Has @one-coming-is-enough been asked about catering for wine? I heard somewhere he’s good at that, unless one of the grooms helped at that other gathering. Bread and fish also, I think, if memory serves.

Just curious.

I remember talking about wine and the fact we had a couple Jesus’s coming but nothing definitively I remember.

@one-coming-is-enough would you be so kind as to provide wine for the wedding? I can gather some water-bearers for you if needed.

Back with some more design tweaks, for Aquarius this time! When I first designed her, taking the pretty vague concept of the water bearer + air sign + a jagged looking symbol made me go the thunderstorm route for her design and powers. And while I have still have that here, my main goal with the design tweaks for the zodiac in particular is to have as many iconic elements of each sign as possible, as some of them have very few to work with when interpreting them into characters. The only element that I've seen for this sign is the urn/vase of Aquarius that holds and pours the water, so this time around I incorporated that into her sword and a bit of her clothing as well. Her cape can carry a flow of water and air magic as she pleases, though the size of the cloud changes based on how much energy she has left. I reused the drawing I had of her head and face, but the pose is new and I’m really happy with how it came out! A good reminder to check my silhouettes from time to time when looking at the group as a whole.

Like Water

The five (former) guardians of Kandrakar returned to Heatherfield and were ready to resume their daily lives. Everything is back to normal. Except it isn't. At least for Irma.

For the longest time, she was facing a battle. A battle that can be resolved within her. It is not easy to discover her sexuality. Well, no. The discovery was the easy part.

Dealing with it, facing it, and admitting it is the hardest. Especially when you have your fair share of internalized homophobia.

Irma was successful in this battle. But, just as she was getting the hang of it, she began catching feelings -- and for a friend!

She internally laughs at this cruel cosmic joke thrown at her. Of all the people she can fall in love with, why does it have to be Cornelia Hale?

Yep. Cornelia Hale, former Earth Guardian and the campus ice queen, beaming with elegance from head to toe. Cornelia Hale, with whom she always has a round of verbal sparring. Cornelia Hale, currently in a relationship with Taranee's older brother.

If this thing happened to another person, Irma would have been amused. Right now, she feels like water. Come to think of it, she feels more like her element now than when she was still the Water Guardian.

Like water. Calm, collected, and yet, full of struggles beneath the surface. A dangerous turmoil ready to spill, ready to destroy.

And Irma did spill. On their last day in Kandrakar, she bore her heart out. She told Cornelia how she felt. Cornelia, elegant as ever, received her emotions with grace.

However, the ambiguity of it all bothered Irma. Did Cornelia understand what she was trying to say? Was she as clear as an untouched river on a bright, summer day?

Like water, ready to destroy. And Irma was destroyed.

Upon coming back to Heatherfield, Cornelia quickly called Peter and asked to be picked up. She sounded happy. Irma can only look as Peter arrived and the couple shared a kiss.

She can almost hear her heart break. Irma managed to catch a glimpse of Hay Lin briefly looking at her with concern and, in the end, just gave an optimistic smile.

Irma smiled. The only thing to do now is move forward. Even rivers eventually become the sea.

Just two more weeks and they are graduating.

She will eventually move out of Heatherfield. She will emerge from her shell, welcoming her newfound confidence and maybe, just maybe, forget about Cornelia Hale.

I think the single most confusing thing about astrology has to be Aquarius. So it’s symbol or whatever is a WATER bearer. But, it’s an AIR sign. da fuq???????????? how high was whoever came up with this shit??? 😭😭😭

My astrology observations: Aquarius

As a Scorpio sun Gemini moon Leo rising

*I am not an expert AT ALLLLL!!!

AQUARIUS! In my experience, Aquarians are cool. Even if they're super uncool, I find them very cool, because they intently love their passions. It's not that they try to be cool or out of the mainstream, they just genuinely are think outside of the box and genuinely have more eclectic tastes.

Looking at my Aquarius friends, they're often the ones who often like the most random TV shows, books, movies- but a lot of times it's good stuff. Not all the time lollll.

Aquarians are people who often stop to look at the big picture of life. In my experience, they're often good at English, theology, or something that synthesizes ideas to get to the heart of something that matters. I betcha if you can get them out of their shell, Aquarians would tell you the most interesting of life stories.

As I have read, Aquarius is the mirror sign of Leo. While Leo is the golden talent that incites everyman charisma, Aquarius often is jarring to the masses. I think Leos kinda reflect joy of being alive, and often are vibing in any system - but Aquarians are the ones who stop and say "wait - is this system ok?" Both aspects are good, but I think this disrupting factor plus the big picture awareness is one reason Aquarians are often known as outcasts or black sheep in their families or hometowns.

A lot of activists are Aquarians. They like to question the status quo and make sure everyone is being treated fairly. Abraham Lincoln and Oprah Winfrey are two examples of Aquarians. So obviously we want that kind of energy in the world - but people often don't like to see where they're going wrong, so sometimes Aquarians get hate for this.

There's a stereotype that Aquarians are cold and unemotional. Tbh I think that some of this is actually a little more dependent on the moon sign. It's never good to put people in boxes, and Aquarians can be very emotional. I think some of the perception of coldness can sometimes come from being on big picture mode. Aquarians get upset by genuine unkindness, and want to be kind themselves, but in my experience they're often not as worried about pleasantries which can make some people find them uncomfy or rude. These placements aren't really "how was your day" / "what nice weather" sort of people.

Some of this also has to do with their dedication to authenticity at whatever cost. Whereas a libra might be more likely to be sweet to anyone in a convo, even if they don't really like the person, Aquarians are less likely to people please or pretend to feel good when they don't.

Every person is different, and I can only presume to find general themes across people, strengthened by online research... but I'd say because Aquarians are committed to genuine individuality, they're even a little harder to generalize. The generalization is that they're all kinda doing their own thing.

Another thing about Aquarius is that the sign rules some aspects of friendship. I think another skill of a lot of Aquarians is being able to appreciate other people as they are, which often leads to Aquarians, even if they sometimes come off a little weird and awkward, to having strong committed friend groups.

A lot of gen Z has an Aquarius placement (I believe Neptune in Aquarius??) and in my opinion that's part of why a lot of us, across our varying personalities, all can kind of appreciate weird memes, bizarre humor, technology (also something associated with Aquarius) and social issues.

As for weaknesses of Aquarians... stuff I've noticed is that sometimes they are so convinced they are right, they don't want to listen to another viewpoint. As a fixed air sign, they may need to watch out for fixed mental states. However they can also be very good listeners... I think it's because they often do have a good viewpoint or perspective, and that they do care about humanity, that sometimes when they hit a blindspot, it's hard to convince them out of it.

One Aquarius in my life, for example, sees a lot of conversational pleasantries as disingenuous people pleasing. I at once really appreciate her perspective and commitment to authenticity, but I also feel like there's got to be some kind of merit to meeting someone where they're at on their wavelength? Idk. Maybe that's my libra mercury talking. :)

Along with sometimes being overly stubborn in their views, another thing I've noticed with Aquarians is having a weird relationship with self esteem. I feel like often they're either a little obsessed with their unique cool "right" worldview, or they're so "zoomed out" on perspective that they think they don't matter. Idk maybe that's the human condition. Anyway, if you balance the two, I think that's a good place to be.

Overall, although like I'm always saying everyone is different and you can't put someone into a box just based on sign, I am an Aquarius fan. Although there are definitely some Aquarians that annoy me, in general I find Aquarians to be thoughtful, good, interesting people who are true to themselves and true to humanity. They may get some side eyes or judgment thrown their way, but they continue to be some of the coolest people walking around, making the world a better and more interesting place.

Aquarius: Hopeful Vision Grounded in Darkness

Aquarius, the eleventh sign of the zodiac, is often celebrated for its forward-thinking innovation, humanitarian ideals, and unique ability to envision a better future. As a fixed air sign, Aquarius governs the period from approximately January 20th to February 18th – a time when the days are lengthening, yet the nights remain dominant. This transitional phase in the solar cycle highlights…
