Astrology Observations #7

Hi! Sorry I've been gone for so long. Life has been so busy and I've barely had any time to dedicate to astrology, but I'm planning to hopefully start posting a lot more regularly :) Enjoy!

💜People without Taurus or Libra placements in their chart can struggle with being original when it comes to fashion, design, and beauty. It's not that they don't value these things, but they feel like they need a lot of inspo before developing their personal aesthetics. This can come a lot more naturally for Taurus and Libra placements, who are ruled by Venus.

💜A lack of fire placements in the chart can result in really struggling with motivation and drive. Laziness and passiveness can be a problem. Fire dominant people tend to approach issues, obstacles or dreams head on with little contemplation time. I've noticed this the most with Aries moons, where impulsiveness can be both a challenge and a benefit in achieving goals.

💜Pisces and Sagittarius risings/Jupiter in the 1st can come across as wise teachers, yet they can be a little bit too preachy over their beliefs and believe that if everyone just listened to them and followed their advice, life would be better lol. Also, people with these placements often find that others naturally come to them for advice and appreciate their wisdom.

💜I love north node conjunct AC synastry. The north node person can view the AC person as representing an absolute ideal, someone they really admire and aspire to be. They may feel they don't yet have the confidence to step into that energy, but the AC person's influence can really help them build that confidence and step into their true selves.

💜I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely love to see sun/venus/mars placements in opposition in marriages. I've seen so many successful and happy marriages with this synastry. There can be this very supportive and balancing energy between them. I haven't seen this as often with opposite moon signs though, as this sensitive energy can create differences in emotional needs that are more challenging to navigate romantically.

💜Jupiter in the 11th tend to receive so much luck and blessings in their life through their friendships. Very optimistic friends. They can also just really benefit from being a part of groups in general. Also, a great placement for gaining a large following online.

💜Uranus in the 6th are people who NEED variety and uniqueness in their daily lives. There could be something about their routines that are unusual and exciting. Also, these are the people that always seem to have something strange or odd happening to them. They always have a new story to tell you about something weird that happened to them recently.

💜I've seen so many people experience sudden major career changes when Uranus transited over their MC. It tends to be a very electric and exciting time in their career and reputation overall.

💜Natal mercury retrograde people can overcommunicate a lot because they don't want there to be any room for potential miscommunication or misunderstanding.

💜I can't emphasize enough how important it is to dive deep into your moon and north node placements if you're feeling lost and unfulfilled. This is where you'll find your happiness and purpose. Of course, looking at the entire birth chart is always important, but I've had the most success with these two placements when it comes to these life areas.

💜If someone has their Jupiter in your 5th, this person can be someone who really lights you up and makes you feel more creative and childlike. Just being around them feels so fun and good. You enjoy doing a lot of the same hobbies together.

💜Capricorn/Saturn in the 12th have such intense subconscious fears of failure. These fears can even pop up in their dreams a lot. They can find themselves working so hard without really stopping to question why they're working so hard. They can also take their work very seriously. The type to never take time off work.

💜I don't think I've ever met a Taurus sun I didn't like. Just so down to earth and honest. They don't have time for games or putting on a facade. Their authenticity is so admirable to me as a Scorpio. They're one of the few signs where I don't find myself questioning what they say or do. This is also true for a lot of Taurus risings as well. It's just so easy to be myself around them.

💜Mars trine Neptune people have a beautiful harmony between their dreams and their drive. They're great at turning their fantasies into reality. Incredible at manifesting. On the other hand, Saturn square Neptune people have a hard time blending the two. They struggle constantly between diving fully into their dreams or limiting themselves to a more restrictive reality.

It's patch day for Baldur's Gate 3, so you know what that means

Time to Ctrl+F Minthara in the patch notes to see what they've done to my wife this time. (below the cut in case anyone wants to go into patch 8 blind)

Bug fixes, lots of bug fixes. Holy fuck her Emperor dialogue has been bugged one way or the other for as long as I've been playing.

But what's this about Thaniel? You can't have him without Halsin, but there's no mention of Halsin and Minthara interactions here. So I guess previous patches stand, and Minthara will just steal his tent spot, but now Thaniel won't remain at Halsin's (former) spot. Gotta say, I was looking forward to Babysitter Minthara when I restarted my Tav run, so that's a bit of a disappointment. Oh well, bug fixes are still good.

I'm super curious about this one, I don't recall which dialogue this is. They don't specify Durge, which has a bugged dialogue option. This is counted as a writing change, so hopefully previously datamine-only line? Gods know she has a lot of those.

Also speaking of that:

I'm sorry, does this mean her unused early access SWD lines are finally going in the game??

Could this mean her lines mentioning her daughter are now in the game? Is Momthara canon now?

I don't dare hope until I see it myself, but if so this is HUGE for lore implications!

This on the other hand, has me worried. Are they implying they patched her act 1 silence trick? I sure fucking hope not, us Minthara fuckers have been starved for content, that was our last thing we had! You scrapped durge breakup in its infancy, don't ruin this for us too! 😭

The rest is general bug fixes, usually related to random NPCs aggroing on her specifically. Coulda done something with that, like how the paladin in BG1 will turn on Viconia and your other evil companions, and you have to pick who to side with. Obviously the dickhead paladin would have to die in my games.

I've never encountered this bug specifically. Obviously I'll be testing my Murder Method to keep Karlach and Wyll after completing Raid the Grove, so nice yet another potential roadblock to that exploit is gone.

Damn... what you wrote about fimq really brought back a lot of the past for me. I've been a larrie since 2012 and i have never understood why antis have always gone through such lengths with their hate for us. Like most of us are grown adults now and they still act like children, then accuse us of being the toxic ones, when clearly the type of antis that doxxed and threatened Ellie are much worse. It was so bad that i even remember thinking if the ones who did that to her were part of a higher power in their label/management (don't blame me i've watched a lot of videos on conspiracies lol about the dark things the music industry is capable of doing), but after a lot of thinking i'm like wow harry and louis genuinely have awful fans. Harry - the nicest most chill person and celebrity whose motto is literally treat people with kindness - has fans that are capable of threatening someone's life for their beliefs, Louis - who is literally sunshine in human form - has fans that doxx people for believing he loves another man. And it all comes down to that, how the world is still disgustingly homophobic like you have said in the past few days. I honestly think if i was h&l and if my contracts gave me the freedom to come out, i would still choose to keep my love private from all the disgusting fans who would want to see it fail. That's why if they decide to never come out, i would completely understand it and respect it. And i'm sorry for saying this, i know you don't like swift lol, but their whole relationship reminds me of her song but daddy i love him "I'll tell you something about my good name, It's mine alone to disgrace. I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing. God save the most judgmental creeps Who say they want what's best for me Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see. Thinking it can change the beat Of my heart when he touches me

And counteract the chemistry And undo the destiny". Like that's antis! Thinking that being so hateful they can stop how much h&l love each other. They're so immature too, i saw a tiktok of a louie complaining about mcdomlinson hating her not because it was an obvious PR but about how louis would look so much better with her, and she's in her 30s already. Like i also used to have parasocial relationships with 1d as a teenager, i think a lot of fans did, but as a full grown adult? That's just weird. And i know that h&l know not all their fans are like that, but it's still embarrassing how such a loud majority of the fandom is like that. Anyways, sorry Gina for sending you such a long ask. I just wanted to get that off my chest.

No apologies necessary (except for making me read Switie's lyrics LOL!). I think many of us feel the same way you do. Harry and Louis deserve privacy and deserve to share their lives on their own terms.

*taps mic* testing testing I have an announcement to make

okay so uhhhhh how do i say this

to put it briefly: I need beta readers for this story that I'm writing.

I'm currently in the process of writing a book. like an actual book. and it's my very first time writing an actual book, and I am currently going through the various highs and lows of being a writer. I don't plan on actually publishing this thing any time soon—maybe in a few years when I'm financially independent and have much more writing experience. however, this is a story I've been thinking about telling for about a year, and I really want to ensure that it's the best it can be.

some of my older mutuals will already know about my extensive lore involving my zodiac characters, and I'm sorry to say that this story is not about them. my ideas for my those characters have unfortunately stagnated and not really gone anywhere. I don't really know how long it'll take for me to become interested in them again. however, this story that I'm writing is set in the same universe as the zodiacs, and some of them will be briefly referenced.

now, what is my book about?

its title is The Many Masks of Chau Huynh.

"In a world where demons and angels and gods solely hold all the capabilities of magic, humans are compelled to take magic by force. Everybody knows that the only way to get magic is to fight a demon or an angel, take the energy that flows through them, and grow ever stronger. But only the most power hungry would deign to do this.

Welcome to Hunter Society, an organization made up of the most power hungry assassins, spies, hitmen, and mercenaries the world has ever seen. They operate in the shadows of every country—some motivated by the sole promise of money, some motivated purely by the thrill of the job. All are prodigies. All are very, very dangerous. After all, it is likely they have fought forces of nature for their own gain. Who would dare to challenge them?

Demons and humans have been at odds for centuries. Demons have loathed humans for killing their brethren for sport and for power. Humans feel the same. But what rarely ever comes to light is this: humans have been taking credit for the accomplishments of demons for thousands of years.

History is made by the winners. In human museums all across the continent of Astralis sits art made by demons—elaborate paintings, decorated sculptures, shining pieces of jewelry. They stand there, akin to the spoils of war.

Chau Huynh plans to force this entire system to a screeching halt. Raised by demons, Chau Huynh considers themselves barely human at all. Their heritage lies with demons. They will do anything to gain recognition from their demonic brethren.

Even if it means planning the biggest heist the Kingdom of Hydrokhoos has ever seen.

Two years to accomplish this mission. Countless pieces of art to locate. Four Hunters to help them achieve their goal.

They will make sure they succeed, no matter the cost."

i realize that I am actually shit at writing summaries, so I hope you'll forgive me.

there will be 60 chapters in total, with an additional prologue and epilogue. each chapter will alternate between the five POVs of the five main characters. the themes that I plan to address in this book are gender roles, life and death, identity, and family.

I don't really have any other means of uploading my work, so I will be using AO3. chapters will update weekly, on friday.

please, please, please, do not go easy on me with your comments. I know I am a good writer, but I am not the best writer. there are many flaws that I can't pick out by myself. I need other people to point out what I can improve on, what I can fix, what I can develop further.

(I mean, compliments also wouldn't hurt though lolol)

the AO3 link is here. the prologue is uploaded, and the first chapter will be uploaded this friday. I will also be posting weekly updates on Tumblr. if you'd like to be a beta reader for my story, you can comment on AO3 itself, or you can leave comments on my Tumblr update posts. again, please tell me what I can fix and what I can improve on.

much apologies for tagging you guys: @mythicalmagical-monkeyman @hyperfixation-tangentopia @cryptidwithaninternetconnection @filijester @maiawhimsicalt @illumiiiz @sweet-star-cookie @addrianastarflower @probably-a-human-being @stars-and-birds @hecateisalesbian @bloodied-dagger @thegh0st-of-ingrid @hoisinblackcat @starboy2461 @ventiilatte @gvtz-xd @renaorsomething @professionalwaterbender @yourlocalapplejuice @im-just-here-for-the-comics-r18 @iirexenii

if you don't want to be tagged in future posts relating to TMMCH, please let me know!

thank you so much for reading if you've made it this long, and I hope you enjoy my new book!!! - tabs

008. heiwh. my a/n r like me & my mood swings

you knew something was off the second penelope garcia's voice cracked over the phone.

"we… we lost reid."

you didn't question. didn't wait for instructions. you didn't even recall picking up your badge or how you found yourself behind the wheel. all you knew was spencer was gone, & you are not drinking your homemade juice until he gets the first sip.

because that man was everything to you.

sweet, lovely spencer, who had peppermint tea on the shelf just because you liked it. who read strange russian poetry in your ear when you couldn't sleep. who cradled your hand under the table at meetings like it was some kind of shared joke only the two of you shared. who always made you feel loved. spencer whom you wish to spend your entire life with. & now someone took him?

no—no, no, no, no, no.

garcia had already given you the location. which means his kidnapping was▰what? hours ago? & they only told you now?

your car hardly stopped before you were out, slamming the door shut behind you. backup? plan? none.

the warehouse door swung open like it was in your debt.

"spencer!" you bellowed, your voice echoing through the building. "where is he?!"

some dude yelped from the other side of the room.

you didn't wait. gun up. heart pounding. "if you touched, i swear to god▰"

"whoa, whoa, shit! relax! i didn't even hurt him!" the unsub exclaimed, as if that excused it.

you kicked open the back room door so hard it creaked.

& there he was.

tied to a chair. not one scratch on him. drinking out of a juice box. ( your homemade juice definitely tasted better than that. )

he looked up, blinked, & then smiled at you like you were a jane austen heroine & he was finally on the last page.

"hi, sweetheart."

you nearly collapsed.

"what the hell," you panted, already hurrying to him. falling to your knees, scanning his face, his neck, his wrists▰anything. "are you okay? are you hurt?"

he shook his head, serene as always. "i'm fine. he just needed bargaining power. honestly? i think he regrets it."

you didn't even glance▰just nodded back at the unsub. "you're lucky you're a pussy.”

the guy whimpered.

right then, the other team members came charging in, ready for battle, only to stop. pause. to process▰what the fuck?

you were kneeling before reid, still holding his face as if he were going to evaporate if you let go.

he was staring at you like you hung the freaking stars.

the unsub? oh, he definitely regrets his decisions in life.

morgan blinked. "well, damn."

"i think i'm in love with her now." emily joked. but the shock on her voice was there.

jj could only mutter, "this is honestly better than any soap opera out there."

hotch stepped forward, unreadable but voice calm. "you okay, reid?"

spencer nodded, eyes only on you. "i am now."

later, at your apartment, he curled up in bed in his softest sweater( that you bought for him. ) you sat beside him, still too wired to sleep, fingers tracing lazy circles over his shoulder like you were making sure he was real.

"you could've died," you breathed.

"but i didn't," he replied softly.

you leaned forward, kissed his temple, his jaw, the end of his nose. "you're too calm."

he smiled a little. "i mean… i got kidnapped by a guy who thought duct tape was a good plan."

"you're not funny."

"i'm a little funny."

you frowned, but then crumpled & he caught you quickly.

"i didn't know if i'd see you again," you mumbled into his chest.

"you would have," he said, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. "i knew you'd come."

"how?"

he smiled, all crooked & soft & annoying in the way that made your heart ache. skip a beat. beat too fast. burst.

"because no one storms like you do."

you laughed, all wet & oh, so, so shattered. "storms don't get scared."

he cradled your face like you were holy. "even hurricanes have eyes, angel."

you kissed him hard for that. & again. & again. kissing him like you'd die if you didn't.

he let you. smiled into it. sleepy & soft & safe.

eventually, you crawled under the blanket with him, clinging like you'd never release him again. your heart rate slowed to sync with his.

right before you fell asleep, he whispered in your ear:

"i'll never stop choosing you."

"morning," emily said nonchalantly as spencer entered the office, cardigan on, curls a little messy. & clearly a man who'd been spoiled & kissed within an inch of his life.

"hey, lover boy," morgan chimed in, grinning like a psychopath.

spencer blinked. "…are we doing this already?"

jj didn't bother looking up. "cherry girl. that's it. it's official now."

"she does smell like cherries," garcia breathed from the tech room. "like a poisoned fruit basket when she's angry."

"you're just mad you didn't come up with it first," emily teased. "cherry girl. has range. sweetest thing alive▰until someone gets near her man."

"she actually threw a chair," morgan said, "not at anyone. just, like, as a warning. that's one hell of a cherry."

hotch passed by, didn't even glance up at his folder. "remember me to bring her for interviews next time. we'll divide our work into halves." gods, even hotch is participating in the teasing.

rossi looked out of his office. "never heard a suspect beg to go back to jail before."

spencer was brewing coffee & hesitated. "you're all making fun of her."

jj smiled. "we're complimenting her, spence."

he blinked, then relaxed. "oh. good. because… i like her a lot."

"that much was clear when you smiled while zip-tied," emily noted.

"you literally said, 'she'll be here soon without even saying it,'" garcia said in a faraway voice. "'she's intimidating when she's angry, but in a hot way.'"

"i never said hot," spencer grumbled.

"you thought it," morgan laughed. "& honestly? same."

"she stormed in like a final boss," jj said. "yelling like the guy borrowed her favorite book & dog-eared it."

spencer rested on garcia's desk, chin in hand, totally lost. "she didn't even blink. it was like… like i vanished & the world just froze until she found me."

it fell silent for a moment.

garcia let out a small gasp. "oh no. he's adorable."

“she checked my pulse three times,” spencer said quietly. “made sure they didn’t nick me by cutting the zip ties. & then she just… held me. & it all felt okay again.”

morgan raised a brow. “and you’re not proposing?”

spencer turned bright red. “i▰i didn’t say that.”

“ohhh,” garcia squealed. “you have a plan.”

jj grinned. “you’ve got a ring already.”

hotch strolled by once more, still inscrutable. "as long as we don't have to rescue you from a love declaration next."

"i won't require a rescue," spencer muttered.

he got out his phone & typed with a small smile.

boygenius — 💘

just thinking about last night. you smelled like cherries & adrenaline.

you looked like war & home simultaneously.

i've never loved you more.

p.s. if you want to yell at me some more, be my guest. it was kinda hot. hopefully that doesn't make you uncomfortable.

p.p.s. dinner tonight? the non-kidnapped variety?

he hit send.

let's say you didn't just have dinner that night.

HI THERE

I have been gone for so damn long I'm so sorry but here's a life update

Work has been super stressful, I've been covering for someone on long service leave and managing the lawyer she assists as well as doing the job of who I assist. While I've been doing that, I've essentially been unable to take any days off so that the lady also helping me doesn't get overwhelmed since she has cancer, and have been sick on and off for weeks.

I've also done another drag show so have prepared for that, and otherwise just trying to exist lmao.

I still am here!!!! I have tried to not be distracted by social media or anything so I'm really sorry I dipped 😔😔😔😔😔😔 I love you!!!

If you would like to see me when I do update rarely though, follow b0vinomicon on insta. I post art sometimes.

Sorting the BTS Members into Hogwarts Houses bc I can

My credentials: I have two hyper fixations in my life, the only two things I actually care about, the only two things I spend all day and night thinking about and they are: Harry Potter and BTS.

Without further ado, here is how I would sort them

THERE ARE ONLY TWO THAT I AM CERTAIN OF, ONLY TWO THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT THEY ARE IN THESE HOUSES AND THEY ARE: 

Jung Hoseok: Hufflepuff

Where tf else would he go

Sweetie pie

Chill

Always trying to be nice to everyone and make everyone seem loved and appreciated 

Possibly a stoner 

OBSCENELY humble and cool 

Mom Friend™

Min Yoongi: Slytherin

Smart as fuck

Knows what he’s good at and doesn’t need any validation whatsoever 

Not unwilling to cheat in order to win a game 

Along that note: Competitive 

EXTREMELY prideful in where he came from

Confident 

NOW AS FOR THE NEXT TWO, I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN ON WHAT HOUSE THEY WOULD BE PLACED IN, BUT I COULD SEE ARGUMENTS MADE FOR OTHERS. THEY ARE: 

Kim Seokjin: Gryffindor (?)

Cool Guy™

Funny, class clown type 

Studies well, but prefers to do just about anything else 

Competative, but moreso in theory

Like he goes to all the quidditch matches and screams so loudly for his team, and talks made shit on whoever they’re playing against, but would never actually play the sport. 

Overly Confident 

HOWEVER

I could literally see him being sorted into any of the houses and it making sense. 

Hufflepuff? 

Sure, he’s a chill guy. 

Prefers to spend his time relaxing rather than doing things

Has known how to sneak into the kitchens since first year, and does it almost nightly. 

Ravenclaw? 

Why not? He’s smart and works hard 

Dad jokes are basically cheesy riddles, so he can get into the common room no problem 

Would probably be studying anything other than what’s been assigned to him. 

Slytherin? 

He might not fit in perfectly, but the traits are there

Smart mouthed and overly confident 

Doesn’t need validation from anyone 

Competative - very okay with cheating/lying in order to win the game 

It’s all in the name of fun, right? 

He could be literally any of them bro idek at this point.

Kim Taehyung: Hufflepuff

All for chilling the fuck out

Sporatically hyper 

Also possibly a stoner 

Doesn’t like when others are left out 

LOVES ANIMALS 

Also class clown vibes but more like he just wasn’t paying attention and was accidentally funny when he was called on

BUT I could see the argument for Ravenclaw:

So smart bro 

Would have an absolute blast with the riddles 

Probably loves researching niche topics that have nothing to do with anything but he’d much rather know if polyjuice potion would give it’s user the same ailments as the person they’re becoming than complete the essay McGonogall assigned two weeks ago 

You can’t really tell if he's just really smart or a little crazy (affectionate) 

NOW, WE MOVE ONTO THE BANE OF MY EXISTANCE, FOR HE IS SPLIT DEADASS DOWN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN TWO HOUSES, AND I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME DECIDE WHICH ONE IS MORE ACCURATE. I PRESENT TO YOU: 

Park Jimin: Slytherin/Hufflepuff

He’s a Slytherin because: 

Smart, but make it mischievous 

Knows exactly how to get what he wants 

Very sure of himself 

C O M P E T A T I V E 

Get’s top grades and will tell everyone about it 

Generally not unwilling to cut a bitch 

But he’s a Hufflepuff because:

The most loyal and empathetic man to maybe have ever existed 

Will do anything to make his friends/loved ones happy 

There are more important things than academics (still gets top grades though)

Generally not unwilling to cut a bitch 

AND FINALLY, THIS LAST SECTION COULD’VE GONE INTO THE SECOND SECTION JUST FINE, BUT I’M PETTY AND DISAGREE WITH NAMJOON’S SORTING DECISIONS (that he made like 7 years ago) AND LIKE I CAN SEE HIS POINT BUT HE’S SO WRONG. FINALLY, AT LONG LAST, WE HAVE: 

Jeon Jungkook: Ravenclaw/Gryffindor 

He’s a Ravenclaw because: 

Very smart, and he definitely prides himself on it to some degree

A true Jack of all Trades 

Wants to be the best at everything, and is very willing to work towards getting it

Namjoon said he’d be a Ravenclaw (and who am I to argue with Joonie?) 

But he’s a Gryffindor because: 

Outwardly, he’s the most Gryffindor person you could get 

Competative 

Athletic 

Academically driven 

Popular Jock type 

A mischievous little shit 

Seriously, would make the Marauders proud 

But he would take the house cup so fucking seriously guys 

I cannot stress that enough 

If they lost even one of the years he attended Hogwarts

He’d never let it go. It would keep him up at night for years to come 

(And I feel like that’s a very Gryffindor trait)

(Turns out I’m very willing to argue with Joonie. Sorry, babe)

Note: Regardless of all of this, I think it'd would be hilarious if Jungkook was still sorted into Ravenclaw. He's just outwardly extremely Gryffindor, bringing complete chaos and unprecedented success to Ravenclaw that they haven't seen in centuries. 10/10 concept.

SPEAKING OF JOON: 

Kim Namjoon: Gryffindor/Ravenclaw 

He’s a Gryffindor Because: 

Outrageous amounts of leadership potential 

Because Namjoon said he’d be a Gryffin– damn I already made that joke

But he’s a Ravenclaw because: 

Do I really have to say it? 

The smartest person I’ve never met 

An actual genius 

Would get top grades but only because he’s smart so everyone expects him to 

Would much rather be researching literally anything else 

Animagi 

Unicorns

The Philosopher's Stone

Literally anything because he’s in a magic school and anything’s possible 

(He would also be muggleborn, but that’s more of my own headcannon)

Really couldn’t give a fuck less about Quidditch 

Or winning the house cup 

Wtf is house pride? I’m just here to read, man

ALSO, in my PROFESSIONAL OPINION, he would really fw Divination, and I generally just don't think Gryffindor's really do, because it's so theoretical.

If you have any other points that I've overlooked please let me know, I love talking about this kind of shit.

I was so excited for this there were exactly 20 different things I wanted to draw !!!! but I've already taken so long so here They

[lightnersdream-archive]

i've been thinking about exactly why people portraying one of the other crew members successfully killing Jimmy as a "for what you did to Anya" kind of thing rubs me the wrong way a bit and it's because like..... this is just another form of taking agency away from Anya, in a way. it's kind of framing her as some meek, shivery woman-thing who's entirely at the mercy of the men around her, either to hurt her or save her.

(i understand these are mostly for wish fulfillment on the audience's behalf because everyone would like to see Jimmy pay for his crimes. whether or not this is the intention of the person writing it isn't really relevant, characterization happens with or without intent. i feel like it misses the point by portraying it as an 'ideal ending'.)

because... Anya is a capable person. she takes things into her own hands when she can. it was partially(?) her idea to get into the cargo,

(before he interrupts her.. remember when she interrupted Curly in the dead pixel segment?)

it was her idea to get the code scanner from the cockpit,

it was her idea to get the medication from behind the foam.

(the chance to do these things herself is not given to her.)

she'd been keeping Curly alive for months in a critical state somehow, her psych evaluations at the start are only so useless because Jimmy refuses to take it/her seriously and Curly is obviously biased when he puts it into his own hands. he's known him a long time, like he said. "I'll just put good for that one."

there's not a lot of material to work with because of how the game is framed, but it's there. we are working with two very biased perspectives and neither one lends Anya what she deserves

there's significant changes in how she speaks post- and pre- crash, and depending on who she happens to be talking to. i recommend re-reading her dialogue, because the difference is drastic

she acts the way she does around Jimmy because he has tangibly done horrible things to her, is actively hostile, and physically could not escape him by any means. she can't take away Curly's agency herself, in my eyes. you have to remember that Especially in the post-crash segments of the game, it's entirely from Jimmy's POV, and he obviously does not (and has never) thought very highly of her or treated her with a shred of respect

i've seen a general idea that she can't bear to hurt other people for any reason, but that doesn't really track to me. this is the real point of the post by the way

it seems based on the parts where she says she struggles to give Curly medication. "It just hurts him so much, I can't stand the noise." "It makes me nauseous."

it's not really the same thing as, say, hurting someone in self defense

this sounds like she did want the gun itself. this never felt worded like someone who would refuse to, at very least, threaten Jimmy with a gun, with violence. if she had been given the agency to make that decision on her own. she wasn't though

she still tries to reclaim some of it even as she's denied it

by the end she's still trying to keep that gun out of his hands

i think some people overly soften her, for similar reasons the game itself is trying to comment on. she's not a tender victim who couldn't cause pain to another out of the softness of her soul, she's a person who's had every last bit of agency ripped from her repeatedly until she couldn't take it anymore. that's the point. that's why framing her that way, "needing" someone to save her, is odd to me

she didn't need Curly to save her, she needed him to take responsibility

she didn't want to escalate things, but she's not an idiot. self defense was absolutely on her mind

but who knows im just saying shit *smiles serenely*

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

Junicrane/Starstruck Ramble

I will not be brief, all under the cut

To clear some things right off the bat:

No corpse, no proof with Juniper. Obligatory this is set in a canon where he's alive and adjacent to the agency in some way.

Reggie & Juniper are just gay to me, but I don't mind any interpretation of their sexuality

The games are set in 1967/68 to me (based on a couple bits in game) which is before it was legal to be gay in America at least (1971), which is relevant to how I interpret canon as being somewhat grounded in reality, despite unrealistic elements.

This is just an insane amount of headcanons/elements of and AU all culminated into one post. I will talk about some headcanons like they're just facts because they are established in my head, and it saves me over explaining literally everything, however I will explain some parts a little bit for clarity.

Alright. Actual beginning of the ramble:

Juniper is a character to me who had gotten so lost in his job as an actor and a social presence that in the end his whole life revolved around that 'role'. Because of this, by the time he's put into the situation where he's around the Agency, he basically knows nothing about himself, though he doesn't realise at first. Furthermore, what little identity he had has changed in so many ways. He's no longer a beloved famous actor in the prominence of public light, he's legally dead and he tarnished his career just before he was supposed to die, with the bonus of that making him lose the majority of his estate. From that, he also has horrific facial scarring from the electrical burns from literally having his face fried. I believe a friend of mine made a post about this a while ago (I also think they were the first to think it up also), but, to me, Juniper has a permanent trimmer in his right arm (aka his dominant hand) from the electrical current and it is messing with his nervous system.

All in all, he's not doing great, but he's too proud to admit that he's not doing great, because if anything, what's left of his ego is all he has as a defense since he's deep in unfamiliar water.

Before ending up around the agency (I have multiple interpretations of this, so I'm just going to bring it up generally), he'd never actually seen Reggie, and his only impression of him is a single voicemail, which was his only reference he had to later impersonate him. Juniper probably has very little feelings other than the ones he projects onto him because of Phoenix and that, at the very least, he's physically attracted to Reggie to some degree (that's like the beginning of how everything else would tumble into place in this sort of interpretation at least).

And on Crane's side? His feelings towards Juniper are probably very intense and muddled. On the one hand, he adores musical theatre, and that's his now ex-favourite actor. The thought of just casually being around him blows the bit of fanboy in him away at first because THAT'S the GUY, plus the inklings of a celebrity crush which still poke at him. And then there's the rational side of him, which knows Juniper has committed absolute atrocities on the side of Zoraxis, and hates him for that. Then there's how much Juniper comes off as an asshole at first because he refuses to cooperate with anything the Agency tried to put in place. He finds Juniper endlessly frustrating, and yet he's stuck working with him since, afterall, he's the one who knows the Agency's history with Juniper the best. I imagine him acting a lot like how he does IEYTD 1 around Juniper.

At this point, I'm just describing the pitch for a romcom.

I think the start of their relationship with one another largely started with Juniper trying to wind Crane up. It was a way of getting his attention, and I don't think Juniper knows why he's so dead set on that at first, because I don't think he realises he has a crush on 'this grump' at first. (I think that's actually the fun part about these two, because it's almost like a role reversal of the celebrity crush dynamic. This ex-big name actor has a TERRIBLE crush on an average joe and it is KILLING HIM.) But of course the Agency keeps them together because Juniper is at least conversing with Crane, so it's a start.

Through one way or another, they actually get talking casually, at least mildly at first. It takes Juniper a long time to fully deconstruct the wall he's built, and the thing is, Crane isn't the one trying to deconstruct it, at least at first, because yeah, Juniper realises if he wants Reggie to actually like him in any way, he can't keep winding him up. So they talk. Small talk at first, something rhythmic and almost easy to keep to a script. And over time that turns into actual conversations. Genuine ones in which Reggie rips out the occasional one of his jokes which Juniper is endlessly endeared about. The way he smiles just before he makes them, like he wants to chuckle at what he's about to say before he says it. That's probably when Juniper realised that he does have some vague crush on him, and that it wasn't going away.

This is what kickstarts John I can't-buy-you-things-to-impress-you-so-acts-of-service-it-is Juniper to do little things for him. It mostly starts off as him trying to make Reggie his tea how he likes it. However, the nerve damage in his arm makes that hard, as the weight of the kettle and trying to pour is hard all of a sudden. And he refuses to accept that, so he tries for a very long while. Long enough that Crane would go to investigate what was going on. And when he does see Juniper leaning over a cup with the kettle as he uneasily tries to pour it, and when Crane asks Juniper responds so matter-of-fact that his intention is nothing but genuine. And it catches Reggie off guard because Juniper hadn't done anything like that up to that point, and his very apparent vulnerability is so clearly on show.

It shifts something between them.

From that point on, conversations are longer, more familiar. Both of their attitudes soften, and Reggie makes more jokes. Juniper learns how to better use his left hand while strengthening his right back to a point where it could be used again. Slowly, they're both spending time with one another not because they have to, but just because they can. Little bits at first, not too far outside what they already were doing, but those little bits turned into long bits to a point where the other person's company was genuinely desirable.

As time passes, Juniper probably realises that he doesn't genuinely know much about himself or what hobbies he's into, because he never really had the time when he got big, and his home life in his youth wasn't bad, but it wasn't picturesque. I think Reggie would pick up on it, and absolutely try to introduce him to some things he's into. Some things stick, other things don't (corn husking very much stays Reggie's passion, and John will go with him sometimes because it's him, but it's not something he strongly cares for). Crane introduces him to a lot of music, and it's something that becomes a staple between them, with tracks they listen to more than others (tragically, I know relatively little about 60s music so I couldn't really say what). Occasionally they dance, never anything intense, think slow dancing, but the closeness is nice.

Through all of it, Juniper is battling the worst crush of his life, and he can't stand it, because I think he struggles to read people since he doesn't have anything like a script or a director to refer back to, so he has no idea if Reggie likes him back or if he's just desperate for that to be true. I think because of that any sort of confession between them would be incredibly raw, not only because of the time they live in making it hard for them to be truthful about how they love, but because it's a complete show of Juniper who's worked to be this better person. I don't exactly know how that would go, mainly because I don't have one set version of their dynamic, this post is just a generalisation of main consistent points.

Reggie does like him back, because he's gotten used to Juniper being just this guy, not a figure in the public eye, not a Zoraxis lackey, and not any sort of Agency operative (despite being under their care to some degree). He's someone he genuinely cares for, because they've given one another the time of day to learn one another, and I think because Reggie was a field agent, he was a lot better at reading Juniper than Juniper was at reading him. Eventually Juniper's company becomes something he could see around him for the rest of his life, and I think he accepts that he likes Juniper a lot more gracefully.

I think any affection directed at Juniper would at first be met with him feeling a little muddled. Reggie was a very physically affectionate person when he could be, and sure the initial flirting with one another came with the occasional little touches, but everything now was so deeply intentional. I also don't think Juniper would almost ever get over the novelty of being able to kiss him, or many other gestures, because it made the fact that they were together so very real, and it was great. I do think it comes easier to Reggie, and it's a big way of showing how much he cares, so it's important for Juniper to try and show it back because he knows how much it means to the other.

I like the idea of them eventually living with one another, too. I think Juniper would have always had a quiet little daydream of sorts where he does just live a domestic quiet life, and he can with Reggie (well, as close as they can get between the Agency and Zoraxis always being at odds), and he loves that, and he loves him, and it's immense.

I think they cook for one another a lot, it helps Juniper work on his dexterity in a controlled environment, which means a lot because it's a huge point of insecurity (that and his scars). He does improve, and Crane is proud of that and shows it and it's great. I also think they'd probably cook together too, because they can deal with being in the kitchen together and they work well with one another. It's probably a good way for them to unwind because over time they can do it in relative silence.

As I said before, I also think music is a staple in their household, and that Reggie listens to things on vinyl almost all of the time because he likes the background noise. Sometimes Juniper will catch him chuntering along to the music which he finds endlessly endearing. I wouldn't put it past his dramatic ass to also join in to fluster Reggie, but I also don't think Reggie would mind that terribly because Juniper has listened to the music enough to know the lyrics, and that's huge to him.

I don't think they are without rough patches, no relationship is, but I think the good part about them is that they're willing to talk about it (... eventually). They're used to long conversations, and while they're often less fun conversations, they're needed and they know that, and it works out.

Alright. I think I'm done for now. I haven't mentioned everything, but this definitely got the worst of it out of my system. If you ever want to hear any specific thoughts my ask box is open but other than that, behold my general dynamic for these two which has been festering in my head for years. I think they're great

[mobius-m-mobius]

Hello there!

I have to ask cause it's everywhere and apparently my husband and I didn't see it!

Aziraphale & Crowley were obvious to us as a couple but we didn't see this with Loki & Mobius (please people don't be mad 🙃). I saw a great love and a bond that will last forever but not the way we witnessed in Good Omens. To me it was more of a family thing. Like Mobius has two sons. Could be the representation of Thor and Loki. I don't know. I was so surprised when I saw all this on Tumblr. I want to rewatch the show now to see if I really missed all the signs.

Hi there! 😊 Thank you for the ask and please don't worry for wondering, part of the joy in a watching experience is being able to see something in a completely new light. I hope you've come to the right place as Lokius and Aziraphale/Crowley are the only romantic pairings that have stood out to me in ages but now for fairly different reasons so I'll do my best to explain why in my own personal view Lokius is a slow burn for the ages above and beyond all other love stories to me and I'd absolutely recommend rewatching Loki, especially season 2, with the mindset that the tropes of every good romance are present in *every* interaction Loki and Mobius have.

(adding a read more here as I feel this is about to get almost horrifically long if you'd like to know even some of the signs lol)

Right from the start we see Mobius recounting being a fan of Loki's most mischievous acts on the timeline, pushing the question of just why he's focused on ruling and nothing else, really getting under his skin in a way no one ever has before?? And in that there's something even better and deeper than love at first sight; intrigue. Loki's furious at being held by the TVA but can't help being drawn back to what an enigma Mobius is to brush off his insults and offer salvation in the face of knowing every good or bad thing Loki's ever done and believing in him anyway.

Cue the tentative partnership and rapport they both get far too comfortable in which you see when Mobius indulges in letting Loki ruin the mission at the renaissance fair and later tries to backtrack in reassuring Ravonna he's got things under control, then again when Loki realizes Mobius has been reading him too well and defaults to leaning in to "fix" his perfectly tied tie, a callback to when Mobius pointed out Loki has a tendency to try and seduce people in more powerful positions who could help him. You actually see Mobius lean in for a moment before realizing himself and pulling back, but contrary to everyone else Loki's tried this with he doesn't give in or get angry, he laughs and once again points out what Loki's up to, trying to find a way to get to the Timekeepers.

That entire sequence is the tipping point for me when they officially enter romantic territory, as Loki's visibly thrown and surprised by the way Mobius reacts and scrambles after him, finally taking things seriously enough to do real work and is rewarded not only with trust he's never been given so freely before but a now mutual fascination you see during their conversation in the cafeteria (a highlight of the series for me ) when Loki can't help but try and learn more about the person who knows him so well already by asking genuinely about Mobius and his jet ski magazine. Blew me away because any previous version of Loki would've never taken the time or interest in something so ridiculous (in his eyes), but this Loki shyly takes in the way Mobius beams and opens up, because how could you not fall a little when such a simple pleasure makes someone happy?

Then when they research Roxxcart they flirt again, Mobius praising Loki and teasing he might take his job before what we refer to as the Roxxcart grocery store divorce and for good reason 😂 When Loki's captured back to the TVA, Mobius isn't just hurt, he's clearly jealous and *extremely* so because he thought *they* had been building something only to now think Loki played him all along and during Loki's next interrogation Mobius loses his temper in a way he never has before, making scathing comments about Loki stabbing him in the back and siding with his "girlfriend" which should kind of speak for itself there 😅 Then their mutual assurance of trust before Mobius is pruned and the hug in the void being initiated by Loki is huge as well when this is the first time he's shared EVER that with someone and you see the crushing despair when Mobius later no longer remembers.

Getting into s2, it's easier for me to sum up with the base of their s1 relationship laid out since there's no need to get into as much detail when the entire thing is pure romance start to finish.

Loki and Mobius frantically desperate to find each other when in reality they had been separated for maybe an hour? Mobius ignoring all other issues at hand and his superiors to gently hold Loki by the waist and pull him close, constantly grounding by touching his back, arms, anywhere to provide extra comfort and Loki giving him that control, Mobius spending the entire season actively trying to enjoy being on the field without limits for a change and organizing dates between the two of them all season when his focus used to primarily be on the work. He repeatedly asks Loki to go for a drink, suggests visiting the theatre, going on a hot air balloon ride, etc, while Loki stops to indulge in popcorn and pies just because small joys are important to Mobius. When Loki visits Mobius' original timeline self they spend the ENTIRE ep flirting with each other, and honestly Don having two kids is just as it seems since there were no official indications otherwise; he may share genes with Mobius but is a different person with a different life. Don can't stop bringing up how single he is, teases Loki about following him home, which Loki absolutely did but only after fixing his hair and coat to try and look as good as possible before seeing him (because again, he looks like Mobius) and getting so flustered stammering over his words he may as well have been in a 90s Hugh Grant rom com 😂😂

Don't even get me started on the finale, which has every character except Loki and Mobius basically living their ideal life while the two of them are clearly left unfulfilled and wanting, missing each other to the point Mobius leaves the TVA (which exists out of time) for a timeline that Loki can see as a tear rolls down Loki's face in the final scene because of it.

Do I think that had their characters been tied to anyone but the Disney/Marvel corporations they, like Aziraphale and Crowley, would've shared a kiss as well? Absolutely yes, but that isn't a necessity for me personally and in all honesty despite Aziraphale and Crowley having kissed I actually felt season 2 of Good Omens was a massive backtrack for their relationship compared to the quality of time they spent together in season 1 which I much preferred. Again, that's personal preference and everyone sees and interprets elements of romance differently which is completely fine and I hope this wild ramble at least gave some perspective on how I and many others view Lokius 😂💖 Happy watching, no matter how you end up viewing them, and thank you again for the ask!
