The constellation of Gemini // Dawson Fehr

Read below the cut for info about what stars are in this image!

The two bright stars are Castor (blue) and Pollux (white). Pollux (β Geminorum) and Castor (α Geminorum) are named after the two twins from Greek mythology. Their mother was the mortal Leda, but they shared different fathers. Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine son of Zeus. Pollux asked Zeus to share his immortality with Castor and so they were transformed into the constellation of Gemini.

Other bright stars included in this image are (ordered from bright to dim):

Alhena (γ Geminorum), named after the Arabic phrase Al Han'ah, meaning "the brand [on the neck of the camel]". This is a binary system with the primary being a blue-white subgiant star.

Mebsuta (ε Geminorum), named after the Arabic word Mabsūṭah, referring to an outstretched lion's paw. This is a white supergiant star.

Alzirr (ξ Geminorum), named after the Arabic word al-zirr, meaning "the button." This is a potential binary system, with the primary being a white subgiant star.

Wasat (δ Geminorum), derived from an Arabic word meaning "middle." This is a triple star system, with the primary being a white subgiant star.

κ Geminorum, a white giant star in a binary system.

λ Geminorum, a blue-white giant star in a possible binary system.

θ Geminorum, a single blue-white subgiant star.

Mekbuda (ζ Geminorum), named after an Arabic phrase meaning "the lion's folded paw." It shares this derivation with ε Geminorum. This star is a white supergiant star.

υ Geminorum, a single red giant star.

τ Geminorum, a single red giant star with a Jupiter-mass exoplanet.

Gemini Constellation: Stars, Myth, and Location (2024)

Gemini constellation The Gemini constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the Zodiac. It is also known as the Twins and has its roots in Greek mythology. It appears in the fascinating story of the Gemini twins mythology, Pollux and Castor.

Gemini is easy to spot in the sky. It lies northeast of Orion and between Taurus and Cancer. It has two bright stars, with the Gemini twin names, each indicating the position of their heads.

You can see Gemini in both hemispheres and it is a great constellation for home stargazers to view. It contains a number of interesting objects, including Messier 35.

It is also known for the incredibly beautiful Medusa Nebula, named after a dreadful Greek Gemini mythological character. Read on to find out all about the Gemini twins and Gemini constellation facts.

Strange Case about Sorceress Giana

Warning: Because i'm not an expert in astronomy, i may confuse some things.

So, a few days ago I read an interesting thread about our beloved Sorceress Giana. And somehow, that thread makes me question anything about Sorceress Giana we met in the game

1. The name Giana

So in KR ver, Sorceress Giana name is spelled as "Giena". If we add it up with what we known so far about Sorceress Giana, I think it can be concluded that Giana is supposed to represent Epsilon Cygni from Cygnus Constellation.

Coincidentally, another star also shared the same name.

Now, Epsilon Cygni official name is "Aljanah". But they have another name, which is "Gienah".

Corvus (Crow) Constellation brightest star, Gamma Corvi, is also officially named "Gienah".

Ngl, when I first heard about Giana I thought she's going to represent Corvus Constellation, Considering the naming of other main characters and side character (who is named after their constellation brightest star). I was kind of surprised when I get to the part where it revealed that Sorceress Giana is from Cygnus.

But i kept thinking, why would Sorceress Giana use Epsilon Cygni another name rather than it's official name, which is Aljanah?

It almost like they wanted us to mistake Giana is from Corvus somehow.

I mean, wouldn't it be easier to use her official name?

2. Giana's Title

So from Vega, we know that Sorceress Giana is currently The Fourth Sorcerer of Cygnus

Here's the interesting things. Epsilon is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet ( Ε, ε ).

I'm going to use Pollux here for example. The star Pollux is Beta Geminorum or β Gem, from the second letter of Greek alphabet. And Artw Pollux, despite being the brightest star of his constellation, is introduced as The Second Sorcerer of Gemini.

By that, shouldn't Giana title be "The Fifth Sorcerer of Cygnus"?

Funny thing is, Gamma Corvi Giena is the third, while Epsilon Cygni Giena is the fifth.

Artw Giana, being the fourth, will somehow put her between Gamma (3) and Epsilon (5).

Bonus: Polaris and Pole Star

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but Cygnus Constellation brightest star, Deneb, will be the North Pole Star around 9800 AD, the title currently held by Polaris.

And Vega, Alpha Lyrae, will succeed Deneb and will become the North Star at 14,500 AD

Even without the speculation above, It's strange that there's no mention of mention Deneb even once in the game.....considering Deneb being part of Summer triangle (and Vega has mentioned Altair before)

Rie [Sabbath of Castor] Part 1

Rie: Eloim, Essaim, Eloim, Essaim, frugativi et appelavi! [1] 

Rie: Heheheh….Hark! For this night is the eve of my nativity. At this very hour we must needs confirm the proceedings for the ceremony of my earthly nascence.

Rie: And so! I summon thee, blood of my blood. Heed my voice and appear before me at once!

Mei: You called?

Rie: I sure did! That was quick.

Mei: I figured it was best to get it over with.

Mei: Otherwise you would have kept messaging me with those weird incantations.

Mei: So, what is it?

Rie: I was wondering if you were, er…doing anything tomorrow?

Mei: I am, as a matter of fact. I’ll be doing something very important.

Rie: O-oh…I see. That’s, um…that’s disappointing, but it happens…

Mei: Disappointing? I’ll be celebrating your ‘nativity’.

Rie: Huh?

Mei: After all this time, you hardly need to ask if I’m doing anything on your birthday.

Rie: Oh…oho! I see now! So that is what you meant!

Mei: Is that why you wanted to talk to me?

Rie: Yes, I wanted to confirm if we would be spending the day together…

Mei: I have it all planned out. I won’t tell you where we’re going, but all you need to do is follow me.

Rie: Huh? I don’t think you’ve done anything like that before. What’s brought this on, Mei?

Mei: …Tomorrow.

Rie: Tomorrow?

Mei: We’ll talk about it tomorrow, if an opportunity arises.

Rie: Oh, sure… I’m not sure I understand, but! I leave tomorrow in your capable hands.

Mei: Good. We’re not going particularly far, so we’ll leave around noon.

Mei: …Will that be all? I have clan wars to get back to.

Rie: Y-yeah. Sorry for interrupting you.

Mei leaves.

Rie: I don’t have any idea what she’s planning, but it sounds like she’s put a lot of thought into it. I’m looking forward to it.

Rie: Hehe. I wonder where she’ll take me.

---

Mei: Here we are.

Rie: It’s Ikebukuro! Gosh, it sure has been a while.

Mei: We used to come here all the time when we were younger.

Rie: Indeed. It was but a single train ride away, after all.

Mei: At first, your mother would take us.

Rie: Yeah.

Mei: And then, when we were old enough to go by ourselves, it was just the two of us.

Rie: I guess we kind of just stopped going after we moved to the dorm?

Mei: Indeed. That is why I chose it as the site for our celebration of your nativity.

Rie: Makes sense.

Mei: Follow me.

Mei: Oh, and…here.

Rie: What’s this? A parasol?

Mei: The sun’s UV rays are stronger than you’d think in the winter. The light of the sun is the bane of the children of darkness, is it not?

Rie: That’s true! I should have brought one too.

Mei: You tend to forget the finishing touches like that.

Rie: Ngh…

Rie: Huh? What about you?

Mei: I only brought the one. Today’s all about you, so you should use it.

Rie: I can’t just leave you high and dry! Here, there’s plenty of room for both of us. Come on in.

Mei: …Okay.

To be continued...in Part 2

Notes

The card title alludes to Castor, a figure from Greek myth and one of the Dioscuri twins along with his brother Pollux. In their most popular stories, Castor was fully human and mortal while Pollux was immortal and a son of Zeus. They are also associated with the constellation Gemini, with the two brightest stars in the constellation (Alpha and Beta Geminorum) also being known as Castor and Pollux.

[1] Rie recites an invocation that appears to trace back to the "Grand Grimoire", a European book purporting to contain instructions relating to summoning demons. The chant is somewhat popular in anime and manga, seemingly first being used by Akuma-kun and perhaps most notably seen in Your Lie in April.

Here's an article by an actual historian tracing the path the phrase has taken (nothing here is important for the card story but I just think it's genuinely interesting): https://er.ceres.rub.de/index.php/ER/article/view/10440/9928

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

playful ~ curious ~ ambitious

Gemini, (Latin: “Twins”) in astronomy, zodiacal constellation lying in the northern sky between Cancer and Taurus, at about 7 hours right ascension and 22° north declination. Its brightest stars are Castor and Pollux (Alpha and Beta Geminorum); Pollux is the brighter of the two, with a magnitude of 1.15, and is the 17th brightest star in the sky. The summer solstice, the northernmost point reached by the Sun in its annual apparent journey among the stars, lies in Gemini. This constellation also contains the isolated pulsar Geminga.

In astrology, Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about May 21 to about June 21. It is represented by a set of twins (or in Egyptian astrology by a pair of goats and in Arabian astrology by a pair of peacocks). In addition to their identification as Castor and Pollux, the twins have also been related to other celebrated pairs, such as the younger and older Horus or Romulus and Remus.

“Geminis are flexible, extroverted, and clever and there’s never a boring moment while they’re around.”

Astrological sign and it’s spiritual links

Tarot card

The Lovers card represents having two strong options, and the need to make a decision between them: two people, two choices, two sides, etc. The depiction of Adam and Eve in The Lovers card symbolizes duality -- they are two halves of a greater whole. The man is gazing forward, because he represents physical presence. The woman, however, is looking upward, representing an intuitive presence. With the combined forces of body and mind, they create one whole, just like the Gemini Twins. These Twins are not actually identical twins, but represent two sides of the same person, two halves.

Andromeda, S. (2019). Gemini. Hardie Grant.

The Gemini mind is quick, agile and full of dazzling brilliance. Gemini, have the ability to enlighten other people’s minds. When times are tough and people feel dark, sombre and overwhelmed by life’s changes, they have the wonderful ability to be able to humour them and make them feel as if it’s not all as bad as it appears to be.

[ID: Two page comic of Lemon and Tangerine from Bullet Train, with text from the Wikipedia page on the brothers Castor and Pollux and Nemean Odes 10 throughout the two pages. The first page reads, “Castor and Pollux (or Polydeukes) are twin half-brothers” over two frames of Lemon and Tangerine fighting over whether they killed 16 or 17 people, then “Castor and Pollux are sometimes both mortal, sometimes both divine.” There is a drawing of Lemon saying, “I never bleed.” in stylized text, then the Wikipedia entry continues: “One consistent point is that if only one of them is immortal, it is Pollux.”

The second page is in two halves, the first half being Tangerine taking off his pendant to give to Lemon. Some parts of the drawing are in colour, some are in greyscale. Over it, the Wikipedia entry reads: “Returning to the dying Castor, Pollux was given the choice by Zeus of spending all his time on Mount Olympus or giving half his immortality to his mortal brother.” The excerpt from the Nemean 10 follows: “‘But nevertheless I grant you your choice in this. If you wish to escape death and hated old age, and to dwell in Olympus yourself with me and Athena and Ares of the dark spear, you can have this lot. But if you strive to save your brother, and intend to share everything equally with him, then you may breathe for half the time below the earth, and for half the time in the golden homes of heaven.’ When Zeus had spoken thus, Polydeuces did not have a second thought.” The second half of the page is a drawing of the scene where Lemon sits next to Tangerine’s dead body. Both are covered in blood and the sunrise is shining on them through the train’s window.

somewhere,     in the regions fruition & embrace.    there were two   (   a masculine  & feminine version of the netherworlds standard.  )  pennants of  magnetism,  beauty,  the ugliness were only existing from their separate view.  & as perceived,   from hell at least,  the smudge & those flaws were particularly sewed in such delicate style.      as if every trauma,   encounter,    sensation had been foredoomed to a point of such a precision,   

it could have been meant.   (  so it was,    & it’s this derision which carves  &  casts their enigmas.    almost cosmically attracting,       almost fated. )      the romeo   & juliet of the underworld would be a pitted amusement,   yet  towed  within the depths of the realm in which they suit were no laughing matter.       (   they could wear their flesh,  emboss the living corpses,  drape & fill themselves to  cusp.  )         & yet still remain empty,   barren of earthly purposes where they would instead thrive in the silent valleys   & hot capes within the under earth,  which is hell.    

the alpha geminorum,   the natural process of what would be a consummation of a spiritual level,   shared in vision,   depravity,   endued of almost the same texture of cloth for a better sacrifice.   (     the throw of that beauty is not immediately recognized,    but her claret red,     &   flower embed body.. shaped solely of confidence refines the foresight  )     the man is a nightsade figure,  with an impulsory  perception.     who hovers relatively close for the slightest peak of this woman,   who haunts him like the dead at a grave site.             they live in the womb of the living,       & he’s not so sure he’s meant to stay.    so implore him this..    

someone he’d know would be generally attractive,    wealthy in appearance    &   probably  self absorbed.   he intuits her ability to  seem disinterested in just about everything within reach :    expensive liquor,      the occasional blown off male suitor   & the provided entertainment.      he’s hoping to provide with some.. 

  ❝ you look bored,    it looks sad and pathetic actually.    you must be drinking water,      how about something more potent than.. whatever this is.        ❞  he goes on to staunchly spout her drink,    & exchange with something alot more stout.  ​

&   here i am,   nearly extinct.   she is incapable of sweetness that is not stolen,   a florisugent being  /  red earth to this matriarchal hymnal. she will be well-read,   the binding broken a thousand times for the same few chapters,  red inked in the margins  &  waterlogged as supine in ivory bathyals. in what image were you made?   blasphemous,  elysian or gorged on the concept of avarice.  we watch their cheeks bulge,  like wine skin  &  question their intoxication.   

it’s casual of history to forget the origin of sin,  as eve whence of adams rib,  yet man as deific,  esoteric,  kind.   it’s mythology.     a thousand lifetimes still could not fathom the concept of a figure in the sky,  a watchful creator of famine,  disease   &   the death we strive to outrun   (an eventuality decreed as evil,   irreconcilable of hourglass souls).    

“  do you hear yourself?   ”      his scent burns like a vineyard watered by lethe, intoxicating in its saccharin,  full - bodied hypnos.     still,   just like her;  deathless.   where is the peace promised?   a clepsydra of what dazes   &   washes over,   but does not soothe.   the fervour that descends her flesh is not with chagrin   (so vivid,  a cornucopia,  stunning as narcissi).  it plashed in her navel,  white-hot   &    irascible.

“   i’ll go back to being pathetic in my own company,  ”   the tone is saturated by her vicious nature.  taking the drink now offered,   her expression is stilled  &   ire-scorched  (blackened in the definitions).   the fornication encircle her womb;  made of marble   &   sulphurous adulteries to grieve in a dream.  liquors seep into her,  in a glass capsule,   dulling   &   stilling.   you smile.  no,  it is not fatal.    where was hecate? i will be palatable,  she thought,   is no poultice of her psyche.   should she be made that way?   or retain her acrimony    as sloe fruits in season come   &   tower-crowned mother of the rotten grain   (demeter   &   the avenging dead),  the silent lemures,   in fear with dripping ambrosial fingers.  she salivates at the thought.      

“   you’re boring.   find someone else to bother.    ”

They exist in the polar region of Iota Geminorum IV, aka the Tribble Homeworld. Tribbles are Puffles. Club penguin mostly takes place pre first contact but there are multiple instances of alien abduction, which is how tribbles/puffles first began to spread through the alpha and beta quadrants.

A few double stars in the northern skies // Dark Rangers

Rasalgethi (α Herculis) is a true multiple star system, a triple star system. The name comes from the Arabic phrase ra'is al-jāthī meaning "head of the kneeler," the "kneeler" being Hercules.

Polaris (α Ursae Minoris) is another true triple star system. The name comes from Neo-Latin stella polaris meaning, unsurprisingly, "polar star."

Mizar (ζ Ursae Majoris) is a quadruple star system, with each pair being seen as a "single" star. The name comes from the Arabic word mi'zar meaning "apron, wrapper, or covering."

Almach (γ Andromedae) is a quadruple star system. The name comes from the Arabic word al-'anāq meaning "the caracal," also known as a desert lynx.

Albireo (β Cygni) is probably a visual binary, meaning the two stars just happen to be close to each other on the sky. The name has an uncertain origin, tracing back to Ptolemy.

Castor (α Geminorum) is a sextuple star system, made up of three pairs of stars. The name has its origin in the Greek myth of the twins Castor and Pollux.

🙌 + lucie

Send me 🙌 and a muse you’re curious about, and I’ll tell you more about them.

LUCIE RYU, THE HEAVENLY TWIN.

GERAL: Lucie é a gêmea que nasceu primeiro do casal Ryu, com um pouco mais de três minutos de diferença entre ela e Charity. Seu nome faz referência à Lucie Manette de A Tale Of Two Cities por Charles Dickens, e diz que tem apego às obras do autor para agradar os seus pais. Sua cor favorita é lilás e ama itens de papelaria, já que precisa ter uma agenda bonita e organizada para viver bem.

ESTRELA: A estrela de Lucie é Castor (Alpha Geminorum), a segunda estrela mais brilhante da constelação de Gemini. Como resultado, a estrela de Cherry é Pollux e juntas compõem o mito dos gêmeos celestiais.

FAMÍLIA: A pessoa de quem é mais próxima é, sem dúvidas, sua gêmea. Faria qualquer coisa por ela, tal como assumir todas as responsabilidades para que Cherry possa seguir a carreira que desejar. Lucie costuma ser ambiciosa e ter seus objetivos bem definidos, mas se algo for de desejo da gêmea abre mão na mesma hora. Não pode falar que seus pais são um poço de amor e compreensão, no entanto, não deixaram que nada faltasse para ela. É a quem tem mais noção sobre como o casamento dos dois é puramente de fachada para manter a empresa de eventos sem maiores escândalos, e o peso desse segredo fez com que ela não acreditasse em amor romântico por um longo tempo. Está mais para uma boa funcionária do que filha, já que seus elogios são sobre seu desempenho no trabalho e poucas demonstrações de afeto são vistas entre eles.

RELACIONAMENTOS: Por conta da relação dos pais, Lucie é distante emocionalmente com pessoas que não são a sua gêmea. Ainda assim, tentou manter alguns namoros, mas eles nunca iam para frente — bem, pelo menos ela terminou com dois amigos próximos. Ela é difícil de se lidar quando tentam se aproximar demais: de início, Lucie é super simpática e fofa, algo que aprendeu desde cedo por conta da profissão dos pais. Uma cerimonialista tem que ser solícita, organizada, direta e com pulso firme, algo que ela tenta seguir todos os dias. Entretanto, esse “pulso firme” acaba virando raiva muito fácil, algo que ela tenta manter escondido à todo o custo (o que não acaba acontecendo). Por isso consegue contar nos dedos as pessoas que a conhecem de verdade e não se afugentaram por ser esquentada.

TALENTOS: Está envolvida com os eventos dos pais desde que se entende por gente, e acabou criando uma certa sensibilidade para lidar com as noivas em seu dia especial. Querendo ou não sempre se emociona durante cerimônias,  genuinamente tentando o seu melhor para que tudo saia corretamente. Além de entender muito bem as noivas e seus pedidos, tem um bom senso estético e consegue planejar qualquer coisa de mãos atadas. Seus hobbies são caligrafia (para decorar seu bullet journal), fazer sabonetes e velas para dar de presente, além de ter criado gosto por arranjos florais com o passar do tempo. Gosta de praticar atividades físicas para liberar tensão, sendo mais violenta do que gostaria durante as aulas de boxe.

general terms for groups of multiple genders by proportion

A discussion with @libragender led to the realization that there are several terms for multiple genders and for partial genders, but not many more granular terms for multiple genders or the combination of these.

My apologies for the extreme nerdiness inherent in this. I hope you will find the terms useful!

These can be used on their own or as adjectives for another term or system- it may also be useful to use shorthand terms from something like the alloy system, but I’m unsure if the creator of that system is okay with using them like that.

the list is organized like:

- identity (star namesake): explanation

dualgender:

- spicic (alpha virginis): when one has two genders of fairly similar proportions

- almazic (epsilon aurigae): when one has two genders but one is confusing or obscured

- siric (alpha canis majoris): when one has two genders of varying proportions

- procyonic (alpha canis minoris): see siric, but the proportions are counter to the standard assumption (perhaps use in conjunction with “libragender”, unless there’s a counter term?)

- miric (omicron ceti): when one has two genders that fluctuate in proportion

- cygnic (cygnus x-1): when one has either one or two genders, but a strong component of one’s gender identity is agender or demigender 

trigender:

- gliesic (gliese 667): when one has three genders of fairly similar proportion

- rigikenic (alpha centuari): when one has three genders, two of which are much more prominent than the third

- polaric (alpha ursae minoris): when one has three genders, one of which is more prominent than the other two

- fomalhic (alpha piscis austrini): when one has three genders of varying proportion

- algolic (beta persei): when one has three to four genders that fluctuate in proportion

- quvidelic (qv telescopii): when one has three to five genders with some components being agender or demigenders

tetragender:

- xitauric (xi tauri): when one has four genders of fairly similar proportion

- capellic (alpha aurigae): when one has four genders, two of which are major and two of which are minor

- mizaric (zeta ursae majoris): when one has four genders of varying proportion

quingender

- dabihic (beta capricorni): when one has five genders of fairly similar proportion

- mintakic (delta orionis): when one has five genders of varying proportion

- almachic (gamma andromedae): when one has five to six genders that fluctuate in proportion

hexagender

- betucic (beta tucanae): when one has six genders of fairly similar proportion

- castoric (alpha geminorum): when one has six genders of varying proportion

- sagatic (sagittarius a*): when one has six or more genders with some components being agender or demigenders

septegender+:

- djabbanic (nu scorpii): when one has seven or more genders of fairly similar proportion

- arcassic (AR cassiopeiae): when one has seven or more genders of varying proportion

- trapezic (trapezium cluster): when one has more than seven genders that fluctuate in proportion to each other, or if one has many genders of chaotic proportions

I’d love to hear your feedback, especially if you have suggestions for things I missed or if I misuse anything! @lgbtqiarchive @variant-archive
