[bahrmp3]

[id: 10 gifs from season 3, episode 21 “the die is cast” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show three scenes from the episode the first has elim garak, odo, enabran tain on a romulan warbird on fire, the second scene garak and odo escaping using a runabout, the third scene shows them back on the defiant with miles obrien, and julian bashir.

1st gif: the first scene features garak from the shoulders up, the romulan warbird is on fire in the background. garak begins to realize that he's not going to get tain out of that chair, but he won't leave without him.he shouts "i can't just leave you here."

2nd gif: camera cuts to tain seated on a chair. he looks at garak and says, "i always did have a soft spot for you, garak... another of my flaws..."

3rd gif: camera cuts to garak, he shouts, "enabran," he is about to make another plea, when suddenly odo's hand pulls him back from the shoulder and he punches garak hard.

4th gif: camera cuts to show a wider angle of odo punching garak. the punch is hard enough to knock garak out and as he crumples to the deck, odo carries him.

5th, 6th, and 7th gif: the second scene, odo is sitting in the pilot seat of the runabout and garak is in the other seat. garak is rubbing what is now a large bruise on his head ruefully. garak says, "you can be very persuasive on occasion, constable. but you might consider using... gentler language in the future." odo replies "i'll keep that in mind."

8th gif: the third scene, in the transporter room of the defiant. miles says, "welcome back." the camera moves from miles to show odo and garak after transporting into the defiant. camera cuts to face enabran from the front and the back of garak, he is looking at garak from the corner of his eyes as garak continues, "why do you think i'm here?"

9th gif: odo says, "thank you." julian appears in the frame, he sees the bruise on garak's head. "oh, that looks painful."

10th gif: garak says, "it is." and turns to look at odo as he continues, "but it did save my life." /end id]

with misfits & magic season ii coming out on 9/25, it's time for a spreadsheet update!

links to the relevant sheets:

thisisnotthenerd's d20 stats: the og spreadsheet. where this all started.

d20 episode randomizer: watch orders! go here to see all of the episodes listed in various ways, and to pick a random episode!

d20 seating chart stats: the table and how it plays out every season. check the compiled chart for basics on each character

anyways, on to the stats!

general stats:

total episode count: 251, spread over 22 seasons.

there have been 8 main cast / intrepid heroes seasons, that make up 147 of the 251 episodes, or 58.5% of the total count. if we include oneshots in this count, the count goes up to 151 of 251, for 60.1%.

total runtime: 541:54:53. that's 3 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 54 minutes and 53 seconds of dimension 20.

average runtime: 2:09:32. the median is 2:08:32, which i thought was funny. the episode that's closest to the average, with 2:09:33, is 'the house always wins' from a starstruck odyssey.

some more recent updates: never stop blowing up has the third-shortest average (1:49:18), following fantasy high (1:39:43) and coffin run (1:43:16).

nsbu is the shortest of the 10-episode seasons, with a total runtime of 18:12:59. compare that to the longest 10-episode season, the seven, with a runtime of 23:55:12.

for mismag, this is our first sidequest sequel season. aabria is the first guest dm to get a sequel season of her own (matt is a little diff by virtue of brennan running acoc). it's the first KOB sequel season as well--that speaks well for d20 expanding their game systems.

mechanically, they're now using a version of nsbu called never stop making magic, so i'll be tracking stat explosions this season as well. i do think d20 is leaning towards expanding the systems they use, so we'll see how they continue to expand going forward.

it's also the first odd-numbered sidequest season, with 11 episodes. by december 5, we'll have had 16 episodes in the world of mismag, which is just under a main cast season.

player stats:

aabria's back in the dome for her 7th season, and 4th as the game master! with an 11 ep season she's up to 59 episodes, and remains the most common guest on d20. at this point she's the second in-house dm. she has the Q4 10-ep season on lock. the first sidequest sequel season is hers.

brennan is up to 21 seasons and 257 episodes (including time quangle and mismag ii). he now has 2 seasons on the right, evening his split out a little bit (3:2)

lou has dethroned ally and taken the top player spot, with 12 season and 187 episodes. he has a new fave seat, with 4 seasons in L1 as well as R3.

erika isn't far behind aabria, with 47 episodes and 6 seasons. they're split between L3 and R2 (2 each)

danielle's joining the ranks of what i consider the recurring guest cast, with 3 seasons and 22 episodes under her belt. she's behind rekha and izzy (tied with 36), erika, and aabria.

production notes:

in terms of production, the release of the time quangle episodes puts us at 45-46 episodes for 2024, depending on when the december releases start. this also sets us at a total of 268 episodes by the end of 2024.

if we include all of the adventuring parties, adventuring academies and various other d20 auxiliary content, 2024 might take the cake for the most total episodes, dethroning 2021.

i'm guessing that this was the first season filmed after brennan's parental leave, so they're probably still 6 months to a year ahead of the releases

production calendar is looking like main cast season in Q1-Q2, varying number of sidequests/oneshots through Q2 and Q3, with aabria/another guest dm in Q3-Q4. depending on when aabria's season starts, they may start the intrepid heroes' season in Q4 going into the following year. general disclaimer that this is just a guess.

Hi, can I request a Regina x Reader where they go on their first date. Aaron had never taken Regina on a nice date before, so she’s appreciative of the effort the reader put into it (and that she’s finally treated how she deserves to be treated)

I'll Give You Everything...

|| Regina George x fem!reader

|| Warnings; swearing, fluff, hints of a hookup if you look really closely

|| Summary; reader takes Regina on a first date, spoiling her as much as she could. The date ends with milkshakes and movies at Regina's.

Requests open!

Started; october 7th

Finished; october 8th

~~~

You'd recently started dating Regina George and had wanted to give her everything. Okay, everything might be a bit extreme but she deserved it after her crappy past relationships. If you could give her the world, you would have. In your eyes she was the definition of perfect. Angelic, even. Although you definitely knew about her nightmare side, for the most part you chose to ignore that. Focusing more on the positives.

Today was going to be amazing; you were going to make sure of it. You'd spent the last week spending many hours planning out the perfect first date with Regina, even getting some of Gretchen's input. The girl knew Regina pretty well, so you figured she would be the best one to go to for this.

As the hours ticked by till your date time, you kept checking the clock. Which seemed to only make it take even longer but you were buzzing with excitement. So who could blame you? Soon enough though, you were driving to Regina's place with some flowers and chocolates; the types recommended by Gretchen, so you could only hope that Regina would approve.

When you got there, you fixed your hair a bit in the mirror and made some finale adjustments to your outfit before getting out. You walked up to her front door, admiring the mansion. This was your first time actually being over at her place so her house had completely caught you off guard. You knew the girl was rich but damn. It was certainly modern.

Taking a breath, you knocked on the door. Which was then answered by Ms George who gave you a smile and hug.

"Hi sweetheart! She's just in her room getting ready, she'll be down in a minute." She gave you a wink and you awkwardly smiled back," Regina!! Your date's here!"

"I'm coming, mom! God!" Regina yelled back.

A few moments later, she made her way down the stairs and smiled at you. Walking over and giving you a kiss," hey, baby. I'm sorry about my mom. She can be a real pain in the ass."

"It's alright, I got these for you." You handed her the flowers and chocolates which she took, looking them over.

"How'd you know what to get?" She seemed a little surprised, you just shrugged and gave her a sheepish look.

"I may have had a little help."

"Gretchen." She sighed, though she didn't seem upset. If anything she was amused.

"Maybe." You nodded then lead her out to your car after she set the stuff down, opening the passenger door for her with a smile." After you."

"Cheesy," Regina replied, making you laugh a little as she got in. You went over to your side and started up the car, opening your Spotify playlist.

"Any preference?" You asked.

"Anything pop." Regina replied, you nodded and pulled up your pop playlist.

Heading to your first destination of the night, dinner at a nice restaurant. You couldn't afford to the crazy stuff Regina was probably used to, but you tried your best with what you had saved up and she seemed to appreciate it.

The dinner went smoothly, both of you ordering your favourites off the menu and chatting with each other about anything and everything. You'd offered to play a game of 21 questions to get to know each other better.

"Favourite colour?" Regina asked, taking a bite from her food.

"Probably..." You told her your favourite and she nodded, making a mental note to remember that.

When you were done with your meals and desserts, you paid for the food which surprised Regina a little. She hadn't expected you to pay when she was basically endless money.

"You payed?" She asked.

"Tonight's about you. Of course I did." You gave her hand a squeeze and she seemed to blush, or it was just the lighting. You weren't entirely sure.

Afterwards, the two of you walked downtown. Continuing to just talk about everything you could.

"Wanna get some milkshakes?" You asked, noticing a milkshake shop that was coming up on the corner.

Regina shrugged," sure, why not."

The two of you headed in, deciding to order for the other person's rather than yourselves to try some new flavours. For Regina, you got her the cotton candy mix while she got you a caramel swirl.

She then brought you over to the booth she'd picked out and took a seat, each of you taking some pictures with each other and your milkshakes for social media before giving them a try.

"This is fucking delicious," You murmured, drinking more of your milkshake.

Regina smirked at you," you have some on your lip, dork."

"What? Where?" You went to wipe it off but she stopped you and kissed you, getting it off in the process.

"There." She said casually, taking a sip from her own drink after breaking the kiss. A certain glint in her eyes.

Your cheeks flushed bright pink. Did she really just do that?

She laughed when she noticed how flustered you were and grinned at you," what? Never had someone do that?"

You shook your head," I've not had a lot of dating experience." You admitted, which peaked her interest. She'd definitely have fun with you.

Before you knew it, your date was over and you were dropping Regina off at her place. She was about to head inside when she stopped and looked at you," hey. How about you come in and watch some movies? Maybe stay the night?"

You found yourself blushing again but you absolutely weren't about to say no to an offer like that.

So you spent the night at Regina George's and woke up in her bed the next morning. You could definitely get used to this.

May I present to you-

Long hair snape!!!

I would absolutely melt and instantly fold for this man LOOK at him he's sexy and he knows it

Also would love to hear your thoughts on this severus joining hogwarts as a professor and his first class is a bunch of 6th/7th years who absolutely swoon for this man-

All the girls think he's so mysterious and handsome and snapes just tired and wants to go home-

Even funnier if all the older students misbehave on purpose just to get detention with this man and he's just so oblivious to it and thinks it's bcs they don't respect him as a teacher and they're mocking him (bonus points if finally minerva is like severus my child they want to fuck you-)

(Apparently he was 21 when he became a professor)

SHUT UP! I totally need to write something about this! I'll start it as soon as I can!

I would also completely fold for this man

˖ ִֶָ🐇 In this post specifically I'd like to look at the 7th house derivative astrology. I prefer to work with examples, so I'll be reading about my future spouse as a guide. I'll include some celebrity citations as well. What is Derivative astrology?

The ascendant (natal 7th House):

His appearance, physical traits, attitude & approach

๑ஓVirgo (9° sagittarius)

In terms of looks, he's tall, more so on the leaner side, and looks very down to earth or approachable. His age will not show on his face, so even if he's 30/40 he still looks 20 lmao. Extremely clean and put together, although when it comes to fashion he could wear a lot of "basic" clothes. It's usually comfort & practicality over looks. People will describe him as easygoing but also a bit of a perfectionist.

๑ஓEros (22° capricorn)

He's very particular about the way that his body/physical appearance looks. Perhaps he's the type to work out regularly. Since it's in virgo though, I don't think he'll be doing it competitively, but rather to exercise control or restraint. Just something he likes having in his routine.

Celebrity example

(the effects of your descendant & your partner's looks)

Ariana Grande has her Cancer in the 7th house. There's also Chiron & Mercury here. Have you noticed how a lot of her long term partners look rather.. sick? Pale, with eyebags & a tired expression. The ones she usually just dates are rather short (Cancer, mercury 27° gemini) but the ones who get closer to engagement or marriage are tall (Leo, chiron 21° Sagittarius). Also.. they kind of resemble her brother lol ( cancer; family, mercury 27° gemini; sibling)

His 2nd house (natal 8th House):

His finances, work, values & priorities

๑ஓLibra

He could work under a contract or with certain people. Business relationships are very prominent here. Though, this could also mean he's usually working with a partner or a group.

๑ஓJupiter (16° cancer)

He's likely born into a pretty stable household in terms of money. However, it's likely he works with his family or people close to him. Could also work with younger individuals, he'll likely gain a lot of wealth through his contracts or working with people he's familiar with/ family.

๑ஓFama (20° scorpio)

My FS's work will involve movement, and talking or interacting with a lot of people. He will usually be the person they are looking at at work.

๑ஓPopulus (24° pisces)

My FS gains a lot of money through his looks and his aesthetics. He'll likely be quite popular for his charms & magnetism. People could attach his image to that of prince charming if that makes sense. People might not expect me to be with someone like him lol. Perhaps they think he's this untouchable entity or that someone like him is different from the average person (pisces influence).

๑ஓUnion (26° taurus)

I'll likely be working with my FS somewhere down the line especially since it's in libra. A power couple!

Celebrity example

(How your 8th house affects your spouses' career)

Lana Del Rey has a stellium in her 8th house (sun, mars & mercury). Most of her exes were singers though not as successful as her. Her husband however, is a tour guide; usually talking to a small group of people on an airboat (cancer Mercury 16° cancer), his job involves a lot of movement & hard labour, a little risk & talking/explaining (Mars 8° Scorpio, Eros 21° Sagittarius). He does a lot of physical labour, working for/with his family, & has since gained a lot of fame/ recognition through that (Starr & Varuna).

Lana's natal 2nd house will be his 8th house when read through derivative astrology, so her being more wealthy & popular than him sort of tracks. She's more of this exotic phenomena while he's a traditionally hard working family man 'normie'. Sagittarius vs Cancer.

₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊ ⊹ .₊๋₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊ ⊹ .₊๋₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊ ⊹ .₊๋₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊

His 3rd house (natal 9th House):

His mind, thoughts, siblings & early education

๑ஓScorpio

He is very intuitive. Most of the time, there is nothing that can be kept hidden from him. He's also great at reading body language or facial expressions, and likely not the type to be able to hide his distaste for certain things. At least, not through his expressions lol. If he doesn't like you, you'll see it on his face.

๑ஓMars (26° taurus)

He may have argued with his siblings a lot somewhere along his youth, I don't think it's necessarily a toxic relationship. In fact, I think that's just how they bond lol. He could have been very stubborn as a child, doing whatever he wanted despite his sibling's wishes. He could also have been quite stubborn or greedy around his sibling (s). "What's mine is mine, what's yours is also mine".

๑ஓVenus (5�� leo)

He is very charming, and quite romantic. By that I mean, he is the type of man who will romanticise love & art. These aspects may be very closely tied to his own way of thinking. Believing in a "one true love". The way he communicates & thinks is also quite dramatic. Perhaps he believes there is no one else quite like him lol.

๑ஓMercury (10° capricorn)

My FS is very analytical. No matter how romantic or dreamy he likes to think, there is always a part of him that values logic & structure. He probably likes to argue with himself in his head often. Something along the lines of;

"It feels right, but what does it really mean? "

"Does it make sense? I don't think so yeah, maybe not."

"..on second thought —"

"..nah"

Celebrity example

Lisa Marie Presley has Saturn, North Node, Union Chiron & Mireille in her natal 9th House.

Michael Jackson used to work with his siblings (saturn) in The Jackson 5 before they had a falling out also because he wanted to go solo (pisces Chiron 26° Taurus).

They were very successful (Mireille) just not in the way MJ wanted to be seen, so he left (aries, pisces & chiron). In the end, he was meant to go solo to be the Michael Jackson we all love & remember (Aries north node 21° Sagittarius).

His 4th house (natal 10th House):

His home life, his mother, his early childhood

๑ஓSagittarius (13° aries)

He has been living independently from a very young age. Moving to another town, state or country from his parents alone. His parents are very open-minded, perhaps there were issues with religion when he was younger or he just had parents with mixed religious beliefs & found it a bit difficult to latch onto either one.

๑ஓGreat attractor (14° taurus)

He was likely favoured by his aunts or his grandmother, perhaps he has a lot of parental figures in his life. His siblings could also act as his care takers since it's in Taurus. People liked him for his openness or willingness to learn from them. Though, he might talk back at times lol (conjuncting ic °13 aries).

๑ஓPluto (22° capricorn)

His childhood was likely cut short due to his career, or because he had to work from a young age he didn't exactly live the life of a regular child. It forced him to be wiser & more experienced than his age.

๑ஓSun (29° leo)

He might've been the favourite child of the household lol. You could see his charisma shining through, even as a child. He could also be the youngest child in the family. He may have butted heads with his mother at times, but respects his father a lot.

₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊ ⊹ .₊๋₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊ ⊹ .₊๋₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊ ⊹ .₊๋₊ ˚ ⊹ ࣭ ⭑ . ₊

His 5th house (natal 11th House):

Love life, creativity, childhood, talents

๑ஓCapricorn

He could treat art as a job, or just work in the artistic industry. Could have been working as a child (like a child actor, performer or something). His childhood was likely bleak because of this.

๑ஓChiron (24° pisces)

He likely had a very difficult childhood. He might've felt like he was never truly a child, or he never got to enjoy his youth like his peers. He may have felt like an outcast and all alone when he was younger. Not really fitting in with people his age. He may have accumulated some trauma from his childhood as well. In terms of his love life, he may have felt that his previous partners never see him eye to eye, but rather as an illusion. Either that, or he himself has ignored his partners to chase his own ideals. Never feeling truly connected with anyone he's dated in the past.

๑ஓGroom (25° aries)

He may long to be in a stable relationship, however he may feel that he'll never have the time to indulge in that type of life because of work ( groom conjunct chiron in Capricorn). Although, this perspective may be healed through marriage hoho ✧₊ ⊹ .

๑ஓJuno (6° virgo)

Like I said, somewhere before my FS & I are likely to work together at some point in our lives. (Virgo & Capricorn). His love life will play an important role in his career.

His 6th house (natal 12th House):

Work ethic, routines, job, health

๑ஓAquarius

He doesn't work a 9-5 and could work independently i.e not with a government agency. He could be working alone for the most part, but he could also be working with friends or a community.

๑ஓNeptune (13° aries)

His work will involve movement but also illusion and creativity. He could be very prone to health issues, or his work causes him to neglect his own health or wellbeing. Could be both mental & physical health that decline because of work. He could have insomnia or fatigue. Usually, Neptune & pisces heavy placements lead to someone being very artistic, or talented with music or art. You'll see it quite often in the charts of musicians i.e Lana Del Rey, Matty Healy just to throw a few names.

๑ஓUranus (3° gemini)

His career could involve writing, talking or singing. In aquarius, it's likely he'll be working with a lot of people or with diverse individuals. He could work online or at places where people come to gather for something. Whatever it is, he will be the speaker/one front and center. Uranus is all about standing out from the crowd. He may be a trendsetter where he works. His work also involves a lot of multitasking.

His descendant (natal ascendant):

His partnerships, business relationships, spouse

๑ஓPisces (9° sagittarius)

Foreign, distance. He could be very introspective about love & relationships. He may romanticise love often as well. His spouse will come from another country (overseas) and may be at a great distance from him lmao. If he works with any contracts, it's likely it will lead him to travel often. I will be very different from him culturally. Different languages, different religions, different countries.

His 8th house (natal 2nd House):

Sex, fears, transformations, inheritance

๑ஓAries

Oof, daddy chill. He could be very obsessed with sex, money & his possessions. He'll find himself struggling with selfishness at times. He'll be very protective of his inner circle. A lot of people with this placement tend to be a freak in the sheets, yet 9/10 they'll stun you when it turns out they're a virgin. Loyal to a fault, although they could have been sexualised their entire life even from a young age.

๑ஓBoda (18° virgo)

Marriage will transform him deeply. He could feel like an entirely different person compared to who he was before. His marriage will not be spontaneous however. It's likely he has put much thought into it before proposing in the first place. Everything will be well planned and organised. Almost like he had a motive for it, or had the intent to marry me immediately lol. Something about the marriage will be taboo in a way, or perhaps will cause arguments since it's Aries & in the 8th house (yikes). I have a feeling, that he'll know I'm the one the moment we met. He has likely planned our marriage from the start.

๑ஓMoon (28° cancer)

He could struggle with his emotions quite often. Perhaps he'll be panicking inside but keep a straight face (virgo rising). He could have mood swings pretty often. There may be a part of him that's constantly searching for something safe or stable. He could be quite aware of the changes or cycles in life as well as the occult. However, it's not likely for him to be completely adept at it from a "professional" standpoint i.e you won't be reading any observations post or astrology blog from him any time soon. Rather, he goes by intuition and gut feeling. He could have trust issues as well. It's like "I don't really know what's happening but I can feel it." He might also come to me for advice or just to ease his mind often.

My younger brother also has this placement, so I've grown familiar with it through observing him.

๑ஓNorth node (0°)

Change and transformation may be a part of his destiny in this life. Wherever he goes and whatever he does will be influenced by a reawakening, or rebirth. He could have been set on this earth to bring change to himself and those around him. He may have gone through many deaths spiritually prior to meeting me. Learning boundaries, commitment and adaptability. Our relationship could be centered around this as well.

His 9th House (natal 3rd House):

His perspectives & convictions

๑ஓTaurus

My FS likey has a deep attachment to money. By that, I mean he likely believes in the power of money lol. Perhaps it was made clear to him from a young age how important it is for someone to have things in their possession. So because of this, he may be quite greedy or have the mindset of a hustler.

๑ஓBriede (19° libra) retrograde

He's likely dreamt of how his future spouse would be quite often throughout his life. He's also very romantic, and a slightly delulu type of lover. Perhaps he has looked through the faces of all the women he has met, looking for his true love. He could have gone through some disappointments in this area before meeting me as well. He may have felt that he's looking for someone unattainable at times. He'll be the type to idealise his wife to the nines.

His 10th House (natal 4th House)

๑ஓGemini

His job could involve a lot of talking, teaching or writing or even singing. He could do a lot of multitasking in his career i.e not just writing for example but speaking also. He could work with the media or the internet or just with a lot of people in general. He has a very vocal presence if that makes any sense.

๑ஓPart of fortune (8° scorpio) in Cancer

He's likely been through a lot of shifts in his career. Perhaps some trial & error, or it was quite difficult during the first few years into his career. He could work with his parents or his family, people he is comfortable with or just works closely with other people. There could have been a point of time where things just started going right lmao. People may think he's extremely lucky but it's more likely that he worked hard to get where he is. Literally blood, sweat & tears were sacrificed. He may have shared this with his family as well.

His friends, views on community & other people

๑ஓCancer

He could be around a lot of women, or perhaps a lot of his friends treat him motherly i.e baby him. When he opens up to people he likely treats them as family. He could also see his friends as his home or a source of comfort.

๑ஓLilith (15° gemini)

He could have trust issues, or have only a few people he really trust as his friends. He could also switch friend groups often or is introduced to other people by his friends often. He's likely not the one to initiate any friendships.

๑ஓSaturn (25° aries)

A lot of his friends could be older than him. Perhaps most of his friends are also his coworkers or people that he has a professional relationship with as well. There could be some competition between him & his friends or even between groups in general.

The subconscious, his fears, his hidden self & ideals.

๑ஓLeo

He's the type of person who'll draw people to him because of his mysticism and genuine appeal. People could feel like they sense his soul when they're in his presence. He could be quite restless but also reserved when it comes go his talents. There may be a side of him he isn't as confident to portray yet by the time I meet him. His diva side might still be rather demure lmaoo. Still, there's great potential within him.

Solar Return predictions:

Based on my solar return chart for this year of my life. Remember to continue to support Palestine however you can 🍉

Gemini Asc at 21°: A year focused on communication, travel, learning. Might see a bit of lucky with my physical appearance (1h) and relationships since the solar return descrndant is also at 21° (7h). May meet many Sagittarius placements this year because 21 is a Sag degree

Solar return chart ruler at 5°: could experience minor fame or this could be a memorable year for me. Mercury is in my SR 8th house. And one of my siblings was sick on my birthday so I could similar themes around my siblings this year because Mercury can talk about your siblings.

SR Venus in Scorpio at 16°: 16° is a Cancer degree so I could love to spend more time with family this year. Especially it being in my solar return 6th house. SR Venus in 6th talks about glows up and attention to health. Possibly could adopt or be gifted a pet.

3h and 11h rulers are in the 7h: community, siblings and or friends could introduce me to romantic partners or business partners.

Part of Forune in 4h: blessed in home, family, roots and through hardwork since it's in a Cap degree (10°)

Solar Return IC at 27°: I could move or my family could move or both. Since IC is associated with the home and 27° is a Gemini degree is associated with moving

SR Venus opposite Uranus: could be flighty in love, met love interests over the internet or work in the internet or technology fields this year

SR Uranus retrograde: returning to old technology or apps.

SR Pisces Moon: more in tune with spirituality and the collective. Both my parents have Pisces Moons so better connections with them I hope.

SR Neptune conjunct natal Boda asteroid (1487): I could dream (Neptune) about my wedding (Boda means wedding in Spanish)

Pluto in 28° in 8th: Death of a important family member since 28 is a Cancer degree. It's also a wealth degree and an indicator of a household name which could happen but are less likely to because Pluto is a generational planet.

Mars in 7th at 17°: possibly a new masculine romantic partner or car. Mars rules cars if I remember right.

Sun in 7th: big relationship year

Solar return Destinn asteriod (6583) and Solar Return Kiss asteriod (8267) conjunct SR Venus: Destiny involved in my love life, including who I kiss

Chiron retrograde in Solar return 11th: could hurt my own feelings because of community and friends or heal myself in community this year

Wishing everyone happy solar returns!!

[tashigi1006]

Okay everyone focus here yes as you can see Bohancock and Nami have a relationship with imu Yes they are celestial dragons

1In Japanese numerical representations I have explained this before that Japan is known for translating names into numbers.

I will give an example

.The name "UMI" (ウミ)

ウ (u) = 3

ミ (mi) = 13

The total digital representation of ウミ is 3 + 13 = 16.

So, the name ウミ (Umi) gives the digital representation of 16 directly.

As for the name UMI In Japanese it means sea

yes but if you reverse the name it becomes IMU

IMU He is the one who established the world government.

I'll make it clear. Look at Doflamingo.

He said the word 16, this is a secret word for the owners of the Celestial Dragons.

Well I think we're doing well now.

But more clearly Nami has a big relationship with imu-sama. Okay now let's go to the mission.

Yes, as you know, the Shimotsuki family has a very strong relationship with imo

Look at the word breakdown

Sh ( i) (m) (o) ts (u) /ki

What do you look for in the middle of the word yes word Imu

I will explain this more through what Oda does in the manga which are digital representations with names.

To convert the name "Shimotsuki" (Shi Mutsuki) to a numeric representation using the katakana system, we write it as follows: シモツキ.

To convert each letter to a number based on the order of the letters in the traditional Japanese etymology table:

- シ (shi) = 16

- モ (mo) = 14

- ツ (tsu) = 21

- キ (ki) = 11

So, the numeric representation of the name シモツキ is 16-14-21-11.

Yes, as you can see, the first number is 16.

And what Do Flamingo said 16

Well yes Tashigi is one of the Celestial Dragons so laugh or whatever it doesn't matter and this is clear from the title of Shimotsuki's chapter and that this is a family with a great king a powerful family yes

For the chapter number 1033, what do you think about combining the chapter?

10+3+3=16 Someone tell me it's a joke, definitely not.

Now let's go to Tashigi's name.

Certainly! Here is the translation:

To apply the numeric encoding system to the name "Tashigi" using the kana characters in the Japanese writing system:

"タ" (Ta) is the 3rd character in the katakana chart, so its number is =3

. "シ" (Shi) is the 6th character in the katakana chart, so its number is= 6.

. "ギ" (Gi) is the 7th character in the katakana chart, so its number is= 7.

Adding these numbers together, we get:

3 + 6 + 7 = 16.

Therefore, the name "Tashigi" can be represented by the number 16 using this system.

Yes, and definitely it carries the number 16.

Also, I said before that Tashigi is a princess and her nickname will be Sakura because Hiyori was named Kuromosaki which is a purple flower.

Tashigi is also the remaining princess of the Shimotsuki family, who is perhaps the last member of the original family. Perhaps the reason for their escape from Wano is not freedom, but rather Kozuki's plot against Shimotsuki. He took the position of ruler, but the family acted quickly and escaped.

This confirms that she is also a princess like Sanji when he wore a hat.

As for Nami, I will talk about her next time, and I am sure that each one of them is a queen.

Imu aims to subjugate them to their authority 4 There is a dog in the middle Between Tashigi and Nami, I think it's Emu

His goal is to subjugate them. There are 4 of them. So far, we do not know about the Flemingrad family, to which Ota belongs, the Bohancock family, and the Nami family, but Tashiji Oda confirmed that she is from the Shimotsuki family, given the cover of Chapter 1033.

ISU released an article about Shoma

Two-time ISU World Champion and three-time Olympic medalist Shoma Uno of Japan has announced his retirement from competitive skating after a long and distinguished career and is ready to open a new chapter in his life.

“I have decided to retire from active competition,” Uno wrote on Instagram. “I am very grateful to have been able to continue skating for 21 years since I was 5 years old, and to have had a wonderful athletic life.”

The Japanese star will talk in more detail about his retirement and future plans in a press conference scheduled for May 14.

The 26-year-old looks back at a career with many highlights and also difficult times, but he always came back, proving his talent and showing resilience. When five-year-old Shoma went to the ice rink in his hometown of Nagoya with his father to have fun, he had no idea that he would become a World Champion, Olympic medalist and super star of the sport. He only knew that the enjoyed skating and kept coming back to the rink, taking lessons. He trained with Machiko Yamada, the coach of Japanese skating icon Midori Ito and also with Mihoko Higuchi for many years and worked his way up in the skating world.

Uno debuted in the ISU Junior Grand Prix in 2011 and was so tiny that he was unable to look over the boards. He won a few medals on the Junior circuit but his breakthrough came in what was his last Junior season in 2014/15 when he qualified for the first time for the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final where he claimed gold. Shoma went on to take the ISU World Junior title in 2015, in what was his fourth and final appearance at the event (climbing from 10th in 2012, 7th in 2013 and 5th in 2014).

Once at the senior level, Uno quickly became one of the top Skaters in the World. In his World debut in 2016 he placed 7th but then the next year won silver, his first of a total of four World medals. In his first Olympic Winter Games in 2018, Shoma skated off with the silver medal and returned on to the Olympic podium four years later, earning the bronze. In 2022 and 2023 Uno crowned himself ISU World Champion.

However, in between there was a time of struggle. In the 2019/20 season, for the first (and only) time in his career, Uno finished off the podium in the ISU Grand Prix Series. He had left his coaches since childhood and struggled with confidence.

“At first, to be honest, I was thinking about finishing my career,“ he said in an interview at Skate America 2021 about this time.

“I did not know how much longer I would keep going. But imaging the end (I thought) maybe I'll enjoy the rest of this career as an athlete.“

Uno started to work with two-time World Champion Stéphane Lambiel as his coach and choreographer in fall 2019 and soon came back strong. He grew as an athlete and a performer with beautiful programs that highlighted his versatility: “Turandot” (Free Skating 2017/18), “Great Spirit” (Short Program 2020/21), “Bolero” (Free Skating 2021/22) and “Spiegel im Spiegel” (Free Skating 2023/24) to name a few.

At the same time, the Japanese star always pushed the limits technically and made history by becoming the first Skater to perform a quadruple flip in competition in 2016.

“When I train and want to become better, it's not good for me to work on what I can already do. If I'm satisfied with just giving 80 per cent, I'm not good. The right training for me is to push my limits,” Uno said in an interview.

The Japanese Skater has an independent mind and a fun personality. He has a Youtube Channel where you can meet his three toy poodles Emma, Baron and Toro.

“When I am on the ice, I am totally focused on my sport, but when I'm off the ice, I am sure most people know I am just a lazy slacker, but I thought that would be a good way to show to the people how I am off the ice, but still this is Shoma Uno,” he explained.

When asked who inspires him the most, Shoma’s surprising answer was:

"Myself. Of course, I think I am inspired by many people and heard some good words from everyone, too, but in the end when you break it down, I do feel that it is myself that inspires me and sadly, I don't listen to anyone. Sometimes I listen, but mostly I go with my own mind,” he added.

For sure Uno will follow his own ideas in the years to come but you can certainly expect to see him gracing the ice in shows for a while.

Timeline Part 3: May 2017 - June 2017

Previously: 2015 - April 2017 | Update to April 2015 - April 2017

As I mentioned before, I'll be doing these in smaller chunks because Tumblr keeps crashing when I do longer posts. In this edition, we'll look at Sussex PR from May 2017 to June 2017.

A quick note first. There isn't as many pieces from Meghan's mouthpieces during this window as there were earlier in the year. I suspect either a) Harry caught on to how much Meghan talked to the press so she scaled back to keep working him or b) the articles were handled when Meghan's team was scrubbing the internet.

This is also when we start seeing the Daily Mail start dripping hints about Meghan's dossier.

Here we go!

And as always, if you have updates, corrections, additions, please share!

6/26/2017: E News claims that Harry's discussion about modernizing the monarchy and his role in the modernized monarchy is him preparing for marriage.

Do you have any kind of rough timeline of events leading up to BOTB and during BOTB? Kind of like, when MC met 7, the rest of the band, when the band formed (when/if the relationship happened and ended), when The Fight was, and BOTB stages?

Ah. I had plans to make a timeline and I completely forgot. It was a BIG request. (Lucky I had a draft saved)

Apologies to all non-Americans! I'll try to add their ages to make it a bit easier to understand for those who may not know.

Middle school (7th grade) (11 - 12 years old)

Seven and MC meet as they are in the same class and have assigned seats together. Somehow they missed each other last year but they get close very quickly!

Middle school (8th grade) (13 - 14 years old)

They graduate from middle school and are best friends at this point. They go to each other's houses and hang out often. Spent all summer together. MC's parents are beginning to get busier and Seven's dad's presence is growing more sporadic again.

High School ( 14 - 18 years old)

They enter high school and end up in the same class as Rowan, Devyn, Jazzy, and Iris who enters about a month later as she moved homes.

Seven and MC start getting into music as most youth™ do. Seven and MC run around their own circles but remain close. Talks of music grow and jokes about starting a band become less jokes and more planning. Somehow they all end up in a band and are actually practicing in Devyn's garage.

As they get serious they start doing gigs. Small ones like school dances and birthday parties for the kids around town. They work part-time jobs and Rowan commissions art to scrounge up money for actual instruments they own instead of renting them out from the school's band club. They start making their own original music.

They release their first EP to, like, 20 sales hahaha but it's enough for them to stop doing covers and start getting serious about original music.

They graduate and keep playing.

After High School

They start releasing more music and start growing a steady following. Their music grows in popularity and with their gigs, they can start quitting their jobs and doing it full time, though the money is still tight. They're on a steady incline that only escalates once they hit 21 years old and have full freedom to gig wherever they want.

This is up to headcanon but I like to think that Seven and MC began dating at 21 years old (for those romancing seven.)

22 years old

Seven and MC get matching tattoos (once again, I leave this to headcanon). The band grows in popularity.

23 years old.

The vote happens + things start to break down. The fight and Seven officially leaves the band.

24 years old

Orion comes into the picture. Seven spends their bday alone but eventually joins Soft Violence.

25 years old

All of them trying to make a name for themself. Soft Violence blows up with Seven as lead singer.

26 years old

BOTB auditions.

--

SO it's been 3 years since the Seven fight, 2 since Orion came in and Soft Violence formed.

Everything happened really fast, but I prefer that the pain and everything is still fresh!

They deserved to be so happy together, they deserved to hug eachother and kiss eachother, and bonk their helmets together affectionately. They deserved to live in an apartment on earth/chorus and have a cat together, they deserved to run the joke into the ground that they didn't love eachother but held eachother in their arms every night. They deserved it so much after 21 years, we had one final chance and THEY DIVORCED????

I'm fine with doomed yaoi, im fine with obliterated yoai, but this was downright nuclear yoai. 7th circle of hell yoai. rapture yoai. multiversal implosion yoai. an all powerful deity came down and teased me with my dream ("come with me") then when i thought it was safe and my dream would manifest they threw me into The Pit for eternity to ever contemplate that the idea even crossed my mind yaoi.

My feelings will likely pass with time and I'll remember that im taking Restoration as a simulation (with parts taken from Restoration as post-s17 stuff), but im still REELING from how a celebration, swansong, love letter to the fans, didn't give us--dare i say--the biggest and most widely known "FAN-BASED THING" (heavy quotations bc we all know its cannon) from Red vs Blue. I get it was their thing, Grif leaves military, Simmons leads. BUT IT WAS ESTABLISHED GRIF COULD LITERALLY NOT STAND BEING AWAY FROM THE REDS AND BLUES AND SIMMONS HAS NOBODY TO LEAD RRRRRRRR.

Tune in next week for Jay being angry about never being able to get actual official confirmation of Grimmons outside of a scrapped script. (not to insult Rooster Teeths grave, im just salty bc Grimmons is my biggest OTP from any thing ever and I genuinely thoughts it was gonna happen finally >:'[ )

I watched this movie on Netflix, it's called Lapata Ladies. And it was a good one. I really liked it. Loved seeing how they made the Indian villages very much how they usually are.

I went to a temple yesterday. And honestly, it felt so good to get out of the house and just do something. I'm happy the exam is coming, I'll have almost a month before my next exams, I'll be able to relax.
