MY MAN!! MY MAN

BSPverse Mori is: King of Cups

Mori's character arc and development in BSPverse is definitely one of the most dramatic, and also well-documented given that I write about him constantly, and there's a ton of fics about him set in BSPverse already, including my favorite one, my multi-chapter FukuMori babyfic dog days are over, which makes this one a lot easier to answer and also a lot easier to see play out in what I already have published :)

Mori goes from a state closer to his canon self in the earliest BSPverse works (published and unpublished but only I know about the unpublished ones), to something better represented by the King of Cups: "love, nurturing, wisdom, compassion, control, balance". The new experiences he's had up to the beginning of the Hateful Eight have helped to counteract the years of suffering before that, which caused most of his deeply flawed worldview and negative self-image in this 'verse.

The next generation of kids in the Port Mafia and Agency both largely understand that the person Mori is as the boss of the Port Mafia isn't really the person they know, in that there's a face he has to show in his workplace that is reflective of only a very shallow part of him, and the man they know personally is a source of stability, wisdom, and care. And to his kids specifically, he's their goofy ahh father of course

There's a lot more planned for him in this series and I'm excited for all of it too so >:3

Seven of Mushrooms. Art by Nisse Lovendahl, from The Herbal and Spiced Culinary Tarot.

The Seven of Mushrooms urges you to consider the plight of the Matsutake mushroom. The Matsutake is one of the most highly prized mushrooms in the world, the best of them retailing for $1,000 a pound at the peak of the season. Yet, the way in which these mushrooms grow is highly peculiar, for these fungi make their homes in ecologies that have been affected by man’s deforestation. What’s more, the aggressively entrepreneurial process of harvesting and reselling the mushrooms is the work of foreign refugees who have found innovative ways to thrive in their new homes. The process of selling the mushrooms at these picker camps requires adept skill and concentration, and the difference between coming out on top and walking away empty handed is razor thin.

Similarly, you find yourself to be at the top of your game despite adversity. That doesn’t mean, however, that your position is set in stone. Calculate your next steps carefully, for challengers await to claim your position. 

Food: You may not want to splurge on Matsutakes on this round, but you should be eating a meal that makes you feel at the top of your game. Maybe you decide to eat fish for dinner, or to not skip breakfast. Either way, make sure your meal helps you focus and be in control. 

Herb: An herb that exemplifies perseverance will help you right now.  Consider the berries of the Spicebush.  As easy find for amateur foragers, the Spicebush came to popularity during the Revolutionary War when Americans could no longer trade spices with the British-held Jamaica.  Take that can-do attitude into your herbal practice as well. 

Reversed: You don’t feel enlivened by the competition—rather, you are worn down from the cutthroat criticism and feel like giving up. Don’t stop now! Acknowledge that not everyone may like what you have to offer.

What Makes a Reading Good?

Alternate title: How Can I Be Confident My Readings Don’t Suck?

This is mostly written with tarot in mind, but I think the sentiment can apply to any type of in-depth divination or metaphysical readings. Here’s some things to look for in readings, and if you are charging a set price for your own readings, things to demand from yourself. 

The information provided in a reading should be...

Relevant to the querents’ needs. If somebody comes to you asking about a specific question or topic, the reading should be designed to reflect that. This may mean using a different spread or focusing on details of meaning more relevant to the question than the traditional baseline meaning. (Example, if a querent is asking about money and I’m picking up signs of a new romantic relationship coming soon, it shouldn’t turn into a love reading. Rather, how might entering a new relationship affect ones’ finances?)

Abundant. Anybody can go online and find a random tarot card picker with a general description or some key words. If you’re providing a compensated service, your interpretation should have more meat than that. Allow yourself to explain your thought process or speculate on a deeper meaning, instead of regurgitating key words. After all, that speculation and personal insight is what they’re paying you for, otherwise they’d just find the bot! (For reference, I’m trying to give each of these points about the same amount of depth I would want to see in a really good tarot reading for each card.)

Nuanced. A lot of us are afraid to get into the details and specifics of an answer because we’re afraid of being wrong, so we just stick to being vague. Throw that out the window. Right now. Being specific HELPS your reading be more accurate, believable, and helpful, because if we’re too conservative with our details it gives the querent nothing to grab onto. Go for the specifics, the details, the things that make the querent say, “okay, I know exactly what that’s talking about.” (Example, what sounds better: “There’s conflict in the future” or “There’s conflict here, my gut says probably butting heads with an authority figure you’ve known for a while. Neither of you is right or wrong, but you’ll just keep wasting your time if you don’t compromise.”)

Understandable. Keep in mind that most of your querents will probably not practice the service you’re providing, or if they do they may just be beginners. Don’t shroud your reading in convoluted, arcane talk. If you can, explain some of how you’re getting the answers you getting. That doesn’t mean divulging secrets to your practice, but something like, “These runes are so close together, which to me means they’re working together, and the synthesis of their meanings could mean X.” Really helps a querent feel involved and more confident in your skills as their interpreter. 

Applicable. Give the querent knowledge they can walk away with. If you’re doing all of the above steps this is probably happening anyway, but it’s important to keep in mind. You should always be able to answer the question: “What is the best next step for the querent to achieve their goals, once they leave this reading?”  What can they do right now to develop themselves, prepare for success, repair that relationship, etc? Do they have a game plan? Basically, they should be able to take the insight you have provided them with and apply it to their life in a productive way.  

I hope this helps some people assess their own readings, and gives new diviners a better idea of what they should be going for! Did I forget anything important? Let me know your thoughts!

Written In The Stars (Chap 2)

Nalu Zodiac AU

Okay another update!!! I know its taken a while but here it is!! I hope you all enjoy, its a longer chap over 2K!!!

This shall be WC #37 (idk I think it is)

In case you missed Chapter One: Here

Chapter 2: 

“Why are you so happy?” Loke asked as Natsu strolled into their dorm room. He hopped on to his bed and let out a huge satisfying sigh. His grin never left his face and for the first time in his college life, he was on cloud nine.

Their dorm room was typical. A bed on each side of the room and a huge window in the back. Posters of video games and cars lined the walls and their desks were littered with school supplies and an unnatural amount of paper.

“Cause I just got a date with the hottest and coolest girl in school.” Natsu stated.

Loke turned around in his chair to face him. “Who? Let me guess, Karen? Lexi? Brittany? Angel? No, no, it’s gotta be Zoe, or is it-” A pillow to the face interrupted him.

“Dude!” Natsu yelled “It's none of them, you really need to chill out, you fuck boy.” He pointed at the smug boy.

“Ladies man” Loke corrected him.

“Nah you’re a fuck boy. And I got a date with Lucy, the girl in my bio class.” Just the mention of the blonde’s name made him automatically smile.

“Heartfilia?”

“The one and only. Ya know her?” Natsu asked. Of course, Loke would know her, he knew every girl on campus and in a ten-mile radius, typical fuck boy.

“Hell, ya I know her! She's in the Celestial Club with me.” Loke said. This information made Natsu sit upright and he furrowed his brows.

“The Celestial Club? What the hell is that.”

Loke smiled and filtered through his desk, pulling open all the drawers until he found a pamphlet, tossing it to the confused boy. Natsu’s eyes gazed through the small handbook. Constellations and zodiac signs were displayed throughout including the room and days the meets were.

“It’s a club for astrology geeks. Basically, each week we discuss how astrology works in different situations, I’m pretty sure this time is about love connections. Lucy is the club president, and I represent the sign of Leo, ya know, since I am one.”  

Natsu sat there with a blank expression. This information was too much to comprehend. He didn’t know why a guy like Loke would be in lame club like that. Probably just to get into the pants of all the girls in the clubs.

“I can’t believe you are in this.” Natsu rolled his eyes.

“Trust me. It’s a lot cooler than it sounds. Plus, all the girls make it better.” He winked.

Another eye roll came from Natsu as he read the different properties of the zodiac on the back page. The sound of Loke typing filled the room and they sat quietly until he had to leave for his class. Loke’s head snapped to Natsu's as a realization occurred.   

“Wait. Aren’t you an Aries?” Loke called from the bathroom.

“How the hell did you know that?” Natsu questioned. It was Loke’s turn to roll his eyes as he tapped his head.

“Your birthday is in April Natsu, context clues.” Natsu let out an ‘O’ and nodded.

“I still don’t know why she would agree to a date...with you.”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean!” Natsu grabbed an empty can of soda off his bed stand and threw it towards him.

Grabbing it before making contact, Loke tossed it in the trash and picked up his backpack, ready to leave. As he opened the door, he turned towards the bruiting pink haired boy.

“You're not compatible.” He said before shutting the door leaving Natsu stunned.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Natsu yelled but the door was already closed. “That doesn't even matter.” He grunted to himself.

Lucy hummed a simple tune to herself as she opened the door to Charmed, Cana’s fortune and magical properties shop, the one where she worked and was very late as well. She loved working for Cana, especially because she got to witness her legendary card reading, her psychic abilities have drawn a lot of attention to the store.

Lucy herself does readings using the astrology principles and crystals scattered around the small store. Not to mention Levy and Juvia, her two best friends who also practice the reading properties. Levy's tea leaf readings and scribe deciphering is very popular as well as Juvia's flower picking, water signs and palm reading. No matter what you use, all the girls would be happy to read you.

“Good afternoon Cana!” Lucy smiled but the happy tone washed away when “You’re late.” was the response.

“I know I’m sorry, I got caught up in my chart making.” She said nervously and passed the middle-aged woman and took her seat at her desk. Cana just laughed and place a cup of green tea in front of her.

“You have a reading in 10 minutes.” Cana said and went back to her tarot cards. “Oh, today Juvia had a reading with a couple and she nearly fell off her chair at the sights of the guy. Poor thing could barely keep her head straight, she might have broken them up too.”

“Did she break them up or did the flowers.” Lucy giggled and brought the rim of the cup to her mouth.

“Well the flowers did have sadness and separating so who knows.” Cana laughed and picked up a card, a big heart was plastered on the front. “New love.” She said and almost like being summoned, Juvia walked in from the curtains in the back, a dazed look on her face and a love-struck attitude. Cana waved the card and Lucy smile, another prediction right.

“Juvia does not understand the universe sometimes.” She complained while placing her head on the table as a mug of tea was slid her way with the card.

“I’m sure the universe will sort everything out Juv. On another note, I have a... date.” Lucy said but making sure the last part came out quicker. This news sparked Juvia’s interested and before Lucy could blink, she was sitting in front of her, eyes widened and ready for the details.”

“Tell Juvia everything! Who is he? What’s he like? Where are you going?”

“Okay, okay. Its Natsu Dragneel, the guy from my Bio class.”

Juvia blinked and slouched in her seat, crossing her arms. “You don’t sound excited.”

Lucy let out a huff, blowing up her golden bangs. “I am, he's nice and funny, and yes, good looking.”

“But?” Juvia chimed in.

“He is an Aries.”

Juvia nodded. She knew how much astrology and compatibility mattered to Lucy. When they had first met, Lucy was thrilled to learn that the beautiful blue flower picker was a Cancer, their friendship easily clicked.

“Well...That doesn’t mean you can’t date him. Just because you may not be extremely compatible to the stars, Juvia believes that you can adapt to each other.”

“Don’t blow off some good dick for the stars Luce.” Cana yelled out.

“Thanks Cana” Lucy said sarcastically, heat rushing to her face.

“Juvia thinks the same, but in other words of course. What's the worst that could happen?”

“I don’t know throw the universe off balance.” Lucy complained and slammed her head onto the desk.

“Okay...wellll, let Juvia knows how it goes. Then you and him can come and do a flower reading! Juvia’s pretty petals will determine your love future. Now excuse me I have to get to class.” She giggled and ran out of the shop just in time for Lucy’s guest to walk in for their reading.

“Welcome! I’m Lucy and I’ll be your star reader today!” She smiled brightly as they took a seat, a sudden wave of energy entered the air.

“Gemini” Lucy thought but kept her smile as she pulled out a parchment sheet and star chart.

“Let’s begin.”

---

After two days of pure torture from Natsu, Saturday came around. He still had twenty minutes until he had to pick up the stunning blonde. He was busy doing pushups on the dorm room floor while Loke chilled in his bed, playing a game on his phone.

“Do you really think it’s going to end badly?” He switched to sit ups.

Loke looked down at him shrugging. “I don’t know man. It takes her awhile to warm up to other people in general, and when you're not compatible, it's even harder, almost like a warning. It took some time for her to warm up to me, not a lot of time but definitely some work.”

“Really?” Natsu sat up. Loke nodded.

“Leos and Virgo have a hard friendship line, its normal for them to have to warm up to each other. To be honest I wasn’t a big fan of her either, but now we are chill and she’s one of my best friends, almost like a sister. You just must be patient, she will come around. I mean you are already friends, right? That's a good start.”

“Yeah, I guess. Hey, how did your club go? Did she talk about me?”

“Don’t flatter yourself. And it was fine, I got a sweet date too. And it's even better because we have maximum compatibility.” Loke smirked.

“Another victim of your fuck boy ways, good luck to her.” A pillow was smacked to his face.

“Just go on your dumb date. And by the way Aries is different than all the other girls.”

Natsu laughed. “Did you say Aries.”

“Oh yeah, she is apart of the club too. Her real name is Amelia Taylor, ya know, pink hair, cute sweaters, really big boo-”

“I got it dude! Don’t have to get descriptive.” Natsu complained and looked at the clock. Quickly he grabbed his wallet and keys and opened the door. “Good luck on your date.” Natsu shot him a finger gun.

“Right back at you” Loke laughed.

--

Looking over herself in the mirror, Lucy determined that her flowy white blouse and blue shorts were date material.

“Ooo, Luce, you look smoking.” Levy called. Levy was currently sitting on Lucy’s bed in her dorm, helping her pick out an outfit as she was reading a large book for class.

“I mean you could cover your chest more, don’t show him everything.” Lucy turned towards the voice. Her roommate, Cassandra Lakes had spat that out.

“My chest isn’t even out Aquarius.” Lucy replied using her celestial club nick name. “And you always wear a tank top or tube top.”

“I’m a swimmer, I worked hard for this bod.” She jumped off the bed and grabbed her bag. “Now I gotta go practice for swim, don’t fuck up your date Lucy, later Levy.” She opened the door to reveal a nervous looking Natsu. “Oh, your date is here.” She said and passed by him.

He placed his hands on the door, keeping it open. “Ready?”

“Yeah.” She let out, a smile framed her face and she yelled a ‘bye’ to Levy.

“Have fun you two!” Levy called out.

--

“That movie was incredible!” Lucy gasped. “Nice choice.”

“Thank you, I checked the ratings beforehand.” Natsu laughed which made her giggle. “Now its time for a good dinner.”

She smiled and as they walked towards the burger joint at the end of the strip, she linked her arm around his making him blush slightly. For a moment she forgot about the stars.

--

“And that’s how my buddy Gray got his bare ass stuck to the ice rink.” Natsu smirked and Lucy let out a loud laugh, trying not to let her strawberry milkshake spill as her hands hit the table. Natsu couldn’t help but smile as he watched her laugh. The evening light mixed with the windows reflection gave her a soft glow. Her giggling died down as she caught him staring and placed her hair behind her ear blushing.

She had to admit that he looked casually handsome. His button up shirt was rolled to his elbow making her slightly drool and his pink blush hair was poking out from his black snap back.

“Soooo, why are you so into the stars and stuff?” Natsu asked while taking a bite of his burger. He watched as her smile and eyes soften.

“My mother. She was an Astronomer at the planetarium, always did the most fascinating lectures about the stars. She’s the one who taught me about all their properties, physically and spiritually. I’ve always been intrigued by them, the stars ya know? They are so beautiful and mysterious. When she passed, I leaned onto the star, embracing everything she believed in. it makes me feel like she’s still here. She was a Virgo too, she was my best friend.”

“That’s amazing Lucy.” He smiled.

--

After getting ice cream and taking a stroll through the park, they arrived in front of her dorm hall.

“So?” He asked.

“So?” She repeated.

“Did I change your mind, about Aries?” He smirked, nudging her shoulder

“Hmm, maybe just a little bit. I guess you’re not too bad.” She teased and bumped his shoulder back.

“I’ll take that.” He smiled.

“Thank you Natsu, I had a nice time.” Quickly she kissed his cheek and rushed into her dorm room leaving him stunned.

Turning around he fist bumped the air.

“Fuck ya! Take that stars. Natsu one, stars zero.” He pointed to the sky.

His grin never left his face as he walked back to his dorm, ready to rub his success into Loke’s face.

Two simple activities for vocals and imposition

Margaret needed some forcing time, shes been wanting my attention, so I thought I would try these simple games. These work best if you know yours and their mind voice, and their form. 

Start off easy:       The Color Game: Impose them behind you, looking over your shoulder. Open up paint or photoshop or gimp (anything with a brush and color picker). Ask her for her favorite color. (Actually this time she asked me mine, I said blue and she said hers is green).  Make a left right and middle blob of different shades of that color. Ask her to pick one. rinse and repeat. It’s like going to the eye doctor and them asking ‘1 or 2′ except you can have more. I increased it up to 5 but you could go to 9. We ended up at a pale bluish green.

       Reading cards: You need: playing cards, Tarot, or notecards you can draw zener symbols on. I used a few tarot cards, had to take some out though. I imposed her in front of me, shuffled the cards and held a card in front of me so she could see it. I asked her what kind of card it was (Staves, swords, cups, pentacles). I didn’t have any expectations, but I did congratulate her when she was right. 

I got Alexa to try it, and she got it correctly most of the time.

which of your kiddos would you give the ten of swords to?

send me a tarot card ask game: open!

Ten of Swords: end of the situation, peace, finality, moving on

To prevent giving spoilers on tumblr (my policies on tumblr and discord are very different regarding that ahaha), I'll say this is best embodied by Hyakken Fukuzawa and the eventual conclusion of his official character arc within the narrative. His arc is essentially all about his struggle to find and move towards peace, and being able to move on with his life past the trauma that shaped him in his early life, even if he fights it at first.

He Will be happy whether he wants to or not <3

obligatory disclaimer/note: all of my fancharacters have tarot cards pulled for them for their profiles, but these cards are pulled completely randomly either from a physical or virtual deck, and i choose the one i feel is closest to the character (unless i don't have any character planned for them yet, in which case i use the card to help with that). that said, for these answers, just know that a character who has this card assigned to them via these asks doesn't necessarily mean this is their actual card. sometimes they line up, sometimes they don't. also me choosing one kid to list in an answer doesn't mean they're the only one but if i think abt it too long we'll be here forever /hyp

aheem heem. tarot card for bspverse verlaine please ✒️

wheemper

BSPverse Verlaine is: The Hermit

In an obvious contrast to his canonical self, Verlaine's status in BSPverse is most often aligned with the basic meaning of the card: "looking within, introspection, soul searching, solitude". Minus the solitude, Verlaine's visible character arc from Hateful Eight onward focuses largely on how he becomes less focused on using his external relationships with others to affirm or reaffirm his humanity, and turns more inward. This same thing happens with Hugo, too, which makes sense, as their arcs and storylines are largely entwined.

I haven't plotted it out entirely, because I never really do (takes the fun and flexibility out of it for me and makes me less likely to do it), but I'm sure you and many others will enjoy the journey Verlaine takes in BSPverse ;)
