when you had started at u.a. high, it had been filled with excitement and anticipation. every day had felt like a new adventure, with the hallways buzzing with energy from the promising students. you were new to the area, having moved into musutafu for the job, leaving all your friends and family back home. it wasn’t as scary as you thought it would be, and you had midoriya to thank for that. he started around the same time as you, and since he grew up in the area and graduated from u.a., he was more than willing to show you around.

you were no idiot; you knew about him way before his introduction. after all, the name izuku midoriya was synonymous with heroism, the man who had followed in all might's footsteps and become a beacon of hope for so many. but despite his accomplishments and fame, midoriya was incredibly humble. he didn’t mention even once that he was pretty much the sole reason you were here, working this job, and pursuing your own dreams. he could’ve easily let his reputation speak for itself, but instead, he chose to connect with you as an equal, as if he were just another colleague finding his place in the world.

you couldn't help but admire him for that. his kindness and humility made it easy to settle in and find your footing. he introduced you to a few of his friends and they welcomed you with open arms, he was always there with a smile or a word of encouragement, and before long, you found yourself feeling more at home than you ever expected.

this was your second year as the new nurse at u.a. high. your quirk, aura of restoration, allows you to emit a healing aura within a certain radius, gradually mending wounds, restoring energy, and alleviating pain for anyone within its range. it's a powerful quirk, capable of providing much-needed relief during intense training sessions and after battles. you can also focus your aura on one individual, which is especially helpful when the injury is serious because all of the healing is concentrated on them.

however, your quirk comes with significant drawbacks. the more people you heal at once, the more energy it drains from you, leaving you physically and mentally exhausted. on particularly challenging days, even maintaining the aura for a few minutes can be taxing. additionally, your quirk is highly sensitive to your mental state; if you're stressed or anxious, the effectiveness of the healing diminishes. the aura might flicker or fail entirely, putting those relying on your help at risk.

despite these challenges, you take great pride in your work. you often volunteer at hospitals to strengthen the capacity at which you can heal. you’ve become a familiar face to the students and staff, offering them not just physical healing but also a sense of comfort and reassurance. many students appreciate your presence, often stopping by not just for medical help but also for a few calming words or a bit of advice—or perhaps just as an excuse to get out of class. you appreciate it nonetheless!

today the atmosphere in ua was even more exciting than usual, it was lovely, you knew your quirk would be extra strong today. you continued down the hallways waving hello to your colleagues and stopping by the faculty room.

“good morning, mr. aizawa,” you greeted as you poured yourself a cup of coffee, the rich aroma began to fill the room.

aizawa glanced up from his papers, his usual tired expression softening just slightly. “morning,” he mumbled, taking a sip from his own mug.

“what’s the deal today? the energy in the building feels different—much stronger and very lively,” you remarked, leaning against the counter and taking a sip of your coffee.

aizawa raised an eyebrow, his gaze drifting toward the window where sunlight streamed in, casting a warm glow across the room. “some of the pro heroes are coming in today to help with the students' finals. it’s got them all worked up. they’re eager to impress,” he explained, his tone as calm as ever, but with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“ah, that would explain it,” you said, nodding in understanding, “its going to be quite a show with all of them here.”

aizawa smirked slightly, a rare expression for him. “and some of the teachers are also looking forward to seeing their old students,” he added, a knowing glint in his eyes.

“oh? so we might see some of your former students too, then?” you teased, trying to imagine aizawa in a more sentimental light.

he shrugged, but there was a trace of fondness in his voice when he replied, “maybe. it’s always interesting to see how they’ve gro–

before mr. aizawa could finish, a cheerful voice cut through the conversation causing both your heads to turn toward the doorway “good morning, mr. aizawa! y/n!”

“goodmorning izuku! we were just talking about you,” you turned to aizawa and watched as he let out a loud and obnoxious sigh causing midoriya to raise a brow, but neither of you missed the way the corner of his lips twitched up, as if he was forcing himself not to smile.

midoriya continued toward the bagel arrangement, selecting one and slicing it open with practiced ease. “oh? all good things, i hope?” he asked with a knowing glint in his eye as he spread cream cheese on his bagel.

you took another sip of your coffee, a playful smile tugging at your lips. “what else could there be?” you replied, setting the mug down on the counter.

midoriya’s grin widened as he prepared his bagel, clearly pleased by the compliment. “guess i’ll take that as a compliment,” he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

you finished your coffee and placed the mug in the sink, quickly washing it before putting it away in the cabinet. “i heard your friends are coming in today. are you excited?” you asked, turning back to him as you dried your hands.

“of course!” midoriya beamed, crumbs falling from his bagel onto the plate as he spoke with his mouth partially full. “it’s not often we can all coordinate our schedules like this. it’s always great to catch up and see how everyone’s been progressing. they’ve been training hard as heroes, so i’m really looking forward to seeing how they’ve grown.”

you leaned against the counter, your smile softening as you watched him enjoy his breakfast. “i just hope they don’t rough up my students too much,” you said, a hint of concern in your voice. “i want everyone to stay safe and make the most of today’s opportunities.”

midoriya chuckled softly, his eyes filled with reassurance. “don’t worry. they’re professionals. they’ll push the students, but they know how to keep things balanced and constructive.”

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘♡︎∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ 

“DIE! DIE! DIE!” you swore you could feel the observation room shake every time that angry blonde yelled, even if he didn’t set off any explosions. 

you were stationed in a temporary office nearby the testing site. there were three battles at a time and you had nine screens, giving you three different angles for each fight.

you were in the middle of healing three students who had all failed their practical exam, the sadness in their voices was evident making you a little bit sad which caused your quirk to work a bit slower than you liked. the room was filled with the low hum of concern and the occasional sharp war cry from bakugou, whose frustration was clear even through the thick walls of the medical bay. his voice, filled with rage, echoed through the facility.

one of the students from tsukuyomis group, still visibly shaken, tried to explain the chaotic battle to you as you worked. “that was so scary,” they said, their voice trembling. “one minute i was trying to——and then dark shadow, and the next, i was—oh my gosh—out of nowhere, everything just went boom!”

you tried to listen attentively, nodding in fake understanding while focusing on your healing. you were pacing around the room, allowing yourself to spread the calm and healing aura to each of the three students around you. all had very minor injuries, which is what most of the students had when they came in. you were really nervous for pro hero explosion god something murder the dynamites students though. “GET OVER HERE YOU BRAT!” you tensed up for a minute and sighed, grateful that you had already gone through your training and never had to experience a mentor like that.

as bakugou’s furious shouts reverberated through the medical bay, you couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. his anger was intimidating, almost overwhelming, but beneath that fiery exterior was something undeniably impressive. it wasn’t just his raw power or the way he commanded attention—it was his unyielding determination, his refusal to accept anything less than excellence from himself and those around him. he pushed his group of students hard, maybe too hard, but it was clear that he did it because he believed in their potential. he saw something in them that they might not even see in themselves, and he was determined to drag it out, kicking and screaming if necessary.

“try to focus on your breathing,” you gently advised one of the students, she was one of the students that failed. you placed a reassuring hand on their shoulder, your aura continuing to work its calming magic. “you did well, remember, it’s all part of the process. everyone grows at their own pace.”

the student nodded, their breath evening out as they relaxed under your guidance. you could see the tension slowly melting away from their posture, and you were glad to see it. it was moments like this—when you could help bring someone back from the brink of fear and uncertainty—that made your job worth it.

“let’s get you patched up,” you said softly, moving to the next student, who offered you a grateful, if somewhat shaky, smile. 

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘♡︎∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ 

you had just finished up with the last round of students, sighing in relief as you began to tidy up your small office. the day's paperwork had demanded most of your attention, so you were completely absorbed in clearing your desk when a sudden, loud thump made you jump. heart racing, you spun toward the source of the noise, fear gripping you as you realized you hadn't even heard anyone enter.

"got hit." the voice that broke the silence was gruff and low, tinged with irritation. you turned fully to see him—pro hero great god dynamite murder explosion, something like that—sitting on one of your beds, his usually fierce gaze narrowed slightly as he pointed to a small cut at the top of his forehead. your eyes widened, and your mouth hung slightly agape. bakugou was the last person you'd expect to see wounded by a simple training exercise.

but you quickly gathered yourself, professionalism taking over. "oh? pro hero dynamite got bested by a couple of kids?" you teased lightly, trying to mask your concern with a touch of humor.

his scowl deepened, though there was a flicker of something like amusement in his eyes. "first off, it’s pro hero great explosion murder god dynamite." he sank into the chair across from you with a grunt. "second, they made me go easy on those brats. 'course they got a hit in." he made a face, clearly mimicking someone else. "'told me i couldn’t just fail them all, it would ruin their self-esteem.'"

you bit back a smile as you began to assess him more thoroughly. the cut on his forehead was minor, but your trained eyes quickly scanned for any other injuries. as you reached for his wrists, you noticed two quirk-suppressing bands clamped around them. one of those could practically nullify a person’s quirk—two were overkill, even for someone as powerful as bakugou. your gaze drifted lower, and he caught you staring at his ankles.

"they slapped these on too," he grumbled, pointing at the heavy weights secured there. "said it was to 'even the playing field.' whatever that means."

you hummed thoughtfully, gently inspecting the quirk-suppressing bands. "they really didn't want you going all out, huh?" you murmured, more to yourself than to him.

he huffed, crossing his arms. "if i hadn’t been wearing all this crap, they wouldn’t have landed a damn finger on me."

he then pointed at the small cut on his forehead again, a slight tilt of his head making it clear he was expecting something. you blinked at him, confused for a moment, before the realization dawned on you. "you want me to... kiss it?"

"what, you think i’m here for a band-aid? just get it over with already.” 

you stared at him, half-expecting him to crack a smile and admit he was joking, but his serious expression made it clear he wasn't. and then it dawned on you, he thought you were like recovery girl. he thought that your quirk required a kiss to heal. 

despite the absurdity of the situation, you found yourself hesitating. he was in a foul mood, and it was probably best not to argue, so you let out a small sigh.

"right... sure," you muttered you. you leaned in closer to him, slowly activating your quirk before your lips lightly brushed against the small cut on his forehead, leaving a faint warmth behind. you pulled back quickly, your cheeks slightly flushed as you avoided his gaze,

“all set!” you say softly, you move over to your desk to once again busy yourself with your paperwork. he stared at you for a moment but slowly got up and walked to one of the mirrors in the room and stared at the spot where the cut once was, deciding that your work was good, he began to leave but paused when he heard you chuckle softly.

"what’s so funny?" he asked, his tone a mix of irritation and curiosity.

"oh, nothing," you replied, "just picturing you going easy on a bunch of kids. it's hard to imagine."

bakugou grunted in response, but the corners of his mouth twitched upward just slightly—a rare almost-smile.

"don't get used to it," he warned, "next time, those brats won't know what hit 'em."

you couldn’t help but roll your eyes, finally allowing yourself to smile as you watched him head toward the door. "try not to get hit again, dynamite," you called after him, half-teasing, half-serious.

he glanced back at you, smirking. "don’t hold your breath."

and with that, he was gone, leaving you alone in your now slightly less cluttered office, shaking your head in amusement.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘♡︎∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ 

you didn’t expect to see bakugou for a while—actually, you didn’t expect to see him ever again after healing him on the first day of finals. but to your surprise, he kept coming back to your office after every fight. each time, he had nothing more than minor scuffs and bruises, barely anything that needed attention.

he also always conveniently liked to show up after all the other students were gone. you couldnt complain though, it allowed you to focus on the students and it made it easier for you to maintain the little white lie that you were just like recovery girl. though you couldn’t quite figure out why he kept coming back, especially when his injuries were barely worth mentioning—a few scrapes, a bruise here and there, nothing serious. 

each visit left you more puzzled, wondering what exactly was going through his mind. was he really that concerned with every little scratch, did he have some sort of problem? 

eventually, curiosity got the better of you. after yet another visit where his injuries were almost laughable, you couldn’t hold back any longer. you leaned in slightly, a playful smile tugging at your lips. "so, bakugou, are you here for the healing, or do you just enjoy my company?" you teased, raising an eyebrow. "because these tiny bruises hardly seem worth the trip." you gave him a quick peck, still activating your quirk.

he brushed off your question with his usual gruff attitude. “told you, it’s about staying in top shape. can’t have anything slowing me down, not even a damn scratch,” he snapped, his voice laced with irritation. “gotta be at my best if i’m gonna be number one.” but as tough as he tried to sound, the slight redness creeping up his neck betrayed him. his eyes flicked away, avoiding your gaze like he was hiding something. despite his words, you couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his frequent visits than just wanting to stay in peak condition. 

but you didn’t push. instead you gave him a small smile before moving back to your desk.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘♡︎∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ 

it was the last day of the students' finals and also your last day at ua before winter break. just like he had been doing for the past two weeks, bakugou was back in your office, sitting on one of the infirmary beds with his arms crossed tightly over his chest, waiting for you to finish up and give him a ‘healing’ kiss.

you were helping midoriya with something before bakugou arrive, and when he walked in, you hald expected him to demand your attention as he usually did, but he simply took a seat and waited. you glanced at him, surprised by his uncharacteristic patience, but decided to finish up with midoriya first.

bakugou sat there, silently fuming as he watched you and midoriya chatting away. every now and then, a soft laugh would escape your lips, or you'd toss in a teasing comment that made midoriya blush slightly. each time, bakugou's jaw tightened, his hands curling into fists as he tried to keep himself from blowing up right then and there. he was certain midoriya was dragging things out on purpose.

“thanks again,” midoriya said, glancing at the paperwork you'd helped him with. “not sure why they make these sites so difficult.”

“sure thing, zuku," you replied with a grin, your tone light and teasing. "but i gotta say, you're pretty hopeless when it comes to this tech stuff, huh?"

the nickname made bakugou twitch in his seat, his patience wearing thin. he couldn’t stand seeing you and deku acting all buddy-buddy, especially not when he was practically bleeding out of a deep wound in the middle of your office. it was about the size of a paper cut.

midoriya, ever observant, noticed the bakugou's odd behavior. a knowing smirk spread across his face as he decided to push his old friend’s buttons just a bit more. “i don’t think i’ve ever seen you visit recovery girl this much back in our school days, kachann,” he remarked quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.

bakugou’s glare sharpened, and he turned his head toward midoriya, practically daring him to continue. “what?” you asked, catching the tail end of their exchange, curiosity piqued.

midoriya's smirk widened, his voice lowering even further. “oh, nothing. just noticing how often you’re in here these days, bakugou. you know, back in the day, you couldn’t stand being patched up, always rushing out before recovery girl could even finish. funny how things change.”

bakugou’s patience snapped. he shot to his feet, fists clenched at his sides. “scram, nerd,” he barked, his voice low and threatening. “didn’t want old lady lips on me back then, and i sure as hell don’t want you flappin’ yours now.”

midoriya chuckled, holding his hands up in mock surrender as he stepped back. “alright, alright. i’m going.” he turned to you, giving you a warm smile. “thanks again. see you after the break.” with that, he left the room, leaving you alone with a still fuming bakugou.

you couldn’t help but let out a small laugh as you finally turned your full attention to him. “you’re really going to blow a gasket one of these days, bakugou,” you teased, walking over to where he was standing.

“shut up and just get on with it,” he grumbled, though the red creeping up his neck betrayed his embarrassment.

you couldn’t resist one last tease before giving him what he’d come for. “you’ve really gotta tell me, are you here for the treatment, or is it my company you're after?” you asked, a playful glint in your eye.

“just do your damn job,” he muttered, but you caught the faintest hint of a smile on his lips as he sat back down.

you leaned in, pressing a light kiss to the small bruise on his arm as your quirk activated. bakugou watched you closely, his irritation fading as the warmth of your quirk spread through him. despite his gruff exterior, he always seemed a little calmer after these visits, like the tension he carried with him all day finally started to ease up.

as you pulled back, you noticed his gaze lingering on you, a question unspoken in his eyes. but before you could ask, he stood up abruptly, heading for the door without another word.

“bakugou,” you called out, making him stop mid-step. he turned to face you, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. you gave him a playful smile, trying to keep the mood light. “be careful out there, wont be around to patch all those little scapes and bruises.”

he raised an eyebrow, his usual scowl softening slightly. “so?”

you shrugged, a teasing grin on your lips. “sooo don’t want those little injuries to add up and start slowing you down, especially with your fight for the number one spot and all.”

he huffed, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “no promises,” he muttered, his gaze lingering on you for a moment longer before he turned and walked out, the door clicking shut behind him.

Law Doesn't Leave the Donquixote Family AU

This one really gave me a run for my money, because it's not an AU I'd usually write. I hope it satisfies!

Law walks briskly down the hallway towards the executive suites. The shipment of black-market supplies had come earlier than expected, and Doflamingo would want to know they'd arrived, as several key items the Family had needed for the upcoming Dressrosa operation were included. It probably wouldn't change their timetable, but keeping information from Doflamingo was never a good choice, so Law had volunteered to inform the captain of their arrival.

He's almost to the big double doors when he hears conversation from inside. Well, that explains why none of the executives were around to collect the shipment. They were here, instead.

"...there even a point anymore?" Diamante's voice was asking. "The brat's almost sixteen, and he's smart. Why not have him do what needs to be done now and be done with it?"

"Patience," Doflamingo's voice rumbles back, a familiar low chuckle sitting in the back of his words. "The best pawns don't know that they are one, and as you say, the boy is clever. I want to be absolutely sure he's mentally right where I want him first." There's a clink of glass; it sounds like they're drinking. The senior officers often did at this time of the evening. "Besides, we make our move on Dressrosa next month. Better to make sure that goes off without a hitch and consolidate power beforehand. Splitting focus never works well."

Law's brow furrows. Were they talking about him? Diamante calling him a brat was nothing new; neither he nor Trebol had ever particularly liked him, and Corazon had disappeared over two years ago now, but with all the violence the mute had exhibited Law didn't think he'd fare any better if the captain's brother was still around.

All he knew is that bringing up Corazon in any capacity these days was a one-way trip to one of Doflamingo's bad moods, so the man's memory simply haunted the Family like a silent ghost, unaddressed and unmourned.

"Not afraid he's going to figure it out?" Law hears Trebol chuckle wetly. "His devil fruit is rather infamous, after all. The information is out there."

"Fortunately, few books speak of the procedure, and even less treat it as something more than a faerie tale," Doflamingo says. "It was easy enough to make sure we never happened to have one of the ones which does anywhere near where Law could pick it up."

Law frowns. Doflamingo had been keeping something from him? Something regarding his devil fruit? That made no sense. Doflamingo had been adamant he learn as much about his devil fruit as possible ever since he stole it out from under the Marines. He always talked about how proud Law made him, mastering such a tricky power so quickly and at such a young age.

What was going on?

"He really is quite the impressive specimen," Doflamingo muses. "And I couldn't be prouder of how he's turned out. Not just anyone could handle the power of a devil fruit that grants immortality at such a young age."

Law's mouth drops open, and he hurriedly covers it with his hand to keep from letting out a gasp of shock. He could do what? He knew his devil fruit was sometimes called 'the ultimate devil fruit,' but that was an ability that beggared belief!

"It's a pity that the immortality operation kills the user."

Surprised adrenaline is immediately replaces with horror, and Law feels his blood run cold.

His life? The thing he'd fought tooth and nail to keep, despite all the things that had tried to take it away from him? The thing that Doflamingo himself had helped preserve? It made no sense.

Or had he saved him solely so he could be a tool? Had that been the whole point?

Had Doflamingo lied about his true intentions just as much as the Marines who'd turned guns on the citizens of Flevance had, when they'd promised salvation?

Hand still pressed tight over his mouth to keep from making sounds, he moves as silently as possible back down the corridor towards his room. He needs to think about this. About the implications. About what it means for him and Doflamingo and everyone else who'd apparently known about this thing he could do.

And then he needed to make a plan.

i know you have a question like this on your FAQ, but my dream job is to teach sex ed for a living. You mentioned looking into workshops and such, do you mind if I ask how you went about that? You're probably the only person I've ever seen who talks about teaching sex ed in any "professional" capacity so I'd really like insight on how I could eventually start doing that because beyond wanting to study sexuality in university I have no idea how I'm going to carry through with my life plan for that. Hope you're having a great day -💚

okay so first thing I want to be so clear about: I don't do this as a profession. with a sole exception, I have never in almost a decade of sex ed work been compensated for what I do. I'm in this for the love of the game, so I am a bad role model if you're looking to get paid to be a sex educator - which is fine, to be clear! I have no pretensions about this; wanting to get paid for your work is extremely reasonable and necessary and does not make your interest in the work less "pure" than what I do or whatever, all educators are needed.

anyway my shit has come about pretty much entirely through focusing my studies on the history and present of American sex education whenever possible in college, volunteering to lead meetings, submitting workshop proposals to conferences, and volunteering my time with various nonprofits and local organizations. I've been doing advocacy work and organizing in my community for ten years now, so I have a lot of connections in terms of folks who will hit me up when they want to make something sex ed related happen or who will show up when I'm organizing something myself.

none of which is likely to be helpful to you, I fear.

The Institution

In the version of the first vision that is most frequently quoted by church members, I find the question posed by the 14 year old, soon to be prophet, rather telling.

He does not ask a personal question, such "how can I be a better disciple of Jesus Christ?" Or even more biblical "what lack I yet?"

Nor does he ask a more general question like "how can I help people more fully come unto Christ?"

The question he poses is an institutional one: "Which of all the sects was right, that I may know which to join." (JS History 1:18)

It should be noted that this account was not drafted until 1838, and is likely not a perfect recounting of events but rather a recounting with a purpose. If you are trying to convince people that a church is the one true church of God, the question that initiated the vision had better be about churches.

I think, however, this institutional focus looms large in our church, exacerbated by correlation efforts in the latter half of the 20th century. In many ways, the church has survived and thrived off its institutional design.

As I see it, the church has two aspects that constantly create tension: the centralized institution (think church headquarters) and the local congregation (think your ward or branch). Historically, the church has oscillated between different approaches: at times highly centralized, others more localized. In the modern church, it has struck a rather successful balance between the two, and landed in what I like to call the "franchise model".

My mother likes to say she loves that church is the same no matter where she attends. And generally that's true--she knows she can share her testimony on the first Sunday of the month, she knows what class to attend for second hour, and she knows when to sit, stand, sing, and say amen.

In truth the structure of the church on this tightrope between the top down approach of the centralized church and the bottom up approach of the localized church is a marvel. The average member feels empowered at the local level while supported by a larger framework maintained by a centralized group. Local leaders are volunteers (sort of), so less likely to be swayed to corruption, while the central leadership is full time with the capacity to address sweeping and large issues.

But these two structures pull against each other too. Local congregations can veer too far from the comfort of Central planning and can have their autonomy reduced (see women on the stand in California). Central leadership can implement policy that is difficult to enforce at the local level that will just kind of be forgotten (see the countless examples of leadership roulette).

Central leadership's goal is to maintain the institution and keep the train on the tracks, where the local congregation's goal is to foster community. And between the two is the estuary of middle-management who are trying support both at the same time (a confusing and thankless task if there ever was one).

These goals can be tricky to support and are often contradictory but can be advantageous to the church as a whole.

You've probably seen this in action. If someone in your ward mistreats you and you offer this as reason for no longer attending, you are often reminded that the church is more than the local community, it is a global Church run by God and you shouldn't abandon it because of a less than stellar ward environment. Similarly, if Central Leadership proposes a policy that marginalizes you or othes, the defense is to remember how great a community of saints exists and how much you are loved.

This makes it difficult to criticize, advocate or create positive change in the church. While grassroots movements can work, it is important to see how both sides of the church work and in what ways they are interconnected and how they are separate. A movement solely focused on improving the community does not change damaging centralized policy or teachings, likewise even perfect policy will not create the desired effect if the local community is hostile or otherwise unable to implement it.

From the very beginning of the LDS tradition there has been an eye towards institutionalism. Much more can and needs to be said regarding how Christ fits into the institution, but this post is already too long to tackle that. So, I'll leave it here for now.

image description under the cut

when i was 12, i was ambitious. a heart of gold, in the words of earth, wind & fire, i truly believed that nothing could stop me so long as i gave it my all. no obstacle was too large, no goal was too distant. now, at 20, my dreams are shattered in many ways. yet in many ways i am still grateful (and i am aware that i have so much left to live). i owe it to the family i have created to tell this complex truth over a neatly told lie:

for the nearly 8 years that better future program, inc. (bfp) has existed, i have run it almost entirely alone. each time that we gained momentum, it was as though the narrow visions of others dragged us right back to the depths of the void. and i was the one always left to pick up the pieces. you see, for nearly 8 years, i fought and cried, chased and fell, lived and died. but it was through my struggles that i made lifelong friends to kiss the very scars this organization has graced me with. i will always hold a place in my heart for the volunteers who showed up, who bleed alongside me as these words rip into our spirits.

you see, i am writing this because i am a changed person. called every name in the book right down to ngger whore*, something about my soul is hurting. my children and i, my wonderful children, have spent 8 years begging our white peers to care. it does something to you… to look into someone’s eyes, to say that you feel as though you could die, that the world has cursed you with this endless sense of urgency, and for them to only center their themselves whiteness in the end. even in the home we had created, we could not escape white supremacy. i refuse to sugarcoat just how heartbreaking a revelation this was. in the words of one of our truest and most gentle-hearted allies, internally, we had become parasitic, only existing to serve the needs and wants of our white members. and of course, we were disposable. when cycles of harm were disrupted, they left us without a single word of remorse.

my children and i, we are a broken people. torn from our homes, our hearts cracked open, we are a people whose throats are hoarse from screaming, who eyes flood like the mississippi river, whose soles are calloused from chasing after dreams (after humanization) across red-hot coal. we are burnt out.

so where does this leave us? what does any of this mean? crucial details highlighted below:

better future program, inc. (bfp) is changing. our nonprofit status will remain. but our volunteer positions will not. our liberation library will remain. but our discord server will not. we will no longer accept donations. our current funds will be redistributed through mutual aid networks. our 3,000 free resources will still be available. but our capacity for material change has truly been diminished. we hope to continue to provide marginalized youth with educational materials for as long as we possibly can. and so we will do so, for as long as we possibly can.

you see, my children and i, we are a resilient people. borne of slave ships and reservations, occupation and colonization, abuse and grief, we are survivors. our hands grasp one another’s tightly so that we may never lose each other in this world. we have held hands since before we ever even met. as we venture back out into our local communities, we will never stop being intentional in our relationships (in fact, we already have a new project in the works so that may stick together). better future program, inc. (bfp) has still given us so much. and for that we will always be grateful.

if you have any further questions, which i imagine you might, feel free reach out through info@betterfutureprogram.org, instagram (@bfpnola), or tumblr (@bfpnola), as these socials will remain available.

thank you so much for supporting us for as long as you have. it’s time we take a new path.

sincerely,

You absolutely do not need to answer this, but I am honestly very curious about when the 10 users to canonize a fandom tag rule came about?

It's just, as recently as October a fandom has been canonized with me as the only writer - and at the time with only one fic in it. I'm not doubting the rule or anything! It could well be one of the wranglers canonized that one by mistake or something. And I perfectly understand why a bar would be in place given it all has to be manual and you have to prioritize your volunteers, it's just I'm curious as to if it's a recent change, or if it's about specific media types, or if it's to do with some fandoms being connected to other ones (like, Arkanis is a Minecraft server, and EdM has ties to Ordem Paranormal)?

Thank you!

okay this actually did make me think because im solely familiar with vlogging splits (all smps are categorized under video blogging rpf, as i assume most of you are aware; if not, there you go!) and when ive been in charge of a few small video games i wondered why they didn't work the same but didn't think too much about it, since it's not the majority of what i do. but taking a look at it, it looks like that policy does apply specifically to fandoms that are under certain preexisting categories. in the case of edm, it wouldn't be sorted under ordem, since it's a different media type entirely and a distinct piece of media regardless, so i do think it actually could be canonized at first tagging, you're right. as an smp wrangler for the most part (like i said, i wrangle for a couple small games as well but they get very few tags) im not always as familiar with other systems so it's good to have checked in on that.

regardless of author count, i will say again that this stuff is all done by volunteers working manually, so it's difficult to give a timeline on anything, but i would guess edm will get a canonical fairly soon. though that's not a promise and well above my capacity as a regular wrangler to know too much about!

Saying Mulcahy does no good at all in Korea isn't quite true. His work at the orphanage is extensive, never mind the acts of heroism he partakes in throughout the series. Of all the very valid criticisms, that is about the only one that doesnt hold, because on a purely personal level he simply does do good. You can argue he isn't doing good in the right ways even, and ofc talk about how he is willingly a part of a harmful societal and other broader harmful structures, but on an individual level he does significant good. This is one of the reasons he is both a more problematic and more interesting character and is at the heart of a lot of the issues with MASH as a social critique.

I don't exactly disagree but I think this is a semantics thing wrt how we understand the concept of doing good. Feeding hungry children is good, but in my opinion that good is obliterated because it's a Catholic orphanage doing it. The harm caused by missionary work and cultural imperialism in general is much greater than the good caused by saving some lives. I'm speaking purely from my own point of view ofc, not the narrative's, which does consider Catholic missionary work largely and uncomplicatedly good.

Add the military volunteer thing and the harm Mulcahy cosigns, represents, and actively supports vastly vastly outweighs the good, even just speaking in terms of civilian lives saved vs lost. Heck, even just in the context of the show, rather than real life, where the U.S. army was still responsible for at least one destroyed village.

Like yeah on an individual level he does some good, but I don't consider that worth anything myself. The post you're responding to was a little off the cuff and written hurriedly, if I'd sat on it a little longer my point might've been a little more nuanced. But I do stand by the fact that by my standards it's accurate to say he does no good in his capacity as a military priest. It doesn't make him a bad person, he clearly wants to do good, he attempts to do good, he, like you said, technically does good on an individual level, but he doesn't have a net positive impact. He does more harm than good by a wildly vast margin, which to me = no good.

The funny thing to me is that the show does almost understand this - but only when it comes to Hawkeye's character lol. He wrestles with the fact that even if he's saving lives, he's not doing good because he's only saving lives as part of the war machine. Even the conclusion of Letters, where saving an innocent life rather than a soldier is what keeps him from succumbing to despair, is negated by GFA and ultimately (if maybe unintentionally?) shown to be naive.

Meanwhile Mulcahy's out feeding children in exchange for being able to indoctrinate them, telling soldiers that wanting to desert is wrong, and hankering for a promotion within the same army that drives Hawkeye insane because of the harm it forces him to do as an involuntary draftee, but the narrative has no interest in exploring Mulcahy's complicity in the war machine, almost solely painting him as a great guy who's in Korea to do good and successfully achieves that.

Idk if it's exactly a double standard since Hawkeye's narrative reflects Hawkeye's perspective which is clearly closer to my own, and it does make sense that he's the only character in the cast who thinks about this, but it sure feels hypocritical lol.

Anyway yeah tl;dr ia that he does some good on an individual level, and ia that there's a potentially interesting tension between that and the way he cheerfully represents like two of the most harmful structures in the world (and boy I wish the show had explored that at all), but it's not much of a factor in terms of my own moral assessment.

Championing Health with Purpose and Precision: Honoring Mildred Vitangcol for Her Lifelong Commitment to Holistic Public Health Leadership and Community Resilience

In an era of rapidly shifting global health priorities and increasingly complex societal needs, the call for thoughtful, ethical, and strategic leadership in healthcare has never been more urgent. It is in this landscape—where compassion must intersect with systems thinking, and innovation must align with dignity—that Mildred Vitangcol has emerged as a compelling and consistent force for good.

With a career marked by intentional service and principled stewardship, Ms. Vitangcol has exemplified a form of leadership that does not merely respond to the pressing challenges of today but lays the foundation for sustainable, inclusive, and future-proof health systems. Her professional, civic, and philanthropic endeavors reflect a unified purpose: to ensure that access to health and well-being is not a privilege for a few but a fundamental right for all.

As the Chairperson of the Board of St. Peter Life Plan, Inc. since 2015, Ms. Vitangcol has led one of the country’s most recognized pre-need institutions through a period of thoughtful transformation. Under her guidance, the organization has expanded its mission beyond traditional services to include community-responsive wellness programs, grief support networks, and educational campaigns promoting health literacy and preparedness. Her vision has helped reframe the narrative around life planning—from one focused solely on end-of-life care to one that champions proactive well-being, dignity, and holistic community support throughout the life cycle.

Her role as President of the Zonta Club of Makati Ayala in 2020 was a demonstration of her deep commitment to gender-responsive public health strategies. In the midst of a global health crisis, she spearheaded timely and targeted initiatives that addressed critical needs such as maternal health, access to hygiene essentials, mental health support for women and girls, and empowerment programs for community health volunteers. These programs not only responded to immediate gaps but also contributed to long-term community resilience—particularly in areas where healthcare was often underfunded or overlooked.

Her tenure as District Governor of Rotary International District 3830 (Rotary Year 2022–2023) was characterized by strategic engagement, coalition-building, and high-impact programming. Under her leadership, the District activated a wide range of initiatives aligned with Rotary International’s Area of Focus on Disease Prevention and Treatment. These included mobile health clinics for hard-to-reach barangays, expanded vaccination campaigns, health education drives, and capability training for frontline health workers. Her ability to mobilize stakeholders across government, private sector, and civil society reflected not only her strategic capacity but also her deep understanding of the structural underpinnings of community health.

Ms. Vitangcol's leadership style is characterized by grace under pressure, quiet tenacity, and inclusive decision-making. She is widely admired for her ability to listen, build consensus, and translate policy into action—all while keeping the most vulnerable at the center of the solution. Her work reflects a sophisticated balance of empathy and efficiency, strategy and service. She is not only a leader in name but a lifelong advocate for dignity-centered development.

Her contributions are in direct alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-Being, and mirror Rotary’s commitment to mitigating health disparities, promoting disease prevention, and investing in systems that uphold human life and well-being. Her efforts affirm a core truth: that effective healthcare is not the work of hospitals alone—it is the result of coordinated, compassionate leadership across all levels of society.

Icons of Change 2025 Recognition

In recognition of her sustained contributions to strengthening healthcare access, advancing disease prevention, and pioneering community-centered models of health governance, the Icons of Change Awards—proudly presented by the Rotary Club of Alabang Madrigal Business Park and the United Filipino Movement—is privileged to confer the Excellence in Community Health Systems and Strategic Leadership Award to Mildred Vitangcol.

This award affirms her instrumental role in helping shape a more resilient, inclusive, and ethically grounded healthcare environment—one where service is not only a responsibility but a generational legacy. Her work serves as a living testament to the values Rotary upholds: Service Above Self, fellowship through action, and a firm belief in the dignity of every person.

Her story reminds us that the real currency of leadership lies not in titles held, but in lives touched, systems improved, and futures made healthier.

How to Choose the Right NDIS Support Provider: A Guide to Quality Service and Care

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has transformed the way people with disabilities access services and support in Australia. At the core of this transformation are the NDIS support provider and NDIS service providers who deliver essential care, therapy, and assistance that enable participants to lead more independent and fulfilling lives.

With thousands of NDIS service providers across the country, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. This guide will walk you through what NDIS providers do, the services they offer, and how to choose the best NDIS support provider for your individual needs or the needs of your loved one.

What Is an NDIS Support Provider?

An NDIS support provider is an individual or organisation registered (or unregistered, in some cases) to deliver services funded by the NDIS. These providers work closely with participants to help them achieve goals laid out in their NDIS plans.

NDIS service providers can offer a wide range of supports, including:

Personal care and daily living support

Therapeutic services like occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychology

Transport and community participation

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Plan management and support coordination

Assistive technology and home modifications

Capacity building and skill development

Some providers specialise in a particular area (e.g., allied health or accommodation), while others offer holistic, end-to-end support solutions.

Benefits of Working with NDIS Service Providers

Accessing services through NDIS service providers offers several key benefits:

Tailored Support Providers work with participants to create personalised plans that align with their individual goals, preferences, and abilities.

Expert Care Most NDIS support providers employ trained professionals and support workers with experience in disability care and support.

Choice and Control Participants have the freedom to choose the provider that best suits their needs, whether registered or unregistered.

Consistency and Reliability Providers can offer ongoing support, ensuring participants receive consistent care from trusted staff members.

Community Inclusion Many NDIS service providers help participants engage in community events, education, volunteering, and employment.

Types of NDIS Service Providers

NDIS service providers come in various forms, including:

Large organisations: These may offer a wide range of services across different regions and cater to many participants.

Small businesses or sole traders: Often provide more personalised care and flexibility in support delivery.

Specialist providers: Focus on specific supports such as therapy, assistive technology, or complex care needs.

Multidisciplinary teams: Combine different types of supports under one provider, ideal for participants with complex needs.

Whether you need a daily support worker or access to multiple services, there's a provider model to suit every lifestyle.

How to Choose the Right NDIS Support Provider

Selecting the right NDIS support provider is one of the most important decisions in your NDIS journey. Here are steps and tips to help you choose the best fit:

Understand Your Plan Review your NDIS plan to identify what supports you’re funded for and the outcomes you want to achieve.

Check Registration Registered providers meet strict quality and safety standards. If your plan is agency-managed, you must use registered providers.

Research and Compare Use the NDIS Provider Finder tool or ask for recommendations from your support coordinator or other participants.

Ask Questions When contacting providers, ask about their experience, qualifications, availability, and how they tailor services to individual needs.

Meet and Greet Many providers offer an initial meeting where you can meet your support worker or therapist before committing to a service agreement.

Flexibility and Communication Choose a provider that listens to your needs, responds quickly, and can adapt as your goals or circumstances change.

Feedback and Improvement A quality provider will seek regular feedback and be willing to adjust their services based on your preferences.

The Role of a Support Coordinator

A support coordinator can be a valuable ally when working with NDIS service providers. Their role is to help you:

Understand your plan and funding

Connect with suitable providers

Coordinate multiple services

Build your capacity to manage your own supports in the future

If your NDIS plan includes funding for support coordination, make use of it to navigate provider options effectively.

Why Choosing the Right Provider Matters

The quality of your provider relationship can significantly impact your progress toward goals, independence, and quality of life. A great NDIS support provider will not only deliver services but will advocate for your needs, build your skills, and support you with dignity and respect.

By taking the time to research, ask questions, and make informed decisions, you’re setting yourself up for long-term success under the NDIS.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right NDIS service providers is a vital part of your disability support journey. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to change providers, understanding your options and knowing what to look for can make a big difference.

Remember: the NDIS is designed to give you choice and control. Use it to find an NDIS support provider who aligns with your goals, respects your individuality, and helps you live the life you want.

Ready to take the next step? Reach out to local NDIS providers today, and find the support team that’s right for you.

In the face of a global pandemic, amidst challenges that threaten to overwhelm, a story unfolds—a tale of compassion, resilience, and humanity. Have you ever paused to reflect on the profound impact of a simple touch or a reassuring smile? In the heart of healthcare settings across the globe, the human touch is more powerful than any medication. Let’s journey together through this landscape of compassion. Consider a nurse in New York City, tirelessly working the night shift. With every patient she cares for, she goes beyond physical treatment. She whispers words of comfort, shares hopeful stories, and holds the hands of those who feel isolated and afraid. Each interaction becomes a thread, weaving connection and hope through the fabric of despair. - **Empathy in Action:** She remembers each patient's name, their family stories, and dreams. These details transform her from a caregiver into a compassionate ally. - **Global Heroes:** Whether in the inhabited streets of Mumbai or rural clinics in South Africa, healthcare workers routinely show that compassion is universal. They navigate language barriers with warm smiles and gentle gestures, proving that love transcends comprehension. Reflecting on these stories invites a powerful question: how can we incorporate compassion into our own lives? Each of us has the capacity to create warmth and kindness in our communities. - **Acts of Kindness:** Start with small gestures—supporting a neighbor, volunteering at a local shelter, or simply listening to someone in need. These tiny acts aggregate into a monumental force for good. - **Creating Connections:** Building relationships in our communities can foster mutual support and understanding. Who can you reach out to today? As we anchor ourselves in the essence of these stories, we begin recognizing the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Compassionate healthcare isn’t solely about healing the body. It involves stitching together the heart and soul of humanity, especially when turmoil seems to surround us. Let us ponder: How can we advocate for more humane practices in healthcare systems? What can we do to inspire a culture of compassion not just in hospitals but in every aspect of life? Your voice matters. Share your thoughts, your stories, your challenges, and victories. Every contribution can spark a vital conversation, leading us toward a more compassionate world. Join hands with those on the frontlines—be a beacon of light. Together, we can build a collective legacy of hope and healing. Reflect, share, and grow. What action will you take today to spread compassion in your life and community? Join the movement for a world of unity, harmony, and abundance at https://WCN.One #unity #harmony #abundance

Ivy League Colleges: Best Extracurriculars to Strengthen Your Application

Gaining admission to Ivy League colleges is an ambitious goal for many students. These institutions are globally recognized for their academic excellence, selective admissions, and a rich history of producing world leaders and innovators. However, getting accepted is not solely about achieving top grades and high standardized test scores. Admissions officers at these universities look for well-rounded individuals who stand out beyond academics. One of the most powerful ways to showcase your uniqueness is through extracurricular activities. Participating in the right ones can significantly strengthen your application and reflect your leadership, creativity, and commitment to personal growth. 

In this blog, we will explore the five best extracurriculars for college that can boost your chances of getting into an Ivy League institution.

1. Academic competitions and Olympiads

Participation in academic competitions such as math Olympiads, science fairs, debate tournaments, and Model United Nations (MUN) demonstrates your intellectual curiosity and commitment to excellence. These activities show that you are willing to go beyond classroom learning to challenge yourself in competitive environments. For Ivy League admissions, such achievements reflect strong analytical skills, critical thinking, and the ability to work under pressure—all traits valued by top-tier institutions.

2. Leadership roles in student organizations

Holding leadership positions in school clubs or student government speaks volumes about your ability to take initiative, manage responsibilities, and inspire others. Whether you are the student council president, founder of a new club, or team captain, leadership roles show that you have made a tangible impact in your school community. Ivy League colleges seek students who can contribute meaningfully to their campus, and demonstrated leadership is a reliable indicator of that potential.

3. Volunteer work and community service

Engaging in consistent volunteer work highlights your empathy, social responsibility, and commitment to making a positive difference. Colleges value students who are academically strong but also grounded in values and actively involved in improving the world around them. Whether it consists in tutoring underprivileged students, organizing food drives, or volunteering at local shelters, community service activities reflect maturity and a strong moral compass.

4. Artistic or creative pursuits

Involvement in the arts—whether it be music, theater, dance, creative writing, or visual arts—can significantly enrich your application. These activities reveal creativity, discipline, and a capacity for self-expression. If you have won awards or have had your work showcased publicly, it adds to your credibility. Ivy League colleges appreciate applicants with diverse talents who can contribute to the campus culture through artistic or creative avenues.

5. Internships and independent projects

Pursuing internships or self-driven projects shows initiative, passion, and a deep interest in a particular field. These experiences go beyond school-based activities and suggest a serious, career-oriented mindset. Whether it is a summer internship with a local business, a research project with a university professor, or launching your own nonprofit, such experiences demonstrate maturity, dedication, and a proactive approach to learning.The competition for Ivy League colleges is intense, and academic excellence alone is often insufficient to secure admission. You can build a compelling and authentic profile by carefully choosing the best extracurriculars for college. Focus on activities that align with your interests and allow you to make a measurable impact. Quality always matters more than quantity, so prioritize depth over breadth. By doing so, you will strengthen your application and grow as a person—something that every great college looks for in its students.

Boxing Day - Celebrating Generosity and Tradition Shaina Tranquilino December 26, 2023

As the hustle and bustle of Christmas Day settles, there is no time to rest as the much-anticipated Boxing Day follows suit on December 26th. Originating in the United Kingdom, this holiday has evolved into a day when people across the globe come together to celebrate generosity, tradition, and giving back.

While many may believe that Boxing Day is all about shopping sales and grabbing bargains, the true essence of this day lies in its historical roots. The exact origin of the term "Boxing Day" remains debated among historians, but most agree that it dates back centuries ago when servants and tradespeople would receive a gift or bonus from their employers. These gifts were often placed in small boxes, hence the name "Boxing" Day. It was a way for employers to show appreciation for their hard work throughout the year.

Over time, this tradition expanded beyond just employees receiving gifts from their bosses. It became a day when families and friends exchanged presents with each other as well. This practice remains an integral part of modern-day celebrations, with many households reserving December 26th for exchanging gifts they didn't have time to open on Christmas Day.

However, Boxing Day isn't solely about material exchanges; it's also about extending kindness to those less fortunate. In many countries, including Canada and Australia, this holiday serves as an opportunity to support charitable causes through various events and donations. Families engage in acts of charity by donating clothes, food items, or volunteering at local shelters. Some even organize fundraisers or participate in sporting events to raise funds for charities close to their hearts.

In addition to these acts of generosity, sports play a significant role in Boxing Day traditions. In particular, cricket matches are wildly popular in countries like Australia and South Africa during this time of year. Families gather at stadiums or tune in on televisions to watch thrilling matches while enjoying picnics and spending quality time together. In the UK, football matches also take center stage, with stadiums packed to capacity as fans cheer on their favourite teams.

For shopaholics, Boxing Day sales provide an excellent opportunity to snag some fantastic deals. Stores slash prices, offering discounts that attract eager shoppers looking for post-Christmas savings. While it's true that shopping has become a significant part of this holiday, it's important not to lose sight of its deeper meaning - giving back and expressing gratitude.

As we celebrate Boxing Day each year, let us remember the history and traditions that make this day so special. It is a time to appreciate those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, extend generosity towards others less fortunate, and spend cherished moments with loved ones. Whether you're participating in charitable acts or indulging in retail therapy, may the spirit of Boxing Day remind us all of the immeasurable value of kindness and selflessness.

So, as December 26th dawns upon us once again, let us embrace the essence of this unique holiday with open hearts and open hands. Together, we can continue making Boxing Day a celebration of generosity and tradition for generations to come.

Return from Hiatus

Hello!

It’s been a little over a year since I was last active on here. As my last semester is ramping up, I figured I’d dust this blog off.

For my final semester as an undergrad, I’ll be taking two practical-heavy GIS courses along with my semester long research. My capstone will be on wetland ecology: looking at the status of plant habitats, their health, and how restoration efforts (trail maintenance to reduce habitat fragmentation, volunteer stewardship, funding for maintenance of restoration projects) have shaped the natural preserve I’ll be studying. We’re at the halfway point of the growing season right now, so data collection is the focus. I’d love to make a post sometime about my methodology, as it can very easily be replicated by anyone inclined towards citizen science!

But needless to say, the pressure is on. It’s frustrating that I can’t be focusing all my time and energy solely on finishing strong because I have to pay the bills somehow. I know I’m not alone, though. We working-class students always find a way.

All to say, I’m excited to be back in whatever capacity I can manage! If any fellow studyblrs out there want to share some tips on how to manage work and school at the same time, I’m all ears.

Renegade Publishing & The Realities of Anti-Censorship

DISCLAIMER: I can only speak for myself and my own thoughts and opinions; I do not speak for Renegade, ASH, or anyone else. I am attempting to come at this from an objective viewpoint, insofar as any human is able to manage. No part of this is meant as an attack, but rather an open dialogue about community values.

We are a not-for-profit guild of fanbinders — publishing in extremely limited edition fannish works, including fanfiction, meta, original fic, zines, and other works. We are a transformative community connected by shared values, shared goals, shared work, and shared stories. We value fanfiction and fanwork in all its forms, and our fannish culture’s infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

-Excerpt from “Renegade Publishing Manifesto”

Renegade was founded by ArmoredSuperHeavy in 2020, following a viral post titled “I am a Guerrilla Publisher.” This post, along with his document “How To Make A Book”, found its way to like minded folks, spawned a community, and incited the modern fanbinding movement as it is seen today.

This community has since grown exponentially. It can be difficult to see Renegade as a whole, and by extension how vast it is, but here are some statistics to put it into perspective:

SNAPSHOT OF A YEAR (2022)

Typesetting/Binding Exchange: 33 typesetting participants, 41 bound fic participants, more than doubled from the previous year.

FFWAD (Fan Fiction Writer Appreciation Day): 34 books sent to 9 countries

Binderary: 156 books created in 2022. This year, 2023, we had 729 books created from 117 different fandoms.

Additionally, we have Renegade members on every continent (barring Antarctica). The Discord has risen to over 2,000 people, with the Renegade Publishing membership nearing 200. We are a guild of artists shaped by shared community values surrounding the ethos of fanbinding as a craft. Renegade as an organization is run by a volunteer group 40+ strong, with a code of conduct and rules written collectively; no one member or person holds any superior power over the group as a whole. Generalizations on a community this wide and this deep are misplaced and misrepresented.

I myself have been heavily involved in many of these volunteer efforts and events, in a mission to make Renegade’s resources visible and accessible to all, because I believe fanbinding on the whole will be richer and more fulfilling, the more people who are empowered to bind for themselves.

We bind for the following reasons:

To stand against censorship in any of its forms. Most of the books contain subject matter some people may find objectionable on various grounds. Some binders deliberately seek out works that authors and artists were persecuted online for creating.

-Excerpt from “Renegade Publishing Manifesto”

Renegade was founded on an anti-censorship tenet; it has been in our manifesto, our code of conduct, and the server rules since the community’s inception. What content any member chooses to bind is separate from Renegade, and solely their personal choice. Renegade does not content police, or pass any kind of official judgment on the content that anyone chooses to bind. If this sounds familiar, (and it should):

You understand that using the Archive may expose you to material that is offensive, triggering, erroneous, sexually explicit, indecent, blasphemous, objectionable, grammatically incorrect, or badly spelled.

You recognize that the OTW does not endorse Content on the Archive in any way, except when material appears as an official statement of the OTW. No committee members, officers, or directors of the OTW are acting in an official capacity when they post fanworks, commentary, or other Content of the type generally provided by site users.

This is a direct quote from the Terms of Service page for AO3. The Archive does not screen content; there is no content policing on AO3 and there never has been, never will be. The Archive was created specifically so there wouldn’t be any content policing, and was founded on the principle of protecting all fan works - and yes, this does include the content you may think shouldn’t exist, why would somebody write that, etc. If you find any content on AO3 unacceptable, for any reason (you find it offensive, triggering, disgusting, morally reprehensible, etc)...I’m sorry to tell you that it is indeed permitted on the Archive. Renegade is exactly, 100% the same in regards to this issue.

AO3 and Renegade take fandom as a whole - the good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly. At the end of the day, it’s important to recognize that the Archive and Renegade both deliberately chose to keep their content open to all, even while knowing that doing so would essentially be opening Pandora’s Box.

If you disagree with this ethos, that is absolutely fine, as everyone should cultivate and curate their own experiences and spaces. The reality for me is that, whether or not I personally do/do not engage with or condemn/endorse certain content, I believe in the tenet of anti-censorship. I do not feel like it is my place to tell anyone what they can and cannot write, read, or bind, and the Renegade community, like AO3, upholds that belief impartially and unequivocally.

Regardless, just like AO3, it is up to you to curate your own experience. I, personally, do not look into binds of content that I do not wish to engage with; your feed is your own to curate. I have intentionally withheld any kind of personal judgment in this discussion, as it has no bearing on analyzing Renegade’s position and tenet of anti-censorship.

To quote Evelyn Hall:

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

-The Friends of Voltaire, Evelyn Hall

I want to reiterate that I can only speak for myself and my personal analysis and understanding of Renegade’s rules; any official response from Renegade will need to come from an official Renegade page, and any response from ASH will come from his personal pages. We are an organization, just like AO3, and I encourage everyone to explore our informational pages for full context on the above excerpts, if you feel compelled.

"heavy is the head that wears the crown"

👑 The 10th house & The crown one bears

/10th house rulers in the houses

check out more posts from my masterlist I & II✨

Hi beautiful it's Jenx back with another informative post haha! I hope you enjoy this 360 degrees take on your success & links to the 10th house. I'll also talk about 10th house rulers in here if you don't have any 10th house planets✨Check out my old post on Saturn in the houses here if you're interested loves! Let's dive right in 🤎🤍

The more planets in your 10th House, the more vital your career is to you. These distinct specific talents that come with the native's occupation and capacity to attain goals include: vital energy, leadership, the capacity to think outside the box, and a positive mood. These natives has a significant, specific gift or ability that will be developed in the material world through their job. The most common manifestation of this is their involvement in public service.

Planets in the 10th house

Sun in the tenth

  The career is incredibly essential to these natives, serving as a significant part of their daily lives and renewing them. They have to be working with the public in some manner in order to feel active and alive. The experience of being out in the world, deeply connected with the public and in the workforce, enriches them and makes their energy soar! Since having a regular job helps them to feel better about themselves, it is typically preferable for them to go to work each day instead of exercising at home. Being in public places serves to restore people's vigour and focus their energies. It's okay for a homemaker to be involved in the public arena, as long as they are not overburdened and as long as they are able to use their leadership abilities, creativity, and "recharge their batteries." To choose among several possibilities, they may be willing to take a position on the board of an organization that they support, or to volunteer with a group that helps the people or communities they know and care about. A purpose to strive toward is essential for persons with the Sun in the 10th House, as this helps to spark their creative energy and motivates them to take action. The people who achieve are those who have a goal they can see and have made a plan to accomplish it. As an example, adopting a particular aim to improve a relationship might empower people to take control of the issue. The objective may be to find a way to bring more intimacy, enjoyment, and better communication into the relationship. In their lifetime, their Soul has already committed to increasing their overall leadership capacity by refining and integrating their natural skill. Many aspects of the process revolve upon a character's growth. In order to progress, the main character must be willing to accept an increase in their objectives, motivation, integrity, and maturity. The other participants engaged must be included in any planning and must have a mutually beneficial aim in mind - such as accomplishing something together instead of using their talents to fulfill solely their own individual aims. The people from every aspect of their life—career, relationships, and families—are becoming more capable at using their abilities and talents to help others. In order to become more self-respecting, respected, and gain leadership positions, it takes time to learn how to express their creative leadership qualities in ways that foster self-respect, respect from others, and a successful leadership career. The way others fight the native's leadership is an indication that they have abandoned their values in favour of selfish interests. If this occurs, their best hope is to seek out others and ask them what they want to occur if things take a turn for the worst. As a result, they will be able to reassess how to best satisfy the requirements of everyone involved. As natural leaders learn via trial and error, they'll be able to realize their intrinsic leadership capabilities more completely. They increase in popularity as they obtain more public influence, and as a result, the size of their impact in this area may be estimated by how widely others acknowledge and respect them, and as a result, others willingly join their cause.

Moon in the tenth

Moon in the 10th house enables the native to have the following characteristics and talents: empathy, a nurturing nature, capacity to connect with people, and a loving attitude. The native requires public engagement for emotional fulfillment. Public figures have a greater sense of fulfillment in their careers, since it contributes to a deeper level of personal happiness. It gives them great pleasure to assume center stage, and delivering speeches in public is something they like a great deal. When they take control of a situation and draw others together to work toward a goal, they feel fulfilled. They know they are safe once they reveal their true personalities in the world. Additionally, this enriches people's lives by fostering emotions of fulfillment and personal well-being while simultaneously augmenting their capacities to be kind and supportive. However, for those who are housewives, they still require a degree of participation in the public sector in order to experience a full emotional life. Many of them may choose to join an organization that works toward their own beliefs, such working with the PTA or another community organization. Every part of their existence revolves on having a clear, obvious aim, and that drives their desire to achieve stability. When they have achieved it, they are confident in their ability to succeed. Setting clear "goals" and developing a logical strategy to meet those goals may stimulate someone's "survival drive" since they will have a safe and healthy future to look forward to. It allows people to stay connected to their emotional selves, which helps them get the necessary energy to attain their goals. They have committed to progress in this lifetime by honing their inherent abilities to convey their emotional core in the public sphere and developing their aptitude for empathy and nurturing. Growth and self-empowerment to higher maturity and self-knowledge is necessary in order to get the most out of this portion of their character. In terms of emotional integrity, those who have the Moon in the 10th House have the chance for a lifetime evolution of character. In general, increased comfort and security while discussing honest sentiments with people might be seen as a result. During this phase, people may go through various professional or personal aspirations changes. People want a wide range of new experiences because they are looking to enrich their personal and emotional understanding as well as their worldview. This person is mastering the skill of being more compassionate and understanding in all aspects of their life, including their profession, their personal relationships, and their family. First, they must understand how others feel about their objective, and then integrate their wishes and requirements in their planning. Affecting others' sentiments to get a goal leads in more favorable outcomes than disregarding or overcoming someone else's sentiments to get their own aim. The difficult part is to learn how to convey their genuine sentiments so that others react in response to the desired outcome. When it comes to speaking about others' sentiments, we must be willing to be vulnerable. There is only one way for the loving nature of the native to be recognized and given free rein in the world. Sharing their emotions with honesty empowers people to better understand and sympathize with their feelings, and a sense of belonging frequently eludes them. Gaining others' respect, as well as being given positions of leadership, is a byproduct of this. This may indicate that their power is being resisted due to a tendency to surrender to temptation and misuse their emotional influence. The only effective thing they can do in this situation is to back off and evaluate how they might communicate their sentiments to the other person in a way that they can accept and appreciate, while still giving weight to their sentiments. There is a possibility that letting go of their fears and being vulnerable by disclosing their issues first would allow them to connect on a deeper level.

The more the native is exposed to learning how to leverage their emotional impact in a positive way, the more good results they will produce and more charge they will take control over in a loving way. The degree to which others recognize and appreciate their nurturing spirit and willingly follow their leadership is a good indicator of how successfully they've expressed their emotional body.

Mercury in the tenth

Professions such as writing, public speaking, outstanding communication skills, reasoning abilities, salesmanship, learning, and teaching have specific gifts and benefits bestowed on them. Avoiding boredom and stimulating the mind both need global participation for the native. Their abilities to communicate effectively in public are best displayed in the public arena. People want to share their thoughts and ideas fuel enthusiasm, therefore it seems sense that famous people motivate others to communicate. Those who suffer from emotions of social isolation or boredom will benefit from spending time in public places sharing information with others.Mentally stimulating work or exciting work is frequently linked to a vocation or profession that enhances their mental ability and their interest in sharing ideas. It is possible for individuals to get it in a variety of ways, but most often it is via pursuing personal objectives that are personally meaningful to them through a support group, non-profit organization, school, etc. It is crucial for the native to be involved in the public arena whether they are homemakers or not. Volunteering for an organization or group that benefits their family or community might be a possibility. They would be excellent for working on the newsletter, or making calls. Having specified objectives in every aspect of their life helps the person's logical and mental capabilities to activate, making it possible for them to achieve. For example, setting a particular " a target" and designing a smart strategy are excellent ways to help people lose or gain fame.  All they have to do is sit down and decide what it is they hope to accomplish. Doing so allows them to be sharp, focused, and organized. In their lifetime, their Soul has agreed to go deeper with their talents, such as leadership, communication, and so on, via employing their talents. Growth in these three categories—maturity, self-awareness, and integrity—is critical to making progress in this area. A lifelong chance to learn how to psychologically connect with people so that they might have more pleasant experiences is offered to natives with Mercury in the 10th House. In every facet of life, there are lessons to be learned for handling work, relationships, and family; and everyone is in the process of learning how to more effectively convey their thoughts with integrity. Only a momentary victory is achieved when someone uses words to gain an advantage over their opponent, especially if they're doing so by intelligent reasoning or clever speech. Losing the fight because of neglecting to incorporate the ideas of others might lead to a brief success, but ultimately they will "lose the war." If they are not paying attention to the other person, their conversation will be one-way and likely to have an air of lecturing about it. Sometimes individuals might become so involved in the conversation that they fail to realize that both parties must be speaking and asking questions in order to better understand each other. It means communicating honestly, and being interested in the other person's thoughts. Honoring their right to their own point of view rather than disputing with them to establish that they are "Right" is vital. When the native does some due diligence and determines the other individuals' aims instead of jumping to conclusions, they may formulate a mutually acceptable aim that everyone is on board with. Once they have established themselves as valued assets, their ideas and talents become accepted and highly regarded assets that help to lead to the garnering of respect and being placed in positions of leadership. If others react negatively to their communication, they have likely utilized their logical and linguistic talents in an attempt to get their own way, without considering the impact it may have on others. When this happens, people should look for different ways to communicate so that their needs and wishes are taken into consideration. When they are treated fairly, people will be more open to their views.

As the native continuously learns by trying and failing how to communicate their ideas, they will come up with more beneficial outcomes when they assume responsibility. It is how others see and respect their communication abilities and put their faith in their leadership that demonstrates their capacity for progress in this area. 

Venus in the tenth

A greater appreciation of beauty and art, diplomacy, social skills, magnetism, a loving spirit, and a positive attitude are among the Venus attributes bestowed to natives when they choose a vocation or focus on their objectives. Individuals with Venus in the 10th House must engage with the public to quell their need to be adored. When they are out in the world, they feel the most alive. When they are in the public light, their physical appearance is also improved. Goal-setting, speaking in public, and participating in their job all help to open their heart and inspire love. If they are feeling lonely, they should seek out others to connect with. All natives require social engagement and loving exchanges, and all of these things may be found at a museum, a meeting of people who share similar hobbies and occupations, or in a management group. For those who identify as homemakers, public participation is critical in order to help fulfill their desire for social connection and overall well-being. Awards they win may be given to organizations or groups that help their family and/or community, or to charities that advocate causes they care about. A fanning the flame of their love will promote every aspect of their lives, no matter how mundane. If their soul contracts again during this lifetime, it will do so in order to help them refine and integrate their social abilities. This largely involves the ability to grow as a person in terms of integrity, maturity, and self-confidence. In particular, these locals are learning how to utilize their magnetic allure and charm more fairly. Instead of using their attractiveness and diplomatic abilities to obtain goals at another's expense, they are learning to resist the desire to misappropriate their power. The next steps to helping them get better outcomes in this area are by learning about the intents and desires of everyone involved before making a decision on a goal. Once they have worked with the other stakeholders to develop a mutually agreed-upon goal, they may help implement it. When people go the "high road," they receive respect and are seen as diplomatic and socially adept; these attributes allow them to rise to positions of authority. If others reject their social leadership, they are probably doing so because they have exploited their attractiveness and charm to "mislead" someone into having sex with them in order to achieve their aim. They should retreat and think about how they may utilize their social and diplomatic talents in a more honest way to address the needs of others. Natives learn often by trial and error, discovering the means by which they can use their talents in social interactions to achieve their goals. When they discover these techniques, they establish harmonious, loving relationships that do not yield to the temptation to misuse their beauty and their abilities in the pursuit of selfish aims.

Growth is assessed by how effective you are at communicating, acknowledging, and valuing your abilities and contributions, and following your leadership.

Mars in the tenth

These talents and abilities brought to the job and abilities to meet goals include being brave, being outspoken, having initiative, and having the capacity to encourage others. Energizing and motivating, they take charge in getting outcomes. Mars in the 10th House those who want to boost their energy and motivation have a desire to take part in public life or to accomplish a particular objective. When a person or organization has fully taken responsibility for a goal or project, then they have the energy necessary to accomplish the work. When others look up to them as the "authority," they have an incentive to take action. In order to remain joyful, energetic, and motivated, the homemaker must maintain some form of participation in the public sector. Volunteering to help the PTA or another organization that helps their family and/or the community might be something that's on their minds.

Another way to get job on the board of a nonprofit organization is to research nonprofit organizations with aims they believe in. Going to a public location might boost your initiative and re-energize your batteries if you find yourself discouraged or melancholy. Setting objectives helps to promote their courageous spirit, encourages and encourages them to take action, and is crucial in all areas of their life. To give them a concrete objective they can pursue is to empower them to take the lead and establish a plan of action that can lead to success.

When you know exactly what you want to do, it energizes your efforts and motivates you to achieve. Through further refining and integrating their intrinsic potential for self-assertion, their Soul has contracted for more growth in this lifetime. In order to become more productive in this area, you must learn to acquire these characteristics: honesty, self-empowerment, and growth in maturity. How they relate to others and the results they get will inspire them to alter their approach to other people in order to get better results. Failing to be truthful about what it is that they desire in a scenario leads to other people being upset. They might become distracted by rage or use sex to dominate others, or they might strive to expedite their work to meet their own ambitions. Although this will result in encountering numerous instances when they are excluded, it will have no other effect. When others have shown their anger at being off-track, they can do one of two things: refuse to play with them, or aggressively attack them. Every element of their lives - their work, their relationships, and their families - teaches them how to become more bold, proactive, and courageous. Having greater honesty in the manner you go about collaborating with people is included. Honesty, cooperation, and responsibility are vital components of giving leadership in a way that others can collaborate with. Informing their interactions with others on these essentials will enable them to earn respect and positions of leadership. There may be other natives who are resisting this native in some part of their life. It is most probable that they have succumbed to temptation or utilized their brave initiative poorly. For example, they may have resorted to sex or violence. When this happens, their best strategy is to avoid engaging with people, maintaining a general appearance of isolation, and then re-evaluate the way they have been dealing with people when it comes to setting and reaching their objectives. In order to ensure that everyone's goals are actually the same and that some modifications are made in the partnership, it is necessary that they verify that everyone else engaged has the same values and priorities. As individuals experiment with ways to better demonstrate their abilities to take leadership, they will experience increasing levels of success. Being recognized as someone who is in control and takes responsibility indicates to them how effective their progress has been. When people see that other people are being given credit for their natural talents, they will happily join them in leading.

Jupiter in the tenth

Jupiter contributes good luck, belief in favorable outcomes, the capability to inspire others, and an expansive, optimistic attitude to the individual's career and capacity to attain goals. Jupiter is situated in the 10th House of those with the need to influence others in a professional position, and their commitment brings "good luck" to their task in that field. People who work in this industry are the happiest when their job allows them to reflect their spiritual beliefs, and they are able to share these beliefs and inspire others to do the same. As a result, these people's hearts are filled with expanding, positive energy since they are doing something that gives them positive, inspiring energy by offering it to others. Destiny has chosen these locals to do something meaningful with their lives. In order to feel their drive for development and expansion, they must engage the broader public in some way. Regardless of whether or not the native is a housewife, they will need to be involved in public life in order to keep their upbeat spirit, capacity to draw good luck, and overall positive attitude. If they get hired on at an organization working on something they believe in, or if they volunteer for a group doing work that helps them and/or their community, they could consider a job with the organization. Having clear and distinct objectives in both their personal and professional lives is crucial. When people have a goal, they may increase their intrinsic faith and optimism, and they get empowered to move forward. Since they have a good attitude, they also have the ability to inspire success as well as to fuel their abilities to produce great outcomes in any sector. In the example above, if the individual wants to revive their relationship with their partner, they will benefit from having a concrete goal (which, in this case, may include enhancing intimacy, having more fun, or opening communication lines) which will generate positive energy and empower them to take charge of their lives and form a clearly defined plan of action to create success.

They have a strong desire to apply their natural abilities for leadership and management in this lifetime, and they've engaged in lifelong refinement and integration to that end. Leadership skill development is made possible because via this process, participants learn how to harness their innate leadership talents with their optimism and belief in positive results while using greater honesty. When it comes to character development, you will need to grow to a larger maturity if you want to fully grasp this aspect of yourself. No matter in whether aspect of their life, job, or personal relationships they find themselves, they are all learning to comprehend that in each scenario, they must consider what the other person's intentions are and incorporate them into their own objectives. They lose people's confidence when they attempt to persuade others to follow their plan even though it is not in the best interest of those around them in order to get their own personal gain. If they do not get the outcomes they wanted, then they can experience a lack of enthusiasm, and potentially even public anger. As they realize, the conditions they establish will need to be both mutually beneficial for long-term success to occur. When I say practice what you preach, what I mean is to exhibit your own faith through your everyday actions. They must slow down their work process long enough to be honest about their goals and to discuss those objectives with everyone else in the room. Only then can they put their abilities to work and develop a win-win situation for everyone. The end outcome of this process is that they will earn respect, their good energy will be welcomed and cherished, and they will be placed in leadership roles. When they do this, their best course of action is to go back and think about how they may regain their integrity while still considering others. Learning via trial and error helps them to apply their ability as an inspirational leader to result in win-win outcomes. They may be tracked by how much people know about them, respect their natural abilities, and voluntarily follow their direction. 

Saturn in the tenth 

Like Saturn, you possess certain unique abilities and traits: decisiveness, strength, discipline, organization, and the capacity to accept responsibility for accomplishment. The locals here have a strong sense of purpose, or "mission," in their lives. Their childhood feelings led them to believe that they were "supposed to accomplish" something for the good of the world, and this motivated them to bring their mission into the open. They may not know exactly what the work is, but they are on their way to fulfilling this duty by assuming responsibility for being the "CEO" in their own life, especially in their work and with their personal ambitions. To find out if they have realized their full potential, people need to be involved in the public sphere. Even if the native is a housewife, they must preserve their sense of self-worth and a sense of purpose by engagement in the public sector to help them to feel respected and fulfilled. Direct action increases their abilities to lead, as well as their passion to improve the well-being of others, and fires their will to achieve. Volunteering with a nonprofit that helps their family and/or community can help provide financial security. They can have a positive influence in the community by doing initiatives in their own house, or by encouraging one of their children to excel in a public venue. Whether or not the individual is able to directly participate in a public activity does not prohibit them from making a difference, as they may contribute to their local newspaper or be a part of an organization that helps advance their own aims. They can serve as a role model to others, even while they are involved in their own lives. Setting clear and practical goals in all aspects of their lives is crucial. Knowing your destination motivates self-discipline, enables one to take responsibility, and supplies energy for all endeavors. For example, if their relationship with their mate has grown more tiring, having a specific goal to strengthen it (enhance intimacy, improve their enjoyment of one another, or enhance their communication) will inspire them to take charge and implement a strategy that will assist them in their achievement of that goal.

Once they have a goal, they are able to motivate themselves, and get into their "do-or-die" mindset. To get the success that they desire, the native must assume ultimate responsibility. Although they can delegate, a manager must be in control of the results. Pressure exerted by a certain deadline really enhances their self-discipline. Here, their Soul has entered into a new contract with an agreement to further refine and integrate their leadership capabilities. Becoming the CEO is a lifelong process of learning how to act with greater integrity, resulting in increased productivity. More to the point, it is about personal development, which necessitates an openness to growth and increased self-empowerment in this area of oneself. A bad trait of theirs is that they want to take control away from others in order to reach their own goals. But if they do, they'll end up realizing they've made a big mistake, and learn the hard way that they cannot treat people with contempt. For the most part, they will have the opportunity to exhibit their ability to lead by doing what they do for a living. Despite being used to expressing readiness and aptitude to take leadership, they are learning how to retain integrity while doing so. for them, mastering this area entails taking other people's aims and contributions into consideration, and giving respect and regard To become a successful CEO, a company's team members must unite their various talents, and then acknowledge and validate those who aid them in their goal. By using their abilities in this way, they will find that, not only do great outcomes follow, but they will also win the respect of others and be promoted to leadership positions. When others fight against their leadership, that can mean one of two things: either they have given in to temptation and developed a newfound egotism that leads them to overlook those who are challenging them, or they've yielded to temptation and become so fixated on their own self-importance that they no longer care about the welfare of those around them. By alienating people who would otherwise be eager to help, this alienates those who would. When this happens, it is an indication for them to review their assertive techniques. They might try talking to the other parties involved to see if there are any methods to make the aim an even trade for everyone involved. When they work together to build a shared aim everyone can commit to, people discover that they are more inclined to accept responsibility and work toward a goal. Because of this learning process, individuals will be able to achieve more effective results when they show their leadership abilities. As long as people recognize, respect, and appreciate them as the authority in their sector, and are willing to work with their leadership, a company's growth is considered successful.

Neptune in the tenth

Neptune in the 10th house Neptune associates native occupation and ability to accomplish goals with the following attributes and talents: creative insights, imagination, sensitivity, a capacity for the paranormal, idealism, and a spiritual character. Those with Neptune in the 10th House want to be a part of the universal energies' flow so that they are able to be emotionally connected to all they experience. As a result, their career is stimulating to this facet of their personality. This ability to open their heart with compassion and feel the ecstasy of unconditional love increases their exposure to the public eye. Connecting with a Higher Power may be experienced to the fullest through connecting with the public sector. In addition to their traditional responsibilities as a homemaker, natives who want to pursue an artistic career or otherwise use their creative or visionary abilities will need to engage in the public arena to excite their imagination, empower their artistic nature, and recharge their visionary abilities. Another suggestion is to volunteer at their church or with another organization that serves the community and/or their family.

Instead, they might work in an organization where their efforts help to support and pursue dreams that excite their heart. Setting objectives in all areas of their lives is crucial, since it encourages kids to develop their imaginations, help them envision a creative plan of action, and gives them the confidence to take control. They may set a specific objective to better their connection with their partner (create more intimacy, have more fun togeth- er, open the lines of communication, etc.). Once they've surrendered to a Higher Power, they can use their talent to help them get through the procedure. The more clearly you can identify your objective, the greater your magical powers will be, and the greater your energy supply will be as you strive for success in any field. While there is part of them that fights against ambitions that are overly materialistic, they do, on the other hand, seek success. For them to be interested, you need a small dose of idealism. To make better use of their abilities, they've cultivated their creative imagination and visionary spiritual awareness in the process of refining and integrating their abilities. Having the ability to evolve into a more mature, committed, and self-empowered person is primarily dependent on the character's willingness to do so. They will become more conscious of the need of integrity via this process. They will avoid deluding others and remain loyal to their responsibility of not abusing another's trust with this newfound knowledge. People will be tempted to present a far-fetched vision of prospective outcomes in order to get people on board with their own personal aspirations if they haven't developed a strong sense of integrity within themselves. Sometimes, in an effort to accomplish their aims, they may try to play both the role of the "savior" and the "victim." However, it's possible to use the power of illusion just so far. No matter how much people try to convince themselves that their feelings are justified, in the end, they will feel negatively if the scenario does not base its actions on common goals that suit the requirements of everyone involved. Credibility is lost when their fantasies are too far away from reality. It can also result in their loss of trust and a significant emotional impact for them. These locals learn to be truthful and retain integrity in all aspects of their life, as well as their work, family relationships, and life-long connections. Once they have a grasp of the other people's goals, then they should think about what the aim should be. If they are able to harness their sensitivity and spiritual comprehension of the situation, they will be able to help inspire and unite everyone in order to build a collective objective that they are all committed to. Success in implementing this process results in their being acknowledged by others, which places them in positions of leadership where their keen sensitivity to subtle, psychic worlds is much prized. When others reject them, they have given to temptation and used an illusion as opposed to the reality because of the pursuit of a personal objective. They should avoid making the issue worse by retreating and re-evaluating the scenario. In order to better address the requirements of everybody affected, how might they change the aim and/or the way in which they are taking charge? Through trial and error, a native learns how to convey their visionary talents and concepts based on truth and integrity. Their ability to progress in this area may be quantified by how many people acknowledge and respect their spiritual abilities and ability to perceive subtle levels of the spiritual world, and how easily they are followed. 

Uranus in the tenth

Uranus, is in the 10th house. The following skills and abilities are associated with the Uranus sign: unconventional ways, out-of-the-box thinking, and inventive solutions. Those with Uranus in the 10th House are more likely to think of creative ways to grow their business, and thus they'll usually have unique thoughts on how to make the decisions they make. They prefer to be their own boss: Being required to follow several layers of bureaucracy before implementing their creative ideas drives them crazy. People who bring out their rebellious side tend to have power over them. For this reason, individuals can't put up with tradition or the status quo even though it's accepted due of the quickness of their thoughts. Because they are innately able to perceive trends in advance, they are able to jump on emerging opportunities and, consequently, are usually the first to attain a goal that others will later be chasing. Having a specific source of excitement for them is something that they experience when they are working in their job or career. There is a correlation between getting the attention of the people and boosting their capacity for invention and stimulating their yearning for freedom to live life in their own manner. Involvement in the public arena is necessary for one to get an appreciation for fresh awakenings and knowledge. Homemakers are almost always involved in activities outside the house. People who spend time in the public sector show ingenuity, strengthen their ability to lead, and restore their vitality. A good idea is to join a group whose ideas align with your own. Another choice is accepting a seat on the board of an organization that works toward goals that they value, while also helping the members of their family and/or the community.

If people create objectives in all parts of their lives, it will stimulate their unique abilities to bring their aspirations to fruition in the manner they envision. It might be an example when relationships with their mate become less enjoyable, in which case, you need craft a particular aim to reignite the passion (by creating more intimacy, having more fun together, opening the lines of communica- tion, etc.). In order to lose or gain fame, individuals might set a goal and figure up a sensible strategy that will lead to their desired outcome, including a deadline. There is a good chance that they are pursuing their own strategy, but they need a specific objective to succeed. Pursuing a goal helps creative thinkers, inspires fans, and enables people to become successful in any field. They must now adhere to the rules set out by this lifetime's Soul to achieve further progress in their Soul's mission of refining and integrating their capabilities to be unconventional and to think outside the box, especially in regard to the manner in which they express their authority. It takes years to learn how to communicate their visionary ideas such that they lead to real-world results. Due to character development, a willingness to evolve and become more mature and self-empowered is required. They're all learning to express their autonomous, unusual character while simultaneously attaining their goals, all while maintaining integrity. This involves refraining from leveraging their unorthodox views' "shock value" to try to accomplish their aim, since this results in others either pushing away or being hostile against them. Another facet of creating a more effective conclusion is realizing that to get it, you will have to deal with the wants and requirements of the other individuals involved as well as the probable responses and worries of others. Gaining respect while providing leadership opportunities is a primary benefit of this strategy. Often others are unwilling to work with them due to their impatience, self-interest, or inability to bear inconveniences. When this happens, the greatest thing they can do is draw back and reevaluate how they might help others. Only then will they be more cooperative. Because they are still learning by trial and error, they will produce better outcomes in showcasing their capacity to take command. The increase in their success in this area may be assessed by how much others acknowledge and value their talents of vision and enthusiasm, and how willingly they team up with their leadership.

Pluto in the tenth

Pluto is able to contribute several positive features and talents: the capacity to empower people, charm, and transformation, as well as the capacity to become an agent of change, transformation, and alchemy. This native works via his involvement in the public arena to help himself to better self-mastery and personal empowerment. People who work in the public sector have their own personal fears when it comes to displaying their authority. Native people may be reluctant to unleash their full power and might in the world because of the risk of retribution. People can gain life lessons of integrity that enhance their character and strength if they allow the Light to be seen. To the people who are ready to take the risk, life presents opportunities that allow them to learn how to show their power in beneficial ways. Choosing the route of honesty means they can win time and time again. For them to do this, they're accepting the risk of walking through the process, during which they'll experience entire regeneration of self, confront their own fears, and gain greater personal power and leadership skills in the world. Regardless of whether the native is a housewife, they will still need to be involved in the public sphere to continue to grow and empower themselves. To help carry out the organization's aims, consider volunteering for a board seat with an organization that embraces these ideals. Organize an association, such as the PTA, that serves a community or local organization that directly helps your family and/or your community. They should try to do their best in all aspect of their lives, since having a fixed goal motivates them and enables them to assume control. For example, when a relationship with their partner becomes less fulfilling, having a specific goal to improve it (to help people bond and enjoy each other's company, to better communicate, or to take charge of a clear course of action) gives them the necessary energy and personal empowerment to act on a clear plan of action.

Alternatively, if people wish to gain or lose fame, they should determine a particular target and a well-conceived strategy for attaining it, together with a set timeframe.

As people strive to build their lives, their careers, and their relationships, they are learning to use their personality and skills to empower others with more integrity. Knowing what others' aims are is part of understanding one's own objectives. If individuals feel that others' aims are being compromised in order to meet their own goals, they will oppose them. And if they succeed by using force, they attract an inevitable violent backlash and social ostracism. The natives best hope is to see if others are refusing to follow them in some aspect of their life and then see if they can follow in a manner that is more amenable to cooperation. What is ultimately most essential is if the aspirations of others are naturally congruent with their own purposes and intentions. Many individuals learn how to effectively exhibit their power and charisma via trial and error. This has a domino effect on other aspects of their lives, including increasing their self-esteem and the respect of others. Successful growth may be defined as the degree to which others acknowledge, recognize, and willingly follow the leadership of those who provide transformative gifts. 

North Node in the tenth

This individual brings some key traits and abilities to their profession: the gift of being able to be "the boss" in a way that generates rapport with those they are leading, the ability to reach goals, and the power to inspire others by "walking the talk." They have incarnated in many former lives feeling stuck in families due to familial obligations, or forced to remain within their family due to the needs of survival. People will learn enormous emotional empathy as well as the ability to identify and respond to other people's personal issues and fears throughout their lifetimes. That intuitive grasp of how others feel allows them to excel as leaders. The ability to develop these attributes was a requirement for their previous incarnations. To be taken care of by those who went out into the world to fulfill the group's material demands, many generations have developed a lack of personal competence and self-respect at the outset of this existence. To help them achieve their personal goals, their next responsibility is to feel the satisfaction of achievement. To have success in the world, they must learn to manage their emotional reactivity so they aren't always "swamped" by their feelings. They will rebuild their self-esteem and get respect from others as a result of completing this procedure. Their lifelong companions are their goals. to put themselves in a position to confront feelings they've had bottled up for a long time, they should establish a goal that asks them to go beyond their personal limits Work environments where those who manage others, or manage themselves, excel are likely to be very conducive to their productivity.

For example, they can establish a monthly income target in order to help them feel more confident about their financial status. Don't be impractical and naïve. Once they know how much they need each month to feel comfortable, their next step is to identify possible possibilities that might allow them to meet their financial objective. To keep their attention on their aim when talking about the issue, they should consider themselves financially dependent on their partner. Letting their emotions get the best of them will not provide any results. Only by offering their partner something practical and logical can their partnership be improved. In order to achieve their goals, they must "have it in their minds" that they are the authority. There are two additional alternatives in this case: they are on their own, or they believe they require more money than their spouse can offer to feel comfortable. If you think your income needs boosting, perhaps it's time to hunt for a better-paying work or pursue a second job that might complement your income. The biggest issue for them is that they must have a goal in mind, and then be prepared to sacrifice their emotional considerations in order to focus on that objective.

South Node in the tenth

The. boss can be indicated by the position of the South Node in the 10th House, where many prior incarnations have a person in authority who makes sure that the shared aims of the family or clan are met. a They're used to accepting responsibility for getting things done in many various settings, and that is not a problem for them. Because of this, it is a given that they would assume control in life and want to be the boss. On the other hand, if a character trait is overemphasized, the whole character will be off balance. In order to better cope with all of the stress and pressure they now face, they simply avoided becoming the type of person that had such soft emotions and vulnerabilities in the past. As a result, unconscious patterns harm the emotional and spiritual well-being of their soul in this lifetime. When someone has a "take charge" mentality, they may be seen as "controlling" by others. When they are not cared for and safeguarded by the family unit, they will lose the sense of having been taken care of and looked after. Their family doesn't love them, yet they still adore their family. Their difficulty is to free themselves from the anxiety that stems from an underlying feeling of "intrinsic objectives that loom increasingly larger." The main goal is to end procrastination and begin experiencing bliss immediately.

As they pursue their own distinct abilities and initiatives that invigorate them and make them happy, their contributions may contribute to society. However, celebrity for its own sake does not give them any energy, and it does not excite their inherent abilities. On the contrary, becoming an open public figure does not appeal to them. They aren't striving for notoriety in the public eye, nor do they wish to make an impact on the public. They don't seek recognition and admiration for their work, but they do want people to know and appreciate what they're doing. This will happen naturally as a result of the complete pursuing the professional road with regard to the general public brings each of these aspects of life to their highest level of development.

They are instead developing the humanitarian impulse, teaching people to awaken it in themselves so that they, too, may make a difference in their own lives.

10H ruler in the twelfth

The native takes their psychic sensitivity into their job as a tool to pursue their goal when the 10th House planet dominates the 12th House. What they envisioned, together with their own desire, came to fruition in the form of public performance. As well, when they are not completely up to speed, they find themselves in the spotlight due to their profession. It is via their profession that they are given the opportunity to become more conscious of, and to evolve beyond, their self-limiting behaviors. The goal of their lifetime has to do with doing something in the form of a dream or vision while not being a specific person or known to the public. People who wield this kind of influence have the capacity to bring the audience in contact with an authentic sense of beauty, imagination, and art they have seen. It is also part of their aim to let the general public to see an inspiring view of the future they foresee. When individuals end up "off course" in their pursuit of their goals, they have slipped into a self-sabotaging behavior escape, denial, or ignoring problems altogether.

As long as the Ruler of the 10th House falls in the 12th House, it is necessary to exploit their connection with a Higher Power to achieve professional achievement. Inborn psychic sensitivity enables them to perceive intangible parts of a situation and envision the optimal resolution of it. Most likely, they have found their dream job because they have successfully manifested a vision or a secret desire. Instead of approaching a problem with the intellect alone, those with the innate ability to connect with the subtler, unseen elements of existence can tap into spiritual support and guidance, thereby enabling them to achieve both personal and professional goals. Each of these unique presents makes them accessible to a broad audience while keeping them in the background and maintaining their privacy. The "vibe" between two individuals, the emotional mood in a space, the nuances that others are unaware of, are very susceptible to subtle causes. Sometimes they might retreat from the world because of hypersensitivity to others, or they might use hypersensitivity into a tool to find direction and safety via a personal connection with a Higher Power. Therefore, people might regain confidence in the world around them by creating a "spiritual insulation" to provide support. They have the unique opportunity to serve as role models by helping others see the spiritual force that is inside them. In order to achieve their full potential, they will have to identify the deep-rooted, subconscious self-sabotaging patterns and inhibitions that usually hold them back. That will enable them to use their full ability for the benefit of society. The negativity of these old habits has held people back from having a sense of mastery in specific aspects of their life, and as long as these patterns continue to dominate their behavior, they will remain unfulfilled. It will need a period of self-reflection to eradicate them. Addictions such as drugs, self-destructive behaviors, and undesirable habits may all have to be dealt with. if they are ready to choose this spiritual road, they will discover a condition of being that they are released from the constraints of being held in "prison," allowing them to finally be free from inhibitions that have held them back from being able to express themselves freely in social interactions A miraculous success in the world is possible for them. It depends on whether or not they are willing to ask for advice, support, and aid from their Higher Power.

So, remember that episode of BTAS that’s all an elaborate illusion created by Mad Hatter where Bruce just gets to be happy with Selina as a fiancée, his parents are alive, and being Batman/protecting Gotham is someone else’s business?  I imagine that, like every other scenario that’s managed to catch him completely unawares, Bruce has done some intense mental training/mind palace thing to prevent falling for that sort of trap again. Thing is, whether it’s the Hatter, or some new strain of pollen Ivy came up with or a drug of some kind, it’ll still take at least a few minutes for his brain to Batman its way back to reality, which leaves Bruce aware yet still interacting with his parents. And instead of running off to brood about their deaths, because he knows he can’t physically make his body go anywhere until he comes to, he just talks to them. Thomas and Martha are, of course, Confused, but eventually just happy to listen to their son, and what does B talk about? His kids. About how he’s watched Dick grow into one of the most resilient men he’s ever known; the fact that regardless of how many times he’s found himself evicted, he’s kept his position in Bludhaven as an officer with prospects for making captain; how he’s actually been putting off a promotion because doing the work himself is so important to him, interacting with the people and being a teammate. That even so, Bruce still worries about Dick’s brittle, too-often smiles, that he puts too much responsibility for his family’s well-being on himself. About Jason’s latest essay that he wrote just because he could, how he casually quotes themes in Shakespeare and Austen in a given conversation; how, despite his history with the place, he’ll still visit Crime Alley armed with little more than worn out copies of Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes and clear away trash from what were once playgrounds and read aloud until he’s gathered a small audience. About Tim’s mind, the capacity to organize and locate the thread of logic amidst chaos that still surprises Bruce at times. How, as a brother, he’s finally starting to allow himself to be the child the Drakes always discouraged him from being; how he’s made real friends, gotten more than half a dozen acceptance letters to schools across the country. About Damian’s kindness, flourishing in an environment that actually allows him to express it; how he’s slowly shedding his militant outlook, gradually less befuddled by the dynamics of how a family works, that his insistence on the importance of pedigree are now more token and habitual than truly dogmatic. How many damn animals are in and around Wayne manor, now; how he’s started volunteering at animal shelters and how Bruce has started searching for veterinary internships for a couples years down the line. About Cass, who spent the vast majority of her formative years being raised solely for violence; how she possesses a staggering capacity for love that, as a sister and a daughter, she finally has an outlet for, taking every opportunity to hold Dick’s hand, bump Tim’s shoulder, or hug Jason and Damian just because she can and because she knows they need one. How she’s started picking up ASL because she wants another way to communicate without words that isn’t the one she was raised with; that she asked Bruce recently if she could find a way to work with nonverbal children and impart the practical cues she’s learned about body language and microexpressions to young women in Gotham.  About Steph, who isn’t even his in the same way the others are, but whose day he still asks after whenever he can. How brave she is, how bright despite coming from much the same Gotham that Jason was born into. How great she is for the rest of the kids; a sister for Cass, a reminder to Jason of what he used to be before the worst of his trauma and perhaps the one who understands him best, a friend who isn’t afraid to push Tim out of his comfort zone and doesn’t mind when he feels awkward.  Bruce spends around twenty minutes just... bragging about his kids to his parents, and it’s all he’s ever wanted. In an ideal world–Bruce’s ideal world–his kids would never have needed him to offer safety and shelter in the first place. Short of that? He wants to share what makes him proudest with his mother and father; not the crime-fighting, not Wayne Enterprises, but his kids.
