THE WITCHER S3, Vol 2 3.06 / 3.08

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Why is Steven acting like all hope is lost? He could use his White Diamond power to possess the Cluster and make it not explode the Earth

Sure he could! Just like all the problems on earth can be solved immediately and without any complications and consequences if someone just took ALLLLLL the plastic in the ocean and launched it into space. Nothing hard about that at all. :)

after 200 years i've come back to my thor roots and picked up the immortal thor #1.

it has teenage loki in it. i'm sobbing into my elbow.

[southernvampire]

finished phantom liberty for the first time and man, I'm having some thoughts about Vin being so so self-sacrificing and selfless despite his search for a cure for the relic.

he sees so much of himself in So Mi and refuses to betray her, despite being betrayed by her. he doesn't want a cure if it'll cause him to betray someone he cares about, he refuses to stay mad at her because he understands her position and her guilt. they're one in the same, in a way- both so desperate to survive that they've done some fucked up shit they wish they hadn't. but he just can't betray her for the neural matrix. he understands too much. hell, he's not even sure if he would have done anything differently if he was in her exact situation.

so he gives her the treatment he wishes he could receive, knowing that his chances for such a thing are next to zero: he buckles her in and sends her off with the cure, genuinely wishing her the best while nursing the sting of her betrayal. no judgment, no anger, no bullet to her brain night city style, just gentleness. because at least one of them deserves to live out their life, and fuck, he couldn't imagine a worse fate than her dying from some Blackwall bullshit or living/dying under the thumb of the NUSA, who used her as a weapon for so long already. he'd rather break his own heart than give her back to Myers, and so he does.

no, if there's a way for Vin to live, he wants it to be on his terms and his terms only. nothing is worse than allowing those you care for to die, even if it's to find a way to keep him alive. sure, he has blood on his hands from his past at arasaka, from being a merc, from trying to find some way to continue on, but he refuses to have it be from anyone he loves. he's haunted enough by Jackie's death to lose another friend. and though she wasn't always honest and never told the whole truth, he couldn't help but care about So Mi. so he sacrificed the one thing that could have possibly cured him for good and tried to keep it together to find his own way to live.

"Ugh." Monkey King wakes up to a weird burning feeling in his stomach. He wants to attribute it to the amount of sweets he consumed yesterday but this doesn't feel like a regular heartburn. This feels more like he's forgetting something... something important.

"Something tells me today is going to be a stay in bed kinda day."

[shazzbaa]

Your star has never guided you wrong.

I'm so emotionally compromised by child, you guys... I wasn't even expecting to be able to still see and pick out which one is my kid on the cavern roof, MUCH LESS how bright and special it is.... The fact that Sam can, in a weird way, spend time with his child at zee, looking up to the false-stars to guide him, rEALLY DID ME IN.......

Anyway more liveblogging and feelings under the cut,

[No hints or info about other post-ambition tie-ins in tags/replies/etc please! I like stumbling upon things myself]

so like immediately after finishing the ambition we were obviously all emotionally compromised, but also, we were already thinking about this --

WE DIDNT KNOW. SO LIKE TWO WEEKS LATER,

IM NEVER GOING TO BE OVER THIS

And then I had to deal with these feelings by drawing this picture. ANYWAY THANKS FALLEN LONDON FOR MAKING THIS THE PERFECT AMBITION FOR SAMUEL IN EVERY WAY.

biggest peeves with genshin x reader fics

I'm going to preface this by saying you can write whoever you want however you want and no one is gonna stop you; heck, it likely won't even affect your likes and stuff. These are my personal peeves stemming from character portrayal <3 Characters A-D

Albedo ;; He isn't very heavily emotive; He is shown to approach almost everything from a logical/analytic standpoint!! My guy expressed concern with the most nonchalant voice, so he clearly does care, just not in an expressive/passionate way

Alhaitham ;; Similar to Albedo, but slightly more expressive! He clearly has things/people that he values, and his own ways of showing care differ from societal norms, which is why he comes across as cold and indifferent!! Even the vulnerability that comes slowly with trust isn't immediately obvious, but this is definitely something that's interesting to explore in works⎯ Would he change the way he feels comfortable expressing himself into something else for you? Would you want him to?

Aloy ;; fuck what genshin did to my girl im skipping aloy

Amber ;; One of her main personality traits is the lack of deliberation!! Even with people she really cares about and loves!! Overthinking? We don't know them

Itto ;; Let bro be silly. Let bro make mistakes. Let bro have no idea what he's doing, but know he's giving it his all no matter what��� This is the Arataki Way.

Arlecchino ;; Gonna be honest I know jack shit about her but everything I read sounds hot <3 I do think she isn't the type to get frazzled/embarrassed but boy oh boy you can try

Baizhu ;; bffr he would NOT let you neglect your health like... Look at the man 🤨 I don't think he's the yelling type either?? Like he'll stand up for you obviously, but wouldn't start a fight imo; He got them dangerous snake eyes and scary words fr

Barbara ;; idk i don't read minor x reader things + i don't think i've ever seen a barbara x reader ever 💀 I do think she'd be patient and caring to the point where doing anything bad would make you feel guilty asf :/ not even in a romantic way, just like⎯anything. The kind persona isn't actually an act, she's in a role where she cannot be seen as anything else but it isn't hard to be kind as she would act that way, idol or not. More of a character thought, not a fic peeve </3

Beidou ;; She would start fights for you and she'd win, we all know this. I do think that many fics don't explore her emotions to a deeper extent, like motives and such? I think there's a lot of flexibility in that, and many avenues to explore! Not a peeve either, just a thought.

Bennett ;; Minor again(?), I don't read Bennett fics aha 😭 Grasping at straws here, with such a brave face shown to everyone, taking it off to share the sadder stuff sounds hard

Candace ;; Dunno much either 💀 Nor do I see any fics about her...

Charlotte ;; Would she love and cherish you? Yes. Would she leave her job for you? No. Would she feel bad about always being busy chasing headlines? Yes! Would she only really do well with a partner who supports her career and aspirations? Yes!

Chevreuse ;; Sorry guys I don't even know her 😭

Chiori ;; Would also start fights for you, would also win; Clearly takes no shit, I imagine certain compromises would take a while to reach? Canonically fairly headstrong, I doubt she'd be a pushover with an s/o

Chongyun ;; Minor 🧍

Clorinde ;; Her showing vulnerability with you definitely means a LOT. Beyond her career and the things she does for it, I just know there's so much going on in her head :( Let my girl share, give her a safe space, be patient to eventually emotionally connect

Collei ;; Minor 🤨

Cyno ;; He does not seem like the dominant/aggressive/pushy type :( I bet there's complicated feelings between the way he acts as a General and the way he acts with a lover⎯undeniably would never want you to be scared of him. Teasing type, likely nothing worse.

Dehya ;; I haven't seen her done dirty, so I'm pretty content

Diluc ;; High-functioning man, having dealt with varying stressors over so many years I doubt anything could interrupt his work flow⎯having said that, yes that means issues with a relationship making him struggle to work would mean more; Yes, i still believe that's highly unlikely

Diona ;; No.

Dori ;; No. Also, I hate her.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

you know i've been thinking about the consequences of malleus's actions in book 7 and i realized how much he's fucked everyone over including his grandma. bc like other than the fact that he ob'd (which literally has NEGATIVE connotations one of which being is idk ""UNSTABLE"" which isnt necessarily a good look for a crown prince is all im saying) he's literally causing terrorism (??? can you call it that idk how else to call it) which is going to setback his grandma's efforts (and lilia's and baul's, and every supporter of his and his family) in keeping peace in their kingdom and the favor of the humans towards the fae. Like. i feel so bad for grandmother draconia rn i can only imagine the stress and pressure she's under.

Then theres also aside from PHYSCIALLY compromising everyone's healths in sage island (BECAUSE THE MAJORITY ARE HUMANS OR AT LEAST THEY DONT LIVE AS LONG AS THE FAE). He's also fucked everyone mentally twice over!!!! By booting them straight into a world where none of their problems exist. Now that wouldnt sound bad if it weren't for the fact that dreams have to end, and life isnt kind. It rarely ever is, and i can only imagine how distraught i would be if i were to say, hypothetically lost someone a year before and the wound is so fresh and raw and, in my dreams, they never died and everything is okay, then i wake up and realize that it was just that. A dream, they are still gone and i wish i never woke up which would be a LITERAL DEATH SENTENCE. This isnt just an event that takes place in NRC either BUT THE WHOLE ISLAND and that domain is GROWING, GROWING. I can't imagine just how many would be so emotionally ruined after this. Like.....

If Malleus does not suffer the consequences of his actions istg i will be so pissed, at least REMOVE HIM FROM THE PREMISE OR SOMETHING GODDDDDDD this cannot be remedied with a slap on the hand!!!!!

(Note: Sorry for the long rant. I felt the need to get this out of my chest bc i dont mind malleus's archetype actually nor do i actually hate him, bc i enjoy him interacting w other characters a lot (my fave ever vigenette is him giving deuce the equivalent of minecraft diamon for fixing a retrobit gaming toy) BUT GOD DOES HE MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL)

Yeah, I do feel like the scale of Malleus's actions cannot be understated. I know it's kind of a fandom joke that the OB boys are left off with a slap on the wrist + maybe some social ramifications at school, but this is the ONE time in the main story where things are getting super big and the effects could be cripplingly long-lasting.

I don't know if TWST will seriously address the consequences after book 7, but I sure hope they do!! There is a lot of interesting ground to cover (many points which this anon has already brought up) in a follow-up main story arc or the next book.

For example:

Malleus obviously has to regain the trust of his peers and staff. He didn’t really have it before but now has to work twice as hard to make connections since he just took a drastic action that confirmed the rumors some were already spreading about how he’s a monster.

He’s the sole heir to the throne and has just betrayed the trust of the people of Briar Valley. How are they feeling about him now? Do they still trust him to lead them?

How does this impact their relations with other countries (since Malleus himself stresses how he represents Briar Valley)? This is a problem visible on a global scale, and surely this would damage their rep with other nations, particularly the predominantly human ones. It’s setting back what is hundreds of years of trying to fix the broken trust between their races.

Malleus’s UM potentially puts his victims in physical harm; in book 7, Ortho suggests that since everyone is sleeping, their bodies are not getting the food or water they need. As a result, they may physically waste away and then perish. (We have seen that there are sleep blessings that keep people sleeping for hundreds of years without detriment to the blessed though, such as the one cast on Silver—so we cannot be entirely sure if Ortho’s theory is correct or not.)

There is the possibility that Malleus’s dreams may traumatize or retraumatize his victims, particularly those with deep rooted troubles. An example of this is Idia, who had suffered the loss of his brother when he was like… 8 years old??? But then in his dream, Idia is living a happy false reality that Ortho never died. When he finally comes to this realization, he has to relive the trauma of the discovery all over again and breaks down sobbing. We also see in the most recent book 7 update that Vil had to face the evilest aspects of himself and a dark reality; Rook became very emotional upon waking himself. Admittedly, Idia and co. coped with it well enough—this is proof of their character development and the strength of the new friendships they’ve formed. However, all the people on Sage’s Island/Twisted Wonderland may not react so positively or be so accepting of their cruel realities.

Again, just the overall moral dilemma of one person robbing all of Sage’s Island (and soon all of Twisted Wonderland) of their autonomy.

Potential extra work for STYX and whichever countries Malleus’s magic manages to spread to (repairing any physical damage caused by the thorns + mental damage done to those that fell asleep). That’s money, time, and resources that aren’t going toward other everyday endeavors.

How will Malleus himself mentally and emotionally cope with what he has done? Is he going to show remorse and shame? How does he plan on rectifying his actions, if at all?

Will this change how his dorm members + family view him? For example, will Sebek become disillusioned with his liege/realize Malleus is not as perfect as he seems? Will Maleficia blame herself for not being there for Malleus? Will Lilia feel guilty for not teaching Malleus right from wrong? Etc, etc, etc.

I’d honestly love to read all of these! 🤔 It would add a lot to the lore and history of Twisted Wonderland, as well as serve as motivators for Malleus to change, “be better”, and actually earn the respect he’s so used to being handed by default. This would be huge for him, especially seeing as he has not really faced significant backlash or consequences for any other missteps he was responsible for or involved in. (I know I bring this one up a lot, but Endless Halloween Night is one such major example.)

i'm in such phoenix brainrot riki i need you to write whatever is/was on your mind about him, some hcs, fics, whatever! just pure fluff

HII im info dumping stuff about phoenix that is definitely 100% canon since u said u didn't mind teehee. will also be a good way to be me back into writing muah so sorry

do NOT give this man gifts if thats ur love language. or do, but just be warned. he will use or wear whatever you give him until it becomes a hazard.

you got him flowers one time and he wouldn't throw them away until brim got mad and threw them out for him bc they were so so dead.

also in the same vein, he has a t-shirt you got him that's been worn so many times its decrepit. im talking about goodwill would not take it and he refuses to throw it out simply because you got it for him.

contrary to popular belief, he's not a constant supply of energy and will occasionally power down for a bit, but he likes to just.. exist with you. playing video games, reading a book, taking a nap, he doesn't care. he just wants to be around somewhere.

i've said this before somewhere but i do believe he has some sort of control over his body temperature -- not to an unhealthy extent, but he'll definitely be a heating pad or a space heater when you need him to be.

on the contrary, his abilities do go a little... haywire when he's any sort of emotionally unstable. that includes whenever you fluster him. some of his shirts and jackets have fallen victim to your compliments.

definitely a words of affirmation guy, but thats a given to an extent. whats not so much of a given is the gift-giving.

mention one time in passing that you want something and he'll get it for you, no questions asked. you wanted that shirt, but didn't say what color? he's buying you all of them.

he's also a touchy guy but not necessarily in an overly affectionate way, more so just a 'i want to be close' way. usually, that just looks like him throwing an arm over the back of the couch when you're next to him, or sitting so that his leg touches yours at dinner, or standing close enough that your hands barely touch at debriefs.

also a dog person but if ur not he can compromise by gasping over-dramatically and pointing at all the dogs in public when you're out together sigh

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHEN MOBIUS GETS EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED

I rewatched S1 (in prep for a GIANT meta reviewing S1 and S2 together), and upon second viewing, I greatly appreciate the subtle and gradual progression of trust within Loki and Mobius' friendship. S1E2 is key to this. Tom and Owen's performances are impeccable because the energy between them changes scene by scene alongside the plotpoints.

From Mobius' end, I think I found the exact moment Mobius officially became emotionally compromised when it comes to Loki:

S1E2

The interaction that caused the final blow: 32:09 - 33:04

"Gentleman's bet? Let's play for pride."

"Let's go let's go let's go!"

"Extinction of the swallow? Is that a thing?"

"Got 'em!"

Racing against time cross-refrencing apocalypses with the presence of Kablooie. Spouting back and forth about their progress. Sassy remarks.

After a rocky start, they are now operating on the same mental wavelength. They're in rhythm. They are having so much fun together. They are smiling and laughing. Any moment in which a best friend is made feels exactly like this.

Not only was Loki right about his Apocalypse Theory, he also finds the exact date and location where Sylvie hides. Mobius is so proud of him! Look at these faces:

But we don't see how smitten Mobius is until he's with Renslayer in the scene that immediately follows. Sure, Mobius is excited about getting close to catching Sylvie, but he's even more excited about how well he and Loki work together. It's incredibly sweet.

I couldn't find gifs of the exact dialogue I wanted, so I transcribed it like the obsessive fool that I am:

RENSLAYER: And this is all based on a theory from the variant who just blew your previous mission?

MOBIUS: Yeah, he's doing great!

AND

MOBIUS: Come on. You don't usually see me this worked up, right? I'm exited! Im chomping at the bit!

When he says this, even Ravonna looks happy for him? I'm kind of sad, actually. You can tell in this scene that Ravonna and Mobius truly were close friends, once upon a time.

Then, they go to the locker room before deployment, and what does Mobius do?

He's so happy he gives Loki his daggers (a symbol of love), likely knicked and saved for who knows how long, hidden from Renslayer because this love is precious and he will not give it up. (@northrnfool you put this so well in another post!)

S1E2 has so much to unpack. Every scene is so layered, yet efficient and economic in effectively in propelling emotion and plot. I can't wait to word vomit on the whole series. Please forgive me.

[twst-hottest-takes]

So, I’d say I’m someone who really likes Malleus. I enjoy seeing him pop up in events and the main story, and I’ll go out of my way to enjoy fanart and fanfics about him. BUT at the same time I’m his biggest hater, call me a Leona kinnie because as far as I’m concerned that’s my nemesis fr fr.

Seriously though, while I genuinely like Malleus, I also have a lot of grievances with the way his character is written and utilized whenever he shows up. For a while I had trouble pin pointing what exactly my grievances were, but it JUST hit me.

I was scrolling through some fanart I have saved on Pinterest(my Twisted Wonderland fanart treasure trove) and I REALIZED that all my favorite pieces of Malleus art featured him being emotional and/or really expressive; something we don’t get to see him be all that much, especially not in the main story.

And that’s my problem with Malleus, he’s not nearly as reactive as I want him to be, especially not when compared to the other characters. When it comes to Malleus, there isn’t a lot that can get under his skin and bother him, which is fine on paper but the way it’s executed means that most of his reactions to strange situations - ones that would have any other character panicking - are blunt and subdued.

And, of course, the reason he’s like this is because of ginormous power gap between him and literally everyone else in the world.

Why does Malleus not panic when the VDC stadium is destroyed? When Vil is turned into an old man? When ANYTHING bad happens? Because he can fix it instantly with magic, he’ll even comment on how easy it was. Even without magic we know that Malleus is physically super strong by virtue of being a dragon.

And it’s not just the big stuff, at this point I’m scared that Malleus’ next birthday card vignette will just be him immediately making himself look perfect with magic. Because of his incredible power, I feel like I’m missing out on a more messy, uncomposed side of him.

Like I just want to see this guy realize he forgot to set an alarm last night and he’s late for first period.

However, I’ll admit that this way of characterizing Malleus does have its upsides. That scene in Book Seven when we Malleus yells about the Senate and his Grandmother telling him what Lilia did for him??? PEAK, NO NOTES, BEST MOMENT IN BOOK SEVEN AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED, and I’m not certain it would’ve hit as hard if we DIDN’T have to slog through Malleus’ boring reactions thus far.

All of this is to say that when we finally get to fight OB Malleus and we get to see his backstory, I NEED to see him snap I NEED to see him panic and yell and cry and lost his composurE PLEASE YANA PLEASE.

And if they want to have their vaguely Grim shaped OB monster pose ANY sort fo a threat they better nerf Malleus HARD. Not just magically I need him to be physically weakened please. If this happens the birds will sing, the flowers will bloom, an angel will gets its wings etc

We've been hitting the nail on the head with these Malleus takes lately.

As anon said, he's had his upsides and moments and hopefully with the game moving towards the end (plz?) of Book 7 we can see more of Malleus' emotional range. . .gosh I hope so. Please nerf him. He can't keep being this powerful, if it always effects the weather it's no wonder he's emotionally stunted! BRING THIS MAN DOWN TO OUR LEVEL! (Or at least direct his rage at something worth smiting.)

I can only say, "Malleus is too important for his own good," so many times before it gets stale, but that's the issue in essence. So powerful, noble birth, such status, dragon, very dignified *Wow*. So trying to get him on the level where we really relate to and understand him as a person is awfully difficult for this game apparently. He's not the only character who suffers from the "can't have his image compromised because reasons" thing, but I digress. Malleus does have some fun and silly moments, but there's a lot more potential with him that's yet to be explored. I know that it's not impossible to have a character so far removed from average who can still be endearing and relatable, but the game just hasn't done that with Malleus. His otherworldly aura and pressence makes it hard to think of him as a person, which is very intentional; however, it puts him on this pedestal and has been written into a corner that doesn't allow his character to breathe. It's why he needs friendships like with the MC to help "humanize" him. That's something which the game doesn't do enough of.

Thank you for your take.

ACOTAR: Gwyn is a Lightsinger Theory

Summary

Gwyn’s powers are of beckoning songs that emit joy and light; they literally make her glow. This power causes her to knowingly or unknowingly manipulate people into wanting to make her happy. There’s a lot of phrases like:

* “…didn’t know why she did it…”

* “…didn’t know why she wished to see Gwyn…”

* “…for whatever reason…”

Etc.

Not only that but Gwyn’s voice is a siren call to people who are lost, not physically lost but emotionally. Gwyn herself is a siren call. Is it ethical? Her powers seem to be as ethical as Rhys and Feyre’s Daemati powers, the difference is that Feysand know how to control these powers, and right now we don’t know if Gwyn knows about her powers. Im sure the truth will come out sooner or later, but I do not think she is evil in any way.

Ps: Gwyn might be being manipulated by Merrill, but thats a whole other post.

PPS: Azriel’s shadows not warning him of Gwyn’s presence in the bonus chapter is bad. His shadows are his alert system, his upper hand on his enemies. If his shadows are compromised, that means that he doesn’t know if there’s any immediate danger.

How does God and Lucifer’s siblings view the sins? Are his siblings jealous they have been replaced or are some of them glad that Lucifer has found others who he can be a family with?

Also, do Asmodeus and Lucifer ever indulge in bird like behavior together?

God is very pleased Lucifer has them, He intended for it and a lot of the needless cruelty of the fall was to ensure Lucifer was found, endeared and open(desperate enough) to accept the help of the demons princes.

A full power emotionally destabilized Archangel wasn't going to be quick to make friends in hell. And Yes, I am very much looking forward to unpacking God's 'Ends justify the Means' mentality and 'Father knows best' approach to making decisions that affect other people without their say.

He likes them if only cause He's less guilty for losing Lucifer's original family if he ends up with another one.

However they as individuals are very foreign, while nothing is like Him, He has an understanding of creatures that strive for His perfection. He does not know what to do with those that have no interest in His order. Especially those created outside His will.

He skittish around Fat Nuggets as He is the Sins its very amusing

He's immune to Fear of Unknown by nature of being All knowing, they aren't Other to Him - He's perfectly aware they are complex people with depth and value. Which has unlocked some other, far stranger emotional response that like a morbid intrigue.

The sins and archangels' dynamics do have some posts here and here but im always up for an excuse for a proper mindset deep dive!

Because of implicit and explicit bias his brothers think of hellborn demons as lesser, Heaven is just like that, not necessarily bad just insignificant in the wake of God's Will and Order.

They see them as pets Luci is using to fill the void they left behind, the best he can do, while they're not necessarily upset at the situation by itself...

They are absolutely affronted at Lucifer being closer and more comfortable with the sins than he is or really ever was with them.

All he does is complain about the sins and how he has to manage them! (context) They were under the impression he barely tolerated them what do you mean he finds the demons' company preferable and there's a undercurrent of unbreakable trust and unconditional love in all that taunting and banter.

His siblings aren't jealous of being replaced however they are extremely jealous of being superseded.

They also... see the sins as bringing out Lucifer's 'worst traits', (mainly, Pride) because Christianity Heaven runs on shame and repression so nothing's more terrifying to them than someone being unapologetic in themselves

It's like, the worst parts of Catholic guilt and Protestant evangelical beliefs mixed together.

He has to miserable in hell in every way because if he was even the least bit happy away from the church Heaven that would have to mean something was wrong with him... or it. They don't want to see their brother like that but they're unwilling to compromise their worldview either, for who are they without God? Who is God if He's wrong?

Lucifer is cringe(and damned) but he is free etc etc

I'm so glad that near decade I spent studying Christian dogma and culture is coming in useful, there's so much texture and potential in this family dynamic

Yes, YES!!! I have waited my whole life for someone to ask about this, Bird solidarity!! Asmodeus unfortunately doesn't have a beak (it's different from claws or fingers and not even other angels can replicate it, fuck he misses his Dad) but still mutual preenings!! Billing!! Nestling!! Headbutting!! Wing tucking!! Someone who gets it!

I think Lucifer feels way more fondness for the Ars Goetia than he has any right to just cause a lot of them are birds.

Yeah they're pompous arrogant pricks but, those are endearing quirks to him if it's birds (okay he sees these as basically pets)

Paimon is still around despite his everything because he has a beak and is one of the few Goetia to truly prioritize ass kissing over dignity or prestige and will groom him without acting like it's weird.

⭑ SEUNGHAN & HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH RIIZE

this will be an extended version of my twitter thread going over the synastry between seunghan and the members of riize. (im not a shipper!!)

this is an astrology thread

love you RII7E

more below!!

⭑ SHOTARO

(i absolutely love shotaro’s chart 🥺 it just fits him so so well) these two have such a joyful connection. there’s never a dull moment between these two and it is just the kind of lightheartedness that both need while navigating their careers. in the same breath, they can be a very serious duo who are continuously pushing each other towards improvement. they work better as a team, with the ability to make each of them shine individually. shotaro has a lot to teach seunghan and in return, seunghan sings shotaro’s praises any and every chance he can get,,, like he absolutely ADORES shotaro. seunghan believes in shotaro and teaches shotaro to continue being his truest self. (🧋’s jupiter trine ��’s sun)

shotaro takes more of an leading role amongst these two (and all of riize if we’re honest) and seunghan will gladly follow due to his admiration and respect for who shotaro is as a person. (🧋’s saturn trine 🫧’s mercury). shotaro motivates seunghan, constantly inspiring him especially when it comes to art (🧋’s mars conjunct 🫧’s venus). they know that they have a forever friendship in each other and always ending on up on the same side, is always a win for them.

⭑ EUNSEOK

what makes these two work so well is just how different they are. look at their sun signs — pisces (eunseok) and libra (seunghan) are nothing alike. pisces is a water sign, libra is an air sign. pisces is mutable, while libra is cardinal. nearly every one of their personal placements oppose or square each other, and yet, they just work. i think these two are a great example of the balance, work, and compromise that is needed amongst two people with placements that oppose and square each other. although oppositions and squares are often seen to bring tension, this tension is necessary to test the willingness of the two to make things work. and these two have definitely put in the work due to how comfortable they are with one another despite any differences.

eunseok’s capricorn moon really provides great insight to his closeness with seunghan. (i think the capricorn moon is why eunseok get’s his “stone” reputation from despite having a pisces sun + mercury, as well as an aries venus and sagittarius mars…… thats alot of energy.) capricorn moons prioritize safety and security emotionally and the longevity of their relationship provides that for eunseok (seunghan was his longest roommate). seunghan provides a safe space for eunseok’s emotions and in return, eunseok continues to care for seunghan, especially mentally. ( 🪨’s moon trine 🫧’s mercury)

seunghan is a good influence on eunseok. despite both being shy, seunghan continuously brings eunseok out of his bubble. together, they are able to try new things together and step out of their comfort zone. they both inspire and motive each other to become better versions of themselves which is the perfect foundation for a long lasting, harmonious connection.

⭑ SUNGCHAN

these two are literally that meme that goes “i see you, i see you, we see each other.” they are so similar to one another. their connection though, is so, so strong mentally.

they bounce off each other so effortlessly like once you get one of them started, the other one has to join in. it allows them to playful in very mercurial ways, whether that be through jokes or imitation. they are both able to keep up with the pace of each other’s minds, in ways that the other members can’t. its like sharing the same brain sometimes….. oftentimes. (both of their suns are conjunct the other’s mercury…. wow). due to their similarities, they are able to garner great understanding of one another. (🐸’s venus sextile 🫧’s venus) i love how observant they are of each other. they admire each other greatly and see each other has an outlet to learn more about the world and themselves.

⭑ WONBIN

these two are an artistic match made in heaven. somewhere venus is smiling down on these two for crossing paths. from their insane visuals, to their mutual love and passion for the craft, they artistically benefit from one another (i need my dance line back 😡). they compliment each other almost effortlessly and enjoy sharing this mutual passion. it is a connection in which they can both foster and nurture the confidence of one another which helps them be a better team, which they’re always striving for (🎸’s mars sextile 🫧’s mars) . they admire each other’s talents and will be vocal about their admiration whenever they can( 🎸’s mercury trine 🫧’s venus & 🎸’s venus trine🫧’s north node)

outside of art, they take each other very seriously. wonbin is very considerate of seunghan’s thoughts and reassures seunghan through his attentiveness (🎸’s saturn trine 🫧’s sun) in return, seunghan continues to be a positive influence in wonbin’s life by making life lighter and brighter (🎸 ‘s jupiter sextile 🫧’s jupiter)

⭑ SOHEE

i cannot believe these two are separated from each other,,, like my heart hurts. but in all seriousness, when you’re in a “loving sohee” competition and seunghan is your opponent… (and everyone in the group fucking knows it) theres just so much affection and sweetness between these two. seunghan always wants to make sohee feel cared for and in return, sohee continues to make seunghan feel safe and comfortable.

im very carefuly when using the word fated but like…… look at the material, plus all their north node synsatry ( 💂‍♀️’s north node trine 🫧 mercury, 💂‍♀️’s jupiter trine 🫧’s north node, and then both of their nn’s being conjunct (ik they’re born a month apart) ….. FATED). these two enjoy each other’s company so so much. as long as they are together, they are happy and oftentimes it just feels like these two are in their own world. (💂‍♀️’s venus sextile 🫧’s venus)

⭑ ANTON

seunghan is a MUTHAAAAAA. despite only being a few months older than him, seunghan cant help himself when it comes to taking care of anton. seunghan is someone who truly has anton’s best interest at heart and wants to do what he can to see anton grow because thats very important to him (🦕’s jupiter conjunct 🫧’s jupiter). seunghan helps build anton’s confidence and plays an very active role in doing this. from words of affirmation, to to helping anton look his absolute best, seunghan wants to see anton feel great in his own skin. seunghan is anton’s BIGGEST cheerleader (look at him) and nd he is a driving force within anton’s support system. this greatly puts anton at ease because to him, seunghan is someone who encourages him rather than criticizes him (🦕’s venus trine 🫧’s mercury)

these two truly have each others backs. they enjoy each others company due how comfortable they are with each other (🦕’s venus conjunct 🫧’s north node) everything is lighthearted, yet sincere when it comes to these two and it is a connection that has a lasting impact on one another

please do not repost without crediting me. i hope you all enjoyed this and continue to support #SEUNGHANHOUR in any capacity that you can. let me know if you’d like more of these in the future’

sorry im gonna yap in here bc i feel like you might get it

the way kab treats zam drives me up the WALLS. he doesnt owe her SHIT. kab MADE THE CHOICE to open up zam, sure, but the way she acts like that means he's obligated to follow her to the ends of the earth and tell her everything. holy shit. admittedly i havent seen kabs stream from today yet so i dont know what the fuck was going through her head but the way she got upset at him for not wanting her help with HIS mental health (???) is crazy.

"i cant spend my energy on you when you dont want to be helped" Zam, who deadass doesnt think theres anything wrong and has no fucking idea where this I Can Fix You shit came from:

feel free to ignore this btw im just watching the vod and i keep pausing to stand and walk around the room and say "you dont owe her shit" out loud

no i get it anon, the thing about kab is that she seems to think she can fix zam — not in a direct way like vi or minute but in a trying to become his therapist friend way which is Wild to say the least

she shares two things in common with vi and minute in regards to zam: 1. they care about him. a lot. and because of that they 2. impose what they think is best for him upon him despite the fact that he neither wants nor has asked for any of it, but they do it cause they care and they want whats best for him and they want to show it but in that desire to show him they care they instead end up being really fucking ableist to him

like theres a reason why i said the ppl who love zam the most are also the ones who are the most ableist to him and this is part of the reason why, because they think love and care and effort is enough to help someone become "better" without taking into account that everyone is an individual and not all methods work

vi is a more complicated situation than the other two cause a lot of miscommunication between them was borne out of an impossible compromise that they tried their hardest to reconcile but never could, but with minute and kab zam has said to them to their faces that he doesnt need or want their help (at least not the kind they offer) and yet still they keep doing what they thought is best for him (for parasocial reasons for minute and for attempt at connections reasons for kab)

and the thing is the reason they kept imposing their care upon him is cause of this distorted image they have of him: vi thought zam was mentally ill and just needed to be coddled to feel better, minutes image of zam as a hero who fought even against impossible odds got shattered when he realized zam was no longer the person he used to be, and kab thinks zam is an emotionally closed off self-pitying hypocrite who never puts in any effort in their relationship together

this screenshot of one of her chatters (whose sentiment she agreed with btw) explains why kab infantilizes him so much i think (explains as in its how she thinks of him)

RULES: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs. Okay that last rule I'm ignoring. Send me asks if you want. Most of this shit is gonna be ridiculous because I don't generally name for real until the end.
