5. Do you respond to comments?

Sometimes! I usually try to respond if someone commented about something specific, and essay length comments always deserve a reply❤️ also if someone comments saying they reread your fic bc that's the best feeling in the world

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmm I only have a few that end angsty but I guess that would be my canon compliant post-IVF Rain King fic, Driftwood Lullaby

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Aqua Vitae, but I also wanna spotlight one of my earlier fics, in which Mulder gives Scully a real wedding ring for their case in Arcadia, Though the Heavens Fall

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten a couple of nitpicky comments and one actual hate comment (ironically that one was on my most popular fic!😆)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No, I know it's popular but it's just not my thing either to write or to read

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

MSR!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

A prequel to Purplerow by @katy-kt-katie, an AU in which Scully is an astronaut, about the time she made first contact with aliens on Mars (I really wanna finish this but life has decided to just keep throwing bricks at me and I haven't been able to concentrate enough to write in so long😭)

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told I'm good at dialogue😅

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I struggle so much with choosing the right word to describe something sometimes, and also finding alternative words to use when I accidentally use the same word four or five times in the same paragraph😂

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I like reading it! I think it adds to the atmosphere of the story, but I don't think I've ever done it myself except to copy and paste the German dialogue from Triangle😅

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Lord of the Rings, I wrote a sequel featuring Aragorn and Arwen's daughter and posted it on Instagram back when I was active in the Tolkien fandom circa 2015 (posting fic on instragram probably sound super weird lmao but it was what people did, they'd post a pic corresponding to the fic and the chapter went in the captions)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I'm pretty proud of the fic I wrote last October for Mulder's birthday, Where a Million Stars Catch Fire

Tagging @katy-kt-katie @tofuttim @television-overload @cecilysass @slippinmickeys @skelavender @virtie333 and idk who else writes and hasn't been tagged so if you see this have at it lol

[a-tale-of-legends]

Legendverse! Steven Stone stuff as I try to focus a bit more in canon characters and their own arcs:

I was reading his Bulbapedia page, as I usually do, and a tiny little thing caught my eye: his match call. Specifically about his strategy: " Pick on the foe's weakness(RS)" "Attack the weak points!(E)" "Strike enemies where they're weakest!(ORAS)"

Of course, this is referencing to how he battles, which is fair imo. But I wonder if this also reflects him outside of battle. At least a small part of him. Think about it: he's the son of the owner of the Devon corporation. He was raised to be it's heir. You can't tell me he was trained to look for weaknesses. To explore saud weaknesses for his own gain. Of course, this is Steven. He - from our understanding- has the best interest of the people at heart. Besides between being more interested in rare stones and wanting to travel. That being said, I had a little thought. What is the most noticable time that Steven has ever helped the character? When things went to shit. When Archie and Maxie both realize how much they fucked up and are at their weakest points. That's when Steven decides to visible contribute ( I mean. There's the one other time at the space station but you get my point). " Strike enemies when they are weakest". If we want to take another step further, you could argue that Steven was playing the waiting game. Waiting for Team Magma and Aqua to fuck up- cause in a way, he knows that they will. He knows that they're plans, will with semi good intentions, are plain stupid and filled with hubris to actually work. But he can't just stand there and wait. He has to have someone survey the area. Someone who can effectively make the waiting less unbearable, make the down fall more efficient. He sends the player. Or in my case, he sends Jin. They will be able to constantly be the thorn to the evil teams side, so much so that even if they manage to awaken the Legendaries, it will still fail. How? He doesn't know! It's a gut feeling.

Another little thing I wanted to add is that Steven is pretty aloof? Like he's this mastermind or whatever but he also just. Doesn't really notice anything that doesn't interest him. At least that's the vibe I'm getting!

I dunno how to end this, so I'll just say now, I don't think Steven is a malicious person. Honestly all of this is just theory crafting and honestly needs more polishing if I want it to make any sense lol. Imo Steven has a good heart but he's also, probably doesn't get that maybe it's not a good idea to send a minor to fight two ecoterrorist until it's way to late.

Continuation of this tending to a stubborn Ice Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail with @kaito-yuki.

(Previous thread is of Shiro bringing Kaito to Adelha's Apothecaries for healing after a mission gone FUBAR. Matvei and Erlik are on call to help with the ice bath for a stubborn Kaito. Aqua is happy to meet Shiro as the Currier twins see to their guests) Am setting the stage for my own brain to keep track

Matvei snickers with evident amusement to open the first aide kit. Plucking up a purple bottle within the kit to shake it a few times. The potent sensation of magic wafting from the cork of the bottle before Matvei pops the cork off. Soon gently pouring a shimmering amethyst liquid over the cut on Kaito's arm. Which starts to sting like good bourbon to soak into the cut and start neutralizing the toxic in the mage's arm. But there is a rather odd black wisp of smoke pouring slowly from the cut for Matvei to wince. "Yep. S Ranked Missions means poisons and curses aplenty. Figured that was the case. Just stay still and let the cleansing magic in liquid form do it's job."

Erlik flinches at the sight to sigh as Aqua waves her paws at Shiro to hopefully get some extra play time with the adorable little Exceed. While Erlik frowns to speak his mind openly. "Don't ask what is in it. Just be glad that stuff works for almost anything. Think of the discomfort as the price of getting fully recovered from whatever poison would have ruined your veins." Matvei soon gets out the needle and thread to start carefully stitching the cut closed with practiced ease. As if he's done this thousands of times before. The needle actually numbing the skin on Kaito's arm so he doesn't feel any pain from the sewing. "These stitches will react to your magic and fade once the cut is completely gone. We know a certain someone that weaves enchanted thread for such things. So by the time your Guild Master has the chance to take a peek, he won't find anything."

Erlik nods for him to turn his head when the apothecary of the establishment walks up to check on the patient. Her long green dress swishing as she moves for Shiro to scent lavender and ocean spray. As well as Dragon. Not Dragon Slayer like Kaito. But an actual Dragon. Yet Adelha simply looks to Shiro to smile at him with warmth. Her gloved hand soon reaching up to very gently pat the Exceed on the head. "I see our guests are doing all right. To think such a powerful looking tiger would also be a gentle angel. Salmon and red snapper is on the menu today. We may also add shrimp to the menu as well as crab. We learned from previous visits that Fairies have big appetites. Especially young Dragon Slayers. Shiro? Do you like iced tea or fruit punch with your sushi?"

dream room

With black friday sales, I was able to get some smart multicolor bulbs, curtain lights with iridescent disks (but tangled so f-ing bad), and window films with a soft stained glass effect when light comes through. It feels good to welcome some light in my room after having broken lamps for months, including sunlight (which I've always had but kept blinds shut tight for privacy). I still need a ceiling light but I figured the window, new lamp bulb, and curtains lights should be enough for now. Especially considering how long I've been living in a dark room anyways.

And truly, it's not that I minded. Had enough sunlight in the day and when night would come around, I preferred chilling in a dark room anyways, as I read or watch videos. But I was struggling a bit when it came to having to do any other tasks at night (a convenient excuse to not do anything else but screen time).

So I'm liking the white-aqua-iridescent vibes of my room, emphasized even more now with the new lights and window stuff. I don't think there's much left to do not besides organize my stuff.

If I had the budget, the next decorations and functional items I would want in my room would probably be wall decorations. Automating my room some more with things I don't really need but would love, like the blinds turner (need to install a new wand + hook) and a new Alexa hub with a clock display. I could mount my tv, maybe buy one of those fancy swivel mounts? Upgrading my laptop to a gaming pc would be an absolute dream. Another book case to hold stuff, cute little organizers for my makeup, books, albums, and random things/ A white fluffy rug to give that luxurious cozy feeling. I would to decorate my walls with art from sugarmints. Maybe other artists' sailor moon art. Hmm, now that I think of it, its been awhile since I really explored art. Would be fun to add to that list of "artists I would like to buy from one day."

[amoonalls]

Hello dear. May you answer my question when you have time? I have this placements (I googled them separately) and just I don't know meaning of this mix:

Sun(Aqua) conjunct Neptune (2th house) with 0 degree diff

Moon(Gem/6th house) opposite Pluto(Sag/12th house)

Venus(Pisc/3th house) opposite Jupiter(Virgo/8and9 house)

(there is square and opposition between the planet in 3/6/9/12 houses)

Cap Asc in 2° opposite Saturn(in 7th house)

Also Mercury (Cap/1st house) square Mars(Aries/4th house)

Also I have an exact square between Pluto and Venus

And the last I was wondering what does it mean having Moon conjuct Lilith?

Having 21° degree more of 4 places in chart, does it mean something?

Have a nice day

About Hard Aspects in Natal Chart

Hello!

1. CONJUNCTION

When it comes to conjunction between inner and outer planets, take the domicile sign that's ruled by the outer planet as the energy fused in inner planet. So in this case with you have Aqua Sun conjunct Neptune esp in exact, think that at some level, you also exhibit Pisces Sun characters. Pisces is the sign that's traditionally ruled by Neptune. So you may feel some of Pisces characters of being capable of sensing the unsaid feelings of people, have some sensitivesness, and else

Having Moon conjunct Lilith though in this case since hardly everyone agree what sign is traditionally ruled by Lilith tho some say it's Scorpio, I would like to say that with conjunction, you gonna feel as if your emotions are at risk to be villainized by many people. This is esp increased with you also have Moon oppose Pluto

2. OPPOSITIONS

Opposition oftentimes is two sides in one coin. But in this case though, interpret that as having two conflicted energy which kinda emphasize the bad sides of what are the common effects of conjunction

So with Moon conjuct Pluto for example is responsible for extreme emotions that the native feels. Then Moon oppose Pluto means that the extreme level of emotions sometimes are uncontrollable. The similar thing with Venus oppose Jupiter. Where in conjunction the native is famous for being generous, here the generousity can extend to the level when it comes detrimental to the natives

For the angles though since one angle's oppositions means the other angle's conjunction, Cap Rising oppose Saturn means that the Saturnian energy a lot of times is more internalized since the Saturn will conjunct DC. People indeed can see you as tough and strict, but the ones who feel the effect to the most is people who are closest to you

3. SQUARE

Square is conflicted energy where one planet want this way and the other planet want this way. Which oftentimes result in hard results. Mercury square Mars means that at times, you can be provoked into argument when your opinions are violated and with Venus square Pluto, the romantic situation that supposedly should be taken lightly can turn into obsessiveness. Even if actually you are not willing to

21 degree in Many Placements

It means that you have Sagittarius influences in your chart. The planets that have 21 degree is the planet where you kinda have some freedom, impulsiveness, and ability to consider whether it's actually the right thing to do or not. Having this degree though is kinda nice cuz it adds some of carefree energy esp if the planets already have hard aspects

Good luck!

Hi Dani..just wanted to pitch in (if it's okay xD). I've got similar placements as Tae (Cap Juno/Aqua Venus) and people forget that Aqua is a fixed sign! Add to that the Cap Juno makes us super-selective because we know we want the forever kind of relationship and don't want to waste our time on casual - I cannot imagine Tae cheating (esp since he'd probably spend years to find his 'right' person :p)

OMG Nonny! Thanks for the contribution!

Yes, I think he might be very “selective” in realtion to his partners! And yes, people keep forgetting Aquarius is fixed. It’s very different from having a Gemini Venus, for example, which is mutable and looses interest easily (my case)

Personally, I think he’ll be the last one to “marry” because of that. 

Now, can you answer me something? Do you feel “pulled apart” by these placements? Since they are not in harmony and have very very different vibes?
