Me: IT SHOULD!!!

Hello my love💗What are your thoughts sun in 8th house? sorry if it bothers, thankyou sm!!! big love to you🥺💞🌷

Awwww big love to you too! It's no bother, sorry to get back to you so late haha. I have this aspect so I feel well equipped to explain it

Sun In 8th House / (can be applied to Sun/Pluto aspects or Sun in Scorpio)

The sun represents our individuality, self expression, ego, and will. It shines a light wherever it is in the birth chart. The house/sign that it's in gets illuminated and put on display for ourselves and others, it shines very brightly and can be tightly wound to the way we express ourselves and/or are perceived by others.

This can be a struggle when in the 8th house because it is where we keep our secrets and want to retain a sense of privacy and secrecy. It's the most vulnerable and intimate parts of us that we prefer to keep to ourselves or people we trust deeply and unconditionally. It's the part of ourselves that undergoes the raw experience of death, transformation, and rebirth. when the sun is here, it acts like a giant, bright, beaming light onto this close and raw part of our chart that many people are able to keep hidden. think of it like a spotlight that gets shown onto the raw parts of you for the entire world to see. These people often have their secrets and private life exposed no matter how they try to avoid it. people seem to feel entitled to always be in their business and give unsolicited advice, judgements, and opinions to them. especially if the native is a woman, a lot of people can have opinions on her sexuality. she can be seen as provocative or at the least just a whole lot of people "know" things about her sex life (a rumor about body count, a bad/good sex story, nudes being leaked [if in pisces or aspected to neptune], sexuality on display in an almost unavoidable way). Some of this judgement can be casted on by her father as the sun is the "father" in astrology.

However, as the light (sun) shines brightly for the world to see, this includes the native as well. people with this placement have a remarkable gift of self transformation and metamorphosis. They are often aware of the deepest and darkest parts of themselves at a degree not many people are and have a great drive and determination to become the most evolved version of themselves constantly. This awareness sometimes comes without choice, and if they try to avoid it or ignore it it can fester into an inflated ego or power issues. this only comes when the native blocks the transformation journey their soul is destined to take. They are destined to be born, die, and then be reborn many many times in this single lifetime. They take their own self discovery very seriously and unraveling the mysteries of the self tend to be their main objective in this lifetime. These people are the kinds of people who you stop talking to then a year later they are a completely different version of themselves. it is almost impossible for these people to remain the same, as their entire will to life is to change!

This self awareness can manifest into a keen awareness of the darkness that exists in others. While most people project onto them or try to weasel their way into this natives business, this projection only aids the native in the ability to read them like a book (once the native learns that the perception people have of others comes from how they see themselves). Once they unlock the ability to detach from other peoples perceptions, they gain the ability to turn the "spotlight" back around and see people clearly. They can see peoples darkest secrets, deep insecurities, projections, and denial through their own lack of introspection. For a lot of people, it can take years to begin detangling the web of the 8th house, but the sun can be a blessing in disguise here as these natives have no other choice but to unravel it all.

I love Scandal in the Spotlight. Goes without saying. The guys have been my little safe space since I was a teenager. They're well-written and unique, and the story setting is fun. They make you laugh and cry and their bond with each other is one of my favorite things. This is established.

However.

Genuinely some of the CGs suck. This is coming from someone who is head over heels obsessed with the game. I'm sorry some of the artwork for the CGs leave much to be desired.

So.

For the heck of it, l'm gonna rate some CGs based on whether I think it looks realistically proportionate and we're gonna do this one guy at a time :)

The lucky boy today is: Kyohei Rikudoh Mr. Producer man himself and my personal favorite 😊

I have a set of about nine CGs of Kyohei’s that I will rate, based solely on personal bias and opinion. Let us begin :)

Starting off with a classic one from his main story, we give this one a 9/10. Proportionately it’s well done. It’s charged with personality. We love it.

What is this? Why is this? It just… no. Doesn’t really look like him, the proportions are off and it bothers me. 4/10.

Yes, oh my god. The intensity, the drama, that jawline 😍 we love it. 8/10.

Okay this one is good. It’s at an odd angle but it’s a decent look in spite. 6/10

This one, LOVE this one. The fervent look on his face and his domineering attitude is 😚🤌🏻. Omg and the hair 🥰 yes, we love. 8/10.

Okay I like this one but, it’s like we changed art styles all of a sudden. Like it looks like him but in an alternate art style universe. 6/10.

This one is one of my most favorite ever. It’s so accurately him it scratches an itch in my brain. Like this is Kyohei in a snapshot. His expression is fond and kinda tender but slightly teasing, lol just like him. I love this one. 12/10.

I hate this one with a burning passion for literally no reason whatsoever. -2/10

This one might be my favorite one ever. Kyohei’s stories pull on my heart strings so hard and this CG encompasses everything that pulls me in. Just LOOK AT IT. Omg. He literally carries around so much, more than the others in a lot of ways, and for a moment you can see it in his eyes and I just— 🥺😭 100/10.

Do you agree with my ratings?

Very protective. A good father. Fuck what anyone says. He is a good husband material. I support you and johnny! Tho i don't like mr.cage in the spotlight all the time. He doesn't deserve any less respect. He has it from me. So as long as he watches himself. 😎😊

🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖🐉

I know it's not a lot. And there is so many more characters. But some i just can't really do. I don't really have anything i can think to write properly about them. So forgive me. 🙏🏻💖. Also may do a kombat ladies version soon.

1. Is John irredeemable to you? If so what would've been a better fitting end to him? 2. Would the story be better if he literally wasn't in it? 3. Who would you have take the spotlight if he was gone? 4. Would anything he does change your mind on the character or nah? 5. Do you dread all of his current and future arcs or do you have hope they will deliver? 6. Do you think his redemption is bs? If so why? (2/2)

1. is john irreedeemable to you? if so, what wouldve been a better fitting end to him?

no, i dont think hes irreedeemable. i dont really think anyones irreedmable ?? i think hes definitely done bad things, but you also have to take in count his situation, his trauma, and mentality/mental health/state of mind. this of course doesnt discount all the shit hes done-- but no i dont think hes irreedeemable. also, his ending i think was done very well as he's currently on the tough road to recovery- and thats the best end you could ever give a character like him.

2. would the story be better if he literally wasn't in it?

wh- what ?? the story is about him. in the end, hes the main character and the storys about his turmoil and past and character growth. there is other stuff with spectre and ember that doesnt directly involve him, but the story surrounds him. i think i definitely prefer other characters over him just as a personal bias and id love to see a side story with them, still, its johns story. it wouldnt be the same without him. also, without him, so many people would be different. seraphina would still be stuck in the endless spiral of dissatisfaction, and characters like remi, blyke, and isen mightve never questionned their moral compasses + the hierachy.

3. who would you have take the spotlight if he was gone?

again, i dont think the story would be better/the same without him. theres no one id want to take his place, but out of personal bias- probably isen LMAO. hes just so skrunkly 🥺🥺

4. would anything he do change your mind on the character or no?

i dont really understand this question ?? of course my opinions on him will change as he grows and develops !! itd be strange for my opinion on him to stay static. i think that what i think of a character can always be swayed based on canon developments with the character + other people opinions. anything he does will change the way i see john, whether negatively or positively

5. do you dread all of his current and future arcs or do you have hope ?

i dont think i necessarily "dread" them. personally, i look forward seeing how he grows and develops, and im curious how uru will write him. i think im a bit uncertain with how uru will treat him just because of how characters/archetypes such as he are usually treated, but so far imo uruchans done a very well job of handling him. i definitely have hope for him in the future-- i dont think ill ever 100% forgive him to what he did to my blorbos but im still looking forward to his character development and growth !!

6. do you think his redemption is bs ? is so, why ?

okay i definitely dont think its bs. i think his redemption was very well executed and realistic !! i do believe he can get better and that he can redeem himself in some ways, but his actions are his actions, if that makes sense. i like that not everyone has to forgive him, and not everyone will. i think that yeah he did shit things, but that doesnt mean he cant improve from there. redemption really is just an improvement and an acknowledgement of your wrongs, i suppose.

--

ty for these questions !! they really made me think on how i felt ab him. feel free to send in more if youd like and make sure to take these with a grain of salt since i am human and i am somewhat biased

also sorry if these dont make sense its almost 3 am rn GHVBDJSJ

cant believe you made me think so much ab this stupid greasy mf smh 😔 /j
