astro observations 4 / random edition 1.

TW : virgo roast (sorry guys lmao), slight 18+ stuff and hot women lol

is it me or...?? #1

Is it me or do people that are born in late november / early december of 2005 (basically sagittariuses lmaoo) are often left handed or ambidextrous ?

Is it me or are Venus in Aquarius people really clingy ??? i thought my sister and I were the only ones who saw that but I've seen other people on here say the same thing.

Is it me or are women with Scorpio on the ascendant often really underestimated and labeled as airheads ?

Venus in Scorpio women and men's beauty + mix of libra and scorpio personal planets

a lot of women with scorpio venus tend to grow up chubby and the ugly duckling and then have this huge glow up and everyone is SHOOK

 women with Venus in Scorpio and Libra placements are literally the embodiment of beauty like they are the reincarnation of aphrodite. (It can also be applied to Venus in libra with other scorpio placements in the personal planets)

Their beauty is magnetic. I know it's overtly said in the astro community but there is a reason for that. They are not just pretty, no, they have striking features. They don't have to fit the beauty standards of their cultures or of an algorithm, they just have that je ne sais quoi.

example here : Adèle Castillon, Sun at 0 degree and Rising in Scorpio, Venus and Mercury in Libra.

(i actually have sooo many real life examples such as a few of my friends or acquaintances as well as my sister but I sadly can't post them on here...they would make such good and more realistic examples but it's okay lol)

Maybe It is up to everyone's taste, but, personally I find them so breathtaking. They're NOT just instagram model good looking NO a lot of women with this astro combo that i've met were genuinely so magnetic, their energy spoke for themselves

They also look so good with darker makeup and goth looks.

Men with Venus in the 8th house / Scorpio

Men with Venus in Scorpio or Venus in the 8th house tend to have really captivating eyes, and beautiful thick eyelashes like this :

On the left : Slimane, Venus in the 8th house / On the right : Imurgency, Venus in Scorpio

The humor of people with a mix of sagittarius and aquarius placements :

 People with a mix of sagittarius and Aquarius energies with some mercurial influence are so cringy but not in a bad way. They are just being themselves and they do it unapologetically.

They either have a really brainrot type of humor or redneck type of humor mixed with a dirty mind and a certain vulgarity that is meant to be funny but it usually makes people uncomfortable (which is why they're cringe BUT funny at the same time )

Mercurial moons being freaky +18

sorry but why are moon in virgos actual freaks (in the sense that they are freaky and h*rny and think about freaky ah stuff 24/7) and why are moon in geminis so dirty minded ? i swear mercurials don’t get enough credit for the freaks they are. In my experience, they're definitely the most dirty minded signs of the zodiac. They're the type to see innuendos EVERYWHERE and die inside when you say stuff like "I'm coming".

North node/ south node in pisces-virgo /12th house - 6th house node axis

Women I know with a north node in pisces/south node in virgo / 12th -6th house always have their nails painted in a simple color that goes well with their outfits for the week. They usually always look clean. Their nails are never dirty, always clipped and well groomed.

7th house observations on my chart and my "romantic" (BIG words right there lmaoo) life :

The two guys I've been "romantically" involved with both had Venus in Gemini. (one had it in the 9th house, the other one in the 11th house). I am Sagittarius rising with a 9th house south node, as well as a Gemini 7th house. Us being involved "romantically" makes a lot of sense. It was probably somewhat fated.

Both had a different ethnicity than me.

It's quite common to have a crush on people with whom you share a 1st house synastry with and as a Sagittarius rising, I know one guy who had a huge crush on me and he had a Sagittarius stellium, including his Venus.

Generational placements

 Generational placements do exist. A huge part of my family, including my parents and my sister, have 6th house placements/stelliums. They also have a significant earth placement either in Taurus or Capricorn and /or are Saturn dominant. There is also a big theme with the 6th house/12th house axis.

I am literally the only one (as far as I know) who has no placements in any earth signs or in the 6th house.

• Growing up, my parents were always working, even during weekends and the only vacations they got. They worked so hard and non stop, and often came late from work. I was really isolated growing up, despite having a sibling. I would sometimes cook myself dinner at like 8  (4th house in Aries at 22nd degrees and 3rd house in Pisces with Mars in Aries in it)

TW : that's where the virgo roast begins (it's mostly about unevolved ones)

• I second what Zeldas notes says about Virgos..the most obnoxious sign of the zodiac for sure. I can't stand their negative energies and how they constantly justify their bitter critiques behind a "I am just being realistic" mindset like go s*ck your d*ck, respectfully. I don't want your unsolicited advices, especially when your life is just you being stuck in karmic cycles, living in a lack mindset and b*tching about people all day. No thanks.

Aquarius and avoiding confrontation 

No matter what people say, the sign that avoids confrontation the most is hands down Aquarius. Libras are commonly known for that for obvious reasons, since they care too much about keeping the peace and the harmony no matter what. But, at least, Libras are passive-agressive, so you end up kind of knowing that they have a problem with you. Aquarius placements, on the other hand, have a really unpredictable, hard to read, and somewhat stoic energy, which makes it hard for people to know where they stand with them. The ones that I've met are NEXT level when it comes to avoid confronting things. Like Pisces, as they are the last signs in the zodiac wheel, they have a really hightened sensitivity, which makes them prone to seek ways to avoid reality more than other signs. This "avoiding reality" trait manifests itself so strongly in Aquarius placements, especially when it's placed in Mars from my personal experience.

This energy in one of my Solar Return charts: The year I had an Aquarius rising, with a Mars in Aquarius and a 11th house stellium, I avoided confrontation for a whole ass year. I ghosted everyone consistently. I was weirdly self-centered and felt so different (literally the "i'm weird i'm a weirdo" meme from that riverdale scene..help-). I felt out of place in the friend group I was in but never directly confronted them and dealt with the problem. I was just suffering in silence, pretending not to be as uncomfortable as I really was. By the end of the year, I just straight up avoided them without giving any type of explanation. At that time, i did not directly explained myself. I only did it through other people who were sent by this ex-friend group, and I did it really cryptically.

i have the biggest crush on her y'all just don't understand i am down bad she's drop dead gorgeous a godess thee reincarnation of aphrodite allegory of beauty i love her my jaw drops on the floor whenever i see her i believe in scorpio women supremacy period.

remember guys : stay blessed.

[an-ruraiocht]

so i'm trying out the app "say something in..." for welsh and it essentially gives you phrases to repeat and combine in different ways, interspersed with a nice welsh man telling you facts about brains and how they learn, reminding you that your brain is amazing and that you definitely can learn to speak welsh, and encouraging you to "learn a little bit more welsh for me"

it's very different from the duolingo shame/guilt motivation and also i have to say. i don't personally have a praise kink but if you do and you want a gentle-voiced welsh man to tell you you're doing really well all the time. well

i posted this on my twitter already BUT! the tumblr people should see too.

have u guys ever noticed how in the pleiades night outfits, only natsume and tsumugi have a pentagram on their designs? this is likely a reference to the Pentagram of Venus!

as 5 periods of Venus take eight years, it makes it so when viewed from earth, Venus is in the same position with respect not only to the sun, but also the stars 5 times! with its path creating a pentagram, its recognized as the Pentagram of Venus in astrology! only natsume and tsumugi have a reference to Venus, the planet of love!!

and for anyone confused, note how one circle is for venus and the other for earth, just like in their design!! venus also conjunctions with the pleiades yearly!!! its all connected!! its so cool!!!!

Based on a scene from my latest chapter (linked below) + closer action shot

[irlnorthshaw]

maya "west" shaw – oc moment!!!

making a headcanon post for my oc because i cant be fucked to pick up drawing again... editing is stressful enough!!!

we should normalise making sibling ocs because i cannot stop thinking about north potentially having a sister

so i made maya!! she is my oc and north's younger sister and arguably a better player than him. so she claims

while north moved to LA, maya stayed in the aussie gold coast with her family

she only plays local as the super league does not have a women's category (YET)

but she does play under a different league and also reps the australian national team!!

i made her as part of my super league women's category au where she ends up playing for IU

basic info::

maya is ALMOST north's height, tho a few inches shorter

she has a very thick australian accent– so whenever she talks to north she will never miss out on the opportunity to point out him being so "american washed"

coined the "west" nickname from north himself because she takes over the left wing as a midfielder

insanely disorganised, she would put something down on her bed and the next minute its gone within a pile of other stuff

even her playing style is a bit aggressive and erratic

personality wise she's a bit more toned down than north. not as impulsive but definitely more crass

she lives so close to "surfers paradise" but absolute hates the beach and even the thought of surfing?? no

started playing soccer the same time north picked it up. she basically copied almost everything he did growing up (except for surfing)

the team is very much aware of her existence since she's always calling north when he's on tour

during a call, out of nowhere, she would scream on speaker "NO WAY, EL MATADOR REALLY SMELLS THAT BAD???" unprovoked just so everyone would beat north's ass

i hc north as transmasc and she was the first person he came out too in high school. let's be real she dreaded it. she loves him ofc but older brother who's a soccer superstar?? she is never escaping the "is your brother single?" questions from every single person she meets.

her relationship w the team::

she is not too involved in north's career as she has her own to deal with, but does occasionally meet the other guys when she's visiting north

a people's person. she gets along well with everyone but the closest with cj

constantly asking cj for tips as they both play left wing! but asking for tips usually turns into hours-long shit talking and pop culture references

she's not one to drop embarrassing childhood stories because she thinks north now is embarrassing enough

when she started playing for IU, the tension was unbelievable and the others kept poking at north for it

no hard feelings though!! unless...

J.R.R. Tolkien, The History of Middle-earth vol. 9: Sauron Defeated - “The second version of the Epilogue” (p. 127–128)

[vulpinesaint]

kind of unfortunate that so many fantasy epics are also war novels because i will be honest i just do not like war novels that much... the grand clashing of forces is compelling obviously but it requires characters to talk about so much practical battle strategy and while i can get my brain to comprehend all these fantasy maps and kingdoms and borders and battalions and front lines and army movements it takes up. so much space in the book. feels like i'm fighting a war of my own trying to get through it sometimes

Chloe: From now on, we will be using code names. You can address me as "Eagle One."

Chloe: Rachel, code name: "Been There, Done That."

Chloe: Max is "Currently Doing That."

Chloe: Steph is "It Happened Once in a Dream."

Chloe: Mikey, code name: "If I Had To Pick a Dude."

Chloe: Kate is... "Eagle Two."

Kate: Oh, thank God.

(Later)

Chloe: This is "Eagle One." "Been There, Done That" is leaving the stage. "I'd Be Lying If I Said I Hadn't Thought About It" (Victoria) is in position.

Personal headcanon:

Halsin can’t handle spicy food very well. Yes he did have stomach problems (at first, he was fine after a month) when he lived a year at Jyothika’s village and he would join her family for dinner every night (he was technically a guest of her Amma’s, her Amma asked Halsin to teach some of the villagers, who had Druid magic, and he stayed on for a year to do so)

But he loves sweet food (one of his fav things is honey after all). And he loved all the desserts that her people made

So when he joins the camp and realizes that not only can Jyothika cook now, she can also make all of her people’s desserts (especially Gulab Jamun) you better believe he starts bugging her to make it often

And yes he was a bit of a menace at the tiefling party when Jyothika was making food for everyone (in my headcanon, Jyothika makes all the food for the party because she wants the refugees to have a good meal to celebrate the fact that they survived the goblin camp) and he kept trying to eat the desserts and she had to swat him away before finally roping him and Bhavan (who kept trying to sneak pieces of the grilled meat) into helping her cook

She also gets Gale to help her cook too, since it’s a lot of food for a lot of people and it’s the one time he doesn’t fight with her about cooking

Bhavan meanwhile was on cloud nine the entire time he was eating her food during the party because, as I mentioned before, he’s from the same culture as her. He does not remember his past at this point however which means he does not remember that this is his food culture too. But he recognizes everything, once he tastes it, as something he grew up eating. And after the tenth time of commenting “oh my gosh I know this, I think I grew up eating this” Jyothika is finally like “Bhavi, I think you might be from the same culture as me”

Which is very exciting for her (even if he doesn’t remember) because it’s been ages since she last met anyone from her culture

Patrick sumner. Victorian era doctor. Whaler. High Society intellectual type. Makes his living with his brain, not his body. Moral and ethical. Except he's not really any of those things. These are the things he tries to be and what his journal reflects.

He walks around, composing entries in his mind. polished, poetic, faux philosophical words that he plays with like toys. Then he'll do something to completely contradict himself. What he writes versus what he does. Who he is in writing versus who he is in reality. Words words words.

Later, after they have Drax chained up in the hold, hes talking to Otto trying to make sense of why someone would do what Drax has done. Otto says "They don't have words that could explain it." Which goes against sumner's belief. That without words, the whole thing (human society) falls apart. They need words and reasons. They need all the bullshit he fills his journal with. Or else they're beasts.

He uses laundenum and words to hide from himself. His feelings, his memories, his situation in life. He's trying to write a reality that makes sense. But it still comes out in his nightmares. He isn't an intellectual high society doctor waiting for his inheritance. He's a disenfranchised man, struggling to survive.

Even after the laundenum is taken away, and he goes through his violent sobering, even now hes writing it out in his head. "Freed from the tyranny of the laundenum." Or something along those lines. Yet the moment he meets the priest, he asks him if he's got laundenum.

When he fell into the northern water in the first episode, Otto asked if he had died. Sumner said no, if he had died he would feel different. When the priest finds him in the polar bear, he asks if he's been reborn. And Sumner says he has no history now. He doesn't want to learn anything anew. This time, he did die and he was reborn.

For the first time in the show, his thoughts are quiet. his journal lost somewhere along the way. The laundenum dried up and gone. When he goes hunting with the Inuit men, he sits on the sleigh, wind blowing, and he closes his eyes. No more fancy words. He doesn't share a language with the men he's traveling with. Yet when they stare at the sunset and smile at him, they don't need words. There's no artifice here. He lets all that go.

Sumner comes to terms with himself as a human being living in circumstances that are unfair and terrifying. He has been running from this reality, using words and drugs to build up a cage around himself. For protection maybe. But it kept him powerless and afraid. But that's gone now. He's not stuck there anymore.

i like this map of isat's world from one of the q&a devlogs a lot. for one, southern hemisphere realness, my entirely imagined polaris vs crux beef is pleased.

but for two, dev said they only made up two neighbouring country names, just enough worldbuilding to make vaugarde feel like its not alone in the world, don't need anymore than that! nothing else to see here!!
