#I know they're losing but I pay for my place by the ring

i do not use this term fondly.

the self obsession of being a ‘sad girl’ - and that such an identity requires an upkeep that is consumerist in nature … even consuming of other’s feelings and experiences. internalizing them so that u can deepen ur sadness. so u can wear ur depression. so u look like a girl who listens to these artists.

i chose Fiona, Mitski, and Lana to be the ‘faces’ of supposed sad girl music. i see their vulnerability get commodified in a way other artists are not. although, being an artist seems to imply commodity.

regardless … i don’t really think these artists are even similar in their works. but the thing they do have in common? a tropical scorpio ascendant, sidereal libra ascendant. each in different nakshatras.

Fiona Apple is a chitra ascendant. Mitski is a swati ascendant. Lana Del Rey is a vishakha ascendant.

chitra “the star of opprotunity” is ruled by mars, symbolized by the bright jewel or pearl, associated with the tigress.

swati “the star of independence” is ruled by rahu, symbolized by the bamboo shoot, associated with the buffalo bull.

vishakha “the star of purpose” is ruled by jupiter, symbolized by the arch or trident, associated with the tiger.

being that they are all libra risings, they are all of course ruled by venus. with fiona’s chart lord being her tenth house ashlesha venus, mitski’s being her twelfth house uttara phal venus, and lana’s being her seventh house bharani venus.

and i think it shows in how they communicate.

for example, lana always has a touch of optimism or delusion in her works and i think it’s due to her asc nak being ruled by jupiter. some examples are “happiness is a butterfly”, “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it” - i think her venus being placed in the seventh shows the manifestation of this delusion. so much of her work is centered on her partner … centering on accommodating them.

fiona has a martian flare that i adore. her sadness is so sombre … like a warrior entering battle or like something within that must be conquered on her own. it’s not necessarily an optimism as much as it feels like an obligation or duty. such as “sullen girl”, “fetch the boltcutters”. she can also be a bit angry at times - but anyways, i think the venus in the tenth shows this feeling duty … like she’s climbing out. clawing for the light.

mitski … she almost seems to accept? like it’s a dry truth or a bitter pill to swallow. and i feel like this is definitely the twelfth house effect. loss is a significant theme for her as well - “i bet on losing dogs” is the perfect example! she knows she losing, but she says: “i know they're losing and i’ll pay for my place by the ring / where i’ll be looking in their eyes when they're down.”

all such different ways of expressing their pain and sorrow, but all so beautiful to me. so seeing their art getting reduced to sad girl playlists … it helps me understand why fiona and mitski tend to disappear how they do.

anyways … just my take on these sidereal libra girls and their “sad girl music” - which is only one aspect of them. i think projecting constant misery and discontentment on people is actually bonkers but u know … i respect artists so yeah.

WHAT THE F@CK DID I JUST READ ON TIKTOK!?!?!

The theory that Sylus knows Mc will eventually be the one to kill him so that's why his love language is actually quality time because he wants to spend as much moments as he can with Mc before the inevitable happens. The crimes that Mc will inevitably commit in the future. And the fact that in the new card he said that he'll adapt to wherever as long as Mc is there because she is his home.

I don't want him to die or have a bad ending, can we just become husbands and wifes in the ending route please.....

talking about impenetrable accents/dialect just reminded me. when I was in Milan a couple of years back I was staying in this little rathole hotel and I had the biggest fucking migraine, so I was like non c'è problema I'll just go buy painkillers. of course every pharmacy on the map in a three block radius was closed, so my stupid ass just starts wandering around trying to figure out on the fly if you can get OTC from supermarkets in italy.

I walk into this little everything store (to my foreign eyes the kind of place that back home could sell you a bunch of carrots, a 6-pack of beer, pantyhose, bleach and a screwdriver set) and I see some household basics in the back but not what I need. with the confidence of a person who is only in the city for 3 days because he got bored and packed a bag and booked the cheapest flight available the week before (<= MENTAL ILLNESS), I was like no worries I know some italian, I can just ask.

I grab a bottle of water, walk up to the counter, and I'm like Ciao, hai il paracetamolo? And the guy is like che, and I'm like paracetamolo. Per la mia testa. And he's like che?

This is where I would have said 'aspirina' except I can't take aspirin for medical reasons, or 'antidolorifico' except I don't know that word and I've got no phone data for google translate and also I'm stupid. So in my fucked up leith-glasgow-italian accent I'm like paaa-ra-cetta-mollll-ooo. He's like ohhh bene, bene, and he calls another guy out of the back and asks him to go get something. Other guy then walks out of the store into the street, and before I can be like hey, che la fuck, he comes back and hands me a huge bundle of herbs.

At this point I'm like okay this entire interaction has been a bust, but these guys have been very nice and patient and they're both smiling happily at me because they've been of service, so I'm like ahh perfetto, grazie, pay them a couple of euros and leave.

EVENTUALLY I find a pharmacy that's open, and my head is fucking killing me, and my phone still isn't connecting, and now I have this small shrubbery poking out of my coat pocket, so I don't even bother looking around the shelves. I just walk straight to the counter and I'm like uhh ciao, scusi. And hearing my nightmare of an accent the guy answers in english and I'm like thank christ, do you please have paracetamol. Not aspirin, I can't take aspirin. And he's like yeah yeah hold on, goes into the back, comes out with what I need.

Only when he comes out he gives me this look, and then he starts laughing. And then he pretends he's not laughing and rings me up and I pay, and as I'm leaving I can see him losing it. But I don't care, my head is going to explode, I'm going back to the rathole to close the blinds and fall comatose for four hours.

When I get back to my hotel room I take off my coat and remember the huge bouquet of herbs in my pocket. They smell amazing, and I'm like I'm pretty sure this is parsley in which case I can just get some tomatoes and mozzarella later and make it work. but since I have no idea what that interaction was, I want to make sure. I bring out my phone to get a visual reference of what parsley leaves look like, and because I was using it for google translate earlier I put 'parsley' in the wrong box like a dope and translate it to italian.

prezzemolo

I wish I could have been the pharmacist in the moment he looked at my tired pissed off anglophone ass, heard me say 'paracetamol' in my fucked up accent, and turned around saw what was in my pocket. I'd have lost my shit too.
