#but people interpret it in one (normally farfetched) way and will attack you if you dont agree with them!!

[rat-rosemary]

Jesus is such a chill and fun character and his story had some really cool and intense scenes and art and themes (tho it's a bit gory, so I get it's not for everyone) but he got really bad luck with the fandom :[

Like, I get being hiperfixated on something, but that doesn't mean you get to be disrespectful of other fandoms right? And they're so weird about shipping and smut and etc....

Jesus I'm sorry you should be enjoying a thousand fanarts of old man yaoi and some incredible angst fics about your Daddy issues but your fandom is so weird about you and completely ignore cannon for their weird fanon headcannons :[

Hi domeyashiro, thanks for the summary. But by the way, t has been bothered for a while but your words here:

"He also seems to have caught on Yashiro bad eyesight...... Doumeki is confusing the hell out of him with his new sassiness ......... But it’s also sad to see how Yashiro seems to think that the Doumeki he fell in love with doesn’t exist anymore."

Does it really mention anywhere in the chapter or they are simply your own personal thought/interpretation/perspective after reading the chapter? Thanks in advance for replying

If you’ve read the summary you can probably answer this question yourself. But just to be clear: Everytime I use vague expressions like “he seems”, “I guess”, “probably” and so on, it means that those are my own conclusions. I’m not going to write “Hey, this is what I think” after every other sentence. ;) It’s also extremely rare for anyone in Saezuru to explicitly state how they feel. Sensei always tries to convey emotions indirectly and/or through pictures, so every statement I make about the emotional state of the characters is usually just my interpretation.

But Sensei gives us clues where she can. When Yashiro is having trouble to open the door twice while Doumeki is standing right behind him watching his every move, I think it’s not too farfetched to assume that he noticed something is wrong with him. He knows that Yashiro never had any similar problems before.

And it’s also pretty obvious that Doumeki confuses the heck out of Yashiro if you ask me. Yashiro is not a clumsy person at all. Yet he misses the doorknob and stumbles right after Doumeki’s question. That’s just not something that happens to him without a reason. The only times he ever stumbled before was when he was almost fainting from blood loss. And it’s not just because of his blind eye either, because he’s perfectly able to hide his handicap from others under normal circumstances. He only ever misjudged the distance to an object once, when Nanahara held the door open for him in ch. 36. It was Sensei’s way of giving us a hint that something is wrong with his eye, even before it was mentioned in the text. And this time she’s hinting at his mental state when he’s suddenly getting clumsy. Doumeki’s question startled him, as his reaction clearly shows. After Doumeki caught him, he could have said something like “Whoa, thanks!” because he could have seriously hurt himself. Instead he totally ignores that he almost fell, and instead turns around to ask if Doumeki was joking. He doesn’t even bother to get up first, just hangs there naked in his arms looking at him like “WTF?”. That’s the most genuine reaction we’ve seen from him in a while. It’s almost cute how surprised he is.

Later in the bath he also reacts confused when Doumeki accuses him of sleeping around. It’s not like Doumeki to openly judge him, and it’s even rarer for Yashiro to be at a loss for words when people attack him. So when he doesn’t immediately react, it’s usually because a comment was totally unexpected. And Doumeki surprises him a third time when he suddenly slams the door open a few minutes later. Yashiro doesn’t even move. He just stands there trying to make sense of the situation. He’s not that quiet when he’s in control of the situation. So his behavior clearly shows that he doesn’t know how to handle this new bold Doumeki.

Now, whether he’s sad because Doumeki isn’t the same anymore, or simply because he misses being close to him, is not so easy to tell. I simply think it’s (at least partly) the former, because Yashiro has been going on about how much Doumeki has changed for two chapters now. In front of Tsunakawa he was still able to sound amused, but after Doumeki’s hurtful comment in this chapter he goes on a full rant, so I’d say he’s pretty upset about it. He never wanted him to be a yakuza after all and did everything he could to stop him from becoming one, only to suddenly realize that all his sacrifices were for nothing. Plus, he always thought that Doumeki’s was cute, especially in how loyal he was to him. He never knew how to deal with him when he suddenly wasn’t cute anymore. Which now seems to be his permanent state, so I’d be surprised if he wasn’t missing cute Doumeki at all. (Although I do admit that I worded it a bit dramatically in my introduction yesterday. But it was 5 a.m. and the introduction was the last part I wrote, so don’t overthink my choice of words.)

Kingdom Chapter 624 Review

The last chapter may not be for everyone, but it is vital. The feud between Houken and Shin was simple as two men want to dominate over personal reasons. Whether it’s out of revenge for the fallen or put an end to their long journey, the stakes have never been so high. With the inclusion of Houken’s backstory, the battle, assumingly to be the grand finale, has become the most epic one yet.

Personally, I enjoyed the backstory and find the Pathseekers and its goal interesting. It did sound farfetched, but there are people that would go through this length to prove a point. It did provide a different light towards Houken’s character without really damaging it. It’s simply a way to justify his action, but it doesn’t mean we have to agree with it. In fact, the opening of the chapter practically reflect the fans’ viewpoint with one man confessing.

Although the story touched their heart, it’s hard to buy the thought and intention of Houken trying to save the world. I recall some fans believing to be ridiculous and that’s fine. Hara-sensei isn’t trying to convince us to think he’s the coolest guy ever, but if you do, then by all means. The point is to justify his persona and how he is completely consumed by the path; the path to be a Bushin. As I stated before, dedicated to one goal can lead a man to a dark journey. For those who felt displeased with less action material last time, then the good news is, this chapter not only delivers an enticing action, but it’s purely stellar.

From the moment of the chapter’s title with the hard swing by Houken, the exhilarating ride doesn’t stop. Once again, Hara-sensei is great at choreographing the action, bringing out the intense sensation and gripping storyboard. Shin gets knocked badly by the swing, alarming everyone that his life is in peril. Luck or not, he gets back up in time to block. It was a hell of a rush for that sequence alone. It intensifies when Houken pushes Shin down with his Glaive; that’s just insane. Speaking of insane, Shin narrowly escapes the killing blow, just by a hair. I know he’s the protagonist and he won’t die, but I’ll be lying if I say my heart wasn’t pounding quickly.

The air breathing come to a screeching halt when Shin takes a real bad slash to the chest region. I was close to be convinced that he was going to be cut in half. The thought of plot armor somehow flew off of my head. That’s a sign of great investment; clearly, I was absolutely sold. Fortunately, he wasn’t cut in half, but enough to knock him down. The whole page of interpreted defeat is such a downer. Thankfully, the following page is such an inspiration. Shin getting back up after what could have been the end is awe-inspiring. The blood and armor pieces coming down and seeing the back only is all you need to know the incredible willpower.

Houken’s backstory greatly benefit this battle. While it maintains the foundation of two greatest opposing forces, it did gain a new meaning. Since Houken represents mankind according to Riboku, Shin however represent mankind as well, or more accurately, they as in humanity. It may felt like Shounen, but the impact is well-pronounced.

It’s better with the inclusion of all humanity. That way, the fans can look at the battle as the representation of mankind; what is the righteous belief. It’s not that Shin is the chosen one, but he is the most capable opponent for Houken; opposing threat for his path. The weight has grown tenfold with the belief on the line. Needless to say, this battle has become deeper, and I’m loving every moment of it.

The most jarring scene is when Shin blocks Houken equally. It sounds kind of funny without context, but when you have invested for such a long time, the moment would be monumental. The spread with the block is remarkable to look at; almost surreal to be honest. What I really like is how the illustration of Houken’s Glaive has become “normal” to the eyes. Normally, it’s drawn to be the most devastating weapon of all time. Once Shin blocks it, no longer does it feel as weighty. It’s like seeing a monster on movies as a kid; once you learn the effect, it’s no longer scary.

The moment gets even better. If blocking equally wasn’t unbelievable enough, Shin actually begins to overpower Houken. That’s no exaggeration. I was honestly amazed and shocked; made a face with a huge gasp. It somehow gets even better when Houken sees a shadow behind Shin; the shadow of Ouki. That panel is amazing; just amazing. This has to be the endgame; it can’t recapture the greatness like this, though I could be wrong.

Houken wasn’t having it, so he shoves him back and kick with sheer force. Then, he goes completely mad, trying to kill with crap load of attacks while Shin is on the ground. I got tons of chills. Shin is barely holding on, but damn, it becomes unsettling when it looks like he’s losing conscious. It’s been over 600 chapters, yet Shin somehow manage to bring the underdog’s spirit that can easily get fans rooting for him. All hopes appear to be lost, but amazingly, Shin gets back up and parries the hard swing on his knee. This is one of the reasons why this series continue to sell like hotcakes, let alone easily gets boosted.

I love the reversal role with Houken being so bewildered at Shin’s performance, asking, “What are you?” If you recall before, Shin asked the same thing to Houken prior to the epic battle. What I also love is Shin’s response. The previous chapter did insert more depth to the battle, but the foundation left unharmed. Shin is not there to prove humanity is correct with the way things are or become their lord and savior. He’s here today, alive and kicking, because he’s a Great General of the Heavens. Wonderful. That’s how it should be; simple yet engaging. Nothing has changed. Shin is Shin; better with the upmost confidence on his goal status. For it to be the volume closer, it couldn’t end better.

This was an outstanding chapter. The action was top notch quality. Trust me, I could only summarize and react here, but the artwork, the storyboard, the narrative, and so forth were magnificent. I read it so many times and each time, I’m still appalled on what I just witnessed. Shin versus Houken has been brilliant so far; loving every second of it. I believe Hara-sensei will deliver the overall tremendously. Whether it ends this year or the next, the future is greatness.

Hi! I hope your readings are still free? I've been dying to know if my crush Mujaahid A. Still likes me? It's those types of crushes that just won't go way 🙄 Also, I would like to know if I should talk to him? And does he like anyone else other than me? Thanks 💛

Yes they are still free! they just take me a bit to do since there’s a lot of detail in them (which is why I’ve thought of doing some paid one’s. it takes a lot out of me doing 12+ 3 or more card readings like i normally end up doing once i get rolling and get people asking for readings lol)

I hardly had to do any work with you’re reading lol, my deck kept flipping cards for you on its own.

Does he still like you

The Sun symbolizes many things depending on how you look at it. The ancients saw the sun as the giver of life and light, and almost every polytheistic faith has a Sun God. It brings light and clarity after a period of darkness and confusion, and in this sense the Sun God is often a redeemer as well; a bringer of peace and good times after ordeals. Finally, the Sun is a symbol of steadfastness and reliability, for no matter how bleak your situation may seem, no matter how many problems you have, the Sun will still rise in the morning. All of these attributions, and more, are reflected in the Tarot card that bears the same name as our solitary star.

The light of the Sun is about halfway between that embodied on the Tower  and that shown on the Star. It is not a blinding flash of power but neither is it a subtle glow. It is hot enough to warm but generally not enough to burn. This moderation between extremes is the goal of the spiritual traveler, first shown on Temperance, now entered into full manifestation for us all to see. In this higher state, nothing is beyond your control. In the Rider-Waite deck a powerful symbol illustrates this. The sunfowers in the garden are not turned towards the Sun, as they normally are, but to the child on the horse. He is the one who now holds power over the material world.

The great ordeal of the Moon has passed, and you have emerged into the light, stronger and wiser. War has ended and made way for peace; hatred is replaced by love; fear is overcome by courage. This is truly a time to celebrate! Good triumphing so powerfully over evil is not an everyday occurence in this world, and when it does happen you should be glad that a little more light has entered your life. The rising of the Sun is akin to the completion of the tasks and trials of the night, and the warmth it provides is the reward for not cowering in fear at the darkness, not running away given the chance, and not trying to hide from the wisdom that is rightfully yours.

As a sign of reliability, there is nothing more powerful than the Sun, since no force on Earth (or anywhere else for that matter) can stop the Sun from rising in the morning. In a world of chaos, it is a still point of silence and calm, an assurance that there is some underlying order, some higher power that chooses to bless us and smile upon us each day. Even when clouds fill the sky the Sun is still there, waiting for an opportunity to break through the dark barrier and shine its light for us. Know that in every challenge there is an opportunity, and behind every cloud sits a sun waiting for its chance to be revealed to all.

In a reading the Sun can take on many meanings, though the most predominant one is that of success and completion. It can be a herald of joy, happiness, the birth of a child, a stable family, material prosperity or almost any other end that is positive - but above all it shows completion. One cycle is over and, before the next begins, there is a period of light and relaxation that you can and should properly enjoy. Success comes if you are confident and bold in the use of your creative energy. Glow with the vitality of the Sun whose light is umatched and whose power is absolute.

Such power and clarity are within everyone's grasp, including yours, if you let the light of the Sun illuminate you. If there are areas of darkness lurking inside you, the Sun's rays will expose them so you can integrate them into yourself. Fogs of confusion are burned away with the Sun's fiery sword, and its flames drive away fear and all the terrors of the night. A seemingly hopeless situation will be hopeless no more once the Sun shines down upon the true path, the correct solution. When the Sun appears, let its power amaze and overwhelm you. But do not simply watch - reach up to grasp it, draw its power into yourself. The power of the Sun is true power indeed.

Should you try talking to him

The Seven of Cups often appears when a difficult choice must be made, and the image on most versions of the card reflects that. The seven cups are filled with strange and wonderful gifts... but there is always danger hidden within one or two of them to sting anyone who ventures near. Lying amidst the gems and the wreath of victory are a snake and a dragon. Sometimes you have to choose between many options, all of which may be tempting but only one of which is the best choice. At others times not all of those choices are real options at all; they are delusions of the imagination.

This card generally shows choices and plans that have little or no basis in reality. Such things are typical of the developed imagination, and fine if they stay in the imagination. But when you try to implement those ideas in the real world you are leaving yourself open to inevitable disappointment when you realize that your vision simply does not work. The fortress has no foundation and it will fall with the first enemy attack. Some attainment is indeed possible, but like the sword of Damocles, the inevitability of defeat lingers over your head, waiting to drop and shatter all those castles you have built in the clouds.

Temptation is another theme of this card, and with so many choices presented it would be easy to be swayed to that cup containing the snake of jealously and cunning. Since this card is of the Cups suit we get all the sexual and emotional connotations of temptation; the one-night stand, the extramarital affair, and all those other things that seem innocent and pleasurable at the time they are undertaken. But in the vast majority of cases, the pleasure gained temporarily is far outweighed by the consequences that last, in most cases, for an entire lifetime.

In short, the Seven of Cups is a sign to be vigilant in everyday life. Be on guard against temptation, and before taking any offers be aware of all the potential ramifications. Keep a close eye on your dreams so that they do not get too farfetched and fantastic. When faced with many choices, all of which seem equally attractive, turn to your intuition for guidance. If you still don't know which to take, it might be safer to not take any of them at all! Better to leave the gems than plunge one's hand into a cup full of snakes. If your ethics are questioned, do not go against them, but stand true to your beliefs. Keep your feet on the ground, and your head out of the clouds.

Does he like anybody other than you

The High Priestess is arguably the most difficult of the Major Arcana to qualify with words alone, because so much of her power and ability is veiled in mystery that it is difficult for anyone to fathom it all. Every card in the Tarot speaks differently to everyone, but the Priestess seems to bear the widest range of interpretations, because she speaks directly to the Inner Voice, the unconscious mind. She is the manifestation of the unconscious and the effects of the mysterious in our everyday world. Trying to see how such mysteries work often defeats their purpose, and with this in mind, the High Priestess will be explained in as much detail as possible.

She is, above all else, the base of potential that is the source of the power wielded by the Magician. She is the unlimited potential that allows him to transform and create whatever his Will desires. Understanding this type of balance, as found between potential and creation, masculine and feminine, is the key to unlocking some of the mysteries of the High Priestess. We see the clear progression of the theme of balance; instead of integrating opposites, the Priestess keeps them separate and keeps them in balance nonetheles. She herself is the scales; this symbolism is found in many Tarot decks. Without this balance there can be no power.

The second symbolic motif found in almost all instances of the High Preistess are symbols of the unconscious mind. On the Rider-Waite version this motif is especially prominent, but most decks feature at least some lunar imagery that in turn has ties to the unconscious. Most decks that have the "twin pillars" symbology also depict a veil strung between those pillars; the High Priestess stands between us and that veil as a moderator. Behind the veil lies the powers of the unconscious, which we cannot start to understand but which, through her, we can learn to control. She is the gateway to realms that we may never fully comprehend or master.

While it would be impossible for anyone to learn all of her mysteries and secrets, the High Priestess remains as a guide to those of us willing to venture deep within our minds to discover the true powers hidden deep inside each of us. This is the same power as that depicted on the Magician, but the scope of the Priestess' power is far different. While the Magician focuses his powers outward, to achieve a meaningful effect on the world, the High Priestess shows us that we can also use these powers on an inner level, to enrich and transform ourselves. Such transformations are certainly not as dramatic as the Magician's, but they are almost always more powerful.

The High Priestess represents the mysteries of the unconscious and the Inner Voice, and her appearance is often a sign that your own intuition is trying to send you a message. The unconscious often speaks to us in symbols, so be alert around you for anything that seems out of the ordinary. This said, if you have an important decision to make when the Priestess appears, this is often a sign that the answers will be revealed to you, if you are patient and open to the whispers from within. You simply have to wait and be receptive to inner messages. Her lesson is that everything you need to know already exists within you.

The theme of dualism in the High Preistess cannot be avoided either. She is often a sign of the Shadow, the negative portion of your personality that no one sees, and that you yourself could be unaware of. (In this sense, the term 'negative' does not refer to evil, just the opposite polarity from the positive and expressive part of your personality.) If you accept the Shadow within you, its powers will be open to you if you wish to use them. In most people the Shadow side is the more passive of the two, and the Priestess can therefore advocate a need for passivity in a situation. It is not always necessary to act; sometimes goals can be realized through inaction.

Extra card my deck flipped.

Sometimes, when accepted and welcomed, divine wisdom and enlightenment flow freely like a calm river. The rest of the time, wisdom is blocked until it rages forth like a tidal wave and crushes anything in its path, including the recipient of the wisdom. This is the energy of the Tower card, an energy very similar to Death in that it is both a destructive and a creative force. When a building is old and decrepit, it must be demolished so that a new structure may stand in its place. The same is true of the symbolic Tower. When old attitudes and beliefs are outdated, you will have to let go of them, whether you like it or not. (Harsh but true lol)

In most cases, the latter is true - you do not want to give up your ideals, and you cling to them like a child to his precious security blanket. This attempt at security ensures nothing, really, except a disastrous change that will painfully rip away that which you did not discard of your own volition. But there is a greater purpose at work here. The power of the soul and the mind is far greater than the energy of some physical thing, and it can be taken with you anywhere and always. To extend the security blanket analogy, the blanket must be taken away so the child can find power and security within himself, instead of within some material object.

When you believe material objects are more powerful than spirit and mind, you start building up a Tower of falsehoods on a very unstable foundation. If, by some miracle of engineering, it does not collapse under its own weight, you will eventually push it over yourself. The Tower falls not because Fate says so but because something within can no longer endure the strain it must bear. Sooner or later it will give out. This is a humbling experience because its lesson is that no one is invincible. The problem for most people is that they concentrate on the negatives and ignore the great opportunity that has been given to them.

The fire of the Tower card burns away all that is negative and outdated, but it leaves behind all that is positive, all that is necessary to begin your life again and replace all that was lost. In essence, this is the energy of Death and Temperance combined, because sweeping-away and building-up both happen at about the same time on the Tower. As soon as the tumbling figures on the Rider-Waite card land on the jagged rocks of reality, they are greeted with the influx of wisdom that they need to survive. And with that wisdom in hand, they can take the first step back on the true path to enlightenment: building a mental Tower to Heaven rather than a physical one.

When wisdom must be forced upon you, or when ignorance must be taken away, the Tower will appear to let you prepare yourself. If you choose to let go of what you no longer need, and accept what you do need, things will go much more smoothly and without frustration. If you ignore the warning of the Tower, however, and cling to the status quo, be prpared for a downfall. You have been oversleeping and this is your spiritual wake-up call. When the Tower is in the area, know that anything that seems secure could not really be safe at all. If a change is destined to happen, to not try to fight it, because all change happens because it is needed.

On an inner level, the destruction of Tower is akin to the breaking-down of the fortress called the ego. When you build a wall to hide your secrets or to conceal your true self, you must know that sooner or later the wall will come tumbling down. Fantasies are particularly prone to being shattered by the power of this card; the Tower dissipates them like sunlight burning away fog. Fantasies and daydreams will not help where you are going so it is best to let go of them now. Do not place your faith in illusions of security; the crown on this card must be worn on by a human head, not placed atop a tower of cold stone.

Summary

Seems that overall the situation between you two will end alright for both of you, good or bad outcome you’ll both be fine, so really its up to you if you want to peruse a friendship OR to further the relationship. Since as the seven of cups points out, this path you are headed down is all about choice. it all comes down to making decisions. That goes for both of you. It’s not a one way street it take the two of you coming to an agreement to make things work, or to further them along. At the least they seem to enjoy your company as a friend, so it may still be e benefit for you both to continue on talking and built up a platonic friendship even if nothing romantic comes of it. While romance is nice having someone who loves you that you can rely on, without the pressures of a relationship/sexual interaction. Is a very nice and healthy feeling.

As the Priestess mentions. Everything needs balance. So once again you are being both told, and warned that the outcome of this situation is very hit and miss in places. There’s no way to tell what way it will go unless you act, even if there’s a chance for a negative outcome you have no way of knowing unless you take that risk and go for it. If he doesn’t return your feelings, then hopefully at the least he can continue to be a friend, and maybe he’ll change his mind at a later date. But he also may not. What happens relies on you both to be able to flow well together. Without balance and compromise no relationship, no matter what type, is going to work between you two.

ALL these cards all seem to be referencing the Tower. Not that it’s “bad” but, in a nutshell shit is about to hit the fan, and while the outcome will help you in leading yourself down a better path and clearing out past negativity, It may not be very fun. This COULD either mean this relationship will bring out a lot of things form both of your pasts, and bringing to light things both of you need to mend in your souls. Which could lead to better things for you both, or it may also be a negative experience. Could trigger some bad soul memory that causes you two to drift apart, which by default will likely lead you onward to better things after living through it. But what path this will go can vary and all the cards reference balance and choice. So it seems that what path you take is completely up to you to decide. This is your story, your decision. Imagine it like the “choose your own ending books” the path you choose will decide which ending you get

Forthose who don’t know, I’m doing Shufflemancy, Tarot, Pendulum, and ArchangelOracle card readings. I have the Michael and Gabriel Archangel cards, so if youhave any questions for them feel free to ask. Other rules and guidelines are HERE
