Cirque des Planetes : Saturn, the Fortune Teller

A stern grandmother. Nobody knows how old she is. She is blind, yet has seen it all, including things that are yet to happen. She rarely leaves her tent, and when she does, it’s never a good sign, for her implacable prophecies are feared by all, even some of her own family. Those who heard them are never quite the same as they were before. Therefore, she only accepts clients who have the courage -and the money- to discover the darkest truths that their future holds.

Your Partnership Issues & the 7th House

The 7th house is associated with both romantic and business partners.

Aries in the 7th House - Libra Rising

You dive headfirst into relationships, but let’s be real—impulsive arguments can be a thing. That fiery Aries vibe might spark some competitive energy with your partner. Finding the balance between wanting your freedom and being in a relationship can get tricky; you might feel a little smothered or start to rebel against commitment. So, how can you cut the drama and just be straight up about what you want?

Taurus in the 7th House - Scorpio Rising

Possessiveness can creep in, and jealousy might create some serious tension with your partner. Stubbornness could make compromise feel like an uphill battle. You love your stability, but that can sometimes keep you stuck in relationships that aren’t serving you—just to avoid dealing with change. What’s it gonna take for you to loosen up and let someone in?

Gemini in the 7th House - Sagittarius Rising

Consistency? Not really your thing. Committing can be tough, and your partners might end up feeling a bit neglected because of it. Communication hiccups are bound to happen, leading to misunderstandings that leave you both frustrated. Plus, you might find yourself prioritizing your social life over those deeper emotional connections, which can leave you feeling kind of blah. What’s your plan to actually show up for the people who matter?

Cancer in the 7th House - Capricorn Rising

Emotional dependency could be a vibe for you, and you might end up clinging a little too much to your partner, which can feel overwhelming for them. Fear of vulnerability might put a wall between you two, making it hard to truly connect. Plus, old emotional baggage can resurface, messing with your ability to trust and feel secure in your relationships. How about you drop the clinginess and just be real about your feelings for once?

Leo in the 7th House - Aquarius Rising

Ego clashes and dramatic moments can pop up in your relationships. Power struggles might turn into a competition for the spotlight, which isn’t great for connection. When things get heated, resolving conflicts can feel like a circus—lots of emotion, but not much calm in sight! How can you dial down the theatrics and actually listen to your partner instead of just waiting for your turn to talk?

Virgo in the 7th House - Pisces Rising

Over-criticism and a perfectionist streak could lead to some serious dissatisfaction in your love life. Worrying way too much about the status of your relationships can create tension and mistrust. Plus, if expressing your feelings is a struggle, misunderstandings can turn into emotional distance faster than you can say “awkward.” When are you going to cut yourself some slack and stop nitpicking everything?

Libra in the 7th House - Aries Rising

Making decisions can be a challenge for you, which might leave your partner feeling frustrated and a bit neglected. You have that people-pleaser vibe, leading you to ignore your own needs for the sake of harmony. Relying on others’ approval might mess with your self-esteem, making relationships feel a little complicated. How about you start making choices for yourself instead of just trying to keep the peace?

Scorpio in the 7th House - Taurus Rising

Trust issues can wreak havoc in your romantic life, causing you to push partners away or create unnecessary drama. In business, you might struggle with power dynamics, leading to manipulative behaviors that can damage professional relationships. Emotional highs and lows can complicate your partnerships, making it hard to maintain stability in both love and work. When are you going to stop playing games and just be honest with your partners?

Sagittarius in the 7th House - Gemini Rising

Your need for freedom can lead to commitment issues in romantic partnerships, causing conflicts with partners who seek stability. In business, restlessness might have you jumping from project to project without seeing them through, which can affect your reputation. Plus, cultural or philosophical differences might create misunderstandings with both romantic partners and colleagues, complicating your relationships. So, are you ready to grow up and find some balance between your freedom and your commitments?

Capricorn in the 7th House - Cancer Rising

You might find that focusing too much on ambition overshadows emotional connections in romantic relationships, leaving your partner feeling neglected. In business, your rigid expectations can lead to disappointment when others don’t meet your standards, which might strain professional relationships. Plus, fear of vulnerability can keep you from building strong connections, affecting your success in both love and work. How long are you going to keep your walls up instead of letting people in?

Aquarius in the 7th House - Leo Rising

In romantic partnerships, your unconventional approach might lead to conflicts with partners who have traditional views. In business, emotional detachment can result in misunderstandings, as you might prioritize logic over feelings, causing colleagues to feel undervalued. Plus, difficulty distinguishing between friendship and romance can create confusion, complicating your relationships in both areas. When are you going to get your head out of the clouds and actually connect with the people around you?

Pisces in the 7th House - Virgo Rising

Idealizing your partners can lead to major disillusionment when they don’t live up to your expectations. You might find yourself escaping into daydreams instead of dealing with relationship issues, leaving things unresolved. And if setting boundaries is tough for you, it could result in codependency or some emotional manipulation, which isn’t cute! What’s stopping you from putting your foot down and setting some real boundaries?

Hey Damien is this a homestuck au? Yes.

Raz is unfortunately one of those characters I could imagine being a plethora of different blood colors with different reasonings but I landed on purple bc I thought I’d be the most fun.

Reasonings for it being-

Circus themed

Some semblance of psychics

Proximity to water with enough plausible deniability for an AU equivalent water curse to exist

Maligula makes a cool purple blood ancestor

And Raz has multiple non-canon possible birthdates, his MySpace says he’s a Capricorn (which is technically unrelated to one’s blood color as Karkat is a Gemini and Dammek is probably a Sagittarius but yknow it’s funny)

I also decided to make Lili a human for the fun of it since she has a 4 letter name and all

the ideal career for you

from left to right; intuitively choose the pile you feel more connected to. To make it easier, you can take a deep breathe, close your eyes and ask for guidance to your deities or guides. These are all general messages, so just take what resonates and leave what doesn't. This reading is timeless. If it resonates, feedback is always appreciated and motivates to keep doing pick a card readings. You can donate here.

divider: @animatedglittergraphics-n-more

pile 1

the moon, 7 of wands, ten of cups

this pile includes 18+ themes, so please skip over it if you are under 18. You can pick other pile.

with this pile, I'm getting a lot of possible careers coming through. I feel like many of you might end up working in careers that require you to work at night or until night. However, I do also see that some type of fame and recognition is very possible here and that you will keep this air of mystery, regardless of how famous and known you are. Some people reading this pile might even have more than one career from these options throughout their lives or even change it up a bit later on in life when you are more stable, looking forward to the field that truly makes you happy and fulfilled.

Now, some of you this indicates jobs in public eye. Some of you will be entertainers and bring joy to others. This can mean being an actor, singer, artist, musician, a comedian, a dancer or even could mean being an illusionist, working at the circus or at the entertainment part of hotels and touristic areas.

This might be especially true if you have leo and 9th house placements, if you love to sing, if you like to dye your hair or paint your nails. It might also resonate if your initials are C, K or M. Some of you who like to wear bold eyeliners can also resonate with this.

For some of you, I feel like you might end up becoming strippers (and yes this includes some men reading this) and get even some popularity from this. While this is sex work, keep in mind it still is counted as entertainment by many. Alternatively, you could go into burlesque/cabaret or similar things. Later on, for some of you, I do see a career change into something new you'll fall in love with but this will keep you afloat for a long time and many of you will enjoy it, especially due to the money. Others will make enough money to retire early or even leave early and just invest and live life. Now please, keep in mind that for those of you in this field, it is important for you to keep yourself safe and work in regulated spaces.

This could especially resonate for you if you have a couple tattoos, that know how to belly dance, that like smoothies, that have curly hair, that wear glasses/contacts, that love working out or go on shopping sprees. If you have a tongue piercing, it could also be a sign it resonates. Extra confirmation of any of you are aquarius, leo or virgo, especially with moon in scorpio or moon in capricorn.

Alternatively, some of you could end up working as dj's at clubs, bartenders or even bodyguards. This seems like it will actually help you meet a lot of people, make connections and network. I see some people even managing or owning nightclubs/bars later in life. The same could go for motels/hotels, although the sexual theme is being compelled here, so I think a motel seems somewhat likely for those of you this resonates with.

I feel like for some of you, you might become teachers/professors who give night lectures at universities or even to bigger audiences in important conferences. I feel like your input in your field will be extremely important. For those who will follow this teaching path, I feel like you will either be a political science, sociology, sexology or arts/entertainment teacher. And some of you could even end up having some minor career in politicians (like being a deputy/congress person in a parliament).

I feel like this one can apply for everyone in this group, so there is a chance any of you do end up doing this later in life out of passion.

For those of you thinking of going into investing into property or in general, I feel like this will go extremely well for you. Again you might invest in nightclubs/motels like i mentioned or even in rehabilitating older houses in usually less appealing neighborhoods, giving it a new life and appreciation and increasing thr value and safety of the area. If you want to invest in stocks instead, definitely invest in things related to the topics above. For some of you, I heard "invest in HIV research" so pick medicine companies that are working on researching it and creating cures/treatments. I'm also getting a special warning to not invest into crypto/nfts if you pick this pile.

pile 2

7 of pentacles; Tower; 3 of wands; Queen of Cups

I'm getting that some of you might get a career that has a long path to go through and that might include having a lot of patience. I feel like this could indicate some of you will have to study a lot and spend years and thousands on education to get this career, which leads me to think some of you are becoming doctors or medical practitioners. Alternatively, you could be in a career that will require you to start with low paying entry level jobs, but that will take you to the top positions that will be extremely well paid. I see that for some, this could also indicate having to go through an unpaid or lowly paid internship in order to make your way into the field or being in a job that doesn't pay you well and overworks you before switching to a better one.

For some of you, this wait in order to collect the seeds of your labour can be literal as in becoming a gardener, a farmer or even similar jobs in agricultural management or even owning a flower shop. This could, in a few cases, also involve baking and cooking and all the time that can go into it.

There are a group of you that this wait refers to working on your psychic and intuitive abilities as well as on your spiritual knowledge to the point of mastery and make a career out of it.

Like I mentioned before, I do see many healers, doctors and medics coming out of this pile, psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists are also coming in strong. Some might also go into traditional medicine and hollistic practices, maybe even reiki, energy work or medical astrology. I see that checking your 12th house or pisces placements either on your solar chart or on your midheaven persona chart can help you confirm this information.

Those of you that are thinking about going into therapy and psychology are being recommended to look into specializing in anger management and conflict resolution, so possibly something like family and couple therapy.

There could also be some of you that create youtube channels/instagram pages to help others with your knowledge and tips.

A small percentage of you might end up becoming a military medic/doctor/nurse as well, specializing in helping wounded soldiers. On the same note, a military cook is also possible.

It is also very important to note for everyone who picked this pile that your career might cause you emotional overwhelm or pressure, so always be sure to protect your energy and not allow yourself to be too drained.

This strong energy also takes me to believe some of you will be writers or artists, which also makes sense for the time aspect of this reading, as making art or writing can be time consuming. Some of you could even become freelancers or start creative industry enterprises/businesses.

These are just extra confirmations, so if nothing of these signs match you, it doesn't mean the pile is wrong for you.

This could resonate especially if you've recently watched a documentary or movie touching on the subjects of oppression, if you're in university or if you have been to university and if you have ever worked a waiter/public service job. If you enjoy stuff like Silent Hill and Red Dead Redemption, this could also resonate with you. Same if you like purple and blue or are wearing either. Extra confirmation if you're a taurus, gemini, aries or capricorn. Also if you specifically have a libra venus in either tropical or vedic.

pile 3

Lovers, Death, Star, Tower, Four of Pentacles

This pile has a brief mention of de*th and s**cide, so if you're very sensitive to those topics, please avoid this pile.

With the number of major arcanas here, I feel like whatever career you end up picking, you will have an important role in the area and maybe do something very groundbreaking in it. You'll be essential in your job/career and could even change the world in a way with it. No matter how small of a change it is, it will still be impactful.

The career will involve other people or at least one more person to some degree, this could be either a business/work partner or work involving clients or the public.

I'm getting two main groups here. One group will be focusing on healing and some type of therapy, especifically involving death. So this could be councilling focused on helping disaster survivors or grief therapy to help people who lost their loved ones or witnessed traumatic deaths. You will essentially be very important to help them move on and find themselves again. Because the Star can be related to peace, being true to one self and healing, you will definitely help people heal and find their peace and meaning in life again. For some of you, you could also help people who attempted suicide or have suicidal tendencies, helping them to work through this. You will help people who have lost everything and you'll help them rebuild their lives back up with healthier and better foundations, allowing them to feel more secure and in control of themselves and their lives.

For the other group, I feel like your work will be focusing more on creative industries. This could be publishing and marketing for some, however I feel like many of you will embark on music and acting careers, which will help many people also heal and have healthy coping mechanisms.

I feel like your music or your acting (mainly acting) will allow you to become separate from yourself for a moment by wearing another persona and putting yourself in someone else's shoes, but also will allow you to explore different aspects of yourself, giving you a deeper understanding of yourself and others. For some, this could be a musical theatre career. If not, you could become a music composer for movies and shows or even a music producer.

I'm also seeing some of you will be a play writer or a movie writer/director. I feel like there might be moments of your career you won't feel as valued, but rest assured there will be millions loving your work. You might also have extremely innovative ideas for the field and do things, create storylines no one has ever really seen before. You could even create a new genre of cinema or a new wave/style of film.

For a smaller percentage of you, I'm also seeing that you might be doing something money/management related, so an investor or establishing a new business/company that might help people around the world.

Extra confirmation if you like rock n' roll or watched an Elvis Presley movie/documentary or read a tweet about him recently. If you consume true crime, especially from the 80's, if you enjoy the aesthetic of the circus. It might also resonate if you listen to Britney and/or Mariah or if your favorite color is red. If you like high heels, especially louboutins, or enjoy using red/dark lipsticks, or shaved your legs in the previous 3 days, this is also extra confirmation for you. Could also apply if you're a scorpio, sagittarius or pisces.

[knight-of-the-graces]

Hey, um… with the whole “Bluejay!Jason” concept… has anybody ever considered it as an Inkheart reference instead of just a play off his name?

Follow me here, and sorry in advance, this turned into a ramble.

In the second book of the Inkheart trilogy, Inkspell, one of the main protagonists adopts a Robin Hood-esque approach to defeating the tyrant king, and adopts the name of ‘The Bluejay’ from famous folk legends and songs written by a beloved poet and often sung by travelling minstrels. He’s -Inkspell spoilers ahead, though this book is unironically older than I am- known for toppling said tyrant’s throne through the binding of a magic book (a recurring theme throughout the series, if you’ve never read it, which you should). He’s a champion among the Motley Folk, who were that world’s equivalent to a travelling circus and also regularly aid him in his quest to topple the Adderhead (the tyrant king mentioned above), and sought to help the poor and downtrodden. The Bluejay is aided and abetted by his family and friends, which include a shapeshifting wife, a daughter with the ability to make anything she reads come true, a fire-dancer who can speak to the flames, and a knife-throwing 'circus' prince with a black bear companion. (They're not called the Motley Folk for no reason, people!)

Now, consider for a moment: Little Jason Todd, in the local library, absolutely devouring the Inkheart series. It's everything a little kid could dream of in a fantasy book! And there's three of these fat books, what more could you possibly want? And he has an excuse to sit in a warm, safe building for a few hours.

Now imagine, Inkspell becomes his comfort book. Of course it does- every kid had one, and I can't imagine an orphan who grew up alone on the streets of Gotham picking anything other than a story about a strange man helping the opressed and downtrodden in a land he grows to call his own with the help of his family- and The Bluejay is an excellent father to his daughter, too, of course Jason pictured himself as part of that family, as whisked away into that world.

And of course, the rest of the series is wonderful too -Inkheart is where it all began, after all, and Inkdeath is the final triumph over evil!-, but Inkspell is a story about becoming. About learning to be more than you were born as- after all, if Mo the simple bookbinder could become the hero The Bluejay, what could Jason the street orphan become?

Maybe, instead of discovering this book in a library, he found it in the trash. And maybe he wondered, as he read it, why anyone would ever want to throw away the tale of Mo the Blujay, of Meggie the Silvertongue, of Resa the brave swift, of Dustfinger the loyal Fire-Dancer? (And maybe the last one took a while to get there, but he did get there! Eventually! And maybe Jason can understand why it took Dustfinger so long to truly come to trust someone again, because trust is a terribly dangerous thing to give to someone, because you can never really know what they'll do with it.) Maybe he read it through without knowing anything about Capricorn or The Shadow or why they feared the man named Basta, because they hadn't thrown away the first book, only the second. Maybe he wept for the death of Dustfinger, at the very end, because he didn't know that Death wouldn't keep him, because they hadn't thrown away the third book.

Maybe Inkspell found its place among his most treasured possessions. Maybe, when he met Batman and Bruce Wayne in one night and his life changed forever, Inkspell came with him, with its familiar story and characters and world and sorrows.

Maybe one of the first things Bruce did, upon seeing Jason reading that same battered old paperback, was to order Inkheart and Inkdeath and leave them in his room. Maybe that was when Jason started to realize that he wasn't going to leave forever.

(Maybe Jason and Dick would play Motley Folk together, because Dick was in the circus and could most certainly throw knives, even if it gave Bruce a heart attack every time he saw it.)

And maybe, after he could no longer have Robin, he remembered that old paperback book, that old story and that old world, and he thought of a new name for himself.

Bluejay, he thought, as he picked up the book that had been his constant companion for so many years. I'll be The Bluejay.

(I don't really know what this is. I saw some Bluejay!Jason art the other day and just started thinking of the Inkheart trilogy and the fact that Jason would absolutely have read it and probably loved it. And then it spiralled.)

[starsnores]

i really love the idea of the clowns as nomadic bc y'know circus stuff. always moving from town to town for performances. Do you think that would make the transition from living on alternia to always living in space easier or harder? idk how this would shake out on alternia after that decree, maybe just the older trolls keeping the travelling circus alive, becoming their tradition to pass down even though they've been cut off from a lot of older knowledge. Maybe there's an annual large festival, just massive, bc i always have really loved the imagery of baby gamzee in shock and awe at all the cool circus stuff. And when the morning comes they burn it all down to start preparing for the next sweep. And maybe i could integrate that into my au, as part of gamzee's backstory, bc i know chahut meets him and decides that he's her project before she has to leave. Maybe it coudl be that she finds a sad little capricorn staring at the raging fire while the sun threatens to rise.

He then dated a 16 year old boy, while being 17 as well, as they broke up after the two were falling apart. When he was 21, he dated a non-binary person, who was 19, only for it to end when Martin turned 24. He had a crush on Koki during high school, but she rejected him gently and told him she likes girls, which he understood and the two still remained friends.

Martin has the mouth of the sailor, which can surprise anyone.

Martin has ✨ ADHD ✨

Martin can go feral whenever something happens to the crew or family, ESPECIALLY, to Chris. So watch out! The reason why he's overprotective is that there was an incident with Chris, which made him turned against his father and vows to keep Chris safe, no matter what.

Martin does funny pranks, they're tamed and funny, but still, the crew could be annoyed by it.

Martin is a love expert, and even if he's dumb sometimes, he's also an amazing lover and partner, since he'll never forget how long you dated or your favorite flowers.

Martin has a fear of clowns, the reason why is because when he was 3, he and his mom went to the circus. He enjoyed the show, but he needed to use the bathroom and left, without informing his mother, but as he went to find the bathroom, a clown saw and followed him. Martin noticed, and got scared as the clown tried to take him and pull him into a room. He panicked, screamed, cried, and tried to pull away, before his mother saw and yelled at the guy, as he ran off, turned out that guy didn't work at the circus, as he tried to kidnap boys for his own sick dreams.

Past Relationships

Chris hasn't been in the dating game, though, he did date someone back then. The girl was a popular cheerleader at high school, when Chris was 16 and a nerd back then, but she embarrassed Chris during high school for being a nerd and embarrassingly clumsy or shy. Chris was humiliated, but he turned it to determination as he worked out, changed his outfits, and felt confident... While being insecure.

Headcanons

Before Chris wanted to do animal rescuing, he used like singing. He has an amazing voice, but he never sings in front of anyone, even Martin, but when he's alone, he sings to music he listens to.

In the friend group, Chris is the same thing as Martin, but he's smart enough to behave... Sometimes.

Chris loves his brother Martin, but the one thing he doesn't like is him being over protective, it makes him smothered, annoyed, and jealous how Martin can do anything, while Chris has to 'be careful', but Martin doesn't know, cause Chris doesn't wanna hurt his feelings, so he keeps it pent up.

Chris has ✨ Autism ✨

Even if Chris dated a beautiful girl, he has a huge crush for goths.

On his birthday, he collects rocks that are left on his window, making him confused, but keeps anyways cause they're pretty.

Chris knows 2 languages, German and Spanish.

Chris is a picky eater, he has certain tastes he hates like olives, pickles, burgers, mustard, etc. And mostly a health nut.

Chris is a romantic person but they hide it very well, after getting humiliated, and if he shows it, he's very clumsy, when doing so.

Chris is the #1 hater of Martin's jokes.

Chris is an insomniac, which he hates to be.

The brothers will eat a pepper, but Chris wouldn't feel it, even when his brother is dying.

Chris was kidnapped for ransom when he was 16, while his father forced him to go to the store to get some food for the family. His father wasn't even going to pay the kidnappers the ransom money, since he is very greedy and he thinks its punishment for being bisexual... He was found a couple of weeks later, traumatized and scared of the dark.

Backstory

Martin and Chris were both brothers in the Kratt Family, with their parents names being Linda and William Kratt and they have twin young sisters, named Christine and Susan, who were 18. Their parents got into a divorce, when Linda found out William cheated on her, and the siblings got to choose where to stay, where Susan and the brothers chose to stay with their mother in Canada.

Chris's relationship with his parents is half good and bad, good is his mother, who loves him, cares for him, and even supported him when he came out as bisexual, however, his father is distant, cruel to both brothers, tries to force sexism and his business job into them, and homophobic, where he outright hates Chris for being bisexual, making Chris heartbroken, as he was a daddy's boy.

Martin's relationship was like Chris's, only with him being a mama's boy and he despised his father, when he was 19 years old and Chris went missing. After he found out his dad literally sent Chris to he captured and wasn't going to pay his brothers freedom, he let out all of his anger and went feral, to the point he left his father bruised, bloody, and scared. He hated him ever since, and never even went into contact with him after he took Wild Kratt's idea and made it real.

The brothers love for the sisters is like the parents, where the two love Susan, who adores them, and sees Martin as a father figure, and supports Chris, even buying him a pride flag. However, they don't like Christine that much, since she's a total daddy's girl, where Martin felt bad for Christine for liking the man, and Chris is jealous of Christine for her getting the love while he can't.

Martin wanted to save animals when he was young, after watching an animal show, where there are bad people who take good and wonderful creatures and hurt them for their own selfish needs, so he vows to save any animals, be it pets, birds, rodents, even some insects. His father thinks it's dumb, while most people don't like Martin saving any animals, but his mother, sister, and Chris supports this idea, even with Chris joining in, and that actually helps Martin out to save many animals.

Martin got the idea to save animals around the world, but was hesitant to hire Chris, who begged and was excited to join, because he heard he'll have to face people who tries to hurt these sweet animals, and he's worried his brother would be hurt, but after thinking about it, and some reassurance and excitement from Chris, he, reluctantly, agreed, and thus! The Kratt Brothers created the Wild Kratts Show!

Past Relationships

Aviva was forced into in only one, which ended badly. Aviva dated a guy when she was 18 and heading to college, only to find out her boyfriend was a controlling, abusive cheater, who tries to keep Aviva where she lives, so he can control her, but once she left, he began to stalk and follow her, to the point she put a restraining order on him, but... He breaks it, though, she doesn't know... Yet.

Headcanons

In the group of friends, Aviva is definitely the mom friend, taking care of the group, including the brothers.

Aviva wears glasses, but she has ok visions without them, too, but mostly, she wears glasses.

Aviva is very flexible, since she used to do gymnastics when she was 7.

Aviva couldn't handle criticism, so be careful with what you say.

Aviva chews her nails when she is nervous.

Aviva cries while watching disney movies.

Without MatPats theories, Aviva knows the FNAF Lore.

Aviva hates being alone.

Like Chris, Aviva knows some languages too, like French, German, Russian, and Italian.

Aviva got a secret admirer from poems, which makes her gushy and giddy, or nervous and scared, due to her ex.

Aviva has a fear of closed spaces, because during her relationship with her abusive boyfriend, he got angry and shoved her into a crate, locked her in, and buried her alive. She was panicking, scared as this didn't happen to her before, until a few hours after her panicking, Aviva's sister came to visit and let her out, worried. That's when they broke up and she hates closed spaces.

Backstory

Aviva has a mother, named Imelda, sister, named Tia, step father, named Eduardo, and step brother, named Roman. She has a father, named Carlos, who was an inventor and shown Aviva his greatest invention, even making suits for people whenever he needs. But he died, when she was 3 and her sister was 2, from a car crash, she missed him deeply, to the point she wanted to follow his footsteps of being an inventor.

She loves her mom and sister dearly, while they love and care for her, even supporting her dreams of being an inventor. She doesn't like her step dad and brother, however, as they're sexist jerks, trying to make Aviva give up on her dream, even setting her up with her ex. She hates them, but used their rudeness and sexist remarks as fuel for her determination, as she began to go to college and get a job at the Wild Kratts.

Past Relationships

Koki used to date a couple of girls in college, it didn't end well, as the first girl was straight and pretended to date Koki for a place to stay, while cheating on Koki with a guy she was with before. The second relationship was a bet-like relationship, like the person bet they can date that person for a while. Well Koki began to close off on love in general, until she met Aviva and began to fall for her.

Martin did confess his feelings for Koki, but she rejected him for two reasons, her sexuality and her struggle with love. Martin can relate and offer to help her find love, so when he finds out she likes Aviva, he mostly helps her out by either getting them to hang out together or even leaving gifts for Aviva, as Koki gave him an ok to do so.

Headcanons

In the group of friends, Koki's the one gay emo best friend. She is closed off from everyone, but her group of friends, which is the crew.

Koki has a creature power suit like the trio, but she rarely uses the suit, unless it's absolutely necessary.

Koki enjoys wearing grunge or gothic like outfits, it makes her feel comfortable and relaxed.

Koki forgets to eat most of the time.

Koki writes poems for people she likes, even Aviva, which Martin gives to Aviva in secret.

Koki eats spicy food like Chris, and sometimes, the two battle it out to see who can eat more spice... Never ends well.

When she was around 2 to 3, she got abused by her mom as she cut and hurt Koki, to the point she bleeds, making her panic more which gets her hurt more than before. She began to be nervous around blood, making her even scared of before, making her freeze up, when she sees blood.

Backstory

Like I said, she was abused by her alcoholic mother, named Brianna, who was in a divorce with her father, named Axel, who has another family with a mom, Michonne, with 2 sons and a daughter, 21 year old named Marion, 18 year old named Julian, and a 17 year old named Becca, she has a twin brother, but they got separated, due to him being sold away to another family, since her mother don't want to deal with two kids, sadly, Koki never got the chance to find him. Koki hated staying with her mom, even changing her name to Koki, since she was named after her mother, so she goes by the name her father wanted to name her instead of her mother, which was his mother's name, Koki.

After she moved out of her mom's when she was 4, she bonded with her new family. Michonne treats her like a daughter and Koki adores her like a mother, while her siblings bond with her like siblings. She was intrigued by her father's tech skills, and he taught her how to do it, since the others don't seem interested in it. After she went to college and went to join the Kratts, the family supported her, meanwhile she cut off her mother for good.

Past Relationships

JZ didn't get into a relationship, in fact, he doesn't really think much of it, he doesn't really mind, since he has friends with the crew, who supports him, no matter what. He's just happy to be there, you know?

Headcanons

JZ was a big fan of anime, not those weird ones, like MHA, Death Note, Attack On Titans, Demon Slayer, and Spy x Family, though, no one knows, cause he doesn't wanna look weird.

In the group of friends, JZ is the quiet guy who keeps it to himself, unless someone wants to talk to him.

JZ is the baby of the group, since he's the youngest, which they care for and protect him. He doesn't mind it, but it makes him feel smothered and weak, so he sometimes thinks about sneaking off to fight bad guys like Martin and Chris.

JZ suffers from anxiety and PTSD.

JZ is in therapy most of the time, in order to control his fears.

JZ has a snack stashed hidden somewhere, where no one, not even his closest friends, even know where it is.

JZ enjoys Martin's dumb jokes, or anything dumb to laugh at.

JZ will remind others in the midst of chaos how good he's being.

JZ was banned from drinking energy drinks.

JZ plays games like Doki Doki, FNAF, and Detroit Become Humans.

JZ is a sleepwalker, and Chris and Koki know about it.

JZ has a creature power suit, but it is very, very, very, very, VERY rare to see him with one.

JZ has noise canceling headphones when he's stressed or scared when a storm comes. He uses them at night to sleep, and if he doesn't have them, he has bad dreams about his parents death and the car accident he was in as a 2 year old.

Backstory

Out of the group, JZ has the calmest backstory here, though it did start with tragedy. He had two loving parents back then, until they died in a car accident on a stormy night, as a thunder struck onto a tree and it fell, crushing the car the family was in. People got JZ out, but his parents died, when the car, immediately, exploded with the two. JZ was horrified by storms since then, as he lost his parents from it.

JZ has to move in with his grandparents, who adore and care for him. His grandmother, Wanda, began to teach him how to cook, knit, and crochet, it helps him feel relaxed and happy to spend time with her. His grandpa, Connor, told him the story of how he used to fly a plane, where JZ was inspired and began to try to save the money to go to flying school.

His grandparents did die tragically, but JZ has nowhere else to go, so he had to stay at the shelter, until he met up with Chris again, who offered him a place to stay, which was the Tortuga, and the group is finally made!

Finally! Made The Crew's New Bio! Hope You Guys Like It! Villains Are Up Next!

[arcadekitten]

I have a really dumb question but what is capella’s zodiac sign? Cause I know she’s a Capricorn as she’s a goat with a dolphin tail but is that her actual zodiac? Stupid question I know but that’s what ADHD does to you😅. Also did you ever think that Yoyo had a different name at birth and just didn’t remember because he was so young when he joined semiaquatic circus or did he just get used to this. I know you’re in a bad place right now but I hope you feel better.

Capella is a capricorn both in physicality and zodiac!

It's not a dolphin tail by the way, it's a swordfish tail!

As for Yoyo I'm sure he has birth name, but this is the name he stays with now and prefers to be called by! He wasn't super-duper young when he joined the circus (he was old enough to know he was stealing, after all)

also thank you ♡

The Writer: Catherine Hellens. She/Her. Queer adult sci-fi fantasy author, Capricorn since January '96, and hopeless romantic on main. Representation: Shannon Lechon @ Azantian Literary Agency. Newsletter: All This Light Falling | Notes from Catherine Hellens

Welcome to my corner of the internet! This blog is a catalog of my babbling and writing-related interests, and will continue to be as long as I can foresee. I enjoy writing intimacy in all shapes, lush scene setting, and detailed emotional headspaces. All of my stories are queernorm and intended for adult audiences.

I'm currently pregaming before going on sub with my Weird Theater Novel, The Great Glavenisean Theater. Here's a little Sparknotes for it~

⊹₊ . ݁_____________

THE GREAT GLAVENISEAN THEATER🎭 Dreamy weird fantasy, standalone. A tailor goes to the big city and gets swept up by a phantasmagorical theater with an interdimensional portal in the stage, and maybe starts to lose his mind in the process. The Night Circus x House of Leaves x Moulin Rouge!

_____________. ݁₊ ⊹ 

I am also currently drafting In the Deep of the Trees, a court intrigue dark fantasy (House of Cards x Annihilation x a dream I had about Terraria), and developing Star White, a romantic science-fantasy/space fairytale (Sleeping Beauty/Snow White x NBC's Hannibal x The Odyssey)

⊹₊ . ݁_____________

My askbox is always open, and I'm down to talk about just about anything~ my newsletter (linked up top) will have more detailed information about my publishing journey, while this tumblr will be a more casual space. There's a lot knocking around in here, and I have so much I can't wait to write and share.

For now, I'll leave you with a few choice words from fellow writers that I treasure like the little gifts they are.

_____________. ݁₊ ⊹ 

[ Romantic and indulgent prose full of filigree, worlds full of whimsy, mystery and a hint of danger, a core of tenderness rooted at the heart of every story. Your writing is always penned in the manner of a love letter not just to the craft or even as an ode to romance but to the subject of love in itself. ] – Camilla Andrew, author of When The Stars Alight

Guide to the Zodiac: The Bard of Rage

"Good people sometimes wish bad things. Good people try bad things, don't you? Good people even do bad things, Once in a while, we do.” - Fred Rogers

Names & Epithets:

The Mirthful One; The Bard of Many Colors; Lord of the Carnival, Our Lord of Detroit, The Ringmaster, He Who Looses the Wolf, The Laughing Messiah, The Old Goat (often but not always derogatory)

Symbolism:

The Symbol of the Bard of Rage, written instead of his name, is ♑, the sign of Capricorn. 

The Sigil of Rage is a stylized face with exaggerated eyebrows. 

The colors associated with the Bard of Rage are pink and purple, and his sacred color is indigo.

Other symbols associated with the Bard of Rage are circus tents, graffiti, sugary bubbling drinks (which are referred to as “Faygo” in this context regardless of brand), the masks of comedy and tragedy, mind-altering substances of all sorts, and above all, clowns.

Appearance/Portrayal:

The Bard of Rage is an inhumanly tall and lanky man, crowned with a wild mass of long hair and two long, twisting horns. He always paints his face, black outlining his eyes and mouth against a white background. He generally is said to keep a calm and laid-back, even lazy demeanor. In anger, the scleras of his eyes are said to turn orange, which is often depicted in art.

The Bard almost always wears his godhood or a variant thereof in purples, pinks, and blacks. His godhood is unique in that it includes a prominent codpiece, or sacred phallus, a symbol of both procreative power and of the wild Id.

Domain/Associations

The Bard is associated with many concepts, but all lead back to the idea of want . It is common to question how a god whose domain is dubbed Rage came to be more concerned with Desire, but this is because the Bard, like the Prince, sets himself against the Aspect of his domain, rather than aligning with it. In the Zodiac Cosmology, Rage is considered a form of inhibition, emotions repressed and bile bitten back, and the Bard’s role is to unleash it.

The Bard’s influence lies at the base of the spine and the seat of the brainstem, breaking down the higher, outer shell of the self and releasing whatever pains or pleasures lie within. The Bard sings to the dark recesses of the soul, and the soul answers.

The Bard is, naturally, a god of drama and theater, and stylized depictions of his smiling and frowning faces are mounted above stages large and small, worldwide. The earliest dramas of ancient history were said to be plays of catharsis, whereby the deepest desires of the audience were played out in a safe, controlled manner. This is a subtle influence of the Bard.

The Bard is a patron of addicts of all kinds, soothing pain under clouds of impulsive behaviors and mind-altering substances. He is the last resort of the ruined, the final salve of those with nowhere else to turn. 

The Bard is also associated with virility. This is self-explanatory and does not require elaboration.

Major Holiday(s): 

There are two main holidays associated with the Bard of Rage. Hallowhonk is the more widespread, celebrated throughout the world on the last day of Capricorn. On this holiday, children dress up as what they want to become or as what they wish to defeat (usually symbolically), then accost their adult neighbors for sweet treats. Refusing to give treats or decorate with intricately-carved and lit vegetables is often grounds for mild vandalism. In the upper midwest of North America, and in other Juggalist enclaves, Hallowhonk can even become violent, as children are allowed free rein to steal from and fight each other for treats, masked in anonymity. Rule of law is temporarily paused on these occasions. In some cultures, this same approach is extended to adults on Hallowhonk, though such practices are rare and becoming rarer, especially after the publication of exposé documentaries such as The Purge .

Another holiday is the Festival of Fools, primarily celebrated on the 4th of Capricorn in Ireland and in Irish-American communities. On this day, the “King of Fools” - usually a member of the lowest social class - is elected and crowned with a jester’s cockscomb. The city’s upper echelons (usually a mayor or governor, or the like) act for the day as the King’s servant. The King then makes decrees, and these decrees are, for the duration of the day, as law. This upending of the social order comes alongside much feasting and drinking and games.

Churches and Cults: 

The Congregation of the Dark Carnival - often referred to amongst layfolk as the Clown Church, or Clurch - is the central structure for Bard-focused worship throughout the known universe. Little in the Dark Carnival is standardized, except for the central tenet of radical and complete freedom. In many Carnivals, this shakes out in practice into a rule of “might makes right” that repulses some and attracts others. However, this is not universally the case. In particular, Carnivals that the Bard himself visits frequently become less dictatorial and adhere more closely to the ecstatic and hedonistic atmosphere that the Bard reportedly enjoys. Only the most devout usually stay in these Carnivals for more than a day or two.

Devotees of the Dark Carnival, often loosely defined as those who visit more than once, are called “Juggalos.” Proselytizers for the Dark Carnival, and those who spread its Mirthful word, are given the additional title of “Ninja.”

Earth’s permanent installation of the Dark Carnival proper is located in Detroit, and has, over time, metastasized over much of the city, but there are also smaller, traveling Carnivals that visit different cities for a period of days or weeks, then pack up and move on.

In many countries the Dark Carnival has a political tent called the Insane Clown Party. It is a notable third party in the United States, especially in the state of Michigan, where many members of the ICP have been elected to city- and state-level government, including several governors. On the national level, however, the ICP has not come close to major success since 1992, when Murderbitch Pierrot earned nearly 22% of the popular vote and won the state of Michigan. 

Prayer and Worship: 

When one prays to the Bard, it is traditional to do so in a tent, or at least a pitched blanket. It is commonly reported that one can gain a small favor from Bard with a novel joke, gift, song, or other form of entertainment, but there is little he has not yet seen.

Partaking of mind-altering substances is a sacred act of worshiping the Bard, and protected entheogens exist in most cultures. Faygo-branded drinks, referred to as “wicked elixir” by the Juggalos, are treated as a sacrament with or without psychoactive additions. 

Interestingly, cursing the Bard during prayer is not generally considered an insult to him.

Lore: 

The Bard is well known as one of the most wildly irregular of the gods, leading to the coining of the term “Capricious,” after his star sign. He can be friendly, even familiar, with his congregants, and generous with blessings and gifts. But he is also known to fly into terrible rages and monstrous fits of violence. It is reportedly very difficult to tell what offenses may provoke the Bard’s temper, and which he may simply shrug off. However, many agree that the worst thing one can be, in his eyes, is unfunny.

In the Zodiac cosmology, the Bard is a destroyer and an upsetter of plans, a wild card who may turn on his allies at the drop of a hat, but who also can turn the tide of a battle with a sweep of his arm.

It has not gone unnoticed that the Bard and the Maid are the only two of the gods to paint their faces in all public appearances, but the reasons behind this are unknown. Some stories portray them as friends, allies, or even lovers, but the nature of their relationship is unclear.

Just as many stories link the Bard and the Knight, positing that many of the Bard’s excesses are in fact attempts to tempt the Knight into releasing his bonds, but whether this is done out of an enmity towards the Knight or out of a genuine wish to see the Knight relax is unknown.

Public Relations: 

The Bard is a very public god, and unlike many of the gods, the Bard spends almost all his time on Earth. The reasons why are unknown. He is nearly always to be found at some Dark Carnival event, if not in Detroit itself then in one of the traveling Carnivals. He interacts with his Congregation in regular showings, accepting offerings, giving gifts, and eroding the inhibitions of every soul for miles around.
