#I somehow had a feeling the sign known for eccentricity and individualism would get a metal that's known to be weird since it's liquid

astrology observations🌙

✧･ﾟ:*✧*:･ﾟ✧ I haven’t been able to post much lately because I’ve fallen ill. Please do not repost, plagiarize, “reword” my observations. ✧･ﾟ:*✧*:･ﾟ

People with Taurus placements especially the Moon may very much love when their food is very well put together (pleasing to look at)

People with sun square moon may not have a good emotional connection with their father / figure. One parental figure could be seen as better fitting than the other.

People with Leo Venuses are often very well liked and people tend to admire them, they care a lot about aesthetics and how they are put together (especially outfits) so they may love getting compliments on their physical beauty or arts.

Capricorn moons could have a had a connection / relationship that changed them emotionally and perhaps they are more guarded now because of so. I’ve also noticed a lot of Capricorn moons prefer to have small amount of friends that they are at least emotional connected to, they are mostly introverted.

People with Venus in 6th tend to have low self esteem and tend to make fun of their Venusian traits. A lot also overwork themselves to feel “good”, they’re over achievers but at what cost? They tend to put unrealistic standards on themselves.

Pisces placements because their sister sign is Virgo, also tend to overwork themselves, but in a much more negative way they feel as if they need to “achieve” something to feel whole.

Cancer moons may be secretive but are very loyal to their loved ones, they love checking up on their loved ones even if they haven’t talked in a bit they would initiate it.

People with Saturn in Virgo are very picky and are prone to not liking what they do often, they feel as if they have to be better. Ironically, these people are very good at work and details.

People usually trust Jupiter dominants when it comes to knowledge & information. They are also seen as “lucky” by others.

Cancer mars could be physically on the weaker side. (Check other placements)

Pisces rising women tend to be very slim with somewhat of a curve but not too curvaceous, they tend to have very nice waistline. Even if they’re tall they’re seen as “small” somehow.

People with Mars in 6th, when sick could be very aggressive. They could have very loud coughs, etc.

People with Venus in 6th when sick / ill may like to work to feel better. People with Mercury in 6th for example may like to write / communicate their thoughts.

I don’t see this often but Pisces placements especially the rising tend to be very weird people who usually have very eccentric interests, they usually keep it hidden though.

People with Eros (#433) / Venus / Mars in 9th could find themselves getting into hookups in travel or foreign places. (At least romantic experiences)

People with Mercury in 9th tend to be very knowledgeable people, knowing a lot about anything. They remember facts from years ago, it’s hard to fool them.

People with Pholus asteroid (#5145) very prominent in their chart tend to be self destructive / changing. towards where it touches. For example; Person has Leo rising with Pholus opposites their rising, they may find themselves changing their hair a lot (Leo risings are known for hair). It works somewhat like an Uranus.

Libra placements especially the Moon are very artistic and creative people, they have very pleasing thoughts they could put into work and can be liked because of this.

People with Virgo risings / placements tend to have a sense of humor where they make fun of themselves a lot, it doesn’t bother them. They also like teasing their friends.

(Aquarius dominants / Uranus in 1st / (Perhaps dominants) individuals tend to have had something about them that was usually noticeable and touched on from people. Example; At 12 years old they were 5’6 (tall for their age). Or very nice eyes, something is usually remarkable from these people. People don’t forget them easily.

People with Cancer Moon / Rising tend to have people who confide in them easily. They also create a sense of nostalgia for a lot of people. (They are like home)

Aquarius venuses only want a best friend & lover in both.

People with Mercury in 8th (Or Scorpio Mercury) tend to hide their secrets & own thought very well. It’s hard for someone to truly know what’s going on in their thoughts.

People with Uranus dominance / Aquarius in 4th or Aquarius dominance could’ve grown up with early access to technology / technology was around them.

Leo placements love unique things and hate unoriginal & copies. This is because their sister sign is Aquarius. They both hate unoriginal stuff. Leo placements like when things have their own sparkle too it, hence a lot of people tend to copy people with Leo placements or degrees. Especially Leo Venuses are very admired by people!

It’s said the sign of your 11th is how your friend sees you / how you take care of your friends. What do you think?

It’s crazy how some people describe Aries placements as chaotic while others describe them as exciting and things of that nature. This is because only some people can handle Aries energy!

You could put an Aquarius placement with 100 people who are very different and they’d still feel as if they don’t fit in.

Mercury - Lillith aspects (Or Scorpio Mercury) love to solve mystery. They may love to watch mystery shows. Somewhere where they can investigate.

Scorpio dominants / placements may keep their social media very private. May have private accounts or include very little info about them on media.

Mars in cancer individuals tend to be more on the physically weaker side. (Check other placements)

Whatever the sign / planet is in the 12th house will influence how things end for you in your life. Example; relationships. Someone with Aquarius in 12th or Uranus may experience connections tearing apart for very weird reasons & unexpected.

Whatever planet is in your 1st, you will attract or / and people confuse you of. Example; Uranus in 1st may attract a lot of Aquarius energy or /and be confused as an Aquarius placement often.

Virgo Mars men may like complete domination over their partner in sex.

This is not said / noted enough but Pisces placements (especially the rising) tend to be very weird individuals who may have unconventional interests. However, they’re very good at hiding some weirder parts of themselves at first.

People with Venus in 3rd may have had crushes easily in their childhood or people had crushes on them easily. (Early education). They may also have siblings who are considered very attractive. They could’ve been popular / well liked as well.

People with Saturn in 3rd usually have some sort of difference in education wether they started late (usually) or perhaps earlier. They tend to be older than their classmates.

Capricorn placements as mother or fathers could be harsh on the child. (Heard stories, underdeveloped energy ONLY)

People with Sun in 2nd may have some drive or attraction towards making a lot of money this lifetime.

Aries placements hate seeing their friends dwell, they tend to love to motivate their friends!!! “Start working out, going out etc”. They tend to like making healthier habits for their friends.

Natives with Pluto in 2nd could be falsely accused of making money in a wrong way or their self worth could be misinterpreted a lot. (Will be making a post about this if people want it🥳)

People tend to love and look up to people with Sun in 10th & 11th & Sun dominants. They usually inspire & may others feel more confident.

Sagittarius midheavens may be a spiritual teacher.

Check your midheaven degree for farther insight on career this lifetime!

Libra placements (especially the women) tend to attract a lot of envious people who spread rumors.

Neptune dominants / Neptune in 1st have a way of attracting people but they are usually not aware, some can be blind to obviously things like red flags. People are usually attracted to these natives but they don’t know why either.

Leo risings / placements (developed) know when to cut off negative energy / people in their life!! They will cut off a toxic friend and will never look back!

People with Aries in 2nd are respectfully, very bad with their money. They should learn how to save more or be wiser about money.

If you have aries degrees in your chart, look at where it is! It will make a much more direct / blunt influence (1,13,25,37,49). Example; Mercury in Aries degree will make the native much more straight to the point and could shock people with what they say.

Cancer placement men especially Mars may like the idea of impregnating their partner.

Women with Mars - Ascendant / Prominent Mars & Lilith are seen as very sexy & desirable by the opposite sex.

Sagittarius placements could’ve been trouble makers or less serious when young. (Especially Moon) they can be hit with the harsh realization of things later on in life and could be filled with duties.

Sagittarius moons (And fire moons generally) love the thrill of new experiences in love & they usually love the chase. (they also love experimenting new things with their partners)

Capricorn moons may have had a mother who worked a lot, the father figure may have motivated them / inspired them a lot more. (Check whole chart)

Virgo placements love the little things in life and when something “little” becomes somewhat chaotic is why they’re prone to breakdowns or seen as “perfectionist”

Cancer placements love doing traditional things! Some also like baking!

People with Virgo in the 4th house or Moon in Virgo / Moon in 6th usually have a mother who put a lot on the child’s future right away. They could’ve been told to study or a lot or advance things constantly. Hence, why a lot may be insecure.

Scorpio + Leo in a chart can make someone prone to being easily jealous. (Check other placements)

Leo placements (Especially Moon & Rising) may wake up with hair all over the place or somewhat messy. (Fun Observation)

People tend to over dramatice Leo venuses but all they really need is a loyal lion by their side, who will occasionally put up with their tantrum.

Cancer Venuses & Moon (Overall placements Perhaps) love making promises in relationships, breaking a promise no matter how small it was, will really mess with them.

Leo midheavens & Midheaven in 5th career life may be to put their creative abilities out there.

Pisces Venuses / Venus in 12th may attract partners who use substances / likes smoking.

I’m not saying Uranus / Aquarius dominants have bad “luck” but things are very unexpected in their life with them.

Cancer placements at least some tend to think “silent treatment is everything” when in arguments or bad spot.

Fire moons can easily fall into the wrong crowd. (observation)

Gemini placements tend to do things quite fast like eating fast.

Leo placements love being the attention pull on parties!

Taurus mars are usually very well put together and likes to keep things pretty but simple.

Scorpio placements do not freak out at things that are seen as taboo by others, they can formally talk about the darker / sexual side of things.

- Fun fact Tumblr was a bitch today and turned black and half of this was deleted so a lot of this was remade from other thoughts of my brain😔

Amnesia - Let the Games Begin

A mixture of delicious fragrances engulfed the café, compelling those who were fatefully walking by to enter the bistro. While the intoxicating scents may be what lured guests, it was the diverse set of attendants that created loyal customers. Jack Rose was founded by Hyroshi Miya eight years ago after the passing of his wife. Kaori Miya was known for having a sweet-tooth and her obsession with the tragedy of the Titanic. During Kaori’s battle with leukemia, Hyroshi developed an obsession with baking, with young Atsumu serving as his assistant. At first it served as a distraction for the duo, and a source of happiness for Kaori. However, when Kaori passed away, Hyroshi wanted to honour his wife’s life, and so Jack Rose was established. Named after the two love interests in Titanic, with an eccentric menu that no neighbouring café could challenge – it was a massive success.

“Hi, welcome to Jack Rose. Please follow me.” The rehearsed dialogue was not short of any enthusiasm, despite having said it hundreds of times.

“Oh my god, she’s so cute!” The middle-aged woman cooed to the male stood beside her, who nodded in approval. His amusement was untraceable due to the dark lenses that adorned his face, but he too was enthralled by your uniform.

A sugary smile had painted across your fuchsia painted lips, earning you a few extra points with the couple. It was a simple act that came natural to you, serving at Jack Rose had never struck you as a tedious job, rather it was a pleasurable experience.

After leading the pair to their assigned seat, a gentle hand had pressed into your lower back indicating that your replacement had arrived.

“Thank you, y/n. I will take it from here,” The mocha haired boy radiated an alluring aura, instantly capturing the interest of the two patrons. “Hi. I’m Tooru, your server for today.” Once introducing himself, his mouth twitched into his signature grin, prompting his eyelashes to flutter shut for a moment. Seated a few tables away, Oikawa’s fangirls were huddled together, squealing in unison.

“Enjoy your stay.” Folding an arm over your stomach, you bowed to excuse yourself before their hypnosis wore off, and the fangirls’ attention landed on you. Needless to say, anyone close to Oikawa Tooru was considered a threat. One they were eager to eliminate.

At the hostess stand, a familiar figure had shifted their weight onto the podium, the ends of his golden strands were frayed from the exposure to chemicals, yet with the sunlight sneaking through the glass behind, he resembled the subject of a painting.

“Oi. Are you feelin’ better today?” Atsumu Miya had always insisted that his accent was a natural product of his environment, although no one truly believed him considering the fact his family home was located in the wealthiest part of the city. Nonetheless, the accent persisted beyond his teenage years and into his young adulthood. It never bothered you, particularly because you had never heard him without it. After eighteen years of friendship, there wasn’t a single thing you did not adore about him.

“I am, don’t worry. Now will you please get off my stand? You are going to scare the customers.” Playfully you waved a hand in the air, gesturing for the blonde to reside elsewhere. “And if I’m not mistaken, you are skipping class right now, aren’t you?” As your tongue hit the roof of your mouth, a clicking sound was created to exemplify your disappointment.

“What was that? ‘tsumu is skipping class again?” If you had not become accustomed to Kuroo Tetsurou’s large and notable presence, you would have flinched the second his shadow had blanketed over you. Rather than experiencing any form of fear, his presence had only amplified your gaiety.

“Uh huh. Shall we get Papa Miya?” The bed-headed server leaned down, nestling his chin against your shoulder as he grinned provocatively at the target of your amusement. Kuroo was only a single year younger than you two, despite physically appearing to be older. The three of you were inseparable since the tender ages of six and five. When Kaori had passed away, Atsumu relied heavily on his two friends, as he had lost motivation to complete the smallest of tasks. That was why you took a job at Jack Rose, you needed it to succeed for his sake. It was a reminder of how his mother lived, rather than how she died. Kuroo had joined you in your quest a month later, and somehow your dream – Hyroshi’s dream had become reality.

“I swear yer the worst friends ever. It’s an online class! Don’t bring pops into it.” The blonde blew out a huff, turning his gaze away from those who threatened to ‘betray’ him.

“Oh my god, you guys are the worst! Poor Omi is in the back preparing all the drinks and you’re out here doing… whatever the hell this is!” Makoto Saito waved a small napkin at the black-haired server, unwilling to engage in any physical violence since it would require energy she wished to conserve. “Go back there, you man-baby. Help him. Shoo. Get off my adorable y/n.”

“Okay, okay. I’m going.” Kuroo raised his hands in defeat, unbothered by the napkin that was now being swayed towards his chest. Makoto had joined Jack Rose two years ago, and not because she was in any need for money – you were the reason she found herself sending in an application for what others would consider a low-end job. She had stumbled into the café one evening, boredom plaguing her after finishing a three-hour lecture. Oikawa had been the one to greet her, yet it was the positivity you emanated that brought her to return a night later. A month later, a job application was handed to you bashfully, whereas you could barely withhold your excitement. She was the second female to join Jack Rose, with Atsumu (accidentally) recruiting Ichika a year later.

“Now that he’s gone, y/n, I’m here to replace you. Omi said something about teaching you the new drink? I honestly don’t remember because I was on the phone, but let’s ignore that fact, hm?” Makoto’s interest in the boys was below minimal, the only male who was deserving of her respect was ‘Papa Miya’. Once Atsumu had jested that it was because she secretly had a crush on the much older male, to which she responded, ‘so what if I do’. The response had defeated his humour instantly.

“Oh, he must be talking about the blue pearl! It’s the newest addition to our menu.” Tapping a finger against your cheek, excitement burned in your y/e/c irises, prompting something to stir inside of both Atsumu and Makoto. What? You were so damn adorable.

“I don’t care, but you are so cute that I’ll pretend I do.” Reaching out, the black-haired girl patted your cheek affectionately. “Now go on, little bird. Fly fly away.”

“You guys better not fight while I’m gone.” With two fingers, you pointed at your eyes then at the two chaotic individuals you called friends, even with the warning, it was highly probable that the second you turned around they would begin bickering.

“Shoo, birdie.” The comment was accompanied by an unusually heavy sigh, Makoto completely intended on annoying Atsumu, but that was none of your concern.

Upon entering the kitchen, your nose crinkled at the delectable scents wafting towards you. When Sakusa Kiyoomi was working in the kitchen, everyone knew magic would materialize in the form of sweets. No one had believed the germaphobe could bake until he dropped off a box of home-made pastries along with his resume. Papa Miya was in the process of finishing his first bite when he declared that Sakusa was hired. He was just that damn good.

“You’re here.” The curly haired male had a bad habit of stating the obvious, he argued that it was key to the proper performance of his logical processes. No one tried to refute his claim, considering the fact he was essentially a genius. “Are you ready to learn?” Raising an eyebrow, his slender fingers wrapped around a glass-vessel before placing it on the counter.

“Mhm hm.” It was a bad habit of yours to chew on your bottom lip when in thought, but Sakusa found it endearing – even though he would deny such a claim out loud. Removing the notepad from your apron, your eyes darted aimlessly, searching for a writing utensil. You may have been a little too occupied with your pockets, a detail that the male picked up on, as he removed the pen tucked behind your ear.

“Are you sure you are well? If not, you should return home.” He held out the pen, analyzing your visage for any physical sign of illness.

“Woops. Sorry. I forgot it was there! But I promise, I’m fine!” It seemed that everyone was a bit on edge since yesterday, when you may have accidentally forgotten to eat and passed out mid-shift. You appreciated the sentiment, but you were fine. Really.

The curly haired baker refused to begin his demonstration until you consumed some food and water, his dark hues did not waver until each inch of the plate was clean. By the time you were done, Ichika had joined you in the kitchen for the lesson.

“I should have recorded that. I feel like I forgot it already.” Ichika was the youngest person on the team, Atsumu had offered her a job after finding her crying at a bus stop one night. The young girl was the breadwinner of her home, and due to her fathers gambling addiction, she was the only parental figure for her two younger siblings. Atsumu, after learning that her mother had too passed, was unable to turn a blind eye.

“I can show it to you tomorrow. I think I’ve got it.” A reassuring smile was presented towards her as you captured her hands and provided a gentle squeeze. “And then we all have the day off. I think everyone has decided we’re going to the amusement park, so it will be fun.”

“Okay… Thank you, y/n.” Ichika blinked excessively to withhold the tears that were brewing, she could always count on you to provide her with the support she so desperately needed. Sakusa who was simply watching the two interact was on guard with a rag to catch any tears that could possibly fall onto the counter he had just disinfected.

“Please do not cry.” The black-haired boy had almost sounded sincerely concerned for his co-workers emotional state, it was enough to fool Ichika who redirected her affections to him.

“You care about me too? Waa. I’m so loved!” As the tears began to exit her eye sockets, Sakusa jumped forward on instinct, pressing the cloth against her face. Laughter danced past your lips as you shook your head slowly. Jack Rose really attracted the strangest of people.

After your shift ended, instead of returning home to complete your assigned work, you decided to finish your assignment at the café. It was fairly quiet after 11pm, and Kuroo had offered to walk you home after closing up. Recently there were a striking number of assaults occurring in your area, and so you accepted the proposition without any hesitation.

“Welcome to Jack Rose! We are about to close soon, but I think I have enough time to serve you a drink or two. Is that okay with you, kind sir?” The words were conveyed in an anxious tone, as Ichika glanced at the clock plastered on the wall. Upon hearing the ‘kind sir’, both you and Atsumu glanced up from your laptop screens, stifling the laughter that was bubbling inside your throats.

“I won’t be long.” There was something peculiar about his choice of words, prompting your neurons to convey the word danger to your body. Before your mind could catch up with your physical movements, you had lifted from the chair and shuffled closer to where Ichika was stood. From the side of your eye, you saw your childhood friend following close behind, presumably picking up on your apprehension. But before you could utter a response to the mystery guest, the lightbulbs illuminating the bistro had burnt out.

The second darkness had enveloped the space, someone had seized your waist aggressively and a cloth was pressed to your mouth. The more you squirmed, the harsher their touch became – fear gradually paralyzed you. Or perhaps it was the chemical coating the fabric on your lips. Piece by piece your senses began to dull. Whether the person screeching your name was a hallucination or not was unclear…. All you knew was that your intuition was right, but unfortunately a bit too late.

Hume, who pioneered the bundle theory, would state that the human soul is nothing beyond a collection of still-shots and experiences. The self is a loosely connected bundle of perceptions, one that would change overtime. The question that remains is…. who will you be now? Who will you become? Without your memories as a guide, can you win the game that was designed specifically for you…? Or will you lose the never-ending battle?

[ranposlittle]

Can I get a matchup pls? 🌸 (I'm a Pisces, INFP, and type 4? idk my harry potter house ;-;) I'm 21 year old, 5'7" tall woman, that is Bi with a slight preference for guys. I have short wavy/curly hair with bangs and dark brown eyes (and glasses!). I'm a bit shy and sensitive. I enjoy playing video games, watching anime, listening to music, and reading. I'm a bit of a romantic, a bit lazy and sometimes awkward. It takes me a while to open up to others as well! I hope this is enough! Thank u!

I ship you with...

☠️ Dazai Osamu ☠️

As a true Pisces, INFP and a Type 4, you're obviously drawn to Dazai and he's obviously drawn to you, like a moth to a flame.

You're a healer and Dazai is the perfect person for you. You met him and in an instant you knew, the man is awfully broken. Whether you're aware of it or not, all you want to do is to fix him. You want to understand all of his pain and make everything alright. That is because you know how it feels. You are very familiar to the harshness of the world and because of your emphatic nature, you don't wish for anybody else to experience it if you can help it. Pisces are known to be the most sensitive of all the zodiac signs and this makes you very good in understanding people, even enigmatic ones like Dazai.

Despite being a practical and logical person, Dazai is highly intuitive too. Like you, he can also see through people like they're transparent. It only took him a few hours to know what kind of person you are. Although both of you are the ones who don't open up easily and reserve your most authentic thoughts and feelings to people you know very well, the instant connection you felt for each other allowed you to have a deeper conversation. There was some small talk in the beginning, of course. You were shy and polite and Dazai had to lead the discussion but it's not like he minds. He knew how to steer the topics so he'll get to find out things about you that he's curious about. You didn't even notice that you're sharing more information about yourself than you normally do with people you just met. Dazai just made you feel comfortable and safe. Whatever the topic is, he always listens to what you have to say and shares his thoughts as well; an open and supportive exchange of ideas.

Dazai's comedic side was irresistible to you, too. His eccentric humour and odd jokes never fail to make you laugh. You easily got along with him because of his offbeat personality, he's a curious individual and you love it. You value his authenticity and you often get lost in a good conversation with him as he tells you strange stories and talk about things that excites you; anime, movies, books and music. He's pretty knowledgeable about all of them even if you didn't really thought he would be. You even went into an arcade where you spend hours on end playing different games and Dazai was just surprisingly good at it. You enjoy every minute spent with him as your perspective of his personality widen and you explore the universe that's Dazai's mind.

The more you delved into his world, the more you understood that Dazai has a part of himself that goes deeper, a part of him that's hidden away in the dark. You can feel it, you can see it on his eyes and you weren't entirely shock when you heard about Dazai's past. You're accepting and nonjudgmental so it wasn't hard for Dazai to feel secure in telling you his truth, if anything, he thinks you deserve to know. You're so compassionate and caring towards him and he just know that you'll understand. You wrapped him in a warm embrace after he shared that part of himself with you and then, you thanked him for telling you and that you're sorry that it happened to him. You're sorry that the world made him suffer in such a young age and you're sorry that you can't do anything about it. If only you could go back in time and protect him from everything, you would. You hugged him tighter as you wish that your warmth will somehow glue his broken pieces back together. Dazai melted in to your arms and felt flowers grew on an empty part of his being.

Although Dazai greatly appreciates your affection and love, he knows you'll want to take on all of his problems for him once you knew about it. That's just how you are. He wouldn't allow you to, though. Dazai assures you that he can handle it, flexing his arms to show you how strong he is. You smiled but the worried look on your eyes is still there so he turned a bit more serious to let you know that those experiences he had that messed him up is also the same reason why he's strong now. Without those things happening to him, he wouldn't have found a reason for his existence and he wouldn't have found you. Dazai assured you that he's definitely out of the dark now and that if ever he trips and would be in need of your sensual healing, he'll let you know. You hit his shoulder lightly for making a joke in the middle of a serious topic before he hugged you, thanking you for your love and promising you that he's okay.

What Dazai really love about you is your inner strength. Though you maybe timid and soft, you're not weak. When boundaries are crossed, you're not afraid to stand up for yourself and especially for the people that you love. You're also unwavering with your beliefs and values. You decide for yourself what seems right and doesn't let outside opinions change your views if it doesn't resonate with you. Individualism is important to you and that often leads you to a lonely road but as long as you stay true to yourself, it doesn't really matter. You're constantly looking for ways to improve yourself and cheer on other's personal growth. Dazai's heart just want to overflow with adoration whenever he sees this side of you. How someone as gentle as you can also be so strong is a motivation for him to keep fighting for the things that matters to him. You're just such a beacon of light in Dazai's dim life.

Overall, I think you'll be the perfect blend together because Dazai, despite his bitter past, can be a healthy partner for you. He's strong and positive enough to not let you lose your identity as you take care of him. He'll constantly encourage you to take more care of yourself above anyone else. His weird behavior also adds a lot of fun in the relationship and you can spend your lazy days on the couch, playing video games and just messing around with each other. When Dazai sees you getting pouty whenever you lose a round though, he'll pull some act to actually let you win. He'll just laugh and praise you when you rub it on his face. Sometimes, he'll even steal your glasses and wear them when he wants you to pay attention to him. He'll run around making girlish giggles as you chase him down, screaming at him that you can't see. He'll return them after you've given him enough attention, don't worry. You'll have tons of fun together all the while having a very intimate and deep relationship. One moment you're being silly like children, the next you're cuddled up outside and stargazing while Dazai run his fingers on the waves of your hair. You'll be one of those couples that can just feel the other even if you're miles away. And even if Dazai isn't as into mysticism as you probably are, he also believes that you're meant to be. Destiny or some other unseen force brought you together for a good reason and it's to make life more magical for the both of you. He's not sure yet if he truly believes in heaven but being with you convinces him a little bit more that it's probably true.

***

Thank you for dropping by, anon! You know what, anon, I think we'll get along. I'm an INFP too and I also have Pisces in me bcos I'm a cusp. That's probably why I get a bit carried away and made this a bit too long hehe anyways, I hope this will make you happy and stay awesome! Here's a song from Dazai to youuu~ (･ω･)つ

                                          re-uploaded ! thanks tumblr ! 

❝ Deceit is so natural; but a wolf in sheep’s clothing is more than a warning . ❞ KIM JI WOO? No, that’s actually ARIADNE DIGGLE. A SIXTH YEAR student, this RAVENCLAW student is sided with THE DOUBLE AGENTS ( DE.) . SHE identifies as CIS-FEMALE and is a PUREBLOOD who is known to be DECEPTIVE, HEARTLESS, and VENGEFUL but also WITTY, MOTIVATED, and CHEERY.

STATS.

NAME: Ariadne  Persis   Diggle         NICKNAME: ari, baby. AGE:  17 years old.                           BIRTHDAY:  September 27th. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual. GENDER: cis gender NATIONALITY: great british.              POB: Oxford. BLOOD STATUS: pureblood              HOUSE: ravenclaw WAND: cedar / dragon heartstring / 11” / surprisingly swishy. PATRONUS: unable to produce one but claims that it’s a penguin.

please read 2 the end 4 some connection ideas and spicy memes !!

IS A MONSTER CREATED OR BORN / THE CHILDHOOD.

The diggles on the whole, are a slightly out there family that never really made any sense.

 the kind of pure blood family that people looked at, and wholly wondered whether those blood lines were … really okay. smiley, happy, carefree,      but maybe a few gobstones short.

 Dedalus Diggle, his son Dion Diggle, daughter -in -law, Cybil Diggle, all held such similar personalities to them. It didn’t mean that they were anything less than incredible wizards, but their personalities often overshadowed any individual merit they held.

They worked just outside of London in Oxford, but travelled to Wizarding London on most days for their day jobs, all three of whom worked in a selection of odd jobs from the doing something or other at the ministry, to being a wizard tailor. but all three ( mostly just following dedalus ) were heavily involved in the Order at some point.

Another thing everyone in the family shared was the eccentric names, so it was no surprise when Cybil and Dion christened their first and only born, Ariadne Persis Diggle.

unforutanetly, their naming habits wasn’t the limit of their eccentric behaviour.

To Ariadne’s parents  it was so easy to misplace time, like the mad hatter, plans were lost or all together forgotten, they never got to anywhere punctually — - cybil would even go  on record stating that Dion was late for their wedding ; their child birth. meme for reference

 not that they would ever forget their daughter ; but they did. they left her places all the time; dragon alley, the super market, the forest. she got used to spending time by herself, ariadne learning to look after herself from a young age because she simply just couldn’t trust her parents to look after her. a

 terrifying concept that a child would have to fend for themselves, cook for themselves; not because their parents didn’t love them, but that they just forget to show it. 

part of this was because they were all truly different. ariadne wasn’t scatterbrained, she wasn’t forgetful, or flippant. she was dedicated & serious & incredibly intelligent.       what other child by age 4 could cook for themselves? dress themselves? take themselves to school?  

  ariadne was a child genius ;  a fact that their pre-school had to tell Dion & Cybil several times before they finally got the message;   Ariadne desperately needed a tutor.

In fact, it wasn’t even the seventeen messages, letters home, meetings with the head ( all of which went dutifully ignored ) it was the fact that at the age of 5 — one powerful sneeze almost completely blew up one wing of the small school. and it wasn’t a request,   it was a, “politely let go & no longer wanted at their ‘fine’ institution. “

it was at this point, dion and cybil began to see their own flesh & blood as being a bit of a pain /    annoyed with how much upkeep it required to take care of someone so inquisitive. they tried not to convey this to ariadne. but ariadne was smart, and gifted

ventually, ariadne grew very against her family and what they stood for, but as such a young child at the age of 7, she had no idea how to express this burning inside her heart, so she hid her aggression behind a loving smile, and took out pent up aggression on bugs she found in the garden. tearing them apart, and looking up what she saw in her families dusty, never used library.

eventually, the diggle’s gave out and hired a tutor, and hired the first person they could find with little regard for screening the applicants to find the best fit.   and so, they let a death eater and all the ideologies they carry with them into the diggle household.       see,  

after the whole kindergarten incident,      word of the young diggle girl had spread through newspapers, and the inside talk of the other pureblood families,  it had been noted with interest, so when the job opportunity opened up XYZ I GUESS THIS MIGHT BE A WC  were more than happy to step in to act as the guiding compass in young ariadne’s life.

for  the concept of a child genius, a young witch showing very strong potential in a wide array of magicks, was an interesting concept – and with such a gullible, malleable, manipulatable family? well, [ it’s free real estate meme !]

from the ages of 5-11, ariadne was tutored & trained in a wide variety of disciplinaries. along with this, a distinct hatred of muggles, a disbelief in absolutely everything her parents stood for, how her parents ignorance for her was how all order aligned people were. that they were ineffective; and useless, and whilst not necessarily the scum of the earth ( that was just mud bloods ) they had little to no use. but whilst they didn’t offer much, they were easy tools to be used.

she had tutoring to what was already 5th year material before she even started her 1st year, plus rudimentary training in extremely difficult types of magic such as apparition and legilimency. 

it wasn’t tutoring; it was indoctrination, pure and simple. but they were kind, they were nice, they indulged Ariadne’s interest in learning and inquisitive mind, all the whilst feeding it the less than wholesome ideals that the death eaters had founded themselves on.    

They also mentioned the fact that some people she would meet in life, those horrible, horrible people, were awfully bigoted against these blood purity ideas - the superior ideas - that they held. 

They told her, when dealing with these “acceptance for all / muggle lovers”  people, to keep quiet, keep what was said in lessons between the two of them, because in their words “ there’s no reason for you to go through the trauma we had.” but that wasn’t their reason, no, that was never their reason. They knew full well to get such a death eater loyalist inside the “other sides” ranks would be a feet that required years of predisposition and nudging into a perfect personality. 

Even after Ariadne turned 11 and no longer needed to be homeschooled, she continued the lessons throughout her holidays, constantly having them topped up with the most recent ideology, constantly nudged like a pawn on a chess board into the perfect position. 

And for all Ariadne’s brains,   she was trusting, and easily controlled, for she was near-sighted and once her trust was earned, it was almost impossible for it to be destroyed.

She was sorted into Ravenclaw, inspired by her desire for knowledge, her inquisitive mind that seemed far larger than the rest of her tiny frame ( standing at a whole, 4’9). 

But she was never really the best student,   because she already could do everything that was taught, she lacked the challenge she was so desperately searching for. 

But she couldn’t really find it ever at hogwarts,    so she just often choose to not go to class in favour of going to the library to learn things she didn’t know. And whilst she did often do well on exams,   the teachers would always end up docking her for her … less than sportsmanlike behaviour throughout the year. A plague to anyone who ever vaguely cared about house points.        

But other than annoying other teachers,     she wholly seemed to be a popular girl. She could never be found without her trademark smile, lopsided grin, infectious giggles. 

She had such a sunny demeanour that contrasted so greatly with her rotten insides. She was friendly to everyone, somehow, only interacting with the muggle borns through an unseen gritted teeth, and glares every time no one was looking. 

It also made Ariadne an obvious choice to join the M.A, said everyone with a resounding cheer. It made perfect sense! 

She was from a family that had long been associated with the Order of the Phoenix, she was incredibly smart and great in a duel, and seemed to get along with everyone ! 

Ariadne didn’t know what to say, but agree to sign up, secretly writing an owl to her tutor under the cover of dark. They got her in touch with the heads of the D.E’s at Hogwarts and they came to an agreement, an arrangement. With her tutor to vouch for her loyalty, Adriane signed up for the Death eaters, a heavily guarded secret known by only a select few. 

Ariadne personally loved the freedom that the flip-flop nature of her identity,  the secrecy, the manipulation. 

All in all,   the war feels something of a game to her. 

Much like how she is a pawn in somebody else's game, she feels a certain sense of control from being vested in both sides, that she has some sort of ability to manipulate everything as she sees fit, that perhaps she is playing the protagonist like in one of the stories she read growing up. 

But in reality,   she is still just someone else’s pawn, who will end up branded as a traitor, a wolf in sheep's clothing, no matter who ends up becoming victorious. 

to people in the MA, ariadne is a very well respected, dedicated (and unfortunately trusted) members. to the DE she is ALSO just a member of the MA unless they’re in the higher leadership !

hi ! thanks 4 reading to the end,  do i have any wc? you ask ! not really ! but here’s some concepts i’d love 4 ariadne !

- she can have so many friends ! just so many friends ! give her friends you cowards! - i feel like she’s been in a few relationships / all were quite innocent and ended on seemingly okay terms but maybe there’s an unspoken bad blood ! she’s cute and a pureblood, great for everybody ! - people who lowkey don’t like her or find her annoying / not that they doubt her alliance,    but maybe some (lower rank) DE who think she’s a blood traitor or overly nice?       or just anyone who thinks her smiliness is annoying. - .... . prankster partner ......    lowkey demon thinks it’s one of the easiest way to take her aggression out on people she doesn’t like .. .. - the ONE person who once really saw ariadne snap for whatever reason / very fun plotting possibilities !!!

So...what ARE you feelings on bruce being a Pisces? Let alone that Cass is an Aquarius, Dick is an Aries, Jason's a Leo and Tim's a cancer?

I slowly shut my laptop and set it aside on my bed, staring ahead at nothing in particular as I reminisce on a favorite Pisces in my life. My best friend since childhood, a girl who i’ve known for well over a decade, more than half of my life really, who happens to share the exact same birthday as Fictional Character Bruce Wayne. A Pisces-cusp.

I think on the similarities I see between them, the qualities of her character that only I and a few others would know, and try to think on how others have perceived her before joining our friend group over the years. I admire her empathy, her passion for music and video games, her willingness to put all of her friends above herself. 

And then i remember how she drunk-texted our group chat last night just to tell us she loved us & that she couldn’t wait to hit up a gay bar with us when we’re all back in town.

And I cackle. Because if no one else does, I do see these qualities in Bruce Wayne’s character. Just a hair below all the so-called brooding and angst. Bruce is a water sign who’s a little emotionally stunted in that he tries to hide his feelings, but he feels oh-so-very much. He’s a Pisces trying to emulate a Scorpio and falling just short (bc lets be real, he’s got too many kids that he definitely dotes on) but yknow… it’s something that when he’s done correctly by writers, they somehow manage to fit those qualities in without even realizing, I think. Sure, he’s not a kid that I grew up with and there’s plenty of differences because my friend is, yknow, an actual person who’s more than a couple of personality traits. But damn if I don’t see similarities….

Now, as for the rest of the kids & others that I relate them to… (under the cut, tagging as “long post” for mobile users just incase tumblr wants to be a butt again) Also a warning bc some of this will sound like I’m ripping from astrology sites but honestly just narrowed things down from my own personal experience with these signs. Take all of this observation & comparison with a grain of salt, if you wish.

Cass is an aquarius, like myself. And I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t see more than a few similarities in what few scattered stories I’ve been able to read so far (or even that I might be prone to reading a bit too much into some of it bc hey, I have a fav now & I want to see myself in her, sue me). One of these days I’m probably going to sit down and really dive in, but for now, I gather what I can, listen to the meta that others have, and ofc, try to form my own opinion. 

That being said, an eccentric-ass Aquarius is really the only choice to take over the mantle from a sensitive-ass Pisces, and everyone can fite me on this. Aquarians & Pisces, my friend and I, Bruce and Cass- all on a similar wavelength, esp when they’re encouraging each other and learning to grow from one another.

Cass is an air sign that most people only see as being grounded because of the discipline David Cain instilled in her from childhood. She’s funny, wise beyond her years, and intensely dedicated to the mission at hand bc of what it means to help others as a whole. And this is fault that I see in myself and in her: she’s got plenty of empathy for those she might already be close to, and absolutely cares about humanity in a greater sense, but caring for individuals without getting to know them can be uncomfortable. She’s driven, but can be blindsided by that dedication and burn herself out easily if others don’t intervene. Also, an introverted extrovert, one who’s absolutely ready to meet with others and collaborate/team-up, but can get a little lost in her own head from time-to-time.

…

Now, Dick the Aries. My other best friend since childhood also shares this sign with my First Favorite Robin. And I do see more than a number of parallels between the two of them. My aries friend has a penchant for taking over projects and setting themselves in charge of the operation. But they also have the charm and ingenuity to make themselves to seem the perfect and best fit for that leadership position. They’re rebellious, a little brash in decision-making, but they’ve also mellowed out over the years in many small ways. Still on fire about what they’re most passionate about in life, and more than willing to achieve it by any means necessary, damn anyone who thinks that they won’t.

There’s a popular consensus in fanon to make dick a kind of hufflepuff who’s just there for his friends & loves hugs and is lovey all around- but Dick is driven. He cares for his friends fiercely and will help them absolutely, but he’s ready to avenge them too. He’ll punch you in the face, pirouette with the utmost amount of sass, and then make you feel bad for making him do it in the first place. He’s got that bit of deviousness that will make you second guess his intentions. But if you’re already part of his inner circle, you have nothing to fear from him. And that’s where his lovey side then has room to come out.

…

Moving on to Jason the leo, and I know you didn’t ask, but Im adding Stephanie to this discussion as well since she’s a leo too. A few leos that I’ve gotten to know over the years can be summed up very lovingly as this: attention whores. (again. very lovingly. i love each and every one of those bitches so damn much, this is something they’ve each used to describe themselves lmao)

Leo is the King of the Zodiac, commanding attention in the room whenever they walk in. They’ve got plenty to say, of course, and they’re excellent diplomats/socialites in many ways. Often best suited for a leadership position. They know how to read the conversation and the room and turn it best into their favor. They will dazzle you with their wit and charm, but also in their knowledge of the subject at hand. If they have an Opinion, they’ll absolutely let you know what it is, and they’re not afraid to hold back on what they perceive to be a truth. Some will have a bit more tact than others, but they’re a fire sign, after all. 

Did this just describe Jason & Steph? well maybe not to some, but I definitely see their drive to complete their own missions & joining up Bruce’s crusade as Leo qualities. Steph and Jay are willing to do what it takes and butt heads with whoever they must if it means doing what they see is right. They’re absolutely social people too (maybe Steph a bit more than Jay will be), and you can’t deny they’ve both got a certain kind of charm over the rest of the family.

…

Tim the cancer sign… this is… difficult actually. One of the few signs that I don’t recall having significant interaction with. (& honestly the character & Robin that I have the least personal interest in. I do want to like him but I just…??? Havent rlly found the time to put into reading up on him more)

But just going off the water sign aspect, and knowing water signs in my life… Emotions & emotional intelligence are obviously going to be at the forefront. From what I’ve gathered on Tim, he’s very well-rounded in all areas of his life, and driven to succeed at whatever he’s set his mind to. I can absolutely respect the strength his character has commanded over the years, and his popularity is absolutely earned, I think. Writers have worked hard to make sure he’s distinct from Dick & Jason before him in many ways, and I’ll have to look deeper into his character & listen to more meta on him before I’ll be comfortable to speak further on that.

…

To round out this discussion, I want to bring Barbara into the mix, because she’s had a fixed birthday for awhile now. And tbh she’s just as much part of the family as the rest I think (yes, I know some people get Babs fatigue bc she’s the first batgirl & gets the other girls lost in the shuffle but hey! I’ve loved her for awhile now!) She is *drum roll* a Libra!

Now, this ones a bit tricky, bc the most important Libra in my life is my mom. Buuuut, she and Babs are both cusps… on opposite ends of this zodiac sign. I admire my mother for her resolve, inventiveness, work ethic, and stability. I also loathe her tendency to micromanage projects, become overly involved in the work of others (to the point where she WILL find out whats going wrong) and how she tends to overwork herself (just this past spring has been really really difficult. I’m surprised she hasn’t worked herself into the grave with the amount of stress she puts on herself)

Now some of these qualities, I absolutely see in Babs. But I also see a bit more awareness in her character, esp when she’s grown up into her Oracle persona. She seems able to recognize what she’s doing and how she’s affecting others, and will sometimes use that to her advantage. She’s a character who’s grown into the adversity she faces & doesnt let it change her resolve for completing the mission, even if it needs to be from a new (& probably better) angle. She adapts well to change, or forces the change to adapt to her. She is a force to be reckoned with and admired.

…

All of this to say… at the end of the day, the stars are still just balls of gas and light that sit some billion light-years away from us. Do they really control our personalities? I mean, probably not. But there’s enough similarities in those traits to make you wonder… and it’s honestly just a Good Fun Time regardless.

Name: Riley Silvers Age: Nineteen Pronouns: She/Her Species: Empath Faceclaim: tbd.

Prologue

You have the distinction of not being born in Blackwater but calling it home nonetheless. You are an outlier amongst the people there from the moment you step foot within the borders of the small town. Born to parents who didn’t want you, you were raised in the foster system for a short time before being brought to a family in Blackwater. They were a large family of two parents and a few more foster kids, with you being the youngest of them. It wasn’t meant to be permanent, you were meant to be moved to another family, a smaller one in a larger town, but even at your young age, you liked this new foster family and you’d never had siblings before. The family was large, yes, but everyone was loving and you couldn’t see your foster parents as anything less than your parents. 

And it wasn’t a one sided feeling. You could feel it being returned too, you could feel the way your parents adored you, how they loved all of your little oddities, encouraged them even. You could feel how your siblings loved you too, how the older ones might have been annoyed by the little four year old who toddled after them but yet, they entertained you and would protect you if they had to. You found best friends in the children closer to you age, you would try and get in on the action when one of your siblings got into a fight, even if you were four and hadn’t learned how to throw a punch yet. It felt like what home was supposed to be for you, messy and misshapen and sometimes mistakes were made, but everyone loved everyone and it was safe. You didn’t want to leave, even as your case worker offered you new home after new home. You had chosen your home.

Chapter I

You began kindergarten as a happy individual. Everyone knew you’d come from the Silvers family, people who took in the strays, but you didn’t care when people made fun of you for this. Sometimes, you could sense their resentment that they didn’t have a loving family or, simply, the hatred they felt and often, you were able to brush it off. You had the safety of home and a nice family to go home to and your parents were willing to fight for you if the bullying continued. Even as your teachers told your mother and father about things that concerned her about you, how you read at a slower pace than others, how you didn’t like working on your own and preferred group work, how your work wasn’t up to standard, you could feel how much pride they had in you.

They were willing to help you, to figure out all of the problems you might have, and find solutions for them. They took you to a specialist, outwith of your school, and you were diagnosed with Dyslexia at age five. You understood how it hindered your work and how it might set you apart from others but you were always an optimist from a young age. You were also willing to admit when things were difficult for you, to ask for help from your teachers or even your peers when you needed it. In return, you were willing to offer them help too. You might not have been the best to help with work but you could stand up for someone if others were bullying them. You had a habit of shoving other kids to the ground if they were being mean.

You are six years old when you find yourself in the forest with five other children. None of you know what’s happening as days pass, one blurring into two until it’s been seven days. You try your best to not let your fear consume you and, instead, you try to help dampen the fear of the others. Sometimes it doesn’t work, sometimes it does, but it’s nothing you can be sure of until you are older and see how it will effect. When you are reunited with your family, they shower you with love and affection. They do not fall short in trying to help you through it but you keep on putting on that brave and optimistic face. They fall for it, you think they do anyway, but you have been changed. You’ve never encountered something quite this bad before and your entire world view is changed. Your optimism is shaken and you’re not sure it’ll ever be fixed.

Chapter II

Following the Blackwater forest incident, your case worker asks your family if they would like to send you to another family, citing how difficult it can be to raise a large group of children when one has gone through something as traumatic as you have. Your parents say no but ultimately, it is your choice. It will forever haunt you how to even considered leaving but there was just something so enticing about leaving. But you had found a home within your family and you don’t want to leave them nor start over all again, despite the anonymity it would afford you. You love your family too much to let them go over something like this.

As you grow up, however, the eccentricity that made you so adorable as a child only becomes strange to the people around you. They find your happy go lucky attitude odd and many question why you aren’t more closed off or more visible affected by your childhood. You are subject to constant criticism as many do not believe you are acting like a traumatised child should and would. The truth it, you want to remain upbeat and happy so that you don’t have to confront it. You’ve seen how it has effect the other six and you are desperate not to become another casualty. You are trying to be a positive light in the darkness for them, for your family. At times, however, you often forget about yourself and just how badly it has effected you.

You realise, perhaps a year before graduation, that there’s something different about you. Or maybe realise is not the right word to use. You’ve always known you were different, not normal like so many Blackwater residents claim to be. You think there’s a reason as to why you found a home there and nowhere else, like two oddities being attracted to one another. The things you can do are odd, things you haven’t quite seen others do before. The ability to perceive the emotions of others had always been, you thought, something everyone did. More so, you often wonder why you can change them too. You’re torn on whether or not this is a good thing, whether or not it makes you a good person but you can’t see a negative to it. And if you’re helping people, what’s so wrong with that?

Epilogue

Even if you won’t admit it, you don’t like how the six of you splintered. You do think you put too much pressure on the notion that you would bond over your shared pain without considering how the others felt. You do still see them around but it’s not as often as you would like to. You think that that’s a sign, that perhaps you should be focusing on yourself and finding ways to muddle through your pain and make it all make sense. You’ve considered it but haven’t quite taken the steps to do so.

You don’t leave Blackwater after graduation. A part of you has always feared that if you leave, you will be locked out. You are scared that you’ll never be able to enter again, an iron door slamming shut in front of you. So, you have planted your roots and refuse to up heave them. In the meantime, you’ve dedicated yourself to try and find out as much about the odd little things about Blackwater as you can. It’s almost a hobby, almost an obsession. 

For some reason, it doesn’t surprise you when you get the letter. It’s almost like you had anticipated it’s arrival and in the days leading up to the news of her death, you almost consider approaching your former teacher. You never do and finding out that she was murdered has left you bereft. You’re not sure what any of this means but you wonder if it’s all related somehow ; what happened to you as a child and why Blackwater is a hub for odd activity. Unwilling to really devote yourself into a full scale investigation, you are determined to try and chalk it all up to it simply being Blackwater.

Appendices

Cami ⇴ You’re an outlier when it comes to the belief that Blackwater couldn’t be a place for love and you’ve proven that by find it. It makes sense to you that in the place you found your home, you have found the person you want to make another one with. You and Cami didn’t start dating seriously until tour senior year of high school and when graduation rolled around, you both had choices to make. You were willing to support whatever choice she made but you were relieved when she stayed in Blackwater, with you. You were even more relieved when you asked her to move in with you and she said yes. For the past few years, you two have been building a home and a future together but while you’re of the mind that your past won’t cause anything bad to happen, you can’t help but feel that she thinks differently. As if you needed anymore proof of that, you’ve found that she’s become distant from you and it doesn’t make sense. You don’t want your relationship to be a Blackwater casualty. 

Eugene ⇴ He might just be the best friend you’ve ever had. You feel at home around him, beside him, and he has mentioned experiencing something similar to what you have. He might be the one person in all of Blackwater who’s emotions you can’t sense and, for that reason, it’s become good to be around him. The two of you have begun to search for answers for your shared ability but more so, you enjoy the break from the constant noise and emotions of Blackwater. He is a dampener, someone who can block out the noise and it’s nice to be around him. It hurt you a lot when he left for college and while you two did keep in contact, you can’t help but let that pain pollute how you feel now. You don’t want to push him away and while you know the catharsis not being alone can have, you’re worried you might let your emotions speaks for you. 

Matthew ⇴ In truth, you never became close to Matthew until after graduation. He was the one who pulled away the most from the six of you and that hurt you quite a bit. Now that you’re older, you have begun to accept his friendship but that wasn’t before you put him through the ringer, making sure he actually wanted to be your friend and he wouldn’t just pull away when things got too heavy. He’s fun to talk to and be around but there are times when he will bluntly tell you that he’s no longer interested. It’s a back and forth you don’t like and there are times when you wish he would be mature about this instead of acting like a high schooler. Mostly, you want to smack some sense into him; about the weirdness of Blackwater and about his own emotions, the latter of which you can feel quite strongly.
