brainstorming a main villain for jojolands
I've yet to draw this main villain but I have one in mind that's also based on this post I made predicting the overall story. Given how villains mirror the theme of the story by being unable to realize it or fail at achieving what the theme requires for them to succeed, I made a villain that would represent this for The JOJOLands.
I had this duo Stand ability for a while that also pairs well with the villain too. To not delay any further: meet Venice "V" Vuitton.
Tumblr media
V, at the start of The JOJOLands, is the sole head and former heiress of the Vuitton fortune. Known as "new money" in Hawaii's elite, the Vuittons gained their obscene wealth from being major players in the hospitality and tourism industry. Despite their status, they are well-liked by the more "old money" members and have rubbed elbows with families like Howler during their time in the business. The Vuitton hotel chain is seen on every populated island of Hawaii and has spread to states like California and New York in the past 10 years; recently, it opened a new hotel in Japan to begin its international expansion post-COVID. Much of the Vuittons hold varying degrees of power, wealth and status as socialites but a power struggle in the 1990s led to only a few remaining Vuittons to hold onto the fortune: the patriarch grandfather and his wife, their two sons and their wives, and one of the son's daughter Venice. Her family calls her V and never refer to her as anything else but that.
V was the only child of her parents and lived with a silver spoon in her mouth all her life. Despite the Vuittons appearing close-knit and having a reputation of being a loving family, V would describe her childhood as lonely and neglectful. Money was used to give her anything but familial love and her education was more focused on making her become a future wife and socialite than help her follow her dreams or create good memories with her family. The conservative nature of the family and their constant moving around the world also made it difficult for V to keep friends; many kept in touch with her simply because of her connections and wealth. Eventually, V became rebellious and engaged in crimes like petty theft and drug usage in response to the lack of love and connection pushing her over the edge. Rather than use their money to provide her therapy or understand their child, V's parents instead sent her to an involuntary residential treatment center in an island of Hawaii in hopes of "straightening her out".
V spent her remaining teen years there being abused by the staff and one evening planned her escape with other teenagers who had similar upbringings. These teenagers, who were the first and only genuine friends she had, died while trying to escape due to the currents of the ocean. V nearly died trying to escape with them as well but the event helped her discover her duo Stands she never realized until then and used that to save herself.
"Frame by Frame" allowed her to see ten seconds of the past at any moment, manifesting itself as a polaroid camera she activates by taking a snapshot. Its complementary ability, "THE WAITINGMAN", allowed her to drop what she would call an "anomaly" into the past as many times as she wanted. Said anomalies are random changes in the past that either result in no changes in the present (a small rock moving one inch to the left) or a drastic change instead (making someone change their mind about killing someone). On a whim, she used her abilities to save herself from drowning that night; the anomaly dropped was a driftwood that helped her float back to the shore.
Realizing how she could change the past, she used her Stand abilities again to first prevent her friends from dying, then to avoid certain abuse from the center's staff, and eventually to prevent her parents from shipping her and her friends off to the treatment center all together. She began dropping frequent anomalies as a means to rewrite her past so that her family, once cold and unable to show her love, now became doting and kind to her in the present. V could tell by the photos and home videos, now heavily altered from what it was before, that the anomalies worked to transform her family into one that she yearned for all these years. Unfortunately, changing the past doesn't mean altering the memories she had of it; she could only see those "good times" she supposedly experienced in the past through the screen and everyone else never knew about the "bad times" she seemed to only remember. Her friends, as a result of surviving and never going to the treatment center, never remembered the trauma they went through with her or even knew her beyond being another Vuitton in the elite circles, another rich girl with connections and money. Everyone else's memories have been altered by the anomalies- except hers.
In response to this, V decided to use her Stands to kill off her remaining family and friends affected and she became the sole head of the Vuittons at age 20 as a result. She did this by carefully putting various anomalies in the past so that people died in different ways at different times in history; the deaths were seen simply as a series of absurd events that made people sympathetic to V's curated tragedy. It's implied that "power struggle" mentioned earlier was caused by V's abilities and she played along with what the media called "The Vuitton Curse". Now the new head of the family and of the Vuitton estate, her young age and reputation as a party girl made the media paint her as a ditzy, bratty socialite during the 2010s who frequented the Hawaiian party scene and is surrounded by similar socialites who she called her friends or besties. However, those behind closed doors knew her as a savvy businesswoman who is milking the reputation of "famous for being famous" to her own use. V was now a brand, the precursor to the modern social media star, and able to make the world view her at worst a caricature and at best an icon. She actually has no genuine friends beyond those she pretends to be friends with for the photos and connections. She uses her anomalies to alter and experiment with the past so she could maintain her Vuitton revenue while pretending to be a harmless "celebutante" that gained a cult following of fans who find her aesthetics and opulent lifestyle pleasing or ideal. The world mostly see her as a pretty socialite who's persona has created several edits and online content by the netizens that see her performance as "iconic" and nothing more. Ten years later, at age 30, she would encounter and go up against Jodio Joestar in the story. Another case of Jodio's team trying to go after a rich person's fortune and not realizing they're up against another Stand User, she finds out he's able to see her abilities, how she was behind almost every aspect of his own life going down the drain. She becomes threatened with the possibility that her coveted powers are going to be taken away by him. That may be how her story ends: forgotten like the memories she altered, locked away in some form so no one could find her, and no longer having the ability that was supposed to save her.
Her current motivation in the story is boredom.
In her mind, she has already gained everything she wants and can get anything else if she desires within seconds if she wanted to. She has no use for achieving bigger goals, pursuing a better life, or finding new relationships to bond over when she can just use her Stands to get it almost instantly; she simply chooses not to. No one understands this about her and therefore no one is on her level or worthy enough to get on it. She is unable to make memories or experiences that are genuinely meaningful due to her Stands and therefore unable to share or bond with others over either. She doesn't desire to change anything for any reason other than to satisfy her boredom. Her days, if she's not partying or shopping or occasionally checking on her business ventures, are spent reading old news articles or history books to use Frame by Frame to find a point in time to manipulate and see what happens after she drops the anomaly (or several). At one point, she tried to use her powers for good and prevent global tragedies, but quickly became bored of "playing savior" and decided to just stick to only changing the past for her own pleasure instead. If you dig deeper, her fears stem from losing this upper status in life, this ability to supposedly play God, this boring and seemingly uneventful life disrupted. She knew what it was like to be controlled and lack agency despite being given everything on a silver platter- and she dare not return back to that.
While the ability results in altering people's memories, sometimes those memories of the previous past lingers on; people unaware of the Stand powers being used have cited the phenomenon as "Mandela effects". The most recent anomaly V dropped was making a certain bird trapped in a burning school bus.
So, yeah! That's all I have for V! Let me know what you think of her. You're also free to draw her as well if you like!

Quote
In St Paul's churchyard, Elizabeth heard a Latin address from the schoolboys, then moved through Ludgate to Fleet Street where the last pageant stood. In political terms, this was perhaps the most significant. Once again, Anne Boleyn's coronation was invoked, this time in association with that of Edward VI. In 1533, Anne's symbol, the falcon, had flown from a 'cloud' of fine sarsenet into a nest of Tudor roses, accompanying verses declaring that God had conferred imperial authority on her as Queen and on Henry's issue by her. The bird appeared in the same manner at Edward's 1547 ceremony, this time transformed into Jane Seymour's phoenix.

Far too much traveling for my liking.
Been on two trips this month for work. I have two trips BACK TO BACK next month and one is a whole ass WEEK LONG CONFERENCE next month. Then the week after those trips, we’re going to visit my parents in Florida for Thanksgiving.
I was like, SURELY there won’t be any travel in December because of the holidays???
But no, it’s the opposite. I am going to go back to HQ for our team holiday luncheon.
And tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if there ends up being more travel for trials and such. But that’s too bad because I’m doing a musical and December is tech week and show for the first two weeks. So that will hopefully be my only December travel.

‘I’m Still Here’ Star Fernanda Torres Wins Golden Globe 26 Years After Her Mom Was Nominated in Same Category
Tumblr media
“I’m Still Here” star Fernanda Torres won her first Golden Globe, and cemented her place in the awards race, after scoring the statue for best actress in a motion picture, drama.
Torres, 59, appeared stunned to hear her named called and kept her speech short. She was nominated against Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl”), Angelina Jolie (“Maria”), Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”), Tilda Swinton (“The Room Next Door”) and Kate Winslet (“Lee”) and was not expected to prevail against all those A-listers and icons. In the political drama, Torres plays Eunice Paiva, a grieving mother who is coping with the forced disappearance of her husband, former leftist politician Rubens Paiva, during during Brazil’s military dictatorship.
“My god, I didn’t prepare anything because I was late already,” Torres admitted from the stage at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. “And this is such an amazing year for female performances. There are so many actresses here who I admire so much.”
She becomes the first Brazilian actress to win the award for best actress in a motion picture, drama. Her victory seemed to be especially meaningful because her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, was previously nominated in the same category in 1999 for “Central Station,” which also earned her an Oscar nod. Montenegro, now 95, appears in “I’m Still Here” as the older version of Eunice.

At just 15, Ketzianna Dacosta, better known as Coasta or Ketzi, has already made a massive impact as the youngest and arguably the hottest member of The Bimbo Dolls. With her striking purple hair and a voice that’s as powerful as it is mesmerizing, Ketzi has quickly become the face of the group, captivating fans with her undeniable star power. Her killer looks and vocal talent make her a force to be reckoned with, and it’s clear this rising star is poised to go down in history as one of the most iconic figures in the music industry.

"Who doesn't love Jaja?" - "Jennifer Allen"
Jennifer Allen, the 21-year-old sensation from Wilcox County, Alabama, is taking the spotlight by storm with her signature bright blonde hair, bold pink eyeshadow, and iconic cowgirl hats. Known for her Southern charm and vibrant energy, she’s formed a sister-like bond with Ketzi within the first year of their group’s formation. When she’s not dazzling fans, Jennifer is often seen rubbing shoulders with fellow blonde icons like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, solidifying her status among Hollywood’s elite. This rising star is just getting started, and the world can’t wait to see what she does next!

"Why choose between cute and sexy when you can be both?" - Ki Ji-Hye
Ki Ji-Hye, who debuted at just 13 as part of Vivid Queens, made a bold move when she left to join Bimbo Dolls and reinvented herself as "Baby." Now 18, she’s become a fan favorite for her irresistible mix of sweetness and undeniable confidence. As the second youngest member of the group, Baby shares a special bond with Ketzi, and together, they’re a dynamic duo known for their playful antics and captivating charm. Always ready to have fun, they’ve quickly earned a reputation for shaking things up in the industry.

"Keep obsessing over my exes, but you're nothing more than a tabloid footnote." - Kailani Robinson
At 23, K.R. (Kailani Robinson) stands as one of the older "it girls" of Bimbo Dolls, holding the title of the second eldest member of the group. Known for her overconfident, unapologetically bold persona, K.R. has earned a reputation as both a fierce gold digger and a "bad girl" of the industry. She’s not shy about using her wealth to spoil her fellow Bimbo Dolls especially, Ketzi, the baby of the group, with extravagant gifts. But it’s her on-again, off-again relationship with Usher that continues to fuel tabloid headlines, leaving fans guessing if their love affair is for real or just another headline stunt.

"No matter what the media says I do love my girls." - Veondre Richardson
At 28, Veondre Richardson is the eldest member of Bimbo Dolls, and her age often sets her apart from the rest of the group. While her younger counterparts are known for their provocative music and bold public personas, Veondre’s sound tends to be more toned down, with less of the edgy flair that defines the group. Fans have noticed her absence from many group outings, with the younger members often spotted without her, raising questions about whether she’s simply too mature to keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle of her fellow Bimbo Dolls. In a sea of youth and rebellion, Veondre often seems like the outlier, struggling to find her place in a group that's built on controversy and wild energy. There are also rumors swirling about a secret relationship with rap icon Eminem, though neither have confirmed it

NEWSPAPER OF THE YEAR , 35p
"Uncomfortable Liam Gallagher Seen Standing Close to Blur’s Y/N at BRITs Afterparty, Snaps 'Stop Looking at Me,' as Damon Albarn Jokes: 'I Thought He Liked Being Looked At'"
(3 months later)
Noel shakes his head in repulsion as he follows his younger brother into the main hall, taking a few steps to the side so he doesn't bump into other people:” God, this place is fucking crowded. Can’t we just leave?” Liam, who stops to make room for two giggling actresses scoffs:” This might be the first time you’re saying something that makes sense.” He doesn’t have to look at Noel to know he’s rolling his eyes.
Meanwhile Y/N stands next to Damon and his girlfriend. Her arms are tightly crossed in front of her chest while she leans her head on her best friend's shoulder. Just as she's about to speak, a slight shiver runs down her spine. She instantly lifts her head and blinks a couple of times before spinning around. Her gaze scans the rows until it meets Liam’s. Maybe all the talk about this infamous sixth sense might have some truth to it after all.
However, as if the Gods above were making an effort to shield her from making any sort of mistake the lights are beginning to dim. And before she can open her mouth to say something somebody grabs her upper arms to drag her further away. There’s a particular disappointment forming in the young woman, one that Liam is sensing as well.
During the entire evening, his eyes shift to Y/N every now and then. He moves in his seat as he tries his absolute best to concentrate on the award show at hand, but his mind (just like his gaze) keeps wandering back to her. He simply can’t help himself, it’s almost as if she’s some magnet pulling him (and his sanity) toward her. He almost feels helpless in a way.
“It’s time for ‘Album of the Year’.”, Paris Hilton announces, while slightly leaning forward. Liam wants to win so badly. He truly does. Yet when he looks over at Y/N there’s a certain level of frustration growing within him. He sees the way she’s excitedly speaking to Damon while holding his hand. Fuck the other members, he just wants her to win.
“And the winner is…” Liam holds his breath and places his elbows on his knees. “Blur, with ‘Blur’. That’s so hot!” She purrs into the microphone.
“Fuck this crap.”, Noel lets out and shakes his head as they watch how Blur themselves hug one another.” This has to be rigged.” The audience meanwhile cheers and whistles loudly while the band makes their way up the stairs onto the stage. Liam clenches his teeth. Although he wants to be nonchalant, when he sees her in that short leopard print dress, he can’t help but marvel at how gorgeous she looks. He leans his head back and shuts his eyes in frustration while Damon’s voice fills the room:” Can someone please shut off that damn microphone?!”
“This is so great.”
At the sound of her soft voice Liam instantly opens his eyes again .”No, really. Thank you so much for this! However… I would like to share this one with Oasis.” Her left hand lifts the small statue into the air. Liam can't remember the last time where he had been this speechless, but as he steals a quick glance at his older brother, he realizes that he isn't the only one feeling that way.
“Huge fan, truly. Genuinely believe they’re the best musicians this genre has to offer at this moment…Thanks again.”

PLS DO AN ENEMIES TO LOVERS THEO FF
" FIVE DAYS TO FALL IN LOVE "
Enemies to lovers
Theodore Nott x Y/n Hilton
Notes: Heyyy, I'm sorry about this writing, I tried to write something good but I ended up realizing that I have to work more with Enemies to lovers 🤣 I hope you still like what is written a little, I know I can do better with it, but I didn't want to throw away this work, so that's it, my apologies
Summary: A forced marriage is synonymous with hate, but perhaps one of them started falling in love before
Tumblr media
Blood supremacy in the wizarding high society has always been a striking factor in the wizarding world. If you're a Muggle-born, you end up with nothing; some say their fate is to fade into oblivion. Conversely, if you are part of the blood supremacy, you'll have everything you want or whatever your parents desire. Y/n never agreed with her family's obsession, but she never intervened directly and that's why she claims she ended up where she was now. With firm steps, Y/n descended the stairs of her house with crossed arms and a scowl on her face. The low conversation echoed through the hall, and Miss Hilton's gaze went to the maid standing at the bottom of the stairs and a gentle smile was sent her way, which she kindly returned before speaking.— Your parents are waiting for you in the living room...with guests. The elderly woman informed, and Y/n gently patted her left shoulder.
— Thank's , Lydia.
She thanked her before walking towards the French doors leading to the living room where her parents awaited her future - literally, her future.
— Y/n, there you are! Y/n’s mother said, rising from the couch where she was sitting with her husband and two figures of which Y/n knew very well, Theodore Nott and his father.
— You've arrived just in time to meet your husband, dear. Her father said to her, and with a push from Mr. Nott, Theodore stepped forward and grabbed Hilton's hand, placing a kiss on the back of her hand.
— This is Theodore Nott, Y/n...
Y/n’s father said once more, and blood rushed to Y/n's head as she looked at her father with anger.
— I know who he is, father. It’s not like we didn't study at Hogwarts together. Y/n said harshly, and Mr. Nott's face tightened in confusion, as did Theodore's, who was no longer holding her hand. It had been a year since Y/n and Theodore had graduated, and it was no secret that their parents were desperate to maintain the pure-blood lineage. Both hated being there, but Y/n was more openly resentful about the situation.
— Y/n, where are the manners I taught you? Her mother looked horrified, and a sigh of regret escaped Y/n’s lips.
— I'm sorry, Dad. She apologized.
— It's okay, dear, I understand that the wedding nerves are getting to you. Her father said, and a crooked smile appeared on Y/n’s lips as she looked at her Givenchy boots, feeling nothing but anguish inside. Theodore wasn't an ugly man, quite the opposite; her friends drooled over Nott during school, and Y/n couldn't deny that even she found Theodore Nott attractive. But his reputation was terrible, which made everything worse. Y/n wanted to be with someone she truly loved, not just anyone for the sake of status.
— Perhaps you two should walk through the garden to get to know each other again. Mr. Nott suggested for the first time in that conversation, and all Y/n did was nod without looking anyone in the eye. She saw Theodore extend his arm towards her, which she accepted.
When they were far enough from their parents' eyes, Y/n released Theodore's arm and continued walking beside him without much intention of speaking, unlike Theodore, who was already uncomfortable with the fact that she hadn't looked him in the eyes.— Are you blind or something? The voice loaded with an Italian accent made Y/n stop walking and frown. Turning to face him and looking him in the eyes for the first time since the beginning of the interaction.
— Excuse me?
— You didn't look at me for a second, I thought you couldn’t see, but apparently, it was just ignorance... Theodore said bitterly, and Y/n’s face became more irritated.
— Ignorance? For the Gods, Theodore, the ignorance is yours for accepting this ridiculous marriage idea. The young woman said, rolling her eyes and continuing to walk into her garden.
— It’s not like I wanted this, Y/n. He said a little behind her.
— I know they asked if you agreed, Nott….
Y/n retorted without even looking back.
— How would you know?
— Because they always care about the man's opinion! Now answer me, did you at least have a choice? Y/n turned to face Theodore up close, and her face exuded truth, she could see it.
— It was either a Hufflepuff, Eloise Midgen, Pansy... Parkinson or you.
— You had three choices… I found out about this yesterday. Go to hell, Nott. How could I be ignorant?Y/n's voice was never loud, but she didn't need to shout for Theo to feel the venom spraying at him.
— I didn't want this, Y/n.
— Then stay away from me, Theodore.
Inevitably, staying away from each other wasn't easy until after the wedding. Their parents wanted to see physical contact and closeness between the two; it was important for the wedding guests to know they were happy with each other, even if it was a lie.
A year later, it was already common for both of them: no physical touch, no exchanged conversations, kisses only during sex, and that was their life. Theodore worked at his father's company, which after the wedding, was also associated with the Hilton name. Y/n had not been assigned any role like her mother, and she hated sitting where she was, feeling useless and alone. And that's how she felt at the charity party her parents organized. Theodore was with his friends near the pool, her parents were somewhere inside the house already drunk, and she was alone, occasionally looking at her glass of white wine.
She didn't want to look miserable, but she already was.
— Don't you think you should keep your wife company, Theo? Pansy, who was next to Theodore, asked him, glancing outside the friends' circle to where she had decided to sit.
— She's fine! Theo said, still looking at Y/n.
— She looks really bored, Theo. Daphne interjected into the conversation, and from there, all of Nott's friends were in on it.
— She's always like that, it doesn’t matter. Theo shrugged, trying not to give importance to the situation his friends were giving.
— Man, if you look into her eyes, she's miserably bored, where are her friends? Mattheo said, and Theo looked at Y/n once more until Draco's voice called his attention again.
— I'd be miserable too, imagine waking up every day with this guy next to you. — Horror movie.
—Someone can't make the little princess cum, I think. Draco provoked Theodore, who pushed his friend's arm — Shut up, asshole. I'm sure I do twice as much as you do. The group laughed and briefly forgot about the subject, but not Theodore, he kept his eyes on her all night and wondered why she were so alone.
At the end of the night, Theodore drove back to their house, and the strange air in the car bothered Theo. His left hand left the steering wheel and slid up her thigh, revealed by the dress that had ridden up when she sat down. Despite the warmth of his hand against her skin, Y/n’s gaze, much to Theodore's dismay, did not turn to him. She was quiet, quieter than usual.
— No music? He asked, and she shrugged, briefly glancing at him. Y/n might not talk much to him, but Theodore had gotten used to hearing her hum along to songs during the car rides. — Why didn't your friends come today? Theo's sincere doubt reached Y/n, who just kept looking at her ring-laden hands.
— They're very busy. "They're busy because they don't exist," Y/n thought before sighing tiredly.
— Busy on a Friday night? Theodore asked, confused.
— Your friends seem nice. Y/n said, changing the subject.
— Yeah, they are...
The rest of the car ride was silent, so silent that Theo thought the sound of his eyes alternating between the woman beside him and the road could be heard.
When they arrived, both got out of the car and went separate ways. Y/n went up the stairs so fast it was as if she had apparated, disappearing from Theodore's view. When he went upstairs, the bathroom door opened minutes later, and Y/n emerged from the bath with a towel wrapped around her body.
— Sorry, I didn't know you were up here. Y/n apologized, referring to the towel, and Theodore's face contorted.
— Why? This is my room too.
— I know, I meant about the towel, Theodore. You usually don't sleep here so i thought that i would be alone... She said, and Theo felt a pang of guilt fill his chest, looking now at the naked back of the woman as she sighed, realizing he was leaving her alone in bed more times than he wished.
— I thought you wanted space…. He said, and the silence remained between them.
— Yes, a year ago, you're right. Her whisper was so low that Theo almost didn't hear it, but hearing it, he knew something was wrong.
— What do you mean?
— What do you mean? Y/n asked, taking off the towel from her body and putting on her underwear.
— Why did you say that in that tone? I thought you wanted me away from you. Theodore was more harsh with his words, and Y/n shrugged, glancing at him over her shoulder.
— I don't know, Theodore. Y/n shook her head while putting on her pajamas, thinking she had finished the conversation. Theo held her arm and turned her to look at him.
— Talk to me, Y/n.
— I don't know what you want me to say, Theodore. She exploded, and Theodore laughed without humor.
— What is your problem? He asked, and Y/n freed herself from his grip.
— You are my problem, Theodore Nott.
— No, you are your own problem, you can't seem happy. Even my damn friends noticed your miserable face today. You have EVERYTHING. Theo huffed, and the woman in front of him clenched her jaw in anger
— I'm NOT happy, Theodore. I have NOTHING, I don't have good parents, I don't have friends, I don't have love, I constantly feel alone, and I can't seem happy BECAUSE I'M NOT. So don't come at me with this now, you have everything, not me. Y/n said angrily as tears shimmered in her eyes. — And I heard you're cheating on me with your secretary, which made me feel even more useless.
— What? I didn't cheat on you! — Theodore said desperately. — Y/n! I didn't cheat on you! I would never do that! Theo walked up to her, stopping in front of her side of the bed, where she was about to sit down. — Fuck it, who told you that?
— It doesn't matter…
— Dolcezza, I would never do that to you.
He said, placing his hands on her cheeks, wiping the tears that streamed down with his thumbs.
— You hate me, of course you would. She said weakly, so weakly that Theo almost felt his knees give way. He might not show all his love for her, but he had promised to love and protect her above all else, he had made that promise at the altar and to her father when he chose her, and all he was doing was the opposite of that.
— I don't hate you.
— Yes, you do…
— You don't hate me, how could o hate you? Theo whispered, stroking her cheek.
— You hate me because I hate you.
— Then say you hate me.
— I hate you. She murmured without conviction and sniffed afterwards.
— If you hate me so much, why are you crying for me, mia cara? We have to stop this hate game, you are my real wife, bella. Theo whispered and gently joined his lips to hers in a kiss unlike anything they had ever felt.
— That's not what I wanted, Theo. Another sniffle came from her nose when she pulled away from his lips.
— Don't you want me to kiss you? What did you want, Principessa? Please let me get it right with you once. Theo begged and Y/n closed her eyes trying to control her emotions, and so did she and shook her head in rapid movements. — Y/n, talk to me please.
— My whole life, my friends, my clothes, what I'd eat, were all my parents' choices, and the only thing that would really be mine was also chosen by them, Theo. I have nothing and there's no way you can fix it because you became something of theirs, not mine. — silence settled between them and Y/n replaced the smendel with hers, pushing away the tears streaming down her cheek — Shit, I'm sorry, I didn't want to be complaining to you. You should go to sleep.
She said turning her back on the man who stood behind her watching her take the blankets on the bed made and lie down.
— I can be yours! Y/n, I can be yours. — Theodore said it in a way that Y/n had never heard him say before, it was as if he was afraid that she would disappear forever.
— You don't have do this, Theo... And that was something they both didn't understand, he wanted to do that.
As soon as he sees her, Theo walks to the other side, takes off his clothes, leaving only his underwear and lies down next to Y/n. It had been so long since he lay there that he was amazed at the softness and comfort the bed gave him and once again he felt guilty.
— You don't have to sleep here out of pity, Theodore. Y/n said demonstrating less of her vulnerability as she stared at the ceiling.
— I want to be here, Y/n. Can't you see? — Theodore murmured looking at the woman's profile next to him.
— Theodore?
— Yes?
— Are you sure you didn't do anything with your secretary? Y/n asked and Theo took her hand which was above his belly.
— Look at me, please. He asked and so she did
— Do you know why I chose you? I know nothing was fair in all this, but I need you to know why I chose you.
— Why?
— I remember you in the fifth year, in the astronomy class, you were in a corner with two other girls and they wouldn't shut up and I saw you making a wish for shooting star that passed in the sky, I found it genuine and I started watching you and realized that you were beautiful and very interesting, I realized that you were worth it, I realized that I wanted you…— Theo sighed as if it had become a weight on his back — Pansy was never an option because she is my friend and is in love with Draco, my father would never make me marry some girl that I didn't approve of, you are incomparable to the rest and I saw that it was you when you started to hate me when I stepped in front of you and…
— I never really hated you, Theodore…I just realized that it was easier to hate someone who hadn't hated him yet than whoever caused it. Y/n said.
— Let me fix this. Theo asked pulling Y/n for more and eptonde his body.
— I'll give you five days to fall in love with you, Theodore Nott.
— I'll do whatever you want, Y/n Nott. Theo would burn the world if she asked, and now that he knows he doesn't hate him, he'd do anything to make her fall in love with him

Rise, Sagittarius 🏺
Tumblr media
(Adriana Lima, Sagittarius Ascendant 16°)
In true sagittarian fashion, I decided to spontaneously start writing down this post in honour of the renowned and powerful rising sign: sagittarius.
Tumblr media
(Elizabeth Taylor, Eartha Kitt, Brigitte Bardot)
In my research, I stumbled upon a rather shocking realization: how utterly common this rising sign is among women involved in showbiz and public affairs. I couldn't help but to perceive this mutable fire sign in a more broader light.
Tumblr media
(Catherine Zeta-Jones, Winona Ryder, Anne Hathaway)
Familiar faces in Hollywood would be sharing few signs in common, and for most actresses it Sagittarius on the first house. What intrigues me is that there seems to be no shared physical appeal, they're range from girl-next-doors to bombshell divas. Provided we know the Ascendant rules over our personality foremost, it elevates me to see women with sagittarius asc be commonly known for their bold and audacious nature among their peers.
Tumblr media
(Jessica Chastain, Jodie Foster, Isabelle Huppert)
Award winning lead actresses with a knack for outspoken personas is nothing short of a fire sign woman. They're not mysterious as the scorpio lady, but carry their sex appeal with a bold dominance. Prime definition of independence, regardless of marital status.
Tumblr media
(Jennifer Lawrence 1st decan, Kate Winslet 3rd decan)
They're no less aggressive than an Aries, nor any way lack the leonine boldness. To me, the sagittarius 1H has sealed and embraced for themselves a path of adventure, where they aim to be pioneers of whatever field these women choose to go into.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Vivienne Westwood, Hailey Baldwin Bieber)
For the sagittarius ascendant, their 11th house of gains and community is the venus-ruled libra. From fashion, movies, beauty pageants, activism etc, they make an important figure of themselves in society via such occupations.
Tumblr media
(Summer Walker, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian)
Their 10th house is the oh-so meticulous virgo. Whether they're the critics themselves or recipients, heavy feedback from the public is always directed back to them. I wouldn't override misogyny as the prime problem behind the backlash, but for the sag asc woman she is dealing with a ferocious kind of animosity.
Tumblr media
(Simone de Beauvoir, sag asc 1°)
The words and works of these women have been deemed socially transformative. Their brave demeanor is applauded by their many admirers. I find them more eccentric than the average aquarius even and I believe it's to do with these women the sign as their 3rd house (locomotive, communication).
Tumblr media
(Jhené Aiko, Rosalía, Fka Twigs)
With Aries sitting on their 5th house of self expression, it's no wonder you will mostly find a bold creative genius with this fiery placement. Whether the music is to your taste or not, it can't be denied that these women are progressing with their art to a rapid extent.
Tumblr media
(Jada Pinkett-Smith, Lady Diana, Evan Rachel Wood)
A troubling topic to get into but it's sadly observed how most of these women don't experience healthy marriages. Very common it is for sag asc women to face disturbances in their commitments. They're no strangers to instability nor infidelity.
Tumblr media
(Scarlett Johansson, sag asc 1°)
Underestimating the Sagittarian fire is foolish I say.
~ all the examples I've shown here are of women whose birth times have A+ rodden rating on the astro databank.

Inside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Infamous White Parties
The rapper's White Parties gained a legendary reputation in the '90s and '00s...
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 54, was arrested on 16 September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors alleged that he also engaged in kidnapping, forced labour, bribery and other crimes, which he has pleaded not guilty to. It comes after a string of allegations of gang rape, sexual assault and other accusations over the past 12 months, which Combs has denied.
His annual white parties, with their star-studded guest lists and extravagance, became legendary amongst Hollywood circles over two decades. Anyone who was anyone would be invited – you knew that you had made it if you secured one of those coveted 1,000 invites, which would be your golden ticket into these elite circles.
The era-defining white parties were lavish affairs. All guests had to abide by a strict head-to-toe white dress code, with the bash set in all-white surroundings. ‘I wanted to strip away everyone’s image and put us all in the same colour, and on the same level,’ Combs told Oprah Winfrey in 2006.
The tradition started in 1998 when Combs generously decided to show off his new Hamptons home by inviting more than 200 glitterati to a barbeque. He wanted to integrate the world of rap and hip-hop into the echelons of the mega-rich. ‘I had the craziest mix [of guests]: some of my boys from Harlem, Leonardo DiCaprio after he’d just finished Titanic. I had socialites there and relatives from down south. There were 200 people sitting out here, just having a down-home cookout,’ he said of that inaugural party.
That initial do led to Combs being described as ‘a modern-day Gatsby’. He relished the comparison to F Scott Fitzgerald’s character who threw extravagant parties to impress his wealthy neighbours, boasting, ‘I am the Great Gatsby.’
The guestlist of Combs’ white parties read like a who’s who of the ‘90s and ‘00s. An invite meant you were someone worth knowing and cemented your A-list status, across entertainment, business, finance, fashion and technology. Movie stars mingled with singers, socialites and entrepreneurs, with frequent guests including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, Mariah Carey, the Kardashians and Paris and Nicky Hilton.
Jennifer Lopez, who dated Combs from 1999 to 2001, attended some parties too.
There is no indication that the celebrity guests at Combs’ white parties were involved in any wrongdoing.
Former music industry insider Tom Swoope has claimed that the parties were separated into ‘tiers’ of access, with ‘general admission’ and an ‘inner sanctum’ where drugs and sex were reportedly available.
What happened at the white parties?
Champagne was freely available, with guests served ‘champagne from heaven’ by models dressed as angels.
Photos show Combs pouring Veuve Clicquot champagne over two topless women at the 1998 party while two half-naked women were pictured cavorting in the swimming pool and then pouring champagne into the open mouth of a male guest at the 2008 party. Another image showed two topless women straddling someone in the pool.
Combs himself had even told Entertainment Tonight that he felt one day he would be arrested for his 'crazy parties'.
Another term used to describe Combs' events is 'freak off' or 'freak out' parties. When Combs' house was searched by Homeland Security in March, they seized 1,000 bottles of lubricant and baby oil which were allegedly used at his 'freak off' parties.
Prosecutors claimed that during the 'freak offs,' Combs would allegedly sedate women and men and force them into sex acts. The parties were described as 'elaborate and produced sex performances,' in which Combs allegedly booked hotel suites and hired sex workers while distributing drugs including cocaine, methamphetamine and oxycodone to keep partygoers 'obedient'. Afterwards, his staff would allegedly arrange for travel and IV supplies to help those involved recover.

Dhruva as Dhanishtha: The First Fortune is a Red Herring
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To me, it seems Dhanishtha is simultaneously over-hyped and under-valued... It's generally diluted to the fame, wealth, fortune, etc. it's associated with, as if it has no depth and no meaning beyond that. It's associated with the Ashta Vasus for a reason! The life of Dhruva is a good example. It is not necessarily work or labor that brings bounty to Dhruva, but his reclaiming renunciation after experiencing scorn and neglect, at a very young age. His humility as a boy, in sacrificing his birthright for the sake of determining his purpose, and his prostration to the divine after his being denied love and status, these qualities are what leads to his being crowned king as a child, yes, but that's not the actual point of the story. His true reward is being gifted with intrinsic knowledge of/the voice to sing the hymns of Vishnu, and to reach Druvapada, becoming one with the cosmos, out of reach of true destruction even at its most powerful.
Obviously, this is a story about an unusually holy figure, the brightest and healthiest form of Dhanishtha, so we don't expect all natives to reach these spiritual heights, but putting aside the ending for a moment, to look at the beginning and middle, we see depth rarely mentioned when looking into Dhanishtha.
Dhruva is born into privilege, but explicitly made to understand that he is unworthy of this privilege. Thus, he has to retreat from the source of his privilege, he has to fast, he has to devote himself to something higher than his desire for love, comfort, security. Only after giving up, disowning the fortune of a prince, does Vishnu offer him the true, great fortune of the holy figure elevated and eventually deified, a boy-king and a god.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This speaks to a theme I've seen repeatedly in Dhanishtha natives. Princess Diana was born into a nobility which afforded her the role of wife and mother to future kings, but she had to forgo that role, the security of it, to become the woman sanctified in popular culture to this day. The problem with those lost famous Dhanishtha figures like Diana and Marilyn Monroe and Yoko Ono — and this is particularly true for women — is when their fame or hunger for fame becomes so intense that they no longer have the option of withdrawing, of renunciation. Who with Dhanishtha placements had this result? Well, Princess Diana, Marilyn Monroe, Yoko Ono... and Bob Marley, Sharon Tate, James Dean, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Bieber, Kristen Stewart, Mary Queen of Scots, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Ariana Grande, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jimi Hendrix, Aaliyah, Shia LaBeouf... all of these figures had Dhanishtha placements, and have had their lives, reputations, and properties over-publicized. (This is not a comment on whether any of the listed figures are good or bad people, btw.)
This isn't to say that Dhanishtha is more tragic than another nakshatra, but that an underexplored aspect of Dhanishtha is the need for absense, rest periods, and periodic fasting, whether literal or metaphorical. The sense of rhythm that Dhanishtha is famous for, it isn't just about knowing when to hit, it's about knowing when and how long to wait before you do. That's what rhythm is — not just the beats themselves, but the spaces in between. That's why the happiest and most consistently successful Dhanishtha natives are the ones who don't allow the pressure of the public, those around them, or duties that are attached to supposed fortunes they've received, to overload their plate until they're hitting out of sync, or simply have to stop all together. Whether fast or slow, these natives need discipline in setting and keeping pace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The depth to Dhanishtha is that, as with all Dharma-motivated nakshatras, its natives yearn for purpose and meaning — but on a distinctly cosmic scale. They're told and feel that they've been blessed, but to what end? They spend their whole lives trying to figure it out, because it simply isn't enough to have potential, they also have to use it to whatever end makes them matter. It depends on their other placements how this internal struggle manifests, but throughout their lives, yearning for significance permeates everything they feel and do.
And this yearning can propell them to ignore their greatest asset: their sense of timing.
Underdeveloped Dhanishtha natives will use their blessing however they are told to, in the form that's convenient to those around them. They never leave the palace; they stay prince forever, and thus never grow enough to even be a particularly good prince. Natives who do develop somewhat will leave the palace, but they may return after an insufficient amount of time, expecting that their experience of fasting, of loss or struggle, in and of itself, will be enough to enlighten them. Dhanishtha at its truest and most enlightened form will not only fast until they understand hunger, not only fast until they can SEE 'god' — they will fast until they MEET 'god', until Vishnu returns their voice to them, and reserves a place for them in the heavens.
