Examples of people who feel that they are "normal about astrology" in the reblogs of a post about astrology-based discrimination:

Translation: "It is reasonable to judge a person by their "full birth chart", but not just their sign. I know all about this. I am a good Birthday Bigot who is bigoted against the right people."

Translation: "It's reasonable to refuse to associate with someone because of their "birth chart". There is a "worst sign" to be. It's not mine. Please trust me, fellow Birthday Bigots."

Translation: "It is acceptable to discriminate against people with Gemini in OTHER parts of their "birth chart" - but not against me. You are practicing astrology-based discrimination incorrectly. I am a better Birthday Bigot than you."

Translation: "People who say that they have experienced astrology-based discrimination are at fault for their own problems, as it is easy to recognize and avoid bigots (who never conceal the nature and seriousness of their beliefs). In any case, discrimination of this kind is a "fandom thing," not a real problem; those who claim otherwise in the post I am reblogging have clearly simply failed to be normal enough. Openly-disliking astrology is at least as bad as astrology-based discrimination. (You should never be honest about your beliefs if you think they might upset someone.)"

Harringroveson being a Libra/Aries/Leo relationship would be so chaotic, because air signs fuel the intensity of fire signs and vice versa. They would have very hot sex, yeah, but also they would do so many stupid illegal things together.

^Virgos. As a Virgo myself, I had to make my twins virgos: organized, a tad judgmental, self-reflection and perfection sought. (Also, b&w realease date September 18th was right there. >:3 ) Earth sign (underground bosses).

Found this old comment from my Aries friend.

Aries to Aries communication.

[jadagul]

Matched with someone getting a PhD in clinical psych. Asked about her research, and it turns out she's "exploring the connection between astrological birth charts and possible treatment planning".

Excerpts from dating profiles I swiped left on:

"If you're a white man who's lucky enough to match with me, make sure to bring offerings".

"I heal my ancestral trauma by dominating white men and making them do things that improve the environment."

(These were two different profiles, seen within the space of a day or two.)

YES YES IT'S THEM AGAIN. I COULDN'T RESIST AND Y'ALL ASKED SO NICELY.

In this episode: messy haired Holmes

I have their story in my head up to the point of Victor's leave, and it's highly probable I will draw it all... I can roughly divide it into three chapters: 1st that is finished, 2nd concerning the events of the "Gloria Scott" and 3rd dealing with the mess afterwards.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2: part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6 - part 7 - part 8

A couple more of my thoughts and headcanons on the topic that came up in the meantime (hopefully no spoilers?):

I wanted their relationship to be a queerplatonic one, so if you're here for romance, you'll be disappointed. Holmes has some things thought through (as I tried to show in the previous part), he does like Victor on a different level than he has ever experienced, but he doesn't know where his boundaries of being comfortable are, and, at least for now, this is all too confusing for him to experiment. So he's just enjoying the time that they have and doesn't dwell on in too much.

Second thing is, Holmes seems to be alright with thouch, at least the way I read him. (Honestly, the amount of touch provided by him, to Watson in the first place of course, but also to other, random people? That's a LOT to me. But my view may also be biased, I don't like touching at all.) Yes, so, Holmes is alright with casual touch, and the closer he is with someone, the more alright he seems to be. I can see him as a type who will start treating friends like furniture, if they're close enough.

Ah and the third thing. I believe Holmes to be the kind of student who did a lot of extracurriculars in his fields of interest, and barely passed or had to repeat all the rest. And I hc astrology to be his sworn enemy. Because what influence does it have on the results of his chemical research or crime? Exactly.

so, a kundli is an astrological star chart created and interpreted by brahmin priests (specifically called jyotish.) this interpretation is almost always a cover for enforcing caste endogamy and maintaining social control over young people, especially women. before many hindu marriages, ensuring the bride and groom's kundli are compatible is necessary before any of the rituals can begin. in more devout families, the star chart is considered as a guide for making any decisions about careers or children's futures.

anyways. someone from my university is soliciting funding for an app that does online consultations with jyotishis and was discussing the implementation of dark patters to drive up user engagement. welcome to modernity.

Thinkin’ About Aries Billy, Leo Eddie, and Libra Steve going on a trip in Steve’s car. Aries Billy and Leo Eddie pouting in the back seat of Steve’s car because they called shotgun at the same time and Libra Steve couldn’t decide who deserved to sit by him. Aries Billy upset because he can’t control the music. (He doesn’t like not being in control.) Leo Eddie upset because he can’t talk Steve’s ear off. (He doesn’t like not having Steve’s attention.) Libra Steve threatening to turn the car around to go home. (He actually wants to go home.)
