Coming Soon

The Whiskey on Your Breath

Being a virginal saloon girl had it’s perks.  Flirting with all the men.  Becoming untouchable to them.  All they wanted was you, and all you wanted was Raleigh Beckett.  But sometimes what you want doesn’t matter.  Not when your innocence is put up for sale.  Losing it all to the highest bidder, while Raleigh had nothing...

Wayfaring Stranger

Newly appointed sheriff Lee Bodecker stumbled in on a secret.  A teacher couldn’t stop thinking about five missing children.  The other sheriff swept their disappearance under the rug, but she wouldn’t let Lee forget about them.  The mountains can’t hide everything.  Lee just never imagined that in finding these children, he would find you, and you were no longer a child.  

Cicadas Dancing Soft & Sweet

When Hal Carter visits his grandmother he did not think he would run into the peculiar preacher’s family.  Having five beautiful daughters made him overly protective.  He was a mean and strict man who would not be happy knowing you couldn’t look away from Hal, and he definitely couldn’t stay away from you.

Red Riding Hood

Stay out of the woods.  It was a simple task.  You failed, but it was your brother’s fault.  Don’t eat the apples.  Failed again.  And now you’re being chased by the most feared thing, or man, in the woods.  You should have listened...  

The Man That You Made

Bucky struggled.  Years of pent up anger and trauma led him to you.  Little by little you tear his walls down, but he was also able to remove some of your own.  Will his past and your professional lead you to run away from him, just like you always do?  *Part of the Keys in Your Ignition AU*

I Love You Like Crazy, Girl

Ari was reckless.  He wasn’t your typical romantic guy.  He didn’t want a house with a white picket fence or a wife with a baby on her hip.  The one woman he tried to be faithful to and thrown him for a loop.  She wanted everything he did not want.  Needed to be loved and cared for, and he couldn’t be that man for her.  And then there comes you.  A long lost relative of someone with connections to his ex, and he becomes addicted to you, and you him.  Twin flames getting high on living crazy.   *Part of the Keys in Your Ignition AU*

Wake Up Call

A mess.  Your life was always a mess.  You should have been faithful to Ryan, especially since he was such a good father.  But your mutual boss was persistent.  Now ten years later will you be able to be faithful to your new husband?  A mess.  It’s what it always was.

All or Nothing at All

Steve Rogers always doubted your feelings for him.  He was supposed to be your everything, but he fell for someone else.  Bucky Barnes was supposed to be your best friend, and nothing more.  Good thing they both got lost in time.  Or did the?

Taking My Heart

Alone in a cold dark basement.  Being taunted by a masked man who was determined to make you his.  He was never going to have you.  Never...

Pistol By My Side

August Walker was dangerous.  Dangerous and sexy.  You would go to the ends of the earth to be with him.  And he would lead you into a life of crime and sin.  It’s a good thing your parents said you would never amount to anything.

Blackberry Winter

Cole Turner was once warm just like the summer.  He was your sun, but then he grows distant.  Just like the chill of blackberry winter.

My Prairie Song

Retiring from the rodeo, Bucky becomes a ranch hand for a local family.  He always enjoyed the quiet life.  Now he needs him someone that’s not so quiet to enjoy it with.  You are the sweet little barista that always talks too fast, but Bucky finds it endearing.  Just means he gets to listen to you more...

Nothing Left to Prove

Having a daughter with cystic fibrosis with Mickey Henry was not easy.  He was great when he was around.  But between her health, and you needing a better support system, you were run ragged.  And then came the new specialist at clinic.  He was kind and your daughter adored him.  But will Dr. Frank Adler be able to let his walls down in order to be a good partner for you?

The Original Dolls

In a world where a man can have a wife and a doll, a real life sex doll.  Pick out by their own hands and used for their pure filthy enjoyment.  Better get used to the life of being their play toy, and these men never miss an opportunity to indulge in playtime, no matter where they are.  And you can’t say no.

Hear That Whippoorwill

Going back to the mountains.  You didn’t even realize you had ever been there.  But when your last relative in those mountains dies, you were left with everything, including all the family secrets.  Now there was too many rules; stay out of the woods, that bridge is dangerous, black cats are bad luck, don’t listen to the whippoorwill, girl.  Too late.  And now Steve has finally found you.  He won’t stop trying to get you, until the curse is finally broke, and now you’re here....

There Goes My Life

Steve was your weakness.  He was the person you loved the most, and then he was on the run.  You had tried to tell him something important, and then the blip happened, and you weren’t able to.  But your secret sure was able to tell him.  Now Steve has to navigate this new life, plus find comfort for himself.  But he never gives up on somehow being able to change what is going on in the world.

The Next Room

What if the man you were completely in love with never moved on from his “best friend”?  How do you cope with your emotions?  How does one even move on from the utmost heartbreak?  Only time will tell.

Hiding Whiskey Scars

Sy’s worst mistake was letting you go.  He didn’t expect to see you on the side of the road beaten and battered.  He won’t be making another mistake again.

Every Ounce of Heart

One you couldn’t stay away from.  The other you were falling so hard for.  Problem was Jake didn’t like that his dog keeper was growing distant.  Didn’t return his phone calls, and then one lonely night...he hears you.  In his roommate’s room.  Now, how will the two of them navigate through their senior year with both knowing what you taste like?  One just wanted to take his frustrations out while the other loved playing with your body and testing out your kinks.

The End As It Begins

You are cordially invited to this season’s marriage market. Becoming the rare and sweet Rose of the Ball. Just the perfect and chaste eligible bachelorette. Bring your dance card, and search for the perfect match. Will it be the General Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers the Duke of Lavenham, Lord Dean Winchester, or Prince Charles Brandon. You have caught all their eyes. But be careful, they’re not the only ones watching. Lady Rose Waterton is also watching and reporting on the gossip of the evening. Make sure you have your chaperone…

A Little Kiss

When an ex leaves an unexpected surprise on Colin Shea’s doorstep, he quickly drowns in just what it is he needs to do.  Trying to be everything that his unplanned daughter needs, but he is at a loss, and has no clue on what to do.  And then there was you.  The librarian that hosted children’s hours, and just so happened to be his next door neighbor.  Even though you are resilient to help him, it’s not the baby’s fault that her father is an idiot.

Have Mercy on Me Please

He was precious like a flower.  He was everything your blackened heart could ever desire, but he fell too hard and too fast.  He was not the usual type of men that you made get into an impossible contract.  They were always iron tight, and unable to get out of.  Cole Riggan was different.  He was too sweet to be damned, but is he someone you’re willing to let go?  And if you didn’t have a heart, why did you want to protect this man?  What would your father ever think?

Double or Nothing

Jake Jensen is a useful ally in the world of the suits.  Beyond smart with weapons, and supposed to be in charge of the Queens.  However, they were more in charge of him.  Unable to speak up to his crew of bad ass women.  You were an angel.  The sweetest thing that he had ever laid eyes on, and you had found you’re way into the rabbit hole.  The nanny to Jefferson and Bunny’s twin boys, and right there for Jake to corrupt.  The perfect specimen of woman for him to control.  Will he ever get the confidence he needed to be the leader of the Queens or was he destine to be their court jester?

As a friend, I can only be glad they never had to walk down the road of crippling anguish and despair. But as someone who travels down the road too often, I can only wish to have another wayfarer. - Aris Disuza

OG 911 Character Details from Canon Pt 2

Hi y’all I’m back! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reblogged the last details post - I sort of just thought people would like it and it would die, so to see it travel and hopefully reach more writers was so great so thank you again!

Details under the cut since I went a little crazy 😅 and if this is your first time seeing this, the first part, and any future parts, can be found under this tag here!

Quick note before I get to the details - always, ALWAYS take details from dialogue or plot over details from the set or props if they contradict each other. The writers have the ultimate say over what happens on the show/for the characters, so whatever they say goes, even if it goes against something props has already laid down (eg, Chim’s birthday, sorry Libra crew. He’s an Aries or a Pisces). So keep that in mind for the future in case some of these details I have which are from props/set are changed in the future, or if you’ve noticed something yourself!

Also if you have questions, I am MORE than happy to answer them, although if you leave them in the tags on this post I’m probably gonna lose them, so if it’s something you’d genuinely like an answer to, drop it in my inbox! Besides my standard “ask” tags, I’m also tagging asks about canon details with this tag here. Every time I make a big post like this, I’m going to link all the asks I’ve gotten since the last post, but if you’re looking for more info in the mean time, that’s the other spot to look!

Buck has a grill on his patio.

Eddie doesn’t hang Christopher’s art on the fridge - instead it is either hung on the corkboard in Chris’ room to the left of the door, or Eddie puts it in an actual frame and hangs it using a hammer/nails in Christopher’s room. All the Diaz family has on their fridge is a bunch of bendy people magnets. (I absolutely ADORE him putting all this effort into treating Christopher’s art like it’s something you’d buy from a professional artist).

Info on everyone’s ages can be found here. (Little more discussion of Chim’s situation here).

Albert has a bachelor’s degree! I don’t know in what though, except that it’s some field for which is a Master’s is useful.

Athena was in a sorority in college, Delta Sigma Theta. Their website describes them as “ ...a sisterhood comprised primarily of Black, college-educated women ... [that] considers the issues impacting the Black community and boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and, hence, all Americans ”, which I love for Athena, and feel is very in-character for her at that time in her life!

Chim is an aviators dude. When he wears sunglasses, they’re always aviators.

Athena also wears nothing but aviators.

Bobby wears square aviators.

Eddie, on the other hand, always wears Wayfarers.

Buck either doesn’t really like sunglasses or he constantly forgets he owns them, since we’ve only seen him wear them once in 60 eps, in a move I’m pretty sure was ONLY for dramatic effect.

Hen’s sunglasses change style over the seasons like her regular glasses do, but she tends to like browline sunglasses.

Info on Christopher’s school can be found here!

There are two colors of dispatch polo, and there doesn’t seem to be any rhythm or reason for who wears what. Maroon - Maddie and Linda. Blue - Josh and May. Jamal has actually worn both maroon and blue, so it doesn’t seem to be TOTALLY set in stone although I’ve never seen anyone else switch. Sue is too badass to wear a dispatch shirt.

Both Bobby and Eddie drive 4 door pickups. Bobby’s is navy. Eddie specifically has a black, 2020 GMC Denali 1500 pickup truck (in case you want to specifically look up what the inside of it looks like or what features it has 😂)

Info on the 118’s medical certifications can be found here.

Correction to Eddie’s living situation from last post: no next door neighbors, but instead UPSTAIRS neighbors. (Pointed out by Abigail in this ask). Also since someone else was wondering the notes of the last post - no, there is absolutely no discussion on the show of whether or not Eddie rents the apartment or owns it. But based on the fact that it’s 1) LA and 2) an apartment, my guess would be he rents it.

When Maddie isn’t feeling like herself, she tends to straighten her hair rather than curl it. It seems to be more when she’s uncertain about her place in her own and other people’s lives, rather than just when she’s simply worried - eg it’s straight in 2B, when she’s uncertain if she wants to continue working as a dispatcher/is unsure about her relationship with Chim.

For work, Chim, Eddie and Buck all use black duffel bags with a LAFD patch on the top. Hen uses several different cute bags, and Bobby seems to have a plain black duffel bag.

Watches - Bobby, Athena, Chim, Hen and Buck all wear their watch on their left wrist (but Athena ONLY wears hers for work, she takes it off at home.) Eddie wears his on his right wrist, and Maddie doesn’t wear one.

Chim (and Maddie by default) literally still have the exact same couch as in the pilot. (Which means that Chim has cuddled Tatiana on that couch, AND Albert has had sex on it. TIME TO GET A NEW ONE, BUCKLEY-HANS 😂)

The 118 has five different rigs - the engine (E118), the ladder truck (T118), two ambulances and the captain’s truck. 95% of the time, when the team is chilling in the cab of a rig and chatting (eg the ‘stuck under a live telephone pole’ scene in Jinx), they’re in the engine, not the truck. (Which I personally learned recently are NOT interchangeable terms!)

Athena and Michael got married when Athena was 37.

If you’d like to give Maddie a full name beyond “Maddie”, you should use Madeline. (I know, I know, in 4x04 she says Maddie is the name on her birth certificate, and that you should never use props details if they contradict script details, but I always thought that was a super weird exchange in 4x04 which could be explained by Maddie getting a nickname since she was born when Margaret and Phillip, you know, actually loved their kids and showed it, so of course Buck doesn’t get one, and in 4x04, Maddie was trying to avoid the entire issue of why she got one and Buck didn’t. But! Do what you want, and use Madeline as the full version of Maddie if you’d like, since that’s what’s on the BOLO in 2x13 😂)

Athena’s call sign is 727 L30, but she doesn’t have a specific squad car - the number changes throughout the series.

Chim really likes chewing gum, but he’s the only one out of the entire family!

The station has an Xbox One S, and it’s white.

In the real LAFD, there are stations 1 through 114. To avoid confusion while filming on the streets (I’m assuming), our fictional LAFD never uses the number of a real station. So if you want another station for a fic, and you want something that would be real in OUR universe, use the numbers 115 and above. They’ve gone as high as 221 in our universe.

Battalions - station 118 is in Battalion 7, which is also not a battalion in real Los Angeles. The 118 has interacted w/ Battalion 1, which is a real battalion, but other ‘non-real which makes them more likely for our universe’ battalions include numbers: 3, 8, 13, 16, 19 and above.

S1 Buck knew the term Jedi, but based on context, didn’t understand AT ALL the context provided by Star Wars, so there’s another edge of his pop culture limits for you.

Chim is the most tech-savvy out of everyone, hands down.

Athena has a VERY active Twitter account.

Abuela’s house number is 8902. I don’t have a street name for you unfortunately though. :/

Athena’s favorite flowers are white roses. None of the other women are really flower people.

Michael likes to wear purple.

When they’re at a call, Buck does pretty much all of the stuff with the hammer and the saw. Eddie does all the work needed with the drill.

Harry goes to Meadowbrook Elementary.

Buck lives on the fourth floor of his apartment building, across the hall from Apt. 416. The lovely @lovelessmotel found this listing for what is more or less the apartment. What happened was: the set crew rented this apartment for the one episode at the end of s2 when Buck moved in, and then over the summer before s3 built their own set of it, and changed some things - eg giving him an island, and moving the sink to a second counter against the far wall, you can see the changes here in this amazing gif set by the awesome Austen, but the listing should let you click around a little more upstairs and figure out dimensions better than what the show provides!

When Athena and Hen go out to eat together, it’s always fast food burgers and fries.

Waffles are Athena’s favorite food, and tiramisu is her favorite dessert.

Every takeout we’ve seen Buck eat has always been in a Chinese food takeout container, and we know he likes Thai food the best. EXCEPT! The one time we see him eat takeout with Eddie and Christopher, they have pizza. So take from that what you will......

Eddie has a cell phone and a landline.

Chim is a shameless multiple texter.

Chim and Bobby sleep closest to the door in their respective bedrooms (both right side of the bed if you are standing at the foot, facing the headboard), and Athena and Maddie sleep furthest away from the door (left side).

Some canon last names for other firefighters at the station in case you wanna add more people to a fic - Mitchell, Sanchez, Serrano (woman), Porter, Meyers (woman), Maxwell, Voyta

Hen and Karen really love decorating their house with dark/red wood.

Karen is Mommy and Hen is Mama.

Bobby has a brother, and a grandmother, and that’s literally ALL we know about his family outside of Marcy and the kids.

Evidence points to Eddie being the oldest child in his family.

Karen has multiple brothers (no sisters), but no idea how many - just that one of them is named Trey, and one of them lives in LA and has kids. They might be the same brother and they might not be.

Both Hen and Athena are only children.

Athena has been on the police force for 30 years.

Christopher and Denny are the same age (born in 2011), and Harry is two years older than them.

Michael lives in apartment 308.

The bank in this universe is CalAm.

Hen and Karen have a picture of Denny, May and Harry on their fireplace mantel.

Eddie having a black thumb + a lot of plants in his living room = him buying fake plants bc he likes the aesthetic ™ or someone (cough Carla cough) is taking care of them for him.

The COVID timeline in OG’s universe is fucked up compared to the real world’s, so it shouldn’t be used as a way to measure time! They just throw it in wherever it makes sense for the story they want to tell (eg the vaccines in s4 ep 8), since s3 was both done before COVID hit but also airing while it was happening. It makes absolutely no sense for May to graduate in March nor for Chris to be going to what is specifically labeled summer camp, and the vaccine plotline was INCREDIBLY early, even for real life, so don’t use anything from that as a measure of time. I’ve found except in specific examples, eg the two tsunami episodes, it’s very safe to say every episode covers a week - fall holidays on the show line up with their real life counterparts, indicating about the same amount of time is passing for us and them.

On that note - Jee-Yun was born in late January, early February 2021. (Conceived in Pinned, which was end of March/beginning of April, meaning Maddie was around a month along at May’s graduation in May ➡ 42 weeks + 3 days from then = late Jan/early Feb. Which unfortunately means we most likely won’t see her birthday celebrated on screen. If we assume she was conceived on the date Pinned aired, aka the very sexy hotel scene, then January 21st or 22nd would be Jee’s birthday, depending on if she was born after midnight or not.

Buck has had at least one other Jeep between the one Maddie gave him, and the one he has now, which means that when he needs a new car, he is purposefully choosing Jeeps.

I hope this was all as interesting/enjoyable to you as it was to me! And just to repeat - I love answering questions so pls let me know if you have any at all ❤

A bunch more old asks and doodles!

[dragimal]

and finally my OTHER Kirins and Jackalopes, put into their own post because they’re fan-avatars (technically the Wayfarer is also a fan-avatar, but since he’s Feral, he can stay in the other post). in order: Aradia, Fluttershy, Stitch, and Espeon

I'm not too pleased with Stitch, so you only get his back. the Espeon was from a flash-cosplay event for Eeveelutions that happened in the middle of City Fera one time, so I didn’t actually keep that avatar very long, haha

[IMAGE ID: screencaps of 4 different Feral avatars in the avatar creation screen, all in the typical blocky, cartoony style of the game. (continued under cut) 

“Aradia” is a stocky goat-- mostly dark grey with blood-red accents. her legs are thick and shaggy, with extra long fur around her fetlocks, and her hooves stood near together, underneath her center of gravity. her face is long but flat, held tight against her neck, which is pulled back above her chest. she has a tall nose, small/pointed ears, a small goatee, and a pair of long, thin, ram-like horns. she has a thick mane of fur surround her neck down to her shoulders. she also has a short, sparse tail. her eyes have a round outline with sharp corners, which is dark red with a red cross-shaped pupil. her horns have the Homestuck-typical gradient, red-orange at the base, then orange, then yellow at the tips. her face, body, and upper legs are all dark grey. her nose, goatee, mane, and fluffy lower legs are all red. she has a red Aries horn symbol on her forehead, her rump has a red gear, and there’s a red deer skull between her shoulderblades. Aradia is wearing a ragged, dark grey scarf, red tassel earrings, a red ankle band, a skull ornament on the tip of her tail, and a small, grey, teardrop-shaped floating above her shoulder.

“Fluttershy” is a mostly-yellow pegasus with some light pink and light blue accents. she’s very tall and lean, with long/thin legs that have shaggy fetlock fluff, a long neck, and a long/thin tail with long hair flowing off the underside. her face is long and thin, curved gently down in a Roman arch, with a somewhat prominent muzzle/chin, and small/pointed ears. her mane flows freely down one side of her neck, and is twisted into a braid down the other side. her eyes have a round outline with pointed corners-- dark blue with extra accents to give the impression of thicker lashes. her irises are light blue, matching her forehead gem. her main body is yellow, while her underbelly, muzzle, and fetlock fluff are a lighter yellow. her long, feathered wings have yellow coverts, pink flight feathers, and longer, decorative blue feathers, shaped like peacock tail feathers. her hooves, mane, and tail hair are pink, though the tail fur has some yellow stripes. she has little butterflies (blue bodies, pink wings) on her rump. Fluttershy is wearing pink flower corsages on her legs, and has a small white bat sitting on her forehead. she’s carrying a small baby kitsune in a pouch around her neck, and another small animal in a bucket hanging off her rump.

“Stitch” is a small blue rabbit with dark blue, wobbly accents on his back and the back of his head. he has tall, pointed ears, and a small, puffy tail.

“Espeon” is a tall purple rabbit with a light purple dewlap/tail, and dark purple inner ears. their ears are tall/pointed, and their tail is small and pointed.

The End of One Life

The crew of the Wayfarer’s Luck is a small one: just Deell Solarin, his daughter Jezari, and sometimes his good friend Cal Verrat. A spice run leaves the crew significantly smaller.

(This is, unfortunately, ficverse canon. And also very sad.)

19.5.4 BTC, evening, ship’s time

Jezari brought the Luck into the station’s landing bay with textbook precision, setting it down precisely in the middle of the designated landing pad. Her pilot’s credentials were legit, if you ignored the birthdate, but they were still new enough that she looked to her father for approval.

“I think you’re getting better at this than me, Jezzy.” Deell grinned.  “Careful about being too good, though. They might think we’re legit.”

“Yeah, lots of legit shipping here.” She waved a hand at the ships scattered across the other landing pads. Several looked like they’d been stolen from scrap yards, and all, like the Luck, were more heavily armed than any law abiding freighter, except in the worst parts of the Outer Rim.

He laughed, then sobered as she unhooked her harness and stood up. “Look, you better stay in here this time. Leave this to me and Cal.”

Something in his voice kept her from arguing. “Is something wrong?”

“Naw.”  He shook his head. “It’s nothing. Just a feeling I have.” He paused in the cockpit doorway. “But leave her warm, just in case.”

“Dad…”

“Sit tight. We’ll be back before you know it.”

She slumped back into the pilot’s seat—the left seat, the pilot in command’s seat. In the official, boring part of space, she’d still be in the right seat, where a certified but relatively inexperienced pilot belonged, at least for the first few years. Out here, half the pilots weren’t even properly licensed.

She didn’t care, exactly, and she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life doing the same cargo run over and over like they did in the core. But there were times… Maybe it was just that she’d caught that sense of unease from her father.

There were risks, and then there were risks. Whenever Uncle Cal was around, it always seemed to be the latter. Something about the cargos he found, the people he worked with. It was always a little off, like everything was on a knife edge. Her mom had never liked him, but when she was a kid, she’d thought he was exciting. Now, she wasn’t so sure. But he and Deell went way back.

She pushed herself up and peered out of the left side of the cockpit, looking down and back to where they were unloading the crates of spice. Drugs. “Never try it, Jezzy.” Her dad had told her years ago. “We haul it, we don’t do it. None of it.” He’d sounded almost like the dads in the holoserials then.

She snorted at the memory. Like she’d try anything that might mess up her brain. You had to be sharp to be a pilot—a good one, anyway. Glitterstim would fry you right quick, and even ryll would get you eventually, leave you too shaky and strung out to fly.

The buyers were clustered around the crates, talking to Deell and Cal. She pressed her face against the transparisteel, trying to get a better look. Something was wrong. Maybe it was her father’s body language, maybe it was some sixth sense.

“Come on,” she muttered. “Just forget about it. Get in here.”

Deell backed away. She could tell he was shouting, though she couldn’t hear him. Yelling something at Cal.

“Dad…”

He turned and ran for the ship.

Cal’s blaster was out so fast Jezari didn’t even see him draw. He fired at Deell.

“No!” Jezari groped blindly for the turret override, unable to look away.

Cal’s first shot missed, but the second hit Deell in the back. He stumbled, got up, kept running. Cal fired again.

The Luck’s lower turret swung into position. Jezari couldn’t see her father any more, but she knew he had to be at the ramp. She fired as the turret swept toward the buyers, crates, and Cal. The cutouts protecting the ramp and cargo hatch area wouldn’t let her shoot them, but they didn’t know that. The buyers and Cal dove for cover.

Jezari heard the hatch cycle. “Dad!”

“Go! Lift off!” She barely recognized his voice.

Someone was shouting over the pilot’s headset. She didn’t bother to put it on, or strap in. She dropped into the seat, fired up the engines and lifted off.

The Luck slewed around, one landing skid sending the crates of spice tumbling across the landing pad. There were no blast doors on the station, only a forcefield between them and space. Jezari hit the thrusters, not caring what was behind the ship, and they blazed through the screen and into open space.

The station fired on them, bright blasts slamming the Luck’s shield and rocking the ship. She was still alone in the cockpit. No one to bring up the navicomputer and punch up a hyperspace jump. Jezari reached over, keying in a quick microjump. Something to get them out of firing range. Even if it was just straight ahead.

It beeped, and she pulled back the lever. The stars streaked into the whirling chaos of hyperspace and reverted again.

“Dad!”

There was no answer. She leaned over, punched in another jump with shaking fingers. Something to get them further away. Toward the nearest hyperlane.

“Dad!” She wiped away a blur of tears and pulled the hyperdrive lever again.

She was on her feet before the jump finished, running for the cargo hatch.

Deell had almost made it to the lounge. He lay in the corridor just outside, face down, one hand reaching out as if to crawl. The smell of burnt flesh hung in the air. She dropped to her knees beside him. No!

She rolled him onto his side, felt for a pulse. His eyes flickered open. He tried to speak, but no sound came out.

“No, please…” She could grab the medkit, fix him up. Even as she thought it, she knew it wasn’t true. One of Cal’s shots had burned clear through him and the other was almost as bad. If the ship had a kolto tank, maybe...

Deell’s lips moved again. “..ari…” His eyes went dull.

“No… no.” She pulled his limp weight into her arms. “No.” It was more a sob than a word. She buried her face in his shoulder and wailed.

DO ARI ● COMPASS ● HUMAN

age & birthdate:  27; May 25

birthplace: busan, south korea

length of time in port vale: 2 months

occupation: sailor

faceclaim: kwon nara

THE OCEAN

Do Areum and Do Ari, two sides of the same coin. Born mere minutes apart, the two twins truly were a representation of ying and yang. They were both named to mean the same thing and yet their beauty and charm manifested in different ways. Where Areum was gentle and kind, Ari was vivacious and bubbly. Where Areum was sensitive, Ari was adventurous. Where Ari was curious, Areum was grounded. And though they were polar opposites in more ways than one, the two were inseparable from birth. They found a way to balance each other out, allowing the best to shine in each other.

Their family was small and came from humble means. Their father owned one ship that he would use to fish. Every morning he would head out with a group of men to see what they had caught overnight. From the moment she can remember, Ari was one with the water. Whether it was swimming, water sports or fishing, she seemed to never want to leave. Her father’s influence was very apparent in her interests when she began to beg him to take her out farther into the sea than she had been before. One day, he told her that he would take her with him, but she would need to wake up very early. Without so much as a peep, his otherwise night owl of a daughter woke up before he had told her, ready to go even before he was. Coming home that day, salt on her skin, she had discovered her new dream. The water that she loved so much would also be her ticket to see the world that she longed to explore.

Every morning after that, she would go with her father just to get another taste of the ocean and all that it could offer her. She learned how to handle the ropes, how to manage the cages, and how to navigate through the roughest of storms. Little by little, as she grew even more comfortable with the operation of the ship, her thoughts drifted further and further away from Busan. Every night she would recite stories of countries beyond their own, discussing with her sister exactly how she would one day set sail and just visit every country without a clear end destination in mind.

It was a bit of a cliche, how desperately she wished to just escape from her home, from the place where no one seemed to understand why she needed so desperately to see other people and places. It felt as though this place just couldn’t contain all of her. Ari felt as though she were spilling out of a too small box while her parents and sister comfortably within it. Her parents had never left Busan, growing up together and choosing to spend their lives with each other. Her sister, well she was happy in the present, not dreaming of anything but staying beside their parents. At times, Ari felt guilty for always wanting to get out, for seeming to not be satisfied with just her family alone. After all, they seemed to be quite content. Why couldn’t she be? It was this guilt that kept her grounded beside them, though her eyes kept wandering.

Areum was the one who noticed this. What her parents couldn’t understand, she did. After all, they were twins and they shared an understanding that others lacked. Beyond that, Areum was just more perceptive than most and privy to the inner workings of Ari. So she urged her to go, to follow her heart. That was all Ari needed to be set free. An assurance that her family wouldn’t be disappointed or upset if she decided she couldn’t just stay beside them. While her parents were hesitant to send their reckless daughter so far away, Areum’s words gave Ari the strength to convince them to let her go. She was her father’s daughter and she belonged on the sea, exploring what the world had to offer.

There was no one way that she set out. Initially she worked on cruises, freighters, and anything else where her skills and knowledge of the inner workings of most naval vessels would come in handy. Ari couldn’t have been happier, returning home with stories and souvenirs from her travels. Months turned to years and she began coming home less and less frequently as her travels took her further and further away. Every so often when she would come home, Areum seemed to cling to her a little bit more, sometimes quietly asking if she needed to leave so quickly. But this Ari, the one who had a ravenous appetite for voyaging various coasts, could not understand her sister reaching out. She was unable to see beyond her own momentary happiness to see that Areum was asking her to stay.

She came home a few days after Christmas, presents from her time away in tow to be welcomed by tragedy. Those who knew her in the neighborhood gave her pitiful glances, no one immediately willing to come forward to speak with her. Ari received the news that her family was no more. A car crash had claimed their lives and she didn’t need to know more than that. She hadn’t been at home—hadn’t been with them. If so far, she had a home to go back to (and run from), now she had neither. In the following months, as she went through various legal proceedings, Ari discovered more about her sister than she could have ever imagined. And the details of her sister’s torment, the demons that consumed her, weighed on Ari’s conscience from that moment forward. The fact that it was on the way back from the hospital that her entire family had passed. The fact that she should have been in that hospital and in that car beside Areum. And worse of all, the thought that maybe if she had been, none of this would have happened at all. These questions haunted Ari the longer she stayed in Busan so she left, taking her father’s ship and finally setting course for herself.

ON LAND

She carried the general feeling that she had failed her family by leaving them to selfishly pursue her own dreams. Though somewhere deep down she knew that her sister wouldn’t have wanted her to blame herself, her mind and heart didn’t work that way. She felt as though she let down her sister. Areum had understood how shackled Ari had felt and help set her free and Ari hadn’t been able to do that for Areum in return. She went through a list of places where she knew people, trying her hardest to escape the survivor’s guilt and find someone who could help her forget everything. Yet no matter where she runs, somehow every person she met seemed to remind her only of those who had left her (whom she had left first).

Her spontaneous voyages brought her to the shores of Port Vale, yet again in search of a place to distract her from her own demons. Ari had long lost her passion for traveling, feeling it as more of a lifeline than an adventure at this point.  She decided to take a break in Port Vale. Not a long one, but just a way to reorient herself in this world. She has no idea how long she will stay but for the time being, she has docked her ship on these shores, wondering if she will find any reason to stay on land or if she is destined to be one with the very water she left everyone for.

PERSONALITY

Ari is a difficult one to describe. She had always been a bit of a dreamer, someone whose brain moved faster than her lips could. Her enthusiasm and excitement were contagious and she had a penchant for story telling (her secret is intrigue and danger with a dash of exaggeration). She can be fickle and impulsive which was a dangerous combination for someone like her. Though it isn’t intentional, sometimes her absentmindedness can hurt those around her, though she does care for those who are in her life deeply. It just so happens that in the process of thinking of her future, sometimes she forgets those in her present. Once her family passed, she grew far more reflective but also avoidant. Escaping has always been something she is good at and so now, rather than running from her family, she runs from the emotions their death has brought her. The guilt and the grief have yet to be properly dealt with and she continues to chatter away, no longer because of her excitement, but because she is afraid to be alone with her thoughts. Because the issue is, despite everything that happened with her family, she doesn’t know whether she will ever change. And that terrifies her.

CONNECTIONS

BRASS: she asks a lot of questions, and at first you thought her to be strange, but it’s nice to have someone to listen to you. having someone to relate to feels almost like a sister you’ve long lost, but lately, you notice her becoming more and more like you. are you flattered or discouraged?

SEAGLASS: a sailor blind dating - a different coast, a different mate, and you never stay hung up on one person for long. yet you run into them everywhere, and you’re not used to seeing the same face for too long. maybe a second date wouldn’t be a bad idea?

IVORY: when you first set sail, the voyage that started it all, you met the strange man on faraway lands. it was the first drink you tasted there that was paid for by his pockets, and you are still surprised to see him in port vale the same time as you. you avoid him now, put off by his concerned expression. he knew of a much different sailor than you are now.

Degrees of Taurus and Naruto characters (namely Sasuke, Itachi and Naruto)

I’ve recently started reading about the meaning and significants of each degree in the birth chart and have decided to utilize my new found knowledge for the purpose of drawing a more accurate chart for Naruto characters. 

In this part I’ve focused on the third decan of taurus. I’ve mentioned before that I’m certain Naruto has something in Taurus and Itachi apparently has more than one planet in taurus. We’ve also established that Sasuke has his moon in taurus. 

I’ve got these descriptions from the first document that pops up in google when you search taurus degrees meaning.

I’ve only guessed two of Itachi’s taurus degrees, the other probably isn’t in the third decan. Also I have 2 guesses for Sasuke and I’m not sure which one is more accurate. 

If you happen to have the same placement as the one I guessed for Itachi (28-29 degrees taurus) don’t take this to heart.

20-21: maybe Itachi

related to poison

 It indicates a silent, watchful disposition, inclined to caution, method, and thrift, but liable to assaults from unexpected sources, which will overthrow many carefully designed plans. It is a degree of ANTICIPATION.

A frugal, cautious, watchful, silent and close character bearing the hallmark of individuality, a deep mind, a pitiless logic, a precise and methodic intelligence, more suited for analysis than synthesis. The native will rely but on himself, yet destiny will baffle him with gleeful spite and take a cruel delight in hitting him just where rational logic would rule out failure or even danger. The collapse of his most accurately prearranged plans will tell on the native’s temper, whose guardedness may drift into suspiciousness, and misanthropy into wickedness.

 Strategic, self-directed but perhaps egotistical Aries-Scorpio degree - certainly never content to sit, always having a plan, project or alternative waiting in the wings. Can build great accomplishments and find success if temper and lusts are kept under control, and if it can avoid “yes men” and opportunists. Desired to be admired. Sexual attractions often include great sacrifices. Infighter or revolutionary - anarchistic and opinionated. Must develop Libran traits.

A very resourceful sportsman. One whose judgment can be relied upon in estimating values.

Witnessing dispassionately the flow of time. Standing outside of all linear progression and knowing what is likely to happen here. Supremely disengaged from surface affairs, even lightly dismissive of all secondary considerations, but tuned right in to the thread of prophecy and inner vision. Granted a certain grace to follow the inner track. And serving a larger function as part shaman, part seer, and part commonsensical advisor. Salty wit, earthy and pithy, no nonsense. You know where the bones are buried. Penetrating insight. A throwback to simpler worlds. One who warns of dangers ahead, and is not amused by factions and fragments and phantoms of common assumption.

 Highly intelligent. Quick, analytical, objective mind. Clear thinking. Strives to understand the larger context, philosophical view, and underlying assumptions of any idea or concept. Interested in economics 

 Silent, methodical, and clear-sighted character. Sly enemies abound and conceal their real nature while waiting for the moment when they can successfully grab what does not belong to them, be it money or an already married person. Fortunately enough, one displays vigilance and providence, and therefore one is able to avoid the most dangerous traps. If in the natal chart, Saturn is powerful, prudence and concentration capacities are strengthened. With Mars, energy is increased, and with a Venus, kindness is enhanced. In some cases, this degree indicates gifts for occultism or, at least, above-average perceptiveness.

22-23: Sasuke (I personally think this is more likely than the other one)

can lead and inspire but can fail

It signifies one who will suffer misfortune in the height of his career and whose fall will be dangerous in proportion to the height he has attained. The native will be too apt to depend on his own powers and will essay feats which will be beyond his natural powers. Ambition will lead him into dangerous positions, and at a weak moment he will fall. Let this be taken as equally affecting his physical, moral, and social welfare. It is a degree of COLLAPSE.

A great spiritual force, a generous, passionate character whose mind, compared to a large heart, may appear limited. Faith in one’s power is excessive, hence a tendency to overreach oneself by a display of arrogance, weakness, light-headedness and foolhardiness which may head the native for a dangerous fall. This may be taken in the literal sense of bodily falls, as well as in the metaphorical one (financial, social, moral, or spiritual).

Imaginative, irascible: a symbol of individual freedom in motion - Sagittarian wanderings brought down to earth long enough to establish turf and be noticed. Master of human and animal nature. Desire for self-expression and talent to do so. Humorous, optimistic, spiritual, passionate character, which might lead to light mindedness and dangerous risks at times. May make bad choice of partners, but generally fortunate in career.

Great strength of will and if character is also indicated by other testimonies in the chart, one capable of great works. Cruelty in undeveloped types.

 Nothing to say, everything to do. The self cannot be articulated because it is far too busily pressed out into emergency mobilization twenty-four hours a day. No personal life, no personal world, no personal self. Just fantastic availability to the call, the collective vigil, entered upon willingly and selflessly. The demands and rigors of this position and stance are punishing and extreme. You are so hard-pressed, so rabidly attentive that nothing else exists. The assignment is clear, brutally so. Be on the spot at every level, maintain order, keep everything going and stay tuned to everything unusual and strange. Follow it out, keep it in your sights and make absolutely sure that you stay sober, integrity sworn and minutely diligent to hold the center and uphold the law with a steadfastness that is beyond belief, and simply true.

first half :   A deep sense of his own individuality and nobility. Devoted to family. Searches for a mature, objective, broad understanding of life.

second half:  A deep sense of his own individuality and nobility. Vital and energetic, perhaps a reforming or revolutionary spirit. Innovative.

This degree describes a reversal of fortune at the pinnacle of the career. The fall is commensurate with the social status and indicates a risk of dishonour and all kinds of losses. One relies too blindly on one's own strength and undertakes projects without having carefully assessed its assets and weaknesses. The danger of fall also applies to physical accidents, as well as moral and social matters.

23-24: Sasuke

A man, yet one greater than a man! His mission is a world mission, but present conditions will scarcely admit of such a development.  

It signifies one who will take his course through useless tracks, and by too much trust in others will suffer depletion. Yea, though all has life long he may minister to the wants of others, yet, in his advancing years, he will be abandoned to the mercy of wayfaring and deceitful men. This illustrates virtue misapplied. It as a degree of DECLINE.  

 Assuming as we did that no degree of the zodiac can convey any meaning if not looked at in the light of the horoscope as a whole, this rule does not fit any degree so thoroughly as this fifty-fourth degree which has something mysterious, or transcendent, in itself. Should the rest of the pattern be of a spiritual nature, an intense but hidden inner life would be the result. If the other features concur into a majestic picture, the native may have been assigned a mission reaching beyond his country and his age. “At the limit,” to borrow a mathematical expression; that is, in such a cosmically vast and sublime horoscope as can be drawn in the heavens only once in mankind’s history, this degree becomes one among many other components from which, written in star characters; the announcement of the Redemptor’s birth was given.

Daring Leo degree may have a mission from God, or a self-appointed one - or some karmic feeling it must follow. Guilt or ecclesiastical upbringing may create humility or piety, appearing naive, but faithful and a Samaritan - and not likely to do much to insure its own protection or growth. Self- conscious, nervous, superstitious, but goodhearted and blissful-usually. Dedicated and warm, but must not be over-loving ruthless or over-protective. 

One who serves and is inclined to be servile. A patient worker who should free himself from the thralldom of others and develop his latent ability.

 Thematic worlds coming round again just as before, just like always. The highest and the best, maintained and sustained beautifully, impeccably, superlatively. Knowing inside that what counts, what is essential, is to abide, to be. You are a vast world unto yourself, an extraordinary network of intersecting dynamics. But the witness consciousness is blissfully sitting back in a restful perch, letting everything go by. And in the very center of this dispassion and wakeful scrutinizing, one indwells a Buddha realization attained by hard work in many lives and now being your innermost identity in an identity less way.

Very particular and precise. May be easily irritated when things are not just right. Creative intelligence, capable of original ideas and novel projects.

Generous, helpful, and gullible character. Misplaced confidence results in sufferings and disappointments. One generously shares everything one possesses with less fortunate people. However, on must spare enough resources for oneself, otherwise, one is in danger of falling into the dire poverty which one has helped other people out of. In such a case, no one will come up to lend a helping hand. This degree indicates ingratitude and unrewarded qualities. There may also be eye problems.

24-25: Naruto

This denotes a very mysterious character. Whilst living among men, a stranger to men. He has a life of his own, a world of his own, he is content to live and die unknown (never showing his true self).

It indicates a powerful and haughty nature; one who is disposed to justify himself by force of arms rather than by intrinsic merit. Such a person will make many his servants but few his friends and in the end his state will be a pitiable as that of a dying lion. It is a degree of PRIDE.

The subject’s inner world will stay closed and unknown to all. Yet this is no cowardly nature, rather an arrogant one; the native is innerly proud, haughty, overbearing, but not vain. As he is spiritually isolated among his fellow beings, he will have justice done to himself, if necessary, by having recourse to arms. As he is misunderstood, he will endeavor to have his own way even by resorting to violence; as long as his strength does not fail him, he will see subdued servants around himself, never friends.

Stately Leo and serious-natured Capricorn furnish this degree with cold spirituality, pride, perhaps haughtiness. Arrogant, but with a firm desire to achieve goals and dominate its sphere, hopefully with justice and mercy. Helped by earthly features and mannerisms. Bound by family ties and genealogy; may take up arms of face violence, or may be mean and cruel. Religious dogma- dictatorial. Should be aware of the practical welfare of all people.

 One with great mental strength but whose power and ability will be acknowledged only by few. Too advanced for popular acceptance.

The inward image and the outward reflection are worlds apart. Building up inside to a state of being that carries immense challenges. You see your own personal nature as an objective universal force to be reckoned with, and persist in seeing egocentrically. Preferring massively your own company, contained within yourself, imaginatively self-enchanted. Yet also capable of radical turnabouts and rebirths. Awakenings false and true, great and small. Knowing yourself to be somebody special. Self-consciousness enshrined. A dead-end or a path, oblivious or realizing the way of things, getting out of the way or being squarely in the way. Self-importance and its overcoming.

Good sense of balance, tact, sophistication, and harmony in his work and life generally. Progressive, enterprising, active. A good worker in any business or organization. 

Assertive, combative, and haughty character endowed with leadership abilities. One prefers forceful means to dialogue and arouses much hatred. One makes the difference between one's few genuine friends and all the numerous flatterers. This degree indicates a risk of violent death or suicide, especially if in the natal chart, it is in conjunction with the Ascendant, the Sun or the Moon, or the ruler of the 8th House. In conjunction with the Part of Fortune, there may be seizure or confiscation of assets."

28-29: Itachi

associated with eye problems

It signifies a tyrant, who takes delight in power apart from its uses, and whose opinions are bigoted and selfish. To rule, without regard to qualifications, is the passing ambition of one born under this degree. Death, which frees the slave, will bind the hands of a tyrant in irons forged from his own heart. It is a degree of DESPOTISM. 

Commercial, Venusian, fashion and possession flaunting degree due to Libra here better for females - causes grief for males. Gifted with beauty, believed more than it should - can pick and choose partners and mate who are subjects and followers. Always “right” in its own world, and therefore an unconscious danger to others, apt to take them down paths best left for the foolish, Danger of addictions, Magnetic and proud; good organizer and able administrator.

Too many divergent interest brings a life of confusion. The development of the will is necessary and will bring success in property ownership and development.

Tyrannical, selfish, and fanatic character. There is a strong propensity for debauchery and sexual perversions. One imposes one's narrow-minded ideas to members of the family, friends, and employees, which arouses much hatred. Sooner or later, slaves are freed, and the despot is overthrown. If in the natal chart, the Moon is waxing and in conjunction with this degree, the constellation of the Pleiades promises high social status, fame, and honours, but it also warns against accidents affecting the face, impaired sight, or violent death.

Crystallized imagination. The inside of the inside remembered and evoked whimsically. There is no form, no pattern, no binding reality. Dreaming the world into being from a greatly bemused stance-- other. Twinkling observer-witness consciousness. Off on tangents that call, a life, a cycle, a realm set aside for inventive play without boundaries. You feel exultant in the freedom. Swept away beautifully. Answerable to nobody and nothing except the muse.

 Intelligent, original, energetic, self-reliant. Honest and straightforward, sometimes tactless and blunt. 

[catboynecromancy]

Me, with the new Wayfarers book and also Ari & Dante Discover the Secrets book to read: what if I reread TRC and analyzed literally everything instead :/
