Pluto conjunct Leo MC 17th°: Brought synergy in her art making her stand out in her career and the music industry. She was a member of the funk band, Rufus in the early 70's that brought amazing hits from that era.

Listen to "Wait" Her new album "Denial is a River" is a reflection of the shadow work and the reality of being an artist drumming to her own beat. Jupiter in Pisces: Music is her sanctuary and religion. She writes empowering music that can be used as affirmations & mantras. Spiritual liberation and relatable storytelling.

Life Path Number 9: Mars, Jupiter, expansion, connection to the masses/foreign cultures, humanity, teacher & student Birth Number 7: mystery, intuition, healing, and wisdom. I discovered in an article, her stage name "Hemlocke" came from a name generator and she added the "e" at the end to pay homage to Lorde. Hemlock is a plant and tree used for medicinal purposes. Scorpio Sun & Venus: Her music is centered around processing her intense emotions dealing with awkward phases, growth, love & heartbreak, depression, and lack of control. She places those feelings on upbeat, quirky, synth-pop melodies, adding depth from a playful and humorous space in her music. Jupiter in Pisces: Connecting to music is also a spiritual & emotional release for her. The lyrics of her song "pos" verse, "I was made for the war, fix eternal scars, But here I am rockin' with my flimsy camisole". I associated these lyrics with her plutonian/martian nature.

Birth Number 1: Natural leader, Sun, Leo, solo artist, ambitious, creativity, independent. Life Path Number 7: Mystery, intuition, knowledge, wisdom. Gemini Sun & Jupiter in the 11th House: Versatile, able to cross over into the Neo-soul & Dance/House genres. Taurus MC: Child artist, ballet, modern dance, and singer. Vanessa Williams introduced Jillian and her siblings to music & dance at two years old. Venus in Cancer in 12th house: Private family and love live. Her pregnancy & partnership with her bandmate, Lucas Goodman were a secret to the public until she announced it a month after giving birth to her son. Generational gifts passed from maternal lineage. Motherhood brought her closer to her mother. Jillian's Mars is 1° Leo and AS 29°: Critical degree. Her vitality is dedicated to the creation of music and family. Her voice is unique, like a lioness's roar. Known for her signature golden mane and melodic voice.

She uses her platform to bring awareness to social issues that include the injustice and exploitation within the black community. Life Path Number 2: Voice, collaboration, harmony, justice, Moon Mars in Libra in 11°, Sun & Mercury in Virgo: Witty storytelling with blunt lyrics. Her music reminds me of spoken word. I feel like Fatimah's lyrics are love letters to the community.

The Matrix: Neo's Office

[fiouldomestique]

I've been on a quest to play every video games in which Keanu Reeves is. I've already completed Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4 (yes, the awful version), Path of Neo and Constantine on the PS2. And I gotta say, they're all great, but the Constantine one is particularly fun. It's different from the storyline of Constantine (2005), it's interesting and allows different types of gameplays. Going from investigations, to puzzles, to combat phases (lots of fun weapons) and it keeps alternating between levels in the real world and hell. You can unlock some extra story boards and interviews by finding stuff in game. If any of you have the opportunity to play it, I highly recommend.

Path of Neo is fun as well, it gives you some knowledge on whatever the fuck Neo was doing in between movies (training and freeing people from the matrix, like in the animatrix animation series iykyk). The controls are awful though and the camera is as well (typical PS2 bullshit). There are also some absolutely absurd plot points, there's a level in which you have to fight humanoid ants ??? (My fav part of The Matrix saga was when Neo fought ants, we all remember that scene right ?) However, it has a pretty amusing Lily and Lana Wachowski cameo, and I guess the girls were just being crazy when writing that scenario.

[synthient]

They weren't kidding, that Enter the Matrix can have unpleasant and poorly designed game mechanics (don't think I can blame it all on my not being The Ultimate Gamer this time)

Really funny that I was thinking who in their right mind would play as Ghost though right before the game goes "are you red or blue on this?" "You know me. It's not a choice, it's a lifestyle" [cuts to player select screen where Ghost is wearing a blue shirt and Niobe is wearing a red one]

Un día como hoy en el 2005 fue lanzado el videojuego The Matrix: Path of Neo para la consola PS2.

[windydrawallday]

"Windy, how the heck can you make it work shipping a character with other characters?!"

Simple: when I interpret/write characters (and my OCs) I don't see it as a linear path... I explained to a creative buddy by comparing it to how one would program for a Visual Novel/Hypertextual game.

I don't see one path but MANY paths that go in one direction or another and even, mix together! And I like each path equally, crafting them with the same care because they are all valid to me.

(And I'm always super thankful to my creative buddies for letting me delve into these paths without drama).

The other reason that's a more personal/silly view is that... I only have one life and only one linear path. But in fiction, there's no such limit. So: why I would cut the many possibilities of an imaginary entity and private it of what I can't have?

So, I let characters roam a labyrinth like rats and decide how to navigate based on what I put there for them to take.

... that means too I will sometimes leave a few traps between the treats because I'm a sucker for angst, there's no way to evade that part of me hahaha I think is a good trade for what I offer.

NEO X READER HEADCANNONS

– If he misses you while he’s away, sometimes little glitches happen around you—a flickering streetlight, a radio picking up odd signals, a cat crossing your path twice. It’s his way of reminding you he's thinking of you.

– When things calm down, he takes you to hidden, beautiful parts of the Matrix—like an empty rooftop with a breathtaking skyline or a quiet simulated coffee shop, just for the two of you.

– No matter how chaotic things get in the Matrix or the real world, Neo always finds his way back to you. Even if he's been gone on a mission for days, the second he sees you, it’s like he never left.

– Sometimes, when he jacks into the Matrix, he ends up in a dream-like simulation of a peaceful world where it’s just the two of you—no war, no fighting, just a quiet life together. He never tells you, but you’re the one thing he truly longs for.

– Neo is usually cool and composed, but when it comes to you? His kisses are slow, lingering, and filled with unspoken emotions. He always presses his forehead to yours afterward, as if memorizing the moment.
