And a disaster for the discussion of non-anime TV shows in fandom.

"Cool-down episodes" aren't filler.

There was a period of time where if you got even a little viral on the internet it was possible for you to get television time and at least a five figure endorsement deal.

Phrases for January 2021

Check Sun, Moon and Rising

Aries – History: Remember everything you endured in 2020 and learn from it. This year you will heal and let go. The perfect opportunity to research your ancestors and roots in order to find some pieces to the puzzle that is you. This is a year of learning, growing and abandoning fear. The sky is the limit.

Taurus – Rebellion: Uranus is in your sign, so use this opportunity to break out of your comfort zones. Take the next steps without fear and if changes happen, go with the flow. This can be a huge year if you break free and trust yourself.

Gemini – Passion: Remember to give it your all this year. You may have faced blockages last year but now you are more confident and prepared. This is a year where your artistry and creative side can really bring fruitful things.

Cancer – Family: Your roots will play a role during this time. Make sure to stay connected to friends and family. The support you receive now will play a pivotal role to get to the top. There could be curiosity regarding uncovering the history of your roots and family lineage.

Leo – The Subconscious: You are going to feel more intuitive during these transits. Saturn will show you a mirror to your subconscious, allowing you to face fears as well as the maturity needed to grow. Do not be afraid to ask others for help during this year if you need it.

Virgo – Darkness: Try to see the light in the gloomy darkness. You are going to have a splendid year filled with new opportunities and the chance to meet new people. Saturn in Capricorn’s impact might still loom but remember that it is a New Year filled with new beginnings.

Libra – The Mind: All these transits in Air signs will be the perfect opportunity to learn more and immerse yourself in a library of books. The next few years will be mentally stimulating for you, allowing you to be more creative as well as seeking higher learning.

Scorpio – Reflection: This is a time to look back in order to craft your path in the future. Last year was a learning process for everyone, but you managed to navigate through the murky waters with grace. You will feel the expansive energy this year and apply the lessons learned to help others and contribute to your growth.

Sagittarius – Transformation: Lots of changes are on the way for you since you are tapping into higher energy. Patience here is a virtue since your form of communication will be transformed in the next few years. How you view the world, what you value spiritually, and your own self confidence will be challenged. Get ready for the changes that are here to transform you.

Capricorn – Love: Be open to experiencing love this year and welcoming changes. Whether you are single or in a relationship, this is going to be an interesting time after the blockages you felt with Saturn in Capricorn. You worked hard the last few years and now you get to experience some excitement.

Aquarius – Dreams: Reconnect with the past to decode the present. Aquarius and Leos will feel more intuitive during these Saturn and Jupiter transits; a time of creation and productivity. These transits will encourage you to step into your own spotlight and to show others what you produce.

Pisces – Fantasy: This year you are going to tap into your creative side a lot more. You are going to feel inspired and motivated to build. If you have been contemplating doing something new and were afraid, go for it.

reminders from Anne Enright

this is the best one

[smallstone89]

Start again, in the middle of winter. Start again with your leaves making mulch upon the earth. Prop yourself up with iced-bearded branches and claw your way into the frozen ground. The soil may be softer in the spring, but there’s so much sky to grow into and only so much time caught in the fishing-nets of your roots. You are strong enough now– start again.
