Never surprises me how in the pursuit of ''challenging gender stereotypes/homophobia" we end up in the same spot
"We're deprogramming" no Susan you're still programmed except you cut your hair lmfao
When you see a post about women or gay people that sets off your “terf” alarm, you’re the problem, not the op.
You’re the one that feels the need to closely inspect anything about women or homosexuals to make sure it meets your standards. You’re the one who feels the need to heavily police the language women and homosexuals use, and the topics we discuss. You’re the one who is choosing to view us as malicious until we beg for you to think otherwise.
It’s not anybody’s fault but your own that your knee-jerk reaction to seeing posts about women or homosexuals is to assume they’re morally wrong.
#prev yes exactly ->#‘I think this lesbian is a bad person because she made a post about her experiences’#without putting 50 disclaimers or a statement#at the end saying how special I am and how the post is about me specifically#granted there is annoying genuine terf shit online#but the disclaimer thing is true af#i've had trans 'friends' (who ended up being capital b Bad people) accuse any sort of discourse as 'transphobic'#e.g. 'hey dressing like a 14 year old and saying it's gender euphoria is kinda fetishisty to children'#but also most trans people i know/am friends with are completely understanding to different pov's even when they disagree#so i think it's often a case of 'is this person a shitty myopic asshole or not'#i feel lowkey lucky i'm attracted to any/whatever gender because i get my opinion validated more which is *shitty* but that's how it be#ah well. discourse is over. it dead#watch my ass put disclaimers on this proving op's point lmao we're doomed#i should qualify this person who accused me of being a terf for pointing out sexualization of children ended up being a serial rapist fyi#cw: rape#cw: csa#i didn't mean to derail/get my rb buried but this is a chronic problem i've noticed with certain types#basically 'i became trans for clout/fetish reasons but if you say it yr a terf also i ended up raping mostly trans ppl but i'm i'm so good'#being accused of hating all trans ppl because i challenge rapists is. sigh. and they always get caught but i never get an apology#but i have 'privilege' from being born with a vagina. a'ight#i should qualify 'genuine terf shit' means genocide not gencrit lol#cw: genocide#<- i guess

HOW THE MOON SIGNS ACT WHEN THEY LOVE YOU pt. 1
disclaimer: forgive me if the series doesn’t cover all twelve signs, but i don’t think i’ve known enough people to speak about everyone’s way of loving. please be patient🤗
aries moon/1H
ooooh those little devils🔥😈 you can see the mischievous twinkle in their eyes. they’re children of Ares - the god of war! when they speak of their loved ones it feels as though they’re ready to kill for them any minute, only waiting for the right (or any😂) reason.
(just my observation, please don’t come at me) i believe that these natives are prone to being more loyal, less selfish and flaky than aries venus. aries is known to be 'the baby' of the zodiac, valuing independence and self-fulfilment greatly. however, i’ve noticed aries moons to be devoted af!! you will never catch them bad mouthing a friend or a partner.
also, from my experience, both placements like to fight, however aries venus often does it for own enjoyment, the initial chase turns them on. as for aries moons, they’re more steady. they would go to great lengths for friends and partners. you can call them in the middle of the night and ask the craziest favor, they WILL come and help.
(please keep in mind that i mean unevolved aries venuses that still have a lesson or two to learn!)
PS. they love to be treated like the center of your world, please give them attention💕
taurus moon/2H
hmmmm how do i put it… 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍! i will say that i am biased bc my boyfriend is one and the way he’s attentive, always asks about the details of my day, pays attention to my routines and shows love through acts of service🥹 you’ve probably heard the rumours and they’re true. taurus moons make the best cooks ever. and i don’t mean putting together a couple of cheap pancakes, nuh uh. their sharp senses only let them buy the best quality ingredients and cook with great care. bonus points if they prepare a dish that they know is your favourite!
i will say though, they are not the most verbal lovers. but when they’re in, they mean it. when they say they love you, it becomes a fact so obvious that they don’t feel the need to repeat it over and over. they like to settle into a routine, so don’t expect them to be flaky, send mixed signals and stir things up just to feel something/for fun (sag moons cough cough😅😅).
they also seem brutal sometimes. but i believe it’s because they see honesty as the highest form of trust. they want to feel comfortable with you. they value silence, too. they’re the type to show you their appreciation not by telling you how perfect you are but by actually putting in the work to show you your value and show that they’re worthy of being by your side.
lastly, their homes are their sanctuaries, a reflection of their feelings. usually beautiful and they look for someone worthy of letting in, to match their belongings. they get a rep for being possessive and stubborn, nevertheless with the right person they can make a sacrifice and at least try to change their ways😂😂
virgo moon/6H
okay so i know they’re said to be critical, demanding, neurotic etc but hear me out. virgo is a mutable sign, ruled by mercury and in true mutable fashion they DO get wild, fun and unhinged lol. as a virgo moon myself i am well aware of the fact that i often act like i’ve got a stick up my ass. but when i get closer to you i want it all: karaoke nights, fast car rides, spontaneous trips! sometimes i even take those things to the extreme!
they’re also said to have the highest standards. and while i imagine it’s partly true, i believe that this placement is all about accepting the biggest, weirdest quirks of your s/o (as well as 6th house synastry!).
besides, i think that we get more so insecure and self-critical in relationships, analyzing the f outta our partners, wondering whether we’re meeting their demands! we’re about the overall quality of the partnership and just want it to be perfect🥺 we’re also quite anxious and require lots of reassurance.
lastly, everyone knows it: virgo moons are like the final boss of small acts of service lol. vacuuming your flat, folding your clothes. they notice the smallest things that could improve your life and happily do them for you!
capricorn moon/10H
this one is tricky. they remind me a bit of taurus but more rough in a sense that they probably won’t pamper you with luxurious baths and gourmet food but they will do things like pay your rent, get you a job or buy a car😂. i’ve noticed them to be a bit grumpy sometimes, definitely not the softest lovers.
they’re up to giving some tough love. pushing you into a scary path that they know will be rewarding in the end. teaching you that even in the hardest lessons of saturn there is light. they’re not the most cheerful on a daily basis but - surprisingly- they are the ones that keep calm in the face of crises. they’re like okay we can’t do anything about it now let’s appreciate what we do have and focus on what we can change.
it’s because they know all to well how karma is. they had to learn it the hard way which made them so strong and resilient.
what i’ve personally noticed: they will stick by your side no. matter. what. this isn’t always a good thing as sometimes it’s best to walk away but if you’re expecting a cap moon to give up on you, don’t.
i also feel like they’re used to being the oldest sibling, the mom friend etc. please take care of them from time to time!
that is all i have for you! thank you for reading💕 i wish all of you lots and lots of love💋 see ya
~Michelle

Homecoming Wings Thoughts
Disclaimer: These are purely my interpretations, thoughts, and predictions. You are in no way obligated to agree with me, or even have the same opinion. Do not send me hate messages or correct me unless I made a CANON error. Buckle up buttercups because I am about to take ya'll on a joy ride through my nebulous brain.
Aight aight, that was truly a wild ride, but based off the trailer, we all expected just as much. Now despite EVERYTHING, I'm still going to say, Caleb's obsessive behavior towards the end might have a deeper meaning. I believe Caleb pulled a Snape.
Yes, that's right, a Snape. Now at the very end of Homecoming Wings, Caleb goes on another mission into the deepspace tunnel and essentially tells MC there's a good chance she might not see him again (lol, we know that's not true but anyway). Then in the last part, we see him landing at some sort of base for Ever, where it's revealed that they made some sort of exchange for Caleb, essentially saving his life after the blast and giving him that bionic arm.
Caleb gives the professor information about MC's whereabouts and though this makes him sus af, I believe this is his Snape-ness showing up. In Deathly Hallows, Snape purposely reveals to Voldemort the correct date that Harry was moved from the Dursley's because according to Dumbledore, Voldemort believed Snape to have played his role too well and any misinformation from him would have raised suspicions. Similarly, Caleb purposely leaked as much accurate information to Ever as he could to throw them off the trail. Also, Ever could literally end him if they suspected he was trying to be on MC's side.
That crazy, insane, possessive, weirdly hot scene that everyone is calling Caleb's 'true yandere moment' may have been engineered. While I don't doubt that he might be unhealthily in love with MC, I don't believe he is a true 'yandere' in the sense that he would hurt MC physically or mentally. He may have been showing off his power and saying those crazy things to ensure she doesn't come looking for him again. He might be aware that Ever has turned him into a weapon perfect for killing her, and the only solution he can think of is to get her to stay away from him. He knows he can't do it by himself because any attempt from her to reconnect and he'll buckle (have you seen the yearning in this man's eyes oof).
So it's easier for her to be mistrustful and scared of him rather than him trying to constantly keep her at arm's length. He seemed truly relieved when they were reunited in that first scene and he doesn't seem to show any creepy possessive behavior in his other memories before joining the Farspace Fleet. He knows she's a hunter and that despite her getting injured so frequently, she's a tough woman and can survive anything. Before the kaboom, his complaint was that she wasn't sharing things with him like before, not that she wasn't letting him protect her.
The kids that Ever seemed to be experimenting on. It looks like Grandma Josephine had a change of heart and defected with her team and MC at some point and Ever had been trying to pinpoint them ever since. It reminds me of the experiments Aizen did on hollows to make Arrancars (that's right, ya girl is a Bleach stan). Ever seems to be trying to mutate humans into wanderers but has been unsuccessful because the protocores they're using don't stabilize, and that's why they branched out to Onychinus hoping modified protocores could be the answer, but those also fail. They are stuck, and hence, need MC's heart to figure out why her aether core is stable and theirs isn't.
I legit thought there was going to be a moment where Zayne and Caleb crossed paths. Like what are the chances that Zayne was there for a conference and was also monitoring Mia's case? I was thinking MC was going to call him for help and then he gets the shock of his life when she tells him Caleb is alive.
The chips that were mentioned...maybe Caleb is chipped but not in the way we think. Perhaps his arm hurts him if he doesn't do Ever's will? Kinda like Pettigrew in Harry Potter when Voldemort gives him that silver hand and when he refuses to kill Harry in the end, it chokes him to death and he had no control over it. Hence why Caleb was so reluctant to tell MC about it (Painful Signal).
The events of Exclusive Aftertaste confused me. I don't think this was after the events of Homecoming Wings but before. I think this was after Caleb graduated college and was living in Skyhaven, and MC had also moved out of their grandma's house into her apartment. Perhaps she had been busy with her missions and had quit contacting Caleb as much as she used to? And his insecurity made him visit her? But the ending at the train station...why did he turn her around and tell her to leave and not look back? Was it because he was worried she would be more upset watching him leave? Ugh the angst and longing between these two is killing me.
Overall, I still like Caleb, I think he's a complex character and this was just his intro. We felt suspicious about Sylus as well, but it wasn't until we started getting bond memories and then his limited myth that we really put the pieces together. There is definitely more to Caleb, but I like the idea that Caleb doesn't have a past connection to her and this is his first life with her. It makes their relationship seem so much more purer in a way. I wanted MC to punch him in the face when he said he was leaving though. He just left her, despite knowing how much she didn't want to be left alone. He was the last bit of family she had, and he took that tiny bit of comfort away from her. Super assy move Caleb. (but I still love him).
End rant. Feel free to drop your thoughts, opinions, and predictions either in the comments or my inbox. Thanks for listening to me ramble.

About Dyersfilm’s “leak”
For all of you who don’t know, dyersfilm is an insufferable individual who used to go by the name of swiftlynatalia. She is racist, homophobic, transphobic, and even made fun of her supposed favorite actress’ eating disorder. However, people on Twitter (especially mlvns) entertain her because she had reliable sources during the filming of S4, and after during post production. She had some true leaks, many being the same that Reddit got right, while others only she had. She was also wrong about quite a few things, but generally she was reliable.
It is worth noting though that she is extremely biased against byler (many of the leaks she got wrong for S4 were pertaining their storyline) and absolutely hates the ship.
This time around, she was getting some leaks during the first couple of months of filming to her curious cat, but she herself claimed that these were not reliable leaks whatsoever and that she was pissed because this time she doesn’t have access to the real sources she had for S4. She has complained about this repeatedly for these past few months. The leaks she has gotten tho, many she has mocked and made fun of because they don’t align with what she wants from the show. She also made a “disclaimer” when the show started filming again that she would not be posting leaks about Byler because she hates us all, and yet every single one of those most likely fake leaks she got she posted, and many of them talked about Byler. She would post them and mock them for “clearly being untrue”. She has barely gotten a single Mlvn positive leak this whole time, and when she’s gotten at least something that alludes to them having scenes together she immediately ran to post it and alert all her friends, even tho she herself knows all of these are most likely fake.
For weeks now, her curious cat has been dry af because I guess nda’s are stronger this time, or no one wants to leak shit to her (she’s rude as hell). she posted the following ask 10 days ago. Someone asked her if she knew about any Mike and El scenes and she said no. Keep this in mind for what’s coming next…
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/869b4c5523bb74fbbd6d0002e0e74483/29800c26d7337c60-0e/s540x810/b511e0b6a194467c6e4b970145ec1843e48d50b0.jpg)
Then suddenly yesterday, she alluded to a Jonathan spoiler she’s supposedly pissed about, but refused to post it like she’s done for everything else. People quickly thought it might involve Byler because she said she wasn’t going to post “leaks” about it, even though she had already lol. So they asked her and she said that “yes, it has to do with Byler.”
Then shortly after this someone asked about Mlvn again, this was just today. Again, note how she proceeds to say she knows nothing about Mlvn 😭
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7eb04805d6c2a695918fbff3dca1726b/29800c26d7337c60-f5/s540x810/43f02fad32f5ec1a5f157d8b8a62e64ccba224bd.jpg)
Bylers on Twitter noticed her answers about Mlvn and her comment about a supposed byler leak involving Jonathan and started speculating. She ofc noticed this, and not even after an hour of her saying she knows nothing about Mlvn she goes on to say this.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a67f55877ad66d125db086cb04cf3cb2/29800c26d7337c60-a0/s540x810/059fc957466084ac6ed527bb18d82c8b3827142a.jpg)
….
She knows nothing but somehow she knows Mlvn is stable? The bipolar disorder of these answers could rival my own bipolar.
Mind you, we all know that she would’ve jumped up at the first opportunity to post any leak that implied Will was pining and miserable, her and her friends would’ve had a field day over it. And yet, she only clarifies this after…
Not to mention how utterly ridiculous this all is. They’ve filmed stuff up until episode 4 (from what we know), why the hell would Will be pining and hung up over Mike if Mlvn is endgame? That makes absolutely no fucking sense. They would have him immediately fully patch things up with Mike and move on, not be hung up on someone he can’t have in the middle of an apocalypse. Especially not after the Duffers said he’s getting a happy ending. Will getting a happy ending but still being in love with Mike halfway through the last season with Mlvn being endgame is absolute lunacy.
Especially when you consider the fact that narratively, in a sense, Will has already moved on. He doesn’t expect anything from Mike, he doesn’t think Mike can like him back. He saw Mike confess his love in front of El, he helped that confession happen. Will literally has no problem with Mlvn anymore pls 😭 He saved them!!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d9da721eabe073dac83662c272879419/29800c26d7337c60-29/s640x960/05e4b3a260794981d965a59726c89ad60114f4ce.jpg)
This is the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever read.
Will is somehow upset at Mike not feeling the same way…when Will already believes Mike doesn’t feel the same and doesn’t ever expect any reciprocation 😭
Either she’s wildly twisting this supposed leak out of context to fit her own perceived narrative of what should happen, or she’s straight up lying about this.
And we know she’s lying about Mlvn so…you people decide what you think of this buffoonery lol.
Wait for Reddit leaks y’all. This woman could get a legit leak saying Byler is endgame and dig her own grave before posting it.

Hello River! 👋🌻 Silly sounding astrology question, but I am completely serious: what placements might be responsible for somebody acting like a 'tsundere' (aka. occasionally prickly or bashful?) even within a more established or long-term relationship? It's cute AF to me (maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, IDK 🤣) but I just wanna know what might placements might be responsible if you know the answer. Thanks for reading! 😆
Haha, this is such an interesting question. 😆
*Disclaimer: Take this with a huge grain of salt (obviously). Not everyone who has these placements can act like a 'tsundere'.
The 'tsundere' placements:
Harsh aspect or even conjunction to Moon: Uncomfortable showing their true feelings. Eg Moon-Mercury opposition might say things that are the complete opposite of what they want ("Oh, you don't have to do it" - read: "Please do it", "Oh I don't like it at all" - read: *squeal and blush*), Moon-Saturn can appear stoic while being a mush inside, Moon-Pluto might panic inside but act nonchalant.
Saturn/Pluto - Personal planets aspects in general: Don't like to appear "weak" or "needy", need to maintain an "image", need to stay in control of their feelings and actions.
Taurus placements: This might be a bit controversial, but in my observations of people who have these placements, they want to remain calm and unruffled, acting emotional might disturb their sense of peace.
Virgo/Pisces placements: Secretly want people to care about them just like how they care about people but don't feel comfortable voicing their needs, want people to read their mind, so when asked what they want or how they feel, they can mask it with nonchalance or bashfulness.
Libra/Scorpio/Aquarius placements: Might like to "poke" or play "mean" a little bit, especially to people who catch their attention.

Spider-squad winter outfits headcanons post!
you can tell i drew different charas in separate days oh wow
So i kinda posted few days ago about recent lack of atsv content Hobie content specifically so i had to deliver myself, amirite? Tho i decided to not stop on Hobie and did the entire spider-squad or perhaps, spider-quad? *badum tss* im funny see
also it's like -38C/-36.4F in my city and i be wearing like four layers at all times so i got inspired can't believe i still love winter when my ass be freezing this bad
So here's my headcanons for spider gang winter outfits!
Let's imagine they all have a mission in winter...
Gwen
She can't really wear her hood bc of wind but everyone teases her about looking bald without it lmaoo so she got one of these knitted hoods instead, also wears one of these fluffy soft jackets
Was wearing uggs until she lost one of the boots during a fight LOL so she got these uggs with velcro fasteners + leg warmers
pics: 1) found-store on Pinterest, 2) wglwkjg on Pinterest, 3) pey on Pinterest, 4) ·˚ Isabella·˚ on Pinterest
Miles
I see him wearing something kinda like his og itsv outfit but winter version with one of these gigantic puffy jackets and nike sneakers with fur inside + a hat with pompom
Let's imagine his jacket is opened, i didn't realise in time it makes his spiderman-outfit not-so-spider looking
pics: 1) Hipok on Pinterest, 2) Nordstrom on Pinterest
Pavitr
He got one of these fluffy earmuffs (because his hair needs to be looking perfect at all times!), a puffy cropped cord jacket, a pair of these puffy winter shoes (these have a ribbon so you don't lose them flying around a city) and a BIG scarf with mittens (he definitely lost one of these tho)
He's the least used to cold out of the squad, but he's being very brave about it and wears a socially acceptable amount of layers
pics: 1) Campus Gifts on Pinterest, 2) WTI Designer on Pinterest, 3) true deals club on Pinterest, 4) liisa rita on Pinterest 5) EtsyCA on Pinterest
Hobie
In contrast with Pavitr he would wear a disturbing amount of layers, definately one of these mfs who wear layers instead of one warm thing
He's got one of these plaid "winter" coats that are thin af but swears he's warm cus it gets hot during fights (nobody believes him cus they watch him start to shiver in real time) (Pavitr crocheting a scarf for him was the only way to make buddy dress fairly properly for cold weather)
At least Hobie got a warm hat, right? Yes, spikes on the mask do just go through it, but it's warm, right? -right? ("it's a ventilation, mate!" or whatever lol)
Got layers of sweaters over each other: a turtleneck-sweater, a cropped one on top + a vest over all these
Would wear his usual boots just with warm socks under
pics: 1) People on Pinterest, 2) Natalia on Pinterest 3) Fur Hat World on Pinterest 4) OLUOLIN on Pinterest 5) Elena Ilieva on Pinterest 6) EtsyCA on Pinterest
Disclaimer: english is not my native and i was SWEATING trying to find how all of these clothes are called in english so if i messed up some names ignore it pls or let me now how they are called correctly
Okay, this is all! Hope you liked it!

Seventeen as types of manhwa characters (in modern romance, with high school or mainly college setting)
(Disclaimer: please do not take anything seriously. I'm just sorting them into character archetypes based on how I see them. You're all entitled to having your own opinions. Most things stated here are made up and not true. Do absolutely not judge the members based on what I've written here.)
Seungcheol: best friend's older brother. Scary first impression. But he grows very protective of MC over the course of the story before eventually falling in love. He debates the morality of dating his young sister's friend a lot before eventually giving into his feelings. Gets jealous extremely easily. Pampers her to no end.
Jeonghan: The Usui Takumi of manhwa world (and the real world as well). Top scorer in all tests yet either skips classes or sleeps through them. It's a mystery how he gets top score every single time. Also, rich af. Bonus, he's the illegitimate child of a chaebol family- oh fuck, I basically just described Usui. Mischievous and carefree on the surface. At one point almost gets sent abroad by his step mother to not be a threat to his half brother and legitimate heir. Overcoming that crisis together pushes him and MC into a solid relationship.
Joshua: the two faced guy who is nice and gentle in front of his love interest but should she gets hurt he would not hesitate to screw the perpetrators over. Not the kind of settle things with his fist of course. He'd screw them over in every aspect of their lives without so much as laying a hand on them. I think there are more secondary male leads with this type of character?
Jun: pretty ordinary before the beginning of the story. Average in studies, hangs out with friends a normal amount, leads a pretty balanced life all over. Until he becomes the guy who accidentally discovers MC's secret one day. They're in the same class so MC threatens him not to spill anything to anyone. From there fate keeps making them cross paths one way or another, making them get more involved with each other and... Yeah.
Hoshi: delinquent. And I'm saying this specifically for Cheers era and RWY era Hoshi. Something about that spiky blond hair with that face just speaks delinquent. But the good delinquent obviously, not the bad kind. The characters that is a delinquent on surface but is a good person underneath. In a manga he'd maybe be a male lead but I've personally never come across a manhwa with a delinquent male lead (recommendations are welcome)
Wonwoo: he's like the blueprint of a manhwa male lead. The tall quiet bespectacled handsome boy (with black hair obviously). Perfect for a strangers to lovers romance. Of course taking off his glasses changes his aura completely and makes MC fall in love with him more.
Woozi: quiet, homebody, introverted, best at what he does. A loner. He doesn't mingle with his peers much. Class valedictorian who gets assigned as a tutor to MC. Has his own baggage which contributes to his withdrawn personality but a green flag through and through. Caring and attentive. Soft and gentle with MC despite seeming uninterested normally.
Dokyeom: MC's younger brother's friend. Upbeat and loud, has the puppy dog energy. He's intelligent but lacks street smarts. Extremely gullible so that MC feels protective over him. Freaks out when MC faces a minor inconvenience. Just freaking adorable in general.
Mingyu: the blueprint of a manhwa male lead in a completely different sense than Wonwoo. If Wonwoo is the Nerd male lead then Mingyu is the Jock male lead. Tall, tan, athletic and has that golden retriever energy. But he's unexpectedly also smart, like, top of the class. And also reliable. He makes MC feel safe and protected.
Minghao: imagine him with a mullet and piercings and fashionable clothes. Biker. His first meeting is basically the modern version of The Crown Princess Scandal. He almost runs MC over with his bike and they find themselves in the police station after. From there on their story unfolds.
Seungkwan: ace of the basketball club. Has a short fuse. When he gets serious, you're done for. The type to confront the person who accidentally bumps shoulders with MC and doesn't apologize on the spot. I don't think I've seen a manhwa character like this either, though there may exist some in Kdramas.
Vernon: the extremely ordinary kinda guy. However, he's always paying attention even when you think he isn't. He notices her absence when MC is missing and helps her out from the shadows (like fake police siren or something). Both parents are busy with work so grew up mostly neglected and alone in the house. Kinda the underdog. His true colours come out when he's extremely pissed.
Dino: met in the dance club. Younger than MC. He becomes her personal tutor for an upcoming dance competition or something, leading to more time spent together and eventually falling in love. Being called Noona had never been a turn on to MC before him.
I originally wanted to make JunHao Manhua character archetype comparison but it's been so long since I read any Manhua that I couldn't come up with a single thing. So I decided to just stick with manhwa. Though I feel like Hoshi, Woozi and Seungkwan are more Manga male leads than Manhwa. Manhwas seriously lack diversity in their male lead casting. I'm tired of seeing the same two people in different fonts. It's always either a black cat or a golden retriever.

PICK-A-CARD READING
IF YOU WERE A DRUG, WHAT DRUG WOULD YOU BE?
WHY DO PEOPLE BECOME “ADDICTED” TO YOUR ENERGY?
Do you give off ALCOHOLIC vibes, CRACKHEAD energy, OR STONER vibes?
**THIS IS PURELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT** I am not calling any of you addicts. Its just a game to have fun so just enjoy it for what it is: ENTERTAINMENT. I am not a professional and the advice given is based off my own personal experience with these addictions. I share what helped me free myself from these vices but I strongly recommend speaking with a professional that can help you better. Without further ado....
LESSSKOOOO
PICK A CARD:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PILE 1: ACE OF HEARTS
If you chose pile 1, the vice that best describes your personality is:
***STONER***
**** DISCLAIMER: I am not insinuating that you smoke alot of pot, even if that's true haha. I am not your doctor, pastor, therapist, parent, sibling, boss, the police, your parole officer, NONE OF THAT. So I dont care what you do on your own time. I am not condoning those actions either but at the same time, it’s your life and you can do whatever you want with it.****
Regardless of your personal choices, this is what it says about your personality:
Laid-back, chill AF – almost too laid back it can sometimes be mistaken for laziness – but at the same time, a lot of you reading this probably are lazy and already know that. Its not a roast, I’m just affirming what you already know LOL. Big couch potato energy. Very laxed. As contradictory as it sounds, this is actually why people become addicted to your energy. There isn’t a lot of people who have the chill factor that you have and being around you is like a break from the hustle and bustle of life.
The cool kid – the IT Boy/Girl. Everything you do is effortless
Iconic – does your own thing & known for not following the crowd
You guys have a mind of your own!
Unbothered – it is very hard to ruffle your feathers or get a reaction out of you. It is both an admirable and irritable trait depending on who you’re talking to. If not, you may just react to things very slowly and may find yourself hot and bothered after the fact
Very easy going and easy to talk to – you can chop it up with almost all personalities because you are very relatable and relaxed.
CLASS CLOWN VIBES - you may not take things too seriously and can find humor in anything! You say some funny shit man, and you aren’t even trying to be funny.
EFFORTLESS COMEDIAN.
Very witty and intelligent
You can hold a conversation with a variety of people. Whether its small talk or deep intellectual conversations.
People remember you for the conversations that they have with you and the energy that you bring to the conversation. You may not even realize the effect your words or energy have on people but it lingers on their mind and energy long after you have gone away. All a person needs is one “hit” of your energy.
Might be apart of the “woke” culture or many people would describe you as being “woke”
May be labeled an overthinker, borderline paranoid but also a very critical thinker. You may think about things that most people don’t think about. It may shock others how much you know about a variety of topics
Very grounded and rooted in whatever it is that you do.
Natural beauties and very natural bodies.
“LOVE CHILD”
Hippy vibes
You have a reputation for always being in a good mood and always being happy for no reason. Its very rare that you are in a bad mood. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have those days. You just know how to guard your emotions and only let a small number of trusted people see your vulnerable side.
Y’all are A VIBE. Periodt. Point. Blank.
You can vibe with a crowd AND you can vibe all on your own. You could be both introverted and extroverted depending on your mood. Sometimes you might be in a corner on your own doing your own thing, other times you’re mingling with a variety of different people. Just depends on your mood.
You probably have lots of conversations with your self all the time. People might think you’re a little weird for that but you might find it funny
Very unique and one of a kind
You might have your own distinct smell. Maybe you have a certain perfume/cologne that you use all the time that people know you for. OR maybe you just stink and smell like body odor. It can be either one of those two extremes LOL (Smokers LOVE the smell of weed, nonsmokers tend to strongly DESPISE the smell of weed so it goes both ways. Don’t shoot the messenger HAHA)
May have a love for music or be very musically inclined
Lyricist, journalist, writer/author - may be very good at articulating your thoughts and emotions but you may mumble or speak softly.
Every moment with you is a HIGH moment – by “high”, I mean when people see you, even if the interaction is short, its most often the HIGHlight of peoples day.
Everyones BUDdy
Wall FLOWER vibes
May be looked at as slightly ditzy
ADVICE:
Tap into your creativity more. This pile has the creative abilities, if improved and mastered, can be monetized on greatly.
Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and to stand out.
If you struggle with overthinking, it means you aren’t taking enough action. Start moving and putting your amazing thoughts into action so you can manifest the life you dream about all the time. Mistakes are inevitable and part of the growing process so don’t be afraid to make mistakes or make a fool out of yourself. That’s how you learn. The longer you sit on your ideas, the easier it is for doubtful thoughts to creep in which in turn will stop you from taking any type of action. It is time to take action and slow down the voices in your head telling you that you aren’t enough.
Believe in yourself more and learn to love yourself for all your flaws. Your biggest critic and your biggest competition should always be yourself so build yourself up more. Quit the negative self talk. Critique yourself towards improvement but not to the point of giving up. You’re more than you give yourself credit for.
Be more comfortable speaking your mind in the moment instead of bottling everything up all the time. You only end up beating yourself up in the end and it slows down your progress.
If you are addicted to the drug, my advice is to take a break from it for a bit so you can start being active again in your own life. You don't have to quit cold turkey. Take it one day at a time but the wheels will start moving for you soon as you make that change. Too much of anything, even if it's good for you, can eventually start to work against you. But it's your life. If you can find that balance while still keeping it in your life, more power to ya! 😊

PILE 2: ACE OF CLUBS
If you chose pile 2, the vice that best describes your personality is:
***ALCOHOLIC***
**** DISCLAIMER: I am not insinuating that you drink a lot of alcohol, even if that's true haha. I am not your doctor, pastor, therapist, parent, sibling, boss, the police, your parole officer, NONE OF THAT. So I don’t care what you do on your own time. I am not condoning those actions either but at the same time, it’s your life and you can do whatever you want with it.****
Regardless of your personal choices, this is what it says about your personality:
BIG GOOFBALL ENERGYYYY
Very energetic and MAFANA (pronounced “mah-fah-nah” meaning “heated” in the Tongan language). You might always be MAFANA and ready to do anything at any moment. Also you might literally be MAFANA in body temperature. Might have a warmer body temperature or may always be hot even in colder temperatures. May enjoy very hot showers as well.
Extremely physically attractive. Sexy and sultry type of aesthetic
Very seductive mannerisms and voice
Very spontaneous and slightly chaotic
You might speak in slang a lot – doesn’t matter the slang, but you have your own way of speaking
People would probably describe you as being very bold and confident. You aren’t afraid to say what’s on your mind and you don’t care who hears.
True to yourself
Very genuine and authentic in all your interactions
You’re probably sociable and outgoing
Extremely outgoing – very rarely are you ever alone. You always have a crowd of people surrounding you or with you.
You have your own unique sense of style and fashion taste. People know and recognize you for your fashion sense. It’s just very……YOU.
Brutally honest but honest nonetheless – people may avoid you because of how honest you can be. But people know when they really need an honest opinion, you are the first person to come to mind.
People may describe you as having multiple personalities. It can be both a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are talking to. One things for sure, getting to know you is NEVER a bore.
Never a dull moment when you are around
LIFE OF THE PARTY
You are the person everyone hopes to see at an event or a party because they know it will be a fun time if you are around.
Very confident – ALPHA vibes – BOSS energy
You may be everyone’s “go-to” person when they need to vent or get things off their chest. Interacting with you is like a glass of wine at the end of a really rough day. If it was a really tough day, you’re more like 3 shots of Henney instead of wine, lets be honest.
You have a “numbing” effect on people – interacting with you is like nothing else matters but the present moment. You’re a very rare type of person
You are the person to impress! Every room you walk into and every person you interact with, you are the center of attention & people will do anything to get your attention praise, & validation.
Not only are you the person to impress, you are also a very impressive person. You impress through your looks, your skills, your intellect, etc – ALL AROUND impressive
You are very expressive, blunt, and outspoken. You say whatever is at the top of your mind and react to everything based off of your emotions in the moment.
May at times be very moody
Night owls
Kareoke King/Queen
Shameless
No one ever knows what to expect with you. You keep everyone on their toes
Maybe a bit clumsy and silly but thats why people love your energy. Its giving "overgrown child" vibes and its refreshing.
You help heal alot of peoples inner child just by being yourself. You bring that young vibe to any occasion.
ADVICE:
Take more time for yourself and away from the noise and the audience. I sense that you don’t enjoy being alone because that is when the dark thoughts creep in. Maybe you dislike feeling lonely. Get more comfortable with being on your own and in your own energy. Sort out those dark thoughts. Try to figure out where the darkness originated from and learn to heal it. It will improve your social interactions greatly.
Learn to enjoy silence. A lot of positive ideas, peace, and self discovery can be found in the silence.
Your greatest strength is your outspokenness. However, by remaining silent, you can avoid a lot of regret for yourself. You can also learn a lot about others simply by listening and remaining silent. Stay outspoken, but add silence into your personality every now and then to bring more balance to your character
SLOW DOWN - in all areas! Speak slower, walk slower, think slower, react slower, develop relationships slower, etc. You may start many things very quickly and burn out just as fast. Learn to pace yourself and develop your mental/physical stamina
If you are addicted to the alcohol, my advice would be to find a healthier hobby to substitute that vice. Exercise helps with regulating your emotions as well as a healthy eating plan. Get more sleep and start journaling. Having an outlet to really pour out your emotions will keep you from pouring another cup. Take it one day at a time, but the wheels will start rolling for you once you make that change. But it's your life, do as you please! If you can find that balance in your life, more power to ya!

PILE 3: ACE OF DIAMONDS
If you chose pile 1, the vice that best describes your personality is:
***CRACKHEAD***
**** DISCLAIMER: I am not insinuating that you’re a meth/coke head, even if that's true haha. I am not your doctor, pastor, therapist, parent, sibling, boss, the police, your parole officer, NONE OF THAT. So I dont care what you do on your own time. I am not condoning those actions either but its your life and you can do whatever you want with it.****
Regardless of your personal choices, this is what it says about your personality:
The most energetic of all the piles
CEO/Supervisor energy
Very focused and determined to accomplish anything you set your mind to. You are willing to start things over as many times as you need until you get it right.
You may have an addictive personality but also others may find your personality very addicting as well. Once someone has tasted your energy, its very hard to shake you.
People may become very obsessed with you. You circle peoples minds multiple times a day. They just cant figure you out. You may also be very obsessive and possessive yourself.
FOCUSED. FOCUSED. FOCUSED, Extremely focused individuals. Your focus is probably your most admirable trait.
As focused as you are, you are also probably a very great multitasker
Entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs in the making. You may be very business minded
You are usually always 10 steps ahead of the game. You see all sides and make very calculated moves based off of your observations.
Very observant individuals. You probably notice and remember the tiniest details about people and you know how to make people feel really special in every interaction with you. People don’t expect you to remember certain things they’ve mentioned or worn, but when you bring it up to them long after the fact, you really make people feel SEEN & HEARD. This makes you more trustworthy in their eyes.
May be accused of being narcissistic but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You may have been a victim to narcissistic abuse in the past so you’ve learned the ins and outs of all the mind games being played. So when someone uses a mind game on you, you flip it back on them and then they have the audacity to call YOU the narcissist. It has become your tool for self defense but also agitates those on the receiving end of your narcissism. To put it into perspective, most super heros and world leaders are narcissistic because they need to be. If not, they would get chewed up and spit out by the world and wouldn’t last a day in their position. If they wanna call you a narcissist because you refuse to adopt their mindset or their perspective, then so be it! Accept the title and keep it pushing. Remain true to yourself.
Very self-reliant and reliable. You conquer every task and assignment thrown at you and you do an amazing job at it in a very time efficient manner. People may try to discredit you or say you couldn’t have done it all by yourself but the proof is in the pudding darling. In reality, these folks are just projecting their own insecurities on to you because we all know, if they were in your position, there is no way they could have done that on their own. No one can deny your workmanship because you prove it time and time again.
Lone wolf vibes. You may not have many friends or you may not be open to inviting new people into your circle. “NO NEW FRIENDS” vibes
You probably have a sturdy set of friends and you’ve known them for a long time.
Very secretive and private. You may enjoy your privacy and may tend to keep a lot of your life hidden from the public eye.
Very protective of your energy and your space.
May have a lot of people who constantly have an opinion on your life. You do a great job at blocking them and their noise out of the way and continuing to push along.
STRONG STAMINA – yall can last for a lonnnngggg time (however you interpret that LOL)
Great debater – if someone wants to come at you sideways, they better come prepared with their arguments because going against you isn’t easy. You know yourself, you know your facts and you know what happened. Barely nothing gets past you.
Out of all the piles, this pile has the most haters. I don’t know why and neither do you. You must be someone of significance to have this many haters. You represent PRESSURE and people feel that energy as soon as you walk into the room. This is a compliment for you but a threat to your haters. No one wants to feel pressured to improve. You don’t try to apply pressure. You just ARE pressure.
You cant be tamed. Very hard to lock down and hard to pin down.
Unbeatable
Invincible
Immunity
Misjudged and misunderstood but never stops remaining true to yourself. Let the haters do their thing but keep doing you booboo.
Diamond in the rough
Might wear a lot of jewelry or you should wear more jewelry but this is something people notice about you. Maybe you have tons of jewelry or you have a piece of jewelry that people remember you for. If not, I suggest wearing more jewelry because it looks great on you.
ADVICE
Learn to handle the pressure that comes your way. You attract what you put out there and unfortunately, this is one of those things that is out of your control. People feel pressured when you are around therefore, you may feel as though pressure is constantly being applied to you. Don’t sweat it. These experiences are to show you how strong your character truly is but you must remain true to who you are if you want it to work in your favor.
Its okay to be more open and available to others. You can still maintain your strong boundaries but you don’t have to shut the entire world out. Remain open!
Keeping an open mind may also be helpful for you. Not everything will play out the way you envisioned it in your brain so keep an open mind so you can solve your problems as they arise.
Take some time to relax. You give off very strong workaholic vibes and sometimes you can overwork yourself to exhaustion. Give your body the rest it needs through sleep. Remember to eat throughout the day and fill your body up with the nutrients it needs to keep you going and alert for your various tasks. Go outside and enjoy the outdoors. Take time to care for yourself.
Learn to lighten up a little. Your laser focus can sometimes make you too serious to be around. Laugh a little. Smile more. Let loose. Enjoy the life in front of you. Balance out your work and play and you’ll find your life is more enjoyable that way.
If you are addicted to the drug, my advice would be to invest in yourself more. You won't have the money to spend on drugs if you throw your money into something that will benefit you more in the long run. Take a class to build on a skill you already have, sign up for a committee, give yourself responsibility and bring purpose back into your life. But start small. Learn to depend on yourself and hold yourself up before trying to overextend yourself for others. Too much responsibility is probably what got you to this point or maybe it was the lack thereof. Whatever the case be, you need to love on yourself more & know that you are more than enough. The wheels will start moving for you once you make that change and the clarity that follows will bring you immense joy.

Just finished grinding Assassin's Creed Mirage! WOOHOO! ୧( ಠ Д ಠ )୨
I think it's a deffo wonderful game and a refreshment after the RPG trilogy (it does have RPG elements to it, but still), and it also have some things that are lacking. It reminds me of the good 'ol days, but deffo not on par with the good 'ol days.
Here're some of my thoughts and reviews!
🕌 Sleepy's Assassin's Creed Mirage Review 🗡️
(Spoiler Warning ⚠️ Including the ending ⚠️)
Disclaimer, this is just my personal opinion. You may agree and disagree. I’m just gonna talk a lot because I LOVE Assassin’s Creed with all my heart. Here goes.
VISUALS
(+) Basim Ibn Ishaq, the handsome man that you are… HOLY SHIT (yes I’m adding him as the first plus point of this game what of it). Man's fine AF.
(+) Baghdad’s really beautiful, nuff said. The color palette is PERFECT - displays the warmth of the atmosphere really well, but also just enough greens and many starking hues of flowers.
(+) The waters and environment textures are CRISPY. The detailed patterns on the clothes, the engravings and the state of the arts is really cool. I haven’t really looked a lot into the 800’ Baghdad arts, but I can see lots of good details and art styles. SHOUT OUT TO THE ARTISTS!!
GAMEPLAY - Now here’s what I have a lot to comment on.
(+) Stealth -> I think they did quite good with the stealth. One of the many complaints that I saw on the previous RPG trilogy games was the fact that the main characters/players had no reason to be stealthy, because they can just barge in and defeat the enemies easily. Ubi has marketed the game to be more stealth focused and intentionally made Basim a less of a fighter (make sense, since he came from a thief background, unlike Bayek, Kassandra, and Eivor who are actual trained warriors since they’re kids). However, this brings me to the first lacking point.
(-) Combat -> The combat feels janky. I feel like I’m really fucked up in combat situations if I don’t upgrade my sword and dagger. Like I get it, Basim is not meant to be much of a fighter, but in the beginning parts (or… even the middle parts of the game, let’s be real), I feel like combat is HELL. I forgot the Youtuber who said it, but he said something along the lines of “I’m an assassin, I want to feel like an assassin and want to feel like a badass and can take down many enemies with ease.” And that actually rings true with me. When I’m in combat and countless soldiers are fighting or following me (and I don’t have the smoke bomb with the forgetting effect), I’m most certainly FUCKED.
(+) The fighting style is cool though, it's stylish and the finishing moves are sick af. It could deffo use some work.
(-+) Parkour/Movements - It’s alright. It’s most certainly better than the previous RPG trilogy, but it’s definitely not Unity or Syndicate. Sometimes Basim can do something that I didn’t want and I’ve lost count on how many times I got caught and died just from a mis-movement. I literally don’t understand why they don’t use the Unity parkours and combat styles. Unity’s parkour is smooth, swift, and stylish. It feels GOOD.
(+) Stealing - I’m a loot goblin in games, and believe me, I think I’ve spent like hours just stealing from the entire population of Baghdad that by the end of the game I’m probably richer than the Taxmaster and the whole entire Abbasid Caliphate. It’s fun, it’s easy, but it can sometimes be hard enough to miss. I just hope there’s more variety/difficulty in the stealings in different places – Like maybe in the Round City the diamond thingy is much smaller, or in like for stealing merchants (who has particular fashion/silhouette or have wallets/pouches with different colors) can be harder to steal from but have more rewards and money.
(-+) Map - OKAY. I love the fact that Mirage has a significantly smaller map than that of Odyssey and Valhalla. It’s focused and it’s much more centered. HOWEVER. For a game this caliber, and with this good of a graphic? It’s much too small and it’s too divided between two parts. Hear me out – The graphics are really cool, but I feel like the map is too divided between – either a densely populated city, or just barren lands of desert. I think the map could be much much bigger with much more collectibles and much more variety in the terrains. Like, for example in Black Flag (The S tier game. Argue with a wall), there’re more than one major city, while in Mirage the map is so very centered (Yes I get it it’s the Round City), but I’d love it if there’s another major city that we can travel to, like Damascus, for instace. + I love the Tales of Baghdad. MORE TALES OF BAGHDAD PLEASE.
STORY - nOW THIS… I never liked the stories post - Origins and here's why :
(-) LET 👏 THE ACTORS 👏 DO 👏 MOTION 👏 CAPTURE 👏 - My biggest complaint for the RPG game styles is always about the facial and motion animation. The cutscenes feel DEAD. The eyes are DEAD. I almost can't feel anything. Ubi is rich af, why not use facial capturing? AC3 was the first AC game to use motion capture, and holy shit… it's one of my fave games. Yes. All games, not only AC series. The emotion in their faces, the gestures, the small glances, the little movements - they all decide every character's personality. The reason why I love every AC since AC3-ACOrigins is because the actors pour all their voices, faces, even body movements into the interactions between characters, because they make the stories feel alive. Let the actors be actors. I can rant more but this is already a long post so I'll stop. MOTION 👏 CAPTURE 👏.
(+) I love Basim's origin story. Dude's a 17 year old street thief who got a bit over his head and ended up becoming a fugitive because he killed the fucking caliph himself. That was crazy HAHAHAH anyway even though I think the beginning felt a bit rushed I love it. I just wish they could milk it more.
(+) I love the side characters! Especially Ali (I think he's hot 👉👈 and he's the absolute freedom fighter). Anyway, even though they don’t really do much, they all feel alive and do lots of things (except Roshan prolly HAHAHAH but there's a reason I guess)
(+) Roshan. Mentor and reminds me of Al-Mualim. I particularly love the fact that after all that wise words throughout the game, she literally threatened Basim if he actually went to the underground temple. And when she showed up covered in blood??? And THE TWIST AT THE END??? "Roshan bint La-Ahad". SHE'S ALTAIR'S ANCESTOR. THAT FUCKING SHOCKED ME YOOOO. She's just amazing.
(-) Pacing - I feel like this is because they’re speeding things up (which is a good thing), the pacing is pretty standard in the beginning, but the ending is a bit too high of a rollercoaster mount. The ending went from 0-100 real quick. I feel like we need a more of a climbing storyline. This is why I kind of don’t agree with the ‘centering’ storyline instead of a linear story. Centering styles of story has no climb in the intensity, and because of that we can’t feel the character developments because he’s supposed to stay the same even though we’ve killed like 3 bosses already. And then when all the underlings are dead, finally the boss racks up Basim’s curiosity super duper high that it becomes too sudden.
(-) Weak Villains - The villains since Origins are always hidden and unknown, unlike the previous games where the Templars are literally KNOWN by the people. I want more villains like Haytham tbh, where he literally doesn’t care about the precusor sites and only wants stability in his reign as a Grandmaster. Or if the villains do care about the Pieces of Eden or have a prior interest of the First Civ, at least let them have an actual personality and character, let them be a menace and a threat since the beginning of the game instead of being the NPC’s we kill to finish the game. Let them challenge our beliefs as an Assassin/Hidden Ones. Let the villains actually have an impact to the main storyline. Imagine in the end Basim and Qabiha really went to the underground temple together, and got confronted by Roshan. That’s where the conflict in Basim climaxed! Imagine the emotion! The drama~!
(+) How the stories interlinked with Valhalla. Basim is a sage, and host of Loki who sought revenge to Odin (who wronged him). So I don't think Basim nor Loki are evil per se. They're just gray. Now the stories aren't just about Templars vs Assassin, it's more focused towards the First Civilization. It's a bit hard to keep up but it's nothing a bit of reading/looking up some lore videos wouldn't solve.
MISC
We need more outfits! The outfits are far too few for us to choose from!
Wonderful and mystifying music. Nuff said. Brendan Angelides and Layth Sidiq nailed it. One Republic and Mishaal Tamer’s “Mirage” in on repeat on my Spotify right now.
I love gear chests hunting and all the collectibles. I just wish the map is bigger and there’re more collectibles T_T I’M A LOOT GOBLIN OKAY.
I learn history of Baghdad LFG. I play largely for the stories and not the gameplays, so if there’s a codex entry or any new historical sites I always read it. Learning history doesn’t hurt!
How I can really relate to the real world. I live in Indonesia where 90% of the people is Muslim (I’m a Christian), so when I here familiar words like Alhamdullilah, Assalam’ualaikum and Wa’alaikumsalam, or see the people praying, the Adzan sounds throughout the city, the people praying towards the Ka’bah, it kinda feels like home! Just hope that they add more funny shit to it though, like “Yaallah Basim! Istighfar!” Or “WALLAHI.” Or more Arabic sayings so we can immerse more to the world.
MAKE BASIM DO THE 5 PRAYERS (maybe when we pass time or after a big mission we come back to him finishing a prayer).
FINAL VERDICT - 7.8/10 -> It’s a focused game, and it really did come back to some of the original elements of AC before the RPG trilogy. It’s not too long and casuals can play it without feeling like we have to grind like Odyssey or Valhalla. Deffo would recommend playing it!
Once again, BRING BACK MOTION CAPTURE ‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️
If you did play it gimme some thoughts in the comments! Thank you for reading! (人*´∀`)。*゚+

RANDOM LESBIAN TICCIJACK HEADCANONS!!!
because I love lesbian ticcijack more than you no one can prove me wrong I think about them 24/7 they are literally my ocs atp I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEY'RE MY HYPERFIXATION ahem anyways
grab some popcorn and take a seat because OH BOY we're in for a RIIIIDEE
Also disclaimer this is just appearances hcs and maybe a little bit of mental disorders hcs
ALSO!! my lesbian ass prefers an au where literally every single pasta is a woman (well it has some exceptions obviously cuz them being all female sounds a little sexist of me idk)
OKAY LET'S BEGIN!!!
Jane (jack's fem name) has long ass hair and sometimes wears them in dreads cuz she's poc 💪🏼💪🏼 BLACK OCS (except she's not my oc but let a man dream)!!!! SCREAMS!!!!!!!!!! She has BEAUTIFUL long lashes 💋💋 is a masc lesbian 👅👅👅😍😍 works out like any other masc lesbian. She wears like baggy shit but most of the time she wears her lab/dr coat cuz she gotta tend to all the hurt patients coming in all the time SKIBIDI!!! She has elf ears, devil horns and a tail and I HC her as like Zalgo's daughter, like princess of hell type shit (BLEEGHHH 🤮🤮) and she has a sister Lazari (you know her already) I hate Lazari's original design and literary everything about her so I changed her aha I CAN DO WHATEVA I WANT SHHH ❤️
Tory (Toby's fem name, full name is Toriel. Notice how both 'y' in toby and tory change when their full name is said. Example: Tor*y* Tor*i*el, Tob*y* Tob*i*as. It's a nice little detail heh) she's like pansexual and has short hair and the thing is I can't choose between wavy short hair or curls... What do you think??? Anyways I've hc-ed her to have like 2-3 personalities? One of them is actually just age regression so it doesn't really count as a personality, but she does have a different clothing style while she's regressing. Also I think you already know why I hc her to have age regression, she wants to make up for her non existent childhood and stuff. She has a personality which is the one she uses the most, it's like a "mask" yk? The thing is; whenever she puts on her goggles and mouth guard she turns into a whole different person, almost like fanon Tory or should I say Toby, ykwim? Her other personality is her true personality and it's lowkey like, depressed af, it's giving angsty teenager type shit. Also she has two clothing styles, one is like giving nana from nana and hachi, all pink and cutecore and shit (this is mostly because of her age regression, but I think she secretly likes it outside of agere) and the other one is grunge. she wears like jorts most of the time and baggy t-shirts
ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION she has ANOTHER style!! Hippie.. which is mostly self insert because I see myself in her so yeah
Most of this is like self insert but at the same time it kinda fits her, get my drift?? OH YEAH SHE'S PALE BTW! Their dynamic is like chocolate and vanilla tbh
Honestly if this is just half of it imagine it all together.. I should write a book
Guys erm.. this is so cringe.. 🙏🏼
Live footage of reddetur finding out free will (they end up making up fem!versions of two fictional characters from practically a dead fandom and can't find lesbian art of them anywhere except for bimbvx we love bimbvx for feeding me also I'm not tagging them because I'm too shy shahjashhajaha)
I wrote this while building my Fugue in hsr ❤️
Let me know if y'all want more of my hcs I'm dying to make ticcijack fan friends (asks open btw)
#I'm starting to think that jane is just my dream girl/type in disguise.#I'm literally Tory guys#i hope i find the Jane to my Tory heh#i probably have autism#i know for sure that i have adhd idk about autism#undiagnosed adhd#neurodivergent#hyperfixation#ticcijack#creepypasta#ticci toby#eyeless jack#i love ticcijack#i hate ticcijack haters#ticcijack headcanons#lesbian ticcijack#lesbian#lgbt#age regression#did system?#possibly#hsr#headcanons#i am cringe but i am free#cringeposting#self insert

READ BELOW THE CUT
OCTOBER 31, 2023
you had left me on my own yet again. its not like i had any true friends left to be with anyway, after you scared them all off, that is.
who knows where you couldve gone.
no, the real you.
my sweet, sweet channie i fell in love with all those years ago.
where could you have gone?
maybe i wasnt good enough, maybe i wasnt pretty enough.
or maybe you werent understanding enough.
i always thought it was me, but maybe it was you all this time.
i like to think back at when we were last happy, god. that mustve been ages ago, just about.
it was.. my 16th birthday?
-my 16th birthday-
it was.. the day we had to put my dog down. my puppy since i was young. i remember it all clearly now.
i was..
-i was..-
we, we were 17.
mmm, my dog was probably my best friend. the realest one in a while.
i remember how you were there for me, even took me to my favorite donut shop to distract me while you tried so hard to make me laugh.
it worked.
i wish you were still you when we were young.
my sweet channie.
where could you have gone?
i could care less about your whereabouts.
i could care less about how you told me i was lying and that you knew i loved you whenever i tried expressing how i felt about us now.
but maybe i just want to be loved again.
maybe i just want to feel something again.
and i know it cant be with you.
i remember the last time you brought me out we were at mingyus halloween party last year.
nobody could find you, so i went to look for you myself.
i noticed your location was still shared with me, and not any of your friends.
so i tracked you to our car.
-our-
i tracked you to your car.
(since nothing that was yours was mine anyway)
and there you were.
fucking some random girl in the backseat.
that was the last day i saw any of my friends.
you never let me out again.
“you cant go, youll just be in my way.” you said before you left for soonyoungs christmas party.
“you cant go, i cant bare to see you hurt again.” you told me before i was about to leave to my own birthday party planned by my friends.
“you cant go, youll just play victim in front of all my friends and cry about how i fucked another girl.” you told me before you left a few hours ago.
i never know with you. but, i know deep down you care.
somewhere.
its always how y/n cant go here, y/n cant do this. or, shes too busy, we have something planned, shes not home.
even in the way you always spoke over me i knew you were just trying to speak for me.
but what about you?
why cant i have a say in anything you do? why do i get everything taken from me? why did you scare off all my friends and even make your friends hate me too?
you always came home high or on something whenever a different girl each time, dropped you off after you came back from a different party.
i never missed the way theyd look at me.
as if you said something about me.
because you know i never forget the look on someones face
it wasnt till later when i found out from wonwoo that everything you did to me, you told those girls thats what i did to you.
i learned to be quiet though.
i learned to sit there and smile, and just take it.
there was nothing i could do though, theres nothing that couldve changed your actions.
i mean, i cant control you.
so why can you control me?
the channie i knew from when we were 20 wouldve consoled me and been there for me.
the channie i knew from when we were 15 wouldve just laughed about how mr seo accidentally buzzed his head in the boys locker room.
the channie i knew from when we first met in grade school wouldnt even have thought about doing half the things you do now.
so where did we go wrong?
i still think about that.
was it, when we hit puberty?
was it, when we moved out?
was it, when we graduated?
our first date?
the day i found out you cheated?
y/n scoffed as she looked at the giant brown teddy bear in the corner of the room that chan had won for her on their first date.
she let out an annoyed sigh, thinking back, looking back at whatever point in time that couldve even reflected a glimpse of this change in him.
it was too subtle, but too sudden, for her to even remember.
she took a sip of her ginger ale before picking up her pen and scribbling some more in her diary that only she had the key to.
who knows what he’d do if he saw all the things she said about him.
you really werent much help.
nevertheless, i still love you.
i really fucking love you.
i know you do too.
i know a part of you inside still cares for me.
i could even cry thinking about it.
yeah, i realize i dont get out much.
but you never hurt me.
physically, at least.
the emotional damage is beyond repair though.
but i know theres still a bit of the you from our youth left.
i see it in the way you look at me.
no matter how mad,
how upset,
how happy,
how sad you were,
whether you were high,
whether you were drunk,
even when we were younger too.
you always looked at me the same.
that softened gaze and warm eyes.
the eyes never change. the eyes dont lie.
i mean, you could deny it (which id only laugh if you tried), but your eyes tell.
maybe thats why im still holding on.
maybe im just waiting for the boy i first fell in love with to randomly come back.
the chances are slim.
but i still hope.
im holding on.
by a thread, at least.
not like you’d let me leave anyway.
i could say how theres still love left within us
probably, somewhere
but when was the last time we were genuinely happy?
what do you get out of this?
because it isnt happiness. it cant be. you wouldnt be here if you were.
we’re both miserable. i see it and feel it.
it’s like, im just here for you.
i can understand the pressure though.
everyone would ask “how did you make it through college?” “how did you make it through high school?”
they dont understand though. you kinda made me
-you kinda made me-
they dont understand though.
i mean,
maybe i finally understood why you were the way you were
or maybe you just never tried to understand me.
i could tell you all of these things.
but i couldnt.
because i could never ‘lie’ to you.

“Things that do not prove someone is queer:
Consistently and frequently praising queer art/artists
Consistently and frequently citing queer art/artists as inspiration
Holding hands with someone of the same sex
Cuddling with someone of the same sex
Kissing someone of the same sex
Intentionally wearing matching clothing with someone of the same sex
Wearing queer pride clothing
Consistently and frequently referring to someone of the same sex as attractive
Always singing romantic songs to someone of the same sex "
I’m sorry but this is ignorant as hell. I know you were trying to be sarcastic but none of this proves ones sexuality and the fact that you are even making this comparisons with someone from South korea is just laughable.
Even if all these things were true, there are people called ALLIES. Allies do all of these and more and that doesn’t make them one bit queer but only that they are supportive and accepting of those who are. I am as straight as ruler but I do more than half of these because I am an ALLY.
Using stuff like wearing matching clothing is just pathetic because these are idols we are talking abiut and yes I know that the fact that many people do doesn’t mean that what taekook do isn’t special but you don’t know their intentions when they do things do you? So how would you know if these things are intentional or how would you know if they even mean what you think they mean?
Talking about holding hands, kissing, complimenting, singing song. I’m sorry but do u know bangtan? They all literally do all these things so what are you even talking about?
I’m sorry but if these was you trying to make a case to prove Tae is queer, then you have failed because none of these things makes a person queer. He could do all this and so much more and not have the least queer bone in his body while there is someone somewhere who does the complete opposite yet they are queer af.
Go back and read my post again. The whole thing. I added the disclaimer within seconds of publishing it, so it was there long before you sent me this. You missed the point ENTIRELY.

Chenle's birth chart analysis
DISCLAIMER: This is just a part of the analysis of the idol's natal chart, which wants to show a deeper perspective on the idols life. This analysis is carried out thanks to the data that appears on the birth chart. The point of this post is to entertain. [This idol hasn’t confirmed his birth time, so I used the standard 12pm time to calculate his natal chart].
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/77cf598954d830f0388a35cfc2eaf3a3/85e27b36e5451729-b0/s540x810/3175dc67f6f2fc9092e0f716166167be196470c5.jpg)
!!: since we don't know chenle's birth time, we have no idea if he's a scorpio or sagittarius sun. when this happens, we should analyse his sun with the traits of both signs.
this little man is passionate, intuitive and loyal. he can be considered as cold when you first meet him, but once he opens his heart you'll be able to see how protective chenle is with the people he loves. chenle is also very funny and curious, and tries to spread his positivity to the world. even though he's quite sociable, he considers few people as his true friends.
having sun square uranus can mean that he can have a love-hate relationship with his own personality, more specifically with his weird side. having this aspect means that he possesses an electrifying personality which can make others either hate him or love him... that's why it can be hard for him to open up easily.
chenle has his moon in the sign of aquarius, which makes him a stubborn person with a strong ego. he's emotionally distant, since he feels uncomfortable when expressing his emotions. this dude tends to rationalize his feelings and prefers dealing with his problems by himself. plus, he's emotionally mature with both his moon and mars making a trine with saturn and tries to be as objective as possible.
he also has the sign of aquarius as his mars sign, which makes him a rebellious, ambitious, independent and creative person. chenle needs a job where he can express his thoughts through art and being a singer was a very well made decision. however, I think that he will have more than one job, tho... I don't see him just as a singer... he would probably like having his own podcast or youtube channel where he can chat with his fans or something like that.
this placement also makes chenle a very argumentative and emotionally impulsive person. he probably gets mad easily and doesn't have a lot of patience.
chenle is very proud of his ideas with his sun conjunct mercury and sometimes he can be seen as a know-it-all.
he has both mercury and venus in scorpio, which means that he's good at keeping secrets, specially his own ones. when there's a debate, chenle will try to win it at all cost. this dude is smart and critical af. he likes to get to the heart of things, no matter the consequences.
when he has a crush, chenle is very observant and likes knowing the smallest details of that person. however, he doesn't like to reveal much about himself. this man is very daring once he decides that he wants to have something serious with someone. chenle wants to have a relationship that transforms him in some way. he wants to feel comfortable and safe with that special person. if you ever make him upset or do him dirty, it will be hard for him to forgive you right away.
even though he wants all of those things I mentioned earlier, chenle doesn't know what he really wants in a relationship; there's a clash here between his needs and his wants. I feel that he does love in an intense way and does get a little jealous from time to time, but he also wants to have some time on his own. chenle doesn't like clingy people, he prioritizes independency. I also feel that, since he's not good at expressing his feelings, that also plays against him. he's likely to have many experiences with many people to finally know what he really wants.

Disclaimer: If you don't have universal health care this doesn't apply to you, I understand there are multiple barriers in that situation that would prevent you from seeking care. (Similarly, I have literal nosocomephobia so strong, it's on record in ALL systems including dental systems so this is coming from someone with universal health care who has barriers still to accessing care.)
Cw/TW Medical, Sickness, medical neglect, Endangerment of others, Unsafe living conditions (catch alling this as best I can) under the cut. This is a vent. Trigger warning specifically for Emetophobia (fear of v*m*t) Y'all wanna skip this one.
Really been trying to avoid being a negative nancy but like. Mmm.
Context: I live in Canada, Walk in and stuff is paid for, so we don't pay for it. If you lack health insurance, prescriptions may cost money but often times pharmacies will work with you to get you your meds (where I live) if you absolutely need them - Like antibiotics, etc can be made free if you lack insurance. I don't know if this is true everywhere, but it's my experience. So, if you have a cough lasting longer than 4 days, you're encouraged to go see a doctor, for example.
Wifey and I live with a roommate (biggest regret I'm ngl, so happy we are moving.) And said roommate got sick around the 24th of December, 2024. Roommate has been coughing heavily, and having other normal cold/flu symptoms. Roommate said they'd go into walk in/ER on the 30th if they weren't doing better.. It's the 1st of January. I've caught *just a cold* as far as we can tell, though I have other complications going on with me. Roommate has progressed from a cold, to more than likely Pneumonia or Bronchitis, and has refused to seek treatment. Ie, extremely contagious virus unless he gets it chronically after a cold, then it's a genetics thing if I remember right? Anyways. Wifey and I are both immuno-compromised. He's aware of this. Maybe not to the exact extent, but regardless, he does know. I intend to go to walk in once able, to see what a doctor thinks because Pneumonia is a 50/50 shot for me making it out. Period, due to a number of factors.. So it's kinda important to not be living with someone who has infectious pneumonia, who refuses to seek treatment, because it won't clear up on it's own and will be worse as time goes on.
Why am I only now venting about this? Emetophobes, look away if you chose to read this far. Non-emetophobes, I'm still warning you it's about to get gross.
Dude told us he was getting better. I've heard the guy puking multiple times, but he obviously is denying it. (And I get being afraid of doctors & hospitals - I literally have the phobia y'all) And my wife wasn't sure, because she's been preoccupied and is less hypervigilant than I am (good for her /g) so we left it alone. Well, we just got back from having some time out the house, and we have heard roommate go to the front of the house as opposed to the toilet prior, Wifey assumed it was for phelm, and only phlem, which is less likely to pass on whatever is making Roommate sick.
Wrong. We got back, and he leaned out the door, and at first it seemed like white foamy phelgm (go. See. A doctor. If this happens to you do not wait that ish is serious AF) and just that, and that is concerning, but mainly means his body is not handling this well. Then it became.. more. I won't get into more depth I think the warnings make it clear enough. All over the step to get into the house. Not even off to the side. Like you can't walk in without walking overtop of this stuff.
This, combined with him opening a ton of windows & decreasing the temperature in the house has me thinking he may be subconsciously trying to spread his sickness. Which,, anything presenting with Neurological symptoms like that is extremely serious.. and we don't know when or if he'll see a doctor, but we know for sure man is not better by any means, and is in fact actively getting worse.
He's also just not..someone we can cohabitat with. For other reasons. But yeah. This has me freaked out, and upset. I know we can't really do much about it unless we can prove beyond a doubt he's trying to infect people but that'd feel like overkill even if we could. (Biological warfare charge - very serious, needs serious proof.)
TDLR;
Super gross roommate who refuses to see a doctor despite having everything he'd need to see one, and no clear barriers to doing so, refuses to seek treatment for something that could be life threatening for my wife and I, and he's clearly been lying about his condition, so we're freaked out and want out ASAP.

What makes a golem a golem? I see a lot of media that calls any sort of construct or manmade being a golem but I feel like that’s not right? I see a lot of people see Frankenstein’s monster is a golem for example.
Great question that I'm probably going to end up answering in like four different directions!
Also, sorry for the delay, I saw this, thought wow, this deserves a thoughtful response, and then got busy for two weeks with travel and family stuff!
Okay, so usual disclaimers that I am not the holder of the One True Jewish Opinion and that folklore can be wibbly, but here's my basic take on what makes a golem a golem.
There are a few positions I'm going to explore here on "what is a Golem" -
The most literal/traditional definition from pre-20th century writings.
The most inclusive - Every Constructed Man Is A Golem and/or if someone calls it a Golem it must be one.
The appropriation-observation - That Mech Isn't A Golem, But It's A Problem That It's Pretending To Be.
Also: Full Disclosure: My personal opinion is definitely somewhere in the "Golem means a specific thing, but it gets misappropriated a lot and that's bad" range.
In the most literal & traditional sense, a Golem is a formerly inanimate anthropomorphic shaped clump of Something (most traditionally clay or dirt or rock) brought to life by the magic of the Hebrew alphabet. Golems also lack free will - whatever you tell them to do, they do, and generally they are portrayed as very literal in how they interpret instructions. They are also, in the earliest examples, mute.
Golem folklore goes back into at least Talmudic times (first centuries common era), with examples of Rabbi such-and-such making golems using Hebrew names or the word for truth in middle ages. Our modern conceptions are also typically heavily grounded in the writings of the Maharal of Prague (Judah Loew ben Bezalel), who lived and wrote in the 16th century. Although relatively recent, the Maharal and his golem he deactivated so it wouldn't have to work on Shabbos are the most famous at this point.
Many of these stories understood golems as both general household help and as potential protectors of the Jewish community. The Maharal in particular engaged with the latter angle.
I do not think that the most exclusive interpretation of what we call golems, at least alone is helpful for modern discourse. Having a base understanding is useful though.
Roughly, tradition tells us that a golem is a traditionally clay-based constructed humanoid figure brought to life by the power of the written Hebrew language and operates without free will and usually without speech. They are not evil, just literal AF, and need to be handled with care - both with respect to their behavior and by some accounts, how the golem itself is treated.
This is a fairly restrictive definition. The opposite view is that anything that looks like, is called as, or vibes like a golem counts. In my observation, this is usually in the interest of calling out misappropriated golems.
I basically see three problems with the "everything is a Golem" camp:
It's NOT a one-to-one, but there are other manmade alive-but-not figures that fill similar roles outside of Jewish folklore. I'm not saying that a Talon (Greek) or Shabti (Egyptian) Tupilaq (Inuit) are exact equivalent to Golems, I'm saying that if a creator from a background with a constructed person-like entity as part of their traditions creates media with constructed person-like entity we should hear the contextual horses not zebras.
If something is a golem, we need something to not be. If we wanted to be very expansive, one could even argue that household robots like Rosie from The Jetsons are Golem analogues, which would be fun to argue, but one would be wrong. Basically, I oppose "anything is this specific thing" definitions.
There are lots of pieces of media that misappropriate golems (and other Jewish folklore, but that's a song for another time), but it's important to me that we save that label for Actual Problematic Appropriation, not literally anything that could possibly count because of vibes or whatever.
I do think we should be immediately suspicious of that which is labeled by creators as Golems when the creators are not Jewish. Why is gentile creator insisting this is a thing from a community they are not part of???
I sympathize with the assessment that misappropriated golems and golem analogues abound, because they do. This brings me to my own view.
For me - I think the best ways to determine if x is a Golem or Golem-analogue, misappropriated or otherwise, is to explore the following three questions:
Does it line up to the traditional description?
Do the creators insist that it is a Golem and/or do we have reason to believe they were influenced by Golem stories?
Is there a community consensus from the culture of origin - Jewish - that this piece of media is a Golem or Golem analogue? [by far the trickiest to determine].
I think there are basically three answers you could land on: definitely a Golem, definitely not a Golem, and some middle ground of inspiration from the thing.
Since the example given was Frankenstein, I'll run that as a sample:
Eh. I see where people are coming from on this one, I do, but I don't think the evidence is damning here. We could nitpick on the physically different aspects - the lack of Hebrew inscription, people instead of dirt/clay, the electricity bringing to life, but I actually think the thematic differences are more relevant. Golems are explicitly under the control of their creator, have a (relatively) easy on/off switch, are generally intended for good purposes (household help, self-defense), and regarded as part of the household (most narratives have Golems not working on Shabbat). Although I wouldn't say Frankenstein's Monster is evil, there's a very different relationship and operation that is much more horror-y than folklore-y at the end of the day.
Shelley never straight-up said the monster was a Golem. Although Golem narratives go back much earlier, their debut to the wider world was in 1808 through the Brothers Grimm's submission to a literary journal, Journal of Hermits. In 1808 and 1812 we see clear departures from traditional Jewish narratives in the write-up's from the Grimm brothers. It's perfectly plausible she interacted with Golem or Golem-esque ideas through her intellectual circles in this way.
There is not community consensus that Frankenstein's Monster = Golem. There are definitely Jews who hold this position, but it's not a community consensus by any means.
In this case, at least for Shelley's 1816 publication (not getting into later stuff or movies), inspiration from the Brother's Grimm bastardization is probable, but ultimately I'd say not a Golem.
As per usual, OP (or anyone else) is welcome to follow-up, other Jews welcome to add stuff, goyim welcome to reblog!

Theitsa they are doing it again! Now they depict Andromeda as black African princess and people again in the comments are trying to debate it and make it again about color instead of ethnicity...😅
Literally no one is even questioning how problematic and rude it is to take a character from GREEK mythology and erasing it from it's ethnicity.
oooooof.......
Disclaimers:
>> No skintone is superior or "better" than others. This blog doesn't stand for that
>> Greek culture has space for all people
>> It would be equally inaccurate to present Andromeda with the appearance of a North European, like blue eyes and blonde
To the video:
>> The video misrepresented the location of Aethiopia (Andromeda was middle eastern, not South African! Andromeda is the mother of Persians, according to our mythology, who are... Asian!)
>> The video disregards all ancient Greek texts and depictions of Andromeda. I don't know how to say this but.... if you are speaking about myths from another culture, better respect the texts and the depictions of the culture. Regarding Greek culture, it is a cultural convention to follow our depictions.
>> The video creators probably based her depiction off Ovid's description which was 1) the only one of its kind saying Andromeda had dark skin 2) Racist af the way he wrote it 3) Ovid is a hack and misrepresented Greek myths a lot (people seriously discourage having Ovid as a source. He pulled many things out of his ass and ignored the actual Greek myths)
>> The channel that produced the video is Afrocentric in the negative sense of the word. The viewers themselves write blanket statements that are historically inaccurate, like "people forgot that all Egyptian dynasties were black except for the last dynasty which is the Ptelomaic dynasty", "The original Greeks are the Estruscians and Minoans who are Nubian Cushites" and "Greek mythology is full of Black people and they want to erase us from it", "The Greeks and black Africa were tight. They clearly got along without racism. They lived during a time when Africans were highly respected while Europeans ( other than Greeks) were feared and rejected as barbarians. Greek and Roman descriptions of other Europeans were frightening. Their descriptions of black Africans were filled with awe and respect."
I would be extremely happy if these statements were factually true - if our people had very close ties with African nations, if ancient Greeks spoke highly of Africans and didn't represent them stereotypically, etc - but it's not supported by archaeological evidence. To ignore the evidence is to spit to the effort and intelligence of generations of Greeks and xenoi who have gathered and continue to gather this evidence.
Let's not stand a lot to the more voyeuristic and fetishizing comments about "Black"* women. They speak for themselves. But may I stand on a while on other comments that reek of conspiracy theorist logic... "it's sad how blind people can be to Truth." and "That's why the jealousy to destroy and re-educate is so great. The Envy of the ancestors", "No wonder I was obsessed with so called Greek mythology because it’s our people not theirs."
Bro
ΜΠΡΟ
ΜΠΡΟΟΟ
Stop calling all historians and archaeologists worldwide hacks! Please, for the love of whatever you hold dear. They've been trying to uncover as much as they can! Greeks, Egyptians, and all sorts of people with all sorts of appearances are in this domain! It's not to their advantage to hide anything! Not worldwide! Not even in the US, to be honest. (The research there is exhaustive too, and biases don't stay covered for long)
The results not fitting your ideal image doesn't mean they are fake. Do I really need to explain how much, constant work archaeologists do, and how most of them strive to reach the truth as much as possible?? If there were depictions of Andromed as "Black"* and ancient Greek texts that supported it, and people were hiding them or destroying them, yes, then I would agree that something bad was going on. But that's just not the case!
Systemic oppression, racism, and biases in scientific domains are very real, don't get me wrong. But Andromeda's depiction has little to do with it. We have overwhelming archaeological evidence of how she looked, and it would be wrong to ignore them. Not only out of respect for the culture one is entertained by, but also because that's the objective reality.
Here you can find a huge detailed, exhaustive essay about the appearance and ethnicity of Andromeda, with sources and depictions. It is more empowering to have your facts straight than to believe appealing falsehoods.
