#Aquari Talks

shinonome is an aquarius oh we are MEANT TO BE

[youzicha]

It's easy to make fun of the Sigma Grindset memes, tweeting about their optimized sleep routine and relentless drive for productivity and network as net worth. But then, the alternatives don't look too good either: Hippies making good vibrations at the Dawn of Aquarious; ascetic eco-warriors saving the planet one upcycled mason jar at the time; the hipster intelligentsia seeking out and comparing ever more rarified and ineffable aesthetic experiences; and let's not even talk about whatever it is the Catholic converts are doing. I think the basic problem is... did the Existentialists call it 'absurdity'? The human condition is a mess, but still you gotta have some kind of meaning of life, so what can you do but larp it?

Astrology Observation #5

by : Brielledoesastrology (tumblr)

finally another quite long astrology observation post that i havent made in like 1 year maybe.... Also happy halloween guys 🎃✨

- Brielle

Pisces mars really gotta be careful. I am being for real. These people have a really hard time realizing or knowing who their enemies are and who aren't. Most of them also can have anger or emotional breakdowns for things that they imagine themself or things that aren't even real. These are the type of people that suddenly hate you for no actual reason. This placement is the definition of "sometimes delulu is not always the selulu." They are also the type of people to start a whole drama or fight first because of their own delusions that aren't even real and then end up blaming other people.

.

Asteroid Klio (84) is such an underrated huge fame indicator/potential asteroid that people rarely talk about here in this community. This is the type of fame that is until history, the type of fame that makes someone a historical figure, or at least remembered in history.

.

I noticed a lot of pluto in the 7th house people enjoy admiring other people from social media. Sometimes they also enjoy following social media trends from following other people too especially stuff relating to skin care or makeup or anything else that they will think to give them that "glow up". (These types of influence will be stronger if the pluto is aspecting venus too). On the other hand if they aren't admiring they could easily be jealous or envying those people who they think that looks or are doing better than themself. Or They could easily attract jealousy or envy from other people too (beware of attracting people that drains u)

.

I've seen asteroid toro (1685) being prominent in the astrology natal charts of a lot of people that are bullies or being bullied or being accused of bullying. The asteroid was not named after a mythological figure but a person, but it really resonates with its Spanish meaning. "Toro" is "bull" in spanish. Usually if they aren't being bullied or a bully they usually have this intimidating look to people.

example of people who have asteroid toro (1685) prominent in their chart :

- Rihanna has asteroid toro (1685) conjunct her mars (0 orb)

(accused of being a mean girl)

- Kim Garam has asteroid toro (1685) conjunct her mercury (0 orb)

(accused of bullying)

- Cardi B has asteroid toro (1685) conjunct her mercury (1 orb)

(accused of being a mean girl)

- Hailey Bieber has asteroid toro (1685) conjunct her midheaven (1 orb)

( the public always accuses her of bullying or being a mean girl even for the pettiest reason )

- Marilyn Monroe has asteroid toro (1685) conjunct her sun (2 orb)

(From early on, Monroe was reputed to be difficult: bullied by misogynistic directors, and frustrated at her lack of control, she was cited as debilitatingly late and forgetful. Zanuck suspended Monroe in 1954 when she frustratedly refused yet another pin-up role)

.

I noticed most people with mars in gemini use the "spread rumors" (either fake or real ones) tactics for revenge or if they feel offended by something or someone. I am not surprised since gemini is ruled by mercury and mercury represents "communications" in general. But it works differently than virgo.

.

Mars in virgo revenge tactics are more into gathering proofs or receipts (either fake or real ones) then making it very detailed and very specific compared to mars in gemini .

.

I noticed both of the top male n female rappers in the rap game got asteroid hannibal (2152) prominent in their chart. Especially strongly aspecting mercury and 3rd house placements.

- Nicki minaj have asteroid hannibal (2152) conjunct her mercury and conjunct her neptune on sagittarius all on 0 orb.

- Eminem have asteroid hannibal (2152) conjunct his moon in aquarious in 1 orb in the 3rd house.

(for a context the asteroid hannibal is named after hannibal barca which he was the no.1 most greatest and most feared enemy of the roman empire)

.

I see so many people with Gemini moons really don't have a problem posting their emotions in social media publicly so all people can see. I also saw most of these people are very bad at keeping things privately to themselves. They can't really "cry or suffer in private" usually most of the time because of their own behavior.

.

Scorpio placements are not always private or very introverted like what most people say about the sign. I have seen many scorpio placements who just say what they think bluntly n they don't care if other people think that it is too deep or dark or offensive.

.

Fun fact : Did you know that the name asteroid Swift (5035) exactly conjunct taylor swift's sun in her astrology natal chart! Name asteroids r really interesting!!!!

.

This is controversial to say, but i have to say it. Not all women or girls who have lilith (1181) or black moon lilith (h13) prominent in their charts are a "girls girl / supporting each other women" or a "feminist". It is because most people with Black moon lilith (h13) or asteroid lilith (1181) have at least ever experienced a very long phase of their life of being cast out of a social group (well obviously this can be done by both genders either males or females social groups casting them out ).

.

But most of the time i see that for the Women or Girls who have Black moon lilith (h13) or asteroid lilith (1181) prominent in their chart have ever been at least ever experienced a very long phase of their life of being casted out by a social group of their female friends (most of the time because their female friends did something terrible/bad to them that leads the h13 lilith/1181 lilith women or girl being or feeling casted out from their group). This could lead to internalized misogyny about their feelings of women if they grew up without fixing this issue.

.

This is weird but i have seen many many many men who have venus - pluto in square,opposition or even conjunctions ended up being incels.

How Pluto Entering Aquarius Will Shape the Next Two Decades

Hold onto your hats, because the cosmos just handed us a front-row ticket to the most exhilarating and unsettling ride of the century. Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, and those deep, dark truths we’d rather shove under the rug, is strutting into Aquarius, the sign of innovation, rebellion, and humanity’s collective future. This isn’t just a cosmic shuffle. It’s a full-blown revolution that will flip the script on every corner of life as we know it. We’re talking society, technology, relationships, and yes, your personal universe. This not your average astrological transit.

Pluto doesn’t mess around. This is the planet of the phoenix, meaning if something isn’t working, it’s about to burn down to ashes. But don’t panic. Aquarius isn’t here to destroy for the sake of destruction. This air sign is the visionary genius, the tech whiz, the humanitarian. Together, they’re rewriting the rules of the game. Think of it like a power wash for your life and our world, a little messy at first, but ultimately freeing. For the next 19 years, expect seismic shifts in how we connect as a species. Aquarius rules technology and social systems, so the digital landscape will explode with changes. In terms of astrology predictions, AI won’t just be a cool tool; it’s going to reshape the job market, education, and even how we understand what it means to be human. If you’ve been clinging to outdated ways of working or communicating, Pluto is here to snap you out of it. The advice? Embrace the new. Learn, adapt, grow. That app you’re too stubborn to download could end up being the key to your next career move.

Power structures are about to collapse. Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t tolerate inequality, corruption, or anything that reeks of the old guard clinging to control. Governments, corporations, and even social hierarchies are in for a rude awakening. On a personal level, ask yourself where you’ve been giving your power away. Is it to a boss who doesn’t value you? A partner who keeps you small? A habit that numbs your potential? Pluto is here to tear those chains apart. But it’s on you to step into the freedom that follows. Of course, there’s a shadow side. Aquarius can be cold, detached, even ruthless in its pursuit of the greater good. Be wary of losing yourself in groupthink or tech dependency. Just because the world is speeding up doesn’t mean you have to lose touch with your own humanity. Make time for real conversations, face-to-face connections, and grounding rituals. This isn’t just a suggestion.

It’s a survival tool for navigating the chaos.

And let’s talk relationships. Traditional bonds might feel stifling under this influence. Aquarius loves independence and freedom, so if you’re in a situation that feels too confining, it’s time to shake things up. This doesn’t mean running for the hills every time someone asks for commitment. But it does mean being honest about what you need to thrive. Maybe that’s more space, or maybe it’s a complete reimagining of what love looks like for you. Just know this: Pluto doesn’t do surface-level. Any connection that’s shallow, fake, or rooted in outdated ideals is going to crumble. And that’s a good thing. This is also a time to dream big, no, bigger. Aquarius is the sign of invention and radical ideas. If you’ve been sitting on a creative project, a business idea, or a vision for your future, Pluto is giving you a cosmic green light. But there’s a catch. You can’t just dream it; you have to build it. Aquarius is innovative, yes, but it’s also fiercely logical. It’s about using your genius to create something real. So, roll up your sleeves. Get to work. You have a 19-year runway to make something extraordinary.

But remember, transformation isn’t a one-and-done event. Pluto moves slowly, digging deep into the cracks we don’t want to see. There will be moments when it feels too intense, too overwhelming. That’s when you lean into the Aquarian gift of vision. What kind of future do you want to build? What kind of person do you want to become? Keep your eyes on the horizon, even when the ground shakes beneath your feet. Pluto in Aquarius isn’t just a transit. It’s a call to action. It’s a demand to evolve. The world is changing, fast. And the question isn’t whether you’ll adapt. It’s whether you’ll rise to meet the opportunity. The universe believes you can. Now it’s your turn to believe it too.

Sending you all my love and blessings,

Ash (@AstroA3h via Instagram & TikTok)

AHHH THANKS FOR THIS REQUEST!!! i love it very much🤭

i hope you like the kind of animals i gave them hahah (i’m sorry it’s so short)

(masterlist)

REQUESTS/ASKS OPEN!!!

simon “ghost” riley

“come on boy,” simon urged and patted the spot beside him on the couch. “c’mere.” riley raised his head and looked at his owner. he tilted his head and blinked.

“d’nt look a’me that way,” simon laughed and shook his head. “c’mere boy.” he patted the spot on the couch again and this time the shepherd dog complied and raised to his feet.

he jumped onto the couch and set his head on simon’s lap. “atta boy,” the man mumbled and started crawling him behind his ears. “you as lazy as i’m, huh?” simon smirked as he fumbled with the tv remote to put the game on.

once the tv was on and the game running simon laid his head back and sighed. this morning he woke up—petless—and now he had a furball on his couch, more precisely, half on his lap and life couldn’t be better.

he wasn’t alone anymore, he had company���one who didn’t annoy the shit outta him like johnny—and he had someone to talk to, even if riley wasn’t human. it definitely felt better to talk to a dog than to a wall.

johnny “soap” mactavish

“y’pissin’ with me ri’now johnny, aren’t ya?” simon blinked, staring at the animal in front of him.

“absolutely not, me frend,” soap grinned, proudly standing beside his parrot. “meet ghoapie. he’s me parrot.”

simon massaged his temple a took a deep breath. “a parrot? with the name ghoapie?” the brit stared at his best friend, not knowing what the hell to think right now. he knew johnny was…weird but not this weird.

“yea.” pride was clear in soap’s voice and his grin stayed on his face even tho simon looked like he wanted to jump through a window and get himself killed.

“imma kill y’johnny. i’m actually gon’ kill ya.”

soap faked a hurt look and grabbed his chest in a dramatic manner. “why’d ye do that?”

simon’s eyes widen and he pointed at the bird. “because ya got yourself a fuckin’ parrot! how d’ya think this gon’ work out?”

soap frowned and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “ye have a dog. why can’t i have a parrot?”

simon opened his mouth to answer but then the parrot interrupted. “ye why,” he croaked, gaining an annoyed look from simon.

kyle “gaz” garrick

“oh won’t you look at yourself,” gaz cooed as he crawled the little kittens chin, keeping her close to his chest. “oh you’re just the cutest.”

gaz sat down on his couch and carefully sat the kitten down beside him. then he looked at him. “well, what am i gonna name you, huh?”

he started crawling the kitten again, smiling when it started to purr. it looked up at gaz, its eyes fixated on the dog tags around his neck.

then, with a leap it jumped upon his chest and its claws started to toy with said dog tags around gaz’s neck. he laughed and gently grabbed it to pull it away. “i know they‘re called dog tags but they‘re not real dogs, y‘know?“ he looked at the little kitten and tilted his head. “maybe that‘s what i should call ya. you wanna be called tags?“

the name sounded stupid, it really did but it also had a certain ring to it, gaz thought. but the kitten started reaching out for his dog tags again and another laugh escaped him. “that‘s a final thing then! welcome home tags!“ gaz set tags down and reached for the real dog tags around his neck.

the kitten started reaching for it again and jumped around when gaz started to play with the tags. he held them in his hand, swinging them around in the air until the little kitten was able to catch them.

captain john price

“finished,“ the captain mumbled as he took a step back. the aquarium was all set up and now only the inhabitant was missing. he turned around and grabbed the small box which stood on his desk. “time to give ya a new home little fella.“ he opened the box and carefully lowered it into the aquarium to set the fish inside free.

then suddenly his door busted open and soap stalked in. „ye know i thought ghost was pissin‘ with me when he told me ye got a goldfish—“ his eyes feel onto the aquarium. “—but i guess he was right…“

“hello to you too soap,“ price grumbled and pulled his hand back. he wiped it dry on his shirt and set the box down on his desk again. “and yes, i did get a goldfish.“

soap blinked at his captain, then at the goldfish happily swimming around in his new home. “i always thought ye was a dog person. a goldfish is…a weird choice.“

price huffed, “says the one who got a parrot.“ soap wanted to shoot something back but then simon walked in and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

“i told ya i was right. y‘know my ears may not be t‘best anymore but my eyes work j‘st fine.“ there was a hint of offence in his voice as he looked at soap, raising one eyebrow.

soap rolled his eyes and mumbled, “ye were right.“

simon grinned under his mask, “thanks.“

Cyberchase- Why is The Hacker Such an Ass?

So, I was on TV Tropes awhile back. I was specifically on the Wild Mass Guessing (WMG) page for Cyberchase. The WMG page is a place for people to put their head-canons and wild ideas and explain why they have those ideas.

One head-canon that struck me as a bit odd was the idea that The Hacker is infected by some sort of virus that led to him becoming a villain. The idea is that he is not entirely in control of his actions, and that much of his current personality is just the virus talking. I'm sure people have already tapped into this idea for its fan-fiction potential.

At first, I sort of laughed off the idea and moved on. However, when I thought back over the various episodes of the show, I realized that the show did poke at the idea a few times, whether it was intentional or not.

I want to talk about two cases where the show poked at the idea. However, I want to make a few things clear first. First, I don't think this theory will ever be confirmed in the show. The show-runners love him just the way is. They love how pompous and preening he is.

They love him endangering our child protagonists.

They love setting him up for the Cybersquad to foil his plans in the end.

They love embarrassing him and poking holes in his image.

While the original story of The Hacker was that he was just born evil per "How It all Started"...

... they have since expanded his backstory to include a period of faithful service to Motherboard...

...followed by a turn to villainy later on, perhaps when he realized what the Transformatron could do.

Even when he went through his inevitable villain decay due to being defeated by children so many times, they fit it into the universe. The Hacker's current arc is that no one is Cyberspace is scared of him anymore, so he's trying to restore his image.

So, no, I don't think we're going to have the revelation that The Hacker is really a good person who is forced to be evil via a sentient virus, a magic spell, or hard drive damage.

If they were to go that route, they would have a problem. They would probably have to permanently reform The Hacker. And if he permanently cures Motherboard's virus, then the show ends.

Even if they decided to reform him, but left him unable to cure Motherboard's cirus, they would lose their OG villain. Yes, Ledge and Zusk exist, but they barely exist at this point, especially Ledge, who Motherboard probably deleted off-screen after what he did to the kids and Digit vanished a few seasons ago. They can't fill his shoes. Even Wicked, who's been the main villain in a few episodes, probably wouldn't be able to come up with a new, interesting, magic spell for every episode going forward.

And if they tried to confirm this theory without reforming Hacker, then the whole dynamic of the show changes. The kids wouldn't be cyber-chasing after a power-hungry cyborg who wants to control Cyberspace. They would be trying to heal a brain-damaged cyborg who once served and protected Motherboard.

Now, let's get to the two times where I think the show poked at the idea that The Hacker became a villain against his will and need to be healed.

The first case was in Season 3 Episode 6 "The Grapes of Plath". The main plot here is that the Crab Prince was dared to go into the forbidden abyss and came out with a glitch.

He has been transformed into a compulsive liar. This would apparently up-end society in Aquari-yum worse than when Icky, the last Cyberslug, dies, and he can no longer feed on the energy that threatens to boil over the site.

So, now, the kids need to go to the Fountain of Truth and retrieve the Grapes of Plath, which will cure him.

Meanwhile, the Hacker has a problem. His chin is all floppy. It just isn't as firm and rigid as it was when he was a younger borg, and now he is self-conscious about it.

He accidentally intercepts a transmission from Motherboard. While it's a bit garbled, he hears her mention a "fountain of *unintelligible* uth". Of course, we know that it is the Fountain of Truth, but he believes it to be the Fountain of Youth. He wants to use the grapes to restore his chin.

Now, we don't know much about the Grapes of Plath. We know that they come from the Fountain of Truth, and we know that, when the Crab Prince was dipped head to toe in them, they removed the glitch that turned him into a compulsive liar.

Were these grapes specifically engineered to fix glitches that involve compulsive lying? That's a very niche use case. I can't imagine Plath gets many visitors. We don't see any evidence that they force the subject to always tell the truth like the spell from the Jim Carrey movie "Liar Liar". Are these Grapes all about restoring someone to their true self by removing a glitch? I like that explanation best.

Still, despite the kid's warnings that these grapes are from the Fountain of Truth, not the Fountain of Youth, The Hacker jumps in and covers himself from head to toe.

And he comes out of the juice a completely different Borg.

The Hacker: Happy Birthday, Princey. Say hello to your new best friend, the meanest guy in Cyberspace. When it's my birthday I want a cute little pony, no, a lollipop.

He is promptly removed. At this point, he seemingly goes back to normal, and is no longer covered in grapes.

Hacker: Follow me, ya duncebuckets!

Hold up, what the fuck just happened? We go back to the status quo almost immediately, as this is a status quo show, but the Grapes of Plath affected The Hacker. Why would they do that? This isn't like The Hacker hitting his head in Season 2 Episode 10 "Raising the Bar", and then, afterwards, he thought that Buzz was the boss, and that he was the henchman. This is more like mixing a cure for magnetite poisoning, and then discovering that the cure didn't fully work because the damage was more severe than expected.

No one ever said the Grapes of Plath make someone friendlier. No one ever said they make you want things like lollipops and ponies. We know for sure that they were able to cure the glitch that made the Crab Prince a compulsive liar. We know for sure that they have some association with truth, as they come from the Fountain of Truth. We know that The Hacker started wishing the Crab Prince Happy Birthday and asking for lollipops and ponies after his exposure. We can theorize that their ability to heal someone from a glitch could come from an innate ability to help restore someone to their true self.

We know very little about what The Hacker's personality was like before he turned to villainy. Even his expanded backstory is mostly just the villainy he did before the Cybersquad was recruited.

his plans for the Transformation (and Coop's attempt to stop him)

his poisoning of Coop (and what that did to Slider)

his theft of the Encryptor Chip (and his banishment)

his tricking of the Flying Parallinis into rescuing him from Mount Way-Up-There (and the impact that mistake had on them)

his attack on Valussa (and Digit's defection)

his action of infecting Motherboard with a virus (and the start of the series)

Maybe The Hacker enjoyed ponies and lollipops back in the day. Maybe we saw the real Hacker for a few seconds there before the virus/spell/brain damage overwhelmed the healing power of the Grapes of Plath. I wonder.

Let's move on to the second time the show implied something was wrong. However, in order to talk about that, I have to lay out two assumptions.

First, let's assume that Motherboard has a strong moral framework that leads her to always do the right thing, in spite of any personal biases. She does not seek easy ways out which would compromise her moral framework. This is what the show has been telling us for years.

I think the best example of this is probably one of the very best episodes of the show, Season 2 Episode 4 "True Colors". The Hacker calls an election for potentate and sets himself up to run against Motherboard, which is perfectly legal under the Cyber-constitution. Whether Motherboard truly believed The Hacker had reformed or not is unclear. However, it doesn't really matter. If he had won the election, she would have stepped down and followed the will of the people.

We learn that, if The Hacker wins, he will revise the Cyber-constitution to bring an end to the elections and make his rule permanent. The way he says it suggests that, as potentate, he would be able to revise the Cyber-constitution all by himself without any checks or balances.

Now, there's a whole can of worms here about a singular ruler being able to rewrite all of the laws unchecked, but I'm leaving that closed for now. However, this does mean that Motherboard could have rewritten the Cyber-constitution herself to shut down the Hacker's election plan right there. She didn't do it.

Second, let's assume that Motherboard was fully on board with the plan that Digit and the kids were executing during the episode that I am about to talk about. There are some things in this episode that suggest that the kids may have been running wild here, and that Motherboard was unaware of what was happening right until close to the end. I do plan to talk about that on another post. For now, we assume that Motherboard was on board the whole way.

Let's review:

Motherboard has a strong moral framework that leads her to always do the right thing, in spite of any personal biases. She does not seek easy ways out which would compromise her moral framework.

Motherboard was fully on board with the plan that Digit and the kids were executing during the episode that I am about to talk about.

Do you have all of that? Good. Let's talk about Season 5 Episode 8 "Inside Hacker".

So, Digit gives us the premise up front.

Digit: Reprogramming Hacker so he changes back into his good old self. Our best plan yet!

So, I think we all see the ethical implications of attempting to rewrite someone's personality against their will. Of course, that's with our world's understanding of the importance of "the self" and free will.

But hey, maybe Cyberspace has a different idea of the "self" that we would consider dystopian. Maybe borgs reprogram each other all the time without consent. Maybe the "self" is fluid here. What else does the show have to say about the concept of reprogramming someone? Wasn't there an episode where Digit was considering allowing himself to be reprogrammed to be less clumsy? Yeah, it was Season 6 Episode 1 "Digit's B-Day Surprise".

Uh oh. There are consent forms for reprogramming someone, and I don't remember The Hacker signing anything. Does anyone remember who was trying to get Digit to provide consent to be reprogrammed in this episode?

Wait, so this is a line that even The Hacker won't cross? Well, the Cybersquad's plan just sounds wicked in a bad way.

That has a double-meaning, as Wicked has repeatedly engaged in reprogramming borgs against their will. We saw this in Season 2 Episode 3 "Harriet the Hippo and the Mean Green" and Season 7 Episode 7 "Spellbound". I'm not even going to touch what happened with "Designing Mr. Perfect".

So, yeah, reprogramming someone against their will is definitely a villainous act in Cyberspace. The kids may be naive on this point, but Motherboard isn't. Even the virus doesn't eliminate her moral code, as we've seen in the other episodes. So, how we do we resolve this? Well, sometimes kids cartoons make a mess of the discussion of free will. They will claim that a "good" character being brainwashed by the "bad guys" and turned "evil" is absolutely horrible, which is an excellent point to make.

However, that same show will then claim that an "evil" character being brainwashed by the "good guys" and turned "good" is absolutely fine. As long as the character isn't evil anymore, the show calls it a win. The most famous example of this is probably the "Care Bear Stare" from the Care Bears cartoons. That was just a brainwashing attack they used on their enemies.

Cyberchase has pretty simple morality. Motherboard is the ultimate good, while The Hacker is the ultimate evil. However, we are at least a little bit above The Care Bears here. The kids are required to abide by the laws of the different Cybersites that they take action in. They aren't given easy outs like shooting The Hacker until he stops being a villain. That sounds more like a gritty reboot of Cyberchase.

So, let's add one more assumption to the board for "Inside Hacker":

Motherboard has a strong moral framework that leads her to always do the right thing, in spite of any personal biases. She does not seek easy ways out which would compromise her moral framework.

Motherboard was fully on board with the plan that Digit and the kids were executing during the episode that I am about to talk about.

Cyberchase is not The Care Bears.

So, how do we resolve the issue? Well, suppose that The Hacker started out as a good guy, who worked as a technician for Motherboard. He wanted to help make Cyberspace a great place, and all he wanted in return was to go home to his pony and lollipop at the end of the day. But then, one way or another, his personality was altered against his will, and he became obsessed with taking over Cyberspace. He became the villain he is today.

Then, perhaps the action of reprogramming him back to his original self without consent can be justified. After all, the original Hacker is not able to provide his consent. In that case, maybe it falls to Motherboard and Dr. Marbles to become his medical proxy.

Again, I don't think we'll ever see the show confirm this theory. It would just make too much of a mess if we haven't been with the real Hacker for the past 20 years. I do wonder if the implications of these two scenes were put in by the writers intentionally though.

There are other ways to look at this, of course, so let's pull our combined board here.

The Hacker acted strangely after being covered in the Grapes of Plath from the Fountain or Truth. These grapes are known to have repaired the glitch that turned the Crab Prince into a compulsive liar. The Hacker talked about celebrating the Crab Prince's birthday and wanting a pony and a lollipop for his birthday. He was back to normal shortly afterward.

The kids and Digit went forward with a plan to forcibly reprogram The Hacker against his will to turn him from a villain back into his original good self.

2a. We know that reprogramming someone against their will is a villainous act in Cyberspace. Wicked has done it numerous times. When The Hacker wanted to reprogram Digit, he would not proceed without getting his signature on the consent forms, which implies that reprogramming Digit without his consent is a line that The Hacker won't cross.

2b. We assumed that Motherboard has a strong moral framework that leads her to always do the right thing, in spite of any personal biases.

2c. We assumed that Motherboard knew what the kids were up to throughout the episode, rather than just finding out at the very end.

On #1: The incident with the Grapes of Plath could have been a fluke. We still know next to nothing about how the grapes work. It could be like magnetite, which affects all borgs differently. On #2b: Perhaps Motherboard slipped up here with regards to her moral code. Perhaps, in a moment of anger over her own suffering with the virus, she put the kids on their mission to end the threat of The Hacker via forced reprogramming. If so, this is a pretty big black mark on her record.

On #2c: Some of the dialogue in "Inside Hacker" suggests that the kids and Digit came up with the plan. We don't actually see Motherboard's face until the very end. Perhaps she didn't realize what was really going on until that point. And at that point, the important thing was rescuing Matt, not scolding the children.

Hi, I've seen your requests are open and wondered if you could do a Haikyuu matchup, please??

I'm an entp 8w7 virgo sun pisces rising aquarious moon, in my 20s. I've got adhd and anxiety.

My hobbies include: writing, reading, painting, drawing, working out, dancing, knitting and I really love travelling. (Wish I'd have more time tho)

I'm interested in psychology, herbs, and I tend to talk a lot without noticing it bothers someone. I'm generally open minded and curious.

My emotional intelligence is almost nonexistent, though I'd like to do something about it. I just can't notice how people feel and it disturbs me.

My ideal match is someone who's very intelligent, booksmart or streetsmart...it doesn't matter; someone who's not too emotional because I'd get so confused and accidentally hurt them; also it's nice if they won't be weirded out by my adhd. I prefer an ambivert s/o.

My love language is words of affirmation or maybe quality time(?)

I guess that's it.

Thank you so much🥰

Hope you have a nice day/night.

🌞

Akaashi Keiji is your ideal match because you share a love of literature and he's impressed by your unending willingness to express yourself!

• It’s that curiosity that first draws him to you. The unique book in your hand, as well as your eagerness to devour the letters on the page. The next step was to ask if you'd be interested in discussing the finer points of your reading with him at some point. Perhaps over a cup of coffee? He offers his phone number to you rather than asking for yours because he does not want to put you under any pressure to say yes.

• Coffee becomes a second date at the botanical gardens. He listens to you in his methodical way, expanding on your topic of choice and deftly switching subjects when you do. When he notices that there are too many people crowding the garden, he takes you to a smaller area filled with the scent of herbs where you can breathe easier. It seems he remembered that little comment about your interests at your coffee date!

• “There are times when you should push yourself and times when you should take a break. You can choose whether we should leave or go back when you're ready.”

• When you’ve spent a lot of time in this relationship, he will eventually start anticipating your needs. He has already packed a cool beverage for a hot day in your lunch and written a sweet note expressing his pride in being your partner. He can't help but press a firm kiss onto your mouth every single time you've done well.

•  His sharp eyes have always had a way to discern stars, and you're the brightest he's ever seen.

alright so I went to a superbowl party today. jesus cHRIST. it was cray-zee. I had a lot of goddamn cheetos though. I think I have a lifetime supply now because I stuffed my backpack full of them before I left. but there was a free pinball machine right??? and I'm a pinball wizard I'm actually the person that made The Who write the song Pinball Wizard because of how amazing I am. but I'd leave it and come back to get cheetos and while waiting for a guy to move so I could go this old man who was in front of my just turned around and went "do you work here?" so like. i did not know what to say to that. because yes, technically, I did. but. I wasn't working at that moment. so I just went "yeah kinda" and he theN TOLD ME HE AND HIS BROTHER WERE THE INVENTORS ON DONKEY KONG????? AND LIKE. THEN TOLD ME ABOUT STOCKS AND INVESTING FOR COLLEGE??? AND THAT IF I HAD ANY STOCKS RIGHT NOW INVEST MORE BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS GONNA GO UP???? then he just went "my brother and I went to harvard. you know what his job is? easiest thing in the world." and immediately I was like "well these guys own donkey kong he must count the quarters they make" because I'm a DUMBASS and so that's what I said and he went. "no. he plays golf." and so I was like "oh hahah yeah that sounds pretty nice and easy" because I was enjoying the conversation but I am an awkward bitch yknow? so he just stood there with me for five minutes talking about that. stalks. golf. harvard. how he made a thousand dollars in quarters the first time he released donkey kong. and I've mentioned before but I have a tendency to look at peoples mouths while they talk like some flirtacious freak but its just because most of the time I'm listening and I like to watch people's mouths while they talk its interesting (its okay I know I'm a sociopath) but I didn't do that???? I had INTENSE. UNBROKEN. EYE CONTACT WITH THIS BLUE EYED OLD MAN WHILE HE TOLD ME ABOUT DONKEY KONG. I never even got his name. he never got mine. he took a sip of his Starry (the new sierra mist) and went "well. see ya around" and left. I literally walked out two seconds after him and he was GONE. also there was an artistic venue house I checked out that had monkees albums in it it was pisces aquarious Capricorn and jones ltd. the monkees present. the monkees changes. the monkees and more of the monkees. yes I wasn't allowed to take pictures in the art venue. yes I took picture of the albums. anyways that was how I spent the superbowl

(ALSO PAUL MCCARTNEY WAS AT THE SUPERBOWL WATCHING IT I SCREAMED)

pinball wizard defeated by human interaction, sad 🪦😔. but for real that sounds like a bit of a nightmare dude 😂. i hate when i end up stuck in conversations where old dude are just talking about how smart and great they are (even if they did actual cool shit, it’s the level of self congratulating that gets me). thank god for cheetos, monkees albums, and paul mccartney though!!!!

[danpuff-ao3]

Saw you mention Scoprio x Taurus in the Chaco reply, can you talk a bit more about this combo? Some sites say it's the best combo for both, some say the worst. One of my biggest OTPs ever is Scorpio (male) x Taurus (male), so I'm curious. Only if you want to, of course!

Hello! Yeah, sure.

I: The Details

(This part might be a bit too much to follow, so you're fine to skip to the third section if you wanna jump into the simpler explanation. This is more of an introduction into the parts that make up what they are, and who they are together.)

It's a super fascinating topic because you'll get pretty mixed results looking into "compatibility" for any of the opposition pairs.

Every sign has its opposite, and every opposition pair will be "fire - air" or "earth - water." Generally, those are good combinations. Generally, "fire - air" or "earth - water" pairs will be sextiles. Sextiles equal harmony; enough similarities to relate, but enough differences to spice things up. (When I say this, though, I'm not speaking of a proper or exact aspect, but "sign-based" aspects.)

So while say Taurus will be sextile, and thus harmonious, with Cancer and Pisces, it is opposition Scorpio. It can be an intense connection.

While I caution you not confuse the general idea of signs being "sextile" (when a sextile aspect actually means two planets being sixty degrees apart), I also caution you to take this next connection with a grain of salt, and not confuse associations with being the gospel truth.

Taurus has an association with the Second House (of personal finances and possessions) and Scorpio has an association with the Eighth House (shared resources and inheritances.) So those are sort of opposing ideas, the connection to what is "mine" versus what is "shared."

They also share a modality. All of the opposition pairs share a modality. The fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Leo - Aquarius are the fire - air fixed pair. Taurus - Scorpio are the earth - water fixed pair.

II: Opposition

For a better idea of how this plays out, let's take a brief look at Leo - Aquarius. Leo's focus tends to be self-centered (this is not a dig at Leo; Leo is all confidence and independence and self-respect) whereas Aquarius is very outward-focused. Leo is King, Aquarius the Humanitarian. Leo is self-love, Aquarius is charity. Neither is good or bad, but different areas of focus that can clash. But the energetic warmth of Leo's fire flows well with the other two air signs, Libra and Gemini. Air is of the mind; sociability and knowledge. Gemini is easygoing and fun; Libra is harmony and balance. Those are easier connections for Leo to maintain versus Aquarius which is too different from its own focus, but also too similar.

A common belief in modern astrology is that nothing is good or bad; everything is capable of both. Trines, often thought to be "beneficial" aspects, can be accused of leading to "stagnation" and "boredom" because planets in trine are too similar, and get along too well.

Since Leo and Aquarius, and Taurus and Scorpio, all share a modality, there is a sense of that sameness here. Fixed signs are stubborn. They are solid, driven, and they stay the course. And with fixed signs being stubborn, they are going to butt heads.

(Side note, if you ever see one of those rank posts "listing all signs most to least stubborn. If the top 4 are not fixed signs, they are LIARS.) ("Virgo is the most stubborn" MY ASS.) (Virgo is mutable, what are you even talking about?? Mutable signs are changeable by nature what part of that sounds stubborn to you???) (If you put the other 2 earth signs as Number 5 and 6 I'll accept it but if it's in the Top 4 it's wrong.)

(You probably shouldn't pay mind to those rank lists anyway because they're almost always bullshit, but that one specifically gets my hackles up haha. Okay thank you for coming to my TED Talk, let's return to our regularly scheduled prattling.)

So for me, there is some level, some energy of Leo and Aquarius that jives because of the "fire - air" connection, but something about that "fixed" nature causes them to clash a bit. It's the idea of there being too much there to not be big feelings.

But you asked about Taurus and Scorpio, of course. And it's the same idea. That earth - water energy is good, but oh no they're both fixed. The best way of framing these "complementary" energies is to think of "air feeds fire" and "water nourishes earth." It's energy that works well together and benefits each other. The opposition pairs have a line of tension in them. It provides a challenge, but it isn't a death knoll, either.

III: The Answer

Taurus and Scorpio share their stubbornness. They are both driven, and passionate, and loyal. They are determined and steady and reliable.

Scorpio is the fixed water sign. Water is tied to emotion. Water signs tend to be mysterious, intuitive, curious, etc. Scorpio also has a connection to death, changes. There is a dark intensity to Scorpio; a fascination with the taboo. Scorpio can be possessive, they can hold grudges. They are detectives. They see too much, and they want to know too much. They are fascinated by human nature, and connecting to the deeper parts of humanity.

Taurus is the fixed earth sign. Earth is tied to the physical. This means material goods, security, but also the body and sensual experiences. Taurus works hard and enjoys luxury. They can be accused of being lazy, but really that's in their downtime. They want to enjoy life, and enjoy the fruits of their labor; is that so bad? Taurus is also ruled by Venus, meaning an appreciation for finery, romance, and creativity. They like what they like. They might get into ruts (linked to that stubbornness, I think.) Taurus digs in its heels. Taurus sees red. The bull, remember?

Possessiveness isn't likely to scare off a Taurus. They're loyal, and romantic, remember? They also care about possessions. If the Taurean doesn't lean too stingy, which might grate on the Scorpio's need to share, that knocks down one wall. Or, you have a Scorpio who likes sharing themselves, but isn't so judgmental about others not giving back. Those potential problems won't exist between every Taurus and Scorpio, even forgetting every other planet in the chart.

And if Taurus and Scorpio are both stubborn, they won't necessarily have conflict that will pit their stubbornness against each other. My partner and I are Taurus and Scorpio, and we rarely if ever have conflict at all. This works especially well with pairs who share goals, who can throw all of their drive and persistence at the same target.

There is also quite a sexual nature to both signs. Scorpio intensity, its connection to the Eighth House (also the House of taboos, sex, transformation, change, birth, etc.) Taurus' connection to Venus (love, pleasure) and its natural sensuality (earth.) Shared passion and possessiveness. Taurus loves luxury and sensuality and pleasure; Scorpio is intense and focused on connection and sharing. And that potential to clash and fight also means a potential for sparks and fire.

On the other end, Scorpio's need to sniff out the truth, to look for hidden meaning and darker truths, might rub Taurus raw, when Taurus would rather feel good and be at peace. Venus is more than romance, after all, but balance and harmony. And Scorpio might sniff at Taurus and presume a lack of depth due to their desire to chill and be at ease.

There is also the reality of both are willing to get down into the dirt and work with their hands. They're willing to go the mile. Maybe their goals take them down different paths. Maybe they're exhausted from all they've given already, and their nerves are rubbed raw and they take it out on each other.

The truth is, there is no easy answer. Not for Taurus and Scorpio. Not even for Taurus and Cancer, or Scorpio and Virgo. Not for any combination. Even stripping all other considerations away, each sign has energy that can go any which way. What does stubborn mean? Stubborn about what? What does peace mean? Peace within the self, or peace all around? Peace as compromise, as settling, or peace as a goal to be fought for? What do "shared resources" mean? The giving from the self, or expectation to receive in turn? What does passion mean? Is it a soft warm flame or a blazing wildfire?

But then...you do have to take the rest of the chart into account. Take my partner and myself for example. How does my Leo moon color my Taurus sun? How does his Capricorn moon color his Scorpio sun? What about our shared Leo rising? What does it change that his sun is in the fourth house, and mine is in the ninth? What does it mean that his Sagittarius Venus trines my Aries Mars?

There is no simple answer to anything I'm afraid. Even looking at it as simply as possible.

...I hope at least some of that made sense. 10 points to anyone who made it to the end 😂

It's a lot of fun you get back to the camper and you have the lights on dim and you have to get fresh air and we'd have a little music and we'd be talking i'd be having some wine and I'd have to have some sleep and we'd do wake up and we'd have a good time he says it's things to do there we can play like tennis. Ha ha ha LOL and there's other things games that we can go to the tourist stuff while we're driving we don't have to rush I think that's a good time we used to do it all the time with these people were boring. They were he couldn't talk to them they just sit there and stare it was awful. Even Stan is just sitting there staring because this lady is an idiotjen m oh good i change my name to Equiz and age of Aquarious is what it means patly mostly ok

[bunnitenshi]

Hii I hope that you're well and thanks for this

Just want to know what do you think of my 3 placements

Sun in ♓,moon in ♊, rising in ♉

I have also mercury in aquarious and venus in aries and stellium in aqua

No prob! : )

Pisces is associated with seeing life through rose colored glasses and being gullible. But you can also be very sweet. And it rules dreams and sleep!

For your moon sign, geminis are very talkative and social. I LOVE geminis!! I also like the Taurus placement 💓 Taurus is kind and stable. You might be drawn to art or beauty related aesthetics.

Also aquas are the oddball or outcast of the zodiac! Especially in a stellium. Maybe you had a hard time fitting in your k-12 education, since Mercury rules k-12.

Aries is impulsive and a go-getter, but also athletic. Maybe you like very fit and confident people as your partners ❤️‍🔥 since it’s in your Venus.
