Took Me a lot of Hours to do this but I finally managed to finish this line-up of Mermaids. So you remember when I mentioned that my version of Salacia has 14 Sisters? No? Well, here is my very own lose adaptation of the Nereids/Oceanids (who were the sisters of Amphitrite) from Greco-Roman Mythology. Only in my version, since Amphitrite is the Daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, Nereus and Doris are Salacia's Parents. From Left to Right (Oldest to Middlest to Youngest); Top Row: Morgan, Marella, Kaia, Oceana, Daria, Mira, and Adva Bottom Row: Aqua, Cascade, Lana, Miriam, Nerissa, Marley, and Nixie.

The Last Chapter of the Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar (Or How the Great Reuniting Matters to Dethklok)

Over the years, [adult swim] has given us so many incredible characters like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Primal, Rick & Morty, The Boondocks, and The Venture Brothers. But one show from [adult swim] has always been my go-to, and that show is none other than Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha’s Metalocalypse (2006-2016 / 2019- present). The band featured in Metalocalypse includes fictional members: Nathaniel Explosion – voiced by Brendon Small (vocals), Skwisgaar Skwigelf – voiced by Brendon Small (guitars), Toki Wartooth – voiced by Tommy Blacha and Mike Keneally (guitars), Pickles – voiced by Brendon Small (drums), and William Murderface voiced by Tommy Blacha (bass).

In 2013, Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha gave us the rock opera smash hit, Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – A Klok Opera as the story picks up after the end of Metalocalypse season 4. For ten years, Dethklok had been relatively quiet with some live shows scattered around featuring creator Brendon Small (guitars/lead vocals), Gene Hoglan (drums), Pete Griffin (bass/backing vocals), and most recently Nili Brosh (guitars). Now in 2023, Dethklok has announced not only a new album (Dethalbum IV) plus a new movie closing out this epic adventure that features a companion soundtrack, Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar (released theatrically on July 21, 2023/Digital and Blu-ray on August 22, 2023).

Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar was written and directed by Brendon Small. The film stars Small, Blancha, Victor Brandt (Metalocalypse), Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner (Grammy® Award-winning musician), King Diamond (King Diamond; Mercyful Fate), Mark Hamill (Batman: The Animated Series; The Machine), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Jon Hamm (Confess, Fletch; Top Gun: Maverick), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Amy Lee (Evanescence), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Juliet Mills (Passions), Laraine Newman (Saturday Night Live), Raya Yarbrough (Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - a Klok Opera), and Livia Zita (2022 winner - Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Award). 

Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar follows the gallant rescue of Toki Wartooth from Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – A Klok Opera where brutal frontman Nathan Explosion is dealing with some extreme trauma after the band battles their former bandmate, Magnus Hammersmith to the death. To make matters worse, the fate of the world now lies in Nathan’s hands as he has been tasked to write the “Song of Salvation”. As you can guess, this task weighs heavily on humanity’s embattled protector. So much so that Nathan’s character will undertake an arduous path to redemption and rebirth as he guides his bandmates through the ultimate battle of good versus evil. As Nathan would say, it just takes him “…a long time to learn stuff”.

After being anointed the new high priest of the Church of the Black Klok in Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – A Klok Opera, Charles Offdensen will once again use his powers of persuasion to get the band motivated to write the “Song of Salvation”. Offdensen would tell Pickles, Nathan’s “trials are yet to begin” but he must first face the fear that “engulfs” him. Nathan might be the key to the salvation of humanity, but his bandmates are also vital to the prophecy. As foretold in the ancient prophecy, the Metalocalypse is upon us and all that is good will die. No biggie, right?

Dethklok will once again face off against well-known antagonists, The Tribunal which includes Senator Stampingston, General Crozier, Vater Orlaag, and most importantly, Mr. Salacia. As in previous episodes, Mr. Salacia and The Tribunal will once again make life very hard for Dethklok in their attempt to save humanity from the impending Doomstar. Unbeknownst to the band, the “Song of Salvation” is just a part of the prophecy to save humanity. Dethklok must also find the strength to look within to find the final piece needed to defeat the Doomstar. If Dethklok fails, then they cannot stop the impending doom of the Metalocalypse and the Great Reuniting. Will Dethklok complete the “Song of Salvation” in time to save the world? Well, you will have to watch Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar to find out.

Of course, as the saga ends, one would expect to see cameos from previous characters like Dethklok’s chef Jean-Pierre and music producer extraordinaire Dick “Magic Ears” Knubbler. But the most important cameo to grace their presence was none other than the self-proclaimed “rock and roll clown”, Dr. Rockzo. This scene will go down as one of the best Dr. Rockzo montages ever seen on Metalocalypse. Overall, Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar is a brilliant conclusion to the epic Metalocalypse saga that any fan of the series will instantly hail as a cult classic. I have already watched it a few times over the last weekend and even after this review is published, I will continue to watch it because it is that good. Some shows when they bring the story to an end, it feels rushed at times or maybe they do not tie up all the necessary storylines. Not Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, this movie will leave the viewer satisfied knowing Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha were able to finish Metalocalypse as intended. Thank you, Brendon, and Tommy. Thank you for wanting to give closure to an idea that amassed dedicated fans across the globe.

On August 22, 2023, Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar will be available on Blu-ray and digitally on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and more. Blu-ray special features will include a featurette entitled Behind the Metal Curtain. This in-depth look at the making of Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar will have interviews with show co-creator Brendon Small and his team of writers, animators, and musicians as they share their stories and experiences as they turn this [adult swim] series into its first feature film. Currently, MAX has the entire Metalocalypse series and Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – A Klok Opera available to stream, so go get a Metalocalypse marathon going in honor of the release of the final chapter in this legendary saga.

Kisekae Insights #20: Sea Princesses Part 4 (Answering the Barracuda Kingdom saga and more post-mortem updates)

“Sea Princesses… Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.” – in response to a Brazilian Twitter meme

This is the first time I’ve revisited a completed segment to add more content to it. Back in #13, I teased a storyline for Soulbound Series 4 that answers the mysteries of the Barracuda Kingdom saga and Duante from Sea Princesses. At the time, I was taking a break from writing the story due to the coronavirus lockdown, but a couple of months ago, I was finally able to finish it and continue writing new stories. The embargo date I set for the story’s premiere has passed, so I want to take the first opportunity I can to share it with you all. Also, I want to address a few Sea Princesses-related things that have come up, but that will come later. Let’s get right into it.

Prerequisite requirements

Even though this is a Soulbound story, the characters from that series have very little involvement in the two-parter – in fact, only three minor characters show up and they mostly help the others in the fighting (I’m not good at working with large casts lel). That is why I’m able to tell this story to you without spoiling anything else.

The following Sea Princesses episodes are required viewing in order to understand this story:

The Lost Kingdom

The New Princess

The Guardians

The Healer

Reviewing the previous instalments of Kisekae Insights covering Sea Princesses (#11, #12 and #13 linked above) is recommended, but not required. The only main assumption made is that the Dryland girl (Windy) and her mother from The New Princess are descendants of the lost Barracuda Royal Family.

Lorah’s backstory

In #11, I wrote that Lorah wasn’t known to be a part of any royal family, but before continuing with the writing of the story, I found some introductory material I wrote in 2018 that stated that Lorah was the Barracuda Prince. I almost couldn’t remember writing it, but instead of making plans to change it later, I decided to utilise that plotline I forgot for three years (because I forgot to mention it in Decade, but I’ll fix it eventually).

Years ago, when the Barracuda Palace was destroyed in an earthquake, Lorah and a few of the royal family’s servants were thought to have died when they were forced to flee. Unbeknownst to them however, Lorah and the servants were saved by their fellow barracuda who had arrived to see what was going on. Lorah was taken to the Farlands, where he was raised by his family’s servants before he returned to Salacia some time after the end of the Time War. The kings and queens recognised him and allowed him to become a general in the Salacian Army, granting him a castle in the Turtle Kingdom to use as a base along with an army of Oni Riders. Nobody brought anything up about his family because they had no clue where they were.

Windy’s backstory

As I stated in #13, the name of the “new princess” is Windy Adams, a tribute to the namesake character of the third Sea Princesses main series book, The Windy Letters. Windy is 24 years old during her appearance in the two-parter, meaning that she would have been 7 years old during The New Princess. You could argue that she looks older, but then you could say the same for Polvina, Ester and Tubarina who are noted to be 7 years old in the official sources.

Fast forward to The Lost Kingdom, where the barracuda learnt that if they helped rebuild the destroyed Barracuda Palace, then there might be a chance that their royal family would return. They were happy for a bit, but then they became grumpy again because their royal family never returned… or so they thought.

Fast forward to The New Princess, where Polvina, Ester and Tubarina were left with more questions than answers after testing Windy, who had already left the island with her marine archaeologist mother by then, to see whether she really was the Barracuda Princess. Many questions are raised; how could a Drylander have read a book written in Salacian? Could someone else have gone onto the island and left “Goodbye friends” in the sand? No, Windy and her mother were the only ones on the island. They had the bracelet from the Barracuda Kingdom with them, so they might have been able to use that to read the book that Polvina had left on the island, but even then, how would they have been able to do it? Assuming that all this is true, then why were the barracuda being happy around Windy?

In 2018, Windy’s family was killed by Dai-Shocker when they attacked Santos. Though Yuki Yamaki and Marcela managed to confirm their links to the Barracuda Royal Family, Windy’s body was never found. The answer to all these questions can be explained with a simple explanation combining numerous elements. Speaking of which…

Duante’s backstory

In The Guardians, we learn that the goddess Salacia appointed the blowfish to be the guardians of Salacia, then covered it up by making each royal family’s history books say that their respective families were the guardians and tearing the respective pages out of the only public version in the Great Library of Salacia. As a result, the blowfish can speak to anyone they wish and be understood by them. Though the blowfish request Polvina, Ester and Tubarina to keep their discovery a secret, Hiroki and Duante are privy to this due to their contact with the goddess Salacia – this is referred to when Ester subtly reacts to them mentioning this secret.

In The Healer, Ester meets Duante, but he only allows her to ask one question and he disappears as fast as he appears. Ester’s only solution is to trick Duante into coming out and when he does, he becomes saddened because he didn’t want to meet Polvina and Tubarina through a trick. Though Duante told Ester that they could never be friends, he never said that it would be forever and as consolation, he gives her his name. So why did Duante seem like a wandering asshole back then?

Orphaned soon after his birth, Duante was found by the goddess Salacia, who raised him to be a guardian of Salacia and a healer of sick and injured sea creatures. Like the blowfish before him, Duante was given the ability to understand and communicate with every creature in the sea. He spent his life travelling around Salacia and the many other oceanic realms, doing what he can to help any sick or injured creature. In the 17 years after The Healer, Duante rarely ever showed up in Salacia.

The Aqua Conspiracy and the Poseidon Myth

The two statements are the titles of each episode in the two-parter.

In 2018, Salacia gave Duante the Aqua Driver and the mission of searching for the lost descendant of the Barracuda Royal Family on Dryland, namely Windy Adams. He managed to track her down to Santos, but he was caught up in a Dai-Shocker attack and was defeated.

Meanwhile, the Kougami Foundation were working on some new Core Medals (based on the new medals of the CSM OOO Driver) in the midst of a black hole paradox swallowing up the Riders and eventually, the world. Though they only made one of each medal to prevent Greeeds from forming, a Greeed still manages to form within the Same, Kujira and Ookami Core Medals before disappearing. The medals reappear in Windy’s house and possess her, transforming her into Kamen Rider Poseidon before she defeated the monsters. Windy’s body was never found that day because Poseidon saved her life.

By the time Duante got to Windy’s house, he was too late to save her family, but then, another supernatural force takes control of the Ebi, Kani and Sasori Core Medals and uses them to possess Duante. The supernatural force was Iemanja, the goddess of the ocean (more like the river according to Salacia) who was disgusted that a lowly Greeed had taken on the mighty name of Poseidon, the god of the oceans.

For the next three years, Poseidon went in search of worthy opponents to fight, but Aqua would constantly get in his way. Salacia’s concern for her two lost children led her to ask Hiroki for help searching for them, while the Kougami Foundation sent out OOO to help find the missing Core Medals.

After helping OOO and his friends fight Poseidon to no avail, Hiroki gets on the beers at the pub with Ester and Lorah. Some exposition dumps are shared and Hiroki gets frustrated at the dead ends and unsolvable mysteries until OOO’s group alerts him to a Greeed nearby.

Polvina and Tubarina encounter Jeopardy, Terumi and Minoru (the three characters from Soulbound) and challenge them to battle, but it is interrupted by Windy, wearing the bracelet and asking if they have seen Iemanja. When everyone arrives and points out that Windy is actually the Greeed, Poseidon takes control of her and begins fighting the Riders. Poseidon’s transformation sequence involves swinging the Deepest Harpoon in a cross, evoking elements of Kamen Rider Durendal’s transformation sequence. After everyone is defeated, Duante/Iemanja arrives and fights Poseidon, defeating him with the Oceanic Break and allowing Windy to regain control of herself.

Following another exposition dump back in the pub, Poseidon takes control of Windy’s body again and disappears to find more worthy opponents to fight in the sea and destroy Windy’s legacy. Tubarina realises that she is heading for the Barracuda Palace, but they can’t get everyone to Salacia by road in time. It is then that Hiroki and Polvina get an idea; the Riders (along with Jeopardy, Terumi and Minoru) use Mirror World to get to Salacia, where they alert the Shark King and all the other Riders. It is there that we get some amazing intercut transformation scenes based off the intercut transformation scene with Z and Geed in episode 15 of Ultraman Z.

Poseidon’s first opponent on the border between Salacia and the Farlands is Saula, the Salmon Princess (Alternative Zero, aka Bebe’s new owner from The Doll) and the Alternative Army. Poseidon defeats everyone one by one as she makes her way to the rebuilt Barracuda Palace in the Valley of Dusk. Aqua and OOO are Poseidon’s final opponents; Aqua has OOO use the Bikaso Combo to hold back Poseidon while he takes his medals, then gives them to OOO who uses the Saramiuo Combo to perform the Saramiuo Break Scanning Charge. After an Aqua Vortex from Aqua, Poseidon is purged from Windy’s body and destroyed as she lands on the throne.

Once everyone gathers at the Barracuda Palace, Windy reveals that her grandmother would always tell stories of how she came from the sea and was the princess of some kingdom until it was destroyed and they had to flee to Dryland. She also passed down her knowledge of the Salacian language in case they ever decided to find it one day. It is then that schools of barracuda begin gathering around the palace, cheering for the return of their prince and the arrival of their new princess. In case you didn’t get it by now, Windy is the lost descendant of the Barracuda Royal Family and therefore, the new Barracuda Princess.

Duante explains to Ester that he didn’t want to be friends with her back in The Healer because he had to keep his role as the guardian of Salacia a secret, but he eventually realised that his attitude back then made him seem impolite. He decides to stay and chat with Ester and her friends to make up for it. Lorah offers to take care of the Barracuda Kingdom in Windy’s absence while Miss Marla tells Windy that in Salacia’s absence, she can answer any questions she may have about the world of Salacia (the book series alluded to the fact that Miss Marla was more important than she actually seemed and in this project, that was because she was the messenger of the goddess Salacia).

With this, the Barracuda Kingdom saga has been resolved and a lot of loose ends in Sea Princesses have been tied up. To be honest, this storyline wouldn’t have existed if it weren’t for Kamen Rider Zi-O; given that Aqua is featured towards the end of the series, my decision to adapt the series in my project meant that I was obligated to introduce him along with any other Rider that was important to the story or original footage. Otherwise, I would have been happy with just saying that Windy and her family were dead and leaving it at that.

In regards to Iemanja’s inclusion in the two-parter – in the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religion (which combines traditional West African religions with Catholicism), Iemanja is the goddess of the sea and their counterpart of the Virgin Mary. Originally, in the Nigerian Yoruba religion, Yemoja (her original name) is the patron saint of rivers. This conflicts with Salacia, who is Roman goddess of the sea, which is why she makes a snarky remark at Iemanja in the story. Of course, this isn’t how I got inspired to include her in the story; it was from a Candomblé hymn named Mamãe Maria (Mother Mary) which had the words “princesas do mar” in the lyrics. I wonder if it would be sacrilege to turn that hymn into a fast-paced techno theme song for Kamen Rider Poseidon?

Post-mortem updates

Since I have covered everything in this series, I don’t want to dwell on it any more than I have because it’s beating a dead horse at this point (unless Fabio Yabu decides to make something new for it). So I want to take this opportunity to address some things before it becomes awkward when I make an update post out of nowhere with no new material to provide.

In the epilogue of the book reviews, I mentioned that Dan Wyllie (who voices Marcello and possibly Sirilo and Veto) had pleaded not guilty to assaulting his wife, Shannon Murphy (who voices Tata), in March 2020. The way I wrote that paragraph made it seem like Wyllie was the villain, but it turns out that everything wasn’t what it seemed. In February this year, Wyllie was found not guilty of assaulting his wife thanks to some selfies he took after Murphy poured yogurt on him. The magistrate stated that Murphy “was not an impressive witness” and that “she had tailored her evidence to suit a scenario in which she had been the original aggressor”. I’m going to leave it at that.

I’ve noticed that the episodes in the Portuguese and Latin American Spanish dubs on Amazon Prime are shorter than the English dubs by 2-3 minutes. While watching a couple of episodes and following along on my transcripts, I discovered that some scenes were cut from the episodes. I have no idea why this is the case, but this seems to confirm my suspicion that the English dub is the original dub.

For some time now, I have been wondering why Sea Princesses got very little exposure over the years. Some of my speculative reasons include the relative novelty of Brazilian animation at the time of production, not exporting the series to Japan, the US or the UK, not getting the books published internationally (or at least in English) until 2020, the just-about-average writing in the series and the lack of focus on other characters besides the main five.

Recently though, I remembered going on the official Sea Princesses website on UOL over a decade ago and having to wade through all the Portuguese in order to get the (low-medium quality) images of the characters. I asked Fabio Yabu if it didn’t cross his mind to make an English website for Sea Princesses or if contractual obligations with Southern Star prevented him from doing so; he told me that Southern Star were apparently supposed to translate the website, but they never ended up doing so. In my opinion, I don’t think he had an excuse not to make an English website, or at the very least, put translated descriptions of the characters on any of his social media or art sharing platforms like Facebook, Flickr, DeviantArt or Tumblr.

It’s been over a year now since my first correspondence with Yabu and while we did discuss publishing the translated versions of the main series books on Amazon Kindle, nothing much has come from that, the two remaining literacy series books to be translated or the mistake in the second main series book on Kindle that is still yet to be corrected. When I reached out to Yabu recently in regards to this, he told me that he is currently busy with projects and the coronavirus has made things much more complicated in Brazil, so things are on hold for now. To be honest, I’ve been iffy over sending him anything this past year because I’m afraid that I might be annoying him, but he’s been pretty cool about it, so I won’t worry so much about it if I decide to send him another email in a few months’ time or whatever.

Anyway, that’s it for Sea Princesses (again) for the time being. The next time I mention something new about it will probably be when Fabio Yabu finally decides to do something or when I talk about it in my adaptation of Kamen Rider Zi-O. I hope you enjoyed reading my theories.

The Sassy Little Mermaid - A MerMay Kidge Trash/Piixie Fawn Collab fic - Chapter 1

So, yesterday, @piixiefawn showed me some incredible art she has made for MerMay!  Me, being useless, hadn’t even remembered, so had nothing prepared, but together we started throwing ideas around and this is what we’ve come up with so far!  We’re hoping this will be a 31 chapter piece, one for each day in May!  Wish us luck!  Art will follow, but Pixie is very busy and she is under no pressure to complete it as long as she’s still feeding me with ideas!

On another note, the names of the kingdoms we took from mythological deities from each region!  Also, everyone is a mer-person, no real land-dwellers!  Just throw them all in the water!

Masterlist

Chapter 1

Princess Katie of the Mediterranean Kingdom of Salacia looked up from her workbench.  There was something truly challenging about trying to adapt their technology to enable their explorers to spend longer on The Great Unwet and she had proved herself one of their best experts despite, or perhaps because, of her royal status.  The entire family were descended from a long line of scientists, their expertise renowned throughout the oceans.  Her brother was no exception, and as he glided gracefully through the entrance carrying a small casket she quirked him a small smile.

‘Are those the samples I’ve been waiting for from Mizuchi?’  She asked hopefully, clearing a gap for him to place the box down.

‘It is, although not as many as we would have liked.’  He popped the lid and showed her.  ‘They don’t seem to know the different variants we can use and have only gathered the most likely.’

‘Which are the hardest to find.’  She pulled a face.  ‘If Dad would just let me…’

‘You know he won’t let you go on an expedition.’  Matt swam over her head, his aqua scales catching the glow of her work lamp.  ‘But, there might be a way around it.’

She narrowed her eyes at him.  ‘Go on.’

‘Mom and Dad want to see you.  Both of us, really, but I already know what it’s about.’

‘So tell me.’

‘And ruin the surprise?’  He chuckled as he picked up a tool from her bench.  ‘Nope.’

‘You’re the worst big brother ever.’  She snatched the equipment out of his hand.

‘I’m the best big brother ever.’  He corrected her.  ‘Also you have an hour to clean up before we’re due to meet them.’

She looked at herself, her violet scales stained with the phosphorescent glow from the components she used.  ‘That won’t take me an hour.’

Matt resisted the urge to roll his eyes at her, knowing that in all likelihood she would get back into her work and forget to clean up entirely.  ‘Alright, I’ll see you in Dad’s stateroom in an hour.’

‘Got it.’  She nodded as he swam out again.  ‘I can get a lot done in an hour.’  She smiled to herself before getting back to work.

Someone wrote it down for them. http://lulu.com/astrology #Astrology #1008planets #RTRRT

Some boring generalizer, an apex of asinine stupidity. It is called cookbooks.

They eventually memorized standard inanities that will be parroted unto your xeroxed default posterity as well in order to cripple their progress.

They equip you with faux Sun sign (no big deal), ascendant (big deal, since ascendant is guardian angel) and zodiacs that never existed n any real skies at all.

One author gloriously informs you that data are wrong but that is what people want: tradition. Then he proceeds to South Seas Bubble: you need real data for that: but said ancient author does not venture into any analyses at all. Why risk? People buy anything anyway. They are easily fooled into thinking someone actually cares.  

What are standard inanities? Alas, too many to enumerate: let’s take a hilarious walk through:

1)Mercury retrograde. They explain it all by Mercury retrograde. A retrograde planet is three times stronger than a direct one: like a dog barking around selfsame tree. The strong points in your horoscope are in fact retrograde planets. They stand there as statement. Idiots treat them as trash. Primitive mind has probably “retro” as something backwards, whilst completely forgetting that a so-called retrograde in fact doubles its forward push (twice). You back up, evade and kick! 2)So, Aquarius is an airy sign? Aqua or aquas :::|:| is an English word meaning water. It is called water-bearer but pertains to air. You must be rather inane in order to swallow such nonsensei. The watery part of the skies include (Salacia in) Pegasus flying above cetacean (Cetus is one of the largest zodiacal ascendants and ruler of this Aeon) waters, Capricornus which is (clearly) watery demon, uterine faint Aries (glyph is womb), Pisces Austrinus, Eridanus (deepest zodiacal ascendant), Pisces, Aquarius… 3)When a planet enters Aquarius in midst of Capricornus it is thus called “ditched” or in the moat (as in “vs turreted”) or (as originally delineated) trapped. E.g. Brexit Moon was originally trapped (in the moat betwixt twin towers), then cetacean (in Cetus III) and so on: this ditto original prediction remaining Brexit will never happen. Or hardly, indeed. 4)75 degrees aspect – oh come on – 108 – alleged “programs” abound with alleged aspects along with alleged houses merely for the crook to sound intellectually asinine. Semi-quadrile! 5)These “programs” are quite unable to calculate conjunction, opposition or new Moon. 6)They are unable to tell you everything so Nostradamus had semi-quintile with Chiron... 7)Te list of inanities would require folio volumes the size of Alexandrian library. 8)The less they know the more self-importantly asinine they make it sound. 9)Among 1008 planets Chiron – a deprecated burnt comet of some sort as dubbed by a castrate. 10)Castrate for the castrate. Wounded healer, muahhahha... You wish. Asinine stupidity has no cure at all.   11)Perhaps the greatest mis-assumption is that the Sun somehow always rises at east. 12)The primitive mind must think omniverse is orderly circle or disk-world or pizza-cut collection of colorful “signs” which merrily work together: Capricornus which is clearly watery monster conveniently climbs into earth sign while even more clearly watery Aquarius becomes airy sign just because it fits someone's idiotic convenience – conversely the zodiac would be determined by the Sun (the zodiac is determined by everything else but the Sun, which can be omitted from any analysis) with planets orderly following suit (they don't). 13)This is two-dimensional nonsensei. Venus, the Moon and the rest (not to speak of Eris, Pluto and the 1008 planets) simply never follow any Sun at all. There is nothing like two-dimensional “orderly” solar system from cookbooks and kindergarten imagery. 14)The Sun is not in Aries for string equinox – not that it matters much – it is in Cetus. 15)The peak of the Aeon of Cetus just happened with Jupiter and Uranus in Cetus. 16)Saying that there are 12 equal signs would be like having two or three (arch)angels only. 17)Just because you know nothing, that does not give you the right to preach. 18)Now if Greenwich has no idea of zodiacs – not even elementary lunar zodiac - or even ascendant sets – imagine Australia fancying they are on the northern hemisphere, thus entitled to parrot all the idiocies as booked by London area already: tons of trees cut in order to print crap. Unable to determine ascendant, lunar position and Sun sign, they took to writing. 19)The result is that in the Aussie idiot's “mind” the USA has Polar Star ascending at east. The best is that no one seems to notice such monolith inanities, much as nobody noticed that e.g. Gemini never rose at east for the past 7000 years. The southern skies differ from norther ones: any toddler knows this. Meaning if “astrologers” on the northern hemisphere are all mad, those in the southern one must be raving mad: and “Polar Star rising at east” proves it. 20)The asstrolloger will knowingly assert that the Sun is where it is surely not, then knowledgeably proceed across a well-paved parrot-path to ever-repeating daily inanities. 21)Usually they are knowledgeable of events that took place already. If they did not predict it – since they can not predict noon – then perhaps someone else did – typically Nostradamus – he didn't. He failed the year of his own death by one (year): not a bad result in a total amateur but one would expect more from an Astrologist. But taking into account that he was magus rather than astrologer, everything is possible: also, minor errors can and do lead towards e.g. one degree of +- shift in calculi. There are 555 types of calculi and at the time not every direction was at disposal of Nostradamus who perhaps did not dabble too much into sphere trigonometry. 22)Non-extant or ridiculously tiny planetoids have been given precedence over clearly huge frozen potatoes – rocks in outer space – the #1008planets   23)Much attention is given to degree, as if there were such thing as zero Aries or 29 Scorpius. 24)Scorpius shares one of the thinnest ecliptic crossings in the whole of the zodiac: the Sun e.g. spends six days – a week at best in Scorpius. 25)The Sun is in Virgo for Halloween. It is in Libra for Maduro's and Sai Baba's birthday November 23rd.   26)Failing to calculate ascendant is fatal in e.g. demon evocation or god-forbid invocation. 27)Surely many a medieval wannabe has produced chaos immense even in good intention. 28)An asstrolloger who does not even presume to predict is better than one who does. 29)Some crazy females tried to predict with transits and solar return! 30)While solar return is sheer inanity, transits are perused only after directions have been calculated – in fact transits are directions, one among 555 directions as least important of all.
