My Opinion: Celebrity Lookalikes #1

Singer/actress Sabrina Carpenter and Old Hollywood actress and singer Jane Powell!

[venussaidso]

Nicole Wallace (Ardra Moon, Uttara Bhadrapada Sun) from "Raising Voices" emits the same energy as Hailee Steinfeld & Nicola Peltz who both happen to be Purva Ashadas. Her birthtime is unknown and I'm of the opinion that she is either one of the Venus nakshatras.

I used the Celebrity Lookalikes AI on some of her pictures and her top consistent results included Elizabeth Olsen, Katherine Langford and Lili Reinhart who are all Purva Phalgunis. Bharani Moon Chloe Cherry was another Venusian in the results. I was also the first to find her slight resemblance to her co-star and friend Bharani Moon Clara Galle. Sometimes I think they can pass of as sisters which is an indication of possible shared nakshatras/nakshatra lords.

Her other results were celebrities who share her other nakshatra lords like Rahu as she has an Ardra Moon (Shatabhisha natives Kathryn Newton, Maria Sobocińska were in the results) and Saturn (those included Saturn nakshatra natives Scarlett Johansson, Anya Taylor Joy, Chloë Grace Moretz etc.). Not that Sofia Vergara was there, but when I looked through Nicole's pictures online, I thought she looked a bit like her in some angles, which kinda validates Sofia's likely Ardra Moon.

I can't get over how nakshatras/nakshatra lords can be picked up from our phenotype. Everytime I see similarities between two random people that shouldn't be compared, I always find a common placement or nakshatra connection. This also helps in guessing someone's Ascendant although it's much more trickier than that.

But it is more likely that Nicole Wallace is a Venus nakshatra Ascendant because of the premise of her Netflix series "Raising Voices" — which touches on themes of the oppression and violence against women, fiercely standing up against that, revenge & justice etc. Just witnessing how such violence deteriorates the female characters and how she defines that event and what it means to her immediately reminded me of the brilliant series "I May Destroy You", which is written by and starring Purva Ashada Moon Michaela Coel.

the astrological implications of "lookalikes" and nakshatra characteristics - the dualistic nature of rahu and shani🪞

💎 in the seemingly constant conquest for people to find their dominant grahas within their birth chart, it is often helpful for people to compare their morphological features to that of celebrities who share their primary placements. many celebrities often dawn similar faces to their red carpet counterparts which is no coincidence. i have included a few of the ever-increasing physical similarities witnessed among celebrities below and commentaries on what contributes to their facial appearances. this should serve as subtle introduction to a morphology- and fashion-based series i hope to develop within the next year or so. as an additional thank you to the now 5,000 of you, i am also offering 20% off on my cosmetic cosmological readings and vedic reading bundle for the next week. thank you for all of your amazing support and i am beyond excited to witness the growth in people learning about vedic astrology and religion as a whole.

above lies a personal interpretation of mine on the grahas and how they relate to stylistic and morphological essence that i find will be helpful for understanding this post and more posts to come:

🪞 zoë saldana (left) and thandiwe newton (right)

saldana is mrigashira surya (tightly conjunct buddha), pushya lagna (tightly conjunct shukra), and anuradha chandra native. whereas, newton has a swati surya and swati (or vishakha) chandra. the only direct similarity between both women is both were born on monday (the day of the moon) and within their chandra mahadasha which can subtly increase their lunar inclinations.

while both celebrities do not have specific astrological rashis in common, there is a subtle nuance that lies within their astrological compatibility. saldana is extremely dominant in saturnian energies and newton is likely extremely dominant in rahuvian energies. shani and rahu natives are often mistaken for one another due to their similar properties. think of the two grahas as one combined coin of governance over the instances in which define material success in one's life (such as sorrow, pain, grit, and finances). shani acts as the grounded rahu, who is slowed and wise in his pursuit towards fulfillment. whereas, the out-of-body node rahu is exploitative, hasty, and rapid in movement. both govern over the trials and tribulations we may experience in our physicality. thus, both are intricately intertwined and so are their natives.

rahuvian natives share similar features of thinned and highly-arched eyebrows (characteristic of thinner eyebrows being considered more yin in nature), less prominent noses and chins, fuller cheeks, smaller facial frames, expertly defined cupid's bow, and large eyes. whereas, shani natives share similar (if not exact) features to that of rahu but with slightly less exaggerative features erring on the side of angelic essence (yin and ethereal, otherworldly, and mystical) compared to the ingenue essence likes of rahu (decorative, cute yin)

🪞 jaime pressly (left) and margot robbie (right)

another case study of rahuvian-saturnian beauty is pressly (pushya surya loosely conjunct shani and shravana chandra) and robbie (ardra surya tightly conjunct brihaspati, punarvasu lagna tightly conjunct buddha, and swati chandra), both of which share a shani atmakaraka (the graha/karaka most indicative of oneself). both celebrities share the similar characteristics of the two grahas which highly emphasize yin-nature. the subtle essences of both graha types are analyzed below. both of which favor yin and small facial features and clothing details (such as dainty jewelry pieces, note how many of the graha natives sport blue jewelry indicative of shani's rulership) and lighter and softer features (such as bleached/highlighted hair and naturalistic, nude coloring in makeup):

rahu aesthetics: yin, but decorative small-scale yin. features flowing, rounded shapes in both anatomy and clothing-styles. small, compact figure in which natives prefer to adorn themselves with small decorations and details, such as delicate trimmings.

shani aesthetics: most yin essence of the grahas (though it flows back into yang). it is a type of yin that is ethereal in nature. natives' body type has the least concrete shape of all the essences. its silhouettes are long and flowing with draping and webbing. fine textures, as well as transparent and iridescent colours, contribute to their ethereal appearance.

🪞 sarah hyland (left) and mila kunis (right)

hyland has a swati lagna, anuradha surya tightly conjunct shukra, and dhanishta chandra loosely conjunct rahu. kunis has an ashlesha surya, anuradha lagna loosely conjunct ketu and brihaspati, and swati chandra loosely conjunct shani. despite both women being influenced by different planetary aspects (including the oppositionary ketu for kunis), you can notice yet again their saturnian (specifically anuradha) and rahuvian (specifically swati) aspects dominating both women almost entirely.

anuradha: as i spoke about in a previous post on this nakshatra, anuradha natives possess specific, bunny-like features indicative of the nakshatra's rabbit yoni. these natives often possess big, round, and bright eyes; rounded foreheads; full yet smaller horizontal surface area lips; and prominent central incisors.

swati: swati's dominance over mahamaya results in natives' face types having the same length and width dimensions. it is harmonious as a whole without any dominative unique features. they are genetically predisposed to a beautifully attractive round face with harmonic and regular proportions specifically surrounding the contour region of their face. due to the mahamaya emphasis, natives of swati have a distinct affinity for facial feminizing techniques (such as hairline modifications, jaw reduction, rhinoplasty (nose reduction), and facial lifts). note that these improvements might appear the best on these natives due to their rahuvian abundance, but natives must learn to balance this affinity for bodily modification (specifically with their nose or cheekbones) with equal bouts of self care and physical reflection.

🪞 nina dobrev (left) and victoria justice (right)

nina dobrev has an jyeshta lagna, purva ashadha surya loosely conjunct shani, and shravana chandra tightly conjunct buddha. victoria justice has a dhanishta surya, shravana chandra loosely conjunct shani, and swati lagna. both celebrities share similar venusian and saturnian undertones, yet it is likely the shravana emphasis that further adds identical qualities to both women. shravana beauty, contrarily to pushya, it is chandra-based beauty (sensual, deep yin) with saturnian undertones (ethereal yin).

chandra (a graha with emphasis on femininity)-based beauty is mature and sensual when in conjunction with shani (a graha with emphasis on traditionalized values). overall resulting in a romantic-essence beauty type: like the circular shape of a voluptuous, full moon, the romantic shravana silhouette is curvy and round, mirroring that of an hourglass. soft, flowing garments create movement in the silhouette, whereas romantic colors (that of a red and pink palette) look best on these women.

consequently, individuals with the shravana style essence tend to create an overall visual impression of sensuality and glamor. although their essence is yin, such as the ingenue, rahuvian essence, it is a mature sensuality as opposed to the cute, innocent prettiness of rahuvian natives. adjectives such as sexy, 'womanly', and glamorous can be used to describe these natives. abstractly, one can associate the shravana style/anatomical essence with the themes of luxury and indulgence. this aura specifically conjures up images of expensive jewellery, candlelit dinners, and red roses similar to the blooming nature of this nakshatra's artha purushartha and brahma trimurthi.

🪞lili reinhart (left) and brittany murphy (right)

reinhart has an uttara phalguni surya and chandra (loosely conjunct rahu) and swati lagna. whereas, murphy has an ashlesha lagna and swati surya and chandra (loosely conjunct shukra). both women share a surya atmakaraka and brihaspati amatyakaraka. yet again we see a physical example of rahu being indicative of identical similarity amongst others. this is likely due to rahu and shani (if aspecting one's surya or chandra) in one's natal chart being indicative of twins. specifically these aspects include the seventh house and bahuputra yoga. the two grahas' indication of twins can manifest one finding other non-related individuals who share an eerily similar appearance or siblings who are specifically dominant in shani and/or rahu energies looking identical despite not being identical twins. both individuals serving as seperate sides of the same cosmological coin.

also note the stylistic differences between reinhart and murphy above. murphy looks more natural in the shani-based vata colors of silvers and blues. whereas, reinhart looks absolutely gorgeous yet slightly "off" in the neon-red coloring of her dress (due to the countering pitta dosha nature of red). while reinhart may be influenced by the pitta surya via her surya and chandra, it is clear she favors vata coloring naturally. do note that vata dosha colors such as brown and grey should be avoided for those experiencing common vata-associated issues with matters such as anxiety and depression. this is why it is recommended for these natives to incorporate soft, pastel, and pale iterations of the respective colors, such as red or orange. too bright or cold colors can bring natives of this dosha more out of balance. however, white is said to have a good effect on people with a predominant vata dosha constitution. additionally, the accumulated surplus of vata dosha is well influenced by the color yellow (likely contributing to rahu and shani's favoring of blonde hair and highlights).

🪞keira knightley (left) and natalie portman (right)

knightley has an uttara bhadrapada surya (loosely conjunct buddha and shukra) and rohini chandra. portman has a rohini surya, swati lagna, and purva phalguni chandra. both were born on tuesday (the day of kuja). both women incorporate lunar romanticism but differ with their shani and rahu influences ever so slightly.

shani subtlety: a combination of of ying features and mysticism, also known as the ethereal and most yin essence. consequently, individuals with the subtlety of shani tend to create an overall visual impression of softness and otherworldliness or mysticism. although they are more feminine like the rahu and lunar essences, this is an 'old soul' kind of femininity as opposed to sensual or cute, pretty femininity. adjectives such as mysterious, ethereal, mystical, or 'old soul' can be used to describe people under this graha's influence. abstractly, one can associate the graha with the themes of mysticism and the cosmos, often conjuring up images of mythical creatures, fairies and mermaids, and the cosmos and galaxies within others.

rahu subtlety: a combination of femininity with childlike innocence and delicacy, also known as the decorative, small-scale yin subtlety. consequently, individuals with rahu subtlety tend to create an overall visual impression of youthful femininity and innocence. although this subtlety is feminine like the lunar essence, it is a childlike, innocent cuteness as opposed to the mature, sensual femininity of the lunar individual. adjectives like gentle, cute, and pretty could be used to describe natives. abstractly, one can associate rahu subtlety with the themes of innocence and youthful idealism, conjuring up images of delicate flowers.

note both natives have a rectangular-shaped face with square foreheads and jawlines. they have long, ovular faces but with angular edges. they both possess immense symmetry and harmony as seen in lunar women but their vata influences dominate this abundance with facial contouring and structural emphasis. their overall appearance is an example of vata extremism with lunar subtleties. compared to more vata-lunar natives like dobrev and justice, one can really see their morphological differences. additionally, these aforementioned planetary subtleties are also witnessed with both of the actresses careers. for example, knightley stars in more whimsical or vintage films such as "pride and prejudice", "the duchess", and "pirates of the caribbean". whereas, portman stars in more romantic, subtle thrillers that embody the purity complex seen within rahu, such as "black swan", "v for vendetta", and "leon".

🪞katy perry (right): swati surya and lagna (tightly conjunct buddha) and vishakha chandra (tightly conjunct shani) born on thursday, day of brihaspati, with chandra amatyakaraka

🪐 are you saturn and/or rahu dominant? have you encountered similar instances of being compared to other people or celebrities based on your physical appearance? i think it is interesting that even individuals influenced by these grahas are compared to other people more so than those who are not influenced by shani or rahu. it is likely people would suspect buddha to be involved in this phenomena. however, buddha is not implicative of identical nature, it is implicative of the flattery that lies within mimicry via emulation. this is why mercurial celebrities often undergo bodily alterations to resemble rahuvian/saturnian celebrities (such as bella hadid's cosmetic transformation into resembling carla bruni or the character elvira's direct copying of the character vampira).

🪞 jessica chastain (left) and bryce dallas howard (right)

additional examples of astrological lookalikes:

jessica chastain (anuradha lagna, rohini chandra loosely conjunct brihaspati, and uttara bhadrapada surya loosely conjunct buddha) and bryce dallas howard (revati lagna, shatabhisha surya loosely conjunct kuja and shukra, and uttara ashadha chandra). both share chandra atmakarakas.

jordin sparks (swati chandra, mula surya loosely conjunct shani, and purva ashadha lagna) and america ferrera (ashwini surya tightly conjunct buddha, anuradha chandra tightly conjunct kuja, and purva ashadha lagna tightly conjunct brihaspati)

kiernan shipka (vishakha surya and anuradha chandra) and emma watson (ashwini surya, uttara phalguni lagna, and mula chandra)

* all of these placements were found using astrotheme/.com and/or astro-charts/.com. it is important to note that some chandra (moon) placements may be off by up to 6 degrees and lagnas (ascendants/rising signs) as well, due to the fact that many websites do not have 100% accurate birth times for the given celebrities.

More Frasier thoughts! :DDD

The Candidate-- WHY is this American politics and can I get off at the next station (and also: absolutely hilarious. Lost my mind at the alien reveal.) Adventures in Paradise-- of course; but yay, more Lilith (though I still bear a mild grudge the thing she did that to Frasier in the past.) Martin made up with Artie! Roz actually succeeding with Bulldog... until it fell apart, inevitably. The Dr. Honeys of this world, I swear. Tea Leoni?????????? (Jurassic Park 3 doesn't count as the first time I've watched her because I didn't know who she was.) Maris and her thousand and one hoops she puts Niles through; but also she turned down the fencing instructor, awwwww (that entire episode was amazing and had me laughing out loud so many times.) Seat of Power, absolutely hilarious. THE CASE WAS FINALLY SOLVED!! Poor Daphne and her room, she deserves the Mercedes she didn't get. The Club was a roller coaster-- and Daphne was Audrey Hepburn's Tiffany's lookalike~. Breaking the Ice is exquisitely hilarious and touching, my word. Bebe: I'm obsessed with her in that "I admire your cunning but I don't want you in my personal circle" way. The restaurant-- it was ALMOST working so well. And Dark Victory!

I'm loving it so, so much. The laughs just keep coming. Niles and his misadventures with falls, tumbles, and knock downs (and the reveal of him in the depravation chamber) get me every time, as do Martin's wisecracks, Eddie's sneaky little ways, Daphne's upper hand (she GOT Bebe, wonderful), Roz (everything), how they work with Maris always off-screen; and even the smallest details-- mentions and comebacks and referring to other episodes, etc. It makes it feel like a real world (though, tbf, the only long-term tv series I've watched-- not much of a movie/tv person ;))-- were always very loose in terms of plot and plotlines; so to see anything a modicum differently is opening my mind to extreme possibilities.)

To be honest, while I have a little knowledge of US politics, I don't know too much. The episode, however, is funny. Yes, Tea Leoni! Pay attention to the callers Frasier gets too. It's not always easy to recognize the celebrity voices but David AND Gillian called in. Among many, many others, of course.

I love "An Affair to Forget" (the one with the fencing instructor) - even though the German in it is awful. It's still super funny. I'm really glad you're loving it so much - and I agree with everything you say. a friend of mine said one of the reasons the show works so well is that they all come from a theater background and I think that's true. And they do have many comebacks and refer back to previous episodes. I always enjoy that. I mean not everything is mentioned again, obviously. Especially sitcoms are, like you said, very loose in terms of plot and plotlines. That happens less on Frasier, I feel.

So you're up to season 3 now? That has one of my favorite episodes (Moon Dance). There are so many great episodes on this show! And you still have so much to discover 😁

Xover Possibility: Scooby-Universal-Doo

This is a limited crossover series I'm now considering.

Scooby and the gang have teamed up with several celebrities and a few famous characters in taking down ghosts and solving mysteries under WB's commission, but let's see what happens if they end up in the Universal Pictures cyber universe and end up doing…well, pretty much the same formula, except with versions of the Universal animated characters.

Here are some possibilities I thought up.

Franchise: Despicable Me Characters teamed up with: Felonious Gru, Lucy Wilde, and three of the Minions Type of monster/ghost: Chronology: before Despicable Me 3 or Despicable Me 4 Guest Voices: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Steve Coogan, and Pierre Coffin Chase scene song: "Chuck Berry" by Pharrell Williams (from Despicable Me 3)

Franchise: the Lorax Characters teamed up with: Ted Wiggins, Audrey, and the Lorax (whom Mystery Inc believes is a mascot) Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Michael Cera, Ashleigh Ball, Danny DeVito and Chris Renaud Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: the Secret Life of Pets Characters teamed up with: Katie, Max, Duke, Gidget, and Snowball Type of monster/ghost: Note: The pets will be able to communicate thanks to a translation device Gru briefly lets the gang borrow Guest Voices: Patton Oswalt, Eric Stonestreet, a Kevin Hart soundalike, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, and Lori Alan Chase scene song:

Franchise: the Road to El Dorado Characters teamed up with: Modern-day lookalike descendants of Miguel, Tulio and Chel with the same names Type of monster/ghost: Stone Jaguar Guest Voices: Kevin Kline, a Kenneth Branagh soundalike, and Rosie Perez Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: Shrek/Puss in Boots Characters teamed up with: Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: ??? Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Wallace & Gromit Characters teamed up with: Wallace & Gromit Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: ??? Chase scene song: a UK rock band song

Franchise: Kung Fu Panda Characters teamed up with: "furry cosplayers" Po and the Furious Five (minus Mantis) Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jack Black, Kari Wahlgren, David Cross, Lucy Liu, and a Jackie Chan soundalike Chase scene song: Dumpling Warrior Remix (instrumental) from Kung Fu Panda 2

Franchise: Megamind Characters teamed up with: Megamind, Minion, and Roxanne Ritchi Type of monster/ghost: Note: Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate and its TV series would be ignored Guest Voices: Keith Ferguson, David Cross, and Tina Fey Chase scene song: "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osborne

Franchise: Mr. Peabody & Sherman Characters teamed up with: Who else? Mr. Peabody and Sherman Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Chris Parnell and a male child actor Chase scene song: "Way Back When" by Grizzfolk

Franchise: Rocky & Bullwinkle Characters teamed up with: Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Kath Soucie, Tom Kenny, and any voice from the 2018 cartoon Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Captain Underpants Characters teamed up with: George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and a reluctant Benjamin Krupp/Captain Underpants Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jay Gragnani, Ramone Hamilton, Jorge Diaz, and either Nat Faxon or Ed Helms Chase scene song: "Captain Underpants" by Weird Al Yankovic

Franchise: the Bad Guys Characters teamed up with: the Bad Guys Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Alex Borstein, and Lily Singh Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Ruby Gillman Characters teamed up with: Ruby and Agatha Gillman Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Colman Domingo, Sam Richardson, Blue Chapman, Jaboukie White-Young, and Will Forte Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: Mario Characters teamed up with: Mario and Luigi Type of monster/ghost: Bowser Koopa Guest Voices: Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Jessica Diciccio, and Sebastian Maniscalo Chase scene song: Mario video game music

Franchise: Curious George Characters teamed up with: Curious George and Ted the Man in the Yellow Hat Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jeff Bennett, Bill Chott, and Rolonda Watts Chase scene song: n/a

I'm not absolutely certain I'll do this, as I'm already committed to other things. In fact, I might give this series idea to someone more qualified to write crossover mysteries. But still, if anyone would like to suggest types of monsters or ghosts Mystery Inc and their new co-detectives would be facing, I could try to think of the episode plots for them. Also, don't suggest the villains' identities unless through private note, otherwise it would kill the mystery.

So tae and jennie have another couple item. Honestly, at this point, I believe tae could be using jennie as a beard.

I just don't see any other explanation. Taekook has so many moments where it's undeniable that there's something going on. Tae and jennie, on the other hand, have photos (not all are edited), matching clothing pieces, and trips. I truly believe that tae and jungkook love each other, but I don't see them ever coming out, and I feel like it'll continue being under wraps. I can see jungkook also getting in dating rumors soon because it works.

The harry styles concert is a great example, all the news media outlets picked up on taennie and left taekook alone when we all know the truth. Especially after how taekook acted in LA. It's sad, but they're big celebrities and they won't ruin their reputation by coming out as lgbt especially in korea. I feel like they'll be like a lot of American celebrities/athletes who have mlm relationships on the dl.

"photos (not all are edited)"

Firstly, all anyone has ever said is that any photo claiming to have both of them in is clearly either edited from other photos, or staged using lookalikes.

Of course, any photos they themselves share, would not be edited.

Technically, Jennie is not Tae's beard, considering they aren't actually fake dating each other. That's what a proper beard is... case in point Taylor Swift and literally any man she's been with, or Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes.

I do think the whole series of "leaks" and any subsequent and coincidental examples of sort-of-matching clothes/items, helps Tae present as not queer as a form of cover, but I wouldn't say bearding per say.

The Taennie/Harry Styles SK concert/Media thing is slightly overblown, I think only one reported featured Taennie the rest merely reported who attended. On social media, there was a push on Taennie, though I'm still suspicious about how popular the ship actually is, whether it's getting some support from certain antis/solo stans/other shippers, all just to one up Taekookers.

My Opinion: Celebrity Lookalikes #2

Singer Tori Kelly and Old Hollywood actress Lana Turner!

[queenoftsage]

... I guess some people really can't tell

people apart, just by looking at them CAREFULLY.

I still don't see how people confuse Yeo Jin Goo with Kim Min Jae.

What the hell are you looking at? lol.

Their eyes, noses, LIPS don't even look the same hoe... Like WHERE? Where do they look the same? JinGoo is SHMEXY as F**K while MinJae is Very Cute. Cuteness, he has cuteness. Don't get me wrong...

[keep going at your own risk, I'm gonna talk shit.]

[sorry that's the only photo I could find of Minjae in my folders.]

SO, Like the two men are completely different, and no, I don't even think they could play siblings. ... Maybe cousins? lol.

Just... I don't see it. And perhaps I don't see it, because I am very enthralled with Yeo Jin Goo's face. He's EVERYTHING. While, now thanks to a comment I saw somewhere around here, I think it was around here. I call, poor Kim Minjae, Yeo Jin Goo TEMU version.

That's fucked up, I know. But I get annoyed when I see people comparing them or asking if that's 'KiM MiN JaE' when Yeo Jin Goo is shown. Or in those 'CeLeBRiTieS tHaT LooKaLiKe' videos.

Like... Yes, there are some who are very very similar, but Yeo Jin Goo doesn't look like Min Jae at all. I'd say Minjae has more similar features with Song Joong Ki than he does with Yeo Jin Goo.

And if you're going for the voices... Nah, bitch... Yeo Jin Goo's voice is SEX ON LEGS [respectfully... if that's even possible. eeesh.]

That said... I don't hate Kim MinJae. Lately I'm seeing him in that series 'Poong the Joseon Psychiatrist' with that cute girl that also gets compared a lot to KyungSoo. You know, the one from Along With The Gods.

It's ok, so far. I wasn't wary of it, I just put it on cause a lot of kdramas are disappointing me lately. And to be fair the one I just finished 'Twenty One Twenty Five' only disappointed me because they HAD TO make it hetero normie coded.

I mean, it's obvious the two girls are absolutely in love with each other, but clearly never expanded on that, especially because of the years that this was supposed to be set in.

Whatever the case, my favorite couple was Dohee x Yurim <3 <3 <3 all the way! . I was rooting for them all throughout the series. Such beautiful couple. [wish they would have been a REAL couple. but they stayed 'bEsT FrIEnDs' booooooooooooooooo... lol.]

So yeah... I chose a Sageuk, when I really do steer away from those. I guess the Psychiatrist thing grabbed my attention initially. So far, I have not seen no Psychiatring ... The Psychiatry is not Psychiatry-ing.

Anyway, back to the point. Yeo Jin Goo, looks NOT like Kim Min Jae. STOP CONFUSING THEM. STUDY THEIR FACES. They're completely different. COMPLETELY.

Okay okay okay WAIT. Now that you mention Bad Buddy. In MSP they obviously mention it as a series, like you said. But Tinn specifically mentions OhmNanon—establishing them as actors in the MSP universe... I'm torn on this question but: does this in turn imply that for any universe where MSP is a show, Tinn's line is a reference to 'real world' actors? That would obviously be an extrapolation so we can't say for sure. (As you said, it could also be that every reference in MSP is made up for the fictional series that it is.)

But IF the actor thing were a 'real life reference', that would add another layer here, since Ohm is on the Wednesday Club cast, too. (Actually. That would make it three times as complicated, now that I think about it. Bc if OhmNanon exist are we assuming they've had all the same projects? If so that would mean Dirty Laundry exists as a TV show, where Nanon co-starred with Film, who is ALSO among the Wednesday Club cast.)

If Bad Buddy does get solidly referenced (for now I'd say it's existence is debatable) then we could probably consider three WC members to have celebrity lookalikes (still not Phuwin though, he seems to evade every instance of multiverse crossover so far lol!)

Anyway, I'll definitely keep an eye out for further references in WC, especially any that clarify some of these questions haha. Maybe Satang's singer character will hit us with more GMMTV tracks, who knows...

OKAY OKAY HOLD UPPPP. My last comment made me go back and look. The first time Satang sings in WC, it's very in the background, out of focus, you can only hear the first few lines. But I can hear the tune and lyrics and IT IS FAMILIAR. But I'm blanking. It's from a show but which one oh my god. What song is it I KNOW THIS SONG. And I really don't think it's anything from MSP? (He also sings a third song in another scene, but that one I don't recognize as being from any show. Honestly for all I know it could be the OST from WC or something I don't have that tune very memorized yet lol. But if anyone knows otherwise lmk I guess.)

AHH I JUST RECOGNIZED THE SONG WE HEAR HIM COVER IN THE BACKGROUND IN EPISODE ONE. (finally, I spent so long thinking about it lol.) IT'S LITERALLY THE VICE VERSA OST. So, Vice Versa also exists as a TV show in Wednesday Club!! (Does this have any further implications?)

Note on the GMMTV multiverse! In Wednesday Club this week, Satang’s character sang Hook. I’d say this means that MSP probably exists in the WC universe as a TV show (and therefore Satang as an actor, who I guess would be Pheem’s in-universe celebrity lookalike). At the very least I’d say Gemini as an artist must exists in that universe, since he’s the original singer of the song covered.

Amaaaaaazing. Thanks for sharing!

So MSP is a show in the WC universe. MSP and The Eclipse are in the same universe (see here). Is The Eclipse also a show in the WC universe? Bad Buddy is a show in the MSP/The Eclipse universe (Tiw suggests Tinn watch it). Is Bad Buddy also a show in the WC universe? Or is it a fictional show made up for the in-universe tv show MSP? Did the WC universe also get the MSP OurSkyy 2 episodes, which depict the au!MSP universe? If they did, then au!MSP is also a show in the WC universe (and since Bad Buddy, ATOTS, and HCTM are TV shows in the au!MSP universe - are they therefore shows in the WC universe too?). Much to ponder.

As you point out, Gemini is both a singer and an actor in the WC universe (plays the character Tinn and sings the original Hook). Satang exists in the Wednesday Club universe as both the character Pheem and as the actor Satang (who plays the character Sound on the show MSP), just like how Nanon exists twice in the Bad Buddy/ATOTS universe (as both the character Pran and the singer Nanon).

GMMTV having their own roster provide the soundtracks really does make this more complicated...

It's been a while since I've dived into the GMMTV multiverse but maybe I should dust it off and give it another update... 🤔

(latest iteration of the GMMTV multiverse is here, and here is the latest version of the multiverse map!)

New “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” Comic Announced for DS9′s 30th Anniversary

IDW Publishing is celebrating Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s 30th Anniversary with a new five-issue comic book series. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War hails from writer Mike Chen and artist Angel Hernandez. The comic will be a “lost episode” set during the show.

An “extremely rare purebred corgi from Earth makes its way aboard Deep Space 9 when Quark cuts a deal to procure it for a potential buyer. After all, a Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all! But the corgi named Latinum comes with unexpected cargo that shakes Captain Benjamin Sisko to the core: a Borg component discovered by a crew sent to uncover Cardassian technology after the station’s reoccupation.” (IDW Publishing)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War #1 (of 5) goes on sale in April 2023. The issue will feature Cover A by Angel Hernandez, a wraparound Cover B by Chris Fenogolio, which will also feature the cast of Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Cover C by Andy Price, which will connect with covers from all five issues to create a diorama of DS9 characters with canine lookalikes. Special Retailer Incentive editions include a black- and-white variant of Hernandez’ cover and two Deep Space 9 schematics variants with and without trade dress.

The First Rule of Fanfiction

1983

2nd period Social Studies class.  I slid the notebook to my friend Bethann, hoping the teacher wouldn’t notice.  Scratchy writing in cheap ballpoint pen interspersed with amateurish drawings of elaborate wedding dresses.

“Nick asked me last night,” it started.  The writing was my first fanfiction, Real Person Fiction (RPF), detailing Nick Rhodes’ proposal of marriage and my subsequent wedding planning.  There was going to be lots of lace, lots of giant sleeves, lots of eyeliner, and lots of hairspray.  And it was all going to be teal.  To offset Nick’s (at the time) bright orange hair.

While I was proud of my story, and of the accompanying illustrations, there was no way I wanted anyone but a select few people to see it.  I took a huge risk in showing Bethann during class, what if the teacher had taken it and read it?  Instant death by mortification.

2013

Sherlock S3 preview event, with a Q&A led by Caitlin Moran.  Cast and crew were in attendance, and Moran pulled out some fanfiction for the leads to read.  “Moran reportedly tricked stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman into reading aloud an explicit work of erotic Johnlock fanfic that Moran had gleaned (read: taken without permission) from the fan-run Archive of Our Own.  Moran assured the two actors that the excerpt she wanted them to read was purely innocent.  But as the actors read the scene aloud, as london-reviews reported, “it was clear it wasn’t as innocent as she kept making out.” (https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/sherlock-fanfic-caitlin-moran/) (emphasis mine)

But it was all in good fun, right?

Except it wasn’t.

"As for mildredandbobbin, the author of the now-famous fanfic, she was mortified. As condolences and support from horrified fans poured in, mildredandbobbin reacted in a heartfelt post on her Tumblr. 'I hope Caitlin Moran understands that she was hurtful and unprofessional, that in fact she used her position of privilege to belittle and humiliate,' she wrote. '[T]he one bit of contact I have with them, and it’s about humiliation and mockery.' She also deleted her fanart Tumblr out of fear that it would be more widely seen."

"Mildredandbobbin told the Daily Dot via Tumblr that she was 'appalled' that Moran had used her work 'for cheap laughs.' "

It was a highly inappropriate thing to do to them, it was extremely hurtful to me and it was terrifying for a lot of other writers in fandom to think it could have been their work being paraded around for ridicule and criticism. Fandom is supposed to be a safe space for women and we would appreciate it if journalists could respect the fourth wall and stop using our work to get a laugh during interviews.

(ibid)

Mildredandbobbin hasn’t shared any writing on Archive of Our Own since her work was stolen by Caitlin Moran.

In addition to the author being mortified, it appeared that the stars were as well.  Photos and video taken after the event show a distraught looking Cumberbatch being comforted by both Freeman and Amanda Abbington.  (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLCpPUpBWPk)

2022

In an announcement released on June 24, 2022, Channel 4 (@C4Press on Twitter) announced that it “has commissioned a new comedy entertainment series from RDF seeing celebrities reading steamy fan fiction acted out by a cast of lookalike puppets.” (https://www.channel4.com/press/news/mel-giedroyc-invites-celebrities-really-really-rude-puppet-show-wt-channel-4) 

While details are scarce, Ao3 users report having been contacted through comments like “Hi there, I’m currently working on a new TV show for all about fanfiction for a major UK broadcaster.  We really enjoyed reading your work, and would love to speak to you about it, and explain a bit more about our show and see if you’d be interested in being involved.” 

There are so many things wrong with that, starting with the fact that soliciting works in that manner violates Ao3’s terms of service.  Other fans have questioned whether or not permission will be given to use existing works, or if authors of the “commissioned” works (see C4 press release, linked above) will be paid. 

Many fanfiction authors are young, or queer, or identify as female, or are young, queer AND identify as female, and that adds another layer of wrongness to this proposed “collaboration.”  Youth is a time for exploration and discovery, and writing fanfiction is a great way to figure out who you are and how you occupy your place in the world.  Having your exploration put on a national stage like that can be devastating.  Thinking back to my own youthful and innocent wedding planning- I never in a million years pictured a scenario where Nick Rhodes himself would read it.  I would have burst into flames, and it would have caused embarrassment for him too I’m imagining.  No matter that I allowed Bethann to read it- I did not give permission for someone else to take it and show it around. 

Additionally, having seen Cumberbatch and Freeman’s reactions to “steamy fan fiction” about their characters, I can’t imagine it would have gone much better had they read “steamy fan fiction” about themselves (ie: mature or explicit RPF).  While it is widely believed that some stars (like Michael Sheen and Taika Waititi) seek out and read fan works in private, that’s a different dynamic than celebrities acting out stories with puppets on national TV.  According to The Sun, “viewers should bank on plenty of laughs, with celebs including Harry Styles and The Chase’s Anne Hegerty at the forefront of fans’ fantasies.” (https://www.thesun.ie/tv/8995543/really-really-rude-puppet-show-erotic-fan-fiction/) 

Oh.  Harry.  NOOOOOOO.

As I shared in response to a recent post about this topic, Fight Club rules apply.  The first rule of fanfic about actors is you never talk about fanfic to the actors.  Here’s hoping Channel 4 remembers the rule before it’s too late.

[usmsgutterson]

All right! This post is something that’s been a long time in the making. I hit 500 followers early last month, and I’ve been trying to figure out a cool way to celebrate ever since. 

This is what I came up with! Requests for this are open until the 29th and will probably start coming out at the beginning of next week, with the latest I can think that the first one would come out being around next wednesday. 

The characters to whom this applies are the same as usual! Nikolai, Alina, Mal, and Zoya as far as Shadow and Bone goes, and Kaz, Inej, Jesper, Nina and Matthias as far as Six of Crows is concerned. Pin Hawthorne of Free Rein is included in this as well, as he always is. As for characters that I don’t normally attach to my events, we have Aaron Warner and Kenji Kishimoto from the Shatter Me series!

CONCERT LINEUP

TAYLOR SWIFT

invisible string- pick a verse, bridge, or chorus from any taylor swift song. Provide a character, and I’ll write a mini-song fic/blurb with each paragraph based off of each lyric sent in. Multiple verses, bridges or choruses can be sent in but to keep the fics relatively short, I ask that, per request, you don’t send in more than three. 

paper rings- weddings!! give me a character. a rough word count (10k is the most I’m willing to write, but if you want the fic to be a longer one, specifics are heavily recommended) and where you would want to get married if you were to get married! You can also tell me if you want it to be next level angst or to have the fluff scale turned up to eleven. Provide whatever specifics you want, and along with the fic, you’ll get a moodboard! You can mention if you want the moodboard to replace whatever gif I use as a fic header, but if you want it at the bottom of the fic and for me to include the gif anyway, just let me know!

lavender haze- AUS! You can pretty much pick any AU or combination of AUs that you want, be it a royalty au combined with your selection of the thousands of soulmate aus that people have come up with or a modern au with a coffeeshop au thrown in there! Anything is fair game, as long as you provide me with a character and whatever other specifics you can think to include. I’ll write three thousand words for this one, so again, the more specifics, the better!

long story short- all right! This one will be a fic set like, 5-10 years in the future! Flashback scenes can be included if you want them to be but if not, the past that got the characters to where they are will be discussed a bit through internal monologuing. This one is pretty much just up to the requester. The plot is your choice, the character is your choice, even the genre is your choice. everything is up to you and for the third time, the more specifics you add, the better!

message in a bottle- ships and moodboards! send in a brief description of yourself, your gender and fandom pref, and an activity you think would make a fun date night, and I’ll ship you with someone! 

CONAN GRAY

lookalike- this is the hurt/comfort freebie! give me a character, a hurt/comfort prompt or idea of your choosing, and a word count (for this one, the max I’ll write is 5k) 

fight or flight- headcanon freebie! Give me an idea you have that you want me to write headcanons for

the cut that always bleeds- this is the conan gray version of the invisible string prompt. Give me a verse, bridge, or chorus of any of conans songs and I’ll write an angst fic using that, with one paragraph for every lyric in each stanza. In the interest of keeping these fics short, I ask that you only send three stanzas per request

the story- long fics! These ones can take place at random points throughout different years in the characters lives, and they can follow pretty much any plotline! Want me to write a slowburn that runs across a decade or two? want me to show how the characters lives would progress throughout the run of five years or maybe a relationship a year before it begins, as it develops, and a year after something like a proposal or marriage? Theres a lot of potential for plots here, it’s entirely up to the requester! These fics tend to run a bit longer and the shortest I could see myself making one is 5k, with a max word count of 15k, so be mindful that these will likely run a bit on the longer side and thus, take me a bit more time to complete

grow- songs and moodboards! for this one, just drop this prompt into my inbox and tell me that it’s from this event, and I’ll make a moodboard based on how I percieve you/your aesthetic, or I’ll give you a list of like, ten songs that remind of me of you or that I think you would probably enjoy! (moots only) 

PHOEBE BRIDGERS

funeral- this one is the MCD freebie. Drop this one into my inbox if you want me to write some angst involving the death of a character of your choice

killer- this is AU’s but with an angsty twist of your choosing! Soulmate AU’s with near-death experiences, right person right time but with an unexpected twist that throws things off completely? Pick and AU and an angst trope and give me a character for this one. 

moon song- phoebe bridgers version of the invisible string and the cut that always bleeds prompts. Pick any chorus, verse, or bridge from any song by phoebe bridgers, and I’ll write a mini songfic with it. Again, in the interest of keeping the requests short, I ask that you send no more than three stanzas per request. 

punisher (copycat killer version)- this one, in contrast to the rest of the phoebe bridgers prompts, is a bit more on the hurt/comfort side. For this one, give me any prompt that you want! My only ask is that, if you take the prompt from another account, you credit them in your request, and that you keep the prompt within the realms of hurt/comfort or angst. Send in a character for this one, and I’ll write a thousand words for it. 

waiting room- this one is the painful angst freebie! Make it hurt, make it hard hitting. Have Character A watch Character B almost die. Make it as painful as you want, and with this one, the more specific you can be, the better! Depending on how much you include, these ones may also run a little on the longer side (3-7k as a minimum, 10-14k as a max)
