#i know i know that this isnt the same as the solar system

oh now you know how the sun works huh

[timetravell]

Twas the first day of school, here is a little recap:

We mainly went over all the new procedures. Theres one about phones and if they have to take it up 4 times in a row you have to pay a fine of 15 dollars. And the dress code regressed?? No teacher is enforcing it though. We still have the same tardy policy (10 tardies = ISS).

If this phone policy doesn't 'work' then we just- wont be allowed to bring our phones at all Which is a HUGE safety concern.

below is a recap of all my class periods <3

1st period: Colorguard

Nothing much happened here, again a lot of today was just a repeat of all procedures. There were a few band specific things, such as attendance, rehearsals, UDB, and stuff pertaining to the band hall itself. There is now a form so if need be, your istrument can be turned into the shop to get fixed!

We also cleaned out the guard locker room/area. All of the costumes from last year got put in one of the lower lockers. We somehow found stuff from seniors who left YEARS ago. And 3 year old water....in a jug still.. yikes.

2nd: Forensics!!!

Im actually so happy I got to be in this class. Im looking forward to a lot of things in it. Especially the labs and that one lecture about blood splatters. Our teacher is actually absent this first week, but thats because he's also the volleyball coach. (Our volleyball team is in Hawaii for nationals I believe)

We had three assignments. One of them was designing a locker (mine is super cute, it has a Marina poster), the second was a Syllabus scavenger hunt which isn't due until tomorrow but I wanted to get a jump on it so I finished it at home. The third was homework, which was just a student survey.

3rd: ELA

It was just, again, more policy updates and a little get to know you card. This class, thank god, wont be all on computer. We'll have some paper assignments. We haven't gotten our reading yet (which upsets me a teeny bit, but I'm sure we'll learn about it later in the week)

4th: AP World History

I'm actually so exited for this class its not even funny. I was genuinley upset when we didnt get our unit 0 packets and when I found out we werent getting our textbooks until Friday.

We did learn that the AP teachers are no longer allowed to split that 70% weighted major assignments to 40/30. Which absolutely sucks, and on top of that our first unit is stuff our state says we NEED to know to get said World History credit. Which means we wont even be tested on it come spring. Our district hates us.

I actually have a good teacher for this AP class, last year I had a very (idk how else to put it) 'White privlidged' teacher. AND AND I narrowly missed being stuck in a class with someone I despise. Made me so happy!

I also learned that 'The History of the Entire World I guess' is pretty accurate! So I can use that as a study resource for like- a short summary.

5th: Astronomy

SO SO SO excited for this class. And there is no math! None! (If they added math it would have to become an AP class). My teacher is so funny unironicly. He's very monotone and you would think he'd be a bore, but he's actually really funny in my opinion.

We actually will talk about why Astrology isnt real which I think will be really fun. I dont nessicarily believe astrology is real, I like the idea of it. But going indepts on why it isnt is going to be really interesting!

We also will get to learn how galaxies and solar systems form, which will be really helpfull for making my story, Abyss. Theres also gonna be night labs!! (if we go we get a free 100 on a test grade) And maybe some Day Labs if the school can get their hands on a solar telescope.

6th: Geometry

It's geometry. There wasnt really anything of note here. Just the fact that i somehow have a class full of kids who dont care abt the Highschool grades. (I have confirmed this, it isnt speculation) It's gonna be a loud period..

7th: Band (they split it up weird)

Again nothing of note. EXCEPT NOW I HAVE TO LEARN THE SHOW?? ON MY FLUTE?? WHAT??

Im in guard, i dont do 'band' until concert season. I cant work on my solo during this period OR my homework. Pissed me of factually because the original plan was as followed:

Used as a study hall

Practice choreography

Practice flute

But nope! They hate me! /j

8th: Musical Theatre!

So many new people! Its gonna be so much fun! I have a lot of friends in that class so im really excited!

I already know the song im gonna do for our first solo, just gotta get permission cuz its technicly not from a musical (Wont say im in love from hercules)

Anyways thats it!! Tmmr will most likely have some more stuff so follow if you want to see!

So... Yesterday doing that auto-vision work, or more so I guess vision work since it was communicating with Lev...

There's a specific place far outside this galaxy that's "claimed" by him and used by the body he leaves out there (Ahi). It's... I don't know how to measure how long it is. Genuinely, he stretches between stars, but I also call this place the "Garden of Stars" of the "Star Nursery" because it's... either because the stars here are young (i don't think so) and because this is the amniotic outskirts of space, or just the latter. I worry it's just the latter for personal reasons,i would love if these were tiny stars lmfao.

Anyway, he's bigger than stars which I can't measure, and this territory stretches far between them, I know that much. He has an entire network of gates set up up there to access various places in various solar systems... He has a hall of mirrors, effectively a complex set up for divination using the parts of space itself! Kinda like if, say, the Sky Library is an endless hall of mirrors, this is A Few Mirrors... But anyway. It acts on the stretching and movement of points in space itself to... do something that divination is sort of like the baby form of. Kinda like remote viewing, except if what was being viewed wasnt just spacetime but all the subtle forms of reality, strings tying things, etc. He also uses a tonne of stars as gateways themselves, using them to reach into various parts of reality without having to move...

Oh. Anyway. Getting distracted Autism Subject Dumping. My point is I know his territory stretches so far because of all the stuff that's inside it including entire networks of stars

Yeah well... So last night I got to see his territory empty in visions and had the fucking realisation I know what The Milk is. It's him. He is his own territory. He is the ocean the Star-Eater Fish swims in. It's his expulsions and also technically his body!

Which. explains why... when you go there, it's so hard to tell the difference between visions and reality. You see things there that look and feel exactly real and true but theyre entirely false. He's not a fish. You think you finally crack that egg and see the truth of the yolk inside and realise the yolk is also false. So is the egg. You're holding a bird you've just dug into. But that bird isn't real, that bird is actually a feast on the table. And that feast isn't real, you're knees deep in a corpse teeming with parasites. lmfao, starting to realise why when Hermes was giving me god names to take on as seals he gave me "Ahi", not one of Lev's names. oops. same hat

Anyway. He's the ocean he swims in, he's also the sky itself, and hes the milk..... this is......... probably his day sky connection spelled out more literally, he literally is the sky but hes also specifically the scattering vision-inducing substance in it - the day sky is the night sky filled with the Sun. Lev is a sun god. Lev's territory in the night sy is literally filled with him. its day

this is just one of like a million reasons hes the day sky but like. oh boy! thats certainly one of them isnt it

[exspiravited]

i think im going to operate this blog the same as gira's previous blog and have arceus also be a sort of. side character here? instead of putting him on my multi whenever the hell i get around to revamping it lmao

but i just want to say that i write/hc arceus to be FAR more powerful than anything canon has ever shown us and likely ever will show us. the only real threat i can see being to him would be ultra necrozma. even though gira's whole reason and existence is to try to kill him she realistically never would be able to (which is why any plots of her actually being successful go into its own little verse!!). man can legit thanos snap anything he wants to. he has destroyed entire solar systems and galaxies. this isnt me being like 'oh well i just dont want him to lose!!' like. he's god!!!! so please respect my iteration/portrayal :')

i also dont really write arceus a lot since he is such a miserable little bastard and it deals psychic damage to me genuinely. i have to get into a good headspace for him and the thread has to be HEAVILY plotted. also, of course, i will NEVER have him hurt/kill anyone's muses unless given express permission to, which is what i mean by heavily plotted threads. plotting out everything down to a t so i know exactly what im doing and dont step on anyone's toes/cross any boundaries!!

anyways that's all i really wanted to say since ive been thinking about it lately. if you want to use him as a vehicle for angst feel free, people have LOVED having him beat the fuck out of their characters in the past and have genuinely been excited about it happening. and its like okay!! you guys are wild but if youre fine with it!!

ill get around to making both him and elys a page on the blog with info and stuff since they're both be side characters here! elys will likely be more used here than arceus for obvious reasons :)

[lorelune]

hi lore its past 2am and i just finished the fic and bro i actually had to stop reading in the middle bc i started tearing up so bad-

it was so wonderful! i can see why it was indulgent, and i honest to god felt this cut in my soul that i didnt know was there be threaded together from this fic...you cooked so hard even my spirit ate-

i dont understand how you can write yandere so well and then pull THIS kind of universe-mending art from the same place. you said you added smut but it was more LOVE than just copulation or fucking or anything of that sort. i think you ruined me, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE EXPECTATIONS JING YUAN ISNT REAL SOBBBB

in any case, you cooked so hard--who said michelin is only 5 stars, the astral express is about to deliver a whole solar system with what you did. i will now dry the spots on my hair that were wet with my tears and have the best sleep of my life, thank you again lore! it might sound silly but you healed something in me that i didnt even know was hurting, and im eternally grateful that i ended up on your blog.

happy new year!! thank you for a soft, warm start to my year, i hope you also have a comfy start to yours!

SLEEEEEPY!!! thank you thank you thank you 🥺!!!!!! very happy you enjoyed the meal sleepy 🙏 i do so enjoy being in the kitchen... cooking up something homey (and hurty lol) up 💕

i'm glad you enjoyed the ooey gooey goopy smut :3c truly like... drawn from how much i adore jing yuan and how i've been chewing on his character for the past while... in addition to like!! my own proclivity for goopy lovesick smut LOL (you don't see it much on lorelune, but on my beloved old blog it was like!! my bread and butter). i do love delving into the soft stuff when i can :'^) it is like!! a little shattering in a good way!! cathartic is perhaps the word.

i hope you achieved that goodnight's sleep and rested well with lovely dreams of beloved jy 💓 thank you again sleepy!!!!

Diary Entry No.1

Its been difficult latley, as soon as i enter a room it becomes overwhelming. I feel like i have to think about so many people and what they are thinking and what i can do to serve their needs. I know i shouldnt be like this and i thought i was better but i think i was just lying to myself to cope with the fact that i finally had friends. Even from my definition they arent really friends, if friends are people you can talk to about anything and share your interests to and how you are feeling i definatly dont do that. Its too scary to share things about myself, I feel like no one knows how to help me and it stresses them out more so i decide not to say anything to avoid that situation. I got the weekend to myself though! i was going to go back home to visit my mum with my sister but decided to stay at the dorm after talking to the school therapist (i think thats what they are called? english isnt my first language so im not sure).

I got to study the solar system (my newest interest), sit in the school library, play sims (i made an alien princess >:3). I also ate nummy sweets and drank strawberry juice <3

I had art classes today, it was really hard and i felt i couldnt talk to anyone in my class, one of my close friends [❤️] thats no longer in my class came to me multiple times today saying they missed me and dropped the fact they werent feeling well emotionally today and wouldnt expand on it (I didnt ask of press on it more than asking if they needed me to listen to their troubles) and kept running away from me. Left me feeling really confused and used becuase i dont want to only be here as a therapist friend, granted i dont know how to be anything but a therapist friend.

One of my other friends [🍃] tho seems to actually enjoy when I talk about my interests which makes me really happy.. I wish we were in the same class more, I get nervous spending lots of time with others like I'm not supposed to be doing that I dunno why. I lent them one of my comics and they actually finished reading it in oneday it made me so happy.

Favorite type of science?

I'm so sorry I'm allergic to smart things and don't really enjoy science generally. Um, maybe zoology? I think animals are cool :)

[cr4yolaas]

I could write an imagine where reader likes viktor, but there's a thought that ""everytime I look at you, I feel my heart breaking, because I need you so desperately and you never realize."pleases

— inattentive . viktor x reader

synopsis . you’ve always adored your long-time friend, but he never seems to notice.

warnings . breakdown (??), crying, stress from school, hurt/comfort (emphasis on hurt), not proofread, i use italics too much

notes . i am so sorry this took so long for me to do 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 school and band have been stressing me out sm (ironic) this isnt my best work but ty for requesting!

friends since the beginning, you would call it. starting from your childhood in the undercity, to your positions at piltover’s academy, you and viktor were two peas in a pod. you can’t have one without the other!, people would say in reference to your long-time friendship.

you were happy with the mutual understanding and the tight-knit bond you shared with the man, of course you were. however, the nauseating feeling of your stomach bubbling up at the simple sight of his face, caramel eyes and chiseled bone structure and all, began to appear more and more and you couldn’t do anything to stop it.

a friendly coffee date. that was all it was. some small talk over hard black coffee and freshly baked croissants.

“. . .so, i decided to consult you about what i should do next. what do you think?”

you paused for a moment to pull yourself back to the conversation and remember what he was saying. “well, for one, i think your idea is great. it’s unique, well-structured, and isn’t controversial whatsoever. i can’t say it’s flawless, though. maybe replace the energy system with something like. . . solar power? it’ll appeal to your audience more while being convenient for all users.” your eyes floated to his hands, thin and calloused, drifting across ivory paper with a pen in hand, jotting down what you had told him in quick notes. “other than that, it’s great — beyond that, even.”

viktor rested his pen down and lifted his head to smile softly at you while thanking you for your input.

that damn smile.

the same smile that held such a strong amount of youth in it, reminiscent of his teen years back in zaun where he would grin at you with shining teeth. “thank you,” he spoke genuinely. “and thank you for the meal. i’m glad i got to talk with you, even for just a moment.” his words fluttered around in your chest, your lungs contracting painfully as you watch him slowly pack his belongings up.

he was always thankful to chat with you, and he would always love to talk more. he consistently said those words every time you would ask to meet up, before disappearing again for days, or weeks, or months. your conversations would border between soft small talk shared idly or full-on rants about your projects or deep conversations either about yourselves or the world around you. each time you would talk, there was a spark of hope, a little desperation in hoping he would notice your growing infatuation with him and his passion. and every time, the little daffodils growing in your stomach would begin to wilt away as you caught on that he would be disappearing yet again, and you would start back at square one.

you weren’t sure if he was doing it intentionally (you hoped he wasn’t), but either way, it hurt knowing that you had little to no chance in getting to express yourself to him. small letters written at the crack of dawn and little gifts you collected over time began to pile up on your desk and in your trash as you slowly began to destroy yourself from the inside out over his inability to notice your affection. next time, i’ll tell him, you would assure yourself each and every time, only for the words to get stuck in your throat, their attempts to claw their way out of your mouth all for naught.

next time, maybe.

the next time didn’t come for a long time. your conversations were, once again, reduced to quick greetings in the halls or hasty waves across the street as you both ran to your destinations, eager to get to work — the very work that was killing you inside. you were strongly averse to due dates, as time management wasn’t exactly your greatest skill. this weakness would only bite back at you as the school year progressed.

it was only until he caught you at your lowest point that viktor could finally slow down and talk to you. eventually, the stress from both school and your aching heart would overspill, you knew that. and yet, your break point hit you like a truck, hard and unrelenting, akin to waves crashing against rocks.

viktor held you in his arms in silence while you cried and cried to, seemingly, no end. your clock read 2:03 in the morning, a sigh nearly escaping the man’s lips as he realized how late it was. he could have scolded you then and there for being so careless about your health, but that would have made him a hypocrite.

“talk to me whenever you’re ready,” he whispered to you. your chest hurt with how soft he was being towards you, his skin on yours making your face flush. he wouldn’t be able to tell with your tear-soaked face, anyways.

after several moments, your sobs reduced to sniffles and short breaths, your face numb from how long you’d been crying. “i don’t know- everything feels so much more . . . difficult out of nowhere, and i feel so unproductive. i wanna get out of this hole but it feels like i’m digging towards nothing. and-“ you cut yourself off a second too late before realizing who you were talking to. you bit back a groan as he pushed you to continue. “and you. i don’t know what’s wrong with me, but you make me hurt so bad while making me smile so much. it’s just- every time i look at you, it hurts, because i need you so bad but you’re never around to notice it. i hate it- not you, i hate this- this feeling of want that i know i can’t have.”viktor turned silent after that, a response you were dreading but expecting all the same. you could feel his fingers twitch as his arms slowly unwrapped themselves from your arms. perhaps your sudden confession would push him away. you would understand.

“oh, miláček,” he spoke just barely above a whisper, his tone tantalizingly soft and delicate. his pet name in his mother tongue didn’t go unnoticed by you. “i apologize for not being present. while your confession was . . . abrupt, to say the least, i cannot deny that i feel the same. i always thought you were out of reach, too great for the likes of me, so i . . . tried to separate myself just a bit more as to not get attached. i’m so sorry,” he muttered while holding your hands in his. your heart was beating rapidly, the sweat beginning to pool up everywhere. “i know it may not be the right time, but . . .” viktor leaned his face towards yours, desperately trying to hide his awkwardness behind confident eyes. “i hope you can accept my affection for you.”

your eyelids fluttered shut as he pressed his lips against yours, tiny tears running down your cheeks as he kissed you with a passion similar to what he poured into his work. you had gotten what you wanted, albeit a little out of place. you weren’t complaining, though.

Food. 1)

at the 2746 solar system, me and my crew landed on their international space station to prepare for tomorrows culture exchange. (the space inhabitants wants to understand us more apprently) me and my crew of 7 humans were the representatives foer almost every thing and i dislike that is because neither me nor my crew can rest and we have to travel everywhere (feuls expensive you know?) after we landed, we figured that what they wanted to talk about this time is food as there are a lot of stalls here in the station that are selling herbs, meat and other foods.

however, all of them were either raw meat or non cleansed plants, so me and my team ate our supplied foods as we dont have induction cookers nor anything to cook the foods and we dont want to risk having any food poinoning or stomach aches for tomorrow. we retired to our guest house early. tomorrow, we woke up quite early and proceeded to the meeting place (which we took a transportation route ??? we still dont understand how this thing works) we seem to be a bit early as there were only a few representative teams there. soon everyone is here. and just like I predicted, we were talking about foods. "Team Leader Steve, in what category are your species in?" a research team member asked me. " I would say we are Ominvores, we all eat both meat and plants." " thats wonderful! what type of plants or meat of animals that you prefer to eat usually?" my team and i are...super confused. wow how the tables have turned, they are usually the ones confused but now were getting confused at their way of asking questions. "pardon we dont quite get what your trying to ask..?" one of my team member, Jay, asked. "oh so sorry, i suddenly got excited and engaged in casual talking tone. i was asking is what do you all usually eat from both animal and plants. like how bear prefers fish and berries but could also eat honey or fruits." "ooh! okay we get it now" jay said with a smile. "it actually depends on where we live, we usually eat something call bread, which is made from yeast and flour. And humans from the east eats Braised Rice with Pork and Soy Sauce. And most of us eats chicken and beef." Jay ended the sentence with a smile too, but everyone looked at us as if we are children who showed their parents a dead mice and said its a gift and then starts to suspect if their kid is a cat spirit. "did we say something wrong?" asked one of my team members, Julia. "do all of you not eat the meat straight out of the animal? or not stright from the ground if tis plants? isnt that more fresh?"

"thats right, we heard from cooperation that you all had looked at the foods that they sold and yet you all didnt buy anything. and ended up eating your own supplied food! i knew you all were a bit weird but braised pork? why would you need to braise pork?" "and flour? whats that? is that a new kind of plant only in your planet?" " and what is soy sauce? is it some kind of liquid you all drink with your braised pork? i heard you humans like eating and drinking at the same time." we were suddenly bombared with questions that normally, they would ask slowly. "please settle down everyone! the humans may get overwhelmed by this sudden burst of questions!" and everyone settled down. (thank you commander :"D) we then proceeded to explain how we clean our food and then cook them to a certain level and then only to eat the said food. we also explain how we store and sell meat and plants so they always stay fresh no matter what. (ofc until the expirey date {also explained this to them}) (and also table ettique and manners) after the explanation, they were confused and shocked. "i dont think any of us expected to hear such barbaric kind to clean themselves and their food before eating. thought they would just use their so called fingers to eat fresh meat! " someperson suddenly said. it was the Gardos, a species that hated humans because we may be predators but we look like prey. Since we were sentenced as Predators, they said that they were ashamed of the galactic union as how can such small and frail creatures be classified as prdators? but they also look into table manners, they eat with utensils and were the first ever predator to do that when others eat with their hands (or hooves or claws). we didnt bother as we continued to explain our way of preparing and cooking food. lots of the tohers also didnt know why we were classified as preadators as in their eyes we are adorable creatures apparently. so they all aggreed to what we said and took notes. we were ordered to pass a report on all of our food and what ingredient they contain as they are afriad that most of the food may end up poinonous to other species. we all said our thanks and goodbyes and went to our ship. ------------------------------------------------------------------ a few months later, space travel wtih humans are now for some reason somewhat compulsory. on a ship with a human and other species, all of the diffrent species of aliens aboard were thrilled to see me. apprently. i heard that humans (my species) is..cute? ”oh dear human, we are glad you can join us with our adventure！“ The captain said. " yes yes! i always wanted to see a human! working with one is a dream come true!" one of the other alien (she looks like a fluffy dragon!) said after all the introduction, we went straight to work. after that, it is time for food! (yes yes food! ugh my best friend) then i figured that i would cook instead of eating packaged food. so i went to a cooking room. (it was put there to supply the air with enough oxygen and the used gas as fuel for the ship) one alien came with me as she wanted to see how i prepare and cook our so called food. i was planning on cooking pasta today. so i roughly prepared everything and started to strain the noodles. until syehtrnscik (shy-thern-shec- shick) the fluffy dragon asked me ”why do you need to pour the water out? i mean, its okay to eat it together right?" i was stunned. but i remembered im not on earth. so i calmly explain how to make pasta and the reasons for each step. until i finished explaning, my food was ready and i brought it to the cafetiria. everyone looked at the food in my hands and looked towards syehtrnscik. somehow i can feel that their eyes are filled with jealousy because she got to see me cook. but either way i enjoyed my lunch with all of my team mates, i really look foward to the future with them!

Things to consider:

1. Aradia and Dave would be SO disrespectful of invasive of peoples privacy and property that they would cause a whole upheaval about the ethics of true crime. Like Aradia obviously respects the dead but I dont think she respects alive people. And also her definition of respecting the dead is a lot different than the average person's, trolls included. I think their cancelled initally because of some sketch shit they said and then cancelled FULLY because they both get arrested for breaking and entering into a mourge. And it turns out part of the reason theyve solved so many cases is because theyve been digging up cadavers. Also, these two have a black hole where their emotional development should have gone. One copes by latching onto things and concepts with their whole being to avoid mentally disintegrating, the only dissociates and just says shit in a stream of consciousness when even mildly uncomfortable. Also, they keep dead human body parts in their shared bedroom, and people arent too happy about that.

2. To me I think Rose and Gamzee are too esoteric and anonymous online to be turly cancelled. Like yeah sure Gamzee posts blurry 13pix pictures of his face with low light and at odd angles but Rose carefully edits every single picture she posts on line to look completely photoshopped before posting it. However, the contents of their stories are insane enough that people would give it a try anyways. Rose is writing intense hardcore human centipede au beetles fanfiction, and Gamzee is writing x reader erotica about the pope. They live opposite sides of Rose's mother's mansion, and Rose has made it her personal quest to keep an eye on Gamzee. Hes still recovering from being in the fridge. Their not doing great.

3. The fact that Kanaya and Feferi are not a popular vote is surprising to me, consitering that Feferi was raised eugenist. Like, shes pretty abelist and would also say some transphobic stuff by accident. Also, shes a beauty vlogger, and do you know what kind of shit beauty vloggers get into? She doesnt believe in therapy, has crystals around her house instead of a support system, and says the r slur. Kanaya however is veiwed as largely unproblematic until the murder charges come out and at that point a lot of people quietly unfollow her.

4. The reason Nepeta is not in the "rpf" category is because he writes friendfiction, which is a grey enough area that I dont think people would be able to cancel him about it. However, the reason he has twitter blue and the reason he is cancelled is the same: He is best friends with racist cryptobro Equius Zahhak. Also, he was a proshipper as a teenager. Dirk gets cancelled because his autoresponder calls someone a fag.

5. I dont think I need to tell you why Eridan would get cancelled. I think you know why. But, the reason him and Roxy are cancelled together is because a) their a duo and b) their both transgender "wrong" and people would call them transphobic because their bigender, or something. Honestly, I think Roxy gets into enough drama on the daily that they dont even realize they where cancelled until Karkat texts them about it.

6. Terezi is cancelled because shes a problematic lesbain and Jake gets cancelled because he uses transsexual instead of transgender in a post-kink era. The canibalism thing isnt widely known. Both of them wouldn't even notice because their online exactly one week a year, two weeks if theres a solar eclipse.

7. June and Travos get cancelled because they call eachother slurs affectionately on livestreams and once where mean to a homeless man. They probably would have been fine if their apology video wasnt a garbage fire, and it all snowballed from here.

8. Sollux and Jade get cancelled because they say people who treat their pets badly are stupid and exotic pet accounts send their followers to attack them. They say something like "you cannot domesticate a wild animal and it is morally wrong to try and make them a pet" and people who own alligators flip their shit. Sollux gets extra-cancelled because she self-identifies as a faggot.

9. Karkat is a famous tiktoker who starts shilling crypto after Dave convinces him its a good idea (Dave can see the stock market and knows it isnt) and Equius is racist. What more must I say. These two should not be roomates.

10. You see now this one is interesting because while Jane absolutely does have an nft, she only sets it as her profile and does nothing else with it. Vriska prints it out on everything and has a framed picture of it in her room and she is sooo annoying about it to the point where it reads like a bit and we are honestly uncertain if shes even bought an nft and if shes just lying. However, both of them are pretty radio silent online right now (or, well, as offline as Vriska can be) because the two of them are on a cross country ♤ road trip across earth c fueled by Jane's incoming gender crisis and Vriska's need to get away from facing her actions in regards to Terezi, so shes using Jane's journey as an excuse. They are both cancelled for being republican.

Theres no "see results" you have to vote. Theres no logic behind my parings besides "who do I think would cause the most events to happen". If you cant decide you can also consider "who would be on the news" and "who would tiktok hate".

and they know about your schedule so they try to make memories either during practice or after practice

fortunately, kyo lives at the same street as the aizawa’s so he walks you to their house when you have a job 

but sometimes when you are just walking home, you both stop by the convenience store first and find some cat food cans and dog food cans and water 

it was a complete accident when you both found each other standing at the same aisle, holding the same things, with the same intentions, for the same animals

the alleyway where you first met is basically your second home bc thats where your babies live

since you cant exactly take in 5 dogs and 6 cats in your house, you and kyo are taking care of them in that alleyway where you feed them and build them a little shelter with blankets and stuff

this will be explained more in the next manager!seijoh part

after practice, particularly after a really productive one, the guys like to go to the ramen shop near the school to treat themselves after their hardwork

by now, the old lady who owns the shop knows their order by heart and has it ready when you all enter

yall get settled in but you go over to yahaba and snap his wooden chopsticks for him bc he never snaps them properly and ends up breaking them

meanwhile,,

you gather as much napkins as you can and place them beside kindaichi bc he makes such a mess while he eats and you have stand-by wipes for him

you make a special request to add tofu into iwa’s ramen bc the mans loves tofu so much and he still doesnt understand how the lady seems to know this despite him never telling her

your seat is usually next to mattsun bc he doesnt eat all the side dishes up like the others and you can eat some of it too

kyo sit across you and demands you eat at least 2 bowls bc you never seem to eat enough and he gets secretly concerned so he aggressively cares for you

‘kyo-san,,,, im full though’

he ‘glares’ at you

‘what you mean youre full. you didnt even finish the bowl. eat the rest and have another or youre not leaving this table’

pls what

fun fact, oikawa actually has two pairs of glasses and he gave you one in case he forgets to wear his main one and leaves it at home

so he gets to school and he just realizes he forgot his glasses and his contacts were still being shipped so he freaks out and texts you about it

but you always have the case safely tucked in your bag so you wander up to the third year floor and knock on his class door

iwa, who is in the same class as him, glares at the students who stare at you and nudges oikawa who was looking out the window

‘oi, your glasses’

his head snapped to the side and sees your smiling face and the familiar brown box being held out to him

his face scrunches and he launches up his seat and takes you in his arms

‘Y/N-CHAN IS SO RESPONSIBLE! SO NICE! OIKAWA-SENPAI REALLY APPRECIATES YOU!’

‘oikawa-san, please let me go’

you mumbled, embarrassed at his behavior in front of the whole class

once iwa has you safely on the ground, you excuse yourself and go back to class

the class still stared at the door you passed through and iwa had to bark at them to go back to their business

youre like the seijoh and younger version of goddess kiyoko

before kyo got back to the team, you usually walked home by yourself but makki actually accompanies you when he doesnt have errands to run

‘makki-san, i heard theres a sale going on for puffs’

you would mention as you walked and you would look to see his eyes light up and walk faster towards the bakery

‘cmon, y/n-chan. makki-senpai is treating you today!’

he turns into a child, a contrast to his chaotic energy in school, and he runs over to the glass where indeed, there was a sale going on for his puffs

while he was staring at what flavor he wanted, youd go to the cashier and give her your card

‘when that guy with the light brown hair with the blue and white jacket comes up to pay for his cream puffs, charge it to my card, please. whatever you do, dont take his and use mine immediately, please. ill come by later and pick it back up’

the old cashier lady felt true hope and happiness for humanity at your actions and it increased when she saw the shocked look on the boy’s face when she immediately swiped the card when he finished ordering

‘what? i havent paid-’

‘the young lady that came with you already did, young lad. shes a keeper’

he turned red

‘ahaha, no, shes our team manager’

once he finished paying and went outside, he took out his phone and dialed your number to call you

you smiled from the aisle in the convenience store down the street bc you were expecting him to call you

‘hewwo, makki-san’

he shut his eyes at how cute you sounded

‘y/n-chan, senpai wanted to treat you today!’

he whined but you bit your lip, leaving the store after purchasing a drink with the remaining cash you had

‘hmm, but i did too. you just werent too fast, senpaiiii~’

you teased and he let out a breathy laugh

‘next time i’ll be faster! mark my words!’

‘then im looking forward to it, senpai~!’

did anyone notice that he is the first one she called senpai?

to our baby yahaba

we know how he literally tried to go after yachi in that one episode so you know how flirty he is

but youve made it clear that you reject his advances and he pouts and finally accepts it so he stops it, instead actually just caring for you

ya know how he cares for the others and cheers them on?

he does the same to you

our babie notices that you are so busy taking care of the others that you forget to take care of yourself

like that time they lost to shiratorizawa, you made bentos for them all week to cheer them up

but he saw you not even eating and realizes that you were busy making the food that they like, each different to accomodate to their taste, that you had no time to make your own

he went down to your class and noticed you missing and he asks kindaichi and kunimi and they said that you said you wanted to get fresh air

since he pays attention to you, he knows you like to go to the roof to breathe

he ventures up the stairs and when he opens the door, he notices you just staring up at the sky, sitting down on the floor

‘being in an empty place like the roof doesnt compare to how lonely Pluto must feel to be outcasted in the solar system’

your comment catches him off-guard but he regains composure and makes his way to you before sitting down next to your form

‘hmm, oikawa-senpai talked to me about space one time. he mentioned the vast possibilities that stays hidden in the shadows’

you and him turn your head at the same time and share a gentle smile

‘but its up to us to find those secrets and abilities’

you finished

he nodded and went back to look at the clouds that looked like they were slowly moving but it was really the earth turning

‘i want to be a sports instructor. i want to be able to help others,,, i want to help them find those abilities and perfect them so they could fully love playing’

a chuckle escaped you and you tightened your arms around your knees, following his gaze to the blob of white that was painted on to the blue canvas

‘let other people be your universe, baba-senpai. dont let them be like Pluto. take time to find out who they are so they dont feel so lonely, okay?’

yall im tearing up right now though

as mentioned at the first part of this series, you go to the gym very early to set up for morning practice

sometimes, the four third years arrive at the same time but sometimes, only iwa comes

you noticed him put his bag down and help you with the nets before pushing the cart to finish the task for the morning

‘thank you, iwa-san!’

you thanked and he ruffled your hair

‘can you actually help me with my workout?’

you nodded and you knew his routine by now

as he got in position for a push up, you gently sat down on his back so he could start pushing up

you sat cross-legged and you counted every push up and held a timer so he could beat his previous record of 100 push ups in under 5 minutes

IWA IS LITERALLY ON ANOTHER LEVEL

once he hit 100, he collapsed on the floor and you stopped the timer at 4 minutes and 48 seconds

‘good job, iwa-san! new record!’

you cheered and he grumbled on the floor

you gently turned him over so he could lay on his back

he closed his eyes from the bright light of the gym and he raised his arms as his hands made a grabbing motion

‘hug. i want hug’

he whined and you fake gasped at this

‘iwa-san, i didnt know you could be so whiny’

‘huuggg~’

in my series, its canon that iwa is actually a whiny little babie despite that tough exterior and hes much more whinier than oikawa

you laughed before surrending, mumbling ‘yes, yes’

this wasnt the first time this happened since he asked you to do this before bc hes a touch starved babie and as a manager, you must give your team love

you climbed on him and laid your head on his chest while he mumbles happily with his arms going around you

‘just five minutes’

you offered and he said ‘mhm’

well, you both fell asleep and were woken up by scandalized and jealous yells from oikawa

to our baby libero watari

watari is actually the only player who has been to your house before

you made an off-handed comment of making bentos for the team again and he offered to come and help you make them

so here he was, standing in your kitchen, as you were cooking with him

you were chopping up vegetables and he was waiting for the eggs to boil so he was just stirring it slightly

‘wata-san, can you give me a bowl from the cabinet above you?’

he nodded and gave it to you so you could place the chopped carrots and onions in it

once the timer was done, he scooped out the eggs and placed them into an ice bowl so he could peel them later

you knew his favorite food was boiled eggs so you wanted to boil some so he could snack on them

‘can you peel one and see if theyre perfectly cooked, wata-san?’

his fingers skillfully rolled the egg on the table before peeling it effortlessly

he hummed as he chewed on the food

‘delicious?’

you asked and he turned to you, cheeks still full but he raised a thumbs up

you grinned and went back to chopping the scallions

‘actually, i didnt need any eggs for the dishes. i wanted you to snack on your favorites as i cook. its like payment for keeping me company’

his eyes shone and he hurriedly went to hug you tightly

‘i really appreciate everything youve done for us, for me. but i just want you to keep smiling okay? i know we’re a handful and we can get out of hand sometimes but you always keep us together. you must be stressed and there must be times you get angry with us and must’ve cried because of us but i hope you’ll still stay with us even through all that’

WATARI YOU MAKING ME C R Y 

lmao kindaichi’s made me laugh

so basically, we all know his famous haircut, right

but what if that was actually just a style hes had since he was young but he has naturally down hair?

the stuff he puts in it like this brand of gel is just so tough and sturdy that two washes of hair is the only thing that can get rid of it

even during practice when hes sweating the atlantic ocean, it somehow stays up

he puts gel on it and stuff after he showers to make it stick up and BOOM turnip head

but one morning, he,,,, wasnt turnip head

the boy woke up late and he didnt have time to perfect the sticking up so he went to school with his hair down and everything

you were already there since morning practice has started and kunimi told you that kindaichi texted him he would be late so you were just patiently waiting by the door for your classmate

but some guy just walked in

your eyes widened and you pulled their arm

‘um, this is for seijoh volley-’

then the words died in your mouth

‘yuu-kun,,,’

you stuttered and he placed his hands on his face to hide away

‘dont look y/n-chan!’

his shout attracted the others and then silence before the laughing and howling started

‘THESE FIRST YEARS I SWEAR!’

makki was on the floor, punching it as he laughed

kindaichi turned red and he was about to run out but you held on to him

‘i can fix it for you, yuu-kun. come with me?’

he nodded immediately and hurried away towards the back where the sun was just starting to rise

you rummaged through your gym bag and found the specific gel brand he uses 

kindaichi was SHOOK bc why the hell did you have it?

you noticed his shocked and confused look

‘i knew this would happen. we’ve facetimed before, remember? just in case this would happen, i brought backup’

his eyes glistened with tears of gratitude but you waved it away and started attempting to fix his hair

tbh you dont know why he did this hairstyle because his hair was really soft and nice and he still looked attractive either way

moving on to kunimi babie

lets face it, he probably doesnt sleep at all at night and he suffers from insomnia

and when he cant sleep, he bothers his friends

but he doesnt bother you though

which makes you sad bc you thought you made it clear that he could come to you if he was in need of something

you only found out after kindaichi accidentally blurted out during morning practice of how tired he is bc kunimi wouldnt stop talking to him at 2 in the morning

‘aki,,, you could’ve called me’

you gently said and kunimi scrunched his nose at how sad you sounded

‘you need your sleep, y/n’

‘but i want you to sleep too’

‘kindaichi’s been my contact since i was like 5 so-’

‘so you dont need me?’

your eyes watered and kunimi jumped, frantically fussing over you

‘okay, okay, y/n, okay. ill call you’

then as if they were never there, you cheered up and bounced happily

‘i’m expecting it, aki-kun!’

but at 1:43 in the morning, his finger hovered over the call button on your contact since he really didnt want to bother you

but he could already hear your whines in the morning

‘aki?’

he cursed when he heard your groggy voice

‘sorry y/n, ill hang up-’

‘no!’

you sat up, forcing to wake up

‘stay’

you mumbled and he made a sound of agreement

‘not tired?’

you asked

‘no. well, like im tired but i cant sleep, yknow?’

you laid on your bed with your cheeks puffed out, trying to think how to put him to sleep

‘we can just talk, aki’

‘about what?’

‘anything. just,,, talk to me. i want to know your favorite color, your favorite food, everything about you’

:( morning calls really hit different

last one is our mattsun babie

so like, mattsun is a TREE

im like 5′3 and hes like 6′2 so we a whole dwarf next to him

you are always dwarfed whenever you stand next to him and this little shite takes advantage of that and puts his elbow on top of your head

he likes to poke fun at you but you just pout bc you know hes all fun and games

‘hows the weather down there’

‘so mean, mattsun-san’

but his height did give him a special memory with you though

you were both left in the gym to clean up bc everyone had something to do like oiks had to go home bc takeru got sick and iwa also got sick and you just volunteered to clean up and mattsun stayed behind

you were sweeping the floor and you unconsciously started humming as you swept and started swaying a little

mattsun heard you as he pushed the carts and watched as you just swayed and twirled around and he found himself smiling at you

you noticed him stop in front of you and he bowed down, holding out a hand

‘may i take this dance, m’lady’

you laughed

‘what? whats going on?’

he softly held your hand and pulled you to him

‘you were dancing and i wanted to join you’

you nodded and looked up at him, eyes half-lidded

‘stand on my feet, chibi-chan. i can lead while you sing’

it was a random song you heard from the radio earlier but you complied while he moved with your feet on his

you giggled when he would lean down to softly kiss your forehead and shriek when he would unexpectedly dip you down

either way, at 8:34 PM, you and mattsun danced under the gym lights with no witness except you and him

ughh i really want seijoh now

you and the team share individual memories that are more special than the ones with the others bc its where you could actually be upfront with each other

its just a shame that there are 4 third years in the team that would eventually graduate and go their own separate ways after high school, leaving behind their underclassmen

they could just hope that those memories and special moments would remind them of who you were and how special you were to them since at the prime of their youth, you were their first true love

a/n: ngl i didnt expect to finish this so quick but im just in a really soft mood right now and this is to makeup for the fact that my update schedule could start becoming erratic due to my school so i hope you enjoyed this blurb!! and depending on my asks, there could only be one last part to this series unless someone requests for another specific scenario with the manager!!

@featureenvyproductions

OKAY SO.

We have two titles coming up in the early part of next year. ONE I can definitely tell you about is THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson. It's an epic space opera science fantasy, and one of the two protagonists is a gay man trying to travel through time to find the Prince he fell in love with. The other protagonist is a girl trying to save her sister from the evil empire and LET ME TELL YOU she's not afraid to smash stuff up to do it.

THE OTHER I can't tell you about yet because we are waiting to announce it. But MY GOD. It's good. Keep an eye on our socials.

One of our Masterworks might be of interest: CHINA MOUNTAIN ZHANG by Maureen F. McHugh, which is set on a future dystopic Earth, and looks at the shifting social and political landscape around the main character's personal journey.

We also have some titles on our Masterworks list which feature MMF relationships (not QUITE what you were looking for):

IMPERIAL EARTH by Arthur C. Clarke, which is an imagined future where humanity has colonised the solar system. The main character has a triad relationship with a man and a woman, which - considering Clarke's reputation for hard SF and the fact that this was published in the 70s - was groundbreaking

BOLD AS LOVE by Gwyneth Jones, which is an alternate Earth facing a climate crisis, trending towards the trippy and inspired by the story of Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere, except Gwyneth looked at them and went "they would be a lot less sad if they had sex in a triangle instead of fighting", and lo, they did. (Most of Gwyneth Jones' SF is phenomenal in terms of looking at cisheteronormative society and going "I'mma break it")

DHALGREN by Samuel R. Delaney, which is a trippy, circular plot and the main character pursues relationships with women first, and the expanding into a triad is with a 15-year-old. So, it's not the most comfortable exploration, but again it's another book from the 70s - by a Black author no less, who was already fighting an uphill battle for space in the genre - so it's an interesting piece to look at.

Another one worth looking at might be ARTIFACT SPACE, by Miles Cameron. The protagonist is a woman, but the worldbuilding casually and naturally includes LGBTQIA+ rep; one of the novellas in an upcoming collection in the same world - BEYOND THE FRINGE, due out in eBook and Audio later this year - has husbands finding themselves trying to negotiate a trade agreement with a hostile colony.

We have a decent amount of fantasy with gay male protagonists, including SWORDSPOINT by Ellen Kushner, and THE STEEL REMAINS by Richard Morgan. I would also deeply recommend checking out Aliette de Bodard's 'Dragons and Blades' series of novellas - she's one of our authors for our other works, although we don't publish novellas - which are M/M romantasies specifically, set in a world that spins off from her 'Dominion of the Fallen' series.

(I also would like to go slightly off-book here, since we don't publish these, and recommend - if you're into comedic SF - BATTLESTAR SUBURBIA and its sequels, by Chris McCrudden. While the MC is not explicitly denoted as gay in book one, as the books progress you see him finding his identity more. McCrudden is gay himself, and I do think contributes to the very natural evolution and portrayal of the character, even within this crackers, high-comedy world.)

And hey! This is perfectly time for Pride! We actually have 30% off our Pride reading list titles in store - there are other titles on there than mentioned here, because they may have other LGBTQIA+ rep than the specific gay male lead. But they're all FAB.

More specifically, astronomy findings undermined a lot of astrology, in particular heliocentrism (the sun being at the centre of the solar system) is cited as one of the major reasons for the declining belief in astrology.

Also I dont see what this is supposed to even prove, if "people used to believe it was scientific" is a valid reason to credit something, then we all owe flat earthers an apology.

Where astrology has made predictions that can be falsified, they have been falsified. Further, there is a limit on scientific funding, and astrology simply has no basis. There does need to be some actual reasoning why something should be researched for someone to be willing to give you money for it. There isnt much funding for astrology in the same way there wouldnt be much funding if you set out to prove the moon is a dragon egg.

The author pretty much proves this in the same article:

Bullshit. In fact, loads of pseudoscience is based on a totally made up version of what energy is. Energy is scientifically defined as "the ability to do work", the meaning of this is quite complex but a simplified version would be the ability to exert force. It comes in two forms, potential and kinetic. Kinetic energy is effectively heat, i.e. energy of motion, potential energy is related to structure and position within a field (like electromagnetic, gravitational and so on).

This little physics lesson does have a point; planets do not have unique types of energy from each other. They will have different quantities of both types of energy, depending on their placements and size, but these are not distinctly unique and fluctuate with the orbit. Energy is conserved, potential and kinetic energy can convert to each other, but there is not a unique Planet Energy associated with the day you were born. Most importantly, none of this, has any connection with people's sexual kinks and career paths. Energy, again, is the ability to do work, not some kind of enchantment.

This is not support for astrology - we know the moon interacts with the earth. The moon is what causes the tides. It is also affects us in the sense that, its bright, we (including animals) make different decisions based on our ability to see. Now i have no idea why it would cause more harm to come to pets (if this is even true - one study does not make a fact), but this is not evidence that the planetary alignment affects your career prospects.

A study in Sherlock Holmes (s1e3)

So lets start this off on his inhumane tendencies. (FYI I do not believe he is a “high functioning sociopath”, pointing out his inhuman and sociopathic actions at the start of the series is just necessary to point out his development later on). BORED. This is truly when we first see how Sherlock acts in the absence of cases and distractions. He decides to shoot at a wall. The second odd thing we see is the head in the fridge. Its not exactly normal to keep heads in your fridge, though I'm not judging if you do. This sets his actions and beliefs throughout the episode up, perhaps not entirely ordinary and somewhat inhuman. This is continued through his behaviour towards the people who are making the phone calls. Its not that he doesn't entirely care, he focuses more on the case and the so called game instead. And that isn't entirely bad at all, its just clear that here, he lacks empathy for people. For whatever reason that is, whether he truly is a sociopath or he hides his feelings and emotions because it helps with cases. Though his focus on the case itself can go a bit far, especially the “although i did technically solve the case” part. Buttttt there is development by the end of the episode. Throughout the whole episode he ignores all the people getting killed but by the end he points out to Moriarty that "people have died" which shows that he does actually give a damn.

However, he does clearly feel upset when the old woman died and he was clearly stressed out of his mind when he has 10 seconds to save the little girl, so the emotions are there and you cant prove me otherwise lol. 

Something else I noticed is that he is self aware of his lack of sympathy towards the victims. This is shown so greatly through the “heroes don't exist, if they did i wouldn't be one of them” quote. It not only shows that he is aware of the usual human reactions when bad things like this happen, it shows that he is aware of his emotional repression (or sociopathic tendencies if you believe that) but you could also say (this could be a stretch but oh well) that he doesn't entirely believe in himself either, because after all, his causes are good, he is on the good side but doesn't see himself as a necessarily good person. 

Continuing on from my point on the study in TBB, i love his appreciation of the things he doesnt care much about. This is shown through the whole thing about the solar system, he cares about it so little that he doesn't know that the earth travels around the sun but he appreciates the beauty of it. 

The ending of the episode is beautiful to me. When he thought he had to set the bomb off, his entire façade was broken. For those 2 seconds, vulnerability and perhaps even regret are the only things written on his face. Because he doesnt want to die, hes young, finally made a friend and loves his job, death is probably  the last thing he wants. I saw this in a tumblr post a while ago, i cant remember the name of the blog but they said that this was the rebellious, rule breaking, disobedient child Mycroft sees and i think its a perfect summary.

This one could be a stretch too buttttt Donavan calling Sherlock a "freak" his expression does seem to change a little. It has always seemed to me that he really was bothered by people making fun of him, especially as he was made fun of at Uni and probably even before that. I'm not sure if it's me seeing things but it just shows that he does feel things and is actually affected by people like Donavan.

Now onto relationships:

The key thing about his relationship with John is the contrast between them, it's interesting how two such different people manage to live together. John is clearly still not entirely used to living with him, or perhaps will never fully be because let's face it, Sherlock isnt the most ordinary person. Their differences do seem to cause some issues though. Espiecally because John is prioritising lives instead of the game itself. Something I love is the "I'd be lost without my blogger" phrase. As funny and sarcastic as that may be, he does mean it. Because she literally would be lost without John, and that is shown throughout the rest of the series, everytime John and sherlock are separated, they're either not happy or one of them nearly dies. He does also give John a chance at deduction, not to make fun of him, just plainly giving him a chance which shows that it's not all arguments between them and that they are really friends. There is that small scene when John first steps out at the pool, when we cant see the bomb yet, when Sherlock really does start doubting John, so many emotions pass through him in that millisecond, I dont even need to list them, think about what you thought when first watching that. It was set up that way, us and Sherlock are meant to have the same reaction, shock, confusion, doubt, literal pain. Obviously that passes quickly, those emotions turn to worry for John. Something I feel like Sherlock never experienced to that extent, worrying for another person's safety. One other thing is the fact that they non verbally agreed to die together which is so telling of their relationship and how strong it is

His relationship with Mycroft is literally a classic sibling relationship put to the extreme. Sherlock is childish towards Mycroft, doesnt do a case hes interested in because Mycroft suggests it, and Mycroft is the stereotypical older sibling, calls Sherlock stupid every moment he can, acts like a greater human being but really does care about him.

Now onto Moriarty. Their characters mirror eachother so much, they have always been two sides of the same coin in my opinion. It's literally in their names "Colsultant Detective" and "Consulting Criminal". They're both smart, enjoy the game more than any outcome, and both have a great fashion sense. Sherlock admits it himself, "I cant be the only person in the world that gets bored", he knows why Moriarty is doing this, because hes similar to him, at least in that moment in time. Moriarty is what Sherlock could have become without Mycroft, whether he wants to admit it or not, Mrs Hudson, Lestrade, Molly and John. Though I dont believe they are overly similar later on in the series, when Sherlocks true colours start coming through, at this moment in time they are very similar. But anyway, their differences will be explored later on, when Sherlocks emotional side decides to show up. Though I wanna point out that Moriarty knows about Sherlocks sentimental side. He knows that he has a heart, and it's clear that Sherlock is just hiding that because Jim says that they "both" know. That heart, will later be "burned", apparently. And though Moriarty may not actually win after TRF, I still hold the opinion that he does partly, as throughout season 3 we do see how burned Sherlocks heart was buT THATS AN ESSAY FOR ANOTHER TIME!

I want kim kardashian to really embrace her divorce and lawyer era like actually become a girlboss imagine what a serve that would be... yasssss i know shes a imperialist capitalist rich pig blah blah blah shut up. Shes an archetype. A “star” they dont call them “stars” for nothing. A star in a solar system. And u might not know how astrology works so you say it isnt real, same thing with celebrities and pop culture and all that. Its a tool. its about how you come to understand the world around you.

Im actually very tired of impotent “pragmatism” thats really just cope. like Oh who cares about celebrities theyre shallow. Do you think you know everything. U think ur above propaganda? U think bc u look at your birth chart and see that youre a capricorn but you google Capricorn personality and read the first sentence and conclude thats not like you at all, so astrology must be fake! Like naur maybe youre intellectually lazy.... not very creatively intelligent... perhaps emotionally repressed....
