General Masterlist
Series Masterlist
It was 8:55pm.
Harry had never been so fixated on time before. It was like his brain was counting down each second, even when he was trying to concentrate on quite literally anything else.
All weekend he had been wondering whether or not Y/N would show up tonight. Even though he had other things to do, and plenty of more urgent matters occupying his mind, the thought of her still managed to take up some space.
He hadn't heard from her. Not that it was technically possible; he didn't give him any contact information. God, why was he sweating this so much?
8:59pm.
The gym was entirely empty. He always closed early on Tuesdays. The rest of the week he stays open until 12am. There are more people who go to the gym late at night than he thought, but since he needed to cut himself some slack, he decided to use Tuesdays for that.
Not that he really cut himself some slack. He'd stay and do his own exercises, then stay longer to work on administration. He would eventually go home at around 11pm. Greg scolded him for it, demanding he take some time for himself, but that seemed to be impossible for Harry.
He loved this. He loved helping people and the shitty administrative stuff was nothing in comparison to the smiles he would see on people's faces upon leaving the gym. Whether that was one of the women in his defense classes, or a man who'd reached his new weightlifting goal. He loved seeing people happy.
9:04pm.
A wave of disappointment flooded through Harry's body. He didn't even know why he thought she'd come. It's not like he gave any indication that she wanted to. She actually told him, outright, that she didn't. He needed to check himself into a mental hospital or something... occupying himself so much with a girl he met once. He needed some sort of reality check.
The sound of the reception bell tore Harry from his thoughts, his head shooting towards the hallway where the sound was coming from. His feet began to move before he could even comprehend, and when he turned around the corner, a small sigh left his mouth.
Shit. There she was. Wearing baggy sweatpants and an oversized Rolling Stones t-shirt. Her hair was up in a ponytail, much like it had been the last time he saw her. It still looked different, though, as if she had put in more effort this time. There were no stray hairs, and the ponytail was braided. Her eyes were as big as ever, and he could've sworn they gleamed a bit when they landed on him.
Angel.
"Hi." She smiled shyly, adjusting the strap of her duffel bag that slung around her shoulder. The corner of Harry's mouth tugged up.
"Hi."
She didn't say anything, just stared at him and waited for him to continue talking. Harry, however, was too busy with looking at her that he forgot he should probably say something. It's why it took him a little longer to say:
"C'mon, let's go to the other room."
He waited for her to pace towards him before he turned around and walked to the training room. He tried, he truly did, to stay casual and just keep walking, but he couldn't help it. His head turnedā€”just to check, he said to himselfā€”to see the beautiful woman still walking behind him. She really was here.
Having entered the training room, Harry walked onto the mat, Y/N following him closely. He turned around and gestured for her to put her bag on the ground. She did as instructed, and stood back in front of him. He noticed her posture, the way it was extra straight. She was compensating for the insecurity that displayed in the way she fiddled with her fingers behind her back. She probably thought he didn't notice, but there were mirrors all around the room, so he could see every single part of her.
Harry titled his head downwards and looked at her. He was only realizing it now; the height difference between them. He had seen it last week, but now that he was standing close to her, it was more prominent.
"I want to say beforehand, that during these classes I will have to touch you." He said softly, his voice still in that low baritone. Y/N's lips slowly parted, but no words came out. "Is that okay with you?"
From the way her cheeks flushed after vigorously nodding her head, he could tell she had found her quick agreement to be a bit embarrassing. Harry only smiled.
"Words, please, Y/N."
"Yā€”yes," She quickly answered, and Harry opened his mouth to communicate his approval, but the continuation of her consent caught him off guard. "You can touch me."
His heartbeat began to pick up a bit, blood rushing towards parts that it should definitely not be rushing to. He clenched his jaw and balled up his fists, hoping the tension in the other parts of his body would refrain his cock from straining too hard against his pants.
Jesus, what was wrong with him? Why was he acting like he just got out of prison?
"Let's warm up." He said gruffly, sounding more moody than he wanted to. Y/N nodded, looking at her feet as she took a step backwards. She waited as Harry walked to the bench to get jump rope. When he walked back and handed it to her, her eyebrows knitted in confusion.
"It's to get your heart rate up. It'll have you ready for the exercises."
"Okay." She took the rope from his hands and got ready, but never started the exercise.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked. Her eyes went all big like it did in that first class.
"Ohā€” no, nothing. I was waiting for you. I don't know why... you're the instructor, of course." She was rambling again, shutting her eyes tightly for a few seconds after closing her mouth. Harry bit his lip to keep himself from chuckling at the woman in front of him.
"You know what, you're right, I'll join you. I haven't done my exercises today anyway." He said as he grabbed another rope. It was a big fat lie; he had trained for a good two hours today. But these exercises were harmless fun, and if it would make her feel more comfortable, he'd do it in a heartbeat.
"Would you like some music? I always prefer it because it tends to get kind of quiet in here. But we don't have to. It's really a personal preference." Harry explained, holding up his phone. A small smile appeared on Y/N's face.
"Uhm, yeah, that would be great. What do you usually listen to?"
Harry shrugged. "Uhm, rap usually."
Y/N hummed. Harry squinted his eyes at the woman in front of him, then raised a brow.
"You don't like that, do you?"
"What? No! I don't care, really. You can put on whatever you want." She was quick to defend herself. She wasn't exactly lying. Y/N didn't care, she wouldn't dream of opposing the man in front of her.
"What do you usually listen to?"
"Uhm, I like older music." You confessed. Harry tilted his head.
"Yeah? What kind?"
"Jazz, Soul, classic rock, a bit of hard rock, disco."
Harry nodded, and looked down at his phone to type in something. Y/N frownedā€”probably wondering what he was doingā€”but a giggle escaped her as 'Let's Hear It For The Boy' started playing through the speakers. Harry's eyes twinkled as he took in the sight of her. He couldn't help but smile pridefully, knowing he made her laugh like that. It felt like an accomplishment.
"Okay, let's begin."
And so, Harry and Y/N began jumping with the jump rope next to each other. He told her to count until fifty out loud, and she obeyed him. By the time they were done, Y/N's heavy breathing made her realize that her physical shape had gotten a lot worse since moving out. She always used to run back when she lived with her parents, she told Harry, but she hadn't found time for it since she'd moved.
They did a couple other warm-up exercises together, and when stretching the final time, Harry dared to comment.
"You're pretty flexible."
Y/N looked up, shrugging at her instructor. "I was a cheerleader back in high school, and I used to do a lot of yoga in college. Maybe it stuck."
"Yeah, probably." Harry nodded, admiring the woman in front of him. She talked so casually about herself. She was actually impressively flexible; it's why he noted it in the first place. She was taking herself for granted, he could tell.
"Okay, let's start, shall we?" Harry said, getting up to his feet. Y/N silently nodded as she followed in his footsteps. "I'm going to teach you some basic things, but I also want to ask you if there are some specific exercises you would like to focus on. If so, we can start by handling those after having learned the basics, okay?"
"Okay." Y/N said, taking a deep breath.
"You can think about it, and tell me next time." Harry added, and as The Jackson 5's ABC began to play, the real exercises started.
Y/N listened intently as he explained her the basic things about throwing a punch. Balance was the most important thing, Harry had said. She followed his instructions closely and stood with her feet shoulder-with apart, her right footā€”the dominant one, he told her it had to beā€”slightly ahead of her left one.
"Good." Harry's sound of approval had awakened something in your stomach. "Now clench your fistā€” you have to wrap your thumb around your index and middle fingers. Otherwise you'll break your thumb."
Y/N did as he said, keeping her wrist straight. Her stomach dropped as he let out a disapproving hum. He went to stand beside her as he lowly said:
"Bend your knees."
As soon as the words had left his mouth, Y/N bent her knees a bit. From all the nervousness she kept stretching her limbs all the time, going against his order. Seeing her answer to him so quickly had made him smirk a bit.
"Good."
He didn't miss the deep breath Y/N took as he spoke. She desperately wanted his approval. It was endearing... and other things that it shouldn't be. Harry mentally slapped himself in the face. This was a professional environment, why were his thoughts racing the same way they used to back when he was a teenager? It was pathetic, really.
"Now, when you punch someone, it's important to put your entire body into it. If you punch without moving the rest of your body, it won't have as much of an impact. You have to generate the power from your core and legs. That way, the blow will land way harder." He explained, trying not to smile at Y/N's faint frown as she took in all the he was saying. She was so concentrated, wanting to absorb every piece of information he shared. "Like this."
He showed her what he meant. Y/N nodded and tried to imitate her instructor, but without much luck.
"You don't have to lean forward that much. If you turn with your entire body, it'll do that for you." He said, and had to fight the small grin that threatened to form on his lips when she tried to hold herself back too much this time. She huffed in annoyance.
"How am I ever going to be able to defend myself again if I can't even get a punch right?" She murmured, mainly to herself, as she pinched the bridge between her nose. Harry's ears perked up at what she said.
What did she mean with 'again'? Rage started simmering in his body at the sole implication of someone having done something to this woman that made her have to defend herself. Is that why she was so interested in the class? Why she wanted to learn so bad despite being so shy? Because someone had hurt her, or threatened to, and made her feel unsafe?
"Can I touch you?"
Y/N's gaze shot up to Harry's, keeping them locked for a few seconds before she let out a soft 'yes'. He nodded once, went to stand behind her, and told her to get back into position. As soon as she had, he grabbed her hips. Firm, but light.
"Do it again, slowly."
Y/N did as he said, and let him help her move her body in the right way. Automatically, her foot stayed in the right position, and she wasn't really leaning forward anymore.
"That's it." Harry said proudly. He was kind of caught off guard when Y/N sucked in a breath and turned around, his hands falling off her hips immediately. For a second, he felt bad, not having wanted to make her feel uncomfortable in any way, but when he saw her swallow, biting her lip, he knew that his touch had caused something else.
Fuck. He was definitely better off not knowing.
"Iā€” Can I drink some water?" Y/N asked, almost sounding like she was out of breath. Harry did his best not to let it get to his head too much as he nodded, biting inside of his cheek. She scurried over to her bag, and took out a water bottle, of which she probably gulped half down before she set it down on the bench.
"Okay, c'mon. We have a lot to cover." Harry said when he felt she was lingering by the bench too much. She immediately walked back to him, and there was sense of pride that filled Harry's chest. Such a good listener, she was.
Tumblr media
Y/N was exhausted. Her first self defense class was finally over, and it was a lot harder than she thought it'd be. They went over the basics of punching, and Harry had decided that she definitely needed to build some muscle. In the end, they practiced half an hour longer than the original hour Y/N thought the class was going to be. The regular classes were sixty minutes, so she'd just assumed.
It was also unbearable. She couldn't believe how worked up she was getting over the proximity between her and Harry. It was embarrassing, she had to be ovulating or something. Of course, it probably also had something to do with the fact that Harry was singlehandedly the most beautiful man she'd ever seen, but she shouldn't have let that distract her from her goal. She needed these classes, she needed not to be weak anymore.
After the class, Harry told her to be here at the same time next week, and she thanked him before walking out of the gym.
Harry probably didn't expect her to still stand outside ten minutes later when he walked out to lock up, but when he noticed the pouring rain, it looked like he understood.
"Did you walk?" He asked casually, locking the door. Y/N shook her head.
"Bike." She pointed to the soaking wet bicycle a few feet away.
"D'you need a ride?" He questioned, stepping towards her. Again, she shook her head.
"It's fine, I'll just wait until this blows over."
As if the universe and the weather were playing a crude joke on her, loud thunder ripped through the sky just as the sentence left her mouth. Harry tilted his head a bit.
"Yeah, no. I'm dropping you off at home." He said, and before she could protest, Harry began to walk away, right into the rain. He stepped into his car and drove over to Y/N, then got out of the car again. As he approached her, he asked:
"Where are the keys to your bike?"
Too stunned to say anything, she just handed him the keys. She was a little occupied with how hot he looked all soaking wet andā€” oh Jesus, she needed shock therapy.
She watched as Harry carried the bicycle and out in the trunk of his car. The grey hoodie that he must've thrown on before leaving the gym was a few shades darker now, and strands of his hair clung to his forehead. He made his way to the passenger door, and opened it, a wave of his arm gesturing for her to get in. She ran into the car, the door closing behind her with a harsh thud.
Harry ran around the car and got in himself, closing the door and turning the vehicle on immediately. Y/N's eyes went wide as Harry pulled the hoodie over his head, tugging his t-shirt up a bit along with it. She eyed the tattoos that inked his hip bones. They seemed like... leaves of some kind? She couldn't exactly make it up in such a short time because she shifted her gaze to the car window and strictly kept it there as soon as she'd realized she was staring.
"Where to?" Harry asked, but Y/N only replied with a distracted hum, not daring to take her eyes off the car window. She had never been around someone who'd made her so nervous before. Sure, she'd been awkward a whole bunch in her life, especially around her crushes in high school. But she was 23 now, she shouldn't be behaving like this around men anymore!
"Y/N?" He leaned forward, waving a hand in front of her face. She snapped her head to him.
"Oh, sorry!" She said, her tone revealing how stressed she was.
"It's okay. Just type in your address, and I'll drive you home." Harry answered sweetly. His soft, green eyes made him seem like much less of an intimidating man. That was, until one would look further down his body of course. The man was extremely jacked, and while that was very hot, it could also be quite scary. But she couldn't find any part of herself that was afraid of him.
No, he might've intimidated her, and that might've made her act like an complet fool in front of him, but she wasn't scared of him.
The silence during the car ride was mostly filled up with Harry asking Y/N questions about herself. Where she was from, what she'd studied. She, alike, returned those questions and found out a bit more about Harry's past as well.
The he was a boxer, retired two years ago, and now owned several gyms. Y/N knows she should've been taken aback a bit when she asked Harry's age and he said he was 29, but for some reason it worked the opposite for her.
Was this a topic for therapy?
She hadn't time to think too much of it, as he soon pulled up in front of her apartment complex. They both got out of the car and Harry helped carry her bicycle to a little garage for bikes at the side of the apartment.
They walked back towards the car, both drenched in water by now, and Harry turned around to say goodbye, but Y/N interrupted him.
"What do I owe you?" She asked, not caring that she was standing in the pouring rain and she was shivering from the cold. A sort of didn't want the conversation to end just yet. Harry thought it over for a few seconds, then shrugged.
"Nothing." He said, to which Y/N knitted her brows.
"But I need to pay you for the classes." She stated the obvious, at least she felt like she was.
"It was a try-out class." Harry replied with a smile.
"I already had my try-out class." She reiterated. Harry shook his head.
"That was your group try-out class, this was your private try-out class. Try-outs are always free."
Y/N bit her lip, unsure of what to say to that. Eventually she settled on something in the middle. "Fine. I'll just tip you extra good the upcoming classes."
Harry let out a laugh. "Sure, angel."
She could've sworn that her heart skipped the beat at the sound of that nickname rolling off Harry's tongue. Did he really just call her that? Y/N scanned for answers in Harry's face, and only noticed a slight shock in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up with that casual ease that always seemed to be hanging over him.
"Iā€” I'm gonna get inside. Thank you for the ride, and the class."
Harry just gave her a small nod. "Anytime."
With that, Y/N turned around and hurried to her apartment complex, shivering by the time she got inside her own place. Her mind was racing, everything that had happened tonight kept flashing through her brain and it was like she could feel the burn of his fingers on her hips.
This was so unlike her. Unlike anything she'd ever done. Taking this class was a risk, one she'd thought being worth it, because it would bring her safety and security.
But this... these tingling feelings crashing into her like an avalancheā€” she hadn't felt like this since college. Hadn't had a crush become so intense in such a short time.
What the hell was she gonna do about this?
All she knew is that she couldn't stop thinking about him. Not as she got in the shower, nor as she got into bed. She kept tossing and turning until she gave into that feeling that had been nagging at her all night, her hand slowly sliding down her belly and to the sensitive ache that had been growing between her legs.
She closed her eyes and didn't even have to try to imagine Harry's hands on her again, the way he'd said those words to her. As if he wanted her to misinterpret them for something dirty.
"Can I touch you?"
"Do it again, slowly."
"That's it."
The sound of his voice ringing through her head had Y/N rubbing her fingers faster over her clit, her legs starting to close from the immense stimulation. Nevertheless, she forced herself to keep them open as she pleasured herself. Small gasps for air began leaving her body as she felt her climax coming closer and closer.
"Sure, angel."
The teasing tone in which he spoke, the playfulness in his eyes and the accent with which he said the nickname, that memory is what made her make a mess all over her fingers. A small moan even left her mouth in the sound of his name, and although no one was there to hear it, Y/N was embarrassed as she went to the bathroom, cleaned herself up, and went back to bed.
She did fall asleep quite quickly after, though. She was exhausted.
The next morning, there was a slight flutter in her stomach and a smile on her face as she opened her eyes. A new reason to get up in the morning had been making its way into her life, and she couldn't feel anything but giddy about it. Having a crush was always fun.
Despite the replaying of yesterday's practice over breakfast, and the heating of her cheeks at the memories of his words in the car on her way to work, Y/N knew that she was playing with fire by letting herself indulge in this crush. She needed to be careful not to let it go too far. A simple crush wasn't a problem, but he was her instructor and if she truly wanted to learn something in those self defense classes, she better separate business and pleasure.
With the loads of work she had to do at work, Y/N managed to drown out most of the thoughts about Harry the rest of the morning. She was finally relaxing after getting some important papers sent overā€”which was a stressful problem, as they had to be sent yesterday but some incompetent idiot messed up, leaving Y/N to solve it by herself first thing in the morningā€”when she got an e-mail from Sophie.
You are invited to
SOPHIE'S 30th BIRTHDAY PARTY
SATURDAY 5 OCTOBER
8:00pm (don't be late!)
Theme: Casino Night
Y/N stared at the invitation on her computer screen, a wide smile covering most of her face. She knew she didn't have any plans, but she still checked her agenda to make sure she was available Saturday next week. She felt like a child who'd just gotten her first ever birthday invitation. It sure felt like that.
Y/N hadn't really had such sweet friends before. Getting along with Sophie had been so incredibly easy and although she always felt like it was too good to be true and there must be some sort of trap, there never was. Sophie just enjoyed Y/N's company, and vice versa. It was like having a big sister and a best friend in one.
About five seconds after silently celebrating having received the invitation, Y/N began to stress about what present she should bring her new friend. It had to be something good. Sophie had earned a lot of money, and could basically get herself anything she wanted, so it had to be more of a sentimental gift.
Y/N had her eyes on a present already. She was very enthusiastic about it; it was something Sophie would really like.
All caught up in the excitement, she didn't notice a tall shadow standing over her until he coughed to get her attention. Y/N looked up, dread filling her stomach as she locked eyes with Oscar. She was still trying to remember how to breathe since her body just shut down out of anxiousness at the sight of him, when he started talking.
"Look, I'll keep this short, because I know you don't want to talk to me," He looked to his left and right before grabbing onto the desk and leaning over it. "but I just want to make sure we're on the same page."
Y/N could do nothing but blink at the man in front of her. What was he talking about, 'same page'?
"Things didn't really go how I thought they would that night, and I've accepted that. But I would appreciate if you wouldn't go around telling people."
"Telling people what?" The words left her mouth before she could stop herself. Originally she didn't want to utter a word in front of this man, nor did she believe she was able to, but this demand of his made her stomach twist. The way he said it, the distaste so apparent on his tongue. As if she were an inconvenience to be dealt with. He'd really mastered that heartlessness that only the cruelest of lawyers could conjure.
"You know what..." He said through clenched teeth, giving her a bit of a warning glare. The anger that boiled within her was new. She had never experienced it in such a large quantity before, and it had her acting out of character.
"What? About you assaulting me?"
The sentence had barely escaped her mouth when Oscar leaped forward a bit, frown so deep that it had made the vein in his forehead extremely prominent. She flinched at the sudden movement, tilting back into her chair. She felt the sped up pace of heartbeat as she clenched her fists, the rest of her body frozen in anticipation of what he was going to do.
"I did not assaultā€”" he stopped himself, his crazy eyes calming a bit, as if he realized he was still in the office. "You know what, you can run to whoever you want. This firm trusts me, and they know what kind of man I am, that I would never do such a thing. Either way, itā€™s most likely not my job you'll be risking by bringing forth such an accusation."
Y/N had no idea what to possibly say to that. Not that Oscar gave her the chance, seeing as he backed away and walked off before she had the chance to come up with something. She began breathing more heavily with every step he took away from her.
Did he just threaten her?
A tingling pain in her hand distracted Y/N from the rabbit hole of thoughts she was just about to fall into, and when her eyes moved to see what it was, she raised her brows at the sight of blood in her hand.
Unconsciously, somewhere in between looking at the invitation and Oscar's impromptu visit, she must've grabbed the pair of scissors that were laying on the desk. She must've balled up her fists so much that she cut her hand.
Staring at the blood, a thousand thoughts running through her head, only one was the loudest.
She needed to get out of here.

what type of yandere do you think skully would be? ...or would he be a darling šŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆšŸ”„šŸ”„
So far because of the AU, I'm making him a yandere. But..Ā * Insert Crowley Voice Here *Ā  For I am gracious, Iā€™ll give you both.Ā 
Skully is from a time where yandere behaviors werenā€™t exactly accepted. At that point, it was during the halfway point between acceptable and a criminal act. At that point in time, the courtship was built on affection and darlings during that time had the right to reject their yanderes. (Not without consequences, but thatā€™s a story for another time.)Ā 
As a result, Skully is a gentleman yandere. Polite, affectionate and obsessive, with the same amount of love he has for Halloween.Ā 
As canon Skully is, heā€™s just looking for excuses to kiss you. But he slowly goes from kissing your hand like a suave gentleman, to kissing your cheek, your lips, neck, trying to make out with you, et cetera. The longer youā€™re around him, the less heā€™ll be able to restrain his originally well-tamed urges.Ā 
In a way, heā€™s also a delusional yandere. Because of his affection, he perceives everything heā€™ll do as an act of love. Kidnapping you is just the start of a date, gifts with dubious and bloody history are acts of love, drugging and killing people is just removing possible threats to your relationship.Ā 
One thing thatā€™s in your favor though, Skully isnā€™t a big fan of change. And heā€™s still adjusting to the fact that all the yanderes of the present are so okay with things that once got people imprisoned or executed back in the day. So heā€™ll try to save you from them. If you end up staying with him, heā€™ll be very relaxed as a yandere, allowing you a lot of freedom.Ā 
(One funny thought I had was all the boys accidentally accelerating the acceptance of yandere behaviors with how they behave towards you during the trip and Skully learning from it.)
Skully, as a darling, is much more relaxed about the yandere thing. Same rules about darlingā€™s being able to reject yanderes in his day still apply.Ā 
So his original resistance to deviate from his Halloween traditions is amplified by the strangeness of the other yanderes, because how could they be so calm with something so horrible, AND change the sanctity of Halloween?
If MC is also a darling, then let her breathe a sigh of relief. With how Skully gently kidnaps her, she might be chill and miss the friendship between the two when she inevitably has to leave.Ā Ā 
If MC is a yandere, then well that kidnapping may be a little rough. Specifically, they might be turned into a pumpkin after all, for Skully to feel safe enough to perform the rest of his plan.
(Regardless of which MC is, then Skully will end up doing the opposite of that first thought. In fact, Skully will end up delaying the acceptance of yandere behavior with the spread of the new and better Halloween.)
I hope this was good. I wasn't really sure about it for a bit.

AUTHORā€™S NOTES
Hello to all the Kosmic Baddies!! And welcome to all the new ones! I ADORE you all. All the positive comments and words of encouragement really make my soul warm and it means the world to me that you enjoy the content as much as I enjoy making it.
You all have given me the energy to write something else! And I appreciate it because I get so boredā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦
Thank yā€™all. Love yā€™all and I hope yā€™all enjoy this post. If you arenā€™t interested in my definitions, you can scroll down to the observations. I promise, I wonā€™t take it personally :)
With Love & Lust,
A-D
INTRODUCTION
Unlike most of my other posts, this is a breakdown for how to read soulmate connections in a chart. Most of these observations are ones that me and my sister made just studying couples in pop culture and in our personal relationships. I thought it would be a fun post to write how I categorize these different kinds of relationships.
This post is probably my most subjective in awhile. These arenā€™t rules, per-say, but they are patterns I noticed when studying different relationships.
First, I will breakdown MY interpretations of what all these different titles mean, and then I will breakdown how they MAY appear in a chart. It is imperative to have the correct birth details for these observations to reign true. In Vedic Astrology, you donā€™t have to have a birth time because you can use these same calculations through the Moon chart. (Making the moon sign the ascendent. For instance, I am an Aquarius Sun and an Aries Moon, so my Moon chart starts with Aries. So my first house is in Aries, Second house in Taurus, third house in Gemini etc. My sister on the other hand is a Gemini Sun, Scorpio Moon, so her Moon Chart would be Scorpio in the first house, Sagittarius in the second house, Capricorn in the third house etc. Moon charts are a nifty thing to look at when doing astrological overlays, particularly if you donā€™t have an accurate birth time).
Again, just a friendly reminder that this is a PERSONAL OPINION piece. Now, for those of you who have been with me for my previous post, you know Iā€™m not talking out my ass. So I can absolutely promise that I am giving you the most educated and thought out explanation that I can give at the moment. I am by no means the final say on ANY of this stuff, I am far from God and donā€™t want to be the judge or the juryā€¦it is faaaarrr too much work. But please understand that there may be some things in this post you disagree with~ that is LOVELY, share your opinion with me in the comment section, I am more than happy to hear from you and listen to your insight!
But without further ado, let's break this down shall we?
Tumblr media
DEFINITIONS
Karma:
Hinduism, Buddhism. action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation: in Hinduism one of the means of reaching Brahman.: Compare bhakti (def. 1), jnana.
Theosophy. the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person's deeds in the previous incarnation.
Soulmates:
Soulmates are just thatā€“ a mate for your soul. This is another soul, individual, or essentially another life force that you just ā€œgetā€. Every relationship comes with its ups and downs and soulmates always seem to find one another no matter what. I find animals to be some of the BEST examples of soulmates out there. Isnā€™t it crazy how you can form a bond with another life force? I donā€™t find it to be a coincidence that animals and their hoomans can even look alike!
But enough with the furry friends, let's talk about hooman friends as well! Soulmates can also manifest as people (duhā€¦)ā€“ whether super long lasting or a fleeting moment. Some friendships can prove to be some of the most profound soulmates in the course of a lifetime.
And of courseā€¦a soulmate can be a lover. We will discuss what can make a soulmate different from a twin flame further in the post. But yes, soulmates can absolutely manifest as boyfriends/girlfriends/theyfriends/husbands/wifes/partners etc. This is probably the most common and sought after kind of soulmate in mainstream culture, but I cannot express enough how soulmates can manifest in so many different ways. You know how Prince would rock out with that beautiful purple guitar? I consider that guitar to be a soulmate? After all, they shared a vibration and what is a man without his tools? As long as science says that everything is made up of tiny atoms, and each person, place, or thing contains its own vibration, we are bound to time and space by our soulā€™s connection. These types of connections help us move through the void of the darkness and chaos that is the universe, and we will be defined by the contracts of our souls through lifetimes and eons. (Smeeexxiiii, huh)
Twin Flames:
All twin flames are soulmates, but not all soulmates are twinflames. This is IMPERATIVE to understand when you are defining your connections for yourself. It seems to be trendy in mainstream culture to conflate the two, but these relationships have very distinct qualities and very different karmas (lessons). For the sake of starting on solid ground, letā€™s say that Twin Flames are like soulmates on steroids. Why? Because the contract level of Twin Flames can be an extremely heightened feeling and bring out the best and worst of ourselves so we can confront ourselves through a mirror like image, a reflection, if you will, so we can truly see ourselves through a 3rd eye perspective. Sounds like a lot of mumbo-jumbo, huh? Well, it kind of is. This may be a hot take, but it is an important one, NOT EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIP IN THEIR LIFETIME. I repeat, NOT EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIP IN THEIR LIFETIME. Why? Again, because this is HIGH level spiritual work that most souls just arenā€™t prepared to encounter. To be fair, just because itā€™s high level spiritual work does not equate to it being ā€œhigh vibrationalā€. Most Twin Flame journeys deal with lower vibrations in order to raise them. So donā€™t confuse the work with the payoff. Twin Flames catapult oneā€™s soul to the next dimension when it comes to spiritual growth and learning. One of the most popular modern examples of a Twin Flame relationship isā€¦drum roll, pleaseā€¦Twilight (Spoiler Alert!). Bella started out as an innocent, run-of-the-mill suburban average teenage boring, blah blah blah, nothing-special kind of girl, with perhaps a proclivity towards darkness, who got entangled with a 300 year old vampire (or however oldā€¦.), went on to experience the highs and very very very lows of a relationship, flirted with death, lost him, got him again, was deflowered, got pregnant, damn near lost her life trying to give birth and ultimately had to be ā€œkilledā€/ ā€œturnedā€ by Edwardā€“ literally (or figuratively because itā€™s in a bookā€¦) ā€œdyingā€ to be born again and made anew. Essentially growing from an innocent virginal girl, to a very powerful woman & mother. Meanwhile, Jacob, who I would argue is simply a soulmate (see the differenceā€¦he was obviously the ā€œsaferā€ choice, but would not have sparked that dramatic of a shift in her soul) just watches from the sidelines. Itā€™s just worth noting how traumatic that entire 4-book series and 5-part movie is from Bellaā€™s perspective, but also from Edwardā€™s. His darkness engulfed her willingly, like Hades to Perspephone. He wasnā€™t really a willing participantā€“ until he unleashed all his passions and desires onto her. She reflected back to him a purer version of himself that was lost to the past and to his ā€œvampirismā€, while she was drawn to him to take her out of the mundane expectations of suburban living. Both parties were made to sacrifice a sacred part of themselves in order to embrace one another, but ultimately to embrace their truest form. For Bella, it was her becoming a mind-bending vampireā€¦a FAR cry from the less than average suburban girl she started as. And for Edward, it was to bring love and happiness back into his life. He had to let go of his ā€œIā€™m a monsterā€ perspective of himself and see that although he is a lust driven, blood sucking, overly wealthy, perpetual teenagerā€¦he isā€¦in fact, worthy of love. Awwwwā€¦now isnā€™t that justā€¦romantic? To the teenage version of meā€¦yes. To the adult version of me who has bills to payā€¦not so much. However, the story is a powerful one because it clearly illustrates the drama, the passion, the highs, the lows, the love, the lust, the hate, the envy in a spiritual twin flame connection.
(Tangent, but the word envy made me realize another key difference in the twin flame journey versus the soulmate or karmic journeyā€¦Envy plays a major part in twin flame relationships. There is something that you feel your twin has, that you feel like you donā€™t. Going back to our Twilight example, Bella envied Edward for his mystique, and his seemingly other worldly experiences. She envied his relationship to his own darkness. She found him interesting, to say the least. He was a masterful artist, a great pianist, wicked smart, and a selfless individual. Bella, at best, was a mid-level high school student. She didnā€™t have any talent, any hobbies, any desires. She was very boring and humdrum. She envied him for being so ridiculously complex. She was essentially a blackhole, wanting to be filled by himā€“ sexually, physically, mentally, etcā€¦She wanted nothing more than to dissolve into his world, inheriting his self-hatred and his life issues (like the Volutrie)...she envied his essence. On the other hand, Edward was envious of her purity. He found deep comfort in her lack-lusterness. She was beyond ordinary. So ordinary, in fact, she became extraordinary to him. To see a virginal young woman, full of life, and promise, brought him great desire. A desire he fought for like 3 books/movies. Edward, was by far, the ā€œrunnerā€ in this scenario because he absolutely felt that his presence in Bellaā€™s life would destroy her. And for what itā€™s worth, he was absolutely correct. He demolished her from the inside outā€“ taking her virginity to ultimately making her a mother, an evolutionary act within itself. The triumph of the virgin to the whore pipeline (lol, no pun intended, but pun definitely accepted). Tangent over lol)
BUT what makes them a twin flame specific quality is the fact that you realize, you are actually the same. Edward was equally as dark as he was pure and same for Bella. There was no need to envy one another because they were both capable of all states of being. Edward and Bella are a good and bad example of twin flames, because they are the rare twin flames that stay together. So itā€™s beautiful they were able to find a middle ground and create a child and merge familiesā€“blah blah blahā€¦but, that is pretty uncommon. MOST, not all, but MOST twins do not end up with a happily ever after. They usually are unable to reconcile their souls' differences. These relationships are usually to prepare one another for a high vibrational soulmate.
Karmic Soulmates:
Karmic Soulmates, are souls that have past-life unfinished business OR are meant to inspire a lesson that may or may not be resolved in this life in general. Karma/Karmic is a neutral term, so this type of relationship doesnā€™t have to be inherently good or inherently bad. It is a relationship that brings forth lessons so the soul can carry out the rest of its karmic mission. These relationships can play out in a romantic way, but they tend to be more on the platonic side. You can be in a Karmic relationship with your mother, brother, sister, teacher, etc. as well as a place! You can have a significant bond with a city, country, place and time. Anything that promotes the soulā€™s growth through support, challenges and forces you to learn, is a karmic contract/soulmate.
You are certainly meant to learn. But because of Karma being ruled by the planet Saturn, these relationships can go on for a long time, can be extremely difficult and will keep pressisting until the lesson is learned and the karma is fulfilled.
Karmics tend to have a negative connotation, particularly in the youtube tarot world, but it genuinely doesnā€™t have to be. In fact, I argue that all significant relationships are inherently karmicā€“ be it clearing up Karma from a past-life, or creating new karma for the next.
Always remember, the universe is neutral. Lessons are neutral. Love/Hate isā€¦neutral. We need not judge the nature of any relationship, including our own, if it means to help enlighten, enrich and grow our souls. We are social creatures and we donā€™t learn lessons about ourselves in a vacuum. Different souls, people, places, and things can trigger our growth in ways that we are incapable of imagining beforehand.
I say all that to say, as one of my favorite quotes from a family friend who passed away years ago said, ā€œsome things, you just donā€™t need to experienceā€. There will be times in life where you touch the fire and need to feel it to get burnedā€¦other times, you will know what that burning feels like and will turn away. This is the perfect system of Karma. Sometimes you will get burned, whether you ā€œasked for itā€ or not, and other times, you will know that there is no need to even play with the fire to begin with.
So take everything in life with a grain of salt and a shot of whiskey! Life is supposed to be funā€¦even the not so fun parts! Live, laugh, love, lust & learn! Enjoy the moment.
(This is a great example of a non romantic karmic, he wrote this song for his grandmother who passed & it catapulted him to another dimension career wise)

OBSERVATIONS
Observation 1
Do not underestimate the power of Chinese Astrology
Hear. Me. Out. I havenā€™t found a more accurate astrology for relationships than Chinese astrology. Crazy, I know. But Chinese Astrology is extremely straightforward. Screw the birth times, you just need a month and year and youā€™ve got all you need. I always joke that I exclusively date through Chinese Astrology, but I am seriously only half kidding (lol). I kid you not, whenever I study my relationships through this particular astrological lens, I am genuinely AWE STRUCK with how uncannily accurate it is. Try it! Next time you find yourself dating, or even checking the compatibility with your current mate, read a few articles and see how it lines up for you. Iā€™m sure youā€™ll be pleasantly surprised. I manifest partners through their Chinese zodiac because I am so passionate about it! It hasnā€™t let me down yet!
***Note: I donā€™t have this as an official observation because itā€™s not astrologically based, but look into numerology as well when studying compatibility! It is VERY insightful.
Observation 2
Usually Twin Flames/Soulmates have Gemini placements somewhere in their personal planets or ascendent
So this take may not sit well with everyone, because you may feel limited in the types of soulmates you can encounter if you donā€™t have any Gemini placements. Fret not, keep reading, you may fit in another category.
I am not saying that this is the LAW, I am saying this simply is something I have noticed when studying what I consider twin flame relationships. In most Twin Flame/Soulmate relationships, the Zodiac sign of the twin is usually present for BOTH individuals/souls. The psychic nature of Gemini makes it very easy to just ā€œgetā€ someone, and feel as if youā€™ve known them for years. Have you ever heard two Geminis talk to one another? It can be hard to keep up with them!
Sooooooā€¦..I feel the same to be true when it comes to these kinds of intense relationships.
It is also worth noting that Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Mercury/Hermes in Greek Mythology is the only God that can travel between Mt. Olympus (Heaven, so to speak) and The Underworld (Hell, if you will). I think this is important because it demonstrates why Gemini placements in particular can experience a love of such depth. It can go into the pits of hell and to the glories of heaven with ease, making it one of the most valuable placements for a twin flame relationship.
Another note is, in traditional tarot, The Lovers card is depicted by the twins. I feel this is a significant indicator of a deep soulmate connection because of the telepathy and how intertwined lovers/gemini energy can be. The inherent closeness of these soulmates is intrinsic to closeness that is required for any level soulmate/twinflame. Nonverbal communication can play a major role in these types of connections. As chatty as Geminis can be, itā€™s what they donā€™t say that ACTUALLY matters. Only another Gemini person would understand that.
Now, Virgo is also ruled by Mercury, but Venus is in detriment in the sign of Virgo. I donā€™t think Virgo fits this description as well, because Virgo is inherently about solitude, represented by The Hermit in traditional tarot, making it more about virginity/purity than about a 3D twin flame physical connection. To be honest, I just havenā€™t witnessed it as much when dissecting charts, but I will study it more and perhaps my opinion will change. But as of right now, I donā€™t believe Virgo placements depict as strong of a connection as Gemini in this case. Feel free to prove me wrong! Iā€™m always open.
Back to Geminisā€¦It seems so weird that Gemini energy would be the ones who attract such intense relationships because they seem so, unlovingā€¦but one of my favorite Gemini on Gemini relationships is Courtney Love (Gemini Sun & Moon) and Kurt Cobain (Gemini Moon). Ooof. OOOF. But it was like they had their own language and lived in their own world. Now, that relationship ended up in tragedyā€¦but heyā€¦they had some ā€œfunā€ moments. They were so similar and too similar at the same time, that it fueled an outwardly bizarre connection, but to them it made perfect sense. This is the power that a double gemini connection can have. Minus to tragedy part.

Observation 3
Twin Flames almost always have the SAME zodiac placements or DIRECT OPPOSITE zodiac placements.
This rule, without fail, is one of the most important and powerful observations that I have come across. If you are checking the zodiac for twin flame compatibility, I will almost say YOU MUST have the same or opposite placements in the big three (rising, sun, moon) and/or Venus and Mars.
This can be ANY SIGN in ANY HOUSE.
For example: You have Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Cancer, Rising in Sagittariusā€¦Your twin could have Sun in Virgo, Moon in Taurus, Rising in Aries. Because the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs, you could experience a twin flame relationship.
Another example: You have Sun in Gemini, Moon in Aquarius, Rising in Piscesā€¦Your twin could have Sun in Libra, Moon in Leo, Rising in Aquarius. Because the Moon and Rising are in the same sign, you could experience a twin flame relationship.
You can mix and match, as long as something mixes and other things matches (lol). Iā€™ve seen so many charts of couples that share placements or have opposite placements and immediately I go ā€œuh! Twin Flame!ā€.
I think this is due to the illicit push and pull nature/mirroring nature of Twin Flame relationships.
This is where ā€œrealā€ science comes in. All energy has an action and a reaction to create equilibrium. This is why this particular observation is so important. As Iā€™ve stated from the beginning, when it comes to Twin Flame relationships, they are meant to teach, expand, challenge and heal, so it makes sense that you would be met with the opposite force and attract one another OR the same force and repel one another. (Letā€™s talk physicsā€¦think magnetsā€¦two positives and two negatives repel, but a negative and a positive attractā€¦woot woot! Call me Bill Nye biiisshhhessss) The entire effect is to make your soul ebb and flow so it can reach a state of neutrality. You want someone to challenge your opinions and your sense of self so you can know what/ who you are. If youā€™ve never had a mirror, how do you know what you look like? Again, the same is true when someone is so similar to you. You may look at them and go ā€œwow, is this how I come off?ā€. Just to reemphasis, I donā€™t want this to come across as an inherently negative thing, it doesnā€™t have to be. It just usually requires a highly developed spiritual understanding to see that. This particular alignment can give the ā€œcanā€™t live with em, canā€™t live without emā€ feeling.
If you have complementary placements, like your Sun is in Capricorn and your partner has their Moon in Taurus, this may be more of an indication of a soulmate connection. The same can be true if you are both air/air or air/fire or water/water or water/earth.
Now, another way you can see it is if you have opposing elements. But, I donā€™t think it reads as strong as actual zodiac signs.
Just to be clear, all my examples thus far have been using Sun, Moon and Rising, but this trick can extend to Mars and Venus. So letā€™s say you have Venus in Cancer and your partner has Mars in Capricornā€¦it counts!
Observation 4
For long-term compatibility, your partnerā€™s Venus will be the same as one of your placements in your big three or your venusā€“ ESPECIALLY WOMAN in Heteronormative connections or Males in same-sex relationships.
Trigger warning for those who are sensitive about pronounsā€¦please use your imagination. I am talking about ANCIENT astrology, so it is rooted in traditional gender norms. You may disagree, that is fine, no judgment, but for the sake of this observation, you can bear with meā€¦or ignore it. The choice is yours!
Now, I am talking about a manā€™s Venus placement here. In traditional astrology, Venus indicates the manā€™s wife. So if your ā€œmanā€ has Venus in Pisces, you may have Pisces Sun, Moon, Rising OR Venus/any other water placements. This would make you complementary. In fact, I would say if his Venus placement aligns with your chart, other placements in the chart wonā€™t matter as much.
For example, You are a Gemini Sun, Libra Moon, Aquarius Rising. If your partner is a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon, Scorpio Rising, BUT their Venus is in Gemini, Aquarius, or Libraā€¦youā€™re in luck! From the big three, it may seem as if you are completely incompatible, but low and behold, your partner loves what you are putting down, so the ā€œdifferencesā€ may not be so different after all.
Venus is EXTREMELY important to long-term relationships. So is the 7th house. I wonā€™t go down that rabbit hole for this particular post, but keep that in the back of your mind.
These connections may not be as intense as Twin Flame, but this is certainly a great indication for a wonderful connection. Let me say, like I said in the beginning, not every soul needs to experience a twin flame connection for its evolution. If you are wanting something more grounded, then follow this rule of thumb when checking initial compatibility with a partner.
BONUS: If your personā€™s Venus falls in your first house, this is a great indication of producing love at first sight! Nowā€¦other placements matter, obviously, but this is an extremely powerful indication of strong, immediate, attraction.
Side Note: For Women, you would look at your Jupiter placement for compatibility with your ā€œhusbandā€! I find that you can also use this rule for Mars when it comes to ā€œboyfriendsā€ as well.

Observation 5
Synastry and Overlays Matter!!!!!!!
Definitions:
Synastry- When comparing two natal charts, this calculates the planetary alignment between two individuals.
Examples- Mars conjunct Venus or Sun trine Saturn
Overlay- When comparing two natal charts, this calculates how a personā€™s planets fall into another personā€™s house system.
Examples- Person Aā€™s Jupiter is in Person Bā€™s 8th House. Or Person A Venus sits in Person Bā€™s First House.
(if these are new concepts to you, I HIGHLY suggest you do some research. Tumblr has some wonderful posts dedicated to these practices that are highly informative. I would love to do posts concerning synastry and overlays in the future!)
Okay, this may be the MOST important observation, but it is more advanced than Sun/Moon/Rising/Venus compatibility. This requires you to have knowledge of the WHOLE HOUSE system (sorry, western astrology) and deep comprehension of planets, conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares and aaaaallll that good stuff.
My sister and I LOVE synastry and overlays. It really puts entire relationships into context to see how your chart lines up and what underlying energies youā€™re dealing with, regardless of the actual placements. How the planets react to one another and how those planets show up in your chart is MUY IMPORTANTE! Chances are, if youā€™ve read these other rules and they havenā€™t resonated with you, I guarantee, youā€™ve had a relationship that is based more on planetary alignment than zodiac compatibility.
(Just to be clearā€¦this is why I started off with Chinese astrologyā€¦Chinese astrology is INSANELY accurate and doesnā€™t require nearly as much study as what I am saying here. DO NOT underestimate the power of Chinese astrology when it comes to compatibility. I love how accurate it is with very little information.)
With this rule, you donā€™t need birth times, but my goodness do they make an impact when doing overlays. If you donā€™t have accurate birth times, always remember you can do it off the moon chart, which essentially makes the moon the ascendent sign. Just know, for an accurate overlay, you will need to use the moon sign for BOTH charts. It will not be as accurate if you use your birth chart with an accurate birth time and overlay to their moon sign. It isnā€™t ā€œwrongā€ per say, it just isnā€™t nearly as precise. You want to use the same charts. Moon charts overlay one another and natal charts overlay one another. If you have both birth times, then do both! Go wild! The more the merrier!
Now, I am not going to go in depth about what these two practices mean, because thatā€™s an entire post within itself and I wanted to keep this one ā€œshort and sweetā€. But I will say, for a rule of thumb, if you have strong trines, oppositions, and conjunctions with a person, that is an indicator of a twin flame, soulmate, and karmic connection. If you have Saturn, Pluto, Venus, Neptune and Mars with low orbs, this can indicate a soul contract/intense connection. If yours or their placements sit in your 1st/7th/8th/12th house, this can be a VERY strong indication of a powerful & spiritual connection. There are plenty of ways this can be mixed and matched. The relationship between two charts is so important, they are a study within themselves. I am only scratching the surface here, so if you are a novice, again, I cannot express enough how exciting it is to do some digging when it comes to this stuff in relationships.
There are plenty of free synastry calculators online, so please use them as a resourceā€“ even if you donā€™t understand the calculations, it is important to see the results. These placements can truly unlock a much deeper understanding of your relationships that you just wonā€™t get when it comes to looking solely at your charts at face value!
Let me know if youā€™d like me to discuss these topics further moving forward! You know I love to spread the knowledge, and there is just something so sexy about synastry and overlaysā€¦itā€™s honestly one of my favorite parts about Vedic astrology!
Bonus: North Node/Rahu and South Node/Ketu can play a VITAL role when determining what kind of karmic relationship you are in.
POP QUIZ
Just kidding, there is no test, because Iā€™m too lazy to grade anything, BUT here is an example of what Iā€™m talking about when combining the previous observations. I am not doing a super deep dive, but I want you to see how everything overlaps and intersects.
Letā€™s use Rihanna and ASAP Rocky as an example. Their connection hits on a few different cylinders. Rihanna is an Aquarius Sun and ASAP Rocky has his Venus in Leo. Why does this matter? Although Rihanna is an opposite, so Sun opposition Venus, which is twin flame-y, she is a FAMOUS, CREATIVE, ENTERTAINER and MUSEā€¦this is ALL dealing of the 5th House/Leo energy, so it make senseā€¦for nowā€¦as to why he would be attracted to her. She has No Leo placements in her big three, but because itā€™s the opposite, we go to that push-pull magnet thing I was talking about earlier. As far as how their relationship will play out long-term, I have ZERO idea, but I can say their attraction to one another is very real, but it will probably be volatile at times because of the Sun Venus Opposition. Iā€™m sure her ego will cause difficulties to his love language, BUT he may be able to take it, because his Venus is ruled by the Sun. See how layered and complex it can be? And we are just looking at one placement. They work because he enjoys the attention that she brings (not in a vampire way, just in a ā€œwow, isnā€™t my lady so coolā€ kind of way) and he allows her to shine without dimming her light, while she enjoys the fawning that he gives her. He loves that his partner is larger than life and Rihanna is larger than life becauseā€¦wellā€¦sheā€™s Rihanna. She is able to appreciate him, because at this point in time, he doensā€™t in any way seem like he is trying to compete with her. He is a confident person who can stand beside and behind such a force, BECAUSE he has such a strong Venus placement.***
Relationships arenā€™t black and white. These are just observations and rules/patterns that I have found to be true. But as youā€™ll see, as I have presented, some things will contradict, some things won't make sense, what makes sense for one chart doesnā€™t make sense for another. Etcā€¦ This is such a fun topic because it really is like a puzzle. And it really is a case by case basis. The more in depth you can look at a chart, the more knowledge you can walk away with.
Tumblr media
FINAL THOUGHTS/MINI RANT
Oofā€¦.okay, what a ride! (Can you believe I had the intention of this being a short post. HA!) I hope that you were able to take something away from this post and learn something new! As you can seeā€¦there is a very intricate science behind how soulmates/karmics and twin flames work. It is so much deeper than saying ā€œoh wow, thatā€™s my twin flameā€...likeā€¦maybe? I feel mainstream spirituality/astrology/tarot has taken that phrase and run with it. And saying ā€œif you identify as twin flames then you areā€ is misleading. It really isnā€™t something you ā€œidentifyā€ with. They either are or are not your twin flame. There isnā€™t an in between. It is not ambiguous and it can be fact checked. Also, twin flame makes it seem like you can only have oneā€¦I donā€™t think thatā€™s the case. I think you meet as many ā€œtwinsā€/mirrors/soulmates/karmics as you need until your soul learns the lesson. Have you ever felt like you just keep meeting the same person over and over and over again? Thatā€™s because we are talking about soul recognition and not necessarily 3D body recognition.
You may be attracting different ā€œpeopleā€, but you could be attracting the same ā€œspiritā€. So donā€™t always get so hung up on a particular person. TRUST ME BABES, if there is unfinished business, that same energy will come back around over and over and over and over again until you geeeetttt ittttt.
Another note is, if youā€™re like me, and you have exalted Venus in Pisces conjunct Ketuā€¦then every relationship feels twin-flame-y. Why? Because I have my relationship planet tightly conjunct my south node, so I am on a spiritual journey on my own when it comes to relationshipsā€¦my twin flame is most likelyā€¦Jesus Christā€¦soooooooā€¦ā€¦yeah. (I kid, I kid, but not really. My placement can indicate being a nunā€¦and trust me, after dealing with the crap Iā€™ve had to put up with when it comes to these men folks, I have absolutely considered giving my body to Godā€¦cuz these men just donā€™t do rightā€¦lolā€¦anywaysā€¦) Men and relationships have become my lifeā€™s workā€¦which is why I am here sharing this information with you today. Each relationship is very nuanced but all have similar themes.
I am very much into tarot and astrology and all the things, but I do feel like there is a fad going around about this twin flame business. And as much as I enjoy a tarot reading popping up on my tiktok talking about my ā€œtwinā€, I am always acutely aware that it can be a mislabeling and inspire people to put up with all kinds of crap for the sake of the label. If youā€™re going to be in a shxtty relationship, then be in a shxtty relationship, but donā€™t misuse the word. Twin Flame does not automatically translate to terrible, explosive, runner-chaser relationships and it does not excuse poor behavior. There is a difference between someone who is making mistakes because they are trying to learn and someone who is taking advantage of someone who wonā€™t stand up for themselves. Sometimes, someone you like, just doesn't like you and your ego in tandem with your fear of rejection/abandonment is preventing you from actually growing and pursuing a relationship that would benefit and promote your soulā€™s growth. Itā€™s almost like getting stuck on level one of a video game. Until you beat that internal need for validation from one specific person/soulā€¦youā€™ll never get to play the next part of the game. Nowā€¦this isnā€™t me saying that soulmate/twin flame/karmic relationships donā€™t have their downsides, but I am saying, at least know the kind of energies youā€™re dealing with before you go putting pressure on a presumably less evolved/knowledgeable individual expecting them to ā€œchallenge your soulā€ and you havenā€™t even challenged yourself. This whole twin flame ordeal is like handing a toddler some markers and leaving them alone in a room full of white wallsā€“ it is bound to get messy. Soulmates are a BEAUTIFUL thing. And very rarely, I mean VERY rarely can a twin flame move into a more relaxed ā€œsoulmateā€ relationship. It is not impossible, but the amount of effort that is required to transcend, is unbelievable. BOTH PARTIES have to be spiritually mature and aware to do the work. This connection is NOT one sidedā€¦BOTH individuals are required to learn, grow and HEAL. Mind you, healing is the main reason for these kinds of relationships. There is no way to heal when your relationships keep pouring salt into an open wound. People can get caught up with and hang on to people for far too long because of a mislabeling. It is equivalent to a misdiagnosis from a medical doctor. Sure, you may have a cold, but if they misdiagnose you with a broken legā€¦are you receiving the right treatment? NO! And now you wonā€™t heal properly! TO BE CLEARā€¦I believe in fateā€“ so if you meet someone and you have an extraordinarily intense connection, you probably fit one or more of these rules and THAT IS why I am making this post. I want you to do the research for your own sanity so you can express FREE-WILL in whether you want to walk down that path or not with a certain individualā€“ while also knowing the other person has free-will too. No label, or synastry, or overlay, or Chinese compatibility will change the fact that you may be fated to meet someone, but free-will may take you down different paths.
On another, equally important noteā€¦It is also possible to end up and stay with the wrong person. It is! You may look at a chart and follow some of these patterns and realize, you have NO BUSINESS with that individual. But people end up with the wrong people all the time. People have wasted LIFETIMES with someone they had no business with. But their ego decided they were a ā€œsoulmateā€ or a ā€œtwin flameā€ or they arenā€™t ā€œhealedā€/spiritually awaken enough to realize they can do betterā€¦and low and beholdā€¦they were wrong and they wasted precious time. Now theyā€™re miserable, canā€™t figure out why, and they end walking straight past a real soulmate in a supermarketā€¦unable to even recognize them because they are so bogged down and clouded in their unhealed ego and a bad relationship that has cut them so far off from their own divinity, they canā€™t recognize love if it smacked them in the face. DONā€™T LET THAT BE YOU!
THERE ARE LEVELS TO RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!! Not every soulmate will be as intense as the next. Not every boyfriend/girlfriend will be as compatible as the last. Love is a game of musical chairs. There is movement, there is stillness, seats get taken away, and eventually, there is a winner. And babe, it will ALWAYS be you. You will always be the last one standing when it comes to relationships because you have free-will. (Letā€™s not forget the importance of the 1st House/7th House axis. You vs Relationships. It is as equally you as it is them.) You are bound by nothing. You are bound to no one. You are love. You are light. If you do the work, you may find a wonderful, loving, long-lasting relationship full of romance, but this is not guaranteed. You AND your partner have to choose each other every single day. The best relationships require discipline, work, forgiveness, ā€œGodā€/some higher power, and loveā€“ no matter who you cross paths with in this lifeā€¦you have to do this for yourself first and foremost. Alas, if you are too caught up in people who wonā€™t meet you in the 3D, let alone the 5Dā€¦you will always fall flat of what you are looking for. The chair will always be ripped from under you when the music stops. Always. All of this is irrelevant if it doesnā€™t come from within. And this is why I want to express it one last timeā€¦NOT EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A TWIN FLAME CONNECTION. You donā€™t understand how much you have to overcome rejection, overcome fear, overcome lust, desire, ego ALL the things, to open yourself up enough to join forces with another soul and try to tackle life together. Your ultimate lover is not your saviorā€“ they are your equal. You have to save yourself. You are not your ultimate loverā€™s savior. THEY have to save themselves. You ainā€™t super(wo)man and they arenā€™t either. Your partner has to be willing to do the same workā€¦THATā€™S what makes them a twin. It is not because they are treating you like shxt, babesā€¦
Learn the lessons. Do the work. Love every bit of the journeyā€¦especially the crappy parts, because THATā€™S what will make it all worth it in the end and youā€™ll enjoy the beautiful parts as much as the Greek Gods enjoy sweet nectar and ambrosia.
Why is this important to differentiate? Why now?
Now, one thing is for sureā€¦and two things for certain, I am psychic and I have seen in my crystal ball that there is heavy energy of union in the atmosphere. I am hoping that whoever stumbles upon this post, is on the path of self-discovery which ultimately leads to liberation because not all union is good union. (I think covid brought in a lot of bad unions for exampleā€¦but that is another topic for another day). The days are getting darker, and the evil forces are getting stronger (am I being dramatic enough for ya?) so it is important to know exactly what we are all up against. Only few are chosen to be in relationships that are led by light. There is so much overwhelming darkness now and I donā€™t want anyone that I am influencing to fall into the trap. There is potential for WONDERFUL, POWERFUL, SEXY, LOVING, LONG-LASTING & HIGHLY SPIRITUAL unions right now. But you may be tempted by something that seems beautiful and it is nothing of the sort. So please, do your research. Love with all your heart. Let spirit lead you! Let love find you, there is no need to seek it out! Take calculated risk! Open up your heart chakra! But ultimately, always be mindful of the wolves in sheep's clothing.

October 2024 fic roundup
šŸ‘¶ā˜‘ļø Beginnings by @television-overload
The most perfect follow-up to Of Our Own Making! Seeing m&s fall in love and go on their first date AFTER getting married and having a child together is just precious. (Especially Mulderā€™s ā€œwill u go out with meā€ note!) I love their unconventional relationship so much.
šŸ“šŸ½ļø Untitled by @aloysiavirgata
This little fic is hilarious! I love Mulder getting the chance to be subtly petty towards Bill. I also love to see MSR being so domestic and settled down in the unremarkable house.
blue prints by @foxmulders
(Couldnā€™t find an ao3 link to this one)
Oof. This one hurts in the best way. Itā€™s everything you want for these characters that they never got to have. Itā€™s fluff, but it feels like angst because itā€™s a reminder of what the Mulder-Scully family could have been. I love it!
šŸ›šŸ«§ the alchemy by @leiascully
I absolutely adore ā€œplatonicā€ intimacy that happens when theyā€™re not quite together, and this fic starts out that way and ends in some incredibly satisfying RST. For such a short fic, this one sure does pack a punch! One of my favorites from fictober.
šŸ•³ļøšŸ“ You Send Me by spookynerd
The silliest premise leads to the sweetest romance! I love to see Mulder all pathetic and pining. My favorite line: ā€œIā€™m in love. I think itā€™s terminal.ā€
šŸ§œā€ā™€ļøšŸ’ mermaids, native to montana by @foxmulders
I read this one a while ago and recently stumbled across it again. Itā€™s the type of fluff with an undercurrent of sadness that creates such a powerful sense of longing. If youā€™re a fan of an unconventional marriage fic, read this one!
šŸ›ŒšŸš‚ Untitled by @myassbrokethefall
I usually steer clear of revival fics (I havenā€™t even been able to bring myself to watch it yet) but this one is just so darn sweet! Iā€™d like to go back in time and show CC a copy of this fic so he writes it into the show.
šŸŽ‚šŸ’Œ Birthday Blues by Donnilee
Iā€™m a fan of an author who can turn the silliest, most improbable situations seem probable, and this fic delivers. Read it if youā€™re a fan of tropey goodness and smut thatā€™s as adorable as it is hot.
šŸ’‡ā€ā™€ļøšŸ’„ By the Dim and Flaring Lamps by @sunflowerseedsandscience
I was in the mood for a historical setting, and this Civil War AU fit the bill! One of my favorite things was its exploration of 19th-century gender roles, not to mention the unconventional romance.
šŸ‡®šŸ‡ŖšŸ° Katherine of Ireland by Jenna Tooms
If youā€™re a fan of Hiraeth (as I am), youā€™ll love this one! It has a very similar setting and plot. The writing styles are very different, though, so itā€™s not like theyā€™re carbon copies of each other or anything.
Anyway, this fic is achingly romantic, with plenty of lines that take your breath away.
(If you want the epub for easier reading, let me know!)
šŸļøšŸ‘» Waldron Island by @sisterspooky1013
Like Gaslight, this fic features M&S not being able to trust their own minds. However, this time, itā€™s for horror reasons, not sci-fi reasons. Regardless, that concept is one of my favorites to explore in fiction, so I absolutely devoured this spooky fic! (And the ending scene? šŸ˜«šŸ”„šŸ„µšŸ„¹ā€¼ļø)
šŸ˜ˆšŸŖž Succumbing to the Truth by OnlyTheInevitable
If you liked Waldron Island, youā€™ll love this one! Itā€™s a similar concept, but lies more in the casefic genre rather than straight-up horror. I loooove the way it uses the plot (a succubus demon) to force M&S closer together and finally talk about their feelings. Itā€™s one of those fics where you can see where itā€™s going, which adds anticipation and makes the ending so much sweeter!
šŸ„¤šŸ›ļø Inevitable by @thefinestmuffins
This alternate version of the car conversation in Tooms is an incredible Scully character study thatā€™s absolutely dripping with UST. For a short fic, it truly packs a punch! One of my favorite parts is this: ā€œOn the Dana Scully list of priorities, want figures very, very low. Itā€™s not that she doesnā€™t possess it in great quantity, itā€™s just that she fights like hell to rate it less highly than ambition, dignity, control, pragmatism, self-sufficiency, stability.ā€

Mouthwashing x Dead Space Crossover
hello gang I am posting for once in one billion years with a crossover that has infected my brainā€¦. I keep thinking of the Tulpar crashing into the Ishimura during the first game and the crew inevitably joining Isaac on his journey as he tries to survive the markerā€™s horrors (and Jimmy obviously becomes a marker head and separates from the group bc heā€™s a stupid ass loser. fascinating villain but shit person.)
i think Jimmyā€™s insistence to ā€œfixā€ what heā€™d done would inevitably translate to ā€œmake us wholeā€ as the marker corrupts him. In his mind, he can ā€œfixā€ everything through the markerā€¦ convergence becomes the only alternative. I gave Swansea a Ripper because I feel like heā€™d work really good with blades (as previously shown thru the axe lol), Daisuke has a Plasma cutter to emulate Isaac, because I have a hc Daisuke would think rig suits are so INSANELY cool like itā€™s like a child on Christmas. in turn, heā€™d additionally idolize isaac :))). He puts his jacket over his RIG bc he thinks it makes him look cool šŸ˜­ Anya has a flamethrower because she deserves one. She deserves to light shit on fire and be mad. Sheā€™s also dressed in the Ishimura medical uniform accompanied by metal plating for protection :))))
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and curlyā€¦.. well. he got the worst ending of them all.

anyways thatā€™s all gang peace. Will provide More content soonšŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆ sayonara

I feel like itā€™s impossible to escape being a fat lazy pig šŸ·
Any diet or workout plan I try doesnā€™t last long and I slip right back into my lazy gluttonous habits!
Itā€™s just inevitable at this point isnā€™t it so whatā€™s the point in even trying?!
I am a fat lazy pig. I have accepted that now! šŸ˜ˆ

Let me be everything youā€™ve wanted
tags: alhaitham x reader, intended to be fem reader but no pronouns used (girly perfume mentioned but thats it tbh), academic rivals to lovers, fluff, so much damn fluff, this is literally just comfort, lots of teasing, sharing a bed šŸ˜ˆ, entirely sfw, probably cringe um
work count is like 3.6k BRO
Masterlist
notes: for those unaware with akademiya stuff: house of daena is the library, amurta is the study of flora and fauna (biology)
this is probably ooc but do i care? no.
12am. House of Daena.
Tucked away in your own little corner, your desk is sprawled with books, blueprints, singed scrollsā€”anything you could get your hands on.
Ironically, your palm is now the only support your head has now as you near closer and closer to the slumber your eyes long for. Exhaustion clouds all rational thoughts, and you find yourself longing for something you swear to hate the most.
Those familiar footsteps are like music to your ears, and youā€™re suddenly grateful for those shoes youā€™ve teased him about never changing.
He slides a chair out, stealing the very same seat as those many nights ago.
ā€œWhat are you still doing up? Itā€™s almost closing hours.ā€ That cold expression never leaves his face, his piercing eyes narrowing at your state. Itā€™s a trademark of a sort.
ā€œI could ask you the same thing, Al-Haitham.ā€ You retort with a little ā€˜hmphā€™. Youā€™re already cramming for next weekā€™s exams, and you do not want to deal with your rival too; heā€™s a handful as it is.
ā€œIā€™m not the one who canā€™t even turn their head to face me because thatā€™s too much of a strain on their tired brain.ā€ His expression remains the sameā€”cold and sternā€”and so does his attitude with the constant insults. Though this time they hold an undertone of concern and he looks a littleā€¦ weary.
It confuses you so much. You always wear a smirk on your face around him, especially when you finally get under his skin. You take pride in your efforts, feeling successful that you managed to beat his cold exterior. He, however, remains the same, even when he one-ups you countless times. No happiness, no pride, not even a hint of amusement. Are you really just another annoying nuisance to him? You shake that thought away quickly; youā€™re sitting beside him, and you cannot let this opportunity pass to break that shell. After all, youā€™ve done it countless nights before; it wonā€™t be hard to do it again.
ā€œReally? Because you look as tired as I am.ā€
You speak firmly, ready for his inevitable rebuttal. The piles of work is the last thing on your mind now, mentally pushed to the side as soon as he had walked in.
ā€œIā€™ve taken many breaks while studying, actually.ā€ He scoffs, but you notice the way he suddenly seems interested in the scattered notes in your folder, turning his face as if to hide his fatigue.
You slam the notebook shut and smirk; this is your time to shine.
ā€œAre those dark circles under your eyes from the smudge of ink then? Perhaps from the number of times youā€™ve rubbed your eyes to stay awake?ā€ You shift in your chair to face him better, your gaze forcing him to meet your eyes now.
ā€œYour hair has flattened from the number of times your hands have run through it, and you canā€™t even keep up your glare longer than usual.ā€
The cross of your arms indicates the end of your mini-counterargument, and you look at him proudly, waiting for how heā€™ll try to get out of this.
You think you catch a hint of surprise flickering across his features, but heā€™s already shadowed it with a roll of his eyes.
ā€œYouā€™re oddly perceptive today; perhaps youā€™ve taken a liking to admiring my face.ā€
His lips curve slightly for a mere second; your stern, cold, ass of a rival is teasing you. ā€œWhatā€™s wrong? Did I catch the mouse?ā€ His tone is still harsh and blunt, but he lacks the bite he always has when conversing with his rival.
ā€œI only admire you when youā€™re asleep in my bed.ā€ Your voice is smug, and youā€™re leaning in, closer and closer, breaths away now. ā€œCome on, weā€™re both tired.ā€
You plead in your most convincing tone. He cant deny it; it has been a long time.
He freezes as you gently take his hands, his pride shattering with remembrance of two weeks prior. Al-Haitham narrowed his eyes. He didnā€™t want to deal with his rival more than he needed to. Butā€¦ the library is vacant right now. Itā€™d be so easy to slip off. No prying eyes and a chance of rumours. Just two sworn rivals, tired and sleepy, desperate for a long rest before they have to remember all their duties for tomorrow.
He scoffs, ā€œIā€™d rather not. You know exactly what happens each time, and Iā€™m not spending 8 hours in bed with you again.ā€
He could see the pleading in your eyes, and if he were being honest, he wished he couldā€™ve stayed longer last time.
ā€œYou make it seem like itā€™s a crime.ā€ A grumble and then a small huffā€” youā€™re clearly adamant about this. His eyes lock onto your enticing ones, but he knows your tricks all too well.
ā€œYouā€™ve got some nerve asking me again after last time.ā€ He scoffs again (you wonder if he can go a day without doing that), pulls his hands from your grasp, and gets up from his seat.
ā€œOh, come on, last time wasnā€™t that bad. Youā€™re exaggerating.ā€ A roll of your eyes, and youā€™re already starting to pack up your papers. Even if he doesnā€™t allow that, he will drag you out if you decide to keep studying instead of sleeping.
ā€œI had a lecture at 8:30am, and your body clung to me until 8am. Your room is 20 minutes from the campus, and I hadnā€™t even a chance to eat breakfast because of you weighing me down.ā€ A heavy sigh escapes his mouth as he remembers the glances he got from the presenter and the other students. Being late was a rare thing for Al-Haitham, but being late, dishevelled, and having to ask for paper and a pen from other students? They thought he mustā€™ve gone insane.
On the other hand, your jaw has found a home on the floor. Yes, you vaguely remember him shoving you off and muttering a string of not-so-nice words, but you swear it wasnā€™t as bad as he described! Clinging to himā€”you? never.
ā€œHa, as if Iā€™d ever-ā€œ
ā€œCling to me? I had a feeling youā€™d say that.ā€
Your pride is shattered in a matter of seconds, never to be rebuilt again, you would say. The evidence is shown before you, and even worse, itā€™s in photo form. Your arms are slung tightly around his shoulders, your legs are intertwined with his, and worst of all, your cheeks are smushed against his neck.
ā€œI..ā€ Nothing can save you now; thereā€™s no coming back from this one.
ā€œExactly.ā€ Heā€™s got a smug look in his eyes now as he glares at you, knowing youā€™re very much stuck.
Well, when you canā€™t agree or deny it, just change the entire subject. At least thatā€™s your newfound motto.
ā€œThe point is, you donā€™t have classes until 1p.m. tomorrow, and you know I never wake up that late-ā€œ
ā€œHow do you know my schedule?ā€
ā€œā€¦ā€
The silence is deafening. Well, congratulations on changing the subject. How do you even know his schedule? You donā€™t remember specifically trying to find it.
ā€œDid you seriously remember the days when I left the room without a fuss and worked out my schedule according to that?ā€
Thatā€™s exactly what you did. Of course, youā€™d never outright look at his schedule or snoop at his things (heā€™s crazy observant, he would know). But you find yourself figuring him out more and more each time. On Thursdays and Tuesdays, heā€™d leave with no fuss, even giving you a small ruffle of your hair (which you never admitted to being awake for). Naturally, as his rival and for only that purpose (obviously), you decided to look up each and every class for that day and slowly work out his timetable based on the subjects you had seen him study for.
Stalking? No. One step ahead of your rival? Yes.
You sigh and place the pile of books you had borrowed earlier back in their rightful places. Youā€™d be going home regardless. ā€˜I donā€™t need him. Heā€™s useless, and i can sleep perfectly fine on my own. Iā€™m going to go home and get all cosy and have a long, peaceful sleep.ā€™ Convincing yourself isnā€™t as hard as you thought, unlike trying to keep a neutral look on your face.
ā€œI can see you sulking.ā€ Al-Haitham remarks, raising an eyebrow at you.
ā€œWill you shut up? Ahem, if you have nothing useful to do here, I suggest you leave too.ā€ The monotone sound surprises him, one brow raising at you. He puts a hand down on the table in front of you, stopping you from moving any further. His eyes narrow, scanning your features.
ā€œStop using your student council voice with me; Iā€™m not some troubled first year.ā€
ā€œFor further support, you may talk to-ā€œ
He lets out a reluctant groan and picks up your tote bag, slinging it over his broad shoulder. It sits perfectly, just like every other time. Calloused skin connects with your soft palm as he interlocks his freehand with yours.
ā€œFine. Weā€™ll have a sleepover. Happy?ā€ He finally gives in, though not without an exasperated sigh. You both know itā€™ll end this way, and you also both love the little game you play.
ā€œVery.ā€
He lets you pull him towards your dorm room. A smug smile is permanent on your face, free to roam in the silent corridors as if it existed just for your leisure. You fiddle with your pockets, eventually pulling the keys out. The door swings open after a bit of lazy fumbling, and he follows in beside you. One hand rests on the small of your back after noticing your sudden sleepier state.
ā€œAre you hungry? I have bagels.ā€ You glance back at him, already zooming into the kitchen for a late-night snack. He sets your tote bag carefully on the floor, careful not to crush the notes within.
ā€œYouā€™ll burn it again.ā€
ā€œHey, I adapt and move forward, you know!ā€
You prepare him a bagel as he takes a seat on your plush couch. His eyes scan over the shelves, which are filled with all sorts of trinkets and mementos heā€™s almost begun to miss. On the other hand, his dorm is plain, with nothing more than the essentials. Is that the reason he always ends up sleeping over at your place? As if the answer wasnā€™t obvious from the countless times heā€™s laid awake in an empty bed, he finds himself questioning his emotions once more.
A ceramic plate is swiftly placed in front of his face, interrupting his thoughts. A toasted bagel is placed at a certain angle with extra sesame seeds scattered on the plate and butter spread fancifully on the side. Azure eyes meet your wide ones as you smile cheekily down at him.
ā€œWho are you trying to impress? Gordon Ramsay?ā€ He couldnā€™t help but let it slip out of his mouth. They were sworn rivals after all, and theyā€™d have to be imposters if they went a day without getting a quip at one another.
ā€œI could make Gordon Ramsay beg for my food.ā€
You watch eagerly for his reaction as his teeth bite into the soft, warm bread of the bagel and into the filling.
ā€œFine, I suppose itā€™s decent. Still overdone by about 20 seconds.ā€
ā€œOh, shut up!ā€
He cant help but let a smirk rise on his face as you storm into your bedroom, leaving him to eat the bagel in the quietness of your living room. He wonā€™t admit it, but there was something about tasting something you made that satisfied him more than his favourite food usually did. Perhaps it was your focused look as you layered the fillings, or maybe itā€™s the way you proudly presented it before him. Regardless, he wouldnā€™t have it any other way.
Youā€™re dressed in a plain t-shirt and plaid pyjama trousers when you return, a pile of clothes in your hands. ā€œYou left these at my place last time.ā€
ā€œYou didnā€™t wear them, did you?ā€ His eyebrows raise as he looks at you suspiciously.
ā€œEw.ā€ Disgust forms in your expression, and you roll your eyes at his accusation.ā€œI washed it for you; be grateful.ā€
The neatly folded pile of clothes is taken in his hands, and he is surprised by the kind gesture. Or maybe youā€™re just a germaphobe, which seems slightly more likely. He slips on the freshly washed garments, closing his eyes as he inhales the sweet scent. Itā€™s wonderful; like heā€™s sitting in a field of flowers at this very moment. It overcomes all his senses, being subdued by the comfort of your perfumeā€”Wait. His eyes widen at the sudden realisation, and he lifts the thin fabric to his nose.
He was right; it is your perfume.
Of course, only you would practically drown his abandoned clothes in your most girliest perfume just to piss him off. Well, his cheeks are rather pink now after it had the complete opposite effect than intended. He supposes he should consider this a warning to ensure he takes his clothing with him next time.
The vanity light illuminates your soft skin in the dim bedroom. In front of you, bottles, tall and small, are laid out. Each cream,serum, and cleanser is chosen specifically for each of the steps of the routine. His crossed arms prop him up as he leans against the doorframe, trying to avoid disturbing you with your rather cute ministrations. Youā€™ve changed a few of your products, even going so far as to change some of them to his that you had tested at his dorm. He mentally notes the new additions, already planning for when you next stay over.
If he were being logical like always, he couldā€™ve kept it all in a drawer or a bag in his closet, but your little corner of things in his dorm brings colour and life to the dull room heā€™s never once considered his home. Something stirs within himā€”the reflection of his ā€˜spareā€™ bathrobe on the back of the bathroom door, a smudge of lipstick on the hand towel, an empty coffee mug that is waiting in the cupboard. He canā€™t forget the box of vitamins on the dining table as he eats his breakfast. You insist they will keep him healthy (theyā€™re kiddie gummies).
He blinks, returning to the moment. A content sigh rumbles through his chest as he watches you in awe for a moment longer before finally taking a seat on his side of the bedā€”something he had unintentionally claimed not too long ago. His hands settle on the soft linen of your floral bedsheets,which only ever seem to change colours and never lose the embroidery of your beloved plants. Despite your incessant complaining, the Amurta major in you always seems to shine through in the smallest things, or perhaps heā€™s the one constantly looking for it. Just now, he had seen the water droplets on your pyjama shirt, signalling that you had just watered all the plants that hang across the walls of your bedroom. He wonders which sage you coerced into allowing you to have this.
He watches you from behindā€”the way your soft fingertips rub the serums into your skin and the focused look on your face as you look into yourself in the mirror. It makes him feel warm as you admire your face in the reflection. He thinks youā€™re perfect, and he wants you to think it too. But heā€™s also getting a little impatient.
ā€œBegged me for a sleepover but wonā€™t even join me?ā€
Despite the annoyance held in his words , his tone is calm and soft; heā€™s never been the same Al-Haitham when in your room. The soft fairy lights illuminating the adorable polaroids littering the walls soothe his mind; it makes him think of you in a different light. He could never be so cold towards you now that heā€™s seen so much of you, and now he intends to lay himself bare, without his armour.
ā€œJust a moment..ā€
You give up on your witty comebacks as you succumb to what youā€™ve craved for far too long now. Your warmth encases him as the bed sheets rustle once again in your presence this time. He brings his face closer, not wasting a moment until he coaxes you closer, an arm wrapping around your waist to pull you into his side.
ā€œYou need to rest.ā€
He states, but its more of a question of whether youā€™ll listen and sleep or defy your needs to tease him a little longer.
ā€œOh, Iā€™m the one who needs to rest, do I?ā€
You say it slyly, giving him a playful grin as you enjoy how his arms feel around your torso. Your hands sneak up to his hair, ruffling it out of its flatness.
ā€œYes, you. Who else?ā€
He rolls his eyes at you, and pushes your hand away from his messy locks. One hand reaches up to gently thumb the dark circles under your eyes. ā€œNo skin care routine is going to fix this, so you better sleep on time for whoever youā€™re always trying to impress.ā€
You hold your mouth shut. Think about it.
Sure, you can argue that you do all of it for yourself. But itā€™s a complete lie. All of this, this rivalry, this overworking yourself, these antics. Theyā€™re all to one up him, all to be smarter than him, in hopes that one day you will beat him. Or maybe something else. Maybe you want him to acknowledge that you beat him. Maybe you want him to acknowledge you.
A small scoff is heard as you rest your head near the crook of his neck, one arm over his chest as you tuck yourself into his side.
ā€œ ā€˜m not tryna impress anyone.ā€
The words are mumbled as the dim room gets to you, coaxing the tiredness out of you. His hand moves to your head, running his fingers through the strands of soft hair.
ā€œDid you know if you sleep earlier, then youā€™ll actually retain more information? If you did that, maybe youā€™d beat me.ā€
His voice is low, lulling you to rest as you begin to doze off. He can feel your head growing heavier and his gentle strokes growing slower as he watches you drift off. Your responses turn into inaudible mumbles, which he lets out a small chuckle to.
Maybe, deep down, you do yearn for his attention. Perhaps you do yearn to be better, wish that one day this pretense will be broken and you can love him without holding back.
His gaze is fixed on the way your hair falls around your face, stray strands on your cheeks. He canā€™t understand why you push yourself so hard. Heā€™s seen your efforts, everyone has, its clear as day. But its rather amusing to see you try so hard to prove yourself to him. You just need to step back and look at your achievements and youā€™ll realise it all.
ā€œMaybe youā€™ll see that you already have everything youā€™ve wanted here already.ā€
He whispers the words softly. And who knows, maybe one day heā€™ll say it when youā€™re wide awake.

SATOSUGU MITSKI ANALYSIS BY MEšŸ˜ˆ
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
this took me so long because if I think too much about mitski in general I canā€™t breathešŸ˜œ
I highly suggest listening to the song on repeat while reading this, it enhances the comprehension and suffering <3
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
A Burning Hill - Lyrics:
"Today I will wear my white button down
I'm tired of wanting more, I think I'm finally worn.
For you have a way of promising things
And I've been a forest fire; I am a forest fire,
And I am the fire and I am the forest and I am the witness watching it,
I stand in a valley watching it, and you are not there at all.
So, today I will wear my white button down.
I can at least be neat, walk out and be seen as clean.
And I'll go to work and I'll go to sleep and I'll love the littler things.
I'll love some littler things."
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
ANALYSIS
"Today I will wear my white button down"
This is the KFC breakup. Today, Suguru is healing. He is giving up everything he's ever had and defecting from Jujutsu Tech. It's his turning point. He's letting go of his old life, closing all the doors to open new ones. His white button down is this new, free version of himself that isn't controlled by the system & forced to watch his friends die anymore. The tone and mood of the song is melancholic and bittersweet; Suguru has been/is grieving over this loss that he is about to experience by leaving, but the point is not to be happy, but to be free. Of his own inhibitions as well as the higher ups. This violent change, this new path he is forging for himself is the opposite of linear, and in leaving, he is letting go of his soul mate. It's hard. But necessary.
"I'm tired of wanting more, I think I'm finally worn."
Suguru is so emotionally and physically drained. Shifting the timeline to before his defection, Suguru was having a horrible time. This life he led at the school, it was slowly enabling his death. He was rotting from the inside out. All there was to life as a sorcerer was cruelty, death, and the inevitability that tomorrow would be no different than yesterday. Exorcize, Absorb, Repeat. Suguru was bone tired. Tired of seeing his friends die. Tired of not being able to do anything about it, even as a special grade. Tired of being told that it was all in the name of saving the helpless. This sickness, this rotting within him had finally crossed a threshold after Riko (rip).
"For you have a way of promising things"
Satoru was the last thread holding Suguru to Jujutsu Tech. Satoru was Suguru's person. His one and only. How nice life would've been with Satoru at his side. The yin to his yang. The two strongest sorcerers. This dream of a future with his other half was beautiful and so, so tempting. But the reality was that this future was never possible. Not as sorcerers in their timeline. Not when they were being used and thrown around by the system. If there was any one person who could've stopped him from defecting, though, it would've been Satoru. In the end, Suguru's love for him took precedence over his need to be together. Suguru chose love. Love over the promise of a future with his soul mate.
"And I've been a forest fire; I am a forest fire,
And I am the fire and I am the forest and I am the witness watching it,"
Flashback again. Suguru was rotting from the inside out. He was losing control. He was depressed and descending into madness. Rikoā€™s death, combined with Gojoā€™s death & resurrection, had completely flipped his life over. His mind capsized and he lost faith in his once strong ideals. The anger and confusion and negativity were pouring out of his body and suffocating him everywhere he went. He had no control over his life, his friends' lives, and even some of the non-sorcerer's lives (Riko). He was becoming every cursed spirit he absorbed. He was inhaling the negative energy. He became the negative energy. He was surrounded by the negative energy. He was watching the negative energy eat at others, too. Everything was out of his control and he couldn't take it anymore.
"I stand in a valley watching it, and you are not there at all."
While Suguru descends further into madness after Riko's death, he compares his grieving to Satoru, who used his trauma to get stronger and develop new techniques. Suguru knows that Satoru compartmentalizes by hiding his feelings behind playful smiles and silly remarks, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch. Satoru can get through this, but Suguru feels as though he cannot. He cannot put himself through another friend's death on account of "justice" or finishing jobs the "right way". This is where he realizes that their paths must diverge. The end of their time together as the top sorcerers is in sight. Suguru knows he must leave Satoru behind. Satoru is strong enough the push past this and make a difference as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Suguru being there would only be a hindrance, a complication that would hold Satoru back. Satoru is no longer a part of his future in the way he wants to be. Satoru might hate him, but it's for the best.
"So, today I will wear my white button down.
I can at least be neat, walk out and be seen as clean.
So, flashing forward to KFC again, their paths separate. Suguru has salvaged and remade some small part of himself. He is no longer Satoru's moral compass, he can't be. In doing so, he has let go of expectation and started listening to his heart instead. Suguru's being seen as clean is him finally standing up for his true self. He knows that this road he's heading down will lead to his death, but at least he is fighting for himself and those he truly cares for. For Satoru. This truth is all he needs to accept his inevitable death.
"And I'll go to work and I'll go to sleep and I'll love the littler things.
I'll love some littler things."
After KFC. Suguru starts his cult and gets the cogs moving for his plans. He pushes himself like he always has, but instead of saving those helpless against curses, he's against them. In this, he believes he is saving Satoru. Suguru's new life will go on until it doesn't anymore and he has come to terms with it. His life is his now, he can make his own decisions, and that is what matters to him. In the end, he had to let go of the biggest part of his life. The biggest love of his life. It was not easy to leave, and there is a gaping hole in Suguru's heart where Satoru belongs, but Suguru can deal. It's worth it if he can try to save Satoru instead, even if he despises him. He also started to love some littler things (mimiko and nanako) before he passed. In the end, he was driven by anger and hate, but amongst it all was the creation of those feelings: love.
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Wow okay everyone please go drink some water, head outside & reconnect with nature after this (I need to)
Please comment your thoughts down below, I would love to hear all the different interpretations yā€™all have!!!

Lament AU Masterpost (Iā€™m using that word wrong)
FIND OUT WHY IM YAPPING ALL THE TIME IN ONE SINGLE CLICKšŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡ AND YOU DONT HAVE TO READ 200,000 WORDS TO FIGURE IT OUT šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™ (but if you do Iā€™d sacrifice myself for you if needed)
ALSO I MADE CHANGES TO THE STORY (nobody gaf)
ALSO I ADDED THE POST-EPILOGUE ENDING OF AJLšŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆšŸ˜ˆ kind of. Because itā€™s up to you as the reader if you want the remainder of the Lament AU to be canon to the story you read in A Jesterā€™s Lament, despite AJL being the Lament AU (nobody gaf) (Iā€™ll explain it in the post)
THIS POST WILL INEVITABLY BE EDITEDā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøšŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļøI AM OFF MY MEDICATIONā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļø
Tumblr media
What is the Lament AU and why do you post so much about it?
Idk
No really
Okay wise guy, since youā€™re so insistent
The Lament AU is basically another Dimentio gets redeemed story. It started off in the form of an ao3 fanfic called A Jesterā€™s Lament (AJL) that SOMEHOW gained so much love that I am still tweaking about it to this day. No seriously I owe my life to all of you. Im not joking. Email me for business inquires (sacrificial rituals). First come first serve btw
HOWEVER. While AJL is very VERY important to me and Iā€™ll cherish it for all of time, it is a taaaaad bit outdated. While the fanfic itself is not changing, the story I established in AJL does have some minor adjustments now. Basically, think of AJL like a first edition of the Lament AU and this tumblr post is the second edition of the Lament AU LMAO
Iā€™ll list specific changes for those who are interested (no one), but after that, Iā€™ll give a summary of the Lament AU for those who donā€™t wanna read a 41 chapter Mario fanfic.
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR A JESTERā€™S LAMENT!
What Changed in the Lament AU since AJL:
1. Dimentioā€™s Initial Betrayal/Count Bleckā€™s Plan
Having conspired the plan before he was integrated into Team Bleck, Dimentio planned on betraying them all so he could use the entirety of the Dark Prognosticus + Chaos Heartā€™s magic for himself so he could create his own perfect world with the utmost power and magic available. However, as he befriended the others, this plan would change. Dimentio decided to not only spare Mimi and Oā€™Chunks, but create their own worlds as well and risk the grandeur of his own world (this is not some kind of heroic sacrifice, trust me). AJL states that Count Bleck had lied to the minions and was never planning on giving them their new worlds. This is no longer canon. In the current Lament AU, Count Bleck was going to give them their worlds as he had promised (although, he planned to commit suicide by letting the Void take him, something no one knew). Despite his seemingly decent relationship with Count Bleck and Nastasia, Dimentio never planned on sparing them. While this is true in AJL, his motivations are different. In AJL, he did not plan on sparing Bleck and Nastasia for he believed them to be a traitors (he was aware of Bleckā€™s real plan and Nastasiaā€™s knowledge of it). This motivation is no longer canon. In the current Lament AU, Dimentio, in his cruel greed, still desired the extra magic to create his perfect new world. He knew that if he spared the Count (and ultimately Nastasia, since her ideal world was to be WITH the Count wherever he went), his original blueprint for his horrifying utopia would be ruined.
AJL also states that Dimentio decided to spare Count Bleck and Tippi because they reminded him of his parents. This is no longer canon. In the current Lament AU, Dimentio brought the pair to Dimension D to murder Bleck himself as revenge for what Dimentio perceived to be pathetic cowardice from forfeiting the plan to end all worlds (and murder Timpani as further revenge upon Bleck). Why he brought Nastasia, that is now as vague as it was in the game.
2. Jaydesā€™ Judgement
Jaydes commanded Dimentio to be brought back/to return to the Underwhere in order for balance to be restored to the system of Life and Death, which King Boo had disrupted when he had revived Dimentio. She gave Dimentio an ultimatum: Return now and live a neutral afterlife (the best he could get) in the Underwhere, or remain on the mortal plane, and be forever condemned to his cell in Bonechillā€™s Prison as a result. Dimentio would not return, and remain with the others in order to try to fix the harm he had caused. In AJL, this rule/curse was lifted after the Pure Hearts revived Dimentio after the explosion because, ā€œShe [Jaydes] claimed along the lines of the Pure Hearts never healing evil, which erased the gray line that made Dimentio undeserving of both his cell and the Overthere, and, in turn, apparently making her feel more guilty about her pronounced curse.ā€ This is no longer canon. Not only is Dimentio never seeing the Overthere, but they never find out if Jaydes changed her mind. As far as they know, after the events of the war, Dimentio is still damned to his cell for all eternity when he dies as punishment for disobeying Jaydes, a belief that would continue for the rest of their lives.
ERMMM WHAT THE FISH!! I think thatā€™s it for plot changes. If I think of anymore of course Iā€™ll add it :3
NOW. Hereā€™s what that fucking thing is all about.
Lament AUā€™s Story (summarized version) (SPOILERS FOR AJL) (OBVIOUSLY):
King Boo is pretty sick of Luigiā€™s shit. He wants this guy DEAD. One day, he hears of some gay guy that came pretty damn close to prevailing against Mario and Co., so he travels to Bonechillā€™s Prison and gets this gay guy to agree to join him. Using his Dead Ghost King Powers, King Boo revives Dimentioā€™s soul and grants him a new physical body as a result. This resurrection spell has some setbacks, though. For one, it takes many months to fully complete. Until then, the revived soul must rely on Life Magic (same shit from a Life Shroom basically) given from the reviver in order to stay alive. This means that until the spell is complete and Dimentio can survive without King Booā€™s life support, any kind of spell that Dimentio casts will ultimately drain his Life Magic fuel because that is all the magic he has in his body at ALL (it is automatically taken upon entry to the Underwhere). Basically, Dimentio is more dangerous than he was in the games for he is no longer holding himself back in battle, buuuuutā€¦ sometimes he will pass out and King Boo has to perform CPR mid-fight. Ridiculousness ensues.
ANYWAYS, Dimentioā€™s deal with King Boo is that he kills Luigi, and King Boo will craft Dimentio his perfect new world (albeit maybe not precisely how Dimentio planned) using a hybrid spell. The rest of it is typical Luigi and Co. VS Dimentio and King Boo (oh yeah, Steward too). But Dimentio is having EMOTIONAL ISSUES. Ohhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Long story short, he is in complete denial that his new world is practically worthless without his friends. He is also forced to partner up with Luigi when the two accidentally end up in the Pit of 100 Trials. We also get some backstory (TLDR: Dimentio actually had an overall healthy and loving family growing up, but those who attempted to kill him and killed his mother sent him to wander dimensions forever, and he could not return home due to memory loss that lasted for a few thousand years. Skill issue LMAO get ratioed dumb fuck).
Anyways, that time in the Pit of 100 Trials planted a seed of ā€œhey, this guy kinda has some swaggerā€ in both Dimentio and Luigi. But it is only through more battles and through Luigi and Co. nursing Dimentio back to health (after Luigi tried to kill him with the Thunderhand LMAO get fucked gayass clown) that this seed grows. Eventually, Dimentio spares Luigi in a fight, and King Boo finds out about this. Heā€™s like ā€œman this guy SUCKS!!!ā€ He drains Dimentioā€™s life magic, kills him, and puts his soul under mind control like he (King Boo) did with the ghosts in LM3. This is where Jinxed Dimentio comes from. Controlled by King Boo, Dimentio kills Steward and Luigi, who is revived by a Life Shroom. Luigi has a EUREKA šŸ’”moment and uses another Life Shroom to try to revive Dimentio, which actually works.
Now Dimentio is kind of in a pickle šŸ¤“ā˜ļø The Life Shroom made it to where Dimentio was free from King Booā€™s terms and conditions, meaning King Boo canā€™t go around taking his Life Magic away anymore. HOWEVER, the initial revival spell is not complete, so every spell Dimentio casts will still drain his Life Magic and kill him if he isnā€™t careful. In fact, the only Life Magic he has left comes from the Life Shroom, so for a while he canā€™t cast spells at ALL.
But anyways. Dimentio is now on the good side blah blah blah working to make amends whatever. But Queen Jaydes is like ā€œHEY Luigi. Come here rq šŸ™ since uh. You didnā€™t kill this guy and now heā€™s on your side. Uh. I gotta tell you heā€™s fucking shit up. Like the balance of life and death has been disrupted since heā€™s alive when heā€™s supposed to be six feet under. So bring him to me okay okay stop crying and pissing yourself. Tell Dimentio to return to the Underwhere. If he does uhhh. He can have a neutral afterlife with the Shaydees and not get punished. But if he doesnā€™t come back, heā€™ll return to his cell for all eternity.ā€ Dimentio decides to stay despite this threat to try to right his wrongs and end the war he helped start.
Anyways Dimentio ends up using some of his Life Magic to put his sister (Shadoo) out of her misery, which leaves him weak as hell for the Final Battle which happens like 5 seconds later. Mf is practically on a ventilator and being rolled around on a hospital cot for the entire damn fight. That is, until he remembers he casted a Permanent Spell a while back to make his bed he had in King Booā€™s fortress float off the ground (okay princess), so he absorbs that magic and is now balling (kinda). He uses a clone to trick and lead his friends away from the fortress, then confronts King Boo and uses a box-explosion so powerful it breaks the box and kills Dimentio in the process. The others find out, gooogoo gaga, womp womp. King Boo is somehow still alive. Heā€™s about to kill everyone when some my little pony shit happens and the Pure Hearts return, imprisoning King Boo who fucking knows where and resurrecting Dimentio and, thus, finally fully completing the revival spell.
Blah blah blah happy ending, Dimentio knows he still has a long way to go to make amends, he works as a babysitter for the Koopalings now, he lives in Flopside, everyone goes on a fun and goofy Odyssey trip, yeah heā€™s going to hell for disobeying the goddess of death and judgement but letā€™s try not to think about that,
THE END
So.. ermā€¦ what happens after?
Iā€™m so glad you definitely asked that question
So like I said- while AJL IS the Lament AU, it can also be considered its own ā€œversionā€ of the Lament AU because it is a fanfic with a clear ending- that being the Odyssey trip. Anything that happens after has been left up to reader interpretation for a while now. Because of this- it is completely up to you if you want the rest of the Lament AU to be canon to the A Jesterā€™s Lament fanfic or not. Even though itā€™s the same AU blah blah blah blah blah. You want AJL-Lament AU Dimentio to live a very long peaceful happy time? HIP HIP HOORAY!! :D But. Lament AU Dimentio. Uh.
So
For a few years uh. Nothing. AJL ends on the Odyssey trip, and life continues as normal (+ expensive therapy) with our main protagonists becoming closer friends.
HOWEVER. Yk how Dimentio is like ā€œWho knows? Maybe I have a few more centuries of life yetā€ at the end of the fic? (LOUD INCORRECT FAMILY FEUD BUZZER). Lament AU/AJL Dimentio only lives for about six more years post-war.
But user dappledpaintbrush, why? Why would you make him go through allat just to die six fucking years later? Seems overkill
Silence, young grasshopper
Okay Iā€™m only kidding but like. Man. Come on. No matter how many good deeds I make this bastard do, no matter how many times I let him get bitch slapped around by the Consequences of His Own Actions (trademark pending), there is no expunging this unholy track record:
Tumblr media
Also because. Get it. Six years is. How long he was away from his friends in the Underwhere/with King Boo. Get it. Pretend Iā€™m a good writer with good parallels
But before he died, Dimentio ultimately decided that when he DID die, he was going to drown his soul in the River Twigz. Not because he was damned to his cell, but because he believed he had lived long enough to know he didnā€™t want to live forever, regardless of what his aftergame looked like. He told the others about this, and Luigi asked him if he [Dimentio] could wait to see him [Luigi] again first. This was asked under the assumption that Dimentio would die centuries after everyone else, and that there would be no ā€œwait timeā€ to see Luigi and the others again and thus, no risk of getting caught by Jaydes and sent to Bonechillā€™s Prison before Dimentio had the chance to end his aftergame. But yeah then Dimentio kicks the bucket from Ancient Death (basically: DAMN! YOURE WAYY TOO OLD LMAOOO. DIE INSTANTLY!). HOWEVERRRR, Dimentio said fuck it we ball and asked Jaydes if his punishment could be postponed so he could fulfill his promise to Luigi. This is when we finally get a resolution to the judgement subplot- she changes her mind about punishing him WOOHOOšŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„
Also the gang visits him sometimes. rarely. almost never. because Jaydes is like listen ik yall are the heroes of all realities but yall canā€™t just Do That. Mostly theyā€™re like BITCH KING BOO IS AT IT AGAINšŸ˜šŸ˜ and Dimentio starts tweaking from the great beyond
But yeah uh. Dimentio still ends his aftergame when all is said and done. Sorry guys I just donā€™t see him willingly living forever. I think that desire died with his perfect world. Also I feel like itā€™s the final ultimate part of his redemption because he tried to eliminate every living thing from existence as well. Aldus enters the Underwhere (where he is now visible due to what is essentially Jaydesā€™ firewall) and ends his aftergame alongside his son, too. Father son bonding can I get an amen. Also, Merlova canonically died-died in the battle against the Skellobits. So yeah. The Dimentio lineage is completely eliminated by the ultimate end of the Lament AU. Thank GOD
I think thatā€™s it. Idk how to end this
Thank you for reading this if you did at all :3 sincerely, yappledpaintbrush

WIP Whenever.
I am overdue. @ghostoffuturespast a couple times over I think. And @scarlettspectra
His holo buzzed. Fuck. Yawen. He looked at the clock. 01:13. He didnā€™t answer, deciding to wait instead for the inevitable voicemail. ā€œYouā€™re late again, so donā€™t bother.ā€ It wasnā€™t much of a relationship these days. It was convenient. Far easier than the alternative. They had officially broken up years ago, but it was like a bad habit neither of them knew how to quit. They were both busy with their careers, too bothered to do anything more with their social life. It was fine. The next morning, he took the metro for Yawen, a way for him to feel like he was making up for yet another fuck up on his part and saving - whatever this was. He used to do this more often with her when they first started dating. Back then, it was nice to steal what little time they had with each other on the metro. He worked as a graveyard shift beat cop, and she attended night school for her neuroscience PhD. Upon reaching her stop, Yawen boarded and acknowledged him, as she did every time, taking a seat next to him. Sheā€™d pull up the latest medical news on her laptop and heā€™d read over her shoulder. She preferred this to the lump of apologies River used to give her.
Tagging back cause it's been long enough šŸ˜ˆ @ghostoffuturespast @scarlettspectra and also for good measure and no pressure: @shimmer-like-agirl @streetkid-named-desire @dani-the-goblin @wanderingaldecaldo

uno reverse I would like to know your know your headcanons about Sev. also on Fi? Both of them seem like such jumbles of contradictions to me but in opposite directions
Sev
A. (Realistic):
The reason why he didnā€™t make it back up to the RV point during/after Order 66 was because in addition to losing comm-contact with Delta, his leg was crushed and he ended up losing it. Has a variety of prosthetics over the rest of his life. Also I like to think about The Ground On Kashyyyk and what a man might have to do to survive there alone and injured. But thatā€™s more of a C headcanon šŸ˜ˆ
B. (Hilarious):
my hc for sevā€™s deep voice (and all the different voices of delta squad) was that they were vocoder mods. furthermore, i headcanon delta squad uses them to sing a mean barbershop harmony LMAO itā€™s their squad hobby okay?
C. (Heart-crushing and awful):
I think he feels things very deeply, remembers things people have said forever, and is nursing a lot of pain under that surly exterior. Who called him psycho? He knows. He believes itā€™s true. Heā€™s internalized all the abuse, partly because he takes things literally (hc neurodivergent sev hello), and partly because heā€™s never had anything other than a steady diet of grueling, thankless achievement and dehumanization (and if he ever dared to let himself hope for better, it would only bring pain at the inevitable downfall). He couldnā€™t and wouldnā€™t articulate any of this if his life depended on it.
D: (I substitute my reality):
if he ever unbent his oriā€™jagyc pride enough to let someone fuck his ass, heā€™d become the worlds neediest and most demanding bottom forever. Nah, I do like him switching but it think it would be fundamentally life-changing and paradigm-shifting for him to have a prostate orgasm. šŸ˜Œ
Fi
A. (Realistic):
He likes glimmik for the rhythm so he also dances and beatboxes and calls cadence and does his exercises in tempo. to take it kinky, i bet heā€™s into impact play. as a medic, his favorite thing is taking a pulse (and hearing it beat alive alive alive)
B. (Hilarious):
He has a fingeršŸ˜‰ in every branch of the Repcomm Polyculeā„¢ļø, like a free bouncing rubber ball in a rube goldberg machine. like the nursery rhyme: put in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said what a good boy am i!
C. (Heart-crushing and awful):
what because canon wasnā€™t enough? well okay you asked for it: so what if after his injury he didnt get his memories back intact and barely remembered omega squad? He was only with them for a year and change. Please imagine Niner and Dar coming home to him like that from Imperial service. Please imagine how Atin would feel about it. Please imagine how awkward it would be for Corr. They all know him and he doesnā€™t know them. Imagine how Fi might feel about it. Parja Bralor is his closest friend now.
D: (I substitute my reality):
He and Parja are really good friends and got married as a double beard situation for one another. Maybe they have a little queerplatonic sex with each other for fun and comfort but they are not the loves of each others lives.
