22. until the end of time (final)

Yn waits at the meeting place, a nice spot in the park under falling petals of sakuras. Perhaps the dreamy, romantic atmosphere can somehow enchant Sunghoon into giving Yn a chance.

He put an effort and thought into his look to sway the odds in his favour. While he's almost sure his favourite reading spot will turn to a place of heartbreak, a reminder of a failed first love, he decided to not give up right away, so he foolishly granted himself a sliver of hope to cling to.

He sits anxiously on the bench, fidgeting with the small gift in his hands and going over his admitedly sappy speech. Perhaps he should've written it down. Or maybe even ask some kind of AI to write it for him. He's not here yet, maybe Yn can cancel last minute and ask to reschedule so he can prepa-

"Yn!"

Nevermind.

Sunghoon strides towards a petrified Yn, turned to stone by how needlessly handsome Sunghoon looks as if he just looked into the eyes of a medusa.

"Did you wait long?" He asks, sitting down too close for Yn's sanity's comfort.

"No. You're right on time."

"So, what are we doing? You were pretty cryptic about it." He states. he isn't wrong. Yn did ask him to meet at the most random time seemingly for no reason at all. Yn is sure Sunghoon is smart enough to know a surprise is coming.

Well, surprise is one way to put it. Yn would describe it more like a slap that came out of nowhere. Or maybe even an guerilla style ambush, depending on how appaled Sunghoon will be in a minute or two.

"There something I need to tell you." He says, getting up and picks a place in front of Sunghoon to stand on. He hands him the gift he prepared - small red box. Sunghoon opens it with warm yet slightly confused smile. There's a simple silver pendant inside, in the shape of the sickle moon.

"Yn, what is this?"

"I bought it because I noticed the Moon was always at this stage when some important things happened between us. The night I had a nightmare and you came to me, the night you kissed me, when I became your blood servant and..." He trails off and takes a deep breath to take the final leap.

"And?"

"And when I realized I have feelings for you."

"Y-you what?" Sunghoon asks and stands up so abruptly Yn takes a step back in surprise.

"I like you." He repeats, looking down on his feet. "I'm sorry."

Yn can't lie, he's a little mad that he wasted all the time coming up with a perfect confession for nothing, but at least the truth is out.

It hangs in the air between them, a big question mark burning right below it. Will Sunghoon accept his clumsy confession, or will he let him down?

Turns out neither option came true, because instead of talking Sunghoon invades Yn's space with one long stride. With his finger curled under Yn's chin, he makes him meet his eyes and connects their lips moments after.

It's very different from their first kiss but not quite. It's all feelings and no passion, no lust or need but Yn feels butterflies in his stomach all the same.

Either way, it's the best answer Yn could hope for.

Much to Sunghoon's dismay, Yn pulls away the moment he hears someone approaching.

"I'm gonna go ahead and assume you like me too."

"God, you have no idea how much." He says, still sounding as if he can't believe the situation.

"I guess now we belong to each other completely."

A/n: another smau successfully and happily behind us. Thank you once again for all the love and support you've given Bitter Blood and I'll see you soon with lovesick Matthew in Intertwined <3

vedic astrology symbols & motifs pt 3

1. Serpent symbolism

Zendaya wearing a Roberto Cavalli dress with twin serpents on the back. She has her saturn & ketu in UBP.

She's also the ambassador for Bvlgari, a brand known for its iconic serpent motif. Fellow ambassador Priyanka Chopra also has serpent yoni (Rohini moon)

Julianne Moore, mrigashira moon wearing a dress featuring cobras

Kendall Jenner, UBP moon wearing a dress with snake imagery

Charlize Theron, ashlesha sun & mercury wearing a serpent pendant.

Cardi B, mrigashira ketu as Medusa

Rohini Mars, uma thurman as medusa in percy jackson

2. Punarvasu girls often play the Trophy Wife or the Dream Girl in media.

Malin Ackerman (punarvasu moon) played the titular Trophy Wife in the sitcom of the same name

Sofia Vergara (punarvasu sun & moon) plays Gloria Pritchett in modern family who is a classic example of a trophy wife.

Kaley Cuoco (punarvasu moon) plays Penny in TBBT. Penny is a quintessential "dream girl" type character.

Punarvasu moon Drew Barrymore plays a version of this role in nearly every romcom she's ever been in.

3. I have a soft spot for Virgo-Cancer couples. Virgo is considered the most masculine sign and Cancer is the most feminine sign. Sexual polarity is what drives a relationship and this could be why these couples are so fun to watch on screen and even irl.

Jay on the show, Modern Family is played by Ed O'Neill who is Purvaphalguni moon (tropical virgo) and Sofia Vergara, who plays his wife, has Punarvasu moon (tropical cancer).

Ed O'Neill was on the show Married With Children, where Katey Sagal played his wife. She has Pushya moon and Punarvasu Ketu. Its interesting how his two most well known characters are both husbands on shows about families with wives played by Cancer girlies👀

Chris Hemsworth is a Purvaphalguni sun and Uttaraphalguni moon and he is married to Elsa Pataky who is Punarvasu sun and Revati moon. Pisces is opposite to Virgo and opposite signs have insane chemistry.

I'll make a separate post about how movies often pair actors with opposite signs to play a couple and how this happens in real life as well (opposites attract 😏)

Priyanka Chopra is a Punarvasu sun and Nick Jonas is a Uttaraphalguni sun and stellium.

in Bridget Jones' Diary, Mark Darcy is played by Purvaphalguni sun Colin Firth and Bridget is played by Ashlesha moon Renee Zellwegger.

The OG romcom pairing. Adam Sandler, Purvaphalguni sun and Drew Barrymore who is Punarvasu moon.

Purvaphalguni sun, Hugh Grant and Pushya rising Julia Roberts in Notting Hill.

another iconic romcom pairing, Purvaphalguni sun Richard Gere with Pushya rising Julia Roberts.

6. I find a connection between Ashlesha and plastic surgery. Ashlesha is the star of restriction and its tightly coiled by nature. These natives often express their severity through their self-presentation. On another note, these tropical Leo natives become sidereal Cancers and while Leos are known for being extremely self conscious and prone to fluctuating self esteem, adding a layer of Cancerian sensitivity makes things worse for them. Their self-image becomes extremely personal and they feel a need to master perfectionism. (in my perspective, switching to sidereal does not cancel out one's tropical signs, it adds another layer or texture to it. Leos are so sensitive and picky, why? because they are sidereal Cancers underneath the surface. some Cancers are very typically girly and domestic whereas others are not? because they're split between the gemini and cancer signs in sidereal)

Now a lot of celebs get work done, especially these days but I think there are some celebrities who are known for their plastic surgery and these are just a few off the top of my head.

Megan Fox, ashlesha moon.

Kylie Jenner, ashlesha sun

Bella Hadid, ashlesha mars

Sridevi, ashlesha sun and stellium.

(she had already had some work done in the first pic) Sridevi is probably one of the first Indian actors to get plastic surgery back in the 70s/80s and was known for it.

Versace medusa pendant necklace

[blueiscoool]

A Roman Gold Necklace and Pendant, circa 1st/3rd Century A.D.

With linked double-loop chain, the pendent roundel repoussé in high relief with the winged head of Medusa within twisted wire filigree borders, her hair a wild mass of unruly locks, the serpent’s tails knotted beneath her chin. Length 37 cm.

[theflytingfox]

This piece began with a literal dream - I had a dream that I was crocheting a Medusa plushie.

Of course, since I am currently not crocheting, I was unable to make the dream a reality. I did try to figure it out though...😂

Fast forward a month or so, I came across this amazing Medusa pendant and I had that bolt of lightning sensation hit me. I knew then, that I needed to make a chainmail piece with the pendant as the centerpiece.

This is the result! The weave is offset Byzantine using 2 sizes of 18 gauge rings. There are over 500 rings in this necklace so it was a true labor of love!

The camera just does not capture how dynamic this piece is in person. It is a statement piece for sure.

Character Notes from my Medusa Novel

So I've been working on a novel that's an alternate ending for Medusa and her sisters, and I wanted to share some character notes for the gorgons because I thought Tumblr might be into that sort of thing.

Medusa

Personality wise, she's a very shy, very stubborn young woman who's got a strong sense of justice. She's a passionate person who doesn't bother with anything she doesn't feel very strongly about. Not the best at communicating with people, she tends to just make Eurayle and Perseus talk for her. Her greatest flaw would probably be either her stubbornness or her tendency to shut people out emotionally due to trauma.

Her weapon is a labrys and she navigates the world with an enchanted blindfold that she can see clearly from, but that hides her eyes from everyone else.

Medusa's passions in life would be her mercenary work, martial arts, blacksmithing, horses, and food. She can be bribed with humus, fruit, or cheese.

Pegasus is her horse, she found him as a foal in this version. She spoils him rotten. He's about as opinionated as she is (ie a lot)

Useless lesbian.

Medusa named her snakes. One that used to be an annoying cowlick in her hair turned into a very stubborn, anti authority snake that refuses to listen to her. His name is Ovid as a joke.

As a child, Medusa was scared of gorgoneia on pottery, bowls, coins, and pendants she'd see around the temple.

Her unique trait would be her power to turn people to stone with her eyes. She doesn't like to use it because she'd rather have a real fight. Athena decided not to give her wings or a tail because Medusa always reminded her of Pallas, which made her hesitate to completely alter her.

Despite having been an avid swimmer as a child, and unknowingly the daughter of primordial sea gods, she has a crippling fear of water.

Medusa and Eurayle are usually partners in crime when it comes to mischief, but she's Stheno's baby so she usually gets away with it.

Medusa's main struggle over the course of the novel is twofold: on a physical level, she's trying to protect a woman who's being hunted down by every god, demigod, and mercenary in a hundred mile radius, on a personal level she's struggling with her often crippling PTSD.

Eurayle

Eurayle is the boisterous, optimistic middle sister of the Gorgons. She's flirty, crass, and often gets herself into trouble. On the surface, she's an open book with a habit of over sharing, but she's actually more emotionally distant than she lets on, making a habit of joking about her trauma while never actually addressing the hurt.

Eurayle is a bard with a magical instrument that can turn into any other instrument, but she prefers to play it as a lyre. She's a talented singer and composer who plays for tips on their travels.

Chaotic bisexual with a strong preference for women.

She insists that she was proposed to by a princess as a child, but nobody believes her. She refuses to marry until the original princess comes back for her, despite joking about wanting to be a sugar baby.

She has vitiligo.

Uniquely to her, she has wings and a powerful scream. Her scream is deadly because her extremely loud shrieking is what got the attention of Athena, and she has wings because she always wanted to fly away.

She HATED being a priestess with a burning passion and is happier traveling around as a gorgon than she ever was at the temple.

Stheno

Stheno is quiet and serious with a short temper. She's usually the voice of reason in the group. She's protective and nurturing, but also burnt out from having raised her younger sisters as a child and continuing to have to mother them as adults.

Her gift was a shifting hammer that can be used for any job, whether it be combat or carpentry. She takes a lot of pride in her martial prowess and craftsmanship.

Sex repulsed asexual aromantic.

Stheno is a creature of routine who thrives with rules. She loved life at the temple because of the structure, her excuse to never marry, and that she was able to keep her sisters close. As orphans they had few options and Stheno was often stressed out by the possibility of one of Eurayle's antics jeopardizing their place there when they were younger.

Stheno's form is different from her sisters' in that she has the lower half of a snake, including a rattle that Euryale tries to get her to incorporate into her music. The fucked up reason for her having a snake tail is that she was "the best at keeping her legs shut".

She finds baking cathartic because kneading bread is like a productive way of hitting something. Her food is baked with rage 🧡

Rage is a reoccurring issue. She just snapped under the pressure of the compounding trauma after Medusa's assault and now struggles to control her temper. Stheno was abandoned with her three year old and infant sisters when she was seven, raised in a rigid religious institution, constantly had the knowledge that if they were ever kicked out she would struggle to support her sisters looming over her head, and then ended up witnessing her sister being raped and all three of them getting punished for it. Stheno no longer has the capacity to stuff down her feelings and she's going to yell about it, at people, the sky, a passing rabbit who looked at her funny, whoever happens to be in the way.
