#Encouraging Creative Problem-Solving

[slasheru]

ok ok so HERE'S WHY I'm so adamant against putting a quest log / quest markers in Slasher U.

Basically, Skyrim destroyed my brain in college. BY THIS I MEAN, when Skyrim came out, it had a SUPER robust quest log system, quest markers on the minimap, map, AND the compass line that's literally on-screen at all times, which means all you need to do is align yourself with a marker point, point your character at it, and just start walking. This is initially extremely cool because, hey! Look! All those markers for quests, easily laid out, for you to follow on the map! No thinking required!

Except for, combined with all the radiant quests, and the sheer AMOUNT of fucking markers, I was doing something I had never done in games before: I STOPPED READING THE QUEST TEXT. I'm the guy who used to read every piece of quest text in fucking WORLD OF WARCRAFT. I was just pointing my guy at thing, going to thing, talking to thing, getting thing, lather rinse repeat. And, like, don't get me wrong, I was having FUN. Except I realized, like, halfway through the game, I didn't remember a single NPC's name OR what the fucking main plot of the game even was. It's not the civil war storyline apparently? This was news to Teen Me, lol.

Anyway I didn't think much of it until I went back and tried to play Fallout New Vegas, and realized I had to. actually. READ QUEST TEXT. AGAIN. And that not EVERY SINGLE OPTION was laid out easily for you to select from a menu. And the game wasn't gonna tell me where jack shit was. Worst of all, I just ASSUMED that you *couldn't do stuff or couldn't do certain roleplaying choices because the game didn't let you*, but in fact, the game DID. It just didn't tell you you COULD. Because Obsidian kinda wanted you to use your noodle and discover things slowly. And guess what? That shit forced me to ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT THE STORY AND COME UP WITH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS ON MY OWN, which I then tried in the F:NV universe, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the game accounted for them!

So yeah. Next time you wonder why I didn't put "unlock all 3 non sexy minigames!" in SU:Act 1 it's because of todd howard

The pair may also spend a lot of time talking about their personal projects, physical appearances, and identities. There’s a natural resonance and understanding between the two.

Mercury in partner’s 2nd house

If the mercury individual’s mercury adversely aspects the house person’s planets, the pair may even disagree about finances, values, and material resources. Nevertheless, this is a good overlay to have when it comes to acquiring material resources & it works well business partnerships.

Mercury in partner’s 3rd house

This is a wonderful overlay to have, as mercury is at home in the 3rd house. The conversations between the pair are likely to be lively, thought-provoking, & intellectually stimulating. There is also likely to be a playful banter between the two.

Mars in Houses of Groom Persona Chart

[Mars in a groom's persona chart represents his energy, drive, passion, and assertiveness. It tells how he pursues a goal, handles a fight, and expresses his physical desires. In the context of a marriage, Mars lights up a person's approach towards intimacy, protective instincts, and leading the relationship.

Mars's house placement in the chart of the groom shows where the energy goes and what in life ignites the flame, thereby directly influencing the dynamics between him and his spouse.]

(PS: For Entertainment Purpose Only. Have Fun💚)

1st House

The groom is dynamic, confident, and action-oriented. He approaches marriage with all the enthusiasm and drive of his star sign, often adopting a leading role. A partner will look up to his boldness, yet his assertiveness may come across as dominance or impatience at times. The challenge is something he revels in, and his spouse needs to have the same zest for life. Proud, protective, and passionate, his fire may sometimes get him into conflict. He will balance it with a relationship that gives lots of importance to open communications and mutual respect. This placement indeed suggests a physically very active groom who loves to undertake adventurous pursuits with his partner.

2nd House

Mars here indicates that the groom invests energy in financial security and material possessions. He is driven to achieve stability for the family and works to acquire wealth. He shows his love in relationships through acts of providing and giving material support. He might become possessive or too materialistic, which may lead to tension. The partner should encourage him to balance his ambitions with emotional connecting. This placement promises a marriage that is based on shared goals, especially financial goals. Together, they can build a solid foundation for their future.

3rd House

The groom is quick-witted and a lively communicator. He wants a marriage with intellectual stimulation where he and his partner frequently engage in debates and discussions. With his dynamic mind and strong way of communicating, he is an exciting companion to converse with. In addition, his directness may hurt his partner's feelings at times. His ideal spouse would be someone who enjoys his wit and is able to match his intellectual energy. This placement also suggests that he may excel in solving problems or taking decisive action in family matters. His relationship thrives when both partners are open to learning and growing together.

4th House

This placement indicates a groom who is deeply protective of his family and home. He channels his energy into creating a secure and comfortable domestic environment. While he is passionate about his role as a husband and father, his intensity might sometimes lead to controlling behavior at home. His partner should help him channel his energy into constructive activities, such as home improvement or family projects. This placement suggests that his family life will undergo transformations, often driven by his determination to overcome challenges. For him, marriage is a partnership, based on shared values and emotional security.

5th House

Mars in the 5th house indicates a groom who is passionate, romantic, and highly demonstrative of his affection in a very grand style. He lives for excitement and looks for a partner to share this zest for life and creativity. His marriage will be an adventure-packed, spontaneous, and somewhat dramatic institution. While this too makes him passionate, it perhaps could also make him sometimes impatient or impulsive at the same time. An ideal spouse would be encouraging his creativity and supporting self-expression. Together, with so much joy and shared interest in life, they'd find their relationship a blessing to live.

6th House

The groom works assiduously, enforces discipline, and does pay much attention to self-perfection. He gets into marriage out of a feeling of responsibility and commitment in making it work through practical efforts. He wants an organized, smooth relationship with fairness on both sides. In such a case, perfection can lead to frustration or critical words. The spouse would need to remind him not to forget to lighten up and enjoy the emotional part of the marriage. This placement does bring a health-conscious groom who will encourage his partner in living a balanced life. Together, they can build a strong and efficient partnership.

7th House

Mars in the 7th house is indicative of a passionate and forceful groom in relationships. He would be attracted to a strong, independent partner who will challenge him to grow together. It will be an active marriage, where both partners are dynamically engaged in shaping their common goals. He is deeply committed but can also be assertive, which may cause him to engage in power games. His ideal spouse balances his energy with patience and understanding. This placement indicates a marriage that is truly equal in every respect, with each partner playing an important role in the development of a healthy and alive relationship.

8th House

This sign is deeply emotional and physically intense in his relationships. He is looking for someone of equal depth that would not be afraid to engage him on the deeper aspects of marriage. He does require trust and, importantly, some vulnerability, as he thrives on honesty and openness. His passion could also become overwhelming at times and maybe possessive; he would need a partner to express himself openly enough that no misunderstanding occurs. This placement may indeed often reveal a groom deeply intuitive and spiritually attuned with one's spouse. Together, they can build a transcendent and fulfilling relationship.

9th House

Mars here indicates the adventure-loving groom who needs a spouse sharing his love for adventure and learning. He appreciates intellectual and cultural growth in his marriage and shares discussion on philosophy or spirituality with his spouse. His ideal partner encourages his adventurous spirit and supports his quest for knowledge. While his enthusiasm is contagious, his impatience or restlessness might at times pose some challenges. This placement indicates that his marriage will involve travel, education, or spiritual growth, with both partners often drawing closer through shared experiences.

10th House

The groom is very ambitious and directs his energy toward professional success. He wants a partner who will support his career goals and share his vision for the future. To him, marriage is a partnership where both partners work toward mutual achievements. As much as he is a committed and goal-oriented spouse, his focus on work may at times create some distance in his personal life. His ideal partner is someone who helps him balance his professional ambitions with emotional intimacy. This placement often suggests that his marriage will influence his public image and contribute to his career success.

11th House

Mars in the 11th house is a groom passionate about social causes and community involvement. He values friendships and shared ideals in his marriage and seeks a partner who supports his vision for the future. While he thrives in collaborative relationships, his strong opinions might sometimes create conflicts. His wife should encourage positive talks and help him channel his dynamism into something meaningful and purposeful. This placing does indicate that the groom's marriage will influence their social circle and mutual purposes. Together, they do collaborative work for their people or inspire change.

12th House

The Groom is introspective in nature and channels his power into the inner world of energies. He looks for a partner who appreciates his depth and helps him navigate his emotions. For him, marriage is like a spiritual journey that tends to bring up the buried fears or desires to the surface. Though he is so empathetic and intuitive, sometimes he might struggle to show his feelings frankly. His ideal spouse would provide a safe space for vulnerability and encourage self-discovery. This placement does often reveal a karmic marriage connection, where the central lessons of forgiveness, trust, and transformation are at stake.

[sporesgalaxy]

Violence itself can't be the problem, says every antagonist in Anthology of the Killer. The violence has been with us all this time, for all of history, so we can never go without it. Therefore, the problems must be because we are using the wrong kind of violence, because we are applying it incorrectly. Violence has never solved things properly, but violence we must have, so there must be a perfect violence waiting for us just beyond the horizon, a new kind of violence that will make everything feel right, even if it doesn't make sense. We will take all of the resources and manpower and creativity and philosphy and marketing studies at our command and we will apply them all to the study of violence, because it WILL be violence that will make the world right. There is no other way. Economy 1 was founded on violence, economy 2 will be founded on violence. The victims of the violence aren't to be pitied or protected, they're to be congratulated and encouraged and consumed, because violence is necessary and so its victims are serving a purpose.

TIPS | BOOK A READING WITH ME | PATREON | LINKTREE | SUGGEST A PAC TOPIC

Pile 1

The River | Hanged Man, Nine of Swords

what you need to face:

Pile 1, the thing that you need to face is that you can't control everything. Some things are out of our control, for various reasons, and no matter how hard we try to change them it's simply not up to us. I do feel a responsibility here to talk about manifestation and similar practices (and I do like manifestation believe me) because they can enable unhealthy behaviors. There's certain things that you simply either need to face or let go. And like I said, I do like manifestation and I do believe in it, but sometimes for you to be able to manifest a certain thing you need to face your problem instead of living in delululand (and let me tell you guys that I've definitely been here before, until very recently).

I see that this situation is something that causes you a lot of pain and anxiety, maybe it has even kept you up at night trying to figure out how you can solve it. To you this seems like an unsurmountable situation, something that turned your life upside down and changed it completely. In a way, it even changed who you are. It's important that you also recognize the changes it has caused in you, the things you missed out on because of it. I feel like you're naturally a very anxious person and that you skipped some cool things because you felt anxious about this situation. All in all, the main thing that you need to face is that there are things that you can't control. Do your very best to go with the flow and you'll see that in the end everything will work out. There's an idiom in my country that says something like "there's no good thing that's everlasting, nor no bad thing that won't end".

how you can face it:

Knight of Cups, Nine of Swords

You're being encouraged to immerse yourself into vulnerability and acceptance. The best way to face this situation is to embrace it, to allow yourself to feel how shitty it is, how powerless you feel, how anxious it makes you, how scared. And then, you also need to accept and embrace the good things in it - because everything, no matter how good or bad, brings some good things into our lives. A practice like a gratitude journal or something similar could be very useful for you to help you recognize and appreciate the good things in your life.

An important aspect in your reading though is to try and stay away from dissociative practices (and these might include some manifestation practices) because you really do need to recognize and face this problem that you're going through. Believe me, pile 1, things will seem more manageable once you face it and then process your emotions. That's another thing, another important aspect of facing this thing is that you actually need to feel all of these uncomfortable things. Pain is a part of life, just like joy and pleasure, and all of them are vital for us to grow as people.

Pile 2

The Castle, The Creator | Ace of Cups, World, Page of Cups

what you need to face:

Pile 2, I feel like most of you are artists or content creators of some kind, because the energy here is of creative block and imposter syndrome. One of the things you need to face is that feeling blocked, feeling like you're not good enough is a part of the process - it's all part of the spiral of being a creator, a creative person. Your vision of the world is unique and so everything you make is going to be unique, it will never look like what someone else makes even if to your eyes it's not quite as good. Something else you need to face as a creator is that you will fail. Sometimes you won't have success, people won't like it, you won't like it; and that's fine.

If you're not an artist or a creator, I feel like there's something blocking you, making you feel stuck. With so many cup cards here, it could be that it's related to relationships or emotions. If this is the case you need to realize that you're the one putting up walls and keeping people at arm's length. If you feel as though you're struggling with your relationships with others (like they're not deep enough, for example) you need to face the possibility that you might also have some responsibility in it.

In a more general way, something else that you need to face is that you have a say in your life. There isn't some unwritten set of rules that dictate that you must live this way or that (because I feel like you stop yourself from doing a lot of things), you have free will. You need to face the fact that you have responsibility over your own life and that no one is coming to save you. Pile 2, you need to save yourself.

how you can face it:

Three of Swords, Three of Pentacles

One of the first things you need to do, in general, is understanding and accepting that pain is a part of life and it's going to be a constant. As an artist, for example, creating and growing is going to be painful at times. In your relationships there will also be moments of pain and disappointment, sometimes of utter and complete heart ache. It will be difficult to deal with, it might even seem unsurmountable at times, you will feel as though you're not strong enough or not good enough. But then, it will pass. Accepting that things are going to hurt at some point is fundamental to encourage you to just get out there and do things. Because that's the second step for you, pile 2, it's just get out there and do things. Fail beautifully and spectacularly, and then you'll see how you'll appreciate even your failures because you lived.

Your reading in this section is really simple and straightforward to be honest. Sometimes I try to dig deeper into the cards so that every pile is balanced in how much content it has, but the truth here is that you have those two steps and that's it. First step: recognize that it's going to hurt, second step: do it anyway. It sounds like one of those motivational phrases from the 2010's but it's the truth. Be brave, pile 2, you're going to accomplish some really amazing things.

Pile 3

The Riddle | Three of Wands, King of Swords

what you need to face:

Pile 3, the first thing I'm seeing is that you're someone who is always looking for answers. You're very curious and you don't leave a stone left unturned when you feel the need to know something. This can cause you some problems sometimes because you need straightforward answers to even the most complex of questions (for some of you this could even be about theological or existential questions) and those... those are very hard to answer. You need to face the fact that not everything will have an answer or a reason. Or sometimes it will have an answer but it won't satisfy you. For some of you, these questions you have are about someone's behavior or some conflict that happened with someone. The reality is that it might not be an answer and you need to make your peace with that.

The other thing I'm seeing is that you tend to be a little controlling which might lead to issues in some relationships. The other thing you need to face is that you can't control other people's behavior, but most importantly you also need to confront yourself a little and realize that you might not be right all the time. It's time for some more self-reflection.

how you can face it:

Two of Wands, Ten of Cups

For those of you that need to face your need to be in control in your relationships (maybe because you've been hurt in the past and need reassurance) the way to face this is self-reflection in a first stage, but afterwards you're called to have a more balanced relationship with other people. Give others the opportunity to make plans and invite you or to take the initiative. Give them credit and allow them their independence. I get the feeling that you tend to take over things (like taking care of tasks for other people, ordering for them, or similar behavior) to help them and make life easier for them, but they might not appreciate that happening all the time.

For the unendingly curious, you're being advised to continue to be curious and try to learn more, of course, but in a more controlled way. If you're prone to get lost for hours in a bout of research about a random topic, then you should start using alarms to pull you out of that "hyper fixation" for a moment at least. Be a little more measured and more moderate in your curiosity. When it comes to the people who are searching for an answer from someone else (maybe relating to a problem or an argument that happened) you need to make your peace with the fact that perhaps you'll never get that answer, but not only that, that maybe an answer wouldn't satisfy you. Sometimes people act without thinking; we're all still just animals despite everything.

In general, pile 3, you're being advised to be more open to accepting other people's perspectives and input, but also to rely more on them. You're being encouraged to create and nurture a true community.

Pile 4

The Tear | Two of Wands, Five of Swords

what you need to face:

Pile 4, I think that some of you need to face a traumatic experience you've been through. This experience, whatever it might have been, has caused you great pain and it has greatly impacted your life. Up until now you've been doing your best to ignore it and hide it away in the furthest corners of your mind; and this is normal, it's a survival mechanism and you did need it to make it out of this terrible situation. But I feel like you're out of danger now, so it's important that you start to confront what happened and the pain it has caused you. I really can't stress this enough, but your pain is valid pile 4.

For others of you this wasn't a traumatic experience or situation, but rather a conflict with a person or persons very close to you (maybe family members or close friends). This conflict has caused deep pain both in you and to the other person(s) and maybe it has even put this relationship into question. If this is the case the first thing you need to face whether or not you truly want this relationship and this person in your life. But the second thing you need to face is the possibility that you might have been in the wrong. Look back to what happened and face the possibility that you might not be completely innocent in the situation (none of us are angels and we all do hurtful things, but it's important to confront them if we wish to be good people).

how you can face it:

Queen of Cups, Fool

Pile 4, the first thing I'm seeing is seeking a professional that could help you, especially in the case of those of you that have gone through a traumatic situation. This could be something like therapy or counseling. You need to feel your emotions, but you also need to understand why you feel or felt that way to be able to truly process them. This is why a therapist could be beneficial to you, pile 4. If you're open to it, the tarot is also suggesting that you could try using art to express your emotions - even something as simple as singing your favorite songs could help.

After feeling all of these emotions and processing them, your next step to face this situation is recognizing that you're not a hostage to this situation. Give yourself the opportunity to begin again, to reinvent yourself, to try something new. Another aspect of this is realizing that even though you've been on a certain path so far it doesn't mean that you need to stay in it. You can always change your mind, you're free to grow and change. You're free to look back and say "actually I don't identify with this action/opinion/thing anymore so I'm going to do things differently".

PICK A PILE READING- things to manifest for fun!

sometimes we need to remind ourselves of our manifestation power and for some of us that can be done through the manifestation of something we could consider easier to manifest rather than "big" desires (daily reminder that manifesting 100$ is as easy as manifesting an apple). i decided to do a reading based on this concept and give you some ideas for the meantime or tell you what could be extremely easy for you to manifest. remember that you're the master manifestor here so take that as you will. demistifying manifestation/the act of creation could serve us all quite well. (remember tay tookes' post about green lime cars?)

as always, this is a collective reading so take what resonates and leave what does not. mmmmwah <3

[phoenixblaze1412]

Hello!!! i love your blog a lot and i was wondering something about the child reader au, how would the segments react if child! reader had some form of neurodivergency? Maybe they are below the level they need to be for their age on some topics but above and beyond in others that they fixate on?

Dottore prided himself on logic, intellect, and efficiency. Emotions, sentiments, and attachments were little more than distractions in his work. Yet here he was, a father to a peculiar child with a mind that worked in ways even he had trouble fully comprehending.

You weren’t an average child, that much had been clear from the beginning. In some aspects, you were brilliant beyond your years—your understanding of mechanics, biology, or even abstract theories often stunned the segments. But in other areas, you struggled.

Social cues? Difficult. Routine changes? Unsettling. Basic arithmetic? A nightmare. But if someone mentioned a topic you fixated on? You could talk about it for hours, analyzing it with detail and enthusiasm that made even the segments pause in admiration.

Omega was, by design, the closest in mannerisms to the original Dottore. Logical, composed, and a firm believer in efficiency. At first, he viewed your neurodivergency with mild skepticism—was it a flaw, an imperfection?

But he learned.

The day you explained, in perfect detail, the entire structure of a mechanical device that even he had struggled to perfect, Omega realized that you weren’t broken. You were simply wired differently. And different was not inherently inefficient.

“I fail to understand how you struggle with basic addition yet can conceptualize entire blueprints in your head,” he muttered one evening as you effortlessly explained an invention to him.

You shrugged, fiddling with one of the gears. “Numbers are hard… but machines make sense.”

Omega was not one for sentimentality, but something about that statement struck a chord within him. From then on, he no longer dismissed your difficulties but worked around them. If you struggled with verbal explanations, he provided diagrams. If basic equations frustrated you, he incorporated visual methods to make them more engaging.

Efficiency was key, and Omega ensured you had the tools to work with your mind, not against it.

Iota had always been the most protective of the segments, and this instinct only intensified when it came to you. He was perceptive, noticing the small details others overlooked—the way your fingers twitched when overstimulated, the way you recoiled from certain textures or noises, how a break in routine could leave you spiraling.

And so, Iota adapted.

He subtly adjusted the environment to keep it comfortable for you. He ensured your workspace remained structured and predictable, preventing unnecessary disruptions. If a loud noise startled you, he was quick to soothe you, offering headphones or leading you away.

The day a Fatui recruit made a snide remark about your struggles, Iota didn’t hesitate. He had the soldier reassigned within the hour, his normally calm demeanor replaced with cold fury.

“They don’t get to mock you,” he told you firmly. “You’re brilliant in ways they’ll never understand.”

You never forgot that.

Theta was your escape from rigidity. He was the one who encouraged your creativity, indulging in your fixations and making learning fun. While others tried to teach you through structured lessons, Theta turned it into a game.

Can’t focus on writing? Let’s turn it into a story where you’re the main character. Need help with problem-solving? Let’s frame it as an experiment.

He never made you feel bad for your struggles, never got frustrated when you drifted off-topic. Instead, he matched your energy, meeting you where you were.

When you got overwhelmed, he was the first to pull you aside for a breather. “C’mon, kid, let’s get some fresh air. No point frying your brain over this.”

And when you hyper-fixated on something? He was right there with you, grinning as he listened to you ramble.

“You know,” he chuckled once, “you might just be the most interesting person in this whole damn place.”

Alpha wasn’t always the easiest to deal with. He valued discipline and order, and your unpredictable nature sometimes clashed with his methods. At first, he struggled with your need for specific routines and your difficulty in adapting to sudden changes.

But Alpha was observant. He noticed how your frustration wasn’t from defiance, but from genuine distress. The day you had a meltdown over a last-minute schedule change, he didn’t scold you. Instead, he sat with you, grounding you with a firm yet steady presence.

“We’ll find a way to work with this,” he said after you’d calmed down. “Not against it.”

True to his word, Alpha found ways to make transitions easier for you. He implemented structured warnings before any changes, created visual schedules, and ensured you always had a sense of control over your environment.

Over time, you grew to trust him, knowing that while he was strict, he was also reliable.

Dottore had seen many things in his life, yet raising a neurodivergent child was an entirely new experience. He was not a man of patience, yet he found himself developing it for you. When he first realized that your brain operated on a different wavelength, he studied you—closely, carefully, not as a scientist, but as a father.

He did not try to “fix” you. Instead, he tried to understand.

When you hyper-focused, he let you ramble, never once interrupting. When you struggled, he analyzed what methods worked best for you. When the world became too overwhelming, he was your anchor.

One night, after you’d fallen asleep at your desk, surrounded by half-finished projects, he carefully draped a blanket over you, watching the slow rise and fall of your breath.

“You’re remarkable,” he murmured, more to himself than to you.

Dottore had never expected to be a father. He had never expected to care so deeply for someone so small, so different, yet so utterly brilliant in their own way. But as he stood there, watching over you, he realized something undeniable:

You were his greatest experiment. His greatest challenge. And his greatest joy.

I say this as a design student myself but like…. Design As An Academic Degree would be far more enjoyable if lecturers believed in design as a creative problem solving measure that can take whatever forms of creative approach it wants and actually encourage a wide variety of subject matter, style, and ideas and Not design as in a monolithic cliquey subgenre of modern/contemporary art defined by white collar avant garde collages profiting off of aestheticising systemic issues, governed by some of the most socially ignorant people you’ve ever met. The entire ethos of this course is pretty much “I don’t know how to tell you what design is, you just have to know how to do it” and then going “No that’s not it” to anything you show them and when you ask them why not they give you a different answer Every Time. This is the only course I’ve ever done that’s given me like negative net information if that’s somehow even possible. My only take away is that whoever runs these degrees isn’t actually teaching design, they’re just teaching you how to be trendy. This is exemplified by the fact not once in two years did we ever take a class or discuss what design even is, how to do it, how to contextually and realistically apply it, and how it has changed over the centuries, yet had an entire year long module, twice, on social networking and gallery exhibiting. Doesn’t help the whole lot is made worse by the fact that lecturers who refuse to acknowledge their style bias will stop at nothing to impose that onto a project to the point you’re nearly having to appease them over the client. Hoping it’s just where I live but I’m sadly gathering this is not an isolated issue
