#but I know people tend to be anxious about this sort of thing

[a-stars-art-blog]

Hello there!! I greatly enjoy your art and your fandom thoughts, so I love reading through your posts and tags but could you maybe not use "delusions" or "delusional" when talking about your fandom takes or ideas...?

I'm not assuming that you're intending to be disrespectful, not at all, I know it's sort of become part of Internet Speech, it's just that it's trivializing actual delusions that can impact a person's life very, very negatively...

Feel free to reply to this in private or not at all! As I said, I don't want to come across like I think you're disrespectful on purpose, you actually seem like a really nice person

Thank you so much for reaching out!!

Yes I’ll definitely make sure not to use it 👍 it’s definitely not my intention to make people feel uncomfortable.

I appreciate you saying something 🫶

Me: wow, my enjoyment of life and people has decreased by 1%

🐎 I observed that Capricorn/Aquarius and Scorpio Venus tend not to fall that much in love relationships, definitely not as crazy about their love life rather more about their careers

🐎 Venus in the 11H or 11° 23° since the 11th house is related to the desires, these natives usually have a lot of desires/wishes towards their love life

🐎 Saturn in the 1H/6H/10H/12H are kinda anxious when starting something new because they are known to work and focus on the same thing for a long time, when it comes to starting something new it can be a challenge for them

🐎 Mars aspecting Saturn harshly, and if one of those planets is in the 7H, can indicate being patient in the couple - arguing/fight moments,

🐎 Chiron aspecting Venus or Moon can definitely go up for couple therapy when is needed because it can help

🐎 Cancers and Gemini placements can be good at crafting/creating. Cancers definitely for traditional crafting at home/homemade

🐎 Mars in Aries/in 1H or ar 1° 13° 25° is a known fact that these natives get irritated fast. They have an inner anger that comes out in random moments

🐎 Uranus in the 10H natives or Urnaus at 10° 22° probably have a desire/dream to end up successful at some point in their lives

🐎 Pisces/Gemini/Aquarius and Sagittarius Placements can be interested in space and physics/chemistry, I know so many of them who just love staying in a laboratory doing stuff

─────────────────────

Here I am, so young and strong

Right here in the place where we belong

─────────────────────

🐎 Cancer or Moon in your 7H can indicate a deep need for being nurtured or to nurture others in a relationship

🐎 Scorpio Placements are usually seen as the 'bad guys', but they were the ones to meet the most bad guys in their lives... like these people went through a lot

🐎 Aries/Scorpio/Sagittarius/Capricorn in the 3H can make a person bitter/colder in conversations and is usually when they are being verbally attacked by others

🐎 If we think about it Aquarius/Capricorn and Sagittarius Venus need a lot of freedom in their relationship, they love their relationship but also having some time for yourself is vital

🐎 Leo Venus/Moon/Rising really loves to get compliments. It is a nice thing to feel seen or appreciated by others

🐎 Aries and Pisces Venus needs a lot of trust in their relationship, don't be afraid to trust your partner, if they really love you, they wouldn't lie

🐎 Venus in Virgo/6H or at 6° and 18° is a really lovely placement because it talks about a devoted partner, probably someone picky as well

🐎 Juno aspecting Pluto can indicate a partner or relationship that will change you, so that means you won't be the same you after that relationship

🐎 North Node being less aspected can indicate confusion about what to do with your life next but also having it easier to go through your life stages

🐎 Capricorn Placements are wise since young and are a big indicator of an old soul. They will be more wise with their age

🐎 North Node aspecting Venus in both harsh and good aspects stands for finding a love for yourself, to appreciate yourself

🐎 Saturn aspecting the ascendant natives can isolate themselves from the world, it's like a coping mechanism to help them

🐎 If you have Mars in the 9H and you're in a relationship/marriage, you can have some sort of tension with your partner's parents or family

🐎 Pluto in your 8H/12H can indicate a good intuition but also a strong native because you'll have to go through hardships involving your own evolution

🐎 When you have 9H/12H placements and you haven't moved away from your homeland, you can end wish or crave that, you can crave for moving away

─────────────────────

I've been waiting for you

Here I am

─────────────────────

🐎 Mercury - Venus/Jupiter - Neptune/Mercury - Moon aspects in your chart bring creativity, you can have a creative mind

🐎 Saturn in the 1H/5H/8H helps with the self - improvement over the years, like you get better with the years/in the future

🐎 Most times, an earth Venus will look for stability in a love relationship. If they can't find it, they will just look for it

🐎 Jupiter aspecting Mars natives will get angry easily, and the fun thing is that.. you can see it on their faces..they cannot hide the anger

🐎 Harsh aspects between Sun and Moon can make you hate yourself at times and usually come from the imperfections of yourself. We are all imperfect and we should appreciate that

🐎 Spirit is such a childhood core, yet it feels like a fever dream. The emotional baggage of this movie is crazy. 🐎

One criticism of Jane Austen is that she ignored the lower classes. I find this kind of dumb on multiple levels, primarily because not every work of fiction or social criticism needs to include every single social ill, but also because she does talk about servants/the lower classes quite a bit more than people realize and what she says is important.

The overall theme: kindness to servants/the lower classes/the poor is a very important mark of character.

We all know that Elizabeth Bennet changed her mind about Mr. Darcy after hearing a positive character reference from his housekeeper, but that is just one example of many. The Dashwood girls are better employers than John & Fanny since they easily find servants to move across the country with them: Her wisdom too limited the number of their servants to three; two maids and a man, with whom they were speedily provided from amongst those who had formed their establishment at Norland. Also, servants tended to brag about having wealthy employers, these three servants wanted both a far away and a less prestigious job. John & Fanny were really that bad!

Another mark against General Tilney's character is that he gets irrationally angry at/scares servants:

To such anxious attention was the General’s civility carried, that not aware of her extraordinary swiftness in entering the house, he was quite angry with the servant whose neglect had reduced her to open the door of the apartment herself. “What did William mean by it? He should make a point of inquiring into the matter.” And if Catherine had not most warmly asserted his innocence, it seemed likely that William would lose the favour of his master forever, if not his place, by her rapidity.

“Why! How can you ask the question? Because no time is to be lost in frightening my old housekeeper out of her wits, because I must go and prepare a dinner for you, to be sure.” (Henry, on his father coming to his house for a visit. This may be half a joke, but General Tilney is very critical of the meal)

Mrs. Ferrars's character is made quite plain in this complaint about paying annuities (basically a pension here) to some of her husband's old servants:

I have known a great deal of the trouble of annuities; for my mother was clogged with the payment of three to old superannuated servants by my father’s will, and it is amazing how disagreeable she found it. Twice every year these annuities were to be paid; and then there was the trouble of getting it to them; and then one of them was said to have died, and afterwards it turned out to be no such thing. My mother was quite sick of it. Her income was not her own, she said, with such perpetual claims on it; and it was the more unkind in my father, because, otherwise, the money would have been entirely at my mother’s disposal, without any restriction whatever.

Mrs. Ferrars is loaded, and she begrudges paying a few pounds to 3 servants. She is greedy and ungrateful.

Mrs. Norris's treatment of the servants is similar to her treatment of Fanny. It shows the depth of her miserliness (how much could one boy really eat?) and also cruelty:

"I had been looking about me in the poultry-yard, and was just coming out, when who should I see but Dick Jackson making up to the servants’ hall-door with two bits of deal board in his hand, bringing them to father, you may be sure; mother had chanced to send him of a message to father, and then father had bid him bring up them two bits of board, for he could not no how do without them. I knew what all this meant, for the servants’ dinner-bell was ringing at the very moment over our heads; and as I hate such encroaching people (the Jacksons are very encroaching, I have always said so: just the sort of people to get all they can), I said to the boy directly (a great lubberly fellow of ten years old, you know, who ought to be ashamed of himself), ‘I’ll take the boards to your father, Dick, so get you home again as fast as you can.’ The boy looked very silly, and turned away without offering a word, for I believe I might speak pretty sharp; and I dare say it will cure him of coming marauding about the house for one while. I hate such greediness—so good as your father is to the family, employing the man all the year round!”

It also highlights her hypocrisy, as Mrs. Norris has moved in during the play to help with the preparations, so she is getting free meals all week but she won't let this kid eat when he's helping his father (who is building the stage for the play)

Mr. Knightley considers the common people of Highbury before moving a path, even though he likely owns all of the land and can do whatever he wants:

"But John, as to what I was telling you of my idea of moving the path to Langham, of turning it more to the right that it may not cut through the home meadows, I cannot conceive any difficulty. I should not attempt it, if it were to be the means of inconvenience to the Highbury people, but if you call to mind exactly the present line of the path"

The kind Musgroves, who have given their nursemaid a retirement plan instead of turning her out:

A chaise was sent for from Crewkherne, and Charles conveyed back a far more useful person in the old nursery-maid of the family, one who having brought up all the children, and seen the very last, the lingering and long-petted Master Harry, sent to school after his brothers, was now living in her deserted nursery to mend stockings and dress all the blains and bruises she could get near her, and who, consequently, was only too happy in being allowed to go and help nurse dear Miss Louisa.

And who clearly are rewarded for this kindness.

Anne Elliot showing kindness to Mrs. Smith, who has nearly fallen right out of the gentry, vs. her fathers disdain for charity:

“Westgate Buildings!” said he, “and who is Miss Anne Elliot to be visiting in Westgate Buildings? A Mrs Smith. A widow Mrs Smith; and who was her husband? One of five thousand Mr Smiths whose names are to be met with everywhere. And what is her attraction? That she is old and sickly. Upon my word, Miss Anne Elliot, you have the most extraordinary taste! Everything that revolts other people, low company, paltry rooms, foul air, disgusting associations are inviting to you. But surely you may put off this old lady till to-morrow: she is not so near her end, I presume, but that she may hope to see another day. What is her age? Forty?”

Added to Sir Walter and Elizabeth's idea to cut expenses:

“Can we retrench? Does it occur to you that there is any one article in which we can retrench?” and Elizabeth, to do her justice, had, in the first ardour of female alarm, set seriously to think what could be done, and had finally proposed these two branches of economy, to cut off some unnecessary charities, and to refrain from new furnishing the drawing-room; to which expedients she afterwards added the happy thought of their taking no present down to Anne, as had been the usual yearly custom."

Vs. how the Crofts treat the poor:

She could have said more on the subject; for she had in fact so high an opinion of the Crofts, and considered her father so very fortunate in his tenants, felt the parish to be so sure of a good example, and the poor of the best attention and relief, that however sorry and ashamed for the necessity of the removal, she could not but in conscience feel that they were gone who deserved not to stay, and that Kellynch Hall had passed into better hands than its owners’.

Henry Crawford's moral fall begins with ignoring the needs of his tenants:

"I have half an idea of going into Norfolk again soon. I am not satisfied about Maddison. I am sure he still means to impose on me if possible, and get a cousin of his own into a certain mill, which I design for somebody else. I must come to an understanding with him. I must make him know that I will not be tricked on the south side of Everingham, any more than on the north: that I will be master of my own property... I have a great mind to go back into Norfolk directly, and put everything at once on such a footing as cannot be afterwards swerved from. Maddison is a clever fellow; I do not wish to displace him, provided he does not try to displace me; but it would be simple to be duped by a man who has no right of creditor to dupe me, and worse than simple to let him give me a hard-hearted, griping fellow for a tenant, instead of an honest man, to whom I have given half a promise already. Would it not be worse than simple? Shall I go? Do you advise it?”

Of course, Henry does not go to Everginham, as he knows is right, but instead goes to the party in London, where he again runs into Maria...

Yes, Austen didn't write servants/the lower classes as full characters in general, they are in the background and around the edges of the scenes, but over and over, we can sort characters into moral and immoral by their treatment of those less fortunate around them.

the elements

(as i see them)

aries is the fire of fire

aries burns the hottest of the fire signs, as they ruled by mars. in every placement, aries brings a signature heat that is unmatched. an aries mars will experience emotions in a sort of frenzy, they may feel sort of ignited by their feelings (no pun intended) an aries sun lives with a never ending fire in their bellies, they always have direction.

leo is the water of fire

while leos are quite fiery themselves, the fuel that keeps them burning is an emotionally charged one. they want to be adored, respected, admired, seen. when leo does not feel this way, the volcano erupts and everyone gets hurt, including them. a leo moon or mars will make sure you burn the way that they do inside if you cross them. a leo venus will leave you in the dust if they are not cherished the way they cherish you.

sag is the air of fire

sagittarius loves to be free! this is what makes them the air. in line with the themes of 9th house, sag wants to explore and experience all there is. no matter what the scenario, much like an air sign, they want to feel like they are alive. sag mars wants expand their horizons as far as they can go. sag venus wants to feel independent even in love. also sagittarius is mutable; they’re super adaptable + open minded (flexible like air)

taurus is the earth of earth

taurus is known as the sign of stability. taurus wants a stable income, stable relationships, stable home. taurus understands the connection between working hard and receiving in abundance. in any placement, taurus provides a levelheadedness like no other. this is also why taurus is known for being stubborn; when it wants to, the earth is immovable. also why taurus ppl tend to have monotone voices!

virgo is the air of earth

virgos are ruled by mercury so just like gemini, they tend to be in their heads quite a bit (head in the clouds). a lot of times, ppl say that when they first meet a virgo, they seem aloof and far away. the wheels are always turning! sometimes this is why ppl may feel that virgo is two faced or difficult to understand, but this is bc they’re always thinking, it never stops. mercury is always thinking about the next move, if they could’ve handled something better, etc. so virgos are not lighthearted like air signs but are definitely intellectual like them.

capricorn is the water of earth

some may be surprised at me placing capricorn here but let me explain 😭 capricorns are represented by saturn right? they are known for going through really tough shit, especially as they’re growing up. eventually they develop a deeper need for emotional fulfillment but a lot of times bc they come off as cold and calculating, they don’t get that til they find ppl who understand them. a lot of capricorns also don’t even realize that they need that emotional connection and may act out bc of that.

cancer is water of water

cancers are kind of as the stereotype goes; very emotional and feel things in a very consuming way. however people forget that cancers are not just balls of emotion; they are such layered beings. think about it: cancers are ruled by the moon and the moon itself holds so much lore, the moon carries a mystic energy. when a cancer feels sad, happy, anxious, or angry, they feel it in abundance. emotions wash over them, even if it’s apathy - they even detach on a deeper level than others. i believe that this is why they are able to connect to others in such depth, especially when they are close to them; cancer feels what you feel and more.

scorpio is the fire of water

in traditional astrology, scorpio is ruled by mars; their passion is right on par with aries. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again - no one knows the depths of scorpio like scorpio does. i’ve also found that the further the placement, the deeper the “ocean”. for example, scorpio mercury holds much more depth than scorpio sun. also the further out the placement, the more impression management and the more calculating they are. a scorpio sun might lash out and expose emotions they didn’t have a chance to refine but it is much harder to catch a scorpio mercury slipping like that.

pisces is the air of water

pisces wants to feel in touch but free at the same time. they want the illusion of being connected to everyone but (often) none of the responsibility. you may find that pisces seems to finish your sentences, know just what you need, be there at exactly the right time. this is because 12th house is the subconscious and pisces empathizes without even trying. however, sometimes feeling everything at once (including their own emotions) can become overwhelming for them and they will shed emotions that are uncomfortable at any given moment, even if they care for you.

gemini is the air of air

geminis are about as detached as you can get 😭 but don’t get me wrong, this does not mean that they don’t have feelings or attachments. they just have a habit of detaching themselves from feelings or relationships that are not comfortable for them anymore bc they take their own feelings quite seriously. geminis want to feel in control of their lives and every little experience - in order to do that they must be eternally free.

libra is the water of air

so there is talk of libras being highly emotional while being void of emotion at the same time. i think there is some truth in that; libra is the sign of duality and balance. libras also address things in a diplomatic way and a lot times they need to be objective in their approach. the emotional side of libra is simultaneously a logical one. libra knows that in order to maintain balance, they must understand how everyone involved is feeling. sometimes the emotions belong to libra and in both instances, they use their own moral compass to decide what the most seamless decision is - even at the cost of their relationships. libra also will not address issues if they will disturb the balance, including their own issues.

aquarius is the earth of air

aquarius to me is actually the most practical of the air signs. i know what i said about libra, but remember libra is willing to overlook glaring issues if it will protect the peace (much like pisces). however an aquarius will almost always be the voice of reason and sometimes even make others uncomfortable with their critical view of the world. don’t get me wrong, aquarians are absolutely the humanitarians of the 12. but because aqua is so connected to the world, they are aware of the world’s flaws too. aqua is also great at managing money and other responsibilities. aqua may also grow impatient with ppl who are not realistic or mature enough. you may hear that aquarius mars can be rigid in their abstract understanding of the world.

My Response

Since I can't reblog, I'll respond this way.

THIS IS NOT TO ATTACK BUT TO SHARE MY REASONING FOR DISAGREEMENT.

I won't lie. This tweet really bothered me. Same annoyance and sadness with 'You can't criticize percabeth because it's based on Rick's marriage.' I'm not saying you said that, but I see that comment often.

Anyway, I'm going to remain respectful.

You are NOT erasing Percy's character's strength by pointing out the toxicity and abuse of Percabeth. Yes, Percy is not afraid of calling out people's nonsense. HOWEVER, he does that with people he DOES NOT like. Of course, it's easier for him to call out people he doesn't like because it wouldn't affect him.

However, when it comes to people he cares for, that's another story. When it comes to Grover nearly fucking up Percy's quest because he didn't want him or Annabeth to leave him, instead of calling out his selfishness, Percy bites his tongue and BLAMES HIMSELF for making Grover feel that way.

What about when his mother admits she was selfish by not letting him go to camp? Despite being a safer option, she didn't want him going to camp. Percy had every right to be mad. This could've saved him from Gabe. But instead, he still adores her. He doesn't hold it against her.

Lastly, with Annabeth, she's done all sorts of things, like punching him in the gut, judo flipping him with the intention of hurting him, and blaming him for leaving her even though he was kidnapped.

Did Percy lash out? No. There wasn't a retort either. Instead, he laughed it off, and they haven't spoken about it. If anything, he felt the need to make it up to Annabeth. He felt GUILTY for something that was not his fault.

What about when she calls him seaweed brain, a name he doesn't like? A name similar to 'brain boy,' something smelly Gabe calls him to demean his intelligence. A name that ANNABETH finds insulting too, and doesn't want to be called. Does he tell her to stop or call her mean names back? Kinda, but he later GIVES UP and bites his tongue.

What about when Reyna says he 'couldn't find his way out of a paper bag,' and Annabeth laughs and agrees with her. Percy may have said 'hey!" but that's it. Was it talked about? I don't think so. It was brushed to the side.

Percy may be brave enough to stand up to bullies, but he doesn't stand up to his loved ones when they truly hurt him. His fatal flaw being loyalty to loved ones, even when they fuck him over, prevents him from doing that.

Annabeth is nowhere near like Gabe, but that doesn't mean she's not hurting Percy, and you're not degrading Percy for calling this out.

I was in Percy's shoes. I stood up to bullies and people I didn't like. Uncomfortable? Scary? Hell yeah, but I did it anyway. I know what that's like. However, just like Percy, I also brushed off the pain my friends and loved ones caused me. I brushed off my 'friends' fucking me over, even took the blame for them. Why? I didn't want them to leave me. I overlooked when my loved ones would unintentionally say hurtful things. Why? Because I love them and didn't want them to leave me either. Also, I tried to appear strong, too. It's okay now that I had therapy and stuff.

Guess what? Percy does the same thing, and that's worth calling out. Victims of abuse tend to overlook their loved ones hurting them.

I'm not 'minimizing' or 'erasing' Percy's strength and courage for calling a spade a spade, and I can not stand when percabeth stans try to sweep toxic things Annabeth does under the rug. Again, is she abusive and like Gabe? No. BUT she does things that remind me of Gabe, like calling Percy mean names to insult his intelligence. She hits, kicks, and hurts him when he does something she doesn't like. Gabe doesn't do this, but Annabeth would sometimes play mind games or make her boyfriend anxious just for the hell of it. (Bringing up Rachel to make Percy uncomfortable). I'll stop listing.

But I have to say. You said it was 'insulting' to Annabeth to call her actions 'abusive'? I say it's insulting to act like what she's doing isn't abusive or toxic. All that I've listed, she didn't do this playfully or in a lighthearted manner. Annabeth did this angry or annoyed and with INTENT. It wasn't an oopsie! No, she wants it to hurt, especially the judo flip scene. So, do I care if I insult Annabeth? Sorry, but no. I don't care because she's in the wrong. Not always, but MOST, and I don't feel guilty because of her actions and how she hasn't learned (and doesn't want to).

Overall, I hate that these types of arguments become popular. I understand you don't like your ship being called horrible things, and I'm not trying to be mean. Most of us are not. However, we can NOT sweep over some of the things Annabeth or Percy do, mainly Annabeth.

I'm sorry for dumping something heavy. I'm not trying to make this about me. My point is that you're not discarding Percy for calling out Percabeth's toxicity. That's it.

Edited: March 18th, 2025. I wanted to add a little more and correct grammar and typos.

As Many Times as You Need X Joseph Quinn (Requested)

MasterList

Joseph Quinn Masterlist

Stranger Things and Cast Masterlist

AN: This one hit a little too close to home for me cause to be honest I need to hear this myself.

It had been one of those perfectly average nights. The sort that makes you feel like everything’s alright, even if you’ve done absolutely nothing worth remembering. We were curled up on the sofa well, I was curled, and Joe was more or less draped across it in that lanky, dramatic way of his. The telly was on, some show we weren’t even really watching. Just background noise, filling the comfortable quiet that tends to fall when two people know each other inside out.

He was warm, his arm slung loosely around my waist, thumb idly stroking over the fabric of my hoodie. One of his, obviously. I always nicked the comfiest ones. His hair was slightly messy, curls flopping onto his forehead, and I’d spent the better part of the last half hour absently carding my fingers through it while he laid his head against my chest.

The world was still.

So when he spoke, it caught me off guard.

"Why are you with me?"

I blinked, half-glancing down at him. “Hmm?”

He didn’t look up. “I mean really... why? Besides the money.”

I laughed softly, ready with some sort of joke probably something cheeky about his ability to order uber eats without glancing at the price.

But then I felt it.

His body had tensed slightly. His hand had stilled. His breathing was shallow.

And when he finally looked up at me, I saw the tears in his eyes.

My heart sank.

Not in a dramatic, movie-scene kind of way. In the real way. That sudden drop in your stomach when someone you love looks like they’ve been carrying a weight too heavy for too long and they’ve only just let you see it.

“Oh, Joe...” I whispered, sitting up straighter, cupping his face with both hands.

He tried to blink the tears away, but one escaped, trailing down his cheek, and I caught it with my thumb before it could fall much further.

“I’m sorry,” he mumbled, voice thick. “I don’t mean to be that guy. I just I’ve been trying not to say anything for weeks. But it’s there. Always. Just... sitting.”

I nodded slowly, not rushing him. His eyes were bloodshot now, and he looked genuinely exhausted.

“You think I’m here for your money?” I asked, gently.

He gave a helpless little shrug. “I don’t know. Not just that. I mean no. Not you. But it’s happened before, you know? And she...” He cut himself off, shaking his head. “My ex used to tell me people only liked me now because of who I am. That I was boring, or too sensitive, or anxious. That the attention would fade and no one would actually stay.”

He let out a shaky breath. “And I don’t want that to be true. But part of me’s still terrified that it is.”

I leaned in, pressed my forehead against his, and closed my eyes for a moment.

God, I hated her. Not in the petty way, but in the way you hate storms that knock down people’s homes. She hadn’t just hurt him she’d rewired him. Made love feel conditional. Fragile.

“Look at me,” I whispered, pulling back just enough to meet his eyes.

He did. Barely. But he did.

“I don’t love you because of your money,” I said softly. “And I’m not with you because of your face, or your name, or because you can buy fancy wine when I’d be happy with a £3 one.”

He let out a tiny laugh, tear-wet and broken. “You do love the wine, though.”

I smiled. “Sure, but I’d still love you if we were sharing chips on a park bench.”

He went quiet again. I could see the battle in his expression the one between wanting to believe me and not quite knowing how.

So I told him the truth. The whole truth. The messy, soft, unfiltered truth.

“I love you because you talk to animals like they understand you. I love you because you rewatch the same five comfort films like they’re sacred texts. I love you because you overthink everything and still find time to make everyone feel seen.”

He blinked at me.

“I love how you double-check your texts to make sure they don’t sound too blunt. I love how you cry at films you’ve already seen, how you say sorry too much, and how you play with the edge of your sleeves when you’re nervous.”

He swallowed.

“I love that you let me in,” I said, voice barely above a whisper. “Even when it’s hard. Even when your past is louder than your present. I love you in all your anxious, overthinking, late-night-thinking, soft-hearted chaos.”

By then, he was crying again. But it was different. Softer. Almost peaceful.

“And I will tell you every single day, in every single way you need to hear it that I’m not here for what you have. I’m here for who you are. And if that means repeating myself a hundred times a day, I will. Because that’s what love is, Joe. It’s not just kisses and smiles and stolen jumpers. It’s sitting in the dark with someone and reminding them that the monsters aren’t real even when they’re convinced they are.”

He pulled me into him then, arms wrapped so tightly around me it nearly knocked the breath out of my lungs. His face was tucked into my neck, and I could feel the warmth of his tears against my skin.

“I don’t deserve you,” he whispered.

“Shut up,” I whispered back. “You deserve all of this and more.”

We sat there like that for a long time. The telly still buzzed in the background, but we weren’t watching. We weren’t doing anything, really.

Just being.

Existing in this quiet, sacred space where fear and love met in the middle.

Eventually, he pulled back just enough to look at me again. His eyes were still red, but the panic had settled.

“You’re not going anywhere?” he asked.

“Only to the kitchen for snacks,” I said, smiling softly. “And I’ll come back.”

He let out a breathy laugh. “Promise?”

I held up my pinkie. “Promise.”

He linked his with mine. That stupid, silly little gesture we’d started doing early on, almost as a joke. Now it felt like an oath.

“I love you,” he said, voice still trembling.

“I know. I love you, too.”

He nodded. “Tell me again in the morning?”

“I’ll tell you in five minutes if you want.”

He grinned, cheeks still damp. “Yeah. I might.”

“Then I’ll be ready.”

We curled up again, this time with him holding me like he needed to make sure I was real. And I let him. Because he did need it. And I didn’t mind.

That was the thing, wasn’t it? Loving someone like Joe someone who had been burned and bruised by love meant being gentle where others hadn’t been. It meant repeating yourself, proving yourself, standing firm in the face of every doubt his past had drilled into him.

And I would.

As many times as he needed.

Forever, if it came to that.

Because when someone like Joseph Quinn gives you his heart, all battered and unsure you don’t just take it.

You protect it.

You prove it’s safe with you.

And that’s exactly what I planned to do.

Some mornings are soft by default. You wake up to sunlight creeping through the curtains, the kind that paints the duvet golden. There's the weight of him next to me, always warm even when it’s cold out. Sometimes he sleeps on his stomach, arms stretched above his head like a starfish. Other times he’s tucked in close, his leg hooked around mine, mouth slightly open.

But this morning felt... still.

Not peaceful. Just still.

I blinked awake, the way you do when your body knows something's off before your brain catches up. The bed beside me was still half-full, but it was obvious Joe hadn’t been sleeping. He was sitting up, back against the headboard, his phone in his hand. His brows were drawn, his jaw tight. His thumb kept swiping, but the look on his face made it clear nothing he was seeing was doing him any good.

“Hey,” I murmured, voice hoarse with sleep, reaching out to touch his arm. “What’s wrong?”

He flinched a little not away from me, just like I’d pulled him out of something deep. He looked down at me, guilt flashing across his features like he’d been caught red-handed.

“Didn’t mean to wake you,” he said, voice low.

“You didn’t. What are you looking at?”

He hesitated, thumb locking his screen before placing the phone facedown on his lap. “Just... the usual shit. Some tagged posts. A few threads.”

My stomach sank. I didn’t have to ask what kind of threads. I knew the tone of voice he used when he’d been reading things he shouldn’t have. Not because he didn’t have the right, but because they never gave him anything helpful. Just noise. Cruel, unfiltered noise.

“What did they say?” I asked gently, pushing myself up so I could sit beside him.

He ran a hand through his hair, looking away. “That I’ve gone quiet. That I’m boring now. That I’m losing it. That I don’t look the way I used to.”

I waited.

He hesitated. “That you’re with me for status. Or because I’m ‘safe’. Or because you’re settling. That I’m lucky you haven’t left.”

My chest ached.

It had been years. Years of love and laughter, of slow Sundays and shared meals and stolen kisses backstage. Years of healing and growing and building. And for the most part, Joe was steady now. More confident in who he was. More at home in his own skin.

But healing isn’t a straight line.

Sometimes, it loops back around when you least expect it.

And today, it had.

He glanced at me, eyes glassy. “I thought I was past this,” he whispered. “I thought I didn’t need it anymore. The reassurance.”

I reached for his hand, lacing my fingers through his.

“You’re allowed to need it,” I said softly. “There’s no expiry date on needing to be reminded you’re loved.”

His shoulders dropped a little. He leaned his head against mine.

“Still feel stupid, though.”

“You’re not,” I said firmly, brushing a thumb over his knuckles. “You’re human. And humans bruise. Even when they’re healing.”

He didn’t say anything, but I felt his grip tighten ever so slightly.

So I told him again. New words, because love isn’t static. It grows, shifts, expands. And there were so many more reasons now.

“I love you,” I began, voice soft but steady. “I love the way you talk about your work. Not for the fame, not for the clout. But because it matters to you. You care so deeply, Joe. About everything. About everyone.”

He stayed quiet, but his head tilted slightly, listening.

“I love the way you read not just scripts, but books, articles, anything that makes you think. I love how you send me links at 2am with things like ‘this made me think of you.’ I love how you listen. How you really listen, even when you’re exhausted.”

He sniffed, and I looked up to find tears in his eyes again. Softer this time. Quiet.

“I love how you are with my family. How you remember everyone’s birthday, and how you let my dad ramble about old films you’ve never seen. I love how you fold my clothes when you think I won’t notice. I love how you always make sure there’s oat milk in the fridge.”

He gave a small laugh at that, wiping at his eyes.

“I love your voice in the morning, all gravelly and confused. I love the way you still get nervous before interviews, but do them anyway. I love your hands, and your heart, and the way you still look at me like I’m the best thing that ever happened to you even when you’ve just read comments that try to convince you I’m not.”

By now, his chin had tilted slightly, eyes locked on mine. Vulnerable. Open. Listening.

“You’ve worked so hard to love yourself again,” I whispered, resting my hand over his chest. “And you don’t have to do that alone. You never did. I’ll carry it with you. Every time. If your brain gets loud, I’ll talk louder. If your past comes knocking, I’ll be at the door with you.”

He blinked rapidly, tears slipping silently down his cheeks. “I don’t know what I did to deserve you.”

“You loved me,” I said simply. “You let me love you. You showed up even when it was hard.”

He leaned forward then, and I caught him in my arms. He held on tightly, like the words had cracked something open in him and now he just needed to be held while it settled.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered against my neck. “I really thought I was doing better.”

“You are,” I murmured. “But you’re still allowed to wobble. You’re allowed to have moments. You’re allowed to ask.”

He exhaled shakily.

“I didn’t want to be a burden.”

“You’re not. You never have been.”

I pulled back gently, hands cupping his face.

“You never have to pretend you’re fine when you’re not. Not with me. If you need reminding if you need reassurance ask. No shame. No guilt. I’ll say it as many times as you need.”

He smiled then, tear-streaked but sincere. “Even if it’s three times before breakfast?”

“Especially if it’s three times before breakfast.”

A quiet laugh left him. The tension in his shoulders eased. And I knew he’d be okay again soon. Not fixed not perfectly pieced together. But okay. Safe. Loved.

We sat there in the golden quiet for a while longer. The phone stayed face-down. The world could wait.

He had what he needed right here.

And so did I.

[annarobszombies]

Heyy if that's okay could i request Gen crushing on Senku's sibling? But unlike Senku who's obsessed with science they are a huge history nerd/historian? And they love to randomly infodump with the weirdest, crudest, freakiest history "fun" facts they know lol, them and Senku are menaces togheter lol

I will try my best! I cannot claim to be big on history, myself, so I had to do research and hope for the best.

Gen x Reader

Gen liked you. 

He wasn’t so proud as to not admit that to himself. You were Senku’s wild-eyed sibling who had a head filled with history on so many different places and peoples, it never failed to amaze him what you did and didn’t know. What also amazed him, was how much of that history was gruesome murders and bathroom habits. It weirded the others out just as much as Senku’s long-winded science lectures exhausted and confused them. 

But there was something in the way you spoke, the way you would get more and more excited about what you were talking about. While Senku tended to stay pretty relaxed when lecturing, you’d start talking with your hands, words coming faster every third sentence until you were nearly unintelligible. It could get a little concerning when you and Senku shared tangents together, though. You fed off each other’s energy, and could keep going just between the two of you for hours if not stopped. 

But Gen liked to listen. Mostly to you, of course, as he found your miniature lectures far more interesting and easy to follow than Senku’s science courses. He also liked the way your face lit up when someone asked for more information on whatever topic you were talking about, liked how your eyes seemed to glitter and your smile grew wider. It made his heart leap in his chest, his stomach twisting in anxious knots.

“What are you thinking about, my dear?” Gen’s voice startles you a bit. You blink out of your reverie, looking at him as he slides to the empty spot next to you. 

“The moon,” You say, turning back to look up at the great glowing mass beyond the stars. 

“Because that’s where we’re hoping to go?” 

“Mmhm. Well, sort of. I was lowkey wondering if Buzz Aldrin’s piss was still floating around up there.”

Gen chokes on his own spit at your mumbled words. 

“And…why would that be?” He’s a little scared to ask. 

“The part of his suit that collected urine busted, so he ended up peeing himself while he was up there,” You say with a shrug, as if it’s the most basic knowledge in the world. 

“I would think it floated away a long time ago,” Gen says. You give another little shrug, shifting to lean into his side a little. You liked to do that while you were thinking, though he’d noted recently that you only did it to him. 

“Maybe. But how funny would it be if our stone world astronauts got a face full of it while they were looking for Why-Man?” You snort and laugh, the sound of it so purely infectious that he can’t help chuckling along with you. 

“You certainly know all kinds of things,” Gen says, his gaze on you warm. 

“I was bored at school a lot.”

“Tell me something else,” He says, his heart trying to jump from his chest when one of those smiles brightens your face. 

“Medieval Europeans used to put animals on trial,” You said. “The little criminals had lawyers and everything.” 

“What would be the point of that, exactly?” 

“To maintain peace and order.” 

“Ah…of course.” 

You giggle at his skepticism. 

“Here’s one Senku likes,” You say. “Scientists weren’t always called scientists.” 

“Right, they were alchemists, I believe.”

“Oooh,” You lean a little more on him, the heat of your body making his face flush. “So close, Gen. Alchemists were sort of like ancient magicians. Scientists were actually called natural philosophers, sometimes savants. The word Scientist itself wasn’t coined until the 1830’s.” 

You stand back up straight, turning to face him, and Gen knows he’s in for more. 

“It was created by William Whewell. He was a historian. The word is supposed to pay homage to the word artist, which honestly makes perfect sense to me. Science is an art. Oh! Speaking of the 19th century, did you know that they used to do full on seances in the white house?”

“No, I didn’t,” He’s pretty sure he’d read that somewhere, but you looked so excited, he couldn’t bring himself to stop you. 

“Yeah! So, when President Lincoln’s son died in…” You pause, searching your mind for the correct date before moving on. “1862, if memory serves, his wife totally lost her gourd and hired people to come in and try to contact the dead. Which is totally bogus, by the way. If ghosts existed, they’d be made of purely energy, so I’m not sure they would actually be able to speak in the way we think.” 

“Is that so?” He’s leaning on the railing of the ship now, head tilted in a way that he hopes tells you he’s interested, rather than calculating. 

“Mmhm! Oh! Speaking of ghosts-” 

Your name is called, Senku waving at you from the doorway leading down into the lower floors of the Perseus. 

“Hey, quit flirting with the mentalist and come here, will ya?” Senku calls, sounding bored and a little disgusted. 

“M’kay,” You call back, leaving Gen reeling a bit over the small fact that you hadn’t corrected Senku when you’d been accused of flirting with him. 

You turn and start towards Senku, who lets you move past him down the stairs, pausing before following. 

“By the way, mentalist,” Senku calls. “If you’re gonna make a move, just make it already. I’m tired of watching you two dance around each other.” 

Gen lets out a chuckle, feeling rather embarrassed. Of course if anyone had noticed his growing feelings for you, it would be Senku. 

“I have no idea what you mean, dear Senku,” Gen says, lifting his eyes to look at the moon. He hears Senku scoff, but the scientist says nothing else.

[forsaken-headcanons]

Did you know that I love Coinrush / paycheck? Anyway headcanons about those two losers

- Elliot isn’t the biggest fan of pizza crust, ironically enough. Chance however is! So they’re given the crust from Elliot’s pizza.

^ This has become a lot less common as more time goes on in Forsaken due to Elliot finding pizza to be unappetizing.

- Elliot doesn’t blush easily, however Chance’s dumb flirting always manages to at least get a light blush from him

- Chance isn’t aware Elliot is rich, so he jokes that he’s only interested in Elliot for his money. Elliot plays along, and sometimes jokes that he’s going to steal Chance’s money when they “win big”

- Chance knows how to do card tricks, and puts on a show sometimes! Elliot is always amazed even if he’s seen the tricks a million times by now

- Chance calls Elliot his “good luck charm”

- Elliot sometimes finds a few stray dollars in his room / cabin as payment for healing Chance. He always stashes them somewhere in Chance’s room- When found, Chance returns the money to Elliot. At this point it’s a game between the two.

- Elliot has doodled Chance’s bunny Spade before after listening to them talk about Spade. Chance keeps the drawing in a pocket in his suit.

- They’re both ambidextrous, but when holding hands Elliot prefers the left side to keep his left hand free, and vice versa for Chance, with their right hand.

- Chance has offered Elliot a job at his casino if they ever get out of Forsaken.

- They cook together!!

^ Though Elliot is the better cook, he still loves having Chance help.

^^ Chance usually makes desserts! They’re more of a baker, and make cake the most often after finding out that it’s Elliot’s favorite.

- Elliot is the only person Chance is comfortable taking their sunglasses off around

- Chance can knit, and decided to try embroidery one day. This resulted in the flame and star patterning on Elliot’s clothes

- Chance likes pineapple on pizza. Elliot actively despises this, but his mindset of “the customer is always right” overrides him actually voicing this.

- Chance saves any doodles that Elliot draws

- Elliot has a “lucky coin” in his pocket from Chance

- Chance gets flustered easily and Elliot finds it funny to whistle at him, because it always catches Chance off guard.

- Very much yapper x listener

- Loud noises usually make Elliot anxious / worried because he thinks Chance blew up again

- Elliot is taller!

- Chance would play and write songs for Elliot on the piano if there was one in Forsaken.

- Elliot calls Chance his “shooting star” sometimes

- The two usually hover around each other during rounds

- Chance runs cold, while Elliot runs hot- usually resulting in Chance cuddled up against Elliot

- Chance is aware of how draining the rounds are on Elliot, and the whole “can’t mentally afford to burnout” thing. They try their best to get Elliot to take breaks.

^ this is really difficult due to Elliot’s work ethic and wanting to help people.

^^ Which is another reason Chance tends to cuddle up against him; Elliot is forced to take a break.

- Chance likes to kiss the freckles on Elliot’s face

- Elliot traces patterns on Chance’s arms

- Chance’s love language is physical touch, while Elliot’s is quality time!

^ Honestly Elliot is just happy to be around Chance

- Chance has burned himself trying to help Elliot cook- they don’t realize that Elliot has a high pain tolerance, and has a built up resistance to heat on his hands.

- They both have scars from explosions! Chance from his gun, and Elliot from the few times a coworker put a soda in the oven.

- They actually met before ending up in Forsaken! It was at a party of sorts when they were younger. Neither realize this; they do however feel like they’ve met before. Just don’t know why.

- Chance is aware of Elliot’s dislike towards 007n7- and they’ve heard the rant a few times

- Chance is one of the few people Elliot would let pick him up- he prefers his feet on the ground most of the time

- Elliot has nightmares about not being able to save his teammates. He doesn’t talk about them, but he usually cuddles with Chance a lot after that.

^ Chance never asks why, because Elliot won’t tell him, so he just offers silent support

^^ This is one of the few times Elliot seeks out physical comfort

- On that note; Elliot isn’t exactly a physical person. He’s not a fan of being touched. Chance is the exception.

- The two dance together sometimes!

I have more but this feels like it’s,, too long.

I hope you enjoyed!

- ⚠️

I don't mind the length of headcanons, if you need to talk then talk! I'm your listener! Anyhow, these are some of the cutest paycheck headcanons I've heard in a WHILE, I enjoy these ideas of them joking around and just in general having fun messing with eachother! This is all so wholesome,, they seem like they'd be a very kindhearted couple to eachother oh my stars! If you do wish to speak more, don't be afraid!

Anywho, the idea that Elliot just draws for Chance is WONDERFULLY adorable!! AND the DANCING??? YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MY HEART SQUEAL HERE!!

[dragqueenstarscream]

if ur comfortable doing this, how would tfone starscream feel about an autistic reader? i’d love to know, especially as one myself

(i'm autistic too, don't worry!)

in all honesty, starscream... doesn't really care.

that's not necessarily a bad thing. to him, it's just another human thing to get used to. he's not dismissive of it. he doesn't belittle you for it. he doesn't try to hide it. it's just... there. another thing about you, like your softer skin or how small you are compared to him.

he really only noticed something was different about you when he saw you stimming with your hands at one point. the conversation went about like this:

"what are you doing?"

"oh, um... i'm stimming? i do it when i get anxious. it helps me calm down."

"is that a human thing?"

"sort of? i'm autistic, so i tend to do that a lot."

"autistic? what's that?"

"it means i have autism. it's a disability. my brain works different from other people."

"oh... is it fatal or something?"

"no, thankfully."

"alright then."

and that's about it. he didn't press any further, because to him, it's a human thing, and that's all he needs to know. though, it does help explain some of your behaviors. if he ever sees you doing something he hasn't seen in other cybertronians, all he has to do is ask, "is that your... your thing? whatever it's called?" and wait for an answer. if you say yes, then he's satisfied.

it's kind of nice, honestly. he views it like frame differences in cybertronians. some fly, some roll, some do both, and every frame has different needs. to him, maybe you're a different frame from some other humans. it's not a perfect analogy, but it works for the two of you.

[the-s1lly-corner]

Hello! May I please request headcanons for Ragatha and Caine with a reader who is clingy but fears that they’re being annoying so tends to back off and be anxious about showing affection a lot?

Caine and Ragatha x clingy!reader who gets anxious about it

Unrelated to this post but I love seeing some people flip around from hating after episode 2 to loving him again after episode 3 LAMO/lh/j

Notes: reader is GN, written on mobile, almost forgot to add ragatha because uhuh my brain didnt register her in the ask but I caught it before I finished writing!!

Cws: none

CAINE

Theres next to nothing you can do to make him annoyed with you! Hes absolutely head over heels for you and everything you do!

Physical touch goes a long way for him because that's like... one of THE love languages that you see so he understands what you're trying to communicate when you kiss him or snuggle up into him

And he loooooooooves when you hang onto him, the two of you are basically glued together

Will still zip around in the air while you cling onto him, hes more than willing to continue on with his own thing as you hold onto him

He doesnt really understand why you get anxious and withdrawl from him.... did he do something wrong?

Will get to the bottom of things and find out what's going on with you- very.... persistent...

He almost looks like a kicked puppy when you confess that you feel you're being too clingy- it almost snaps you out of it to sse him hurt

He makes it very clear that you're not being too clingy or "too much" and that he quite likes how affectionate you are with him!

He amps up his own initiation with affection to balance it out so you dont feel bad about your own actions- it anything he might become the overwhelmingly clingy one!

RAGATHA

Her personal love language is words of affirmation and acts of service as well as gift giving... but shes not going to turn down spending time with you or a hug!

When she feels like it's too much or she doesnt want to be touched in that moment she makes sure to communicate that to you in a way that's mindful of your feelings

She already does this before knowing of your anxiety, but she definitely keeps it in mind after learning about it

So so reassuring, you're not doing anything wrong- it's not like you're going out of your way to ignore her boundaries, in fact you might not have even crossed them in the first place

She gives you time to sort things out on your own but she lets you know shes in your corner, encourages you and reaffirms that she loves you and knows you dont mean any harm

[holywizardheart]

How people perceive you?

This reading is for entertainment purposes so don't take it too seriously. Try to concentrate on yourself and pick intuitively one of these gifs. Hope yall enjoy my short tarot reading ;)

1 Pile

People can perceive you as intimidating and scary in some way. They can have chilling thoughts about you that may make them anxious and afraid to form personal connections. I can see that some of them can overthink and see you through the lengths of rose-colored glasses. Others can just view you as a threat or someone really hard to get along with on friendly terms. Moreover, people can keep their distance from you due to their inner doubts and fears that can be present in their minds. Also, I can point out that people can make a deep analysis or calculations of your personality before introducing themselves to you. For some of you, people may try to avoid your presence because they feel unsafe around you.

2 Pile

I can clearly say that people can show their curiosity and interest towards you. Maybe make some grand gestures or take action to get to know you as a person. It can also play off as something that you weren’t even expecting at all like people randomly trying to talk to you or have some little chat out of a sudden. Some of them can perceive you as someone unpredictable and extraordinary like “try to guess what am I gonna do next”. People can feel confused about your image like you can act differently on various occasions. Maybe they may have a hard time finding out information about you because they usually contradict each other.

3 Pile

From this card, I can tell that people can perceive you as someone who is goal-oriented and has a lot of courage and passion. Someone who comes across as extremely motivated and takes a lot of steps to achieve their goals. However, people may also view you as stubborn and fixed in their principles that can’t be changed. My way or the highway type of mindset I’m noticing from this card. I can also note that you don’t give up on your aims easily and try your best to accomplish them even though you face a lot of obstacles and challenges in your journey. People can definitely highlight your determination and high willpower in your personality. On the other hand maybe for some of you, it can play out as being strongly attached to the past or hard time letting go of past experiences.

4 Pile

I don’t know why but people can perceive you as someone greedy and stingy with their material resources. People can notice your interest in the material world and high concentration on the money aspect of life. It sort of sounds like you’re the material girl in people’s eyes. People may think that you have ulterior motives that you’re trying to conceal for some reason. You tend to hide a lot about your goals and generally about your personal life. I guess you don’t like to reveal about yourself at all. Plus I can also mention a deep attachment to things that you personally value and it can be hard to let them go. Maybe it’s because you really appreciate stability and security in your life.

[shiny-jr]

I read the ignihyde update, and idk if it was just my mood that day or your writing this chapter but i tell ya i breezed right through it. it flowed so nicely i was like "bruh, i dont even like the hercules movie that much but now im interested in watching it again"

the way you wrote idia was also interesting and it made me remember that although he's a sad sack, he is also quite normal and snarky. like, the dude refers to himself as a nerdy freak but really he's just a nerd and not really a freak, and i think you really captured and portrayed that idea very well.

also it wasnt until i reached the end and i was really absorbing everything i read and then i thought about ortho being "pain" in the pain and panic duo and i realized "oh THAT'S why he's so violent and like relishes in torturing others and is so graphic" that was a GENIUS move. like, ortho IS violent in-game, and really casual about his lasers and like exacting revenge on students who wrong him (can't remember if that was dorm uniform vignette or not), so of course the role of Pain really fit him seemlessly.

it was a fine addition to the damnation series. good luck with diasomnia!

Hold on. What do you mean you don't like Hercules? It is legit one of the best movies of the Disney Renaissance age. The only movie that tops it, hands down, without any debate, is The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I need to calm down.

Yes, Idia. Okay, so I noticed a few comments on my last post in regards to the topic of Idia. When I said, "Hot take, y'all. I'm about to say it. I'm tired of nervous stuttering Idia." I meant that others tend to write him like that, and it really gets boring because it happens so much! I mean, I was never a big fan of it in the first place, but yeah, just clarifying what I meant. Spice it up a bit, you know what I mean? He's much more than just an anxious mess.

As for Ortho, I'm so glad people are appreciating how I wrote him, because that little dude is most definitely not normal. Sort of related to my complaint of how people write Idia, most people write Ortho as just this cheery little guy and they blatantly ignore how terrifying he really is. I mean, we've seen mention of it and even moments throughout several events and parts of the story. Really, making him one of the imps just made sense. Add to the fact that the imps do some really horrible things in the movie and such, and how Ortho is not above wrecking havoc in order to achieve his goals, it just fit together so perfectly.

BTS Jungkook Birth chart analysis

Based on my opinions and observations. Not an expert. May change later.

September 1st, 1997

Busan, South Korea

3:25 PM

☀️♍️, 🌙♍️, ⬆️♑️

Sun, Moon, and Mercury are in Virgo, giving him a Virgo stellium. He is detail oriented, helpful and reliable, and incredibly hard working, not a slacker at all. The downsides are that he's likely very critical on himself and others (but more likely on himself; Virgos are just...a little too self aware lol), perfectionistic, nitpicky, and can be an overthinker. E.g the time he was crying about a small mistake he made on stage that the other members hadn't seen at all. They all sit in the 8th house as well and form conjunctions to each other (sun conjunct moon and mercury, moon conjunct mercury)

Virgo Sun in 8th is very private and maybe even shy. Jungkook's not really an extrovert tbh, he has a small circle and is often seen hanging out with the same few friends. This placement is quite picky with who they choose to let into their life - they have to be extremely sure they can trust you to completely let you in their inner world.

Moon in 8th is an intense placement. Very strong feelings here. Having a Virgo moon though should help calm the intensity a little or at least help him navigate his feelings in a more structured way. Virgo moons tends to analyze and rationalize their thoughts and feelings. This could explain why Jungkook's never been the type to openly show his deeper feelings. This house can be transactional and Virgo is a sign of service, so he may find security in helping/servicing others. And people like to reciprocate the helpful energy for him too.

Mercury in 8th is a deeply curious and investigative placement. Virgo mercury is especially detailed - nothing gets past Jungkook. It's known he lurked around in fandom space on tiktok and twitter, so he most likely knows all the jokes and other things the fans talk about. This placement wants to understand things deeply.

Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter are in 1st house. Neptune (illusions) and Uranus (unpredictable and constant change) can make a person chameleon-like in terms of appearance and Jungkook is versatile in fashion. It could explain why it was a bit confusing to guess his rising sign.

Jupiter in 1st - puts in a lot of effort into everything he does, may sometimes overdo things. Tries to be optimistic and upbeat, wants to enjoy life to the fullest.

Libra Venus is domicile and in 9th. Curious and knowledge seeking, especially curious about new cultures and places

Mars Scorpio in the 10th is very passionate and ambitious. Very determined to succeed in his career and reach all the goals he sets for himself. His motto "I would rather die than live without passion" is a perfect example of this placement.

Saturn in 3rd - some sort of challenge with communication. This placement can be very shy and maybe even a bit self conscious, socially anxious. Jungkook was incredibly shy when he was younger - iirc he would even cry when asked to sing and used to be so shy around the members predebut in general.

Pluto in 11th - a strange tense relationship with the idea of friendship. He didn't have much close friends when he was young and going to a whole new city made him even lonelier. However meeting BTS gave him friendship, which helped his loneliness a lot. They even helped him get over his shyness and support him with anything he does. He cares very deeply about them, even crying when they were talking about the struggles they were going through. He considers them his family, which makes sense since he was basically raised by them. He himself is quite influential as well (a given as he's a huge celebrity though) and can pretty much make anything he likes and anywhere goes become very popular.

Chiron in 10th - worried about how his image and reputation is perceived by others. Considering how incredibly shy Jungkook was when he was younger, it's not surprising he may have had a lot of self doubt about his journey to being an idol (along with the very self critical Virgo stellium. Chiron in 10th + Virgo stellium is careful and perfectionistic in order to have a good image). There may be issues of self esteem and power (mainly with authority and/or with himself) within his life.

With North Node in 8th though, it pushes Jungkook to be more open to create relations with others. He doesn't have to do everything alone - he should learn to rely on others and be comfortable being more open, both mentally and emotionally.

Capricorn rising is a little surprising ngl...However, I think it explains his physical features well. His eyes (I've noticed many Cap placements have big eyes), his face structure, and especially his hair. Capricorn rising hair is always very noticeable considering Capricorns rule hair. And like most earth risings, he can be down to earth and reserved - he keeps to himself a lot. Definitely very hard working like a Capricorn, ambitious and strives for success.

His Libra MC could be why many people thought he was a Libra rising. It is at 29°, a Leo degree, so that could also explain why people thought he could have been a Leo rising too. Libra mc is artsy and creative, which shows in his art skills in drawing, photography, and editing. Obviously his singing and dancing as well. It's apparent in his fashion too: experimenting with his hair styles, his sleeve tattoo, his piercings, and darker yet neat clothing style.

ENJOY!

"Can I have two vodka shots, please?"

A beautiful guy sat on the stool right on front of you. His hair was dark and kind of fell before his eyes. His skin was pale and you noticed a little red mark on the side of his face, looking like a birthmark. His shoulders were tense and his leg bounced up and down rapidly. He must feel nervous or anxious, you figured. You gave him a smile and nodded, filling two shotglasses with straight vodka. The guy thanked you and put some money down and immediately after he took both shots. "Re-fill, please."

"Wow, you must have a rough night," you say as you re-fill the shot glasses. "You shouldn't shot too much vodka though." "I know the exact amount of vodka I can handle, thank you," he says, putting more money down. He shots the vodka again and sighs deeply.

You keep watching him as you're making a martini cocktail for another customer. You had never seen this guy around before, while you usually tend regulars. The guy thanked you again and left the bar, leaving you a little confused, wondering who he was.

A few nights later he showed up again, sitting down on the same stool. You walked up to him and smiled. "Good evening," you greeted him. "Hey, could I get a scotch on the rocks?" "Sure," you nodded, making his drink.

You watched him drink it but he seemed not to like it very much. "Something wrong with your drink, sir?" "No, no, I just... I don't usually drink alcohol. It's not my thing. But I kinda need it right now." You nodded, understanding where he comes from. A lot of people who come to the bar for drinks come to forget about their current situation.

"What's bugging you?" You asked. "Honestly? I feel like I'm at a dead end,'' he sighed. ''A dead end? About what?'' He then started to explain he's a Physics student at the university nearby and his research is failing. ''I was so sure, you know? I was so sure I'd have a breakthrough but all my inspiration is just gone. I've got nothing and the deadline is coming up soon. I'm just... stuck and I can't get over it.''

''Well then get on top of it, of someone,'' you grinned, ''Let your stress out.'' ''I don't have sex,'' he stated, sipping from his glass. You looked at him, intrigued. ''You do not have sex? Are you a-sexual?'' ''Oh, no, not necissarily. Well. I don't really know actually. I haven't paid attention to those sort of things. It is not like I do not want sex though. I would... But no one really likes me or anything so I stopped caring a while ago. It is what it is you know?''

You frowned and looked at him up and down to which he gave you a questioning look. ''What?'' ''Well,'' you sighed, ''I just can't understand how people don't like you. You're kind. You're hot. What's there not to like?'' ''Well, the fact that I am a virgin,'' he said quietly. ''I don't know why people care about those things, I sure don't.''

The guy looked at you, with hopeful, big brown eyes. ''You don't?'' ''No, I don't think it is right to judge someone for being a virgin. I don't care about that stuff.'' ''So you'd have sex with me?'' The two of you were quiet now. ''You want me to have sex with you?'' you grinned as you cleaned some glasses, ''Are you sure about that?'' ''Well I... I'd like to try it and you just said I'm handsome right? And that you do not mind my virginity. You said it might help, right?''

You laughed. ''You're really endearing. What's your name?'' ''Oh, I apologize, how rude of me. I'm Kang Yeosang.'' ''Nice to meet you Yeosang, I'm Y/N. You'll need that when you're moaning out my name tonight after I'm done with my shift,'' you smirked. Yeosang swallowed thickly, biting his lip. ''Really?'' ''Really. I get off at 11, wait for me? I'll take you to my place, it's right down the street.'' Yeosang nodded and politely waited, drinking his bitter whiskey.

A while later you approached him again when your shift had ended. You took his hand and giggled at his shocked expression. ''Come with me cutie.'' Your seductive voice made Yeosang's hormones rage through his body. In a matter of minutes you got into your apartment, taking off coats and shoes and you took him to your couch.

''Have you kissed before, Yeosangie?'' He nodded shyly, ''A long timeago, but yes, I have... I know how that part works. It's the part after that I don't know.'' You nodded and pulled him close. You pressed your lips against his and God, were they soft. He looked so clean and polished and he probably took good care of his lips too. How else would they be this soft? They were so warm too, making you completely melt into the kiss. His lips parted slightly, allowing your tongue to slip inside his mouth.

You pressed your body onto his and he tensed up, probably never have felt this before. You pulled back and ran your hand through his hair. ''Never felt a woman's body before, have you, Yeosangie?'' He shook his head, swallowing thickly. He was already growing a raging boner in his pants that needed to be freed. You palmed his crotch and his cheeks heated up, growing red. ''It's okay, Sangie, I'm gonna take care of you. No reason to be afraid, okay?'' He nodded and took a deep breath to relax himself.

Standing up, you took him to your bedroom for more comfort. He sat down on the edge of the bed, looking around curiously as you got on your knees in front of him. He blushed when your gentle hands travelled up his thigh towards his zipper. You grinned at the bashful boy as you opened up his corduroy pants. Your heart was racing with excitement when you pulled his pants and boxers down, revealing his hard, girthy length.

''Look at that,'' you breathed out, your hot breath fanning over the tip of his twitching cock. ''I-I'm sorry if-'' ''No. You're perfect the way you are, Sangie, you're never gonna apologize for your body, you're beautiful, I promise,'' you assured him before he could say any more. He nodded and then took his sweater off. To your surprise he was more muscly than you'd expect. ''You look like a greek God, Yeosang, I swear. Except your cock is much bigger,'' you smirked.

He blushed again, to which you laughed soundly. ''Y/N, don't embarrass me!'' Yeosang whined. ''I'm sorry angel, I'll make you feel good now.'' You took off your top, revealing your black lacy bra before you took his cock into your hand. You gently slid your tongue over the tip of his dick while looking Yeosang in the eyes. He whimpered softly and bit his lip, full of anticipation. ''Don't worry about lasting long baby,'' you commented before you took him into your mouth.

Your lips parted beautifully around his cock and he grunted at the sight of it. Bobbing your hair up and down, you coated his long shaft with saliva. You hollowed your cheeks and sucked while your hands fondled his balls. ''Y/N, oh God,'' he moaned out, leaning back a little. One of his hands ran through your hair and by the heavy twitching of his dick you knew he would definitely not last long. But considering he was a virgin and new to all this pleasure you did not mind at all, in fact, you were proud you're able to get him off so quickly.

In a matter of seconds his moans grew louder and he burst, spilling himself into your mouth. You let go of his cock and swallowed his cum with a smirk as you watched him regain his breath. ''God, You are amazing Y/N,'' he smiled. You grinned and got up, undressing yourself until you were naked in front of him.

''Take a good look if you want, Sangie,'' you said as he admired your bare body. ''You're beautiful,'' he smiled, and you knew it was genuine. ''Do you wanna touch me?'' you asked. Yeosang looked nervous and he looked down. ''I don't know how to do all that...''

You caressed his cheek softly and he looked back at you again. ''Honey, I can teach you all that. Let me ride you first, hm? We've got time,'' you assured him. Yeosang nodded and laid against your pillows. ''Like this?'' he asked. You nodded and took a condom from your drawer, rolling it down his shaft. ''Perfect, babe.''

Yeosang put his hands on your hips when you positioned yourself on top of him. ''Are you ready, Yeosang?'' ''Yes, I am... I want you,'' he breathed out, his hands running up to your breasts, cupping them gently. You smiled at the sweet boy, knowing you were about to take his virginity and teach him about all the kinds of pleasure you could bring each other.

You let yourself sink down on his cock, moaning at the stretch of him inside you. ''Look at that baby, you fit so well, such a pretty cock for me to ride, for me to fuck,'' you moaned when you started rolling your hips. Yeosang moaned and threw his head back, overwhelmed with the pleasure of being inside your wet cunt. Even with the condom on he felt like he got swallowed in by your warmth, like electricity in his body. You fucked yourself on his cock, bouncing up and down just the way you liked it.

''How's that baby? How does that feel?'' you panted out. He just nodded eagerly as he whimpered, overwhelmed with pleasure. The sound of your skin slapping together was like music to your ears. ''You know what you can do baby?'' His eyes met yours when you took one of his hands and pressed his fingers on your exposed clit. You cleaned back slightly to give him a clearer view of your pussy.

''Rub here, circle it,'' you told him, and Yeosang quickly obeyed. He rubbed your clit in circles and switched from slow to fast from time to time as you kept moving up and down his cock. ''Oh that's it baby, so good for me, such a good boy!'' ''Fuck, Y/N, I t-think I'm coming again! I'm gonna come!'' ''Come for me, Sangie, rub my clit fast and we'll come together, hm? Harder baby, yes that's it, that's it! Fuck you're such a good boy, I'm coming with you baby, right there, right there!''

With only a single movement you felt an orgasm wash over you and you moaned out his name. Yeosang whimpered and twitched inside you as your pussy clenched down on him. He spilled his cum into the condom and panted out your name. ''Fuck,'' he cursed. He looked so beautiful, all fucked out you swore he did look like a Greek God.

''You've been so perfect, little scientist boy,'' you grinned as you got off his cock. ''Ah, don't call me that, aren't I a man now?'' he laughed cutely. You grinned and shook your head. ''No. Virginity doesn't determine your manliness baby, don't worry about that. You're all man.'' ''Well... This man really enjoyed it... Thank you for doing this for me.'' ''Well thank you for letting me and giving me a good time too. What about a second round of getting physical right away?'' ''Y/N. That's a horrible pun but I'll take it.''

Hello! Are you willing to do an Offerman x reader, where the reader is immortal since the 1550s and has a hard time getting close to others?

Hello! I'm writing this as though Reader is an immortal human, as it wasn't specifically mentioned, I hope that is alright! I hope you enjoy!

Homeboy is interested in you immediately. I've said before that Fen is drawn to interesting and unique people, and becoming immortal and being able to survive in the Underworld for sure makes you interesting in his eyes. However, as much as he wants to rush up to you and ask you a ton of questions, he takes his time and reigns it in. It's obvious to anyone around you that you seem anxious and shy around others, so he does his best to gradually worm his way into your life, like a true gentleman. He would start slowly, simply greeting you when you passed each other, and then working up to small talk, and then conversations, and then asking to hang out sometime. The plan is simple, but he executes it over a very, very long period of time so you don't get stressed out by it.

Once you finally accept Fen into your life, he's so excited by it. He does admire you for being able to survive so long (technically even longer than he's been alive in my canon), and I feel like he would have deep discussions with you about your life, events you lived through, thoughts about certain things that have happened. It can be hard for even demons to progress with times changing over hundreds of years, so he worries about if you were able to handle something like that. He truly wants to get to know you as well as he can, so he tends to be glued to your side like a lost puppy once he's allowed into your space. He continues to always respect your boundaries of course, and step in if necessary if someone else is disrespecting them, as he's grown to care about you so much, and he hates to see you uncomfortable. Once the two of you start dating, he sort of officially becomes your guard dog, always looking out for you and helping you in any situation should you need him to do so.

If you'd like to come out of your shell more, let people in besides just him, he's more than willing to help you get to know people, much like how he got to know you in the first place. I feel like he definitely introduced you gradually to his brothers and his mother at least, because family is so important to them, and they are also incredibly respectful of your boundaries. I feel like Fen is just a good buffer in general, and that he has this ability to make people relax and have a good time. However, if you'd like to live life without lots of company, that's also fine by him as well. You've already lived all these hundreds of years just fine, so he trusts your gut if you feel like you're doing alright, and you don't want to venture out of your shell any more than you already have. So long as he can continue to stay by your side, Fen is content to go along with anything you'd like. The Underworld can be an overwhelming place, and I can see him regularly checking in with you to make sure that you're doing okay. For someone like you to have become immortal can be a very rough experience, as not many mortal creatures can handle the change well, but you have made it this far just fine, and so he's proud of you. He's always proud to know that you allowed him into your life and that you allow him to protect you, and he will continue to do so for as long as you allow him.
