#the knowledge and insight

[studentbyday]

y'know there are some things i think i've gotten over, but in (rather frequent) moments of insecurity, i realize i'm so not over them. the bite of their memory still frustrates me and makes me bitter and somehow, despite me having had *no control* over the outcome, makes me feel guilty and inadequate.

it's really stupid.

i'm hoping that writing this down will help me realize how ridiculous this is and that the fact that i did not get what i want and felt i deserved does not mean that i need to break myself even further to prove my worth.

guilt and feelings of inadequacy (and loneliness and dread and uncertainty/anxiety and anger and any other feeling that leaves me bitter) or a desire to prove myself worthy to others (which is smth i can't control) should not be my main motivator for getting ahead. my motivation should come from a place of gratitude for having the opportunity to do so. do it for the joy of expanding my brain, for the joy of a job well done, for the hope that doing something in line with my goals rather than nothing (since i clearly can't do everything) will change how i think and feel about myself for the better (no more depressive episodes! state changes!!!)

TWO strawpages requests cause I thought it was funny they were next to each other, someone just really wanted them to cuddle

I genuinely believe that when it comes to gift-giving, just saying what you want is cheating. Gifts are a way of communicating your ongoing awareness of a person---a good gift says ''I have been paying attention to you in a hundred moments, all the off-hours and sidelong comments, and this is what I learned," while a bad gift is "idk, I got you this, it was expensive."

Did you know that kyrptoniains (??) [The species supers are], can get anyone pregnant? Doesn't matter gender, man, woman, I just wanted to spread my knowledge

-🍰

This is my absolute favorite interpretation of this because I find it so incredibly funny LOL

Like imagine with me if you will 😌

Damian: ... I'm pregnant...?

Jon thinking Damian is joking: What? No you're not

Damian, dead serious: Jon... I'm pregnant

Jon:

Jon: Shut up no you're not that's not biologically possible

Damian: Oh trust me I know that just as much as anybody else so what the hell is going on!?

Jon: I don't know!

Damian: Well we're going to find out!

And that's how Damian's family finds out that he is indeed pregnant because he came to them declaring them to do test on him and now Bruce is calling Clark for an explanation and to come get his son out of his house.

Jon: Why didn't you tell me I could break the laws of biology!

Clark: Look to be fair!... I honestly didn't know that was possible either...

Jon: What do you mean!? I feel like that's kind of important to know dad!!

Clark: In my personal experience I've only ever had sex with women!

Jon just going through it: Oh my god...

And so Jon and Clark learned something new about themselves that day too

Hmmm

Thanks to a post in the Inhun tag, I've been having more thoughts. The poster shared a screenshot of the books in In-ho's apartment:

So of course I was curious and had to go look up what this book was. Now, anything I say beyond this point is based on the 30 min research I did so please keep in mind I make no claims to be an expert on Lacan or whatever. If anyone who did study Lacan has anything to add to this or correct, please feel free. I took some screenshots of some interesting aspects about Lacanian theory that I felt seemed potentially connected to In-ho and Inhun.

In-ho having a book on this theory is interesting. If he agrees with any or all of the things Lacan says, then it makes sense why he has little regard for the players, who he sees chasing the desires they'll never truly fulfill. That they subconsciously enjoy the fight for desire above attaining the desire itself, and so they'll always go against self-preservation, if it means they continue that "pleasure". However, that last screenshot I took is particularly intriguing to me as in Inhun shipper, lol. I mean, it shows that In-ho has perhaps reflected on the fact that deep down all he really desires is love. But given the things he's seen and done, and the rest of the theory, maybe he sees that as a thing he'll never have again. If he ever truly had it (as some of the things I've been reading on the theory suggest that at it's most basic, all love is conditional and can be taken away at any moment).

We see In-ho fixating on Gi-hun, who has shown that he's willing to put aside his own desires to help others. And if he is able to disprove In-ho's views on the games, perhaps Gi-hun is capable of unconditional love, counteracting Lacan's theory.

I don't know if the creator of Squid Game also wanted to use this theory to color the entirety of the show, but I could see this being a possible indication we could get a happy ending (well, happy for Squid Game, lol, I don't expect everyone to make it out unscathed after all). That's if he intends this all to be a dispute of the theory of course, especially since the theory does have quite a number of critics. Given in an interview he said Gi-hun is based a little bit on himself, I'd imagine that Gi-hun's optimism and hope is not meant to be entirely quashed, you know?

Again, not an expert on this, but I found it something worth thinking on, especially when it comes to analyzing the character and the ship (and potentially the show as a whole).

Philosophical wisdom is the philosophizer's quite personal affair. It must arise as his wisdom, as his self-acquired knowledge tending toward universality, a knowledge for which he can answer from the beginning, and at each step, by virtue of his own absolute insights.

✨ Astro Insights ✨

Astrology also can be used to explore ways to identify one's strengths, weaknesses and how to improve your physical and mental health. Part 1 covers the 1st house, this is part 2 with looks at the 6th house and part 3 will focus on the 8th house. I will also make a separate post for mental health houses.

Please be mindful these are just my own studies and do what is best for your circumstances and what feels good for YOU!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

6th House

In astrology the 6th house governs daily habits, diet, exercise and illness. It shows in how someone manages their wellbeing and any potential health issues.  The 6th house shows how you manage health, work, and daily routines. Understanding its placements helps optimise wellness, revealing health strengths, weaknesses, and ideal habits.

The person's health is specifically attached to their ability to advance at work and their work environment, thus any trouble that shows up in the 6th house can adversely affect one's general sense of wellbeing. 

Best Exercises Routines Based on 6th House Sign:

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) Need high-intensity workouts to burn excess energy. Exercises like HIIT, running, weightlifting, kickboxing etc

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) Thrive with slow, steady exercises. Yoga, strength training and hiking could be good for these signs.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) Need variety and movement-based workouts (dance, cycling, Pilates, social sports)  

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) Benefit from fluid and mindful movements and exercises like swimming, tai chi, yoga and breath work could be suitable for these signs.

Scorpio 6th house 

Scorpio here suggests intense health cycles—you might experience periods of great vitality followed by periods of deep exhaustion. Your body may be highly regenerative, but you could also be prone to chronic or hidden health issues that take time to diagnose.

The reproductive system, bladder, and detoxification organs (like the colon) may need extra care. Since Scorpio is about deep transformation, alternative healing methods (detox, therapy, or even energy healing) can be beneficial. Work-related stress can deeply affect your health, making emotional resilience crucial.

Since Scorpio's energy is intense, powerful, and transformative, their works could be ones that channel emotions into movement (boxing, weight lighting, martial arts), include intense yet therapeutic activities (hot yoga, sauna therapy, swimming) and promote deep relaxation after exertion (breath-work, stretching and massage therapy could be beneficial for this placement)

Libra 6th house

When Libra is in the 6th house, individuals with this placement may struggle with blood sugar imbalances, for example too much sugar or processed foods could cause fatigue, skin breakouts, or hormonal fluctuations.

Hormonal & sugar sensitivities can be an issue for this placement as Libra/Venus energy can affect hormone balance leading to issues like acne, bloating, or weight fluctuations. Digestive Issues may arise from emotional stress. Health can be affected by toxic relationships, work stress or emotional imbalance.

Libra in the 6th house suggests social or aesthetically pleasing workouts like dance classes, group fitness activities or workouts with a friend, this could help with staying committed. Avoid overly aggressive, harsh workouts as you need harmony, not exhaustion, and 

As Libra is ruled by Venus, this means that beauty and wellness and a solid skincare routine, massages or even aromatherapy outdoors improve both physical and mental health. Creative outlets like painting, listening to music or design can reduce anxiety & improve wellbeing.

Aquarius 6th house

When Aquarius is in the 6th house, your health and daily habits are unconventional and unpredictable and people with this placement might struggle with sticking to routine for too long before getting bored.

Holistic or alternative health practices could be interesting such as herbal medicine, biohacking or cutting edge wellness trends.

Aquarius rules circulation, the nervous system and lower legs like the ankles, calves, shin, watch for issues like restless leg syndrome, poor circulation and random energy crashes. Also Aquarius being ruled by Uranus, there can be sudden or unexpected health issues.

Individuals with Aquarius in the 6th house need to create a flexible health routine  and incorporate variety to keep things engaging. Movement based activities like trampolining, cycling or dancing can be good in supporting circulation.

The “I work hard, enjoy some of it, but others enjoy the most” placement

Jupiter-Saturn aspects in natal chart means you are the one who is creating generational wealth in your family, but not necessarily the one who will enjoy the most of it. Depending on the type of aspect it can either be something you are totally okay with (conjunction + trine/sextile) or have difficulties with accepting/managing (square and opposition).

Mayer Rothschild with Jupiter-Saturn in Leo is a good and big example of it. He had to work his ass off to leverage his whole family, enjoyed some of his wealth, but mostly created an empire for the next generations to enjoy the most. To the point where the public and the entire family are fully aware of who originated it.

Also good to mention that the following artists have this conjunction and are known for being the ones to have elevated their entire bloodline: Beyonce, Britney, and Christina.

This aspect was referred as a “karmic wealth” placement by a Jyotish astrologer (Luna Giselle) which is a very accurate way of summarizing it.

In Vedic, it is called a Mahayoga. It describes how these natives have done a lot of positive deeds in their past lives, and in this lifetime, they get to receive the positive effects of those actions, even though there might be some delays, they will enjoy all the good influences from it regardless.

Leverage 4x8- "The Boiler Room Job"

[aadmelioraa]

When your oldest brother dies on a religious crusade just as you feared he would and your father refuses to deal with his grief just as he refused to deal with it when your mother died (you were a baby btw) and then again when your other brother left home (because your dad was impossible to live with) and in spite of feeling entirely abandoned by your dad you use your newfound higher status to put yourself out on a limb in order to downgrade his punishment and that of your close friend despite grieving their involvement with the queen who led your brother to his death but instead of your father acknowledging your pain and your attempts to do what you believe will bring justice he lashes out at you by comparing your current position to the horrific way your mother died…just Eärien things
