto per prigioni fino a non poco tempo prima, dove regolarmente veniva pestato a sangue e si prodigava a pestare. Quando l’avevano trovato aveva più catene di un carro porta valori, eppure se ne era liberato in un lampo, dimostrando una sapienza nello scassinaggio e nella furtività non da poco. Nella sua mancanza d’istruzione era incredibilmente prono a dei ragionamenti fuori dal comune; il problema era come li applicava alle volte, mettendoci quel tocco di sana violenza che a lui non dispiaceva, ma che di solito guastava. Era anche il più bravo cacciatore di Lupi Mannari tra i pochi Wolfenjager avesse mai conosciuto. Rimase a rimurginare sull’alta mortalità a cui andava incontro il bambino se davvero doveva scontrarsi con un simile ostacolo; preoccupato e oramai molto sveglio, finalmente si alzò, posò la giacca, controllò i bracciali nascosti sotto i polsini e uscì dalla cabina, cercando di capire se Raven si era diretto a fine del treno o all’inizio. Un distinguibile sparo venne dalla fine del treno. Cosa se lo domandava a fare, ormai? Con un sospiro rassegnato, iniziò a dirigersi velocemente verso la fine del treno.

My #1 post of 2022

Ya know what, as someone on the aro spectrum, I really fucking appreciate how Bram Stoker treated friendships and romances. Lucy's ex-lovers still love her so much, and they're not creepy about it. They don't express feeling "lesser" for being friends rather than married. They have undying love for her and each other, whether it be romantic or not.

It's a portrayal of platonic and romantic love, often blurring the lines between, while not treating anyone as inferior for where they fall on that spectrum. It is not just sexuality or romance that drives all the characters, it is love in all forms, all equal in form. It's a very kind view on love that anyone, regardless of whether they possess romantic or sexual attraction or not, can relate to and embody.

I believe someone here said that Dracula is ultimately about the goodness of humanity, and I very much agree.

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨Relationship observations pt. II💘

Hello guys!! In honor of Valentine’s day here’s a part II of one of the posts you loved the most which is relationship observations. This one is pretty long which is what you guys preferred. Hope you like it!

Credit: Tumblr blog @astrobydalia

💘 People with pisces ASC/moon/venus, Venus in the 12th and Neptune in the 7th or conjunct the ASC-DSC axis: it’s so SO easy to make them feel guilty. The type of people to easily feel like it’s their fault when others mistreat them and bc of this they could be more prone to attracting abusive people and narcissists

💘 Also, nobody talks about this and I understand why bc Neptune can be very tricky planet but I think it’s worth mentioning that Neptune is a very spiritual planet that represents unconditional love and therefore can mean true love or a real soul connection so the ruler of the 7th house making an aspect to Neptune, Neptune in the 7th, Juno in the 12th, 12th house synastry etc. can mean true love and a real soul connection in marriage. HOWEVER true love and a real soul connection feeling can often be confused with delusions which is why this planet gets such bad press in relatioships and remember 12th house a lot of times is karma so PLEASE be careful

💘 Venus ruling the 7th, venus in the 7th or Venus aspecting the ruler of the 7th indicates a strong desire to marry for love. Very possible that the person won’t marry unless it’s for love. This also indicates good marriage life

💘 If you don’t have this it of course doesn’t mean you won’t marry for love or won’t marry at all so don’t worry. What I’ve seen in people who don’t have this is they are quite independent when it comes to relationships, they don’t mind getting married but they don’t mind not getting married or staying single either. While people who do have this Venus influence could be low-key obsessed with getting married or having a commitment/relationship

💘 Mercury ruling the 7th, mercury in the 7th or Mercury aspecting the ruler of the 7th indicates marring someone that is funny, someone you can always joke around with

💘 Don’t overlook Chiron in synastry. The house where someone else’s Chiron falls in your own chart could be where you feel like this person is a pain in the ass or where this person will help you achieve great potential

💘 Check Chiron in composite too, it represents where you may feel like you can never agree on or where you often agree to disagree

💘 Once you gain the trust of someone with Taurus Venus they are the absolute SWEETEST people ever

💘 Libra Venus love getting ready for someone special

💘 Check the ascendant in your Juno persona chart, it has some significance as to the energy around you meeting your spouse similar to a composite rising but more subtle energy. For ex. one of my friends has gemini rising in her Juno persona chart and she met her husband when we were in high school when she was about to be picked up by car and she was also holding books in her hands and when she saw him he was with his brother.

💘 The rising in the Juno persona chart also indicates appearance or overall vibe of spouse. For ex the husband of this friend I just told you previously (Gemini rising in her Juno pesona chart) has a very youthful and boyish vibe almost like a teenager he’s also very witty

>>>The actual composite rising you end up having with your spouse or the natal rising sign of your spouse doesn’t have to be the same as the rising of your Juno persona chart. I’ve seen this actually happening before but it doesn’t have to be

💘 In 4th house synastry specially with sun/moon/rising/venus, the house person will naturally see the planet person as a parent or a potential parent. Meaning, somehow the house person “judges” the planet person by deliberating how they’d be as a parent. With this overlay the house person naturally takes care of the needs of the planet person (said needs will be determined by the planet and sign in question) and that’s why the planet person will inevitably see the house person as a good potential parent

💘 There are lots of placements and asteroids that indicate your sexual turn ons but I think that the most potent ones are Lilith, Eros, your 8th house and the ruler of the 8th house. I’ve noticed that these represent specially erogenous zones for you and parts of the body you’re specially attracted to (aside from your kinks and stuff). For example Cancer: breast or nipple, Gemini: lips or hands, Taurus: waist and neck, Leo: hair or back, Sagittarius: hips or thighs etc.

💘 Mars can represent this too but what I’ve seen is that your mars represents more so HOW you like to have sex. It mostly represents how you like to physically approach the sexual act

  💘 8th house represents your sex style, the overall vibe or attitude you want in the sexual act. For ex you may like being dominant during sex with mars in Capricorn but want the sexual act to feel emotional and vulnerable with Cancer in the 8th or raw and fiery with Aries in the 8th

💘 Also, your 8th house is EVERYTHING when it comes to feeling satisfied sexually regardless of your kinks and turn ons. If you have sex that checks all the boxes for all your kinks/turn ons but doesn’t match up with your 8th house energy you will likely end up feeling low-key unsatisfied

💘 Couples with their moons in sister signs (or opposing moons) are either the perfect couple or a fucking disaster

💘 In my opinion, Sun-Moon, Sun-Sun or Moon-moon contacts in synastry are essential for a relationship to work out or last

💘 People with Juno retrograde are the MOST cautious when it comes to marriage, they could be a bit picky and often give the impression they’re not interested in commitment at all specially if it’s placed in Aquarius it gives huge Mr./Mrs Independent vibes

💘 Juno in a water sign gives player vibes, they are the type jump from person to person and likely have a long history of flings and flirting. These people have dated around A LOT and will only commit to that one person that truly manages to capture their heart deeply

💘 Juno in a fire sign are the type of people that wanna marry their crush two weeks or even days into meeting them. They often mistake “attraction at first sight” for “love at first sight”. The second they feel they have real good chemistry with someone they think it’s the love of their life

💘 Juno in an Air sign people need to feel like they really click with someone and they will want to commit only after really getting to know the person. They fall in love with the person’s mind first. They can easily un-crush someone in a second if they don’t like the person’s mind

💘 Juno in an Earth sign people are the most coutios when it comes to commitment. They migh deliberately delay marriage just to be SURE they are getting a reliable future and wanna be certain that it’s the absolute right time

💘 Before starting with the composite observations, you should know that synastry is the dynamic between two people but composite represents what the relationship really is, so that’s why on this post I’m focusing on composite

💘 I’ve noticed that the 2nd house in a composite chart indicates the “glue” or foundation of the relationship, its stability. Mars in this house could create a relationship based on sex for example, Venus a relationship based on love and affection, Saturn a relationship based on stability and compromise etc.

💘 4th house and moon in the composite represents the depths of the relationship. How you guys feel deep down about each other, how you make each other feel. This part of your relationship shows specially when you get true and honest with what are your real feelings

💘 Aquarius or Uranus in the 4th house, Aquarius moon or Moon conjunct Uranus in the composite creates a whole deal of emotional detachment for each other. Could be very emotionally cold to each other and one or both could see the other as insensitive specially if one of them has natal water or fire moon

💘 Aquarius Sun or risings in the composite however is huge best friend vibes regardless of the nature of the relationship. Moon conjunction Uranus can also get away with giving this vibe

💘 Virgos and Scorpios naturally find each other because they tend to have composite Sun in Libra :) So that togetherness and companionship energy is natural for them

💘 Aries moon in the composite chart is that type of relationship where any insult actually means “I love you”. Is that type of dynamic where one’s like “I love you, stupid bitch” and the other goes “🥰🥰” and then they both laugh

💘 Pisces moon in the composite is cute but also a bit tricky if afflicted, the couple could constantly feel they have to watch themselves in order to not hurt or offend the other, like constantly walking on eggshells. Needless to say also these relationships are very intuitive, if one or both are lying or hidding something (which often happens with this placement I’ve seen), the other just KNOWS

💘 Saturn in the 7th in the composite is very good aspect for staying together long-term but it can also mean that the couple is for some reason “forced” to be together or to see each other. They come together due to circumstances and not necessarily by choice (Saturn represents responsibilities, burdens or obligations). You have to look for indicators of love and romance otherwise it’s gonna be a relationship that stays together but more out of duty than real love

💘 Juno in the 4th house in the composite (specially conjunct some planet) is more indicative of marriage (or loyalty/compromise) than Juno in the 1st

💘 Vesta exactly conjunct South Node in the composite creates a STRONG soul-mate feeling and great devotion. These relationships are so long lasting the type where you just know you’re gonna be together your entire life

💘 Chiron in the 1st in the composite chart = feeling uncomfortable with each other, like you’re incompatible or like you don’t click together at all. Can also create a “can’t be together” vibe but not in a platonic Pisces way it’s more like there’s some incompatibility that can’t be salvaged and “stops” the couple from meeting/coming together or the relationship from taking place at least at first. Basically the relationship feels broken before even starting. The sign Chiron is in gives insight as to what’s the nature of this incompatibility.

💘 Saturn in the 8th in the composite = reluctance to have sex, one might have been sexually rejected by the other

💘 Chiron in the 10th in the composite = you don’t like working with this person. I have this with one of my best friends, we tried to run an IG page together and it was a disaster lmao

💘 Sun and maybe Venus in the 10th house in the composite indicates your relationship is source of gossip or at the very least everybody knows about your relationship

💘 If a composite planet or point falls in your natal 10th house then the relationship might affect your reputation

💘 The most harmonious and the most healthy relationships I’ve seen had empty 7th house empty 12th and empty 8th house in the composite. Literally 0 drama, 0 tensions, 0 codependency and surprisingly unbreakable (supported by other aspects of course)

💘 With that said the number 1 best house for synastry or composite in my opinion and based on what I have seen is the 9th house both friendship and relationship, also the 5th, 4th, 2nd, 11th, 3rd

💘 People who have your DSC sign as their moon sign will strike you quite strongly. Not necessarily their moon falling in your 7th or conjunct the DSC (tho this is stronger) I’ve seen that the fact that someone has your DSC sign as their moon sign is enough to create a little “crush” feeling or you feel like you can’t hate that person bc may see them as cute.

💘 The people I’ve seen that have gone through a harsh divorce mostly had in their natal chart: North Node in the 7th, Chiron in the 7th house, Saturn rx in the 7th house, Jupiter Square Uranus and planets or angles in Aquarius degrees (11°, 23°) specially if Venus or Moon are in these degrees or conjunct a planet that is in these degrees. These indicators can apply to breaking up a long-term relationship, breaking an engagement, etc. except probably Jupiter square Uranus. This one is particularly a divorce aspect specially in women’s charts. Also, side note, if Pluto or Uranus are involved, these people may have a devastating divorce or breakup 

💘 Composite planets in the composite 12th house can create a feeling like the relationship has an expiration date. One or both people are for some reason constantly anxious that the relationship might end. If they stay feeding these energy they’ll likely have a self-fulfilling prophecy

💘 Pisces rising in the composite makes for a very psychic bond. Could be the type of relationship where you’re thinking and wondering about them and boom they suddenly text you. These people are usually there for each other bc they intuitively know when to be

💘 This is probably a no-brainer but many life-long friendships I’ve seen had stelliums or planets in the 5th house-11th house axis or the 3rd house-9th house axis of the composite

💘 With Leo rising in the composite I’ve noticed these people always have very funny stories to tell about stuff they’ve been through and lived together. There’s a lot of “remember when...” followed by loud laughter. 

💘 North north node in the composite 5th house is a great placement

💘 6th house placements in the composite and synastry creates a dynamic where the two people and the relationship itself ends up feeling extremely predictable. The couple may find one specific routine or activity they like doing together or they always find themselves doing the same 3 activities every time they are together. This can be good or bad depending on what you want in a relationship, some people find it extremely boring or understamulating and others prefer it because it gives them a sense of stability or reliability

💘 Moon conjunct Chiron in composite is indicative of a healing relationship

If you want to look into your chart to see your commited partner/marriage

I see so many folks asking about this & I feel like people look for these things in the wrong places or they’re instantly reaching for some obscure techniques (persona charts?? Random asteroids?? Never saw it really describing anything correctly. That’s like the last thing you should look at). Get your basics covered first. Your primary energies in the natal chart can tell you SO SO much. Okay let’s goooooo

1. Your descendant/7th house, duh. What sign is it in? If you have any planets in the 7th, look at them. Look at the ruler of the 7th. In what house it sits in? What aspects does it have? I’d look at classic rulership first btw. Also, for a predictive work like this, try exploring your chart with whole sign system.

Some basic examples of characteristics of partners according to planets in the 7th:

Sun: happy partnership, someone that is somewhat known in certain circles, generous, fun, inspiring, works in creative fields, an entrepreneur or a business person, someone who simply shines; marriage can come a bit later in life

Moon: partner that is caring or even parental towards you, family-oriented, sensitive, moody, stay-at-home partner, working in fields associated with nurturing or food (or anything that makes you feel nice); can also bring popularity; can marry young

Mercury: an intellectual, or someone with a “mercurial” occupation (communication, travel; teacher, writer, accountant etc.), a worldly person, sociable, talkative, possibly someone younger or of a young spirit; this also means you can marry earlier in life

Venus: a harmonious partner, a romantic, non-confrontational, an eye-candy, diplomatic nature, can work in any “venusian” industry (arts, food etc.), financialy stable; this also should bring harmony and luck in relationships*

Mars: an energetic partner, assertive, full of passion, independent, a leader, someone who constatnly keeps you on your toes, great motivator, a masculine type (regardless of gender), may work in a military/police etc.

Jupiter: a successfull partner, jolly, popular, possibly from a different background/culture/a foreigner, spiritual, philosophical, a teacher, can work in entertainment; you may meet while traveling or marry abroad; brings great luck*

Saturn: someone older than you, a mature person, disciplined, patient, possibly a widow/a widower; marriage can come later than expected

Uranus: an eccentric partner, intelligent, full of surprises, innovative, creative, someone working in science or tech-related fields; unconventional partnership; you may marry suddenly (and divorce as fast lol)

Neptune: spiritual, intuitive, sensitive, working overseas or in artistic fields; you’re looking for a soulmate; you may actually never marry your partner because something always gets in the way 

Pluto: intuitive, magnetic, spiritual, persuasive, can work as a psychiatrist or a crime detector or in fields associated with science; a power couple; you may marry in secret

*Venus is the greater benefic for those with a night chart (Sun below the asc/dsc axis); Jupiter is the greater benefic for those with a day chart (Sun above the asc/dsc axis). Look to see which will bring you more luck in life.

If you have no planets in the 7th, just look at its ruler and the aspects it makes. Now lemme give you an example of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Just so you have a better understanding of how to approach this.

Angelina's descendant is in Capricorn so we look at Saturn. Using equal house system, it falls into her 12th house (actually her Venus as well), it can denote having secret relationships and affairs. That's how her relationship with Pitt started. Her Saturn squares Jupiter - Brad's a double Sagittarius. His descendant ruler is Mercury and it's a part of a stellium, which consists of Mars, Venus and Moon - I think it's obvious that Angelina is an embodiment of those energies. She's a nurturing Cancer rising, with charming & sexy Venus on the ascendant and she has a strong, fiery Aries Mars. And, obviously, she’s a Gemini.

(I could get into their synastry, in which they check all the basic & important rules of a relationship but that's not the point. Btw their synastry is kind of mind-blowing, these ascendant-vertex conjunctions? I mean WOW).

2. Depending on your gender (that’s a traditional way of looking at it but screw heteronormativity so do whatever floats your boat) OR depending if your chart is more masculine or feminine: Sun and Mars for feminine folks; Moon and Venus for masculine; if you’re non-binary, look at both or what you feel like will suit you most. This is for more what YOU are attracted to although Sun and Moon are said to show your spouse. 

Venus specifically symbolizes love so you may look at the house it falls in to see where you may find it. For example, if it’s in your 3rd house, you may meet them somewhere local, doing every-day stuff; in school or through your siblings. The house your Venus is in shows where your charms and beauty are seen the most. For example, if it’s in the 11th it’s more probable you’ll date one of your friends cause you’re seen as attractive in your friend group. Also, some houses aren’t straightforwardly assigned to places so I guess for some houses it works better.

Your descendant ruler may apply to this technique as well but can moreso show traits that will further characterize your spouse. For example, descendant ruler in the 8th - they may be an accountant; in the 10th - may be someone well-established; 5th - may work with children or be of a creative nature etc.

3. Derivative house system: just flip your chart. Listen, it partially makes sense that 8th house stands for shared resources. For example, if you have benefics in the 8th house it can point to having a wealthy partner through whom you yourself will get rich or whatever. Well it coincides with the theory that your 8th house is your partner’s symbolic 2nd house. You can use derivative house system from any point in your chart but we’re talking about your partner, so just flip your chart upside down. Just DON’T read it in a literal sense. 

I’ll give you an example of my mom’s chart. When we flip it, she has Neptune in the 2nd house. Her ex-husband, my dad, was earning money as a sailor (this also, later in life, meant that money was slipping through his fingers and that brought material instability). This is further backed up by Jupiter on the MC and even by Sun in the 9th house - all points to long travels and working in foreign lands. Stellium in the 10th also means he became a career-oriented person.

Obviously, when you flip your chart, it will say the opposite of your natal. So you’re thinking, “in my natal my desc ruler is in the 10th and when I look at it upside down it’s in the 4th - that’s the complete opposite! *Oprah voice* So what is the truth??? Am I marrying someone family- or career-oriented???” It’s important to point that derivative house system is activated once you get married/enter a stable, commited relationship. So this is something to look at additionally.

5. Other fun stuff to look at: Jupiter. In vedic astrology Jupiter represents the husband but we’re doing western so that’s not my point (ha! I got you there, didn’t I?). Jupiter stands for legal matters. It’s very common to see lots of Jupiter in synastry of married couples (bonus points if there’s flowing Jupiter-Jupiter aspects). Juno, which is one of the main, early discovered asteroids, symbolizes marriage and commitment; it also shows the way we balance things out, compromise and show fairness. It can tell us how we’re approaching these things and what we look for in a potential stable partner.

Demon Games! (Part 2) with Italy, Germany, and Japan

This is part 2 of the Demon Games With the Axis. to find part 1: Go here: https://headingalaxys.tumblr.com/post/668804255727108096/demon-games-yandere-demon-england-france

Alright: There is a TW in place because of spiders in this one and the fact that Japan’s is well ...makes reader-chan in an extremely compromising position. Also, Germany’s Game is really intense.

Italy: In his dark chapter

The Evil Eye That Hides in the Closet

Anywho dare to want to play this closet game when the sun sets, be my guest. Light a match, and chant this short passage:

“Show me the light, or leave me in darkness.”

Immediately after chanting this short passage. You should hear a demon whisper in your left ear: PASTA MOTHERF**KER~ when you hear that you need to run out of your closet from 0 to 100 real quick. And light your candle. If you’re not capable of doing that then you’ll never get a good night’s rest again. The II Malocchio (Evil Eye) that the demon will give you will suck. Not to mention it has the capability to get you sick, cause you a plethora of bad luck, or you can die. Feliciano will be eager to get his hands on your mortal soul and what better way to do that than to wear you down mentally, physically, and emotionally? Even if you do wear a goat’s horn to ward off his evil magic it’s only likely to delay the inevitable: you becoming his mate.

Also, have fun with never being able to leave your closet door open at night. That’s a perfect way for you to get captured by the Italian demon you let live in your closet. Or if you didn’t leave open by a lot for him to watch you while you sleep.

Germany: Morbach 11

A tedious and high-stress game however a wish can be granted if you’re able to win the game. But due to the complexity of it well. It’s not a bet you’d want to take. You’re going to need to light a candle and have a strong wish. You’ll have to chant this short passage in order to start the game.

Night-time beckons me. I wish for things that can not be.

I offer me in a chance for me to have the things that can not be.

Morbach of the night I summon thee in the air of what can be.

If I win by 3 you grant to me that of what fills my heart with glee.

You must do this game alone. You have to then drive into the forest in the dead of night. Once you’re into the woods you have to follow the intuition that tells you that you’ve found the dwelling of Morbach the Werewolf. It will appear to you. With the candle inside your car you have to keep it from going out and setting your car on fire. You’re not allowed to go faster than 11 miles per hour in your car. The candle during this time will try to burn itself out. So you’ll have to keep an eye on it while you are driving. If you see anything in the woods on your way to find the castle. Don’t investigate. Just keep going. If you lose focus on your original task, Morbach will find you. Once he does he’ll bring you into the custody of Ludwig who’ll never let you go back home.

Also, you can’t use your phone, listen to music or anything else the only thing you’re allowed to have on is your candle you have to keep lit.

Mile 1 and 2 will be easy: nothing of importance happens.

Mile 3: Hands, Wolves, and other figures will be things you can make in your peripheral vision. Don’t look. If you do you’ll lose the game.

Mile 4: You’ll begin to hear Human and In-Human voices from places you can seem to pinpoint. Don’t listen. Just continue.

Mile 5: The outside will tantalize you with beauty. The moonlight. The river that glistens in the moonlight with nightingale birds that chirp in the moonlight will beckon you to take a break. Don’t fall for it. Ludwig will think you’re someone who may fall for a trap that is pretty.

Mile 6: The radio will turn on by itself and give you directions to where to go. Or you may hear just static. Or a hypnosis song. Regardless of which one Ludwig decides to use. DO NOT LISTEN. Do your best to ignore it. If you don’t you’ll lose the game. Don’t turn off the radio either. It will only give him direct access to your soul.

Mile 7: The voices will be back but closer as if they’re in your backseat. DO NOT TURN AROUND.

Mile 8: Your car will begin to fail. The engine will sound like it needs to be checked and your headlights will go out. Keep driving. Do not get out of your car. Ludwig’s werewolf will be waiting in the treeline for you. Just pretend your car is working fine.

Mile 9: Your car will stop suddenly. Close your eyes. And don’t concentrate on the noises outside. Don’t try to see where it’s coming from. Just step on the gas when you hear your radio playing music and you hear your car engine come to life again.

Mile 10: You’re not allowed to blink for this mile. If you do then you’re doomed.

Mile 11: Your car will stop suddenly in front of a man with large wings and glowing eyes. One red and one blue. DO NOT GET OUT. DO NOT MOVE. Stay still and you can not blink either, you must remain this way all while ignoring the sounds that are coming near your car. And the voices that seem to be in your car. All while Ludwig has his hellhounds ramming your car to shake you up. Once your car starts again and is playing a party song then that’s when you know it’s time to move and blink again. You’ll approach the castle that has appeared close to your dwelling.

Once there make your wish and blow out your candle. You have to manifest it as if you already have what you’re asking for wait for sunrise for your wish to be fulfilled.

If you’re able to handle this high-risk game in exchange for your wish then be my guest.

If you fail though you’ll belong to Ludwig, considering the type of demon he is and how high risk this game is the chances of you winning are like 0 to none.

Japan: The Legend Daruma-San

As per usual this game must be played at night. But, you have to be in a bath for it to work. You can’t shower. You have to wash your hair while doing so. As you begin to wash you hear repeat the chant:

Daruma-San fell down. Daruma-San fell down.

Keep saying that until you’ve finally finished washing your hair completely shampoo and conditioner and all. You’re going to hear a sultry voice beckon you to open your eyes and entertain him. But don’t. Kiku can be convincing and calming but don’t fall for it. He’s an incubus that is intent on making you his mate.

When you’re done washing your hair. You’ll have a vision of a Japanese doll falling into the water with you that falls behind you. You will feel something on your left shoulder. This is where you must prepare yourself. On your right shoulder make a karate shop motion while saying “Kitta” to ward off the evil spirit.

Even after you do this you’ll still have to deal with Kiku. You’re still not supposed to open your eyes just yet. However, Kiku will have a few other ideas up his sleeves in order to get you to open your eyes sooner than your supposed to. He’ll get close to your right ear and whisper of unspeakable sexual acts that he wants to do with you. But will do so in a way that entices you. Not to mention you will have the feeling of spiders crawling on your arms and legs. Ignore all of it until the light in your bathroom come on. That’s when you’re able to open your eyes and continue as nothing happened. Just don’t drain your bath water until the next morning.

[rainbowloliofjustice]

I hate how so many people just... lack any kind of critical media literacy across so many different genres and how just about every genre and common tropes, issues, etc. within them just get boiled down to "Oh this is bad because ableism/racism/homophobia" even though the tropes largely have nothing to do with that. It's like they have such a surface-level understanding of something and then proceeds to read into said surface-level understanding in a contest to see who can come up with the most disingenuous, bad faith, uncharitable and just all-around god an awful interpretation of it.

"Characters having prosthetics as an allegory for losing their humanity is ablest because it is saying that if you got into an accident you are a monster." No, you absolute peanut. Robotic parts specifically are an allegory for the loss of humanity in characters that just get rid of their human body because they were being reckless, stupid, thought that it was not perfect enough, too weak, etc. Oftentimes, this is juxtaposed with a character that is a robot but is more human than the cyborg or person that just gets another piece of them replaced with a machine.

Ironwood getting increasingly mechanical parts as he is making increasingly inhumane choices in regards to himself and others is not saying he's a monster because he had an oops boo boo and had to replace his arm. ESPECIALLY when his character is juxtaposed by a character who has a robotic arm (Yang) and a character who is a created robot (Penny). The reason why Yang said that her robotic arm (and even taking pride in it at that) is "just extra" because it is just an extra asset to who she is as a person, but not her whole person. In terms of Penny, she is entirely made of machines but has what amounts to a human heart and compassion because she makes a choice to be kind to people. The allegory here (that y'all failed to understand) is that it is not whether or not someone has prosthetic or robotic parts that determine their humanity, but rather their choices and how they treat others.

It is often also the same in stories where it has characters who have robotic parts such as Alita Battle Angel or anything that genuinely comes from cyberpunk dystopia. Alita (Who is completely robot mind you) is often more kind, compassionate, etc. than characters who are fully human. Hugo and his crew regularly steal parts from cyborgs who've done nothing to him and this is juxtaposed by characters like Grewishka and Zipan who are mechanical and monstrous but not because of their parts but because of their choices. Which is a strong contrast to Alita who is fully kindhearted and has a strong sense of justice and doing what is right regardless of whether there is a price tag on it.

In more dystopian stories wherein no short words, the corrupt government controls technology and spies on its people using it, it can be a question of how much of your humanity (in this instance, privacy and agency over oneself) you're willing to sacrifice for comfort or just because you had to. But of course, rather than looking at these stories as a potential warning that we should make laws that would prevent the government from using technology against its people under the guise of safety, convenience, etc. Or even having people question wtf do they do should the government get so corrupt that it can just hijack someone's arm or even just stop someone's pacemaker because lol why not.

Yeah I get it, it's uncomfortable but unfortunately, the people who need it the most are going to be the people most at risk to a corrupt government which is like... kinda the point.

But anyways moving on

The same can go for when stories use animals as a means of telling stories revolving around discrimination. But ofc people can only see it as a surface-level "racism" and then do their damnest to force characters into being black/poc or white (and for some reason, only those two races) while failing to realize that the reason it was done is that discrimination has more than one axis. I swear this logic is what has convinced me all the talk of intersectionality in activism is just a joke they say to get other people to just shut up and let them speak over them and ignore problems/issues they don't want to focus on. It's like the only thing they can understand is racism and even that racism is only if it is hatred and black people vs white people. And somehow even that is on its most basic level.

The reason stories like Zootopia and Beastars work when it comes to discrimination because it doesn't solely focus on the narrative of race and allows it to explore the implicit and explicit biases of every character that doesn't exclusively revolve around racism. It allows characters to be on the axis of sexism, racism, class, etc. and explore various -isms that are not always "negative" in the sense that it is just hatred, racial slurs, etc. and that it can be the "positive" racism like saying "you're one of the good ones" or that "they're a token to xyz for not being as bad as everyone else."

It allows characters to fall on multiple axes without people arguing whether they have it "too good to complain" because of just one axis of discrimination that they give more weight to than others for some arbitrary reason.

Even when it comes to things like nudity being a symbol of being true to oneself or purity (such as Sailor Moon or Kill La Kill) people manage to, unironically boil it down to just the writers feeling horny and therefore ignore any other kind of lore, storytelling, etc. that revolves around it. They took one thing, scrubbed, bleached, and then nuked it of any kind of context/meta just to say lol writers horny this bad it literally means nothing else even though there are whole ass plot lines revolving around it. Like do you just pick and choose what kind of plot or storytelling is Valid (TM)?

And this extends to things beyond that and I just don't understand how people can lack such media literacy when you can literally go and read anything you want online. Is it because of people being willfully ignorant? Just lacking media literacy for some reason? Only consuming and understanding media that has to have every meaning shoved down their throat like the tentacle down an anime girl's throat in a hentai??? Like there are so many questions as to how people can come up with so many dumbass takes.

What Your Favorite Puella Magi Madoka Magica Ship Says About You

Inspired by DoubleCa5t's series, and since we're probably going to get an official video sooner or later, I'm putting my version out while I can.

Also, this is all in good fun, so don't take any teasing seriously.

...

MadoHomu (Madoka X Homura)

You are a firm believe in the inherent eroticism of this image.

You have episode ten memorized.

You have a very specific emotional reaction to “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper.

You have severe problems with The Rebellion Story, particularly in how it upended the optimistic note that the original series ended on and recontextualized Homura’s devotion to Madoka as something unhealthy and even toxic, but you still can’t bring yourself to reject the movie entirely, because at the end of the day, even you have to admit that damn, that dress.

The phrase, “X character did nothing wrong” pops up a lot in your internet discourse.

You ship CatraDora.

KyouSaya (Kyouko X Sayaka)

You’re always a sucker for how the dynamic of Enemies to Lovers shifts from antagonism to devotion without losing its obsessive intensity.

Your ideal date can best be summed up as Be Gay, Do Crimes…after which you have to call your responsible friend to come bail both of you out.

You know that important stuff happens after episode nine, but to be quite frank, at that point you were too emotionally traumatized to get invested and were only watching out of a feeling of obligation.

You were uncharacteristically smug after watching The Rebellion Story despite what disproportionately little screentime your ship received.

You also ship CatraDora.

MadoSaya (Madoka X Sayaka)

You don’t understand what all the fuss is about when it comes to Enemies to Lovers when there’s a perfectly good Friends to Lovers right there.

This is the same joke as the first part of MadoHomu, but with the Hot Topic switched out for a Footlocker.

You lost your mind on 4chan over Persephone’s Waltz on more than one occasion and for more than one reason (hey, ErinPtah!).

KyouMami (Kyouko X Mami)

You read A Different Story, and probably listened to that one audio drama.

You’re a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of exes that still long for one another.

You feel that a lot of the issues that both these characters struggle with stem from how messy their falling out was, and had Mami been more supportive and Kyouko not abandoned her after the death of Kyouko’s family, a whole lot of grief could have been avoided.

MamiSaya (Mami X Sayaka)

Your ideal date is getting sempai to notice you.

You have gotten into at least one altercation with Anticrack-Kun.

MadoMami (Madoka X Mami)

Your ideal date is getting kouhai to notice you.

You’re just here for some girls being friends, gals being pals.

MamiNagi (Mami X Nagisa)

You were already shipping Mami with the human form of Charlotte before The Rebellion Story came out, and even afterward you’re still unwilling to let go despite how uncomfortable it makes you now, to the point where “Aged Up Characters” is a regular tag in your ao3 searches.

Either that, or…

HomuMami (Homura X Mami)

You’re a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of passive-aggressiveness.

You were tilting your head in a particular manner during that scene where Mami ties up Homura, and feel that how it ended was a real missed opportunity.

You had to pause The Rebellion Story for about five minutes after the gunfight, and after you continued you shouted, “Goddamn it, Sayaka!” out loud.

HomuSaya (Homura X Sayaka)

This is the same joke as the first part of MadoHomu, but with the Sanrio switched out for a Footlocker.

Your favorite ao3 tag is “Hatesex.”

KyouHomu (Kyouko X Homura)

You know what's better than one edgy badass girl with a tragic past? Two edgy badass girls with a tragic past.

You felt that both these characters spent too much energy pursuing someone that just weren't into them as they were, and would better off settling with someone on more equal footing.

You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of game recognizing game.

You really wish that they reached that ramen shop in the movie.

KyouMado (Kyouko X Madoka)

Your favorite highschool relationship dynamic is edgy delinquent/ray of sunshine.

You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of “gap moe.”

HitoSuke (Hitomi X Kyousuke)

You feel that these two characters get way too much hate, and everything that happened wasn’t their fault. Like, come on, guys. How could they have known that their teenaged relationship drama would be exploited by a race of emotionless alien groomers?

Your main priority is keeping things canon…and you don’t have a whole lot else to work with.

HitoSaya (Hitomi X Sayaka)

You feel that the most effective way of resolving a love triangle is eliminating the heterosexual options.

You feel that when Hitomi declared, “Girls can’t love girls!”, Sayaka’s reaction ought to have been, “Challenged accepted.”

SayaSuke (Sayaka X Kyousuke)

You just want good things for Sayaka, but only in a first four episodes kind of way.

You are heterosexual.

SayaHitoSuke (Sayaka X Hitomi X Kyousuke)

You feel that the best way of resolving a love triangle is by connecting the bottom two axis.

You are heterosexual. Or possibly bisexual. Well, regardless, you are really horny.

HomuHito (Homura X Hitomi)

You’ve played the portable game.

MadoHito (Madoka X Hitomi)

You are constantly frustrated at how little attention this ship receives. After all, weren’t they friends too? But instead people seem to be more focused on shipping characters that don’t even like each other or never even interact in the show, and at this point you’re just glad that I acknowledged it in this silly meme post.

MamiHito (Mami X Hitomi)

You want to be a wealthy, unmarried Victorian duchess who is noted by history for your incredibly close relationship with your lovely companion who lives with you, does everything with you, up to and including sharing a bed, and after both of your deaths scholars will make note of what great friends you must have been.

KyouHito (Kyouko X Hitomi)

You were going out of your way to piss off Anticrack-kun. And really, who wouldn’t?

KyouSuke (Kyouko X Kyousuke)

You were going out of your way to piss off everybody, and I salute your courage.

HomuJun (Homura X Junko)

You are really into Pixar moms.

Also, obligatory…

KazuJun (Kazuko X Junko)

This is the same joke as the second part of MadoMami, but you’re also really into Pixar moms.

MadoKyu (Madoka X Kyubey)

I can’t say for certain whether or not you’re a monsterfucker, but you certainly enjoy the chaos that the very implication of this ship creates.

PolyMegucas (Madoka X Sayaka X Homura X Kyouko X Mami)

You don’t understand why there has to be so much drama between all these different pairings. All the girls are wonderful in their own ways, and they would be so much happier if they just stopped fighting, formed a loving and mutually supportive team dynamic as was seen in the first part of the movie, and possibly smooched one another.

Also, you are extremely horny.
