#ruthless boys of the Zodiac

[bookishbethanyerin]

So you want to read ✨Zodiac Academy✨ but when you look up the series, you have no idea where to start. The prequel novella? The prequel *series*? Book 1? There are multiple ways (and no true right way!) to approach this, but there is a way that I think is best suited for binge-reading *and* makes the most narrative sense!

So without further ado: my updated Zodiac Academy recommended reading order.🤓

✨Seth on the Moon and Night are both available ~for free~ in the authors’ Facebook group (Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti’s Reading Tribe)

[vegaxroyalist]

i would like to discuss zodiac academy and the ruthless boys of the zodiac. might make a spreadsheet of places where one series references the other.

I’m not finished with Warrior Fae, and I’m not sure I want to be lol. There is so much story left. I’ve read most of the ZA books, so it seems like Drago has accepted the deal w LA. Ahh, I just don’t know.

Reading Guide for The World of Solaria by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

Sharing the two reading guides for the world of Solaria series by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

The World of Solaria by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti contains three separate series: Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, Zodiac Academy, and Darkmore Penitentiary. There’s no right way to read these series but there are two different recommended ways you could go about it. The first one is chronological order and the other is publication order. So, I thought I would share each of those here.…

[chaiteareads]

I decided to hold off reading ZA book 7 and go to the ruthless boys of the zodiac. I think I should of started Dark Fae a while ago but oh well. It’s crazy how Gabriel is in this compared how he is in ZA

[just-a-jade]

The books I read in 2022

The Fae series was incredible. So many twists and turns. I love all the main characters, especially Gabriel and Ryder.

Eleanor and Park was also amazing. A proper teen romance/first romance book. But the ending!??!?!

[huntressfeyre]

I didn’t think I would buy the dynamics in a harem book but I loved them so much I can even say that I loved the ruthless boys more than zodiac academy THE HAREM ARE A FAMILY AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH IN SO MANY WAYS

[rottingbibliophile]

I won’t flinch at the worst of you because there is no best of me anymore.

astro observations:

zuko and azula: an analysis into fire and character arcs - part 1:

zuko

(inspired by this tweet):

(disclaimer: i'm not a professional astrologer, these are just insights from a person who is still learning astrology and making connections along the way. thus, please feel free to correct me if necessary, and take my posts with a grain of salt)

aries, as we know is the sign ruler over fire in the zodiac, both literally and symbolically.

so generally it also rules over connotations of fire-related themes such as:

vitality

passion

heat

physical prowess

combat/violence/war

strength

identity

independence

leadership

masculinity

and lastly, funnily enough, physical markings (such scars or tattoos)

zuko's arc is one that begins with fire, quite literally actually, as the act of his father (the central masculine figure in his life at the time) burning his face in punishment for his defiance (which as we know, was zuko considering the lives of the fire nation soldiers that his father saw as disposable) lights the flame that sets him down the path of his character arc.

consequently, zuko making the 'mistake' of showing kindness and subsequently suffering this traumatic event leads to him embracing all of the negative associations of aries energy, as seen in his season one persona.

his determination is ruthless and unyielding, he's quick to anger, regularly throwing temper tantrums and displaying a demanding aggressiveness towards himself and the people working for him. fiercely independent, and refusing any moments of contemplation or rest.

as his character arc progresses, him choosing to sever ties with this version of himself (symbolically shown by him cutting off his topknot) and embarking on a new journey (with a healthier version of masculinity to guide him found in uncle iroh).

this next part of his story is where I'd say libra's polarity with aries comes into play, as in this part of his journey, zuko experiences a calmer, more peaceful existence, shaped by comforts and pleasures such going on a date, working in the teashop, making connections and most importantly, experiencing kindness from others. these interactions I'd say, are crucial in bringing him back into balance.

by 'zuko alone', his decision to wander alone (aries also rules over independence remember !!) into a village and being taken in by a small boy's family unfolds in him having to revisit his wounds around how violence and combat were a central theme of his upbringing, most memorably, him being so accustomed to violence in his upbringing that his idea of a kind gesture is gifting a weapon to a child.

though he's making solid progress, he falls back into old patterns by jumping at the prospect of allowing his father to believe he's k*lled the avatar and regained his honour. though of course, this win is short-lived because its brings him back into his old pattern of anger and self-destruction.

ultimately, his decision to disavow these teachings by finally confronting his father, and criticising his lifelong childhood abuse, he becomes aware of the dangers of perpetuating the circle of violence and how it ultimately leads to repeated suffering (something zuko has personally learned all too well at this point).

in an effort to avoid this, he chooses the path of peace and kindness and subsequently joins the avatar, leading to him finally reaching the developed side of aries in his identity: using his strength, leadership, and determination (aries) as a means of bringing safety, kindness and peace (libra).

(I'd also add that the evolution of his relationship to firebending (literal, physical fire) is also indicative of this - his explosive and aggressive fighting style born of anger and frustration in season one - in comparison to how it transforms after his face-heel-turn leads to his firebending being clearer, stronger and more refined season three.)

thanks for reading!

author's note - thank you so much for 100 followers! this was a bit harder than i was expecting lol but it's done! tumblr's 10 pic limit is k-wording me there were so many more pics i wanted to include😭

part 2 - azula's arc will be up soon!

✼⠀⠀.⠀⠀⠀،،⠀SO S!CK⠀┉⠀is a fictional co-ed band formed in new england by its members as an independent act in january 2011. consisting of COREY, DEVIN, KIAN, and BILLIE, the band began playing college bars across the region while simultaneously posting song covers to youtube.

the early beginnings of attention placed on the band were first drawn from their respective universities. with corey and devin both attending yale university, they quickly became established as a popular college band, appearing across new haven before eventually being invited to perform at bars associated with other ivy league schools in the area. with kian joining the band's older members at yale and billie beginning to attended columbia university, their popularity would skyrocket, eventually allowing them to notoriety necessary to rent out a small studio for the formal recording of their first original body of work.

securing their manager, DENVER OWENS, would prove to be instrumental in so sick's rise in national prominence before the band would sign an exclusive recording contract just five years after forming.

though active in both the asian and western markets, the band has notably struggled to grasp commercial attention in south korea. despite this, members corey and kian frequently appear in korean programming due to their status as members of the highly influential kim family. similarly, billie, has become a rising star within vietnamese media, even securing a spot as a judge on vietnam idol in 2023.

&.⠀ʿʿ⠀✹ ﹕ it's all romanticism, nonsense, rottenness, art.⠀⸻⠀MEMBER PROFILES.

CORNELIUS ALFRED KIM, better known by his stage name COREY KIM, was born the eldest son of business mogul charles kim and his wife, gemini inc. chairwoman, johanna yeun kim on july 27, 1993 in hamburg, germany. from a young age corey made it known that he was a square peg in a family of perfectly rounded circles. he was thoughtful to a fault, much too sensitive for the ruthless expertise necessary for the businesses he would inevitably lead in his fathers' stead.

a torublemaker at heart, corey's interest in the heavy rock records he collected on vinyl only initially served as a rejection of his impending responsibilities. convinced musical success could free him from his imagined shackles of affluence, corey was the one to first bring the band together in 2011. undeniably, corey continues to be the glue of so s!ck, often acting as the mediator between the ambitions of devin and the sober rationalities of kian.

born and raised the third of five daughters, CHRISTINA XIE has never been a stranger to inconsistencies. from her parents' secret divorce to the six cities she had called home before her 16th birthday, her family was never anchored anywhere long enough for devin to care much for anything.

from a young age, she was quite aware of her surroundings. aware of the tension between her parents, aware of her changing environments, but most importantly: aware of the pressure to succeed. the daughter of two celebrity lawyers, devin recognized very early on that she only ever truly fit in with the other misfit kids who stuck to the back rooms of the fancy galas she couldn't stand.

her family's move to new york city in devin's freshman year of high school brought not only new vices to get high off in the school bathrooms, but also a blossoming friendship with a dark haired boy with darker under eyes and an impressive vinyl collection to match. corey and devin's friendship slowly moved from listening to his grungy recordings of their favorite bands to crafting recordings of their own in euphoric stupors in the early mornings before classes.

though corey would never admit it, devin's slow source of joy in the music they'd made together would eventually lead him to assemble a band of their own the summer before their freshman year at yale. as so s!ck's lead guitarist, devin takes an active role in the composition of the band's music, drawing influence from bands like fleetwood mac, paramore, coldplay, and u2.

born the second son to charles and johanna kim on october 15, 1995, MARKUS KIM, usually referred to by his middle name, KIAN, often found himself happiest when he was on his own. the title, "corey kim's younger brother" never bothered him much considering the fact that his brother's peers would never be his own. if anything, in kian's mind, he often reversed the misconceptions people had founded about their family based on his older brother.

the overachieving, know-it-all of the family, kian never struggled with knowing what his place was within the family. frequently, he would even find himself picking up the responsibilities corey had left behind in favor of whatever it was he did in the early hours of the morning. he had his mind set on the future much earlier than most even decide what their favorite color was.

his initial interest in music was brushed off by his family who knew better than to believe he had found an interest other than the family business. but as he began to use music as a free release of negative energy, they all began encouraging him to pursue the industry in hopes of what opportunities it might present him. along the way somehow, corey managed to convince kian to join his band. although apprehensive at first, kian joined the band, figuring he would follow in corey's footsteps for once. currently, kian is the bassist of the group, often lending his talents to playing keyboard for the band as well.

WILHELMINA HUỲNH was born to her parents on a quiet night in december. that quietness seemed to be a common theme throughout her young life. speaking very sparingly until the age of 5, billie always had an appreciation for stillness. it was often in the stillness that she was able to get away from the constant doting of her parents who were particularly protective over their youngest daughter.

early on, billie ventured into child modeling even being featured by major brands throughout elementary and middle school. although she loved getting all dressed up, it wasn't uncommon for billie to throw silent, pouty fits to her parents' dismay.

always a girl of very few words, her parents enlisted the help of a close friend to teach billie to play the piano. unknowingly, they ushered in a love for music within the young girl that would continue to determine her dreams for at least another decade.

becoming friends with kian kim and his older brother corey in her freshman year of high school proved to be the greatest decision billie ever made. particularly so when corey begged her to join his band after discovering her musical talent. continuing to be a girl of few words, billie is regarded as the most elusive member of the band and therefore, one of the more popular members.

How about a long one, I'll pick unemployed Mikasa and her 9 little demons

oh you asked for it. and i'll be giving you their birth month and zodiac sign because i'm annoying like that. this is super long. yes i used the zodiac to craft personalities but it's not perfect and it doesn't align so i'm not bashing here. anyway, enjoy. and i love them all, can't pick a favorite.

-

their firstborn is a girl and she's a january capricorn. i like to think she was born a mini adult. she was born frowning and serious. and as she grew up, that didn't really change. she's super focused and super quiet. no one knows what she's thinking and she just might be plotting your murder. she's super ambitious but she's also super protective of the people she loves. she'll only warm up to someone if they're worth her time and most people aren't strong enough so she has a group of very close knit friends. she has a good relationship with both of her parents but she wishes her dad was around a little more.

their second born is a boy and he's an october scorpio. born the day before halloween, it definitely shows in his personality. he's that tall, dark, brooding stereotype. he's hot but he gives people the creeps because he prefers to linger in the shadows and watch people. he's more in touch with his demon side and is a little ruthless, but it manifests in the most hilarious of times. kill or be killed applies strictly to academics and internships. he's only really soft around his family, especially his mother. his relationship with his dad is not the best because this kid is way too honest and will strip eren down to his bones with how much truth he spits out. he's had only one girlfriend his whole life and they met in pre-school and he decided he'd marry her one day. the end.

their third is a boy and he's an august leo. he's the opposite of his brother. he's hella warm and has a personality big enough for the whole family. but being the third out of so many kids, he actually craves a lot of attention which he doesn't always get. so he works extra hard to get the best grades, he's the president of every club he's in, and even chores are a competition. he's really annoying but it really stems from his anxiety about being forgotten. he also has a temper and he's really hard on himself. but again, he's really warm and friendly and generally likable. he loves his parents and strives to make them proud. he has to be kept from telling people that his dad's an actual demon.

their fourth is yet another boy and he's a july cancer. he's a quiet and sensitive boy. like his eldest brother, he prefers to be in the shadows but he's not off-putting like he is. he just likes to observe people. he catches things no one does because he's so observant. he takes the whole "listen don't speak" thing to heart and as a result, he really understands people and how they operate. when he is upset, he's always going to his mother for comfort. and he's very big on the "forgive not forget" mentality because he will never stop reminding his siblings or even his dad about that one screw up from years ago. he probably has a photographic memory too.

their fifth is a girl and she's an october libra. born a twin, she's a creative and whimsical child. she's basically the embodiment of a fairy straight out of storybook. her head is constantly in the clouds and her favorite thing to carry around is a notebook and a camera because she's always inspired to write something down. because she's so often in her own world, she has a bit of a distant relationship with her parents and her siblings. she stays out of most conflict in the house because it can get pretty intense and she disassociates as a result. when she is involved, she plays mediator. most of the time, though, she's writing or daydreaming about something. she ends buying a cottage in the swiss countryside where she probably becomes an adult fantasy writer. she is a sweet girl but a bit of an airhead too.

their sixth is also a girl and an october libra. born a twin, she's also a quiet creative but while her sister is a writer, she's more of a painter and photographer. unlike her sister, she's a little more down-to-earth and has a much closer relationship to her parents. at first her relationship with her father isn't great but he starts taking an interest in her hobbies and joins her often to go paint or take photos. she plays mediator but she's also a lot better at reading the room than her older twin is. she has a lot of prizes from art and photography contests which makes her older brother compete with her often. she just wants her peace.

their seventh is a boy and a february aquarius like his mother. he's the little scientist of the bunch, going off of hard logic and data. emotions have no meaning or place to him but he's only moved by his mom's tears or pain, but no one else's. he also has a decent relationship with his dad but his dad is perpetually annoyed by how robotic he seems. he's not cold, he's just not emotional. he is there for his siblings when the need arises.

their eighth is also a boy and an april aries. he's basically his dad's mini-me. anger with absolutely no filter or tact. he hates sleeping because sleep is boring and he constantly has to be doing something or he'll actually get depressed. he has a wild imagination though and he's often exploring the world around him because he wants to see more of it. he comes from a loud house so he has to be the loudest one in the bunch so that everyone can hear him. his dad is his idol and he wants to be just like him, while he's super protective of his mother and his siblings. he's fiercely loyal and only sports helps him channel his anger appropriately.

the ninth and final is a girl and a may taurus. she's basically her mother's mini-me. well, she's a lot like canon mikasa in that she's quiet, needs warmth, very loving, a homebody, and very down to earth. being the baby of the family, she's doted on by her siblings and parents. even though she's half demon, she has the temperament and personality of an angel. by the time she's in middle school, she's gotten household chores down even better than her mom. she's a devoted plant mom and wants to be a botanist or florist when she's older. she's just very soft, sweet, and wishes no harm to anyone.

hope you like these anon!

• arc review: that time i got drunk and saved a human •

If I’m going to read insta-love, then it needs to be written by Kimberly Lemming.

I’m on record as a massive fan of her Mead Mishaps series, cozy, hilarious, and steamy fantasy books that follow the adventures of humans and shifters falling in love while they defeat their foes.

With this newest addition to the series, we follow Dante the Storm Dragon (yes, a different storm dragon Dante than in Ruthless Boys and Zodiac Academy!) as he searches for his fated mate, quickly finds her, accidentally kidnaps her, and then tries his hardest to woo her.

It’s a fun romp of a time and though I enjoyed it, I did find it a bit slower and less action driven than the other books. But honestly, it isn’t a problem. This books is still a delight, contains some very fun surprises and cameos, and will make you laugh a lot. It’s a great time – which is exactly what we’ve all come to expect from Kimberly Lemming.

Obito Headcanons

(These are from my old blog).

These headcanons are usually about Obito being a shinobi of Konoha or as a Hokage:

-Obito is able to unlock Susanoo even with one eye. (If Shisui can do it in the game, so can he.)

-Even if he returns to Konoha from Madara's hideout and grows up and becomes the Hokage, Obito still suffers from PTSD. His PTSD is what fuels his desire to put an end to fighting and maintain deep bonds in the village.

-Obito is a Cat Dad. As we all know, it's the one-eyed black cat whom he names Tobi.

-Obito is one of the scariest shinobis that enemies have ever come across, because of how stealthy and unpredictable he is. Sometimes they call him "the cheater of death" because he always manages to fool his enemies into thinking that they got him, but nope.

-Obito would be a member of the Konoha Military Police Force in an AU where he returns to Konoha or if he survives the boulder. :)

-As he matures, his personality is more reserved and collected. There are times when he gets reactive, like when Kakashi gets all snarky on him, but other than that, he becomes less of the stubborn boy he was (depends on the circumstance, because he does get hardheaded at times) and more focused.

-This may not be a headcanon, but when I first saw that Obito is an Aquarius, I couldn't think of anything more right for him. I'm no expert in zodiacs, and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but honestly, I think Obito being an Aquarius is a completely fitting horoscope, especially for the type of character that he is. Ambitious, clever, and also rebellious - he refuses to be a sheep to the norm of society, in this case the shinobi world.

-Obito incorporates his Akatsuki leadership skills into his role as the Hokage. He is a good leader. He gives off a rather intimidating vibe (despite his friendliness), and he definitely cannot stand anything that falls out of order. He is ruthless when he needs to be. His enemies are definitely afraid of him, because once he's provoked, it's over.

-Obito would be the one to lead Danzo's termination (or execution) because he's the one that sees through Danzo's bullshit, and Obito would influence the Konoha Council and Hokage to see through Danzo and expose him as a traitor of the Leaf that wants to annihilate the Uchiha and overthrow Minato as the Hokage.

-Obito would actually be the bridge of peace between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha. At the starting, the Uchiha Clan considered him to be the "black sheep" because of the fact that Kakashi achieved more than he did. But Obito is simply a late bloomer. As he grows up, he would eventually surpass Kakashi. Hell, his Sharingan had 2 tomoe when he first unlocked it, and that's already a stepping stone to becoming a stronger shinobi of his clan. And when he does, Obito becomes more respected by the clan, and in a way, he can influence the underlying political tension between the Uchiha and Konoha. Obito would be the one who is capable of dispelling the unrest and allow the village and the clan to form a better truce.

-Obito loves to stay in shape, so he exercises every day. It's one of his best hobbies.

-Obito would actually be really good friends with Shisui and Itachi, and the three of them working together as a team makes them one of Konoha's strongest trio of the Uchiha Clan. They're the first people in his clan to acknowledge him.

-Most people would see that Obito would have a close relationship with Naruto, but he would actually have a close relationship with both, Sasuke and Naruto. He helps train Sasuke when Itachi is off on a mission, and when Sasuke gets upset with Itachi, Obito would comfort him and only tell him that his brother loves him very much and not take things too personally. He makes sure Sasuke understands the importance of comrades and teamwork. He and Naruto are too alike, so they tend to clash with their ideals. They are both hardheaded and stubborn, so they rile each other up. But Obito would usually be the one to treat Naruto to Ichiraku when Naruto succeeds in something.

-In a post-war AU, Obito would be a fun uncle to Sarada. He'd be her favorite person to spend time with. He's protective of her, and he's always there to comfort her when she starts to miss Sasuke, or if she starts to doubt herself, and he would train her regularly and teach her certain Uchiha techniques. Obito would usually tell her how much she is like her father, which makes Sarada happy and excited. He would sometimes teleport Sarada and Sakura to see Sasuke on the occasion that Sasuke is able to see them. There are times when only Obito is able to see Sasuke, and he'd update him on everything about Sarada.

-Obito's sense of humor only gets darker as he grows up. It just does.

-As the Hokage, he'd be the one to bring the 5 villages together and establish peaceful diplomatic relations with their nations. He'd also give Amegakure the support and protection that it needs, and it would be off-limits and no longer be used as a battleground. The original Akatsuki, the ones that Yahiko, Konan and Nagato established to strive for peace, would actually gain Obito's support when Hanzo starts to only chase after power and disrupt peace. Obito would be the first to establish proper diplomatic relations between Ame and Konoha.

-Obito sometimes brings out his Tobi personality during infiltration or spy missions. xD

-(this is sort of canon but it can be incorporated into an AU where Obito is a Konoha shinobi) Since Obito is a very intelligent shinobi, he's often relied on to read through enemies and he'd be the team's tactician. He has exceptional observational skills, which makes him reliable in knowing what's the best approach to pursue. He's good at predicting outcomes too, so the element of surprise doesn't get to him. He's a master manipulator when he has to infiltrate his enemies; he's the one that knows how to get closer without being harmed, and get the intel that he needs in order to complete the mission.

-Obito isn't afraid to get his hands dirty when it comes to extracting information from his enemies. His genjutsu techniques are brutal, and he scares them in his Kamui dimension, since they can't get out. Konoha's Interrogation and Torture Squad would rely on him sometimes when suspects want to be difficult and when there's no time to waste.

-His favorite weapon is anything involved with chains.

-Obito would take out his frustrations and emotional turmoil in his Kamui dimension, because he hates being vulnerable in front of anyone. He would cry alone over there if he has to.

-He stops being a crybaby after the age of 16.

-Even if he becomes the Hokage, he resides in the Uchiha compounds so he can be close to the Uchiha Clan. They all love him and respect him like crazy. Shisui would be his right-hand man along with Kakashi, even though Shisui is also Itachi's right-hand man (Itachi would be the clan head by the time Obito is the Hokage).

-The system of allowing children to choose a ninja life or civilian life would be established by Obito, and carried on later by Naruto.

-I said this before and I'll say it again, Obito has a yandere streak.

-Just like Itachi, Obito has a sweet tooth and loves desserts and dango. Sometimes he and Itachi would hang out together at the dango cafe or just by a lake or riverside with a bag of their favorite sweets. His least favorite food is anything liver-based.
