              ❛        .       ♡ + madaoro      .       @asaraltu​         .

Who is the most affectionate?

Both of them can get pretty needy, in a way that cats are needy. Only when they want affection and in the way they want to. So I would say both are equally affectionate.

Who initiates the handholding?

Orochimaru. Mostly when they have to walk somewhere together, he likes holding onto Madara's hand, or his arm.

Who worries more for the other?

Madara. Not because he thinks Orochimaru can't take care of himself, but because Orochimaru's health is...very sensitive. So I think, he would always worry about Orochimaru in that sense.

Who is more likely to ask for help?

Madara. Orochimaru grew up without a family, he was conditioned by life to do everything alone or die, and that sticks to this day, so he is the one to take the longest to ask for help. Not that Madara has an easy time asking for help, they're just...more likely to ask for it before things blow up on their face, whereas Orochimaru will get blown to pieces a couple of times before he caves in.

Who is the one always losing the keys?

Orochimaru. He has a very selective memory, and so things that are not of utmost importance get left behind, it is why most of the doors in his house open through chakra seals. He's got not time to be remembering where he put his keys.

Who leaves little love notes for the other?

I don't think either of them would do that. They communicate through little looks, and soft brushes of skin throughout the day, but I don't think they'd go as far as sending little love notes. I think they are more subtle when it comes to demonstrating their love for each other.

Who can’t sleep unless the other is there?

Madara. I might be extremely wrong, but they strikes me as the type of person who enjoys holding someone as they sleep. And so once they get together with Orochimaru, and get used to having Orochimaru by their side at night, I think they'd have a hard time sleeping without him.

Who is more likely to propose to the other?

Both, but I'll still say Orochimaru might take the first step. Orochimaru doesn't do things in halves. And once he is in love with you, he is 100% committed and devoted to you, which is why I see him making the first move to propose to Madara.

Who introduced the other to their family first?

.....this is awkward..... Orochimaru....given he's the only one who still...sort of has a family.

Who is more likely to play with the other’s hair?

Both. Orochimaru adores snuggling up to Madara's hair, it's just so thick and fluffy and he loves it. He'll spend hours brushing through it and nuzzling his face into it. As for Madara, Orochimaru's hair is like liquid shadow, ink, and it's relaxing to just run his fingers through the silky tresses.

Who makes sure the other has meals/stays hydrated?

Both, for different reasons. Orochimaru is a mother-hen, he constantly worries about Madara, all the children he's adopted on top of all the villagers and all the other duties he has as a kage. And he is not very good at taking care of himself, so Madara has to look after him and make sure he has eaten and drunk water.

Who is more likely to stand up to anyone for the other?

Oh, both of them. If the situation calls for it, if they feel like the other needs them or is legitimately hurt by someone, they will raise hell. Both are very protective in general, but go absolutely feral if the other is hurt.

Who is the most likely to prepare a surprise for the other?

Orochimaru. They are small surprises, nothing too big or fancy, sometimes just cooking Madara's favourite food, drawing them a bath, offering to take care of their hair. Simple things.

Who makes the other pinky promise not to do certain things?

Madara. Not a literal pinky promise, but they would make Orochimaru promise not to do stupid things, depending on the situation not to do certain experiment, or not to fight certain people. And the thing is, these promises are kept, because Orochimaru knows how much trusts means to them.

Who puts a blanket over the other when they fall asleep on the couch?

Madara. Very often when Orochimaru has too much work to do, he'll pull all-nighters left and right, and so Madara will find him sleeping in the oddest of places, most of the time Madara takes him to bed, but when they can't for any reason, they'll place a blanket over Orochimaru.

[vipraes-a]

Do you ever think about Orochimaru and the fact that he has real low blood pressure, so he’ll be doing his own things, walking around and the suddenly he just.....gets dizzy, can’t see shit and just drops to the floor only to get up and act like nothing happened lmao

[vipraes-a]

I love Orochimaru so much because he is this incredibly intelligent man, he is basically a genius, so extremely smart and yet he knows absolutely nothing about emotions. Severely lacks emotional intelligence, and yet AND YET, very much like a puppy or cat, he knows when someone is upset  ;   he knows when someone is hurting, or angry, or grieving, and very much like a puppy or cat, he doesn't know WHY you are upset, why you feel this way, and he doesn't understand WHY, but he'll try to make you feel better. He'll sit by your side in silence ( because he doesn't know what to say ), or he'll hold you in his arms ( despite not really knowing how to comfort you with words ), he'll do whatever he can to make you feel better, or at least not upset anymore. And I think that's lovely.

[vipraes-a]

A curious question. But if there was someone who had the abilities that Orochimaru needed and yet they seem to can't persuade them into joining their cause. Would they just let them go and figure out another way to do his work without them, or would he manipulate outside forces and use certain situations to convince them to join him?

Just like what Madara did to Obito, would he do the same to someone else?

In that situation, Orochimaru would absolutely manipulate someone to his best interests. The biggest difference between him and Madara is the way in which they manipulate people ; Madara gives the person a common goal, something they work at together while Orochimaru tends to make the person he is manipulate him grow attached to him. In my opinion, Orochimaru is a much more dangerous and scary manipulator because he makes the person he is manipulating love him ━━━━━━ throughout the series, we've only had a couple of people who've hated him for what they did, and seen the majority of the ones he manipulated loved him, see Kimimaro, the sound four, Guren, Kabuto.

The only ones who seemed wary of him were Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo, something that changed during the war arc where we see Karin telling on Sasuke to Orochimaru ━━━━ hinting that she might see him as an authority/parental figure, and Suigetsu hiding behind Orochimaru during their encounter with the Hokages ; indicating that he might not actually think Orochimaru is evil, and instead attribute protection to him.

So, in the case where he couldn't easily convince a person to join him, he would absolutely manipulate the environment to make it work. And here I'm talking, if family is what is keeping this person from joining him, he'll get rid of the family and orchestrate a whole plot of helping them get revenge on those who killed their family if they join him. And during this process, he'd probably end up making this person like him, or see him as a parent figure, which is something he does a lot and most of the time unconsciously.

[vipraes-a]

Does Orochimaru start to get clingy if they and a lover are starting to show signs of separating? Or do they also let them go to save themselves the trouble?

This is difficult because Orochimaru is very clingy, very selfish and very possessive when it comes to romantic relationships ━━━━━━ he needs and wants attention and love and his lover to be possessive of him, to want him and be selfish about having him. So, in this case, I would say that if he isn't ready for the relationship to end, he is going to be extra clingy, and demanding and selfish. He gives himself fully to a relationship, so the idea that his partner would drift away from him is horrid for him to even consider. However, this switch is very easily turned ; and he can go from loving you fully to not feeling anything at all for you in a matter of days or seconds.

Orochimaru will always prioritize his 'survival', his instinct is to protect himself and so if the relationship is dying, and their partner is pulling away and not communicating what is wrong, what Orochimaru can do to 'save' the relationship ━━ basically showing that Orochimaru is the only one that cares at that point, Orochimaru will back off completely and it will be like you've never been together.

Please note that this headcanon will mention child abuse, torture and rape, please be safe while reading it. Though no in-detail description will be provided for the rape, I still want to make sure you are safe so if you cannot handle this please abstain from reading this headcanon.

A few months after Orochimaru graduated from the Academy, Orochimaru was appointed to a mission in Kirigakure. His first serious mission as well as his first mission apart from Tsunade, Jiraiya and Hiruzen. It made him nervous, a bit afraid actually but once he saw his teammates he didn’t feel as scared anymore. Along with him, there were three chuunin and the captain of the team was a renowned jounin.

Orochimaru was aware of his capacity, though at the time he hadn’t left the village much, and definitely hadn’t done any missions with anyone other than his team, which is why he went on this new team thinking all of them were more skilled them him —— after all, they were above his rank, he was only a genin.

The journey to the land of mist was harsh, sidestepping warzones, countless destroyed villages and just carnage Orochimaru at 7, had never really seen. He turned even a few days after they left Konoha, and for some reason that seemed to have angered the three chuunin, though the captain had said nothing. As they progressed, Orochimaru showcased skills way above genin, destroying any enemy that approached them — he was on the same level as their captain, and the man seemed to have noticed it too for when an ambush surrounded them, and he got deadly hit, the man assigned Orochimaru as the captain.

This only seemed to anger the remaining shinobi even more, and Orochimaru felt pressured — not only was this his first real mission, but now he had to lead these three people to success and back home safely. With Orochimaru on the lead they progressed faster, being a tiny master in moving silently, Orochimaru forcefully made them avoid many other unpleasant encounters. It was clear that his teammates were unhappy with what had happened, but Orochimaru wasn’t at fault — how could he have imagined that the captain would die? More so, how could he have imagined that he’d name a now seven year old as captain? The atmosphere was tense, and Orochimaru felt like he couldn’t really trust them —— couldn’t rely on them as much as he’d want.

Once they arrived in Kiri, they reviewed the mission instructions and came up with a plan. It was in theory a simple mission ; get inside a military facility, steal blueprints and any other documents they deemed important and leave. Unseen, unknown — a perfect mission for Orochimaru. However, it was cold in Kiri, colder than any had anticipated, and it began to affect the snake boy. He shivered as they made their way inside the facility —— silent but looking poorly and tired. It only served to make his teammates more angry, why were they being led but a child?!

They were successful in acquiring the documents requested of them, but as they were leaving a plan began to brew on the chuunins’ minds —— if they were to return home, Orochimaru would take the credit for leading them, he’d be idolised because he was seven and had become captain and they’d be mocked by all their peers and forgotten. And so, as they weaved between corridors filled with traps, one of the chuunin triggered an alarm, and as Orochimaru was busy fighting hoard of shinobi that descended upon him, the three chuunin escaped using the earth style technique of one of them. Running back to Konoha without a single glance back.

Orochimaru took a while to realise he was alone — and he didn’t even make the connection that he had been betrayed. He held his own bravely against the Kirigakure shinobi, killing so many of them he could barely count — and yet they kept coming, and it was cold, and he was exhausted and at the end of the day, he was a seven-year-old boy. Once the strain on his body became too much, Orochimaru collapsed, and as he passed out, he accepted the fate that he’d probably die at that moment.

He did not expect to wake up in a dungeon —- cold and clammy, the feeling of moisture making him feel disgusting. It took him a few moments to gather himself, and to notice the chains on his ankles and wrists, chakra binding chains, heavy enough to be impossible for someone as frail as him to break without chakra. Orochimaru kept calm despite his situation, the others wouldn’t take long to get to the village and then they’d send an envoy to rescue him. So he just had to wait it out, he just had to resist.

Orochimaru refused to answer to any of the questions the interrogator presented him, only staring at him with harsh golden eyes —- too smart to be those of a mere 7 year old. Soon enough, the shinobi grew impatient, nervous as Orochimaru caught the scent of fear in the air —— they were afraid of punishment for losing information, for losing something they didn’t even know what it was or how to get it back. This fear prompted desperation, and soon the interrogations became torture sessions.

In the academy they had been briefed that Shinobi must endure torture sometimes, and that to protect the village’s information and integrity was essential—- you mustn’t break under the torture of the enemy. And Orochimaru kept that in mind as they hurt him. Refusing to talk, biting his cheek and tongue in other to stop screaming.

With each passing day they grew more creative —— Orochimaru’s own biology played against him as his healing process was incredibly fast, which allowed his captors to exercise their torture again and again and again, day after day, with no period of rest. They’d beat him until he was black and blue, they’d break bone after bone, they drown him, stab him, carve words into his body, pull his teeth from his mouth only to be delighted as the next day a new set of teeth had grown back in its place.

The torture and the fast healing took a toll on his body, he was thinner than ever before, unable to rest and holding onto the hope that Konoha was coming to save him. They would come, soon they’d be there and he’d be going home —— he’d see Tsunade and Jiraiya and sensei again, it would be warm and cozy and he’d be able to eat, and rest, and the pain would go away. He kept repeating those words in his mind, trying to hold onto the hope that he’d be saved, but as the days passed and the kiri shinobi grew more desperate, those flames started to fade.

His body no longer had the strength to heal itself fully, and after one session, in which they focused their attention on beating his face, Orochimaru lost his sight. Everything was dark —-and it just made the psychological part of torture even more unbearable. He didn’t know where they were, he didn’t know what they’d do. Only after a few days of complete darkness he realised he could see things —— differently from how he normally saw, Orochimaru now seems to be able to see heat signals, vaguely recognise human-like shapes approaching him. It was not ideal, but it made the terror less paralysing.

The only thing that echoed through that military facility was his voice, his desperate screams as the Kirigakure shinobi grew more aggressive as the prospect of their own punishment approached them. The concept of time was lost to him, and as his hope hung on its last ropes, Orochimaru started to realise that Konoha was not coming to get him. That he’d been abandoned.

He tried to fight those thoughts, because he knew Tsunade and Jiraiya wouldn’t allow this to happen, he knew sensei would try to find him. But...why were they taking so long?

TW RAPE

After months and months of physical torture failing them, the Kirigakure shinobi decided for a more cruel and despicable punishment. Orochimaru had no clue of what would happen, but he felt several shinobi walking into his cell —— that was most unusual, only two had tortured him before, now he could sense six people. They spoke to him, saying that he’d regret not talking, not collaborating with them.

And Orochimaru didn’t understand, he didn’t understand until he heard the sound of clothes being unzipped, until he felt hands on his body, peeling away what was left of his kimono. That is when he realised what they were about to do — and for once, for once he found the strength to fight back, struggling against his chains and their hands, screaming at them to get away from him and yet, nothing worked.

Held down and tied up, he was raped on the cold and stony floor of the dungeons. Again and again, until those six shinobi were satisfied. This was repeated everyday, growing exponentially more brutal as Orochimaru ceased to respond.

They had broken him. Something inside of him snapped, and those thoughts filled with hope went silent, giving place to a presence so dark Orochimaru couldn’t visualise it —— it whispered in his mind, it coddled his broken self, and told him of the horrible things they could do to those shinobi. It spoke of sweet revenge, of the thrill of surviving, of the beauty of bathing everything around them with blood.

After a particularly brutal and horrible attack, Orochimaru sat in his cell, eyes vacant, blood dripping down his thighs and body aching, something happened and his mind clicked shut. He felt nothing, he thought nothing, and as he stared at the chains binding him — he decided it was time to leave. Gone was the fear, the terror he had faced, gone was the pain, the self preservation that stopped him from mutilating himself. And so, he broke his own bones, hands and ankles bent in ungodly ways in order to slip from the chains. With chakra now flowing to him, Orochimaru healed his hands but ignored his feet — he felt no pain, and he had things to do.

Upon exiting his cell, his mind blacked out. Orochimaru came back to himself in the middle of a massacre, the walls of the facility all painted red and dripping, he himself coated with the blood of the shinobi who hurt him — the shinobi who broke him, and that voice, that presence in the back of his mind hissing happily. As he walked out of the shinobi facility, all he could hear were the screams of the shinobi he had bitten ; dying slowly from his venom, and as those sounds faded behind him Orochimaru allowed the thing in the back of his mind to take over.

It would lead them back home, it would keep them safe until he didn’t have to worry about it anymore. As they walked, Orochimaru passed by a small store, and saw the date — 27th of October, it was his birthday, his 8th birthday. He endured a year of hell. And then, and only then he allowed himself to cry —— he walked on broken feet, crying and laughing hysterically until all emotion was gone. Gone and replaced by the blissful softness of that voice, that whispery presence in the back of his mind.

What arrived at the gates of Konoha was not entirely human, it was covered in blood and dirt, clothes barely covering the sickly thin and starving body, eyes dull and expression blank. It was a wraith, a ghost, something that had long since died. As he crossed the threshold of the gates, Orochimaru collapsed —— and those who found him knew, that something terrible had happened to Hiruzen’s missing student.

After being healed and assessed by countless doctors, Orochimaru went through interrogation once more, and many interrogators from the Yamanaka clan had ran out of the room. Some disturbed enough to ask to be put on leave, the ones who managed to navigate the events reported their findings to the Hokage, and Orochimaru was instructed not to say anything about what had happened to people —— after all, they couldn’t have shinobi stop believing in their comrades, now could they? It didn’t anger him, he couldn’t feel anything anymore, he simply blinked at the white haired man, and nodded, exiting the room.

What returned form Kirigakure was not the Orochimaru Tsunade and Jiraiya knew, it was darker, colder, crueler, less soft. There was something lurking beneath the pretty gold of his eyes, something dangerous, something not human. And that thing would only grow as the years went by, feeding on the trauma he’d never get to work on and overcome, feeding on every single betrayal he’d come to suffer in the future.

━━━ which female horror archetype are you?

━━━━━━━━━━ the witch  ;  

the prophet, the scapegoat, the she-devil. you're feared because of your ambition. like the she-beast, your metamorphosis was sudden and frightening, but unlike her, you sought your power out and evolved by the force your own will. your patron saint is nancy downs. you're most compatible with the siren, whose inherent freedom is exactly what you aspire to gain.

━━━━━━━━━━ snowflake obsidian  ;  

you are all grit and closed fists. you refuse to let anything in through the cracks of your armor. you would burn the world to protect those you love. the heart of a warrior burns in your chest. and it also weighs your shoulders down. what is the price for being so strong? what have you sacrificed to make yourself feel safe? when was the last time you let someone see your soul? when was the last time you let someone see you and not just the masks you hide behind? not everything must be a fight.

I'm just going to say this. XD People don't realize how badass Orochimaru is since they almost never take their earrings off before a fight. And they're the loose kind too!

Reasons why Orochimaru doesn’t take his earrings off during a fight:

1. ) aesthetic purposes, he looks fabulous with them on and so why would he make himself less fabulous? absolute not.

2 . ) they have sentimental value, Jiraiya and Tsunade gave them to him on his first birthday back to Konoha after the Kirigakure incident and so they make him feel safe and grounded.

3 . ) he’s a bad bitch and bad bitches don’t take their earrings nor their acrylics off to fight them hoes.

[vipraes-a]

Ever thought of Orochimaru just having those days when they refuse to get out of bed for various reasons and excuses? And since they can get away with it, how do they feel about someone else feeling the same way?

See I think about that a lot. Orochimaru is not a morning person so getting up is usually hard for him, and like any other person he does have those days in which he just wants to cocoon himself under his blankets and not be perceived. However, he hardly allows himself to fulfil these urges, he forces himself to get up, to move because of many reasons. One of them is his village, he has a village to run, thousands of people to take care of on top of his own little family. The other is that he perceives this need to just hide away and stay in bed all day as a weakness, vulnerability he still doesn’t allow himself to showcase nor experience. The only moment he succumbs to it is on the anniversary of Kimimaro and the sound four’s deaths —— that day he is just miserable and upset and he doesn’t leave his room.

As for how he deals with it when it comes to other people is quite different —— Orochimaru is able to recognise trauma and general emotions on other people, he is able to assess them more accurately when it comes to others, because he was groomed into perceiving himself as only a weapon, something that had no need for feelings, that had no needs period. And so while he is completely clueless and often wrong about his own emotional needs, towards other people he is understanding and able to feel sympathy for them.

So if there was ever a day in which, let’s say Kabuto, didn’t feel like getting out of bed, for whatever reason or excuse, Orochimaru would be lenient —— more often than not, allowing it to happen.

[vipraes-a]

for a while now, and more often since I’ve started delving into madaoro again, I have been associating orochimaru not with the moon, moonlight or nighttime, but actually with the sunrise. I don’t know why, or how to explain it, but....he feels to me like a sunrise, especially in this dynamic. 

[vipraes-a]

He thinks he’s cute.... ( Narrator voice: He is indeed cute, the most adorable, however his ego does not need to get any bigger ).

I've pointed this out before but I feel like it is always good to remind everyone that while my Orochimaru understands the things he did hurt A LOT of people, and that some of those things he did against his will, he doesn't regret anything. He feels bad about the child experimentation, but does he regret it? No. He can't find it in himself to regret the things that led him to the life he has now.

[vipraes-a]

             ❛     .     🖤 + jiramadaoro    .     @asaraltu​ & @hellroots​    .

1) my muse’s initial impression of yours

Orochimaru's first impression of Jiraiya when he started to get to know him was "What an idiot" but in a very lovable way, it was by being such an idiot that Jiraiya endeared himself to Orochimaru. As for Madara, Orochimaru found him very complex to understand, because he seemed unapproachable but also, so easy to talk to. An intriguing push and pull that enthralled him.

2) my muse’s favorite physical attribute of yours

Orochimaru is very fond of Jiraiya's hair, thick, fluffy and white it is like touching a cloud. And as cliché as it sounds, he loves Madara's eyes  ; not for his sharingan, but for how much emotion they can show when he wants them to. Another thing he loves in both of them are their beauty or birth marks, each and every single scar they bare on their bodies. Orochimaru adores them, because he himself has none anymore, and he finds that they make his stunning lovers even more beautiful.

3) my muse’s favorite personality attribute of yours

He loves Jiraiya's warmth, his ability to put himself in another's shoes and empathize with them. Madara's passion is enchanting, and it is one of the things Orochimaru loves most about the man. How he feels so intensely, how he hates and loves like a volcanic eruption.

4) a moment that made my muse realize how much they care about yours

The moment he told both of them about what happened to him in Kirigakure, and neither of them shamed him, neither of them thought him weak for breaking-down, for having a full-blown panic attack retelling what he lived there. And in the end of it all, having Jiraiya hold him, and Madara offering to slaughter all of those that had wronged him  ;  that was the moment he realised how much he cared for these men.

5) something my muse never found the words to say to yours

He never really found the right words to express how much he loves them. He'll confess his love, say the typical 'i love you's but it doesn't feel enough. He doesn't have enough words to express the intensity of his love for them.

6) something my muse wishes they had never said to yours

Sometimes, on really bad days, he wishes he had never told them he loved them. That he had let them develop their relationship without him, that he hadn't been so selfish as to want their love.

7) something your muse does that makes mine feel safe

Jiraiya throwing his arm over his shoulders, playfully shoving him from time to time  ;  the banter they developed as children still being present in their romantic relationship makes him feel grounded and safe. Madara's careful touches, the way he holds Orochimaru's face and hands from time to time in contrast with how rough they can get when they are possessive never fails to make Orochimaru feel safe.

8) something your muse does that makes mine smile

Orochimaru adores to see Madara and Jiraiya bickering, to watch them feeding each other's fire. He also adores when either one of his lovers is sleepy, loves it when they get cuddly and clingy so he can spoil them.

9) something my muse wants to protect yours from

He wants to protect them from everything. Anything that can cause them harm, he will destroy galaxies for them and their happiness.

10) ways my muse says ‘i love you’ without saying those words

Buying them gifts, cooking for them, taking care of their hair, setting their clothes for them in the morning are all little ways Orochimaru says I love you without actually saying the words.

[vipraes-a]

❛     .     I'm not sure how well you know astrology, and it's okay if you don't feel comfortable answering this, but what would you say would be Orochimaru's Moon sign? Rising sign? We know from canon that his Sun sign is Scorpio, since his birthday is October 27th (according to the tropical zodiac).     .     @super-kame-love​    .

So I went ahead and just made his whole natal chart for all you astrology enthusiasts out there: 

Some explanations and stuff undercut !!

The Sun

The Sun represents vitality, a sense of individuality, and outward-shining creative energy.

The Sun is in Scorpio

Scorpios are known for their intensity. They are determined folk that absolutely throw themselves into whatever they do -- but getting them to commit to something is rarely an easy task. In fact, it's better not to even try to "get them" to do anything. Solar Scorpios absolutely have their own mind. And, their primary motivation is unlikely to be prestige (like their Capricorn friends), or even authority (Leos can have that, too)--it's real power. Their power can absolutely be of the "behind the scenes" variety, just as long as they have it. To others, Scorpios seem to have plenty of willpower. They probably do. Scorpios do know what they want, and they won't go out and grab it at the wrong moment. They simply sit back, watch (quite expertly), and then get it only when the moment is just right. This apparent patience is simply their powerful skills at strategy at work. Scorpio isn't afraid of getting their hands (their bodies, their minds) dirty. The darker side of life intrigues them, and they're always ready to investigate. Scorpios simply never give up. They have tremendous staying power. They're not in the slightest intimidated by anybody or anything. Confrontations are not a problem. In fact, talk to any Scorpio about their lives, and you'll probably be in awe at all they've gone through. Trauma seems to follow them wherever they go. When Scorpio learns optimism, instead of expecting the worst, they'll find that they possess amazing regenerative powers -- the power to heal, create, and transform.

The Moon

The Moon represents the emotional responses, unconscious pre-destination, and the self-image. The Moon represents the emotions, and the Moon sign shows how a person expresses themselves when at home, at ease, and comfortable.

The Moon is in Libra

Moon in Libra people have a strong need for partnership. Without someone to share their lives with, they feel utterly incomplete. This is why many people with this position get involved in marriages or living-together arrangements quite young. Because this drive for harmony, peace, and sharing is so powerful, Lunar Librans are apt to do a lot of conceding. They are sympathetic and concerned for others, enjoy socializing, and revel in a good debate. Mental rapport with others is especially important to them. Lunar Librans feel safe and secure when they are in a partnership. These are the people who seem to always need to have someone tag along with them wherever they go -- even if it is to the corner store. They find strength and reinforcement in and through others. People with this position are often quite charming. They can be very attractive to be around, and are often given to flirtatiousness. Rarely directly aggressive, these people win your heart with their gentle and refined ways. Moon in Libra natives simply can't help but see flaws in their environment and their relationships. In fact, anything out of whack will bother them until it's fixed. Although diplomatic with acquaintances, when Moon in Libra natives argue with their long-standing partners, they rarely let up until they win. And, winning an argument is a Libran specialty--in fact, they may not even believe what they are saying, but will adopt all kinds of ideas just to get the last word. Living with Lunar Librans can sometimes feel like you are on trial, and Libra is the expert lawyer. Sometimes, though, Libra is defending you and supporting your point of view. Lunar Librans' idealistic outlook and constant striving for the best, most harmonious lifestyle can lead to much discontent. Looking for that one (elusive) perfect way to lead their lives can detract from enjoyment of the moment.

Mercury

Mercury represents communication, Cartesian and logical spirit.

Mercury is in Libra

Usually quite diplomatic and tactful, he evaluates and weighs things up endlessly, often to the point of indecisiveness. Of good judgment, he expresses himself clearly. Before coming to an opinion on a subject, he listens to the opinions offered by various people and can compare them before making up his own mind. Mental affinity in his relationships is paramount. He is good at compromising and always tries to put himself in others' shoes. Some mental laziness.

Venus

Venus represents an interest in emotions and values, exchange, and sharing with others.

Venus is in Scorpio

Venus in Scorpio people attract others with their intensity and willingness to commit. They have a strong and concentrated manner which suggests their feelings run deep.

Their body-and-soul love and commitment can be so intense that it eclipses fun and makes loving them a very heavy experience. Their emotion and intensity may seem overdone to those looking for a more lighthearted relationship. These people take things to extremes, and can be very provocative.

Depending on the moment, Venus in Scorpio will shoot you one of the most piercing glares around, or totally blow up. Whichever style they choose, a slighted Scorpio lover is not a pretty sight.

Appreciate their guts when it comes to love and intimacy -- they're proud of their courage in these matters. If you can, and they're deserving, relinquish some of the control in the relationship. Let them feel they own you, without taking it to extremes. Remember, though, that some Venus in Scorpio lovers can and will take advantage of you on a subtle level, if only to keep you all to themselves. Let them have their secrets and their silences.

What are Orochimaru's common ailments that he goes through daily but are easily treated and can be ignored? Example like, headaches/migraines, body aches, stomach issues...

Well, we all know Orochimaru is far from being the healthiest person around, but despite that he doesn’t suffer from too many daily or easy to fix ailments. His blood pressure is quite low, lower than normal, and so he often feels dizzy —— having to sit down or he’ll faint, something that he quickly fixes by putting a bit of salt under his tongue. And he also suffers from dietary issues. He was never a great fan of food ; because normal human food is not what he is meant to be eating, so he usually deals with nausea due to not eating or even eating something that just doesn’t sit right with him —— like most foods. Aside from those, Orochimaru can occasionally suffer from sensory issues ; his synesthesia can easily overwhelm him from time to time, and he’ll need to be put in his bed in the dark, so that he can get his brain back in order.
