#6 Astrology Observations

People with 2nd house stellium are generous but also protective with their resources. Like the more you show them that you want/need their help, the more they will withhold it from you

People with prominent Leo placements in natal chart have such sensitive ego, like the moment you make them feel like they are less important, they will remember that sh*t forever

Although, ironically, Leo placements are really good in boosting someone else's ego as well

Aquarius people are the funniest people I've ever met. They can be so loving and caring but in a light-hearted way

Prominent Saturn placement in composite chart have feel like one of you will be looked up to, almost like a parent or teacher. This also works in synastry chart

In my experience, Virgos always have that selfish streak about them. Makes me want to kind of gatekeep certain things from them lol

In my life, a lot of Sagittarius women fell for Cancer men so much??? It's weird though, because I always perceive Sagittarius women as this ambitious, freedom-seeking, and sometimes even reckless in their emotional expression. But they ended up baby-ing these Cancer men

North node conjunct Chiron in composite chart is very karmic and hurtful, at least that's my experience. It's like the universe will forced the both of you to grow and change, face your deepest fears and even the worst version of yourselves.

Mars in 8th house composite: The Jealous Couple. The moment some b*tch tried to touch / talk to their significant other inappropriately, all hell breaks loose. Just don't. Even the most chill couple I know just won't sit quietly, they will fight with you. And don't get me wrong, this isn't about one person gets jealous of the other. It's both. Both of them have this attitude towards the relationship

Lilith in 1st house composite, both become each other's sexiest and darkest fantasies

I feel like a lot of people are obsessed with 8th house synastry. People actually imagined it to be this hades/persephone type sh*t where one person is obsessed with the other -reminds me of those creepy booktok girls who fantasize about getting kidnapped by handsome dude. While in real life, 8th house synastry can be so emotionally abusive and the worst part is, not one person in this person meant any harm or even have the obsessive qualities before this relationship. Which is why some people talk about this placement as if the people in it is "losing themselves", because they do might be changed, but not always for the better. Or at least, these people will be the worst version of themselves before they get better. In real life, if you have s*icidal tendencies or depression, this type of relationship can trigger you so much. Oftentimes, this person that you have 8th house synastry with represents both your insecurities and desire

There's something about Pisceans that somehow seems like "the perfect victim" with how passive and innocent they are, only later people discover how they hate feeling trapped or abused in anyway. The moment they feel slighted, they will remember it forever however due to their somewhat light-hearted and dreamy nature, they seems to forget about it so easily but they aren't. It's only a matter of time before they leave. Somehow, some way, with their passivity, it seems to others that they will just "accept" whatever treatment from others, but then you notice with time, they will be withdrawn and avoid you little by little. Piscesan reminds me sooooo much of Sagittarius (and yes both are ruled by Jupiter, which represents expansion) so the idea that they're this harmless, passive, innocent little baby who will stay there no matter what is so not true. They will avoid confrontation and will not argue with you about how wrong you treated them, but they will find an escape route

Sagittarius women really out there being the baddies and somehow fall for questionable men 😃

Venus in 7th house in the Solar Return Chart does not always means that you will find love that year. It could also means that justice will be in your favor

Those people with placements that aligns with your mercury sign can help balance your mental health

I'm not even sure if I've written this before, but all water signs are equally vindictive. They don't ever forget sh*t you did to them, especially the girls

Scorpios, especially the males, are attracted to dark, dangerous personalities, probably because in some sense they recognized that characteristics within themselves. However, once they become the said victims of those dark personalities, they will become too spiritual/religious, or further affected their narrow-mindedness (if they are already narrow-minded) and those who aren't narrow-minded initially, they will start to become one. They can even turn hateful. This is because in my opinion, like most water signs, they are can be prone to naivety. They genuinely thought that these dark personalities will do harm to others, but somehow not to them because they too recognized these characteristics in them. But these dark personalities, or just messed up people are not picky about their victims, they just victimize anyone in their way. This can create power struggles in the relationship or make the relationship too transactional because Scorpios will want to overpower the other, and would rather stay in this relationship (until they win the war, or get even, revengeful, etc) than to just stay the f away from these toxic relationships. This can create harmful patterns in their behavior where future relationships with others/new lovers will be filled with manipulations and "tactics" rather than sincerity

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS PT.20

⚫ Opposite to the stereotype of Leo being a narcissist, its the Aquarians who are more narcissist than ANY other zodiac. Esp its the Dhanishta naks out of the Aqua naks who are so.

⚫ I have seen 3 Aquarian moons (of Dhanishta nak) who had a poverty stricken first half of life (childhood, teenage years) but then they become well off like rlly very well off in their second half (esp after marriage). They marry rich 🤑 too. What i am saying here is the dramatic transformation of their financial life.

⚫ Pisces men are physically abusive. That's it. Esp the March Pisces. They literally are a bully. (Dont be fooled by the beautiful doe eyes lol)

⚫ "WOW What voluminous and luscious hair he's got!" -my ♌ rising and moon mom commenting on a side character with insignificant role in a movie 🤣. I wasn't noticing that at all...but she seemed to be stuck on that feature 😂.

⚫ Martian influence on a chart can actually have a liking to dangerous weapons and ammunitions. (Like idk I weirdly love them 😂😂)

⚫ Females with Ketu ruled naks are the first group of people whom male perceive as "threat". (Second is mars btw). Like if the other person is a typical male (egoistic, chauvinist) they will literally hate you to the core coz they know you equal them in all ways (except you know what LMAO 🤣). So they'll try to pin you down or belittle you etc. (sad, but since I have experienced I wanted it to share w you guys)

⚫ Also I love the way Ketu Nak women get along becoz mostly they have so much in common. And by that I mean how the society (male dom) treats them. I am not saying they're an "outcast" but the reaction they face just coz the male species get intimidated by us which has an cascading effect on our mental peace is beyond tolerance.

⚫Ketu naks are sexyyyyyy 🖤👁️🫦👁️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

(I always imagine a smokin hot biker girl 👩🏻‍🎤with leather jacket and smoky eyeshadow whenever I hear "Ashwini, Magha and Mula")

⚫ I have seen a Chart which was totally "Mars" chart and I'll tell you, that person has Aries asc, Moon, Mars and (Mercury ig is in Scorpio?idr) along with Scorpio sun. And that person is like personified version of the planet itself. So cunning and so shrewd, potentially be a mastermind. Statergic. Secretive af. (Might be their middle name to exaggerate). Close to their mom. Loves friends (friends over anything). Also they have a "reddish" tint to their skin (no health probs, but yeah that planet does that). Knows how to tackle any embarrassing moment in public and deal with it. (I am jealous of him coz i wanted to be like him in every way 😂)

⚫Lilith and Pluto aspects in natal chart can actually survive 8H synastry. Almost same energy and themes. 💀

⚫Why are Maghas the "scapegoat" of the family? Like they be framed in a situation with which they have no relation with. Its annoying to see. Its like you're locked in your room chilling and as soon as you step out, everyone in the family is blaming you for something or the other. Now you're the "bad guy". (Yo wtf 🤡). Added to the generosity of Leos, people target you often. 😕

⚫Libra men CANNOT stand loneliness and being ostracized at all in any way. I have seen this in every Libra I came across. For eg: if you're the "black sheep" they won't talk to you and will go with what the crowd says. And if people have outcasted them just becoz they're with you/involved with you, they'll drop you like hot potato. People say and stereotype Capricorns for being the one who cares about reputation and all, but her 'Venus-ruled-Saturn-exalted' sister also is same. 💀

(no wonder they're besties lol)

P.S: I read a post here which said "Eye contact with 8H synastry hits different" ( i am not copying, i don't remember the username) and boy is that true 💀💀💀. Like I was -->😯😳🫣. Coz I have experienced that 🤣🤣. It does, than any other eye contact I have seen. Lmao 🤣🤣.{Edit: its @zeldasnotes 🖤😁}

Hope you liked it 😁😊. Until next time! 👋🏻

Love you y'all ❤️❤️❤️

How Is Your Future Partner Like (Intuitive Reading)

midnights version!! Because I looooooove bluuuuue. This is an intuitive reading, meaning it's not based on tarot but on my own intuition and channeled messages. If this doesn't resonate with you it's ok, this is just for entertainment purpose.

pick a picture or a number very wisely because duh

pile 1 pile 2

pile 3 pile 4

pile one.

Hello pile one, for you I feel this strong sense of responsibility and duty towards your family or your job or studies and I can see you are a disciplined person or are used to taking care of things on your own. I know this should be about your partner but this is the vibe I'm getting from you right now. A lot of pressure for you for sure and you might be a romantic person that is too busy or too stressed to think of meeting people and stuff, you find social situations a little bit tedious too.

Your future partner might be somebody who is just as disciplined as you but they don't feel the overwhelming weight of disappointing people like you might feel. This is a person who takes care of their mental health as much as possible because they know that they won't be able to do a good job if they are stressed or tired, they are very responsible and might have been raised in a more laid-back household so they can allow themselves rest when is needed, or try to do the best for themselves mentally to be good at anything they have to be good at. Your future partner is someone who's charismatic but solitary, they try to present themselves as well put as they can because they like to show off and to look nice, this is someone who understands that looking good is an advantage. I see they're very ambitious and extremely individualistic, their sense of humor is very bizarre and they might do it on purpose to shock people or see what they'd do, this person is actually quite shy and doesn't like being surrounded with people for too long. When you two meet you'll probably won't like them, or feel a magnetic attraction to them that's almost inexplicable as you might think this person isn't your type, they will be attracted to you the second they see you. You two could be colleagues or friends or know each other but the relationship is never close until one day something just clicks. They will be fascinated by you and look up to you too, like they see a role model and a partner, they will feel very protective of you as well, you will feel very seen and appreciated by this person because they'll wanna listen to you and they rarely want to listen to people talk about themselves.

you or them might have these on their birtchart or synastry: Taurus Sun/Ascendant BIG Taurus energy so might be Taurus Stellium, 6th/7th house Synastry, Cancer Sun/Stellium, Water Moon, 11th house Stellium, Sun in 11th house, Aquarius Ascendant, Saturn-Venus Synastry, Venus in 10th house/11th house, Moon-Moon Synastry,

song:

pile two.

Hello pile two, for you I see you are an adventurous person, kind of always doing something, always thinking about a million things like your mind can't get any rest, you are very creative and love to talk about your creations. I know this should be about your partner but this is the vibe I'm getting from you right now. You really are restless in some way, hard time falling asleep and hard time focusing, if you feel something strongly you must do it, you also have a very good intuition and should work on it a little bit more, I feel like you've predicted things in your life people called you crazy for.

Your future partner is no fool, they're just like you. This is a person who is always plotting something and dealing with something, they're hard to get kind of people, is like they live in their own little world and are always looking for the next mental challenge. They probably were raised in a very controlling household or one that didn't approve of their ideas or condemned their kind of mentality, someone who has a difficult relationship with their family but keeps themselves occupied to not think of the hardships of their childhood, somebody who ran away or left their hometown, this is a person who's always been looking for more than what they've been taught and accepted the next challenge with open arms. This person is unusual in the sense they might like to wear baggy clothes or clothes that don't call much the attention, they don't take care of themselves as much aesthetically as they don't mind how they look to outside viewers but also it might be a statement to say "I don't care. I don't care about anything" when they do, they care about everything all the time and that's their ruin for them. They did NOT wanted a relationship when you two met, and might make you go through hard times or make you wait a lot until they confess their feelings, this person has a really hard time not rationalizing their emotions and you throw them off the edge. You are their soft spot, their weakness and they will find themselves, surprisingly, opening up to you like they never did with anybody, they might be just as intuitive as you and see something in you but it's harder for them to understand, you are a very special person and they see something very special in you.

you or them might have these on their birtchart or synastry: Virgo sun/Ascendant, 9th Stellium, Sagittarius Moon/Venus, Gemini Stellium/Ascendant, Venus-Uranus Synastry, Venus in 9th/3rd, Scorpio Sun/Ascendant, Water Ascendant, 11th Synastry, Big Air Stellium

song:

pile three

Hello pile three, for you I see a very explosive or impulsive personality, somebody who's not bending over anyone and who is very talkative, you have a child's heart and are a delight to be around, very extroverted for sure. I know this should be about your partner but this is the vibe I'm getting from you right now. You are unapologetic and know how to have fun, most of all you are a person that always tries to see the positive side of things and won't let bad things ruin your day or night for anything, is hard for you to fall asleep as is hard to wake up. You are also very loyal and compromise yourself to everything you seem worth of it.

Your future partner is someone more reserved and less impulsive, but that doesn't mean they're boring. This person is extremely attractive (hehe) and has a temper for sure, they are just more secretive about their movements and decide their next steps carefully. This is a person that doesn't take themselves as seriously as people think but likes to put in a show for people and likes to be seen as intimidating, they like being a more private person as they'd probably been raised or grew up in a household where their family was untrustworthy, could never take anything seriously or were very dramatic and self-centered. This person is very self-aware and also authoritative, they probably are the boss on their job or everybody trusts them to do things right. They like to wear winter clothes and dark colors, they give me Levi Ackerman vibes for some reason, somebody really intimidating but deep down doesn't give a damn. When you two meet this person is not immediately attracted to you or aren't even thinking of relationships, it's very probable you meet them when they're going through a breakup or a love disappoinment of some sort that makes them not want to engage with you, but you will like them almost immediately and try to get them no matter what. It'll work! Your perseverance and your obvious sexual attraction will make them fold for you sooner than later. I'm going to be honest, this feels like a friends with benefits kind of situation that progresses into a relationship, they will feel intrigued not for the sexual connection but the way you move and present yourself that makes them want to know you more which is not usual since they don't tend to go out of their way to meet people, they will be very impressed and feel like they never met someone like you and will become obsessed with your natural coolness and even the way you dress makes them like you even more. This person will adore you, they are very intense and can be kind of possessive of you as well, if you're into that kind of stuff.

you or them might have these on their birtchart or synastry: Aries Sun/Venus, Scorpio Venus, 8th Synastry, Leo Stellium, Pluto-Venus Synastry, Capricorn Sun/Ascendant, Sun/Venus in 10th house, Earth Mars, Mars-Venus Synastry, Libra Ascendant, 5th Synastry,

song:

pile four

Hello pile four, for you I see someone who's imagination makes them shy away from the world, a very sensitive and sensorial person and you are almost always sleep deprived for some reason you are definitely a night owl. I know this should be about your partner but this is the vibe I'm getting from you right now. You're a person who is used to bend and to give in, you don't like conflict and hate when people fight, your childhood could've been full of arguments and fights so that's why, now that you're older, you tend to give in even when you don't want to, you try to keep yourself busy to not think of sad things but you might be a pessimist at heart. You can be a person that sees themselves as "broken".

Your future partner is just as imaginative as you, but they express it wholeheartedly, they are free and have an almost childish mind, this person lives their truth every day and they hardly try to hide their personality, they might seem careless and immature but are very contemplative people and search for the answer of things always, they love to know and to read and to listen and to educate themselves. Somebody who likes to do well in everything and tries hard to prove themselves to people, this person might've grown up in a chaotic or closed off household that didn't always value knowledge but who's right and who isn't. They can get repetitive or very passionate about a topic, this person is very eccentric and loves to show off how much shit they know but not because they think they're better than someone but to make conversation and gain more knowledge from other people's perspective, they are pure at heart just like you are and can be dramatic or aloof but never mean and never to you. When you two meet the first one to fall will probably be you as you will love the way their mind works and how passionately they speak of their beliefs, you will feel immediately inspired by them but immediately feel left down, assuming they will never like you back. This person will be very shy in front of you all of a sudden and turn into a mess when you're around because they don't do romantic feelings very well, to be honest, your future partner will also feel like they aren't liked romantically by anyone because people might have told them they're weird or not good enough to be a partner, so they will too shy away. This relationship will not start immediately and might take a long time to develop until the both of you realize the other's feelings, and from then you'll try to go slowly but this relationship will feel so exciting it'd be difficult not to be happy about the future. This person will make your opinions valid and make you feel like you matter to someone unlike previous relationships, it will be a very cute and happy relationship for both of you, they will treat you like the most precious thing they know.

you or them might have these on their birtchart or synastry: Pisces Sun/Venus, Libra Stellium, 2th house Synastry, Aquarius Venus, Virgo Venus/Ascendant, Capricorn Stellium, Jupiter-Venus Synastry, Big Earth energy

THAT'S ALL HOES! REBLOG!

[thunderroseses]

I have a new headcannon, this is a add on about this post (warning very long texts)

Here’s the body version (she’s not wearing clothes but everything is covers and appropriate I think?)

The words say

Left: was formed with these, every planet and moon had them

Right: Earth symbols but fancy ✨

On Luna’s leg it has Earth name in a cold lettering thing I found

(I did this on my phone sorry)

These marks represent who they are as a celestial being and who they belong to, moons to their planets but also planets to the Sun, (In the past, these marks where seen more as ownership over the moons by the planets and The planets by the Sun) this marks can’t be changed no matter how much one may try, these mark can be seen as a status symbol as if saying your better then another moon because of your planet, not everyone thinks this way, but moons like Ganymade uses how Jupiter being a terrifying force in the solar system as a way to say his more powerful then the other moons and to put himself about the others, he is one of the most powerful moons in the solar system because of him being Jupiter’s moon, even if he wasn’t originally made by Jupiter.

Other moons like Saturn’s tend to hind theirs, as they don’t want to be lumped into Saturn’s representation, which is not good among the moons, his seen as a cry baby, forgetful and mean (this is just the moons opinion, as we’ve seen in the moon revolution they don’t have high opinion of the most planets) it doesn’t help that in the past Saturn used to force them into or show off his mark, and covered them in gold, they were called trophies, taking away any humanity they had (even if their not humans) only being seen as a statue symbol for their planet, that created a big disconnect and hatred for their marks, other planets and moons don’t care much, and it varies if they hind them or not.

These Marks also show the wearer past, as some planets such as Venus, Earth and Mars still have things from their proto days, such as Venus and Mars still having life and Earth having lava, Earth still can’t remember the past and just assumes it’s from his volcanos, since it starts to look like moving lava when ever a volcano erupts, him and IO being the only ones with active volcanoes in the solar system shears this, even if it looks wildly different from each other. Earth volcanos can also hind his other marks that aren’t apart of his surface, mostly on his hands and feet.

Both Venus and Mars’ old lakes and rivers have turned into scars that curved their way through his surface over time, much like Earth would have if he lost his water too, since water can slowly take apart of the surface over time if it’s there long enough.

Gas giant’s like Jupiter and Saturn have gas swirling around their arms, it moves and is effect by the weather on their surface, Callisto also has these on her arms with the addition of small stars covering the bottom of her hands but fades out the higher it goes. The ice giant have a lesser and more giant version of this that is hard to see over the frost that covers their surface, Neptune is a bit different then Uranus, his core can warm his body more since it’s hotter then Uranus’ meaning he had a more fishy theme (I’m planing on drawing them +triton next which will explain this better) Other then that their Marks are fairly similar, being made up primarily with diamonds and swirling lines that represent their icy titles.

(Jupiter’s symbol might changed as I’ve found some sources that says he doesn’t orbit the sun, I can find anything on NASA’s website but they don’t update it that often and still have some stuff that where proven false, such as super Saturn which is ringless rogue dwarf planet, that we haven’t been able to find since, but it still says it’s real on the NASA website)

Talking about Neptune, his biggest moon, triton tends to hind his marks to fit in better with the other moons both with rest of Neptune’s and the wider solar system’s, he doesn’t want them to think badly of him from not being from the same solar system (if he even had one to begin with) and he doesn’t want Neptune’s other moons to think he doesn’t care about them, since he wasn’t created by Neptune like they were (no matter how much Neptune tells him they’ll love him nonetheless) instead his mark are made up by his travels throughout the galaxy and who he was before he was captured, he loves his marks and it hurt him or have to hide them, they represent his longing to remember who he once’s was in the past, he had started to show them more as he starts hanging out with the other dwarf planets :)

Titan on the other hand has grown to hate his marks, they represent everything he hates about himself and are a barrier between him and Saturn’s other moons, as he was formed by another planet before Jupiter and Saturn ejected them, he is the last reminder that his planet and siblings even existed, everything else has been scrubbed away and killed and as Saturn’s guilt grew he refused to let Titan show his marks beside his own, since it was a constant reminder to Saturn, making it hard for Titan to heal from his past and the trauma of losing his planet and siblings, much like Saturn hasn’t healed either. His marks are also a constant reminder that he is not one of Saturn moons, that he is an outsider from them because be wasn’t made by Saturn own hands like the others and when he tried to bring up his troubles the other moons would dismiss him saying “at lest Saturn remembers your name.” Even if it took lateral decades to get there. He doesn’t belong with the other moons (as fair as he knew he was the only one) because he wasn’t made by the planet he now orbits.

During the moon revolution Titan finally had a place where the belonged, as a united force against their planets, he wasn’t the outsider for the first time and was able to talk about his past for the first time, a adding factor to this is Ganymade who sheared a similar past as him, he was token from his original planet too (even if their path differed from there) the difference was Ganymade used his new status of being the moon of the biggest planet, and was able to inherit a fraction of Jupiter’s old planet, they bonded over the fact they didn’t belong with the other moons and being the only reminder of their planets before they where either killed or ejected, it made Titan more welling to go through with the revolution even if he was against killing a planet to get the respect of their planets, he didn’t want to give up on the community they had formed and the friends he made by going his own way, even Ganymade and Europa (I think they had good intention with the revolution even if they went about it in the worst way) their relationship was rocky afterwards but got better, his Marks are still a sore subject that he rather not remember, but his growing to except his past, and that even after the long path it took him and all his struggles, his still here and that’s worth something in its own.

Lastly since there no good space for this

Sun’s symbol is very different compared to his planets and their moons, since he orbits the Milky Way, or as other article say the centre of the galaxy, his marks is as if you painted the night sky, full of blue and purple, littered with stars over top, it reachers around his torso and interfere with some of his other marks.

Thank you for coming to a (for once’s) not late night rambling with Rose!

I have had this idea for while now and it’s just been growing since then, I’ve grown a bit obsess with this story idea:headcannon? Why ever you want to call it :D

Game Spotlight #3: Digimon World (1999)

Today is a special day and as such it is is only fitting that today marks the first Acquired Stardust Game Spotlight brought to you by me, Larsa. What makes today special? Well that’s because it’s August 1st, better known to many fans around the world as "Odaiba Memorial" or more simply "Odaiba Day", a day which marks the 24th anniversary of the chosen children, the “Digidestined”, who first made their way into the digital world. No matter when you became a fan of Digimon this date holds a deep meaning to all of us in the Digimon fandom for being the day that the original chosen children started their journey. 

                                                  “ ! “

This is a universal day we in the fandom celebrate the world over and it is an eventful day like this that puts on full display how caring the Digimon fanbase is of the series. Whether you can visit the man made island of Odaiba in person on this day or you are browsing through your social media apps embracing the meme this is our day fellow "Digi-fans".  Digimon is the franchise that kick-started my imagination and truly meant the most to me growing up as a child back in 1999 when "Digimon Adventure" first aired on Fox in North America. It is no exaggeration to say years in my childhood that Digimon was very much my life. It was what I most often thought about when I would daydream at school, or soccer practice. I would even find the spare time as a child to desecrate an innocent sheet of paper with my personal crudely drawn original Digimon. ( We all did this am I right? )   As a way to make me happy with my childhood obsession the first home console game that my older brothers bought me was Digimon World for the original Playstation. The game blew my mind with how large it felt at the time and as a result was what largely consumed my summer vacation that year. I happily say that this game has been an absolute adventure to revisit to this day~!

                                “ This was innovative at the time! “

Digimon, shorthand for " Digital Monsters ", started as a virtual pet toy created by WiZ and Bandai in the year 1997 as the more "masculine" companion to big sister toyline " Tamagotchi ". These new Digital Monsters weren't just adorable pets wanting for you to take care of them they were born fighters and you the player would tame these creatures from birth to battle other players of the game through connecting devices. It turns out many children did become tamers because the Digimon v-pet toy was an instant hit selling many toys right away. Immediately after the launch of the original toy-line it was clear that Bandai was very confident that they could shape Digimon into a successful multimedia franchise. The Digimon toyline was quickly followed up with a more expanded toyline, magazines, manga, trading card game, and several video game projects - the first notable home console video game release being "Digital Monster Ver. S" for the Sega Saturn in Japan.  The first globally released Digimon video game would be "Digimon World" for the Playstation console and this game was developed alongside it's own sequel "Digimon World 2" in an ambitious project by Bandai to ensure in their minds global domination. 

“ Digimon World “ was originally was released on January 28th in the year 1999 in Japan to a successful launch.  The following year it would be first released in May to North America(NTSC) and shortly afterward in July to European(PAL) regions. Both of these version would both go onto be big selling hits on the console earning the Playstation's "Greatest Hits" label in North America and likewise "Platinum" status in Europe because quite frankly Digimon was that big of a deal already. By the year 2000, it was clear outside of Japan that Digimon would not just go down as another another contender to Pokemon’s reign. The Digimon series had become a champion in it's own right establishing itself as a rival even for Pokemon at the time. Digimon World was the first Digimon video game most of the world experienced. So the question is after all this time how does the game hold up 24 years later? Was it worth the hype in a crowded platform like the Playstation?

                      “ Sidenote: They were pushing the original Digimon TCG  “     

                                  “Welcome to The Digital World “

 The Digital World is a vast and mysterious place that exists both within our world and outside of it. You insert the Digimon World disc then go through the Playstation start up sequence where you are greeted by that haunting yet relaxing boot up sound of the console. After a brief load time you are shown in wonderfully aged FMV from a typical afternoon of the year 1999 in Japan complete with children battling virtually through the Digimon V-Pet toys. Before long the battle between the two players go from toy to imagination in our main character's head, daydreaming of the fight between two Ultimate level Digimon: the proud MetalMamemon and the imposing MetalGreymon. After the cut-scene you hit start to officially start your own journey to the digital world albeit an unintentional one for our avatar as they are forcefully whisked away into the Digital World itself through their own V-Pet toy.

                                      “ MetalMamemon wants to fight! “

Once the scene finishes playing then you are confronted by Jijimon, an elderly wise Digimon who asks the players some background questions which determine your starter Digimon. You see depending on the answers you gave Jijimon you will receive Agumon or Gabumon as a companion both Digimon whose potential take different shapes. After being introduced to your partner you are then given reason for why you were brought here to the Digital World: it turns out maybe you really do just love Digimon so much that it made you a chosen child yourself? At any rate you the player are tasked by Jijimon with the serious task of rebuilding " File City ", a village where Digimon used to live in peace with one another until recent times where the formerly peace loving Digimon fled the city after having forgotten their own past. As you guide each new Digimon back to the city you may uncover the truth behind the current ongoing mystery of File Island.  Those who re-join the new File City  will offer something helpful to the city whether it to run a Bank, Item Shop, Clinic, or much more.  Ideally you will help the village grow from its humble roots to a true city but it won’t be easy, tamer.

                           “ Becoming Garurumon is gonna be tough... “      

                        The game truly begins now as you are set on a journey to explore File Island, a wondrous land of mystery with many different ecosystems filled with many diverse Digimon and just as many wires emerging from the soil unlike anything you may have seen before anywhere else. And now with this journey comes responsibility - while your primary goal for being here may be to help File Island at large your more immediate task is to care for and raise your Digimon properly. It is up to you the player to decide how you raise your digital partner as each day passes by in a linear manner through morning, day, dusk, and dawn cycles. It is at this point you can immediately with courage choose to venture outside the city into the unknown or spend some time building the combat stats of your Digimon partner at The Green Gym section of File City. At the gym you can put your Digimon through a variety of training tasks which is typically focused on increasing one stat at a time primarily. These stats are known in the game as HP which effects how much damage they can take before fainting. MP which determines the amount of points how many combat techniques your partner can use in a battle. Off(ense) which is the stat the game uses to figure out how hard a Digimon hits another. Def(ense) which works as the opposite, this stat determines how much damage a Digimon takes from being hit in which the higher def means less taken away from HP. SPD which determines how often a Digimon attacks with a technique (this caps at 300 SPD), how often a Digimon guards against an opponent's technique, and how fast your Digimon's Finishing Move charges through their own actions. And last but not least is Wis(dom!) which can give your Digimon the ability to listen to more commands in battle. Each training session causes an hour to pass by in the digital world but this is time well spent because these stats are the key to success in combat.

                                     “ Yup, it really won’t be easy. “               

If you raise your Rookie-rank Digimon improperly they will eventually become a rather weak Champion-level creature known as "Numemon" hardly fitting for the moniker at first glance. However if you raise them well they can become something greater through digivolution and every Digimon has multiple evolutionary branches which are driven conditionally by how you raise the Digimon whether it be through hitting stat thresholds, battles, the amount (or lack of) care mistakes, techniques learned, or even body weight.  The game even has additional secret methods of reaching digivolutions that may surprise a player the first time playing and even longtime players who have yet to experience everything the game has to offer in their time with it. You may not always get what you want through Digivolution without proper planning so keep that in mind.

           Outside the city you may run into hostile Digimon that can quickly become challenging for your partner had they not been prepared properly for the dangers of the wild. Once in combat you have to leave the battling to your Digimon partner as you stand on the sidelines making commands or supporting them with various healing items. It is at this early point you learn that you cannot directly control what your partner does in battle you can only offer them orders to influence their behavior in a battle system akin to something known as an "auto-battler" today. Your partner when they achieve victory can learn techniques from their foes, obtain items, and Bits (currency). On the other hand your partner can fall in battle and for each time they fall in battle they will lose a heart which will result in them passing away upon losing three hearts. Between any battles that can occur your digital partner needs food, they need to use the bathroom, and your digital partner needs rest. Every time your Digimon uses the bathroom outside of a stall or porta-potty it will result in a "Care Mistake"  which the game will remember for that Digimon's lifespan through an in game counter. 

                       “ Forget it. This dino is more cuddly than any wolf. “

  I mentioned lifespan earlier, right? Well every partner Digimon generally needs to be cared for with love before unavoidably they pass away sooner or later. And when that time comes Jijimon will be there to reincarnate your partner Digimon into a Digi-Egg where they start life all over again. Due to the nature of this game you form a bond with your Digimon that you may not find yourself having with other similar monster raising video games such as Pokemon. The time you have with your Digimon in the Digital World is fleeting and it's quite sad. As a tamer it is with love inside of your heart that you must juggle that fleeting time between making your buddy stronger and spending their same limited time saving the Digimon outside the city alongside the player. There is a real somber feeling when you know your Digimon might be on your last day as you run a frozen tundra for the final time at night knowing it might be their last one with you. Everyone who has played this game enough understands that heavy feeling and it is that feeling which drives you to do better for your next partner.

                              “  This land is labeled correctly. “

This game world has its own logic and rules that are rewarding to learn to get past the harsh difficulty curves.  And now with that being said it is this same "gameplay loop" which I laid out in detail leading up to this which would often overwhelm me as a child. Many times I would aim for my Agumon to become the mighty Greymon only to get another alternate digivolution like Monochromon instead of the one which I planned for. This would happen to younger me even with the official Brady Strategy Guide by my side because a guide can only help you through so much - this was a game you had to experience and learn yourself back in the day to get the most out of it.

                                  “ Time flows differently here! “

The Digital World in this game is all about discovery. Often you may have no idea what to do next exactly if you are playing the game blind though with enough discovery you will figure it out.  You may find that next Digimon you need to bring back to File Island in a place you never thought to check. You may even find a random item on screen you have walked by hundreds of time without ever having seen before that hundredth visit. Digimon World balances elements of a pet-simulator, and maybe more impressively a world that feels like it is really one of a kind.  The environments in this game are beautiful, populated with all kinds of digital critters, and accompanied by often fitting ambient sounds which fit the atmosphere the game presents to us.  There is nothing quite like walking through File City at nighttime with your Digimon partner as that lovely song plays away in the background. Composers Koji Yamada and Yuko Ishii outdid themselves with this game’s score, most songs being geared to the environment at hand and some others geared towards pulse pounding combat as your partner is locked in a fight for survival. For example the musical themes of Factorial Town feels daunting and mechanical in nature.  We now live in an era full of "open world" video games everywhere and yet sometimes Digital World feels more alive to me than even some modern AAA offerings. It says a lot about a game’s quality when it can stick with someone positively years later.

                                      “ Make the right choice. “

Speaking of the way the game looks all together it is a pretty nice looking game for the Playstation. It is the first time that the original Digimon which famed Digimon designer Kenji Watanabe created were being presented in a 3D environment within a video game. These 3D models are a huge leap in technology over the V-Pet sprites and these over several dozen designs really shined in this iteration of The Digital World. Often the monsters in this series are known for looking "cool" such as Leomon so it is worth mentioning even the cuter designs like Monzaemon look absolutely adorable in this game. The graphics, soundtrack, and presentation of this game are pretty strong in my opinion.        

              “ This chart helps you raise every kind of Digimon available! ”

 I truly appreciate this game even more today then I did in the year 2000 when I played it for the very first time and there is so much more that I could muse over with this game. Now with all this being said there are many bugs and glitches in this game so be warned this gemstone can be rough around the edges.   Overall I will cut myself short to say proudly that this game stands up to the test of time and the influence of this game is felt to this day. Worth mentioning that "Digimon World: Next Order" serves as a true sequel to this beloved PlayStation title and yet as good as it may be the new title does not replace the original game. I'm urging anybody who has not played this game yet to seek it out and give it a chance. Better yet find the Digimon World Randomizer created by the game's devout community which adds many features and fixes nearly every game bug, all things in service of making the experience even better. There is even chatter from the current producer of Digimon video games that we can expect either a remaster or remake of this beloved title someday. Which makes sense considering Digimon is even more popular globally than ever now. No matter how you experience this game it is worth playing for any Digimon fan even just one time. 

Digimon World is an incredible adventure worthy of being called stardust.

Hi girl! May i ask you one slightly evil question ? I just got monumentally f*cked by a coworker and he took (stole) credit for something that i made and now he is receiving awards and praises and i have been cryng tru out the last few months and i would like to ask is there any way how karma can come back for him? i have read that saturn is in charge with that - mine is in pisces in the 6 house , but from what i see since he worked with me his career florish and i am now jobless and angry . I have chiron in the 1 and i dont wanna fill like a cursed motherfucker but will a bitch ever get her happy turn ? my mars is in pisces too and all i do is be afraid and ones i get the ball to go after my dreams i end up getting my work stolen and other getting all the benefits ( I FUCKING HATE MY MARS PLACEMENT) like i feel so defeated so yeah sorry if my ask is filled with anger i know you shoud not wish unwell on anyone i am just asking will he get his karma? every person that i have met in my life have told me this creepy sentence my whole life - You bring luck to everyone you come in contact with! ( BUT I DONT FEEL THAT FOR MYSELF!!!!) like my jupiter is in the 4 house in the capricorn for fuck sake - does last 20 years felt like HELL and i thouth this year was about to be my year insted my hard work gave SO MUCH POWER to other people and i am left with nothing i feel bitter and sad ... are people with jupiter in capricorn doomed to never have anything :(( and also i only have 2 placements touching my jupiter /jupiter square node and jupiter trine venus , i have no idea what does are i know squares are bad :((( but i am tired of cryng wail the other people are getting praise ... i am SO SORRY for the the long ask my heart is just hurting

Hii sweetie!! Yes, Saturn is in charge of karma, so if someone does you bad since your Saturn is in the 6th house it would mean their daily routine could get messy, they could have health problems or something could happen to their pets for example. However, it isn't something you should rely on since it can take so long for it to actually happen, and in the end, it really doesn't benefit you much, does it? They could develop for example some gastrointestinal issues, but in the end, it won't give you the recognition you needed at the time. + I noticed karma for the people who wronged you comes only when you let it go and when you don't care about it as much.

I have Pisces Mars and while it can be challenging, I think that as you get older you'll see how useful it can be too :) I see that people often think Pisces Mars is vulnerable and fragile but I believe as we age many Pisces Mars individuals get tougher and learn how to use positive sides of their Mars sign to their advantage - you'll learn how to adapt to any situation, even really bad ones and you'll see how resilient and intuitive you'll get over time. The neuroticism also slowly goes down too haha.

In my opinion, just be patient and work on becoming the best version of yourself. Daydreaming about success and wishing it to happen soon won't make it happen, determination and focus even after you fail many times will!! You have beautiful placements - Jupiter in the 4th house (you might have a very nice family one day, good relationship with your children!!), Jupiter in Capricorn can indicate career success too, Jupiter trine Venus could make you attract a very nice romantic partner (and it also could mean you could have many romantic choices). You have Jupiter square node with could indicate that you might have some karmic debts, but once you pay them off things could start going your way (and once you learn your life lesson).

It will get better, hang on!!

[youremyheaven]

I don’t think all venusians are bad but I also had a share of bad experiences with them. I don’t know if I should drag the women or the men first. I’d talk about the women first because they’re in my family and it’s a more neutral point of view than hate or a one time experience. My purva ashada stellium grandmother used to starve her children too and is extremely cheap. Tbh I don’t think she has a bad relationship with her daughters. She seems to get along with them pretty well. However my mom who’s purva phalguni moon has similar behavior as the previous ano. She’s very jealous and envious of other women constantly comparing herself to other women and she needs to be the “best looking” among others. Otherwise she lose her mind. She’s very image conscious and she’s a complete different person with strangers or my friends. She wants to be seen as the cool mom. She also assumes every single man she interacts with has some sort of romantic interest in her. She also says phrases like “you’ll never be as attractive as used to be” like even if It was true and I was a walking troll she shouldn’t be saying this to her daughter ? I also find it weird how every single Venusian woman I talk to is extremely fake ? Like they’re obsessed with status and want to be seen as higher or richer than what they actually are. They love to see people beneath them. They strive to be the best in that way. They’re very superficial and they would definitely befriend someone or be around someone for the aesthetic or for what they could get from them. They would take shamelessly from people without giving back and when you called them out they be like “I didn’t ask you to” when they truly did pressure you into it. I think for men, most Venusian men I met, they would be very polite, kind helpful and try to please me as much as possible. Like they would get interested in my hobbies and try to get close to me with some hidden intention or purpose to it. When I don’t get fooled by their act, it’s almost as their mask drops and I see another version of them that is much cruel and mean ? It’s like they want to “punish” you. They would paint themselves as the victim because you didn’t give them what they wanted or desired from you. Whatever that is. They would tarnish your reputation or come for you in settings. Now, I don’t think I had many Venusian friends (only 2 ) that are woman but they both would lie and act as if they’re “rich” even if they’re not and I already know they’re not and I don’t even care because I never bring such things up.

💀💀💀u have described so many people i know, its crazyyy,, one girl i went to college with who had Saturn in Bharani atmakaraka was just like u described. she was upper middle class at best but she wanted to be seen as rich so bad?? she'd insert random details to make herself sound 🤑🤑she spoke about how much she spent on clothes even tho she always wore the same stuff on repetition?? (im not being a hater, her comments always just made no sense??) she'd talk about how her family only fed their dog specially bought meat and it was just ??? i hated the way she spoke about money and same goes for another Venusian girlie i know, she wont shut up about money and always exaggerates for good effect?? its so cringe to me ngl. theyre also the type of people who want to put others down to feel better about themselves. I think Venusians in general don't like it when someone tries to imply that they're on the same "level" so they always put others down to establish superiority. every Venusian woman I know is arrogant and conceited in some ways. one time the atmakaraka chick told me that her dad bought her a new car and i was like ok good for you? and she always spoke about how its her car when it was actually just a new car for the fam after they disposed off the old one?? lol?

one time my friends and i were eating out and a really cute kid (5-6 yr old girl) and her mom came in, all my friends said that the kid resembled me quite a bit and the Bharani ak girl said "yeah she's chubby like you" 🤡🤡🤡first of all the kid wasn't "chubby" by a long shot, and even if she was who tf says that about a 5yr old??? she just wanted to establish dominance? and did not like the fact that others thought we resembled each other lmao?? what a complete asshole, imagine insulting a literal child and your friend?? Venusian women do not like it when other women seem to have the upper hand in any way. They are not girls girls, i have said this before and i'll say it again Venusians are the OG "im not like other girls" girl.

im so sorry you went through all that anon. i wish you healing and peace<3

[automatisma]

Discovered the allure of Topsters & made a chart of the games that significantly influenced my tastes. Not really a top 25 although I believe most of the games of the list are good. Ramblings under the cut.

TLOZ: Twilight Princess was my first Zelda as a child & while not a particularly interesting Zelda gameplay-wise it cemented my fascination with that kind of dark and decadent aesthetic.

Persona 3 is again the first Persona I've ever played. Not the best & with many larger-than-life sterotypical characters but it does have a lovely apocalyptic atmosphere and the sexiest dungeon concept bar none (sorry persona 4 tv world you were not It)

Hexcells is my favourite puzzle game. Perfect difficulty curve, minimal & functional aesthetic, little spatiality sense required to finish it. The whole trilogy is honestly brilliant.

Disco Elysium literally what is there to say about DE that hasn't already been said. Masterful dialogues and characters, deeply political while being smart and complex about it, it has one of the most interesting fantasy worldbuildings of recent memory.

Final Fantasy X was my first FF. Bizarre & unique if nonsensical world, great party interactions and often dumb but really really rich with overarching thematical meanings so

We Know The Devil I believe it's up to personal taste in the end whether you'll like this or Heaven Will be Mine more, but to me the minimal religious setup & the very realistic teenage dialogue take the cake. Also Saturn is #so me #releatable #girlsbeinggirls

Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 I bet everyone's sick of seeing it on their dash but what can I say I adore its day-to-day routine and the character subplots and its sound design and the beetle battles and

The House in Fata Morgana is maybe my favourite visual novel of all time. Often cheesy, frequently melodramatic, the epic highs and lows of its writing did not stop me from loving its intricate fantasy plot and multifacted characters.

Valhalla cyberpunk ok too long of a name. The bartending part was fun, the fauxanime thing is well MY thing and the #quiet cyberpunk adult disillusionment of its dialogues stuck with me in some way. Not great but really solid & it worked a lot for me for reasons I am not entirely sure of to this day.

Danganronpa is a terrible and complicated horror b-movie with cartoon characters and stupid but captivating mysteries. I genuinely believe the trials are absolutely cool and adrenaline inducing though & I would love more of this except better I guess

Darkest Dungeon a game in which every inch of its systems and aesthetic choices works in perfect synch to convey the hopelessness of this brand of lovecraftian horror. Also the turn-based combat is soooo fucking good

Final Fantasy VII THE final fantasy ecc ecc what can I say. One of the few games I played when the stereotypical version of the characters I saw in popular culture was so much less interesting than the actual story beats and the direction the plot went in. Packed with genre-defining moments and lovingly mystic at times.

Pyre is probably my favourite Supergiant game even though Hades is far superior in gameplay terms. The peculiar worldbuilding and the choices you make are really something unique to this one and they very much stick with you during your playthrough and even after that.

The World Ends with You when I played it Neku and Joshua were on my mind 24/7 I was on that fujoshi grindset which is quite peculiar for me. Weird and fun gameplay too but to me the main thing was the killer premise, its characters and its commitment to peculiarity in the JRPG landscape at every turn.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria weird ass sequel of a game I didn't play that spawned my love for this kind of combat. Perfect blend of tactical and reaction-based that's usually a mess but here it works and its glorious. The story was whatever but frankly who cares

Black Closet is probably the most obscure game on this list & I love it. I adore the setting, the writing of some of the subplots, the tight mechanics and even its wonky UI designs. Try it and be captivated by the playful eroticism of mystery and power NOW

Ib foundational as everyone knows. Kind of tied with Yume Nikki in my mind but in the end I played Ib more and I was in awe of its finale systems and the genuinely anxiety inducing gameplay moments. Epitome of you're a kid and something fucked up happens.

Analogue: A Hate Story my favourite Love game even though it's only vaguely sci-fi. Funniest thing about it it's probably that its title works even if it's a silly pun on her previous game

999 I like Danganronpa so this one was a given since it's even less stupid. Puzzles are ok but I was here for the characters & plot because I am a mystery junkie at heart.

Lisa: The Painful managed to work with the legacy of Earthbound without making a lol so random uninspired clone. Profoundly different in its subject matter while incorporating a lot of the bizarre & offbeat humor of its inspiration. It also deals with its themes in a quite brutal and blunt if not at all tactful way which i really respect.

The Stanley Parable is one of the first things I've played as a returned prodigal PC gamer and it blew me away at the time. Full of neat little secrets & mysteries and with a lot to say about the relationship between the player, the game and the narrative frameworks we encase our lives in.

Earthbound is my love and joy and nothing else will ever come close to recreate what I experienced playing it, which is why I never played Mother 3.

Digital Devil Saga yeah I've never played an SMT to the end but I played this duology and I was deeply impressed by its combat system and its weirdass apocalyptic world and even my party of broken people. I was on board for that Gainax ending baby

Dragon Age: Origins was the only good DA actually. I am also the only person who hasn't played it for the worldbuilding and the lore because I'll be frank it's run of the mill fantasy stuff except for some things but I adored my party and the choices I could make and some plot moments so yeah. Still a fan of the saga despite everything

Opus Magnum is the only Zachtronics game I've played but I'll have to play Hackers one of these days. I still have all the gifs saved and I am NOT a minmaxing person irl but this one sinked its claws into my skin and for thirty hours I was an engineer

[cyborb]

there have been some asks sitting unanswered in my inbox for an embarrassingly long time so I'm just going to go through and answer a bunch of them at once haha.

Sada and Turo / Paldea

now that the dlc is out I can play around with my own version of paldea's story and the professors (that I may or may not actually talk about), but they won't be in the rainbow rocket stuff with supersymmetry. "officially" at least. maybe I'll draw something for fun, but I don't intend them to actually be in rr like the rest. they're more interesting to me within the story of paldea, especially with the ai aspects and ... other things going on there.

but to the anons who sent me these: those ideas are cool and honestly you should pursue them yourself!

Lusamine

absolutely yes. in the base universe, her "unification" with nihilego kills her pretty quickly. iota lusamine is luckier since her nihilego seems to prefer keeping her around for longer. slow-acting vs fast-acting poisons, I suppose. by the time lusamine is picked up by rr, it's been about 6 months since she became jellyfish. who knows how much time she has left but her mental (and physical) state will continue to deteriorate along the way. an unsurprising consequence of willingly jumping into the mouth of a parasite

possibly? I haven't given that much thought tbh. considering lillie and guzma's proximity to lusamine when she goes motherbeast, they'd both be lucky to make it out alive hahaha. but I could see all three of them trying to help people and pokemon in the UB-overrun world too

honestly, no clue. I don't even think she knows, and she definitely doesn't care. who needs regular pokemon when she's got ultra beasts now! if lillie is still around she might have taken in a few of them herself though.

Other AU stuff

I've actually made a post about team galactic here!

one fun fact about each of them:

maria/mars is giovanni and ariana's first child, and she ran from her home in kanto when she was 16 to become a pokemon trainer and get away from her parents. sorry silver (she hasn't contacted him in a while).

juno/jupiter makes traditional (hisuian) style pokeballs as a hobby despite the fact that they absolutely are not practical to actually use anymore. but they look nice

sterling/saturn helps run the in-universe equivalent of pokemon showdown because he's a nerd. he enjoys simulated battles more than the real thing most of the time

great news: the rainbow rocket invasion all his fault!

by that I mean the choice of the base universe for invasion wasn't entirely arbitrary; rainbow rocket didn't just Show Up and hope this universe had what they wanted. beforehand, someone from rainbow rocket (either giovanni or archer, maybe even colress) scouted things out, and approached faba for information about the general state of the world and necrozma in particular. faba essentially sells out the universe (and aether's work with necrozma) in exchange for the promise of power and whatever tantalizing rewards the rr emissary offers haha. it's possible some of this involves planting a device to let rr come back to the right universe when ready too. what faba is up to when everything is going down in rr is not something that I've thought about, but he definitely gets found out for his actions leading up to it. oops!

unfortunately probably not. the rr stuff is happening on the other side of the planet and I can't think of a situation which might result in them getting to meet up. I'm not enough of an expert on the two of them to say how such a meeting would play out either, but it would definitely be... interesting considering their own universe's version of the other person has been dead for several years.

rose would probably be the least upset about it but cyrus wins the award for most upset (he has control issues). lysandre absolutely would have the most violent response to it though

Compliments

while I'm not going to share the collection of complimentary messages I've gotten over time, I want everyone to know that I really appreciate hearing that you enjoy my ideas and art! it's encouraging and I'm glad people like my pokemon playground hahaha. and that applies to tags too! it's always great to see... I don't always get around to actually answering the stuff in my inbox (whether it's actual questions or otherwise) but rest assured I do see it!

[birthclod]

top 5 silmira characters? educate the masses my friend

so uh this got a LOT longer than i anticipated because im very normal about this series. anyways. this is all under the cut

megido and har birthclod

obvious answers. they're my blorbos so of course they're #1. they fucking hate each other <3

megido is far and beyond my favorite ofc. he dresses very classy but is self-motivated and ruthless. he has a rose motif. his idle animation is him shimmying. just look at him. he looks like if jet was a piece of shit (he already is, but not an ~Evil~ piece of shit)

he turns into a fucked up mutated version of himself if his brother dies bc har stabilizes the balance between their attributes so he becomes a weird looking dog version of himself. it's my favorite thing in the whole world.

and har (or hal) is your main villain. he wants to rule the world as it is in spite of his brother who wants it to change back. he's a terrible dad (and yes, the guardian angels do call him dad(dy), it's true). doesn't care what sacrifices are made as long as he can accomplish what he wants to.

also he has muppet mouth sometimes. it's great.

2. zohar metatron / sandalphon

treasure literally gave us this bigender/genderfluid LEGEND and said "here's your rival, they can just switch between attributes on a whim like you" and then doesn't play it for laughs at all. they're like your jealous sibling who learned how to whistle before you did and then when you show them you can also whistle they're like NO FAIR I DID IT FIRST.

also, they can turn into this against their will.

it's supposedly very painful. they have no control over it and they don't even want to fight the protagonist at that point. but it does have the best boss music in the game.

3. faust and sara

i know i keep putting pairs together but I CAN'T HELP IT there's so many good characters in this game. also they're in literally the same area so i should be allowed this one

faust and sara are both hosts of their respective game shows in media city. faust is silhouette and his show revolves around shadow puppetry used as real objects to fight against shyna (including, i kid you not, a fucking tank). sara is mirage and her show is a gambling show with an enormous slot machine. faust gets very little screentime and dialogue but he's just. fucking cool? look at him??? i have no screenshots of his boss fight sadly but it's such a wicked concept. also at the end he turns into a bomb and fucking? explodes??? for the ratings to go up. insane.

sara gets a little more time and she's awesome. here's what she really looks like:

she doesn't like being touched (meaning you can't rob her for money for long, an actual thing you do in this game to get money) and she's so fucking snarky i love her. here's my favorite voice clip of hers, it plays when you finish her fight:

4. serah (featuring delia)

very close name with sara but don't be fooled, they are VERY different! giant fucking butterfly woman!!!

serah was the very first guardian angel, and although it didn't make her the messiah, it did make her a gigantic fucking butterfly. her japanese name is seraphim. you can only fight her under the specific instance that during the last fight with zohar the time limit runs out before you beat them, and then har deletes (re: kills) them in front of you and brings out serah as a more "worthy adversary". also, this is her unique boss theme:

i say featuring delia on the title because delia is connected to her and it'd feel kind of wrong to mention one and not the other. their relationship is only ever implied and not stated outright, but the implication is that they were (are?) married, especially before serah became a guardian angel. the title "your wife is an angel" is referential to this, and har even threatens delia that if he didn't comply he would hurt his precious serah. (in the original japanese, the translation for that part is that he would be forced to "forward" serah; it sounds like an email, but it's supposed to imply he'd put her at the front lines of battle). also, i just wanted to show off delia because he is the third nose guy in this game

you wanna know what his boss fight is? if you guessed "you fight him on his game show where he makes soup and you throw silhouettes into his soup to hurt him", you'd be correct!

5. dynamis

i have nothing to say. just look at her.

she just wants to sell you some flowers. pretty freakin' flowers. :)

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

pablo (a lad, honestly. look at him. absolutely harmless until he turns into a wolf.)

prinsdams (you never fight them because they eat you. also the one on the right has a surfer dude voice it's amazing. he calls shyna little dudette and everything.)

shyna nera shyna (how could i ever leave out our main girl?)

[danpuff-ao3]

My birthday is coming soon (May 8, in fact!), and I'll be turning 31.

Birthdays are always exciting to me! Mine and others'. Holidays are all well and good, but what's better than special days for special people?? And while my feelings towards myself aren't always kind, it does my soul good to have a reason to celebrate myself. Birthdays make a good excuse for all manner of frivolities!

As it happens, my solar return (for my astrology lovers) is on May 9 this year. So of course it makes sense to celebrate both days, right? 😄 Solar returns are like personal New Years, as I read in an article recently; a time for reflection on what brought us here, and looking forward to what's ahead.

In the past I've paid little mind to solar returns, but this feels like a good year for it. I'm fresh out of my Saturn return (big yikes), and working really hard on being kinder to myself, and other methods of self-care.

The original version of this post was a bit more maudlin and self-deprecating, which serves no one, so instead I'm here to share only the good bits. The bits that deserve more focus.

This year, I'm giving myself the gift of 2 weeks worth of PTO! 2 weeks of no work! The first week will be a much needed staycation, while the second week (my birthday week!) will be spent in Orlando, Florida with my partner. Also: May means Snarry-a-Thon, and truly what better gift can a gal have than the gift of Snarry?

My three decades on earth have been challenging, to say the least, but I got through them. I've grown a lot in my time. I was a girl with grandiose plans and insurmountable fears. Now I'm a woman who sees magic in everything, and who moves ahead in spite of fear. I'm a soft and sensitive lady, badly bruised by life, but I keep my heart and my mind open all the same. I have so much love in me I share with others, that I'm learning now to share with myself.

There is so much joy and pleasure I've found in this world, even in the darkest of my days. I've told many stories, and I've danced to many songs, and I've made a heck of a lot of cookies. There is always something to laugh over, or smile at. There are always adventures to be had, big and small.

Today I'm going to spend time with family. This upcoming week I'm going to spend time with myself, resting and letting myself be. I plan to reach Level 31 having the time of my life with the love of my life. I choose to be thankful for coming as far as I have. And I choose to be thankful for myself, and all of my strangeness and silliness.

Hello! I want to participate in your game :)

My question would be: how am i going to meet my next boyfriend?

My two songs suggestions are:

1. This first one is probably in my top 5 of songs I've discovered this year. The vibe is sultry, just gorgeous.

2. I just listen to this next song if i were to want to cry lol:

Hello dear

Loved the songs you sent. I mean yeah Saturn one is kinda gloomy yet soothing. I liked it.

So coming to your reading

The reading is, I guess, telling like a story and also giving clues at the same time.

So let's go. Ok, so first of all, the story starts with a girl who looks through her pocket and finds her wallet to be empty. She gets frustrated and slaps her own head. She feels like she doesn't have any money to spend and gets frustrated and leaves for work. Then, days pass by as her financial condition gets bad. But this girl doesn't lose hope, and she continues to push through. What she comes across is a massive transformation. She doesn't have enough but starts making peace with whatever she has. She starts to focus on the smallest of things and the smallest of assets, and her life starts to feel way better. She starts to leave unhealthy attachments towards her materistica desires and even relationships throughout the process and stabilizes her mind. Moves away from mental inner turmoil. Then, all of a sudden, she comes across a hand offering a cup of love and warmth . She meets someone who wants to be all of hers . This happens when she starts to focus on herself and her own development, trying to accomplish something she has been trying to do for years, and she also notices the change . This happens when she puts all her time on energy and investment in herself. Takes care of her things. She meets someone who will be there for her.

Let's know this is🤭

This person is go-getter. They don't think much about others and would go for whatever they want to pursue in life. Whether love money or family. They are speedy and strategic and also very smart. Very charming yet cunning. They can be really playful in nature. They're hardworking just like you. They are very protective when it comes to saving their things they consider precious and important. Besides this, they can be a real softie. They can be very beautiful looking overall. You will think they are really pretty. Like traditionally. They can be very emotional when it comes to their people. Possible leo gemini or libra placements.

That's your reading

Thank you for participating in the game🌟🌟

Lots of love💗💗

Edgy OC asks for Dr. Jester!! 2, 4, 10, 22, 23, 24, 25.

>w> aaaand 13 n 7

Thank you for sending some questions. It took a while to answer.

2. What's something about your OC that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them?

This will be hard to answer, because what I’ve observed about Dr. Jester seems normal to me. Hm, I could think of a few things. 1) He thinks he’s cute. He’s very confident. 2) He likes dinosaurs. 3) He can speak to the small animals Sonic rescued in the classic games. He took a liking to a bird called Chicky (like the Flicky.) Instant friendship.

4. When scared, does your OC fight, flee, freeze or fawn?

When I read this question, I didn’t know what it meant by fawn? I looked it up and I still don’t get it. Anyway, he usually fled when confronted directly. I don’t know if that’s true fear, or if he’s just avoiding unnecessary damage by retreating. Fighting is Saturn’s job… Why should he be scared of a dozen super-powered children?

(Send in the minions so you can escape. Predictable.)

Knuckles blasted through the windshield of his flying machine and he responded by lunging at him. He simply accepted his demise when the Egg Carrier failed catastrophically. Do you think he was scared then?  

Back when I first revisited the story in August of 2022, I wanted Eggman to punish what he saw as disloyalty from Dr. Jester, and destroy him. I thought they'd fight since Dr. Jester had a chaos emerald, but that didn't go anywhere. Now I think he would freeze. Sure, he’s used underhanded tricks when he thought Eggman had wronged him, but he’d never kill him. He had been holding on to the friendship they had long ago. I guess freeze is the answer?

He is not immune to sentimentality.

10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

He’s already from an alternate universe. My sibling suggested an alternate storyline where Dr. Jester gets to the Dark Emerald first and frees Chaos. He doesn't like things he can't control.

I think Dr. Jester should be in a vampire AU! 

22. What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

Neutral Evil.

23. What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express?

I think the answer is surprise, or fear. 

He can express anger just fine. He’s been dejected, elated… He's animated.

24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

I’ve thought about this before. No matter what, he would have been interested in synthetic body parts. He could’ve been a prosthetist (one who makes and fits prosthetics), or developed very reliable pacemakers. What if he didn’t take it too far? He could’ve been a generous doctor that helped a lot of people live full lives--highly recommended! Such a shame.

25. What is your favorite thing about your OC?

He’s so funny. 

13. If you met your OC, would the two of you get along?

He can be civil. That doesn't mean he’d like me. However, he’d gain nothing from hurting me. That’s good for me, I guess. 

Dr. Jester did meet a version of me in the story. He ignored me! I cared about him a lot! As a kid, I avoided writing/showing scenes in which he got hurt. Isn't that love?

Since it’s still fresh on my mind, he would’ve offered to save my cat. Or, maybe he’d put it as “extending her life indefinitely.” No matter how good his designs are, he will never make a robot that looks, sounds, and feels like a real cat. He wouldn’t understand this. He's so detached. He’d take it personally. 

7. What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them? 

He used to be alive. That’s the biggest change. I had an old drawing of him that kinda felt like a “what-if?” scenario. I drew two Dr. Jesters, one of them was NOT a robot. He looked so friendly! What happened to him? I spent so much time keeping his design the same, so appearance-wise, little has changed. At least he has a bit of a background now.

Hey! I hope you’re doing well..

I have this frustration that my career won’t get any better & I have this Saturn in 10th but in another web I checked said it’s in my 11th 🤦🏼‍♀️

I tried many times in different workplace, with my kind heart & pure intention but all I got was people bad mouthing about me, sabotaging my work, and treated me like garbage. I just want to have a stable career since I have to help my parents with their debt but I feel like this gonna take forever and I kind of hopeless towards my career 😔

Please encourage me & convince me that I will be okay 😞

Oh sweetheart, I feel it! I have Saturn in 11th as well. 10th in sidereal. It conjuncts my NN, Uranus, and Lilith so I know this feeling all too well.

But you know what? You ARE going to be ok. You just need to reframe your mindset a little. I may be tooting my horn here a bit, but I hope this inspires and encourages you to toot your horn loud and proud too.... This is going to be long post, but I don't care. I feel that you need to hear this, babes!

I learned real quick that, in a working environment, I was a good resource to have. Even in my first retail job, they wanted to give me my own store to manage after being there for a year and I was only 19 at the time. I passed because I ended getting an agent in SF. Any type of job I had, no matter how lucrative, I still attracted haters (I think that's bc of my Lilith though, not saturn😅)

I was kind hearted and pure intentioned as well. No one cared that I knew how to be successful in the work force because I've been hustling since I was a kid. I've been grinding since I was 12 because, a lot like you, I had to support my family. My peers didn't see that though. Not that I shared anyways lol. So even though I knew how to attract my own version of success, you know what else that attracts? Jealousy. Jealous, hating ass people who didn't have the same drive or work ethic lol

No matter how kind or pure your intentions may be, there will always be haters in your midst. A cruel reality of the society that we live in is that there are going to be people who wish you the best...just as long as you're not doing better than them. If you do, they just lose their shit and resort to weird antics to get to the metaphorical "top" that doesn't fcking exist btw

People saw me as competition. Not their peer. And I'm afraid the same is happening to you. So now it's time for you to own your power. Now that doesn't mean to stop being kind or good intentioned, that is actually a strength you have. Beautiful one at that. Don't ever stop being that. But you also have to be a little savage too. If someone is bad mouthing about you or sabotaging your work, stand up for yourself and put them in their place. Own. Your. Power. They act like that because they see the power and skill in you that you do not and they will try to tear you down because of it. Don't let them get the best of you. You're an adult, don't let people resort to elementary school antics to wig you out. Kindness doesn't mean weakness, so let out that fire when you need to. You're not a victim. You're a savage. Act like one 😌💪

It wasn't until l was 28 that I realized working with and for other people wasn't my jam lol so I went back to my 12 year old hustling ways and now I'm earning money by doing things I'm passionate about and, most importantly, for myself my kid too but that's not the point of this post lmao

Who knows, maybe it's not your jam either? 😉

I hope this encouraged you a bit!! 💜🫶

2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD: Review

And she has a diesel version too but he probably wants this after a while cuz everything else sucks it's true that gas engines get gone through you rev it up and it beats it up and he knows about it it's happened forever to him and for every truck is driven you are awesome everything is just terrible so this would come later too he says and Allison he thought of something it's kind of like a disappearing act and the people want to say they didn't die and these people are not dead they're in tuned so they'll say that and I'll try and put someone in there like a clone and fake their death so they say that. And the first candidate would be the Renault. And the the foreigners would do that sponsoring. And down the line it would go to the golf is not true they're thinking Saturn that car is old 2000 2012. And that's getting there that he hardly used it and you can get parts aftermarket so there's a couple things but Saturn is something they all want to focus on and they don't know if Ernie is out or not and it's a question Saturn or the renaults after analysis associated with JC and Mary. Saturn is associated with JC and Mary and the clans and the status up there they might start off with the Renault but they usually use up with cars Arnie had done and that is the last of them

Thor Freya

Olympus

That's some wicked code and I do think that he probably would have left it to you and they say that he didn't have a will he didn't say anything to my son about leaving anything. It's not really typical but it's typical of d for her to hold on to it and for our son not to care it's her stuff because it's him and that might be kind of a rough car to drive around same with her adult same with the Renault and actually the golf too you keep calling him his son. But that's what it's like I guess but he's not supposed to get anything from someone passing or something

Cammilla

And it's kind of true but he said the last part but that's not what's been happening when you say they say and they want to know if he got what dad had no with Lori had she didn't have much no she had an ability to ride so they want to know the difference so they would usually ask Saturn first then the ability to ride yes so it goes back to Arnie and the will and that was a hell of a trip and Kathy would probably leave in the car and she might as if she thought it would help it get out and you know she was nice to him didn't really give him much it's not true she gave him $25 every Christmas no on his birthday and know what it means so he would think of her it's better than nothing so they have to check that

Mac

I did check it and there is a will and supposed to be a reading and all that stuff it's supposed to be a while ago but I didn't happen so I guess I'm involved

Lily yeah we know who has the other one it is not Mac it's trying to read my hard John remillard and he's wondering how the hell that's going to work but we get that

This is how it goes this makes a lot more sense he's saying and there's a few other things too they want to keep these two down and they want to get the car out and then say they can fake their death that's how Tom it is so we that's how dumb it is we are going to proceed and we know which one it is excuse me and we know why they're saying it and he know about Arnie and not about Kathy and he asked another car is not damaged okay and Ellie is laughing and wouldn't get it and they're fighting Ellie would not get it cuz they're fighting
