Random Mini Astrology Observations: Vedic Edition

Warning: This is just a string of random thoughts lol, don't compare it to my best work on here. It's a bunch of stuff I've had in my drafts and I'm trying to clear it all out

Before I get into this, I just want to say, that whether my observations are positive or negative, it won't apply to every individual who has these placements. 8 billion people exist on this planet, and not everyone will exhibit the same good or bad qualities. I hate having to put this PSA because some people don't get it but yeah "not all Lunars/Venusians/Nodals/Solars/Jup/Sat are going to be the same".

Jupiter influenced men are known for being introverted cutie pies who kinda have that mature-dilf-y vibe.

Obviously, another category of Jupiter men are often loud, extroverted and very outgoing but I've noticed these placements heavilyyyy in celebrities "known" for being private and introverted. They are also often known for being generous and kind hearted.

Prabhas, Vishaka Stellium (Moon, Mercury and Venus)

He is known as "darling star" and brings food that he has prepared at home for everyone on set (he is an actor). He is known for being very shy and introverted but also super sweet, generous and kind.

Sidharth Malhotra, Vishaka Moon

Sid is known for being extremely lowkey which is RARE for a Bollywood actor. He's also quite gentlemanly and charitable

Ratan Tata, Vishaka Moon

He is an Indian billionaire entrepreneur who lives in a small 2bhk apartment and has donated most of his personal wealth to charity. He is known for having led his company in a very humane way (there are lots of controversies and im aware of them but compared to the work culture and quality of life that most other indian companies offer its employees, TATA is in a different league).

Keanu Reeves, Punarvasu Moon (and stellium)

i dont have to explain but Keanu is the king of kindness and generosity

Mads Mikkelsen, Vishaka Moon

unlike his characters, Mads is actually a sweet guy and very private

Adam Driver- Vishaka Sun

he's so private that nobody even knows he's married with a kid

Tom Hanks, Punarvasu Sun

known for being a gentleman and quite modest. the OG nice guy and obviously very private

Ethan Hawke, Vishaka Sun

another lowkey, private guy who is known for being nice

2. Rashmika Mandanna and Surbhi Jyoti, Swati Moon

I find their eye area to be kinda similar?? I know they don't look alike but there are some overarching similarities between them and I think its bc they have the same moon nak.

3. I came across a comment that Akshay Kumar made about Asin and her CEO husband Rahul Sharma.

“He is madly in love with his wife, his child. It’s like he treats her like a goddess.

and guess what?? Rahul is a Purvashadha Sun 🥺😌😌

4. Ashwini natives often have post-apocalyptic dreams

Since its the first nak and is ruled by Ketu and is in complete darkness, symbolically representing the stage before creation (which happens in Bharani), the subconscious mind is susceptible to having really strange, fcked up, war-like dreams/visions. Also bc Aries rashi is ruled by Mars, God of War.

5. every Venusian man I know kinda has a voice kink

6. Many Punarvasus crave for a simple, rustic, relaxed type of life. In fact many famous Punarvasus live on a farm

Kaley Cuoco- Punarvasu Moon

Bretman Rock - Punarvasu Sun

MS Dhoni- Punarvasu Sun

Dennis Quaid, Punarvasu Moon on his ranch

7. Jupiter and Venus are 'Brahmins' or priestly, the Sun and Mars are 'Kshatriyas' or warriors, the Moon is 'Vaishya', or a trader, Mercury is a 'Vaisya', Saturn 'Shudra', or a lower caste and Rahu and Ketu are outcastes.

This is not an observation but just an astrological fact that I thought I'd mention

8. Magha girls are often the spoilt daughters or come from very bougie families where they're the princesses. They might emotionally suffer but materially and otherwise, they're very comfortable

Shruti Hassan- Magha Moon

she has spoken about how rough her childhood was bc of her parents' tumultuous marriage and subsequent divorce but that doesn't change the fact that she's the daughter of Kamal Hassan, one of the biggest stars in the history of Indian cinema

Kiara Advani- Magha Moon

Kiara is from a very wealthy and illustrious family, and she grew up as a much loved, spoilt ish daughter<3

Wonyoung- Magha Sun

Wonyoung is from a filthy rich family and she has said that she grew up very pampered. And that she didn't have an allowance bc whatever she asked for she got. However she became a trainee at 12yrs of age and that journey could not have been easy. Despite being born rich, she's had to go through a lot in life to be where she is today

Aditi Rao Hydari- Magha Moon

she's of actual royal lineage so she's a real life princess but her parents divorced when she was a kid and she grew up with a single mom in delhi and not in a palace

9. DMX- Mula Sun (dog yoni) was obsessed with dogs

The late rapper DMX's relationship with dogs, which seems almost mythical. He was born in 1970 - the year of the Metal Dog, and in his teens he ran away from his abusive household and befriended stray dogs while vulnerable on the streets. He began to gather dogs for protection, intimidation and family, and was sent to prison for stealing a dog (a neglected dog chained up in a scrapyard). In prison, he wrote a lot of his early songs, in which he came up with his "dog" mythology, in which he imagines himself as a monstrous dog-themed gangster who barks and howls. He had a huge tattoo of his favourite dog Boomer on his back. In 2008, his 12 dogs were taken from him by cops after there were reports of animal cruelty - DMX had paid a negligent caretaker to look after the dogs while he was on tour. (The dogs lived out the rest of their lives as therapy animals in a women's prison)

I think its interesting how our yoni animal influences our life

10. As Vighati graha, male planets are: Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Rahu; female planets are: Moon, Venus, Ketu whilst two eunuch planets are Mercury and Saturn. All the standard rules for determination of the sex of the child are applicable, female signs are: Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius; male signs are: Aries, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces. Exalted planets indicate male issue and debilitated planets indicate female.

11. Mercurial men and Jupiter men are soooo flamboyant, sassy and gender non-conforming

RuPaul- Vishaka Sun & Moon

Elton John- Jyeshta Rising

Jeff Goldblum- Jyeshta Moon

Prince- Vishaka Rising

Jimi Hendrix- Mars in Vishaka atmakaraka

[blouisparadise]

Here are some amazing bottom Louis fics that were posted or completed during the month of June. We really hope you enjoy this list. Happy reading!

1) All This Time | Teen & Up | 1046 words

Louis Tomlinson had been best friends with flower shop owner Gemma Styles for years. It wasn't until she suggested he date her alpha brother that he ever thought of Harry that way. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea...

2) On The Borderline Tonight | Mature | 1470 words

Note: The main pairing is Louis/Ethan Hawke.

Louis is an artist in need of inspiration. He finds it one sunny afternoon in a Brooklyn coffee shop.

3) Everything Is So Fine, Little Bit Of Sunshine | Not Rated | 2,009 words

Fluffy PWP of catboy Louis and his boyfriend Harry.

4) Soulmated | Mature | 2046 words

Niall forces Louis on a date. Ends differently than both of them expected.

5) Beauty And The Beast | Explicit | 2216 words

A virginal Louis is ���sacrificed’ to the Beast to ensure the safety of his village. Dressed in ceremonial attire, Louis is locked in the stocks at nightfall and offered up to the Beast.

6) Darling, Just Hold On | Explicit | 2481 words

“I’m actually dying for a piss, but I don’t really know what to do about that. Here’s COACOAC.”

7) Thank You Five! | Explicit | 2719 words

It’s fifteen minutes to the start of Harry’s set and he is nowhere to be seen, much to the stress of everyone else……it might be that he is a little busy with a certain blue-eyed Doncaster lad.

8) Obey Your Alpha | Explicit | 3413 words

Harry and Louis are mated, but Simon isn't happy about it. He ends up separating them from each other. All is good though.

9) Don't You Know That I Am Right Here? | Mature | 4314 words

Louis is proud to be an Omega but his journey hasn’t been exactly easy so far. There’s nothing technically “wrong” with him, or so his doctor likes to remind him when he goes to see him every year since he was 15. His situation is more unusual than a medical problem, but it doesn’t mean most alphas will see it that way. When yet another inconvenient heat threatens to disturb his grad school move-out date, he sets a plan in motion. Enter best friend and gentle alpha Harry Styles.

10) I Can't Get You Off My Mind (I Still Crave It) | Mature | 4519 words

"You're an idiot," It was Lya's time to interrupt. "Why would you want another guy when you already have yours? Don't you ever get tired of those silly games?" "It is different!," Louis defended himself again, mouth open. "How come it is different?," Lya asked again. "I love Harry," it was easy like breathing. "He's the love of my life, I'm going to marry him," Louis looked around, until his eyes looked with Harry's, glossy and vibrant. "That guy was just a hook."

11) The Way to My Heart | Teen & Up | 6516 words

Louis' having a bit of a dry spell, until he bumps into an attractive alpha in the supermarket and leaves with his number. It was a hard bump. Very... muscular. The only problem is, said alpha asks Louis to cook for him - which is not exactly his skill set.

12) New Alpha | Mature | 6841 words

Request: Can you do omega Louis goes into heat and Harry finds him. They mate and Louis get's pregnant. But with more story behind it. Thanks (I know it's standard. But I really love werewolf stories.)

13) Rock My World | Mature | 14238 words

Harry threw the burly guy off the hot, clueless man in seconds. Harry turned his back to the pit of rowdy men and planted his feet to keep them steady. “Are you okay, kid?” The man he saved was even more beautiful than Harry expected. His tiny, elfish nose crinkled at the pet-name. The black lines around his eyes made his blue eyes even more striking. His cheekbones were prominent, making his overall frame even more small. “My name is Louis and I’m fine. Get off me, perve!” Harry hadn’t realized he’d kept his free hand against the small of his back or that it kept the man pressed directly his chest. Harry hated releasing him even in the slightest; Louis was much safer here. “Can you not see I’m security? That it’s my job to save idiots like you?” “Idiot?” Louis shouted to be heard over the man currently screaming his head off into the microphone. “Well, I’m sorry for being small, you dick! Not my fault they slammed into me!”

14) One Day I'll Come Into Your World And Get It Right (A Relaxing Afternoon.... Or Is It?) | Explicit | 14652 words

Zayn treated Louis to an afternoon massage with his friend Harry. They meant well. But Louis was sensitive, and Harry found him too much for his taste and... They're going to send Zayn a fruit basket.

15) What's Left Of My Halo's Black | Explicit | 22464 words As Harry sucks lovebites into Louis’ neck, Louis hopes that one day those marks will cover the way he can still feel Alex’s handprints burned into his flesh. As Harry’s nails drag scratches along Louis’ back, Louis hopes that one day the scabs on his heart will heal and drop away just like the scabs on his skin. As Harry fucks him down into the mattress, the bed shaking with every thrust, Louis hopes that one day his mouth will forget the shape of Alex’s name, won’t trace it over and over as the heat builds inside him, won’t want to scream it when he comes. Maybe one day he’ll open his eyes, as he slowly floats down from his post-orgasm haze, and won’t expect to see Alex’s face smiling back at him. But today is not that day.

16) True Blue | Explicit | 23409 words

Louis has always prided himself on making plans. His freshman year of high school he’d spent the entire night color-coding a five-year plan to get him to the exact career that he’s in today. When his parents wouldn’t let him and Zayn see the midnight premiere of the final Harry Potter, he’d crafted an intricate slideshow mapping out each outcome that his parents were worried about and countering every argument they’d tried to give. Just last week he’d sat down with Harry and forced him to listen to his ten-step process for them to secure the front row at their favorite artist’s show. It’s with this experience under his belt that he starts to devise another plan. One to start pulling his weight and also to prove to Harry and everyone that he is very much capable of fending for himself, thank you very much.

17) Hope Your Life Leads You Back To My Door | Explicit | 56709 words

“What’s the matter?” Louis asked quickly, eyes wide in alarm. “I’ve never done this before. I’ve never gone anywhere alone like this,” Harry whispered, his voice shaky. Louis didn’t look surprised, but there was something really fiery about him as he spoke again. “Then come now,” he insisted with a grin. “Just trust me. Get on this train with me and I promise you’ll have so much fun.” Louis Tomlinson wasn’t ever someone Harry thought he’d trust or look to with such open admiration for having the spirit to do things like this, but suddenly, he did. He trusted him and he wanted this. He was going to do it.

18) Where I Burn To Be | Explicit | 143346 words

There were very few people who managed to get under Louis’ skin as effortlessly as Harry had, and even fewer who had done it in only a day and a half. It was quite an accomplishment, really. They’d only interacted a handful of times and yet Louis had the insatiable desire to slam the locker into that frustratingly well-defined face that never seemed to hold any expressions other than contempt and arrogance. “That’s right. I do own the skies. And you wanna know why?” he sneered. Without his boots on, Louis was a fair bit shorter than Harry, his eyes pretty much level with Harry’s chin and his socked toes bumping into the boots of the other man, close enough that Louis could make out the tiny scar on Harry’s brow and the individual shades of emerald in his irises. He was handsome, but that only made Louis hate him more. Heart thumping heavily against his sternum and his hands balled into fists, Louis lifted his chin defiantly and plastered a coldhearted smirk across his lips. “Because I’m the best goddamn pilot here.”

Okay so like it's probably just me but like...

(↑↑Ethan Hawke as Albert Shaw/The Grabber in 2022 The Black Phone↑↑)

(↑↑Ray Liotta as Syd White in 2023 Cocaine Bear↑↑)

Tell me it's not just me!

Objectively their both terrible men, one more so than the other (Obviously), but COME on!!!!!

They look so so damn fine, and yeah I hate myself for it, but that's not gonna stop me okay.

I've already got fantasies playing out in my head involving these two. (Because I'm a sucker for off the wall crossovers) And I'm probably gonna be subjecting y'all to it sooner or later.

If not imagines or fics together than definitely separate. Do I have daddy issues? Yeah apparently I do. FIGHT ME OKAY!?!?!

(Also I've got such a weakness for the 80s, like genuine 80s stuff not that neon bullshit okay. And men from the 80s tend to be so so fine to me, even with the haircuts and clothes that are kinda terrible. There's just something about it that draws me in like a moth to a flame. These two ain't no different dammit!)

Okay I got that out of my system... Look out for new content you didn't ask for soon! 😅

[iressails]

hi there!!! I’m your content creator secret santa 🤫🎄 how are you?? do you have anything you’re looking forward to this (holiday) season?

I’ve checked out your blog to see what kinds of things you enjoy, but I’d love to hear from you directly 😊

what are some of your favorite shows and movies? who are your favorite characters? ships? do you have any particularly favored music artists lately? maybe specific songs? maybe you even have some favorite books you’d like to share! what about favorite colors?

is there anything you absolutely DON’T want? lol just in case 😅

I hope you have a great rest of your week!

HII!!! I have been preparing for this question for a couple of days and right now immediately I've forgotten everything I know and like, and have ever liked.

[Pause to review my blog and get my thoughts in order]

i love red, green and orange. all the traffic lights baby!

Im looking forward to the holidays it's been... a year.

My ship (just the one rn *sob): I'm currently in Homicide: Life on the Street (1993 - 2000) hell. I love Frank Pembleton and Tim Bayliss with my whole heart, but a 30 year old show and 65 year old men are a bit of a hard ask even from a kind Santa. Bayliss was my first canon bi character on TV and I've not been right since.

Update: Earlier in the year I was heavily into Joanne Davidson/Kate Fleming from Line of Duty (2012 - 2021) until I was gratified by this fic: Bleed into me by Authorette and somehow never thought of it again.

(Yeah not sure about the non-canon (but one half queer in canon) unhappy ending cop duos being my shipping highlight of the year)

Movies: I love Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001), Pride (2014), Barber (2023), Gattaca (1997), Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997), Trust (1990)

Shows: Bob and Rose (2001), Homicide ..(ahahaha) Trust me (2017), Borderliner / Grenseland (2017)

People: I think Rebecca Ferguson, Raul Esparza, Hunter Schaefer, Lesley Sharp, Ethan Hawke, Carla Gugino, Laura Main, Brain Molko, Emma D'Arcy, Vanessa Kirby, Katie McGrath, Caity Lotz, Toby Stephens, Adrienne Shelly, Alexander Skarsgard, Patricia Arquette, Emerald Fennell and David Harbour are just so pretty

Characters: Omar Little (The Wire 2002 - 2008), Catherine Cawood (Happy Valley 2014 - 2023), Christine Chapel (Star Trek Strange new Worlds 2022), Alex Vause (Orange is the new black 2013 - 2019), Nomi Marks (Sense8 2015 - 2017), Joan Holloway/Harris (Mad Men 2007 - 2015), and Deran Cody (Animal Kingdom 2016 - 2022), Charles (Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Carrie Mathison (Homeland 2011 - 2020), Patsy Mount (Call the Midwife)

As for hates... I dont like too many fancy fonts on gifs, or double exposures that make people look like they have two heads (I'm guilty of this, yes, yes). Not big on the music. My spotify wrapped this year was where I was reminded that I had just listened to Alanis Morissette, The Crystal Method, Bright Eyes and Placebo and things-to-run-to as I always do. Every year. It is an utter wasteland.

Thank you in advance I'm sure whatever you make will be wonderful. I love this exchange so much. Both ways giving and receiving.

[the-invisible-queer]

what did turn you off of Marvel?

MoonKnight took me way too long to get through. And it's not even because his abusive mom triggered me. I just wasn't vibing. Which sucks because I love Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke. It should have been a quick binge and a show I watched multiple times.

Multiverse of Madness I've watched 3 times now and everytime it makes me more angry with what they did with Wanda. Like YES she is a villain in the comics. Yes I support this plot for her. But I fucking HATE how it's executed in the fucking MCU.

Hawkeye was another MCU show that was hard for me to watch and get through. I love the characters. Did not like the show.

The whole thing with opening the multiverse I haven't been enjoying.

The last Ant-Man movie almost brought me back because I liked it. But that's the only thing since Loki that I've seen and enjoyed.

Also as a big X-Men fan I am not confident in the MCU's ability to do those characters justice.

I'm just not having fun anymore. I don't like that I have to watch every single piece of media they release to understand what the fuck is going on.

Which sucks because it was my comfort franchise for 13 years. I have 250+ pages of a mostly plotted 3-page fic that I've now lost all motivation to complete.

THE WORST PART is my interest dropped right before She-Hulk so I don't even get to enjoy the badass women getting their time FINALLY in the MCU.

There's too much to keep track of. I'm exhausted.

IM NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN THE FUCKING DEADPOOL MOVIE WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE DEADPOOL

Not even looking forward to Thunderbolts or Cap 4 even though Bucky and Sam are my BOYS!

I'm just done.

[scary-movies-on-netflix]

LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND (2023)

This movie starts with Julia Roberts packing up for an impromptu vacation to Long Island.  She looks at her husband, Ethan Hawke, and says, “I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE.”

The couple take their older teenage son and younger teenage daughter to the beach.  The daughter is trying to finish up the series “Friends,” but the cell phone signal is weak.  They’ve rented a nice house – not quite a mansion but still big and swanky, and they head out to the beach.  Except, a giant oil tanker runs aground on the shore!  They return home, where they find that they have no cell phone signal, and the internet is out, as well as the cable TV.  Uh oh!

That night, Mahershala Ali shows up at the door with his own daughter.  He says that he’s the actual owner of the house, there’s a blackout in New York City, and he’s returned home.  Naturlich, Julia Roberts is suspicious, but Ethan Hawke convinces her to let them stay in the basement bedroom.  As everyone goes back to bed, we get some hints that Mahershala Ali isn’t being quite upfront with the other family.

The next morning Julia Robert’s daughter wakes up early and sees a bunch of deer in the backyard.  Julia Roberts sees some news flashes on her phone about blackouts and hacking and the like.  Ethan Hawke attempts to drive into town to find more information, but he avoids picking up a Spanish-speaking woman and is then chased down by a drone dropping red pamphlets on him.  Julia Robert’s two kids go explore a shed and the boy teases the girl.  Mahershala Ali goes to check up on a neighbor and discovers that airplanes have been crashing onto the beach behind the house!  Shit!  ALSO, there is a huge piercing noise in the sky that hurts everyone’s heads.  Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke attempt to drive to New Jersey, but the roads are blocked by hordes of hordes of self-driving Teslas, so they return to Mahershala Ali’s house.  That evening everyone is chilling out.  Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali share a dance that was so bad I had to fast-forward to avoid the cringe.  Luckily, that’s interrupted by another huge piercing noise.  Yes, there’s a lot happening.  This is quite “The Happening” (2008), except maybe a little better.

The next morning Julia Robert’s son’s teeth fall out, and he looks like shit.  Julia Robert’s daughter is missing.  Mahershala Ali and Ethan Hawke decide to drive over to a neighbor because he might have some medicine, or something.  Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali’s daughter go looking for Julia Robert’s daughter, and they yell at each other bit, before they are interrupted by a giant herd of deer.  The deer stare ominously at them, but they run off after the women yell at them.  They then see, in the distance, NYC being bombed.  Meanwhile, the men go visit Kevin Bacon, who tries to shove them off at gunpoint because he has to “take care of his own family.”  He posits that the noise in the sky is some kind of weapon, such as the one that was used to “attack” United States embassy staff in Cuba (but which really didn’t happen), and he points a gun at Mahershala Ali and Ethan Hawke and tells them to leave.   But, Kevin Bacon is still a liberal softie at heart because, in exchange for some money, he eventually gives over some medication.  Mahershala Ali then sits in his car and exposits to Ethan Hawke about nefarious plans to destroy America.

Finally, we follow Julia Robert’s daughter, who loves 90s TV and just wants to watch the fucking finale of “Friends.”  She wanders into a neighboring house and discovers a well-stocked doomsday bunker, which also has a collection of DVDs, including “Friends!”  (There’s also a screen showing news reports about the White House being attacked by rogue military elements.  Shit!)  The girl pops in a disc and we see her happy face glowing in the TV light.  The end.

So, I see that a lot of people complained about the “ambiguous” ending, but I don’t understand that at all.  I mean, the girl obviously found a doomsday bunker with food and electricity, and we know that Julia Roberts knows that she’s in the house somewhere.  The two families are going to bunk up there and be…ok, if not fine.  Who’s attacking the United States?  Does America deserve it?  (Probably, yes.)  Will the families survive and thrive?  (Probably, no, not entirely.)  Does it matter?  Not really.  This is just one story happening at that instant in time.  There are billions of stories with no resolution.  What happened to Mahershala Ali’s wife?  This is just life.  You’re going to walk down the street and pass by people with their own stories.  You’re never going to know how all those stories end, and that’s ok.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.  This fits into the genre of apocalyptic, the-world-is-ending movies, such as “The Happening” (2008), “Into the Forest” (2015), and maybe even “The Road” (2009).  The cinematography here was interesting, with some cool shots, such as an image of the earth as looking from the moon and the little American flag that some astronauts left a long time ago.  It didn’t fit into the story, except maybe to highlight the well-deserved doom of America, but I appreciated the effort.  The acting is fine.  I mean it’s Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali.  Overall, the movie just isn’t bleak enough for me.  Maybe if we could revisit the characters in a few years, we’d see how far they would really go to protect themselves.

[flowersovevil]

leave the world behind was an amazing movie. I also fucking loved the ending, although my initial knee jerk reaction was to hate it. I don’t know another way he could have ended it without it being corny or underwhelming. I felt like the rug was pulled out from under me, but in a way that made me smile. what happened next was Definitely ambiguous, but I think the entire family made it to the shelter. The mother and Ruth were right outside the shelter, and the men were on their way in the last scene we see them in. But my biggest clue (and maybe I’m just a sick fuck but so is Sam esmail) is that we saw the brother lusting over Ruth, Ruth and Ethan hawkes character in a weird frisson moment, and the mom and GW almost kissing .., I think this was all to foreshadow the relationships they will have with one another in the future in the bunker after almost everyone else has died.

Is Ethan Hawke a big guy? I was watching the black phone And he looked huge. But I don’t know If that’s just due to the camera because I seen him in other films He doesn’t look that big of a guy but I could be wrong.

From a quick Google search, he appears to be 5”10. So tall to shrimps like me, but not super tall by average standards (I’m also surrounded by tall friends 6” and over, so I may have skewed views of “tall”).

He definitely has bulky arms from what I can tell, but otherwise I’m not sure? He’s not like…a body-builder, but he does seem oddly thicker and bigger overall in TBP than his other films. Which…kudos 👌🏻

No hate to them, but really thin or super muscular guys with six-packs don’t do much for me. It’s like hugging…a very uncomfortable tree?? I’m sure there’s a better comparison out there, but again…my sleep cycle is fucked all to hell. Not to say I can’t like a guy of that build, but it’s not generally my preference.

But anyway, I think some squish is cute!! Something to smoosh into. And I haaaate that films make men literally dehydrate themselves to look ripped in movies. That’s just…straight-up abuse to me.

Hey, look at me completely derailing into a rant about men’s societal ideals and pressures 😂 Whoops!

[mrawkweird]

Multiverse of Madness to me might be the most weirdest and strangest movie that’s ever been attached to the MCU and I love it for that.

First off let me start by saying that if you’re going into this film with the mindset of solely expecting to see Doctor Cameo In The Multiverse Of Fangasms you’re already setting yourself up for disappointment.

When you’re titled Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness you better be like something this universe has never seen before. Everything was just on a whole other level with the direction and soundtrack to match and they couldn’t have done any better than to reunite the dream team of Raimi and Elfman to pull that off. Also, this feels more like a Raimiverse movie than it does an MCU movie to me and that’s exactly the shit I was looking for since Day 1.

A lot of times the MCU likes to say they’re gonna do something different, something that isn’t typical MCU only to more often than not immediately proceed to give you typical MCU these days. Moon Knight came in capping incredibly hard only to turn around and give you yet another standard MCU property. So much talk of a “grittier direction”, “Egyptian representation” and “Egypt like it’s never been seen before” and yet it was business as usual with an Egypt I’ve seen many other times before. And don’t even get me started on the promise of “Netflix level violence” but even so people love what they get and still want to talk crazy about properties such as Falcon And Winter Soldier. Ethan Hawke is still rad tho.

Honestly it’s this whole McDonaldization thing where the people have grown accustomed to only having a particular flavor and then want to act different when they taste something new but that’s a story for another day.

Unlike the past hyperbolic statements, however, Multiverse of Madness was something that genuinely felt different. It felt like their most ambitious project and it had nothing to do with cast size or cameos but more so the story they wanted to tell and how they chose to tell it and I respect that. I’m going to absolutely make it my business to own this once the blu-ray drops.

Also, big time Becks SPOILERS..

The shit I couldn’t stand with WandaVision and why I didn’t fuck with it is how Wanda did all this fucked shit only for the show and the characters within the show constantly going out of their way to tell you that you shouldn’t be mad at Wanda. I appreciate that all that shit actually came to a head this time around. The movie said “If you want to act like a villain so bad then guess what? You’re the fucking villain of this story. “Grief is the villain” my ass”.

Yes; she has a reason for acting the way she does but fuck all that “Poor Wanda” bullshit her fans want to solely perpetuate. Scarlet Witch is the big bad of this film and she absolutely killed it both literally and figuratively. All I ever asked was that they own that shit and they actually did. It’s not about hating the character, it’s about hating the forced perception of said character. From the series and from the fandom. This film did what it needed to do and now I’m actually curious to see what happens with her from here.

Make no mistake, however, I’m still gonna fight her for what she did to Captain Carter.

Also, it seems like they really are fucking serious about making that 90′s animated X-Men series live action canon. My heart cried when Xavier quoted Days Of Future Past him though. Like, all Professor X universes just converging into one.

AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE FUCKING NOTE FIGHTING.

With my sister and my bestfriend

3. how many times have you watched it?

Neil’s father. Do i need to say more?

“I want to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life”

7. in what ways has the movie inspire you?(learn a language, read more, try make ur life more exciting, etc)

To get better (mental and physical health), to romanticize school work so i find it exciting, to make my life more worth living even through my darkest moments, to go back to reading and living through those stories.

8. did the movie make you cry at all?

First time i saw it, i cried like a newborn when i noticed what neil was going to do, all the way to the scene where Mr. Keating leaves the school. Afterwards I started tearing up anytime I saw Neil.

9. favorite actor(s) from dead poets society?

Ethan Hawke (Todd Anderson)

Life is worth living

11. have you copied any phrases, mannerisms, personality traits from the movie?

….dead poets society has been part of my personality for years

12. have you ever had a teacher like mr. keating?

No not like him, but that reminded me of him. He showed me that it didn’t matter if i was bisexual or gay, and that if i wanted something, let all that stand in my way burn. He was gay, and ANGRY at the world.

13. have you ever had friends that are the same way as neil, todd, cameron, etc?

My best friend, Liz. We stay up at night rambling about mythology, books and movies. We support each other through everything and she feels like home when everything feels like it's falling apart.

17. do you blame mr. perry or mr. keating for neil?

Mr. Perry 100%. He didn't support Neil and suffocated him. Mr. Keating only told him to follow his dreams.

18. do you think that cameron deserved to get punched by charlie?

Yes, violence is the rule of the beast and what other beast is as murderous as men

19. would you ever want to go to a school like welton academy and have a secret poetry group like the one shown in the movie? (without the drama, of course)

Not me asking to go to a boarding school in england (preferably with girls and boys) so i can fall in love?????

20. the message of dead poets society is about how education can go beyond what is taught in textbooks, and that’ll education should be taught in a way to enlighten people about the realities of life and how they shouldn’t look at things with a singular perspective. do you agree and believe that?

With my entire body and soul

@dead-academic @freckledcameron @toddspoet @deardeadpoets

[...] not Jennifer Ehle's 1990s version of Regency Lizzie, walking Pemberley's picture gallery and admiring its owner's "regard" or tastefully flirting with an upper-gentry, partially disrobed gentleman. No, Keira Knightley and Anne Hathaway instead bring millennial girlhood to the megaplex. A veteran of Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham (Film Council 2002) and Gore Verbinski's adventure-romance Pirates of the Caribbean (Disney 2003), Knightley brought swashbuckler girlfriend sex appeal and postfeminist agency to Wright's Lizzie.

[...] If Ehle's Lizzie is every forty- or fifty something's favorite independent, even "mature," Austen heroine, Knightley is every twenty-something's sexpot good girl.

Knightley and Hathaway also update the Austen body for the millennial teenage set. Like Gwyneth Paltrow's in the previous decade, Knightley's and Hathaway's collarbones grace bared chests and swelling cleavage above Regency gown décolletage, their curled and coifed hair haloed by glamour lighting. Yet the millennial Austen face goes Paltrow one better, as the heroine looks out of the frame in close up, exuding self-satisfied to-be-looked-at-ness; "wide-eyed intensity," "cherry lips," and botoxed pout excite teen girl envy and arouse boys as well. Knightley and Hathaway bring to Lizzie and Jane the svelte young-adult body that Paltrow likewise disrobed a decade ago in Alfonso Cuarón's Great Expectations (Twentieth-Century Fox 1998), tastefully morselized by tilt and close panties fingered by Finn (Ethan Hawke) as an extreme close-up of collarbone, then face, with head tipped back, eyes closed, mouth open, pictured the soft-core look of female arousal. Nothing so shocking need grace the Austen franchise now, which is targeted explicitly at a younger and more knowing female demographic.

1. I absolutely, deeply hate every single one of these words and everything about the tone in which this is written

2. swashbuckler... girlfriend... sex appeal. millennial girlhood. every twenty-something’s... sexpot.... good girl? I’m sorry but I’m losing my mind. the idea that they’re presumably talking about.. men?? wanting pirate Keira Knightley as a girlfriend? is warping my brain

3. I have never seen Great Expectations but I love the implication that there are (anachronistic) panties in it. tho’ presumably they mean off-screen?

4. if you think that Anne Hathaway “excite[s] teen girl envy and arouse[s] boys as well” then either you are very confused about the demographic of people who are attracted to Anne Hathaway, or I am

[chiveburger]

and I know it’a taboo but I like my own fair share of white men, but if I had to choose my top two it would be conan o’brien and ethan hawke. I’d be inclined to say james mcavoy too but two is enough. on a regular basis I would say I listen and watch way more conan content just because comedy is more palatable in comparison to 2 hour long movies but these two white men... In my heart forever. I don’t even care and realistically if I only had to choose one I’d chose conan. he’s just too fucking funny. his material transcends so many platforms that it’s hard not to like him and his content. ethan is just a fantastic actor who has been in movies that have impacted me and touched me so much that I can’t ever hate him. even if both these men looks like something you’d find in a halloween pop up shop I’d openly love them always.

Leave Kudos?

The next time Ashton had to go, it felt like routine, like a comfortable and familiar part of their relationship. Calum didn’t stay with Luke this time because Michael’s nan was getting sicker and they needed space, but he didn’t mind spending a few nights alone.

Of course, his absence at work meant that Calum was doing more and staying back later, but at least he was getting paid more for it. Winter was close, so it was always dark by the time he was done cleaning, but that didn’t worry him until the night Ashton got home.

He was in a good mood, elated at the prospect of going home to his boyfriend. As he closed up, he noticed three men down the alley. It didn’t bother him at first, not until he was making his way to the carpark and he realised they were following him.

Or maybe they weren’t. Maybe they were parked nearby and didn’t give a shit about Calum. He tried to relax, only really feeling it when he reached his motorbike and put on his helmet. His tension quickly returned when someone spoke.

“You Hood’s kid?”

Calum turned to find the men standing just a few metres away, their body language setting off alarm bells in his head. He recognised them. Friends of his dad’s. He tried to look unfazed, but no amount of staring down was going to make him look less outnumbered.

“Yeah.” He hoped to god it was the right answer.

“The fag?”

Shit.

“No-”

“Yeah you are.” The man stepped closer. “I’ve seen you with Ethan’s brother and those other fags.”

Hopefully the rising panic wasn’t showing on his face. His brain was a whirlwind as he searched for ways to turn the conversation away from the direction it was going but came up with nothing.

“I don’t want any trouble,” he tried.

“Should’ve thought of that before you decided to be a cocksucker.”

Calum would have liked to say that he bravely fought them off and got away bruised but victorious, but it was three against one and he went down quickly once someone had yanked off his helmet and tossed it away. As he shielded his face from their boots, he felt a cold sense of inevitability creep over him. Of course this was always going to happen. Part of him had known it from the moment his dad kicked him out. People fucking hated him for what he was.

Eventually, the kicks stopped coming and Calum vaguely registered voices. He curled up tighter when he felt hands pulling at his arms, but looked up when he realised he recognised the voice saying his name.

In the low light, Luke looked terrified. “Can you walk?”

Calum grunted and spat blood onto the bitumen, wincing when he tried to put pressure on his wrist to push himself off the ground. Luke helped him into a sitting position, radiating worry and fear.

“You okay?” Michael asked as he approached, folding and pocketing a large knife.

“‘M alive,” Calum answered through the blood in his mouth. He spat it out and his tongue hurt. He must have bitten it.

Michael and Luke pulled him to his feet and he frowned at his motorbike. Someone had pushed it over. He tried to resist as they started walking away, but everything hurt too much to really fight.

“My motorbike,” he protested.

“We’ll call someone to get it,” Michael promised.

Luke sat with him in the backseat of Michael’s car, taking out his phone to text someone as Michael got in the front seat and started the engine.

“Britney’s gonna pick up your bike,” Luke eventually told Calum.

Calum grunted an acknowledgement, too exhausted to say much else. He watched the lights go by as they drove, trying to think about anything other than what happened. His weak plan to put it out of his mind and just forget it all failed spectacularly when they reached a hospital and he had to tell them what happened, though he carefully kept the reason out.

He realised his wallet was gone when they asked about a Medicare card and that ended up being what toppled his careful numbness. Rage boiled under his skin as nurses looked him over, cleaning wounds and shining lights in his eyes. Who the fuck did those guys think they were?

“You wanna call Ashton?” Michael asked.

Calum shook his head, the thought of how he’d worry taking the edge off his anger. The time he’d come home late after hanging out with Luke pushed into his mind and he remembered how worried Ashton had been that something had happened to him. This time, something actually had.

Several x-rays later, they told him there were no fractures and he was lucky there wasn’t any permanent damage, particularly around his swollen eye. Calum mulled that word over. Lucky. He knew they were right, it could have been much worse, but it was still a weird thought. He didn’t feel lucky.

At Calum’s request, they went back to Michael and Luke’s. He couldn’t face Ashton like this. Not right now. He still didn’t even know what to say to him. On the way there, he told him he’d decided to stay with them for the night. He knew it was too much to hope that it would be enough, but he still groaned when Ashton asked why.

As he racked his mind for an answer, Calum started crying and hated every tear, hated knowing that it was exactly what they wanted, that they wanted him to feel weak and hurt and afraid. Luke put a careful arm around him and Calum welcomed the embrace, turning to cry into his shirt. Thank god Ashton wasn’t here to see this.

Unfortunately, he was waiting for them when they pulled up. Michael got out to greet him while Calum attempted to dry his eyes, knowing that it was futile but desperate to put on a brave face for Ashton.

When he finally got out, his blood ran cold.

Michael had his hands up defensively, as if he was trying to talk Ashton down, and Ashton was pressing the tip of a knife to the skin below his ear, his eyes cold.

“Ash?” Calum croaked, throat tight from his sob fest.

Ashton’s eyes flickered to him and he pulled the knife away enough for Michael to step back. He watched Michael’s retreat like a hawk as he folded away about two inches of blade. Vaguely, Calum thought it was funny to find out Ashton and Michael both kept huge scary knives on their persons on the same night. Apparently they had a lot in common.

“What happened?” Ashton demanded.

Calum stepped towards him. “It’s okay, I-” A hand on his wrist stopped him. He looked back at Luke and saw terror in his eyes.

Nobody said a word as Calum glanced around at them all.

“What the fuck is going on?” he asked as his eyes fell on Ashton.

“Maybe we should go inside,” Michael suggested.

“No,” Ashton snapped, “I’m taking him home.”

“Ash…”

Ashton’s gaze softened when he looked at Calum.

“Tell me what’s going on,” Calum implored, “Please.”

Ashton nodded. “I’ll explain when we get home.”

“No. Tell me now.”

“Calum…” Luke fretted.

“Why are you so scared of him?” Calum asked Luke, though the question did feel somewhat silly now that Ashton had actually proven himself capable of being fucking scary.

“I really think we should discuss this inside,” Michael said.

“No,” Ashton repeated.

“Yes.” Calum looked Ashton in the eye. “I’m fucking exhausted and I’m not leaving until I know what everyone’s fucking problem is.”

Ashton gave Michael a hateful look. “Fine.”

Luke kept throwing nervous glances back at Ashton as he and Michael led them inside. Michael showed them to the lounge room, giving Ashton a long look before heading to the kitchen with Luke.

Calum fell to the couch, weariness nagging at his bones. Ashton sat beside him and looked him over, worry in his eyes.

“What happened?” he asked softly, tilting Calum’s face with his fingertips to get a look at his black eye.

“Some of my dad’s friends,” Calum reluctantly mumbled, “They recognised me after work.”

Anger flashed in Ashton’s eyes, but he looked up as Luke came in with a bag of peas wrapped in a teatowel. He avoided returning Ashton’s gaze as he handed it to Calum and stepped back.

“So what’s going on between you guys?” Calum asked once Michael had joined them in the lounge room.

Michael gave Ashton a pointed look. “You wanna be the one to break it to him?”

Calum looked at Ashton expectantly.

“Michael kills people,” Ashton said.

Michael scoffed. “So do you.”

Calum stared, blood rushing in his ears. “What do you mean?”

Ashton glared at Michael. “He’s a serial killer.”

“So are you.”

“Wait, as in…” Calum took a deep breath. “This is a bad joke.”

“It’s not a joke,” Ashton told him, “That’s why I keep asking you to stay away from him.”

Calum squeezed his eyes shut. “You kill people?”

Ashton tried to touch his shoulder, but he shook him off. “Only bad people. Rapists.”

“Why?”

“I need to. I get cold. It’s the only thing that helps.”

“You…” Calum’s head snapped up. “Wait. Is that what…” He couldn’t bring himself to say it.

“That’s what I do when I leave,” Ashton confirmed.

Calum stared at him. “You killed someone? When you were gone?”

Ashton looked pained. “He was just a rapist.”

“When did you do it?”

“Yesterday.”

“Yesterday,” Calum repeated. He looked up at Michael. “And you knew.”

Michael looked hesitant. “I didn’t know he was picky, like us. That’s why we keep worrying about you. We thought he might kill you.”

Luke looked uncomfortable.

“What’ve you got to do with this?” Calum asked him, “Are you a fucking serial killer too?”

“I’m sorry,” Luke whispered.

“You really threw me off, to be honest,” Ashton said, eyeing Luke down, “I thought it was Michael at first, but you killed Ethan, didn’t you?”

It didn’t feel like a question. Calum looked at Luke, who refused to meet anyone’s eye and looked like he wanted to hide behind Michael.

“I didn’t mean to.”

“Ethan got what was coming to him,” Michael snapped, wrapping an arm around Luke, “The only reason he didn’t deserve it was because nothing could be enough to pay for what he put Luke through.”

The puzzle pieces clicked together.

“Ethan did that to you? I thought it was Phil.”

Luke frowned at the ground.

“Phil let it happen,” Michael bit, “He knew about everything and pretended his son wasn’t a fucking monster. He just got wasted every night and acted like none of it was his fault.”

“I went there when we got back,” Luke said softly, “The rock I did it with is still there.”

Calum exhaled and looked around at everyone. What the fuck was he supposed to say? He was way too tired for this.

“Are you mad at me?”

He barely heard Luke’s quiet question.

“No, I-” He ran his hand through his hair. “What happens now?”

“You leave us alone,” Ashton told Michael.

“Stop it,” Calum said tiredly. He huffed a wry laugh. “You two hate each other a lot considering how much you have in common.”

“I won’t let him touch you,” Ashton told him.

“I’m not gonna lay a finger on him,” Michael replied, “You’re the dangerous one here.”

Ashton glared and took Calum’s hand. “Are we done? Calum needs to rest.”

Calum withdrew his hand. “I don’t…”

Ashton frowned.

“I’m sorry, I just…” He sighed. “You kill people.”

“I’d never hurt you,” Ashton murmured, his expression genuine.

Calum looked away. “I wanna stay here tonight. Is that okay?” he asked Luke.

Luke nodded, eyes flickering to Ashton nervously.

Ashton nodded understandingly, looking hurt. “I’ll stay too, then. In case something happens.”

“I’m not gonna kill him,” Michael sighed in exasperation.

“I’m gonna shower,” Calum interjected before Ashton could reply.

Every bone in his body ached and there was only so much the hot water could do to soothe it. Ugly bruises were forming everywhere, staining his skin as he scrubbed away sweat, dirt and blood.

A soft knock came at the door as he pondered putting his dirty clothes back on.

“I have some clothes,” Luke called.

Calum opened the door to take them, not looking Luke in the eye. Did he even know him anymore?

Luke was waiting on the bed when he came out, the clean clothes making him feel marginally better.

“Is it okay if I stay with you?” Luke asked nervously.

Calum nodded. He’d feel like a real dickhead if he kicked Luke out of his own bed. Besides, he needed someone and despite what he’d just learned about him, he still found Luke’s presence comforting.

“Do you … need to kill people like Ashton does?” Calum asked as they laid in the darkness.

“It was just Ethan at first,” Luke said softly, “I was just so scared. I told him I was leaving with Michael and he said he’d find me. Hurt me so bad I’d wish I was dead.”

Calum pulled him to his chest, heart aching at the thought of Luke being so afraid. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Anyway, sometimes I help Michael. It makes me feel … safe, I guess.”

It was almost so faint he could have imagined it, but when Michael or Ashton said something just loud enough for them to hear, Calum felt Luke’s pulse speed up.

“Why does Michael do it?” he asked, hoping to distract him from the raised voices.

“He hates rapists. He wants to help people by killing every one he finds.”

“Fair enough.”

Luke breathed a laugh. “Yeah.”

“Does he scare you?”

“Nah. He’d never hurt anyone that didn’t deserve it.”

Calum considered that. His sense of morality had been taking some serious hits lately. At first glance, of course he believed rapists should be punished, but in actual fact Ashton, Michael and Luke killed people. They were killers. Surely that had to damage them somehow.

As Luke drifted off and Calum remembered his nightmare, it occurred to him that they were already damaged.
