An Aries Moon can present challenges due to the incompatibility between Mars (which rules Aries) and the Moon. Mars is outwardly focused, action-driven, aggressive, and full of desires, while the Moon is more introspective, focusing on emotions and nurturing. Because of this, Aries Moons struggle with internalizing their emotions; instead, they tend to act on them impulsively. Their emotions don’t get processed internally—they are expressed through immediate action, which often leads to impulsiveness.

Mars is aggressive, while the Moon is nurturing, so Aries Moons often struggle with nurturing others. When they give, it’s often done in an aggressive manner, rather than with emotional warmth or sentimentality. For example, if they want to give you a gift, it may be practical or something you’ve requested, but there’s no underlying emotional connection or thoughtfulness. They act, but they don’t take the time to ponder how their actions may make you feel.

Additionally, Mars is very active, and when placed in the Moon’s emotional position, it makes Aries Moons experience their emotions through actions. For instance, when an Aries Moon feels angry, they will channel it into action—perhaps by hitting a pillow or even a person. If they’re sad, they might act out destructively, such as drinking or indulging in reckless behavior. Emotions for an Aries Moon are always linked to an action, which makes them prone to acting on their feelings without considering the consequences. This makes an Aries Moon potentially volatile, as they don’t simply sit with their emotions—they act on them, which can be highly dangerous. This is why having the Moon in Aries can be a challenging placement.

Taurus and the Moon are in a harmonious position together because Taurus is ruled by Venus, and the Moon appreciates the beauty that Venus brings. This creates a natural compatibility between the two, with Venus enhancing the Moon’s qualities. Venusian energy is associated with physical beauty, and when Taurus occupies the Moon position, it leads to a focus on how one feels, not just how one looks. For example, a Taurus Sun might primarily focus on appearance, and a Taurus Rising might prioritize external beauty. However, a Taurus Moon values not only looking good but also feeling good. They connect their emotions to their physical image and surroundings. If they feel confident and beautiful, they want to express that through their appearance and environment. Their aesthetic is rooted in how they want to feel. For a Taurus Moon, this means creating a space that is calm, peaceful, and aligned with their sense of well-being.

The Venusian energy enhances this by providing a grounding influence. While Taurus Suns or Risings might focus more on surface-level beauty, the Moon’s influence brings a deeper connection to feeling good on the inside and outside. Taurus Moons are natural nurturers, and the Moon’s nurturing energy amplifies this trait. They are more likely to care for others, offer meaningful gifts, prepare beautiful meals, and provide nurturing in a physical, hands-on way. Whether it’s caring for people, animals, or even plants, Taurus Moons enjoy giving love and attention.

Because Taurus is an Earth sign, practicality is also important. This is why this placement is beneficial—while the Moon and Venus bring emotional depth and beauty, Taurus’s Earth nature ensures that the emotions stay grounded. A Taurus Moon seeks balance, ensuring that their emotions are steady and manageable. While Libra might be known for seeking balance, Taurus Moons crave stability in their emotions. They want to feel loved, appreciated, and calm. When their emotions become intense, Taurus Moons prefer to ground themselves, bringing their emotions back to a peaceful, centered state. This makes the Taurus Moon a particularly stable and nurturing placement for the Moon.

For Gemini Moons, this is not an ideal placement because Gemini is ruled by Mercury, an air sign. First, being ruled by Mercury means that when it comes to their emotions, Gemini Moons prefer to talk about them and think through them. This leads to a certain detachment from their feelings, as they focus more on analyzing and processing their emotions rather than experiencing them directly. They often struggle to understand how they truly feel because they don’t give themselves enough time to simply feel before trying to dissect, analyze, or communicate it.

In an air sign like Gemini, this detachment is further emphasized. Instead of experiencing their emotions from a deep, emotional realm, they approach them from a rational, intellectual perspective. These individuals aren’t as concerned with feeling or understanding why they feel a certain way; instead, they focus on expressing what the emotion is and how it impacts them or others on a rational level. In this placement, the Moon—associated with emotions and the heart—clashes with Mercury’s intellectual and analytical nature. The Moon doesn’t like being in a position where it’s reduced to mere analysis, as it seeks to be felt deeply, not processed or dissected.

Additionally, Gemini is more social and communicative, but not particularly nurturing. When it comes to nurturing, Gemini Moons express it through social interactions—talking, sharing ideas, and engaging in conversation. This is a form of giving, but it’s not the type of nurturing the Moon seeks. The Moon prefers emotional depth and connection, and Gemini’s form of nurturing feels unconventional and may not be perceived as nurturing by others.

While the Moon is introspective, Gemini Moons tend to introspect in a theoretical, logical way, focusing on ideas and intellectual processes rather than diving into the emotional depths. As a result, the Moon feels neglected in this placement, as it is not being seen or honored in its true form. Gemini Moons are more focused on others and on how their emotions might impact people intellectually, but their emotional depth is often overlooked. This creates discomfort for the Moon, making this an uneasy position.

𝒞𝒶𝓃𝒸ℯ𝓇 ℳℴℴ𝓃 🦀

The Cancer Moon is at home in this position because the Moon is conjunct with the Moon, which amplifies and intensifies the Moon’s energy. The Cancer Moon is deeply introspective and processes emotions by truly feeling them. They don’t just acknowledge their emotions—they experience them deeply and try to understand the root of their feelings. They seek emotional depth by reflecting on why they feel the way they do and striving to understand the underlying causes.

Cancer Moons are natural nurturers, and this instinct is only heightened in this placement. They have a strong desire to care for others, tend to things, and make everyone feel comfortable and cozy. With both the Moon and Cancer aligning, their emotions are strongly connected to the heart. They don’t analyze their feelings intellectually; instead, they experience and process them from within, allowing the Moon’s energy to flow freely through them. This enables them to be fully in tune with their emotional nature.

The Moon, being cyclical, runs in phases, and since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, they naturally align with this cycle. They don’t feel disoriented by the Moon’s changing phases; rather, they’ve adapted to this ebb and flow of emotions. Their emotions constantly change, and their mind, body, and heart are accustomed to this fluidity. In this position, the Moon feels at ease and comfortable, allowing Cancer Moons to experience their emotions fully. They feel deeply, and although they may not always enjoy the unpleasant emotions, they appreciate the process of feeling.

This connection to their feelings is what makes Cancer intuitive. By not overthinking their emotions, they are able to tap into their gut instincts and connect to their hearts, which enhances their intuition. Feeling deeply is also part of what makes them empathetic and understanding. Having navigated their own emotional experiences, Cancer Moons have developed a deep compassion and understanding for others, making them sensitive to the emotions of those around them.

Leo in the Moon position is not ideal because Leo is ruled by the Sun, which thrives on shining brightly, bringing radiance, and being extroverted. The Sun loves to be seen, while the Moon is dark, elusive, and introverted. When the Sun’s energy is applied to the Moon, it forces the Moon to take on qualities that are inherently contradictory to its nature. The Moon no longer seeks to remain hidden and introverted; instead, it is compelled to radiate and be visible. This makes the Leo Moon person uncomfortable because the Moon’s natural tendency is to be internal, introspective, and private.

In this position, Leo’s desire for attention, recognition, and validation becomes more pronounced. The Moon, which typically hides emotions, is now shining them into the open. The result is a person who feels vulnerable, yet Leo’s pride resists vulnerability. They are torn between the internal, private nature of the Moon and the outward, attention-seeking energy of Leo. This creates a struggle, as the Leo Moon person is compelled to show their emotions but doesn’t want to be vulnerable or exposed.

This dynamic can create a situation where, during times of intense emotion, the Leo Moon’s feelings become apparent to everyone. They may wear their emotions on their sleeve, but once those emotions fade, they retreat into a more secretive or elusive state, creating an inconsistent and sometimes confusing emotional expression.

Ultimately, Leo Moons experience a dichotomy: they crave recognition, yet their pride keeps them from openly showing their vulnerability. The Moon’s natural tendency to hide and internalize is at odds with Leo’s desire to be seen and acknowledged. This creates an uncomfortable tension for the Leo Moon person, as the Moon wants to dim the Sun’s shine, but Leo’s sun-like energy ensures that their emotions are inevitably exposed.

The Virgo Moon is a better placement for the Moon than the Gemini Moon because, while Gemini is ruled by Mercury and governed by the air element, the air energy takes us too far from what the Moon craves. The Moon seeks emotional depth and connection, but the air element creates a discrepancy with the Moon’s nature. Gemini’s emotional process is more intellectual, cerebral, and detached, leading to a lack of true emotional engagement. In contrast, Virgo shares similarities with Gemini in terms of processing, rationalizing, and analyzing emotions, often leaning into their intellect. However, Virgo is an earth sign, and the earth element provides the Moon with grounding, which Gemini’s air energy cannot.

The earth element offers a stable, absorbing quality that allows the Moon’s emotions to be grounded. Earth is like a sponge that absorbs water, creating a safe and stable space for emotional energy to flow, just like water washing up on sand. This grounding is beneficial for the Moon because it allows emotions to be processed in a more stable, less chaotic way. Therefore, the Virgo Moon is not a terrible position for the Moon.

However, the Virgo Moon struggles with perfectionism and refinement, which can be challenging in the emotional realm. Virgo has a natural desire to improve and perfect, and this trait extends to their emotions. Instead of fully feeling and experiencing their emotions, Virgo strives to purify them and make them “better.” Since emotions are fluid and ever-changing, this can lead to frustration. A Virgo Moon might try to move from a sad emotional state to a happy one without truly dealing with the sadness, attempting to refine their feelings to reach a more “acceptable” emotional state.

For example, a Virgo Moon might feel sad but won’t want to experience that sadness. They will try to shift themselves into a more positive emotion, such as happiness, without fully processing the sadness. In doing so, Virgo may engage in activities like shopping, socializing, or working on a project, all in an effort to “fix” their emotional state. However, this avoidance means they don’t truly engage with their feelings. Instead, they try to move from one emotional state to another, leaving little room for introspection or genuine emotional expression.

This desire for emotional refinement can also impact their interactions with others. When someone around a Virgo Moon is sad, the Virgo might try to “fix” the situation by offering solutions or suggesting ways to be happy, rather than simply sitting with the person’s emotions. This can come across as lacking empathy or compassion, as they are more focused on changing the emotional state than truly understanding or supporting the person.

While this grounding and attempt to stabilize emotions are helpful compared to the Gemini Moon’s purely intellectual approach, the Virgo Moon’s tendency to overanalyze and attempt to perfect emotions makes this placement less ideal for the Moon. Still, it is a better placement than the Gemini Moon, where emotional engagement is often too detached and cerebral. At least the Virgo Moon is trying to ground and process emotions, even if it struggles with perfectionism and emotional avoidance.

ℒ𝒾𝒷𝓇𝒶 ℳℴℴ𝓃 ⚖️

The Libra Moon is not a terrible position for the Moon; it has both good qualities and some discrepancies, much like the Virgo Moon. Libra is ruled by Venus, and Venus is attracted to the Moon because they share an affinity for what the other offers. Venus enjoys the essence of the Moon, and the Moon enjoys the essence of Venus. Both bring beauty to the table, but they express it in different ways. Venus is more external, while the Moon is internal, creating a dynamic where they complement each other, but not always in harmony.

Libra, however, is an air sign, and air energy does not naturally align with the Moon’s qualities. Air is about facts, concrete knowledge, analysis, socialization, and communication. The Moon, on the other hand, is an internal, emotional planet, not focused on socializing. The combination of Libra’s air energy with the Moon’s internal nature creates a bit of a disconnect. While Libra desires connection, communication, and social engagement, the Moon encourages introspection, making it harder for Libra to express these desires outwardly.

People with a Libra Moon have a deep yearning for human connection—they want nothing more than to be around people, relate to others, and form bonds. However, this desire remains internalized. They feel the need for connection, but they don’t always express it, which can lead to a sense of longing for closeness without fully understanding how to achieve it. This emotional need is intensified by the Venusian influence, as Libra Moons are naturally inclined to love and connect with others.

The challenge for a Libra Moon is that, while they crave connection, they often lose touch with their own emotions in the process. They can become so focused on the need for connection that they lose their own emotional perspective. This desire for connection can lead to people-pleasing tendencies. If a Libra Moon cannot find the relationships they desire, they may resort to people-pleasing just to form connections, as their emotional world revolves around these connections.

Libra Moons also struggle with being alone. They find it difficult to exist without others, and being alone can feel uncomfortable. One of the complexities of the Libra Moon is that, being an air sign, they do not naturally express their emotions in a genuine, heartfelt way. Instead, they tend to rationalize their feelings, often explaining their emotions with logic and reason. This can give the impression that they are not being truthful about their emotions, especially to water signs, who are more in tune with their emotional depths. A Libra Moon might seem like they’re lying, but in reality, they’re simply processing their emotions intellectually. They may present a rational explanation for why they feel a certain way, even though this reasoning doesn’t necessarily reflect the true emotional experience beneath the surface.

While this is not a bad placement, it can be challenging for people who think that constantly seeking connection is a negative trait. The Libra Moon’s emotional world centers around finding connection, but the rationalization of their feelings can create a disconnection with their true emotional nature. It may not be the best placement for the Moon, but it is certainly not the worst.

𝒮𝒸ℴ𝓇𝓅𝒾ℴ ℳℴℴ𝓃 🦂

A Scorpio Moon is a very afflicted placement for the Moon, and many people don’t understand why. They often think that since the Moon represents emotions and Scorpio is a water sign—associated with emotions—it should be a perfect match. However, this is not the case, and we’re going to explore why.

First, Scorpio is ruled by two planets: Mars and Pluto. As we discussed with the Aries Moon earlier, Mars energy is active and impulsive, often driving individuals to act on their emotions rather than process them. The Moon, however, prefers to process emotions and reflect on them. The Martian energy is not compatible with the Moon’s more introspective nature, and this is the same issue with the Scorpio Moon. While Scorpio is ruled by Mars, it also has Pluto as a co-ruler, which adds another layer of complexity.

Mars energy makes the Scorpio Moon impulsive with their emotions. They tend to act on their feelings without taking time to process them, just as Aries does. However, the difference with Scorpio is that Pluto’s energy transforms this emotional impulsiveness. Pluto brings darkness and depth to the Scorpio Moon’s emotions. It is a heavy, intense, and transformative energy that deals with trauma, pain, and regeneration.

So why doesn’t the Moon thrive in this position? The Moon is introspective and emotional, but it is not equipped to handle the extreme depths of Pluto’s energy. While Scorpio’s introspection aligns with the Moon’s need for self-reflection, Pluto requires individuals to dive into the darkest, rawest parts of themselves, accessing emotions from a place of deep trauma. The Moon deals with our everyday, cyclical emotions, but Pluto takes Scorpio Moons to a far more intense and profound emotional depth. This makes their emotions incredibly intense and difficult for the Moon to process, as they are not accustomed to such deep, heavy feelings.

The Scorpio Moon feels emotions so deeply that the Moon struggles to understand how to deal with them. The emotional intensity is extreme, and emotions linger for long periods due to Pluto’s influence. This slow, transformative process stands in contrast to the Moon’s tendency to move more quickly through emotions. Pluto’s slow-moving energy means that Scorpio Moons feel their emotions for a long time, transforming them at their core. This creates an imbalance because the Moon, which seeks comfort and security, is at odds with Scorpio’s desire for change and transformation. The Moon seeks familiarity and coziness, while Scorpio seeks the opposite—radical transformation. The Moon doesn’t feel comfortable with Pluto’s need to change and disrupt, and Scorpio is not naturally inclined to nurture emotions in a comforting way.

Furthermore, Scorpio is not inherently a nurturing sign. While it knows how to be intimate, sexual, and aggressive, it doesn’t excel at nurturing in the way the Moon typically desires. Scorpio’s energy is more about intimacy and deep connection rather than the comfort and care that the Moon craves. For Scorpio Moons, nurturing often comes through sexual intimacy or deep emotional connections, but not in the traditional sense of nurturing.

In summary, the Scorpio Moon is an extremely intense and difficult placement. It deals with deep, dark emotions that the Moon is not accustomed to handling. The Moon’s desire for comfort and stability is at odds with Scorpio’s transformative, uncomfortable energy. This placement often indicates that the individual has experienced deep trauma or pain in their life—something that has left a lasting impact. It is one of the most challenging placements for the Moon, as the emotional depths and intensity are difficult to manage, and there is little room for the Moon’s usual processing and reflection.

𝒮𝒶𝑔𝒾𝓉𝓉𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓊𝓈 ℳℴℴ𝓃 🏹

The Sagittarius Moon is generally considered to be in a good position, though it does have its caveats. This placement benefits from the combination of the Moon and Jupiter, which together create a person who is typically upbeat, light-hearted, and enjoys having fun. Jupiter’s energy brings abundance to emotions, amplifying whatever the Sagittarius Moon feels. This means that when a Sagittarius Moon feels happy, they feel truly joyous and excited, and their optimism is contagious. Jupiter’s influence instills an overall sense of hope, making them confident that they can overcome challenges, even when they feel down.

However, there are drawbacks to this placement as well. While Jupiter’s energy is expansive, the Moon seeks comfort and security. This creates a conflict because the Sagittarius Moon craves emotional comfort but also has a strong desire to expand and move forward. The Moon’s energy doesn’t always align with Sagittarius’ need for constant growth and exploration, leading to a tension between wanting emotional stability and the urge to push forward. As a result, Sagittarius Moons often find it difficult to fully process their emotions, as their desire to keep moving forward can cause them to detach from their feelings.

This detachment means that Sagittarius Moons often prioritize their beliefs over their emotions. The Moon calls for emotional reflection, while Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, focuses on beliefs and the expansion of knowledge. As a result, the Sagittarius Moon may become more absorbed in their beliefs, sometimes to the point of being inflexible. This can create challenges, as their emotions may conflict with their beliefs, causing them to suppress or discard their feelings. Similarly, if someone else’s emotions challenge their beliefs, the Sagittarius Moon may distance themselves from that person in order to maintain their sense of forward momentum and optimism.

Despite these challenges, the Sagittarius Moon can be a very positive placement in certain respects. When they are happy, their energy is contagious, and others are often drawn to their enthusiasm. However, the expansive nature of Jupiter means that when a Sagittarius Moon is sad or angry, those emotions are also amplified, and their intensity can affect those around them. In summary, while the Sagittarius Moon brings an abundance of optimism and confidence, it also requires a balancing act between emotional detachment and the need for emotional growth.

𝒞𝒶𝓅𝓇𝒾𝒸ℴ𝓇𝓃 ℳℴℴ𝓃 🐐

The Capricorn Moon is considered a challenging position for the Moon because Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. Saturn’s energy is inherently heavy, but it differs from the intensity of Pluto’s energy. While Pluto seeks to delve into the depths of things to transform them, Saturn focuses on long-term goals, requiring persistence through obstacles to achieve success. This creates a tension with the Moon, which is centered on emotions, comfort, and nurturing. Saturn, by contrast, is not concerned with emotions but with structure, discipline, and responsibility.

In this position, Capricorn Moons often feel like their emotions are another task or duty they must manage. They approach their emotions with a sense of responsibility or work, rather than simply feeling and processing them naturally. This makes it difficult for them to connect with their emotional needs because they feel a constant pressure to focus on achievement, future goals, and meeting expectations. This drive to “do” rather than “feel” can leave them struggling with a sense of inadequacy, as Saturn’s heavy energy creates a burden of responsibility and the belief that they must constantly prove themselves or succeed in life.

Saturn’s influence dampens the Moon’s natural emotional expression, making the emotions more serious, rigid, and subdued. While the Moon doesn’t inherently dislike seriousness, Saturn’s rigid nature often leads to emotional repression. Capricorn Moons tend to suppress their feelings over long periods, focusing instead on long-term objectives. However, because the Moon is deeply emotional and cyclical, this suppression can build up over time, leading to emotional triggers that release those pent-up feelings in intense ways.

Another challenge is the fundamental difference in pacing. The Moon is fast-moving and cyclical, while Saturn is slow and deliberate. Capricorn Moons often struggle to process emotions quickly, preferring to move through them slowly, which can make them feel disconnected from the present. This slowness, combined with Saturn’s heaviness, can create a sense of emotional darkness or neglect. The Moon finds Saturn’s harsh and rigid energy uncomfortable, as it conflicts with the Moon’s need for comfort and fluidity.

Overall, the Capricorn Moon carries a sense of emotional duty, often prioritizing long-term goals and external expectations over immediate emotional needs. While this placement can create disciplined and resilient individuals, it also requires conscious effort to address and process emotions in a healthy and present way.

Aquarius moons, like Capricorn moons, share Saturn as a ruler. This gives Aquarius moons a certain similarity to Capricorn moons, particularly in their serious approach to emotions, focus on accomplishments, and drive toward achievement and upholding societal norms. However, Aquarius also has Uranus as its co-ruler. This dual rulership creates a unique dynamic: while Saturn represents structure, discipline, and tradition, Uranus introduces a rebellious, future-focused energy that shakes things up.

The moon, by its nature, is tied to the past and thrives on comfort, emotional security, and absorption. In contrast, Uranus is abrupt, chaotic, and forward-looking, creating a natural tension. Uranus dislikes the moon’s focus on the past, while the moon resists Uranus’s erratic and disruptive energy. The moon also leans toward emotional depth and nurturing, whereas Uranus prioritizes intellect, innovation, and progression, often disregarding emotional needs.

For Aquarius moons, this means detachment becomes a necessity. To stay aligned with their cerebral, air-driven qualities, they often distance themselves from the emotional core of situations. Uranus thrives on change—abrupt, unexpected change that is not like Pluto’s deep, transformative cycles. Uranian change is sudden and driven by a need for novelty and forward movement. Anytime Saturn’s steady and traditional energy feels too dominant, Uranus intervenes, creating abrupt pivots to maintain newness and progress.

This is where the moon struggles. The moon craves cycles, predictability, and nurturing energy. Uranus, however, rejects cycles in favor of unpredictability and progression. For Aquarius moons, emotions can feel like a burden, something that slows them down. They often detach from emotional matters to focus on innovation, the bigger picture, and collective ideals.

While the moon moves quickly through predictable phases, Uranus is erratic and wild, disrupting the moon’s natural rhythm. Aquarius moons, therefore, feel pulled between these conflicting energies. They may neglect or suppress their emotions to prioritize intellect and future-oriented goals. Their focus is on propelling society forward, often at the expense of personal emotional connection and intimate nurturing.

This is why the moon is uncomfortable in Aquarius. It’s not the worst placement, but it’s far from ideal. The moon prefers the warmth and emotional depth of water or the stability and grounding of earth. Air signs, especially Aquarius with its erratic Uranian influence, can feel too detached and cerebral for the moon’s natural tendencies.

In summary, Aquarius moons prioritize intellect, innovation, and the future. They often struggle to connect emotionally and tend to suppress their feelings to avoid being weighed down. This makes them focused on societal progression and big ideals, but it also creates tension with the moon’s inherent need for emotional connection, security, and nurturing cycles.

𝒫𝒾𝓈𝒸ℯ𝓈 ℳℴℴ𝓃 🐠

The Pisces moon tends to thrive in this position because Pisces is a water sign, naturally connected to emotions, just as the moon is. Both energies resonate with intuition, sensitivity, and emotional depth. However, there’s a tricky dynamic with Pisces due to its co-rulers, Neptune and Jupiter.

Neptune and the moon can work harmoniously, but this combination can also distort reality. The Neptunian influence in Pisces can amplify traits like imagination and emotional depth, but it can also exasperate a lack of grounding, practicality, or realism. This placement may cause individuals to become lost in their imagination or emotions, creating a stark contrast with reality.

Neptune governs illusions, dreams, and the unseen, which aligns with the moon’s internal and intuitive nature. The moon feels at ease with this energy, as it also operates in the realm of the inner world. However, the moon craves comfort and emotional security, whereas Pisces, influenced by Jupiter, seeks freedom, exploration, and expansion. Jupiter’s energy pushes the Pisces moon beyond the moon’s preferred comfort zone, while Neptune pulls it further into imagination and transcendence.

The result is a delicate balancing act. On the one hand, the Neptunian influence fuels creativity, intuition, and emotional expression. On the other hand, it can lead to escapism, elusiveness, and a detachment from reality. Pisces moons often internalize their emotions through imagination, creating a feedback loop where their feelings and fantasies feed into each other, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

Jupiter’s expansive nature further complicates this. It craves abundance, freedom, and boundlessness, which can conflict with the moon’s need for security and routine. Additionally, Neptune’s tendency to filter experiences through rose-colored glasses can create deception or delusion. The moon, lacking discernment beyond intuition, internalizes these imagined realities, making delusions feel emotionally real and deeply believed.

Without grounding influences, such as earth energy in the chart, a Pisces moon can become entirely unmoored, caught in its imagination and fantasies with little connection to the real world. This lack of grounding can make it difficult for them to establish boundaries or take responsibility, leading to chaos and emotional overwhelm.

While the Pisces moon is not a bad placement, it can become problematic when overly influenced by Neptune’s boundless, dreamy energy and Jupiter’s expansive, freedom-seeking tendencies. The combination may result in emotional chaos, lack of direction, and detachment from reality.

In essence, the Pisces moon thrives in the emotional and intuitive realm, but its challenge lies in integrating this rich internal world with external reality. Without balance, it risks becoming too free-spirited, too unbounded, and too focused on the imaginary, losing touch with the grounded, practical elements of life.

Hey God, it's me again /ref

Could I mayhaps request platonic? :3

If so, could I get Heartslabyul with a half-fae reader who is on the same level of temper as Riddle. They get angry easily and will lash out but for them, lashing out means physical meaning if they get provoked long enough they will attack the person. They work kind of like an animal (hence the half-fae thing) and they can get pretty violent.

PLATONIC! HEARTSLABYUL X READER

Where you are an aggressive half-fae

How would the Heartlabyul boys react if you were a half-fae who couldn't control their aggressive impulses?

I TRIED TO MAKE IT AS PLATONIC AS POSSIBLE, SORRY IF I DID NOT SUCCEED, THERE IS NOTHING IMPLICITLY "ROMANTIC" BUT IT CAN BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH. AHH I DON'T KNOW, I HOPE YOU LIKE 😭😭😭

At first, Deuce was incredibly confused by you. He wanted to see you as a magical creature worthy of respect, but then he saw it with his own eyes: you lunged at a student who splashed ink on your uniform, grabbed him by the collar, and shoved him against a table.

Deuce froze… “Was that a combat technique or an animal instinct?”

Instead of walking away, he took it as a lesson. “If I want to control my temper, I need to understand someone worse than me.”

So he began to follow you around like a loyal puppy.

Occasionally, he steps in when you're about to explode, though he doesn't always succeed.

You've accidentally hit him more than once.

But he doesn't complain. He just says, “I deserved it for not seeing your claw coming.”

He's become adept at calming you down with swift actions: he brings you cold water, drags you (literally) out of the conflict, and has even practiced restraining spells in case you ever need to be restrained.

Not to use them against you maliciously, but as a last resort. He does it with the same seriousness as a law enforcement officer.

You admire him for his sense of justice. And he admires you for your courage, even if that courage sometimes crosses over into aggression.

When someone speaks ill of you, Deuce jumps in to defend you with his fists if necessary. “Don't provoke them! You're not the one who has to bear their burden!”

Sometimes, you train together to release tension. Deuce lets himself be hit while you use your claws/fae-strength. “Come on, let it all out. Don't hold anything back. But remember, I'm on your side.”

Cater started seeing you as Magicam content. “Half-fae! Violent gothic aesthetic! I'm obsessed!”

Until he saw how you transformed into a beast when you were emotionally cornered.

Instead of running away, he pulled out his phone, not to record you.

Instead, he played you some relaxing music.

He learned your mood swings like the phases of the moon. He has a calendar where he notes which days you're most irritable, and he either avoids you on those days… or talk you more.

“Today is Fae emotional self-care day. I have ice cream, ambient music, lots of blankets, and I swear if anyone bothers you, I'll bite them first.”

Cater is your grounding wire in social situations. If there's a party and you're about to lose your temper because someone brushed against you too hard, he'll put his arm around you and say,

"Easy, sweet chaos, let's get some air. We don't need to cause a Greek tragedy in the ballroom… again.”

He likes to play on your animal instincts, but in a playful way. He brings you things with textures you might like (soft fur, feathers, shiny stones), and he loves it when you get territorial with him. “Aww, you're standing up for me~! I'm flattered.”

If you ever blow up in front of him, he doesn't back away. He just tells you gently,

“I know it's not personal. You're not mad at me. You're just scared, and your heart is too wild to keep quiet. I can handle it, okay?”

Trey was the only one who wasn't startled from the start. He saw you explode and attack and simply nodded.

“Well, this is going to take a lot of patience… and maybe more dessert than usual.”

He started making you soothing sweets with fae-specific ingredients: nightbloom petals, moon honey, magical citrus zest. He says your rage needs balance, not suppression. And that sweetness combats the bitterness of the heart.

Trey has a talent for reading your body language. He knows when you're about to bite, kick, or cast fae magic.

If your ears perk up, your pupils change, or your breathing quickens… he already has a tray of pastries ready.

“A croissant for every threat of violence you're suppressing.”

He also teaches you how to channel that fury into useful things.

When you cook together, he lets you pound ingredients, grate things, or use your strength to carry heavy things. “Nothing like taking your anger out on bread dough, right?”

He's the only one who doesn't ask you to change. He just asks you to learn when it's worth it to explode. And if you decide it's worth it… he'll be by your side.

Probably with bandages, just in case.

The first confrontation between you was legendary 💀

Shouts, magic, even a threat of a formal duel.

But deep down, you understood each other.

You're both made of fire held in check by rules. The difference is that you're a free creature with physical courage, while Riddle is ruled by logic.

From then on, you've become strangely close. Not hugging and laughing friends, but allies of fierce respect. "If you rule chaos with force, I'll rule it with rules. And together, we'll keep it at bay."

Riddle is one of the few who can speak to you directly without you attacking him.

"You're letting your rage get the better of you. Do you want me to banish you from Hearstlabyul, or do you want me to have tea with you to calm you down?"

Sometimes, when you're about to explode, Riddle takes you to tea room. He doesn't say anything. He just pours the tea, leaves biscuits, and waits for you to sip and calm yourself like a resting dragon.

It works more often than you'd expect.

He calls you “a force of nature” in awe. He says your existence challenges his order… but he also teaches you that order requires passion lest it become tyranny.

He's even adapted some of Heartslabyul's rules to be more tolerant of your… fae nature.

Ace… oh, Ace.

The first time he saw you angry, he laughed. “Is that all you got? Come on, you're not even scary.”

You bit your tongue to keep from ripping off his ear.

It took him a long time to understand that your aggression isn't a game. After seeing you nearly shred a student with your nails for mocking your fae origins, he started to take you a little more seriously.

Still, he likes to provoke you… but he does it in a controlled way. “If you're going to hit me, do it to the left hand; my right hand is already hurt.”

Not because he wants to get hurt, but because he trusts you won't go that far with him.

Sometimes, when you're really upset, he taunts you just to redirect your anger toward him and not someone who could end up worse. It's not that he doesn't care about the blows… it's that he cares about you more.

He challenges you, he pushes you,“If you're so wild, prove it by beating me in a duel. Not in the hallway.”

And you… you hate to admit it, but his nonsense often distracts you just enough to keep from exploding.

Ace became your point of balance on the most chaotic path. He doesn't ask you to change, but he does ask you to give him time. Because even though you're half beast… he doesn't plan on running away.

Hiii! I asked this question on the ‘Osana’ Reddit and you said you had more, SOOOO: What are all of your headcanons for the Male Rivals?? General Headcanons pretty pretty please :3

Haiii! Good to see you on here ^w^ & ofc!

(Also ignore the fact half of them don't get fun pictures or a gif I'm posting from the app lol xD)

General Male Rivals Head cannons!

Osano Najime

He is stupidly good at playground games (like rock paper scissors, go fish, etc) to the point where nobody wanted to play with him as a kid because they knew he'd win.

Favorite Pixar movie is inside out.

He actually is really good friends with Hanako. They both spend a ridiculous amount of money on blind bags together. And whenever Osano goes to the store he keeps an eye out for ones Hanako would like.

And Hanako has made him a friendship bracelet, which Osano being the tsundere he is, promptly pretended to hate it but still wears it as an anklet to this day.

Has helped organize fund raisers for local animal shelters and veterinary emergency rooms.

I feel like he has contact lenses and wore glasses in middle school. Whenever he's doing his judgemental stare his friends if he's put his contacts in that day.

He gets really into decorating and customizing his phone, like changes his whole layout, stick, phone charms, pop socket, app overlays, wallpaper, depending on what season it is.

Reads shojo manga but pretends to hate it.

^ his favorite is fruits basket

Amao Odayaka

One time he was at his great grandma's house making sourdough bread, and he accidentally slammed it on the old wooden counter so hard that he made a hole which the dough fell through to the cabinet shelf below. So not only did he break a counter he also had to scrap the whole batch. That memory haunts him and keeps him up at night.

Impulsively buys every apron he sees. He has a whole section of his closet purely dedicated to aprons.

Favorite movie is ratatouille, naturally.

He is uh, a little dense when it comes to social cues. He's nice don't get me wrong, just he isn't very good at getting sarcasm.

His favorite deserts to make are macarons and pound cake.

He has a love-hate relationship with the Gordon Ramsay show 'Hell's Kitchen' because he gets ridiculously mad at the condition the kitchens are always in. But he loves seeing the before and afters.

He runs the cooking club like a pirate ship tbh, he usually has to break up fights between the members. Except for Saki because she minds her own beeswax.

Kizano Sunobu

He has played many, many, roles in theater such as: The Wicked Stepmother From Cinderella, The Phantom of the opera, The Rat King, King George the third in Hamilton, and many more.

He can sing quite well, and took gymnastics lessons as a child so he could very much be considered a quadruple threat. (Singing, Acting, Dancing, and Acrobatics.)

Went to a preforming arts high school, but due to his family moving he had to transfer to Akademi.

His favorite animated movies are Leap! And Anastasia. Although he does have a love for old Disney aesthetics.

He has quite sensitive skin, being allergic to glycerin, so he has to be very particular about what products he buys.

Kizano plans on becoming a Broadway actor once he graduates, and because of that he is fluent in both Japanese and english, and is working on learning Spanish.

He really appreciates the club members who are stage hands, always making sure to thank them after every show.

While he is cocky, egotistical, and down right self centered at times, he does truly appreciate his club members.

He has some, interesting opinions on the other club leaders...

He likes and appreciates Amao, mainly because they both have an unyielding passion for their respective fields.

He hates and despises Asuo, because he finds him too relaxed and annoyingly positive.

He in fact does not know Oko exists.

Oko Ruto

Is very good at sewing due in part to the fact he likes to replace the button hole embroidery on his white shirts to a beige tone and the buttons to match his eyes, making it look like his buttons are eyeballs. Also because sewing comes in handy for occult/supernatural shenanigans.

Likes to visit graveyards to see if there's any intriguing tomb stones. Like funny last words, statues of the dead, intriguing ways a person died, ect.

^ he is very respectful though, only really approaching graves that are particularly old.

The occult club does more than just stalking students and summoning demons. they also practice ways to tell the future, speak to ghosts, birth chart and palm readings, and alien investigation night. (Held every other Tuesday.)

He watches BuzzFeed unsolved supernatural. Because weirdly enough true crime gives him the creeps but not ghosts and ghouls.

His favorite animated movies are, Spirited Away, Alice in wonderland, and Paranorman.

His father was a paranormal investigator, but has major Dale Gribble vibes so safe to say he runs an occult goods shop with tarot cards, oujia boards, future reading tea and eggs, and more now after being 'encouraged to retire'.

His mother is a practicing psychic who was actually brought in to help solve the murders at Akademi. She now runs an in store future reading service. Personality wise she's very much so like Jessica Rabbit, sweet charming, and a showman at heart.

Asuo Rito

This man seems like a golden retriever and he is, but sweet Lord does he not actually process his emotions. Everytime he gets upset over something he just throws himself further into training regiments.

Has like seven dogs currently and overall in his life he's had twenty.

Enjoys all sports but knows he should be focusing on just one, but he just can't pick. He enjoys track and field best, but that could just because that's what he wins the most medals for....

Took one martial arts lesson when he was ten and Budo accidentally broke his nose. Swore off martials arts ever since.

Speaking of which, childhood friends with Budo, although at first they didn't like each other because they were on opposing soccer teams.

He in fact does not know Kizano has one sided beef with him. He thinks of all the club leaders as his friends, except Kaga, he finds him creepy.

Favorite animated movie is the Incredibles.

Man is his and his teams own cheerleader, doing full on chants and cartwheels at swim meets.

^ has accidentally cartwheeled into the pool, DURING A RACE.

Mujo Kano

This man would make a better mortician than a nurse! He always gets hung up on fixing patients hair rather than filling out important paperwork.

Studying to be a pediatrician, specifically specializing in infants.

Has an unhealthy build a bear problem. He builds a bear every week and they have invaded his couch, bed, and shelves.

He is a walking disaster. Someone save him.

Osoro Shidesu

Chain smoker, no further elaboration.

He's weirdly stoic, like definitely not a party person, despite being a delinquent hooligan he reminds sorta like an old timey knight.

Rbf to the max, man came into this world with a scowl. There's not a single picture of him in his childhood where he doesn't look like a hell spawn.

Good at cooking in the same way a shady Denny's chef is good at cooking. Like cigarette in hand, cussing under his breath, while making the best funfeitti pancakes known to man.

It brings joy to his grinchy little soul to see a slug bug. Like in ironically giggles when he sees one.

Also thinks clowns are hilarious. In another life he'd be a shady circus owner.

He either has the cutest softest smile known to man, or the creepiest smirk ever.

Favorite animated movie, Up and lady and the tramp.

At his core he does believe in fairness. If a guy is harassing a waitress he won't hesitate to take him outside iykyk.

Hanako Yamada

Has gotten his arm stuck in an arcade machine after trying to just grab the plushie he wanted. The fire station was called and had to help get him out.

Wears keychains on his belt loops of his favorite characters like Keroppi, Hello Kitty and Mimi, and Happy from fairy tail.

Is actually not that social around those he doesn't know, personally I like to think he has some form of social anxiety which prevents from getting close to many people.

The reason why he dresses so cutely is that he figured that even if people stared at him, at least he'd know why rather than just being clueless.

Favorite animated movie is the toy story saga which he cries to every time he rewatches.

Really enjoys playing matchmaker with people he knows, for example in middle school he introduced his aunt to his homeroom teacher, leading for them to get married three years later.

Loves playing animal Crossing (and spending a ridiculous amount on leaf tickets in pocket camp)

Has an absurd amount of plushies, except he does know how to stack them properly to make it seem like he only has a few.

Is studying to be an architect or interior designer, he hasn't quite decided yet but he hopes to someday make homes that'll reflect his clients essence.

Has two pet hamsters, Hamtaro and Hamantha.

Megamo Saikou

Denser than cement when it comes to how much things cost. Not like business expenses because he's been trained for that, but he does think a loaf of bread costs twenty bucks.

Was a premature baby and had a heart problem causing him to be rushed into surgery nearly immediately after being born.

Would be studying to be a brain surgeon if he wasn't set in stone to inherit the company.

Actually rather appreciates the arts, such as art galleries and musical theater.

Favorite animated movie is sleeping beauty.

Likes to people watch, he finds it amusing to see how others live.

Is a horrible cook, like cannot make box Mac n cheese.

also re: these tags on that post.. Miyazaki's aesthetic fondness for pastoral fantasies and the existence of his angst towards industrial civilization do not constitute a principled critique of industry any more than his meticulously animated machinery constitute its defense. I'd say his primary problem as a creator when you take his career on the whole is that he's driven primarily by aesthetics and the emotional response they invoke in him, with his attempts to synthesize themes that resolve or at least explore his opposed aesthetic impulses being irrigorous and half-baked. What otherwise might be uncomplicated environmentalist, anti-war, or anti-fascist films are inevitably gunked up by his terrible attempts to justify his fondness for 19th/20th century machinery. It's why I say the issue is a lack of rigorous critique.

Hey do you want to make a post going more in-depth about the similarities/differences between the Grand Inquisitor's and Barriss's Inquisifits and what can be extrapolated from that thematically (you know you do) (this is bait)

well :) if you INSIST

let's start off by briefly establishing the relationship between these two (or more appropriately one lack thereof): the grand inquisitor is implied, and confirmed by word-of-god, to be one of the temple guards present during the temple bombing trial, an event which aided in his descent to the dark side. barriss's speech spoke to doubts he already harbored about the order, and her own criticisms of the order confirmed a very particular bias of his about the jedi, one antithetical to the intention of barriss's speech which spoke to a collective disregard for the tenants of jedi order, namely that "fighting for dark-side" had warped the core of their belief system. we've been shown that every one of the grand inquisitor's choices has been made in selfishness, not selflessness. his many resentments and grievances are rooted in personal dissatisfaction and inadequacy with himself, that the jedi order did not balm his hurt is what led to his ultimate repudiation of it. barriss's resentments and grievances are rooted in a deep love for the jedi order that raised, loved, and respected her. they both felt betrayed by the order's misrepresentation of itself, but the grand inquisitor wrongly attributed barriss's feelings of betrayal to his.

now with that groundwork laid, let's talk about the threads! working top-down: the moment barriss defeats dante, her inquisitor helmet is presented to her. it was forged for her before she landed the killing blow. she had no say in its creation. the grand inquisitor is this coven's proud leader; he is responsible for his flock and fortress, and he chose this for her.

a replica, a replicated lapse in self-indulgence, a moment in time where barriss lets her darker impulses, her anger and her hatred, have their say. its design is slightly adjusted to better fit barriss and the inquisitorius' aesthetic, and in there is the implication she is wanted by this empire, she is an asset to this same regime she warned the republic of. we know she regrets the acts of violence she committed under duress as evidenced by both the remorseful expression she shoots ahsoka and by this deleted scene where she explicitly apologizes to her. but the grand inquisitor does not want her moving past this moment. it's a deep well of emotional turmoil that the dark side is eager to drink from. he wants her stewing in it, and 'it' taking the shape of a mode of sensory deprivation is a very happy coincidence! the dark side is at once a state of stasis and parasitism; it successfully feeds off of isolation and hyperfixation, oftentimes from a particularly traumatic event. barriss is forced to become the face of the darkest, most regrettable moment in her life, one where she becomes the betrayer. it reopens wounds which remind her she can operate as both aggressor and aggrieved. it strips her of a voice, modifies her speech, while also working as effective blinkers (blinders/tacks like those used on animals to limit their discernment). the former perpetually-masked temple guard is well acquainted with this hell and assuming the role of traitor! we'll get into his projection in a moment.

after barriss is given her 'gift', we hard cut to her now in full regalia. it's very in medias res; she seems to be in conversation with the grand inquisitor before the rest of the inquisitorius' fledgling brothers and sisters enter the scene. whatever might have been said is left up to our imagination, but judging by both of their expressions, i imagine it was a threat veiled in niceties, much like her 'gift'.

to understand how the grand inquisitor implements fashion mirroring (projection by any other name!) here, you should first have a keen familiarity with the visual language of the inquisitorius' aesthetic sensibilities so to properly pick apart what differentiates barriss's uniform from the rest of the herd's. unifying elements of inquisitors' uniforms are the use of black, grays, and reds, as well as a liberal application of plate-adjacent armour, and some ribbing which likely allows for better mobility.

here we have mommy dearest doing his capital best to suit up his mini-she. most notable are the silhouette's pauldrons and the piece of armour that is something between chest plate and gorget (his gorget has been readapted to be more pronounced/realistic since its inception in rebels and appearance in owk). minor details like the boots and imitation vambraces are also of note, but what i prefer to focus on is the how and why. there is a deliberate likeness, but it's as if hers had its edges sanded down. making her appear less threatening invites predation. it's not enough that she has proven herself capable of murdering her competition, she must remain in a state of hypervigilance around her brothers and sisters. this parasite has a varied palate! fear is a nice little amouse-bouche to rage. the grand inquisitor wants her skills in the dark-side ever-honed and improved upon if she's to be a testament to not just his teachings, but him. see, barriss does not exist to him as a person. since the trial, she has existed conceptually and amorphously to him as an extension of himself and his own issues with the order, but they do not share the same sentiments regarding the order's issues. their dynamic, in truth, more closely resembles that of a narcissistic parent and their child. the child apprentice exists simultaneously to placate his wounded ego, and to fill a void left by (self-imposed) loneliness. i find it a very appropriate representation of this brand of narcissism, to have their authentic relationship be expressed through the medium of costume; it's external, but rarely superficial, it's an assignment, and it's imposed, but unveils so much about both characters' true natures.

Ok ok ok your "Humans of Transformers franchise are space orcs" rant is out of this world.

I detest with passion when humans are reduced to pets and plot devices when instead the story could be about two alien species finding one another equally amazing/terrifying for their own respective reasons.

Here is my question: do humans and Cybertronians see how eerily similar they are? They have love of music, familial relationships, similar urban infrastructure, societal structure, financial systems, competitive entertainment, organized societies and war, colonialism, recreational intercourse, marriage...

Not to mention, why was it never addressed how similar both species look: bipedal, waists, noses, cheekbones, 5 fingers, chins, facial expressions and sense of aesthetics and beauty? Sure, humans have hair but in rather strategic places.

Veins and wires, blood and energon, metal and flesh, nanobytes and blood cells, Sparks and brain impulses, sexual organs...

Imagine Autobots arrive on Earth for the first time expecting some primitive cave-dwellers, only to encounter a less advanced mini-version of Cybertronian cities (New York, Singapore, London, Rome, Tokyo, Rio, Dubai...) and societies running on scientific, artistic and philosophical development which has no right existing on the ruthless, all-organic planet such as Earth is. Societes run by creatures who 4.000.000 (the duration of their war) years ago were hanging from the trees btw.

Autobots would be terrified.

Lemme make sure this response saves this time, cause it took me a minute to answer cause my first deleted and I had so much written I got unbelievably angry and refused to even look at the tumblr app.

But here we are.

So, this is EXACTLY what I have been thinking about for who k owe how long. It’s also the intro to this wack as fuck universe idea I’ve had in my head a while, and have kinda hinted at in my other works, but I’ve never gone into detail about.

And I still won’t.

Anyways, yes. It’s crazy that we backlit humans so much when any other sentient species is about. Transformers, TMNT, etc (I’m on a one track mind, feel free to jot down any other fandoms I can’t think of). The main theme of these stories? HUMANS SUCK. And that is severely unfair. People want to cry about how much our generation doesn’t give a shit anymore. Have you SEEN the media we feed kids???

That’s why I live Humans are Space Orcs so much. It really puts into perspective how unique and batshit our species is.

So, onto the Transformers vs humans concepts. The ONLY reason (forgoing technoism and general hate towards organics) cybertronians don’t see humanity as an imminent threat, or one in general, is because of size. WE BE SMALL AF. Can’t blame them, I get it. We do the same. Insects? Fuck them mfs.

But have you seen a botfly or tick burrow into your skin? The infection that comes form that? Have you seen ants jump a small animal as a colony and absolutely shred it? Or a spider only biting you, and the horror the venom causes (recluses and huntsman’s specifically). We have a good fucking reason for disliking these mfs.

But transformers? These are organic experiences. Worst they go through are rust infections, spark death, the works. They are not at risk the same way we are. That is why they view organics as small and inconsequential. They have no idea how hard we fight to simply stay alive.

And now the similarities. It’s understandable that they wouldn’t immediately recognize the physical, cultural, and psychological similarities between our species. Transformers are an incredibly diverse race, like any other. But specifically in physical form. Your average cybertronian holds a similar appearance to your average human. We tend to have the same features, just with different names. Eyes, noses, faceplates, ears, two arms, two legs. Sure that’s average for them too. But they are unique because of the fact that they have two forms. Vehicle mode. Their mode decides what they’re second mode looks like, which can create extreme diversity is appearance. Small, large, many limbed or not.

So the immediate similarities probably wouldn’t jump out to them in an odd way. There’s also the idea that because they’re so spread out in the universe, they’ve seen other organic races that are also similar. Pairs of every body part could be the common denominator among species.

That goes culturally too. War, love, music, government, politics, it’s all a natural form of sentient evolution. Another common denominator. It’s how it’s done that makes it unique. And the similarities between human and cybertronian culture is uncomfortably familiar.

I think that’s why cybertronians are seen being closest with humans rather than other species in the shows and comics (obviously because the audience is human and they need relation to characters but shhhh forget that for a sec). This is where the theories start.

Let’s say cybertronians begin to recognize the weird similarities between our species. The really, really weird stuff. The itty bitty details. Like:

- how we also mainstream kissing on the lips as the top tier romantic gesture.

- use verbal tone and cues for our language.

- have intensely complicated interpersonal relationships in the exact same manner.

- suffer from extreme mental health issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD (I totally headcannon that forms of adhd, autism, and ocd exist in cybertronian society, have y’all not seen my boy rodimus prime??)

- will also destroy each other in the name of our gods, until we have a common enemy.

That’s just the basics I could come up with. The only time I actually saw a moment where a transformer genuinely take a moment to realize that humans can be a threat, was in transformers prime. Episode 6 of beast wars (I think, correct me if wrong), where Miko beats the ever loving fuck out of an insecticon (I think) and upon Megatron hearing this, just goes blank Kubrick stare for a hot second. Man had an ugly realization that did not fit in with anything he had experienced his whole life.

AND THEY NEVER FUCKING ADDRESSED IT EVER AGAIN. Sick of this shit. Could’ve had the most badass character development, where the humans actually proved useful and did something (it would have fit Milo’s character so perfectly too) and scared the utter shit out of the transformers. BUT NO. They continue to be annoying as fuck.

One thing I loved about TF Prime was that it canonically turned Unicron into Earth. And humans came from the earth. Which relates humans beings and cybertronians so hard. Cousins Fr. We are the cybertronian equivalent of organics, and transformers the inorganic equivalent of humans. The individuality, the chaos, the culture, it clicks. There is so much material to really go into it.

But they never do. Don’t get me wrong, I love Transformers lord and just discovering more without humans being involved. We’re just annoying af at this point. But there is so much u tapped potential in transformers actually taking the chance to LEARN about us. But we’re just friends (pets) to these mfs.

That’s why I love TF Earthspark so far. Transformers ingrained into human culture because they’re not from Cybertron, and cybertronians having to adapt to human culture because they have no where else to go. Granted, it’s a kids show. There’s only so much they can do. But I’m excited for where it’ll lead. It really shows how much of threat and ally humans are, and how we are just as diverse as cybertronians.

I need to write another fic about cybertronians meeting humans their size from our world tho. Need to continue my old piece. Would give me so much life. Y’all help motivate me, college draining my ass.
