°•T B P CHARACTERS POSSIBLE ZODIAC SIGNS HEADCANONS•°

Author's note : I'm open to discuss different opinions about these ones , since we barely know some characters entire persona or birth chart , I can't even pick one to define them lol . Sorry if the reasons are too lazy or any spelling mistakes , always remember that the sun is important ( the sign that you were born ) but your birth chart is the one that describes your personality ENTIRELY , that being said , enjoy these lazy ass headcanons that I didn't know I started a long time ago .

FINNEY BLAKE

Cancer ♋

Shy , caring , attentive , sensitive and a reserved personality , one that cares about their loved ones more than anything and it's eager to help them whenever they can , intuitive , tendency for the melancholy and loneliness , modest , I think it fits him , besides they're also observant and smart , usually mistaken as " too naive " , but if needed , they can be mean , serious and cold headed if the situation demands it . Second close to the spiritual and / or magic world sign , but they tend to get more negative answers from it than good .

Virgo ♍

Just like the previous one this one is because of his shy and reserved persona , but , the one who has the sign is a very smart , logical and responsable person , a little bit more rational than emotional . Patient yet not so patient . Great at observation . They take responsibility and are determined to finish whatever task they have to whatever costs it has . They can think straight in the worst situations and tend to usually outsmart the moment that they're living .

Escorpio ♏

Emotional , not so social , good with people until they break them down and they explode in a terrifying rage , because they tent to suck all the negative emotions inside them , until that day comes and their true persona comes to the surface , it kinda reminds me to his confident boost in the end of the movie . Scorpio as a sign planet represent the death , the resurrection and the spiritual transformation of someone metaphorically speaking when their old self " dies " after a bad period of their lives and the new one is " born " . Good thing is that the people with this sign know for sure that every change that comes heavy brings experience and calm after the storm .

ROBIN ARELLANO

Aquarius ♒

Independent . Chill yet chaotic people . Either a social butterfly or someone with little friends . Blunt honest . In a negative light they cannot fear being disrespectful or agressive towards people . Loyal friends if so friends had their respect . The type of people that will watch more than 40+ times a movie that they already saw before . Idk he looks like one

Taurus ♉

Practical and firm believers of their ideas , funny with their close ones , only cares about what people say if it doubts their social status / respect , determined , challenging if provoked , in a negative light they can be proud physical fighters , if it was his sign I wouldn't be surprised

Aries ♈

If there's a sign that loves challenges , it's the Aries sign , specially the men or masculine inclined people . Loyalty on friendship are their second names , would not hesitate to throw hands for a friend or loved one , just like it happened on the movie . Fan of adrenaline and the danger . They're not too empathetic with people outside their circle , but the ones inside can see their servitude and attentiveness . Very impulsive .

GWENDOLYN BLAKE

Aries ♈

Now , Aries sign girl's or female inclined people are not so impulsive and seeking of challenges like the previous one but for sure will stay on their ground to defend themselves and others if they think it's unfair and accept one if they think they're capable of finish so challenge . This little girl is energetic , funny , honest and perseverant , I think this sign could fit her like a ring on a finger .

Gemini ♊

Very smart , curious , funny and good at socializing , this sign could be also fitting for her sarcasm and mischievous part , her insistence on finding the real truth of something or someone , better memory than people give them credit for , it ain't too crazy to think about it

Piscis ♓

In a good light , generous , sympathetic , caring , empathetic , teasing and optimistic people with this sign can be , social too , funny , with a fantastic intuition and a special religious and spiritual connection , they handle bad emotions in a really volatile way ,so hey , miss Blake can also be water sign too !

BILLY SHOWALTER

Taurus ♉

Practical and direct people , really stubborn and hate when they ain't being heard or treated with respect , they tend to be bossy at times , cautious , reserved and hard working along with materialistic , they believe that financial safety is a priority on life , i believe he's one because , why else a kid would wake up early to ride all the town if it wasn't for money ? Anyways , here's top 1 zodiac sign for paper boy

Capricorn ♑

Capricorn men tend to be honest , patient , realistic , responsable , mature and modest , they are hard working too , and they likely are more able to get mad when someone ain't listening their advice than rejecting so advice , there's no more reasons, he just looks like one lol

Libra ♎

This boy takes care of his looks and it shows , that's a Libra sign thing to do , they usually are nice but in their rage moment they loose all politeness and calm in them , wich is something that we saw happening on the movie . They're either nice to everyone but reserved or very social and popular , depends if you view him as a quiet or more extrovert one . Anyways , Libra on the 3rd place for this guy !

GRIFFIN STAGG

Virgo ♍

They tend to be shy and reserved , they won't talk unless it's necessary or they're are approached first , with a close one , that shyness goes away and their funny sarcasm and playful nature is on display to those they trust . Smart , responsable and more likely to be the " geeks " or " weirdos " of the class , no one can pass as invisible more than them , so there's a big big possibly in my opinion for the floating kid to be one .

Piscis ♓

Differently from the previous sign that is more on a serious aspect until fully trusting a person , in a bad light of this sign ( because in a good one tend to be really social and loved for their generosity / personality ) they can be really shy and afraid of judgement , but they treat everyone nicely anyway. Smart yet easily distracted , playful yet somehow petty , no surprise if he has this sign

Gemini ♊

Air signs are more rational and overthinking than the other element ones , handle really bad negative emotions and tend to isolate or vent their feelings towards other people ( either verbally or aggressively ) , but the good thing is that those negative emotions usually don't last an hour or maximum a day ( there's the famous stereotype of them being " bipolar " ) , either because they found a solution , someone made them laugh , let it all out , etc . No much to say , I feel like he can be one , that's it .

BRUCE YAMADA

Gemini ♊

The good thing about this sign is that whatever role they want to be they will be , the sassy weirdo , the quiet smart kid , the students president , the popular one , etc . If this sign is combined correctly with other signs on his chart , a popular Gemini guy will be charismatic , playful , flirty , funny , lively and smart if the planets want to as well . Even if they're usually carefree people , they have their moody side or their social battery low somedays , but as long as you invite him to a fun party or place to go , he'll be back to normal in no time !

Sagittarius ♐

Smart yet they prefer to play the lazy / indifferent card if it helps to avoid certain things , this sign is flirtatious , playful and ironic , they love sports and physical activities and will be competitive if the people they care about hype them up enough , they're also the people that secretly wishes to fight but they can't because they don't want a bad reputation on them . Mental hippies , they're really open minded and even if they're usually party goers they enjoy deep talks and quiet activities from time to time . It can be an option too .

Libra ♎

" Innocent " flirts and good care takers of themselves , they tend to be chill people that enjoys socializing and care about they're reputation a lot , categorized as polite fellas , they usually suck the anger and frustration up to put a smile for the crowd , but that's only a facade , because their death stare shows their real emotions behind the cockiness or cool persona , kinda like the moment he gave the nasty glare to Finney for almost win the game , idk he can be .

VANCE HOPPER

Leo ♌

Intense types that stick to their hobby / partner / friends like a cat to a curtain , in the outside he's confident , smartass , tough , independent , individualist , cocky and brave , but in the inside , they're empathetic , caring , insecure , sensitive , loyal , altruist and hope for their close ones to like them and not see his flaws or weaknesses . Fire signs tend to be competitive and in a bad light aggressive , in this case of the sign we are talking , mostly for respect or make sure " they know with who they are messing around " .

Scorpio ♏

In a bad light this sign can be antisocial and had little interest on people , tending to be aggressive or rude to those that come across them , and if they have a bad luck to trigger their pent up rage or do a little mistake on a bad day that ruins something in their eyes , they will encounter a emotional dynamite human that might resort to physical violence to back away the people or push them away . Even in negative turn , these people are loyal and protective to those that try to understand them or not judge them , although they are really not fan of the idea of sharing their worries, deepest thoughts and feelings , even if they are sensitive to everything that happens around them .

Aries ♈

Aries sign men are usually the " badass guy with anger issues that have only a soft spot for certain people " kind of men , they either love sports and physical activities or resort to more visual type of hobbies like video games ( *cough* Or arcade games ) , marathon of movies , series , animations , etc , although if they imply some type of challenge or difficulty to be done or understood the better . Like the previous sign they're not good with handling feelings but it's more obvious for the rest , different from the last one . Care little about other people problems , smart / bad mouths , they tend to be grumpy and are more pron to give a physical warning than a verbal one , usually because their bossy commands weren't listened . This sign has a lot of masculine energy , which uh , combined wrong with other energies might make the person the " I need to fight everything that moves and pisses me off" kind of masculine , and it's not good , but it fits the character .

Personal question you don’t have to answer: I saw in the tags of that now-paganism post you talked about not believing in other gods but you do believe in other supernatural beings such as sheydim, and then you talked about a “Her” reaching out to you and Her not being who you originally thought.

Were you reached out to by a sheyd?

Nope!

When I originally (and reluctantly) began to dip my toes back into theism, I was very much a pagan and so my initial thought/understanding after some research was Hestia. And honestly? I was very fine with that, because Hestia has a lot more of an interesting mythology than you might think at first blush.

Initially the thing I was "asked" (nudged? idk) to do, was to cover my hair. I brushed that off for a couple years until it became extremely obvious that this was what I was being spiritually called to do. At that point I started searching out reasons and who that might be coming from, which led me to Hestia. So I began to do research to find a good reason why this was a bad idea, and eventually (if skeptically) concluded that it was entirely harmless and up to me if I wanted to connect. So I thought what the hell, why not. I covered my hair and looked up more information and had a little altar and left small hearth offerings for about two years. In that time though, unfortunately there was no real movement, no progress, no additional contact, nothing. During that time, I began to get increasingly more interested in Judaism - academically, of course - and had a much harder time focusing on any pagan path. Instead, I found myself powerfully and inexplicably drawn to Judaism despite my denial and all protestations to the contrary.

To cut a long saga short, after a couple years of radio silence, I realized I must have been wrong about the identity of the source of that nudge, and it was only once I learned about the Shechinah being feminine that it all made sense. The feminine energy I was reading was not coming from a goddess per se, but rather the one and only G-d who is effectively every gender and no gender, but whose earthly presence is typically understood in feminine terms.

And you know what? Guess around what time it was that I started feeling the pull to cover my hair? It was shortly after I became officially engaged to my now-spouse and we were living together in what was in practice (if not by law) a marriage.

When I finally admitted where I was at with things and reached out to Hashem, I experienced an immediate and powerful connection that drastically outstripped any spiritual experience I'd had before. I could only conclude from that experience that Hashem was real like nothing else I'd ever tried to build a connection with, and I felt compelled to connect as deeply with Her as was possible. My path was laid out for me.

As for the sheydim or other possible non-human beings... look I wouldn't say I for sure *believe* in them so much as I don't feel like I have enough information to rule it out. The Talmud and mystical rabbinic writings treat them as being very real, and I'm inclined not to assume that I'm smarter or wiser than all of the Tannaim, Amoraim, Sages, and great rabbis who did believe in them. However, I've never directly experienced them myself. Other gods I don't have a problem ruling out, at least insofar as it matters to me. If they exist, they aren't my problem. I respect other people's connections to the Divine as valid and real for them, in the same way I would like other people to respect and validate (for me) my connection to G-d, which is through the lens of Judaism. Essentially, I believe that G-d is G-d, that G-d wants a relationship with all people, and will speak to us in the "voice" that we are most likely to hear. For me that voice is the still small echo from Sinai. For you it might be something else. G-d is infinite and we each glimpse the smallest fraction of that divinity in our travels through life and spirituality.

Its hard for me to talk about faith as it is hard for me to talk about anything. I say I don't know so much it might as well be punctuation for me. It's hard to say just how important I find personal faith and spirituality is over that of something based in a group. Maybe thats why I like the favored soul. They are often outside of a organization. Sometimes feared, sometimes revered, sometimes both. But this is real life I am in, not fantasy. I am not going to delude my experience by thinking I am a chosen one.

Years ago I was spending time with a friend at his college. I had feelings for him at the time. He was my first dm and the first guy I would date later one. He was exploring paganism and had been for a little while. But I was different. My parents, raised catholic, turned to paganism in their college years and kept it in their hearts along with their faith in christ. There are points I cannot tell what they really believe. But thats the thing. Faith is not one side or the other. Back to the point I have been pagan my whole life in a way.

So I am spending time with this guy and he eventually finds a group of queer kids that call themselves the Pagan Student Union at the college. He invites me to join their meetings. And I do. But the thing was. The thing was one of the first people I talked to very openly said they had dreams about Thor and he told them find other followers. An alarm bell went off then but i didnt know what it meant.

In short this group was a bunch of queer, college kids who were trying to escape christian programming. I have no ill will to them but tbh. They kinda creeped me out after a while. My friend I dont think talks to them anymore but remembers things differently.

By that point in my life I had been wearing a hammer for a few years and working with runes since high school. It was important to me but I have moved from the mystical stuff about it. Runes are letters. They have the meaning you give them. Like tarot. Its about interpretation.

I realized that some of the people i dated and loved at the time were misguided. They were told things that made them feel special by people who wanted something from them. I dont think one of them realized this. I didnt know how to tell them they dont have a dragon soul. That guy probably wants to sell you something or wants sex.

Then I come to learn through my mother and some online scholarly types that yes. There are people who do just that. Theyre called grifters. And they'll take a lot if they can. Theyre everywhere. That same person with the dragonsoul also felt they were talking to spirits.

They asked me if i believed them on a walk back from a little patch of woods near my home. Idk what i said anymore. I didnt but i didnt say that. They knew i didnt believe them though.

For other reasons im glad that person is gone from my life.

I learned that sometimes the things you find faith in are not the things you think them to be. Gods do not speak to us in anyway we hear if they do at all. Trees dont talk or have spirits that talk on their behalf. The guy whose telling you have a special soul probably just wants to bone. If they do I dont think the person writing this or that book knows how to listen and discern what theyre saying.

But there are real things out there that happen. Storms do move overhead and I feel energized by their rain. I feel awe. I feel fear. I feel excitement. They're like a friend who makes me feel good about myself and I value the time with them when we have it. I call him Thor.

There is something sacred to me about people fighting for what is right. For justice and truth. And i read stories about them and imagine a friend is telling me them. His name is Tyr.

I wonder the woods and see wind blowing through trees, forcing a cacophony of swayinh bodies. I cannot hear my own voice in the wind. And I am excited by this. Like I could be knocked off my feet at any moment. The glory of it all! To live and breathe at this moment.

I cannot find my dogs bowl for 2 weeks. I know in my mind it is under a couch somewhere but i cannot see the blasted thing with any flashlight. No one can. It must be the gnomes. Its always the gnomes. We curse them and bemoan them. It shows up two weeks later when we move the couch for other reasons. They have forgiven shilo for spooking them and returned the bowl.

Life is full of so much wonder, mischief and grief. The things you find mystical are not magic because they have extra properties. Theyre mystical because they exist and you can marvel at them!

My friend is a geologist and she likes to poke fun at the witchy types who think rocks do things. But she talked in the same breath about how these things have been crushed and moved for thousands if not millions of years to the surface into the form they are now and you get to hold it! Isnt that beautiful. It is Lee. It certainly is.

Life isnt tragic because we face so much hard ship only to die in an uncaring universe. Its beautiful that we get to live at all and do all these things and love people and sing and dance and hold rocks. The universe may be a charnel house of mostly dead stuff. But isnt it beautiful that we get to be some of very few things that can move and think and do so many things!

I exist at the same time as the stars do and they are beautiful. I get to see snowstorms and thunderstorms and my dog Shilo and all my friends dogs and all my friends. All in my lifetime! And so much more! I exist at the same time as all these things.

There is beauty in that truth. It is so awe inspiring to me that i get to be here at all! And so much more. So much more i couldnt say it all in a single post. I have faith in this beautiful world and everything that comes with it. I call her God for simplicity.

I like to think of her as a friend whose so excited to show me all the cool shit they find on their walks.

Spirituality in Sleep Token lyrics - Part 1

I see this topic mostly on their album "Take me Back To Eden" which is why I will focus on this album. And also, I feel like I need to say this again: this is my way of looking at this. Which means it's my personal experience with this topic. I never say that Vessel means any of this.

Chokehold

"When we were made It was no accident"

It was meant to be. There is something that give everything a direction or an impulse. A higher consciousness or however you want to call it. I used to have the problem of “modern day nihilism” = everything is meaningless, we’re all gonna die, why bother doing anything, I don’t believe in anything. But at the same time I had a strange feeling of not belonging on this planet or in other words of missing home and I had no idea what it was that I was missing. But no, it was no accident when I was made and I’m meant to be here but it took me years of suffering to see this through.

"A sacred guardian" I believe in guardian angels or in angels in general and in others beings, too.

"So you keep me sharp and test my worth in blood" Initiations are something quite common. You can see everything that happens in your life as an invitation to finally go beyond suffering. I feel like I keep being tested every now and then but it’s not that frequent anymore.

"Beneath the stormy seas Above the mountain peaks" As above so below as within so without. I guess he is hinting on the hermetic principles (if you want to know more then here is a link to a YouTube video). Everything that we see in our outside world is just a reflection of what’s going on inside of us.

"I've seen my days unfold Done the impossible I'd turn my walls to gold To bring you home again" Yes, Vessel. Me too. One example. I had a spontaneous remission of a condition that was going on with my tooth. It felt weird and good at the same time. As if something was stepping in and finally healing it for me after having struggled with it for almost a year. I do energy work with golden light so gold reminds me of that. Bringing you home here means bringing me home at least for me. For me home just means a higher frequency. I’m bringing “home” hear, so to speak. You probably don’t care how I do this so I won’t bother explaining.

"So show me that which I cannot see"

Reminds me simply of spiritual teachings. Their goal should be to remind of what you already know and what you already have inside of you. No one should try to convince you of something btw. If someone says that they are a guru and you should do as they say then…idk…I would run away from them. That’s not what this is about.

"Even if it hurts me Even if I can't sleep"

Just makes me think of all the BS that I can remember now that was done to me. It hurts but it wants to be seen and acknowledged. Oh, and though we act out of our holy duty to be constantly awake That’s why I’m here Vessel and what I’m doing. Constantly spiritually awake. It’s a process and no one can reverse it or stop it.

The Summoning

"The sky above, the Earth below" The hermetic principles again.

"Raise me up again Take me past the edge I want to see the other side" Some meditations really feel like that. Turning everything off. That stupid voice in your head that just narrates everything. Turning everything off and being able to see things for what they are and don’t have your brain judge everything, that means acting from a higher frequency. What you do is, you raise yourself up. When you have a spiritual teacher or a teacher that uses energy work they can help raise you up. They can give you a feeling of being held by a that higher consciousness and you can just relax into this. A good meditation….can’t describe this. And sometimes I do see strange things, have visions or I even had an experience where my hands started to glow.

"Nothing to say and nowhere to go" Just be and linger and observe. No thoughts, a deep connection with everything and feeling of wholeness. Words can’t express it sometimes. (I do “fall” hard though. I’m not able to hold these states for a long time but I have an idea of what’s possible)

Granite

"I was more than just a body in your passenger seat And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet"

I still have not reached a state of where I can just see some things for what they are. I mean without the emotional charge. I still look at so much that happened in this life with anger. But that does not help. Of course it was all meant to be but….idk….at the moment I don’t really feel that. I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me I said this before. I have this connected to aura seeing for some reason. Some humans radiant something. I perceive them as almost see-through.

"But I am" The big “I am”. I want to write more about that. But not right now. It really is something big and yet it’s not much. Just “I am”. It deserves to be treated in an extra post.

Vore

"My life is torn, my bones, they bleed" I feel this. It had to be like that. Reaching rock-bottom and staying there for years. Torturing myself before I was able to let something new in. Or in other words I had reached a point where I was not afraid to change anymore and stop doing what I was doing. Addictions are exhausting but they whisper things into your ear and you believe that. They become a pattern, a habit and then they have you. And you can’t see past them anymore. "Will we remain stuck in the throat of gods?" It depends what you mean with gods. Since I just brought up addiction you can see that these were my gods. They kept my busy and I did everything to please them. Will the pain stop if we go deeper? Yes, it does. First it hurt even more because I started to realize more and more what I had been running away from. All that unresolved trauma. But I got better in being able to let go of that and I’m still learning. "Go deep" in a spiritual sense means to go deeper into the present moment. To not listen to what your brain is saying but to just become still. When you don’t think about your problems then they are gone. Right?! Not quite but something changes. The heaviness that surrounds them stops. "I want to go where nobody else will ever go" You can send your ethereal body to other places. But that’s where it starts to get a bit complicated here because I don’t want to explain all that. "We step into my suffering" Reminds me of the latest energy work course that I did because it’s what we did in that course. Fully step into the suffering that came from shame.

Maybe you think that when you face your suffering or you shine a light on it then becomes more or stronger. But that's not true. In my experience it is hard to face at first but then it becomes more light.

Thoughts: Red Flags

And away we go!

Love the blissful piano score in this opening scene

Buttons sleeping in Legs Up the Wall pose because of course he is

Hogod there's a lot in that sigh Stede gives as he's remembering You Wear Fine Things Well

And just noticed Ed's parallel sigh, equally loaded but obviously very different

Probably reading way too much into it but I'm interested that Ed could have just chucked the cake toppers - and based on the "fuck you, Stede Bonnet" that he utters to the groom in E1, that would have made sense - but he positions them carefully in the window ledge facing outward as if they're jumping. The groom jumps and the bride jumps after him. So...yeah.

One of the only sour notes for me is the ongoing "no one can pronounce 'China'" thing. Maybe I'm dumb but I don't really get it. Is it playing to Susan's comment that people in the RoP "know so little"? Whatever, I didn't find it that funny.

Buttons has assimilated well, I see

Who is making t-shirts that say "Tender as Hell" because I want one

Oh my god. If the day ever comes when Lucius' return doesn't make me grin and cry and cry and grin, just go ahead and put me out of my misery. There's so much that's perfect about this moment. As someone who has had the experience of completely unexpectedly (but happily) running into someone I never thought I'd see again, I can say they captured that feeling of the world stopping for a sec and then everything swooping back into motion. In my situation I was not tackled to the floor but I love with every part of my heart that Pete tackled Lucius. Matthew Maher's expression is just wonderful. And in the following scene when you can tell he's been crying... *sniff* Pete has grown up so much and I'm so happy he and Lucius get to be together again.

On the one hand Stede sounds a bit tone deaf when he asks Lucius what happened to him, but would it ever in a million years occur to Stede that what happened to Lucius was, in fact, what happened to Lucius?

Already adored how accepting everyone is of Buttons's spirituality, but the fact that Auntie perceives him immediately as a Sea Witch is awesome.

Time out from Frenchie's Treacherous Lying to point out that his silhouette when he's standing in the corridor - when Ed calls him back to say he's expecting great things - is just to die for. The cut of that outfit? I think I literally gasped the fist time I saw it. Mad props to the costumers.

"We just had him asleep" - that's like something you say when you're caring for an infant, IDK, it stands out to me that Jim phrases it like that, they could have said, "You woke him up, pendejo," but phrasing it the way they do really speaks of caregiving. Again, probably reading too much into it, but. I like semantics.

Oh Stede, you are so wildly inappropriate doing your personal little homework project in the workplace

So...I forgot to bank on pissed-off Lucius. If someone had asked me, before the season started, do you think Lucius will be pissed about what happened to him, of course I would have said yes, but I didn't really think about how that would play out. More aimed at Ed, I think. I love what they did here, love the pacing of bringing him back early (we all knew he was alive anyway, lol) and Nathan Foad is so, so good.

I know there probably isn't room for it but I would love to get Archie's backstory

If you don't know what the scrolls say, I would say filling them by weight makes as much sense as anything. On the other hand, Olu's been around, the map board with the little ships was clearly something sailing-related, I don't believe for a second he would have messed with it. My sis asked if I thought they'd dumbed Oluwande down a bit this season and I don't totally agree but I sort of see what she meant. He definitely seems way more out of his element than we've seen him so far.

Samba Schutte making the most of his moments :D

Lucius snapping at Pete just grabs at my heart

Still processing the Izzy stuff, probably not going to be ready to talk about that for a loooonng time

Lucius recounting his horrors shouldn't be funny, but...it's funny

Only just now noticed Ed's long coat, interesting how it's reminiscent of the one in Pete's fantasy in S1

You know things are going to shit when someone in a position of power starts trying to make people fight each other to the death

"Some people are just broken, no matter what you do" - oh help, I am having so many overlapping Ed and Lucius thoughts right now, all tangled in the above line of dialogue as well as "what if life just begins again," oh help

The whole sequence with the wave washing over the deck is gorgeous and I know Frenchie was just grabbing the capstan for something to grab but when you think of it as where we see the crew in S1 "living for each other, not just to survive"... *shivers*

"Indestructible little fucker" is an early favorite for best line delivery in S2

So Zheng has at least two more ships that are currently en route? Fascinating...

God, I just noticed the way Izzy's leaning on Fang when they're all looking down at Ed. I never, when I first watched this show, thought I would ever be this consumed with Izzy thoughts.

And there we have Episode 2! Thanks for bearing with me. One more to go and then NEW SHIT! Today I went back and watched the trailer and thought about all that's still to come...can't wait.

First of all Lemme mention it real quick I've already participated in the game, so I'd not be disappointed at all of you choose to not answer the question and prioritise others before me. This question is literally kind of making me feel dumb and excited too lol idk suddenly I'm being drawn to ask this question and dk why even tho my focus rn isn't even my love life, and i think ik enough about what I need to know but still this question is not leaving my mind. Okay sorry for my rant but still.

My big 3-Capricorn (sun), Virgo (moon), and Taurus (rising)

My question-"is there any message/advice my fs want to tell me right now!?"

My nickname-Jasmine :))

cards i choose-The Slavic Legends Tarot, The witch Oracle.

My mood board-

also a slight note; take care>33 sending in lots of love and good energy. I'm extremely greatful to have this opportunity and if you choose to answer any one of my asks I'm definitely really greatful for it too. As I've mentioned pls prioritise yourself first and rest well. Your readings are amazing tho and the cards don't even get me started on that they are just so pretty...😭

*feeling really selfish and annoying* I'll try not to participate in more games, as i think I've already had enough. 🧍🏻‍♀️

Thankyou so much!!!!! 🧿✨

Hello Jasmine!

I’m always happy to do a reading for you and it doesn’t really matter how many times you participate in the game. You can do so every other week, if that’s what you feel drawn to. 😀

Trust me! If I wanted to limit the participation, I would do it. I’m not really the type who wouldn’t be sure how to apply rules. 😂

I usually don’t really do Future Spouse readings because I don’t like the whole concept of fixing on some unknown person which you will meet in the future and who will miraculously sort your life out. I firmly believe we should enjoy the time we have here and now and that our happiness should be in our own hands and the power over it shouldn’t be just given to someone who can then withdraw it from us on a whim. But let’s try this because you said you are not fixing on the love life so I guess it can’t really throw you into a spiral of waiting for the Mr. or Mrs. Right. 😀

As usual with me, I attach the pics of the cards I pulled, in case they hold any special meaning for you.

Let’s have a look at your cards!

Cards: IX The Hermit, 2 of Cups, 5 of Coins, 6 of Cups (The Slavic Legends Tarot), 43. Tranquillity - Violet, 2. Communication - Pea (Green Witch Oracle)

Not gonna lie to you - It’s not exactly ace to get the Hermit card for any love related question. 😂 But then you also have the 2 of Cups… So let’s dive deeper into this!

Both the Oracle cards are connected with Venus and the sign of Pisces. And they both speak of deeper understanding and love. You might experience a gentle shift towards topics regarding love and relationships. They might not have been your priority in the past, maybe you simply didn’t feel ready for such pressure to be part of your life because relationships, especially the romantic ones can be very complex and difficult to navigate through. Recently, you might feel like your life has reached the kind of phase where you can start exploring this aspect as well. You might want to start on a more theoretical ground as the Hermit suggests. You might get interested in romantic literature, poetry, in romance focused tarot readings even. At this point you might really appreciate the purer and more vanilla type of love more, reading about mutual understanding and spiritual connection, rather than lust and desire. You might want to resist this wind of change for a little bit but it’s really not necessary. While you don’t need to solely focus on the topic, there’s really no harm in getting interested, in feeling more attuned with the romantic part of your soul. You can feel free to just browse and observe all the various kinds of romance that can become a part of your life. You might want to romanticise your everyday life, too. It can be anything from more romantic vibe decorations like champagne glass you can use for soda or water, to actually including date nights into your schedule. Those can be with your friends, family, or even with just yourself where you simply set the nice atmosphere with dinner and candles and then read a good book or watch a favourite movie. Or you might actually start dating a person. 😀 I sometimes tend to skip this option but it is perfectly normal and alright to actually date other people. 😂 Only make sure you are both communicating honestly and openly with each other. Don’t try to make them guess your thoughts. It always only leads to confusion and going back to the Hermit’s cave. 😜

Thank you so much for requesting the reading!

I'm always grateful for any feedback.

How would you rank the Disney fairies (Cinderella’s godmother, the three good fairies, Maleficent, Pinocchio’s blue fairy, Tinkerbell) from most to least favourite?

As annoying as this might be, when I really love things- and I mean really, really love things- I can't possibly rank them because if I put something over the other, then it's like reducing the impact or power of the merits it has. Idk if that makes any sense but I just love all the fairies you listed so much, there truly isn't anything I dislike about them or could be improved upon imo, like they're all such beacons of light to me that, while I can't rank them because they're all number one in my heart, I can certainly list what I love and what I feel is special about each! In order of their respective debuts on the silver screen (also I'm doing this off the top of my head, so there's so many more nuances to these ladies and things I love about them that I probably will forget to list because I'm doing this on the spot):

The Blue Fairy: THAT VOICE. She's the definitely of ethereal in every way, from the way her design has her to be slightly transparent, to the heavenly beam that radiates from her core, and how stunning she is. This is when animated characters still had realistic proportions and a mature vibe to them (a huge cry from 3d). I just love how realistically she represents, what I believe, to be the distinction between the higher powers and us mortals. Not to get too deep, but I've met far too many non-spiritual people and atheists who hate any type of belief in...anything, really, because they're world-weary and believe, if a higher power/s existed, than why do bad things happen? I think they conflate how perfect that higher civilization is said to be, or something like heaven, to how flawed us mortals are and how many bad things happen on earth but one has nothing to do with the other. We have free will and just because certain people do bad things or have bad judgement, that isn't a reflection on whether or not a smarter or higher power or whatever exists, or whether an afterlife does. Like...if a pope does something bad, that's because he's a bad person, but that doesn't mean we have to banish any religion that has popes from the face of the earth? I'm not sure if this makes any sense but I feel she represents this and I love it so much. She's there and she exists and we have her on film, yet she feels so indicative of that unattainable star that's just out of reach, that we see every night so there's that familiar, but the distance from getting intimate that makes us filled with wonder and awe at it. I love how she grants Gepetto his wish and does have powers to change things, but she ultimately wants Pinocchio to go through life on his own, and she gives him the resources to accomplish the goals that he has set for himself but she's not going to do the work for him. ALSO LET'S TALK ABOUT HER VOICE. Just such an unbelievably perfect casting that's so unique and mature and deep and I...I know the actress performed Shakespeare and could you imagine those otherworldly tones reciting medieval dialogue that's stood the test of time and speaks directly to the human condition??? 10/10!

The Fairy Godmother: There aren't enough good things I could say about the Fairy Godmother. Again, like the Blue Fairy, she exists as proof/signal of the Great Beyond and is so human- she's forgetful, she's warm, she caresses Cinderella and displays such an understanding for her experience that's so validating- but she's also in the film so minimally and comes at such an integral moment, she's still special and otherworldly and that glimpse into greatness that we so badly would love to capture more of. I love how funny she is too- and how she mirrors Cinderella. She provides Cinderella with a dress just as Cinderella provides the mice with clothing. She's kind and comforting, like her Goddaughter, and just as funny and tasteful and interested in design. Also, just as Cinderella chases Lucifer with a broom to "teach him a lesson," the Fairy Godmother isn't mad at all at the fact that Lucifer gets scared and runs off- "serves him right, I say." I love how there's limitations on her magic too- how it ends at midnight. She's so sensitive that she didn't want to put a damper on Cinderella's mood, but still needed to tell her the limitations- and the way Cinderella responds in turn is so heartwarming, on both parts. A seldom known fact is that Ilene and Verna were actually very close friends after the making of Cinderella, Verna was the only person Ilene kept in touch with iirc though she did autograph signings with the other voices in the 1990s, and that always heightened the dynamic, too. Also the song is sooo clever and fun- anyone could sing it! Also, not to fixate on voices, but if Verna Felton didn't knock this one out of the park, she never would've been brought back for Flora so another 10/10 (though all the entries on this list are lol)

Tinker Bell: She was animated by Marc Davis- that in itself is good enough to propel her to stardom! I love her personality- as most people do, it was literally the basis of a franchise. But I love the live action reference model, who is still with us and has built a cottage industry of maintaining a public bond and connection with this very special character. My favorite part of her is the walk she does, patting herself on the bun, after Peter reveals her motives in killing Wendy. I love her character arc and how she's allowed to be flawed- even though she was dead wrong for the way she approached things. Her love for Peter and what she sacrifices to keep him safe is so lovely though. There's so many other things to say but the song of Tinker Bell is anything but unsung so I feel that this will suffice lol

Flora: OK BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT UNSUNG everyone is a Merryweather girlie- and I get it, really I do, but let's also not ignore the icon, the moment, that is Flora? For starters- let's get this out of the way- I'm team Pink and have always been. I actually used to watch the VHS tape as a child with the belief that it wasn't stagnant- that, perhaps if I yell at the TV hard enough this time- that Flora will keep the dress pink or Merryweather will forget to turn it blue before Aurora comes home to the cottage to tell them of Phillip. So, the fact that Flora is the originator of that pink hue? Massive points right there, alone. But also I'm someone who loves beauty and is very drawn to aesthetically pleasing things and the fact that she gives the gift of beauty in itself is so astoundingly captivating to me- beauty in so many things, spirit, and walk, and talk, and character and- it's so much more layered and nuanced than people think. Also, Flora is the leader of the fairies, which I love. She has a level of leadership and autonomy and she's the perfect balance, I think, between Merryweather and Fauna, that the plot is able to continually be propelled because of her. She isn't weighed down by spite or slowed down by being...slower lol she's such a great force. Another incredible job by Verna Felton, and I just love the name Flora so much, in general. Let's also not forget she gave us the most iconic quote from the fairies- "that's because it's on you"- and she delivers the very important speech to Prince Phillip about the tools he'll need on his road to true love. I love her so much and I might venture to say she's my favorite of the three good fairies, though I love them so much I could never choose

Fauna: I LOVE FAUNA! The scenes of her baking the cake is pure asmr and I just love how she's this blend of Billie Burke and Rose Nylund. There's something so human and earthy to her, and I think Aurora is defined by her relationship to song, and that all came from Fauna so she can't possibly be underestimated in that regard. In my person life, I really get frustrated by people who play the middle or devil's advocate or can't choose a side when it comes to things because, in my opinion, it always feels like they're trying to be something or play the contrarian or be all things to all people- but Fauna is genuinely so drawn to the earth and so rooted to her natural temperament, that her ability to soften the blow of other's words and the gravity of a situation or even the conflict is genuinely PERFECT because it's so fundamental to her character and who she is that she could never be accused of being anything but genuine. I love how excited she is at the prospect of taking care of a baby- and her voice in general is just so unique and wispy. I love that she displays fear in a healthy way, like when they get back to the cottage and she hides behind Flora, but how she's still brave enough to go against this fear to venture to the Forbidden Mountains. While she may not be at the helm of creating the plans or being the one to set the action into motion, she's such a ride or die that it's hard to do anything but love her. Such a great character- more like her are needed, though she's so special that there will never be another quite like her

Merryweather: I know I previously said Merryweather was the most popular and everyone was sleeping on the other fairies, but that doesn't mean I think this fairy being the most in vogue isn't deserved! Merryweather is such a sparkling personality and so funny and I love how thoroughly she thinks through things. She's so ready to fight and be physically combative, aggressive, and sharp of tongue, but the very interesting thing that distinguishes her from other characters who are in this mold, is that it genuinely comes from a place of love for her. Her desire to fight Maleficent doesn't come from her hatred of the fairy, but in wanting to protect Aurora. I love how strong she is and bitter and how her pettiness leads to her downfall, in certain instances, but how she's also so human and anything but a Mary Sue that's capable of doing anything she sets her mind to, even with magic- for instance, she stutters when the other fairies bring her forth to soften the blow of the curse. She doubts herself and that's something that's so interesting in a magical creature. Yet, she also thinks she can do the job better than anyone else- as we see her wanting to make the dress and bake the cake over Flora and Fauna. She's also the first to tear up at the prospect of this being their last day with Briar Rose- and she was team ship! Briar Rose + nameless peasant boy (I don't see why she has to marry any old Prince!) and that's SO CUTE to me considering she knew Phillip but still genuinely was so involved with Briar Rose that she could only ever root for what made her happy, even if it was at the destruction of the allyship between Stefan and Hubert's kingdoms. Also who wasn't happy that she turned Diablo to stone LBR a legend who will continue to be appreciated for generations to come

Maleficent: here's the gag- I never thought much of Maleficent until probably the last five years. Growing up, I never considered her in the film and it's almost as if I was unaware of her entirely. I had no opinion- even as a child. I liked the huge fandom she incurred though, as it brought attention to Aurora's movie, but I definitely wasn't one of the people who was obsessed with the Mistress of Evil and I didn't really know where other people were coming from that were, but all the same, it made me so happy it gave a new audience to the film. However, she's a character I love very much now as she's totally tied to one of my best friends in the world who's found a home in her. It's difficult for me to see her, now, without thinking about our friendship so my feelings toward her are happy ones. Another one where the design work couldn't have been better, the vocals were out of the park, and the writing for the character is unrivaled. A queen befitting her throne and perhaps the only other character in the film to match Aurora's sophistication

It's been about a year since I left the church I attended since childhood; to put it brief- it was no longer the place I could attend. I do believe this was the right decision for me. But it does have its challenges. I feel as though as I'm relearning God and trying to unlearn certain biblical concepts at the same time. I do pray and read the bible. But idk, I just feel as though I should feel closer to God than I do. Any tips or resources (e.g. books, podcasts, studying methods, courses, etc.) you would use/ recommend on learning God/and his word?

Love this question! In my walk with the Lord I've also had my fair share of ups and downs and I've gone through many churches that ultimately have only harmed my perception and relationship with Him.

I've found that the most important aspect of our walk as His disciples is to be in contact communion with Him through scriptures and prayer. Those two things are a form of worship for Him, and it's in the moment where I've been the most loyal to him by diligently giving Him the time and space in my life that He deserves that I've seen Him give me the most revelations and spiritual experiences. From dreams where He speaks to me, to Him using people (who could easily be angels) to deliver me a message in person, to Him performing miracles and opening doors for me I didn't know I could walk through.

We must remember that the church is not a building, but the church is all of us who choose to follow Him with a sincere and open heart. There are many church buildings and organized religious organizations that claim to speak for God but only use His name to further their agendas. Just know that you have access to Him without the need for approval from any pastor or religious congregation, so don't let that discourage you.

Finally, what I've found lately that has worked for me is to find online speakers who preach the Word in ways that leave you feeling encouraged and better knowledgeable of God. There is a lot of rubbish online but you can still find hidden gems of people with great discernment who give sermons.

Lately I've been loving Tony Evans, and when I feel down I look at his sermons to be uplifted. He is a pastor I can recommend because he is extremely humble and actually gives good context to the Word in a manner that is easy to understand and doesn't condemn or point fingers at others. Hopefully this will help you!.

Do you have advice on reading tarot for others? like family and friends?

Hmmm maybe I could help more if you were a bit more specific, or it could be that I am not caffeinated enough to know exactly what you mean but I have a few tidbits of advice c: obviously these are based on my experience and opinion so take what you will from this!

I personally find it both easier and harder to read for loved ones. Easy because I know them well and can usually link the card to their circumstances asap. Hard because my imposter syndrome kicks in and I feel like I’m faking it (it’s mental illness innit?). That said, let’s get to the tips!:

• I have seen some say “always ask before reading for others!” But I don’t think that’s necessary all the time.

If you’re close with someone and you’re worried about them I don’t think you have to ask to read for them. Of course don’t go asking super personal stuff, that’s weird no matter if you’re asking tarot cards or not, but aside from that i think you’ll be ok.

I do think have permission can make the reading stronger, though, as the connection is more open.

• Try to “channel” the other person.

When I read for someone that I know, I try to conjure up their energy. If we’re close (like my twin and I) then I can do this pretty much at will, but if they’re newer to me then I will piece their energy together in my mind (maybe my minds eye? Spiritual space? Idk what to call it yet) by thinking about what I know about them: their name, age, pronouns, or memories together, their favorite things. This all happens relatively fast, btw, cuz it’s all happening in my brain and brains can pull and process info pretty fast!

•Let other people pull the cards!

I personally believe that, when possible, let the person you’re reading for shuffle and pull the cards so the deck can get a read on them (pun intended). This isn’t always going to applicable, some folks have issues with other touching their decks and, while their reasons are valid, I personally can’t relate.

I think my reading style thrives on having a “spiritual ecosystem”, so to speak, where my cards and I can connect with the person’s energy through touch. So if you don’t have any personal reasons to stop someone from touching your cards, get those energies mingling!

I hope these tips helped!

Lol.

Lmao even.

I want to say something else because I have made a new correlation in my everyday life with the contents of this little corner of the internet that I have claimed as part of my domain.

I like that this offers a number of experiences and reflections which I believe in theory have the potential to help whoever might stumble across this humble blog, or deliberately chose to jump head first in the bog of my thoughts and somehow withstood the built in ward either through natural resistance or spiritual resilience.

Anyway, as curator of my mind there are certain things I simply refuse to let go un-acknowledge, and the person who is being acknowledged might understand that this is part of the ride if they are already keeping up from their position. Just like those who have been acknowledged may or may not have been able to discern that their reflections were theirs.

I'm used to keeping up, speeding up, slowing down, and stopping for a pit stop. I'm used tu subtleties, and I pay attention to details and intricacies around me, what I'm not used to (and it shows) is showing respect, not because I don't but it's just so out of norm for my character that it's something that has to be done deliberately, however lack of expression is not indicative of the absence of emotion. It is this fresh, new, gentle upkeeping that I speak of today.

Just to be clear.

JUST TO BE CLEAR!

Anyway now I need to be transparent because it took a whole lot of courage for someone to show their honesty and their confession in the only way they could, and I falter at this sight.

Everyone who knows who they are is already aware of who they are. And those who know who they are deserve to be named.

XXXXON

Idk when you turned on, but on you are haha.

I'll see you around.

idk how accurate the first part of this post is entirely (actually it’s from 2021 so definitely not perfectly accurate anymore) but i like the questions. i think they are fun.

i appreciate specifying not needing to say origin. origin in the way most people think of it is unimportant in our eyes. to us it is more important to know how we are than why we are. Though I do believe that my headmates may have come from stress/needing help, and I unintentionally built them up over time. A mix of created and some other shit. Truly, however, I don’t think any of us can know for sure (life too complex for any single thing to have caused it), so i just say it’s quoigenic at most. and, for how we are: idk. too complex to explain and i have no clue what labels apply. I know we aren’t disordered. i think what we experience is typically labeled “coconsciousness” but also every switch that’s happened has been monoconscious.

About 5-6, including me. one is possibly no longer here or never really existed at all and i dont know what to make of it. and certainly more may come to exist

Not that long actually. I think it has only been a few months. But, thinking about it now with what I know, I think I have had headmates in the past, and I know sometimes my characters act like they are self-aware in my mind. They aren’t always though, not sure what exactly is up with that

when it comes to plurality it’s mostly maiacord (discord of maia arson crimew). too many others to say when including otherwise + the past

I knew of DID but nothing else. It was the only way I knew of plurality’s existence for most of my life

Not anymore. we used to but it turned into a simple black void over time. We don’t always speak while in “physical” (in headspace) forms, either. There may be some stuff that counts that I am either not remembering or havent put much stock into though. Bear kind of almost has a starry nighttime lake

Anything works but alter or part, really. i most often use “headmate” but i also tend to use “system member” (usually when describing myself though), “brain friends”, just “friends”, etc

skippin over 8 cuz i do call us a system

My headmates help a lot with bodily and mental health. The Eagle helps with executive function, Sputnik helps with self-deprecating thoughts and similar, Bear helps with my confidence, and The Nothing Beast has helped me with intrusive thoughts and runaway imaginary scenarios.

Communication is incredibly confusing and I wish it were easier. Sometimes also my headmates don’t like things that I like to do, and while honestly this is not often an issue (because they aren’t always there), they can’t seem to like, go back into the void for a while to skip it, so we get a little stuck

Varies. Personally I don’t think it can be anything but psychological, but Sputnik as an introject (or whatever you wanna call it) feels the same as the actual satellite in a way that kinda goes against a psychological view. And Bear is solidly spiritual, Bear believes that Bear is itself a spirit. I don’t know anyone else’s opinion or if they even have one.

Nobody seems that able to front but me, either it just doesn’t seem to work, anxiety + rejection sensitive dysphoria takes hold and I fight too hard, or the headmate gets really confused and upset (because everyone else is solidly nonhuman and struggles to deal with a human body plan and human functions). The first one seems to be the most common thing. Only one person seemed able to switch alright and we have not really seen him very much since. If switching was a desire we had (for now everybody seems pretty okay with what we have. there havent been many times where my headmates desired to do something in the world of the meaty) then I think we would need a hell of a lot of work to deal with it. Also being monoconscious for switching means that there isnt like. a break. which is fun (sarcasm). Headmates instead usually just communicate through me, if they have anything to say. Also, instead of switching, we often tend to blob around and influence how im writing or what im thinking about even if they arent directly there. As an example, formality almost always brings a tinge of The Eagle.

The closest word we have is family, but it isnt totally accurate because we could definitely still have other kinds of relationships without it feeling awkward. Instead “family” more means that we unconditionally love each other and are very close.

Yeah. My mom seemed to take it well. My therapist immediately took out the DSM lol which freaked me out at first, but then i listened to her and thought about it and realized it seemed to be largely just cuz she wanted to be sure that we were not struggling in the ways it described. We also are out to our online friends and boyfriend, and it went perfectly fine. Honestly I am infinitely more worried about what other potentially plural people may think of us than any singlet, due to the stupid ass discourse among the community, and the obvious Dunning-Kruger effect that happens when people are of certain identities, but are clearly fundamentally uncurious. I can explain us to a person with little preconceived notion of what we should be. I cannot when a person believes they already know how we function by one single label.

What they are is important to what they are titled. Bear is a bear. The Eagle is an eagle (though with turquoise eyes, and snaggly little horns). Bat is a bat. Sputnik is the satellite. The only one who breaks this mold is The Nothing Beast but that’s just because nobody knows what that is supposed to be physically. Beastie is a dromaeosaurid-like black monster with white eyes and spikes down their spine. They actually took on the form of one of my characters, but they are not the same. They also can shapeshift, but I have not seen them change their basic form. mostly just stretching or making shapes or like, squash-and-stretching around.

question too big and vague 4 us sorry. the nothing beast likes old depictions of dinosaurs though. they just want that to be known

question too big and vague 4 us sorry

Hi. im the host. ive been writing this the whole time lol. I play the role of guy who is stuck out here. I communicate what headmates wish to say, i gotta do something if they wanna do it, i am basically a communication device for them. I was also here before them.

Not really I don’t think, besides me. i got friends and a boyfriend

It hasn’t been long of course but I have noticed that being aware of my headmates and allowing them to help me has brought me a lot of comfort, and has helped me grow and learn what is possible for me. They do not trigger the same “fuck you, no” response in me that other meaty people telling me what to do has, which means I have done a lot more things I need to do. I care about them a lot. I think I would be more miserable if they weren’t here now.

I did not choose so i cant answer

Please. everybody has different experiences with plurality. be nice and keep an open mind. Black and white thinking will not help you now, even if it may have in the past, and you gotta do your best to work through it. I do not care who or what you are when i say this. Non-disordered folks should respect when disordered folks speak about their own shit, and disordered and traumagenic folks should respect when non disordered and non traumagenic folks talk about their shit. We are different. That is okay! We do not need to have the same experiences to both be going through something real.

Don’t do “well my DID friend is like this and tells me this so i know everything/you are wrong/faking” for the love of god. For one not every plural is DID (i mean, of course, cuz OSDD). For another, we know ourselves better than you do, especially because you do not experience anything even close to as intense. In general, please be open to new things and people and experiences. It is healthier for you and you will learn more about the world! And muah muah thank you singlets who are supportive and do their best to listen to us, i love you.

Sysmeds should not get to write the narrative about us on this platform!

Scrolling through the tags, it seems like a great deal of what's said about us on tumblr is either sysmeds trying to make us look bad or all-encompassing plural blogs that just say everyone is valid (which is great! and these blogs should keep doing what they're doing! but it would be nice to have some more frequent endo (and other) representation on here too!)

Either my tumblr algorithm just sucks major balls, or most endos, tulpas, spiritual systems and other non-sysmed-approved systems get scared off of this platform because of how many loud hateful voices there are compared to how few people there are who we can relate to. (like most of the cool-looking accounts i can relate to that i find are dead and so is my blog for the same reason lol).

SO! Let's do a thing. If you are endogenic, parogenic, a tulpamancy system, a spiritual system, a daemien, or any other kind of system that sysmeds try to silence, reblog this post with answers to these questions to tell tumblr what our lived experiences as plurals are REALLY like!

(Feel free to pick and choose which questions you want to answer, or just come up with your own and tag them under #endovoices or substitute endo for whatever kind of system you are! Also, feel free to just reblog with one answer at a time, or to just answer the questions in a standalone post; no need to credit me, I just want more systems sharing their experiences!)

1. What kind of system are you? (Describe this in any way you like. No need to use -genic or popular terms if you don't want to)

2. How many of you are there?

3. How long have you known about your plurality?

4. What kind of spaces/communities do you/did you hang out in? (Both plural-relevant and non-plural-relevant spaces are valid answers, past and present)

5. Had you heard of DID/OSDD/DDNOS before you became plural/discovered your plurality?

6. Do you have a wonderland/innerworld? If so, what do you call it, and what are some things that you and your system members do there?

7. What do you call your system members?

8. If you're plural but don't use the word "system" to describe you&, what word do you use?

9. What are some of the best things about being plural?

10. What are some of the not-so-great things about being plural? (Any answer is valid- nothing is too minor or too major to be an answer to this question.)

11. Do you have a spiritual or psychological view of your plurality?

12. Do you ever experience "switching" or "posession" or any sort of change in who controls the body? If so, what do you call it, how easy/difficult is it, and what is it like? Were you always able to do this, or did you have to learn how over time?

Hey this might be weird so if it is I’m so sorry but I really need some kind of opinion on this (someone who is Christian) and my family are not but anyway a quick one about dating ??

Idk if you or any of your followers could add anything / help. Someone I’ve known as a friend asked for a date and he recently seemed like he was interesting in taking the next step into Christianity and I thought idk if I wanna even open that door w someone who’s not been a full believer but he seems genuine enough… however I sometimes think he’s just saying stuff because he knows I am a Christian idk. Like we agree on general stuff from what we want but it seems like he’s v over bearing. Examples are - if I haven’t messaged him back yet that day, he will almost certainly send something else and by the time I reply there’s like 3-5 messages sometimes he ALWAYS sends selfies of himself like in bed or old photos of him in suits but the caption is always like ‘my eyes are so weird tonight isn’t it sexy’ or ‘look at this sexy guy’ but it’s in like a joke format but it’s so often it’s like ???? Why are you sending me this lol

Also (this is pretty long I’m sorry haha) I’m a vegetarian (have been for a while and I don’t care who eats what if it’s not me!) but he told me if I personally want him to go vegetarian then he will… or like so eating is easier?? Like he thinks I can’t just order my usual vegetarian foods that I’ve always done idk it’s bizarre to me but he’s always eaten meat and it’s like he’s specifically saying ‘if YOU want me to’ it’s just so weird hahah anyway please, any advice is like truly appreciated 😂😂

Hey! :D No worries about asking!

I totally get the idea of trying to vet and determine how dedicated someone ACTUALLY is as a Christian when it comes to dating. I've been experimenting with dating apps for a few months now, and there are SOOOO many people who will call themselves Christians, but the second I ask a question or try to dig deeper, they'll end up saying that they really just go to church every once or consider themselves 'spiritual'. XP It's frustrating. I think that it's important for both partners to not just claim the concept of Christianity, but to have the same level of seriousness around it.

In my opinion, dating is a process of getting to know someone and testing to see if they would be compatible as a spouse. All that to say that I'd really want to sit down and speak directly with this person. Ask him what exactly he believes, how solid he is in that, and then what he's looking for in a relationship. If you're already getting an icky feeling now, I'd take that as a sign that you should probably call it off. Let both people grow, and then if it's meant to be, God will guide you guys back to each other. If not, maybe your words will help nudge this guy more in the direction of trying to take his faith seriously.

Based on the random pictures and stuff he is sending you (and to be fair, I don't know this person) but it sounds like he might be a bit immature? I don't know how old you guys are, but that sounds like something a 15-16 year old guy would send, lol

I think he's honestly trying to be nice though about the vegetarianism. Like if he thinks that eating meat makes you uncomfortable, he's offering to avoid doing that in front of you. Personally I think that's kind of him, even if it's a bit unnecessary. :)

I hope that helps any - feel free to send me another ask or DM if you want to keep talking! <3 It's always nice to find other Christian ladies on here!

Syn is we 😍

I was asked about my personal favorite synastry aspects and since it would've been short sighted of me to just instantly reply, here's a whole post. (Thanks @lordgoring)

😘As much as I'd like to shit on eighth house synastry, I actually really like it. Its a love hate thing. I would describe it as something that makes you a different person (for the better), regardless if you were ready or not. I've had this type of synastry a lot so I'm fairly comfortable with it, I've experienced profound emotional and socio-personal growth.

😘Saturn conjunction synastry. So I know a lot of people might think this type of relationship I really strict and even boring, however for me I learned the lesson of boundaries with others and with self. It was tough because the same cycle kept repeating until I noticed it was an issue of how well I maintained the boundaries set.

🥰I believe this type of relationship teaches one about their relationship to others and themselves. Also how much they are willing to sacrifice for what they believe in

😘I actually really like Neptune-Venus aspects 🥺👉👈(even when they each other opps). Why? Because I personally have a Neptune-Venus aspect and in synastry its allowed me to vibe with a person when it comes to all things beauty, Earthly and even Spiritually. like we just understand the other person on those levels and I don't have to explain certain things the way I would have to with someone else.

😘So fuck twelfth house synastry, and personally I am thankful for it. While I don't prefer it, I'm allowed to learn about my shadow aspects (or expose the other person to theirs). Being able to see how I act (at certain times), allows me to work on myself and better me.

🥰Now I'm not going to lie and say this can't get bad because one person can be completely in denial about their actions despite them being pointed out. Or one can't project feelings they have about themselves of to the other person. It depends on individuals and if they want to work on themselves.

😘Tenth house synastry isnt that bad, I actually like having this with either folks I work with (bosses especially), or a partner. From my experience I've grown socially (not using the person, but I've experienced being more social because of it). With bosses, it allowed me to grow more job wise (I also did do a lot of work, but they liked me before that). For relationships I felt the need to be more social not only with them, but the world around me and it attracted me opportunities I wouldn't have other wise had.

😘I stg if me and my future spouse don't have sixth house synastry imma flip. I just love doing everyday things with someone (yes one of my top love languages is quality time). I want to be able to speak about emotions, go to sleep, cook, go to the store all that regular stuff with someone because it makes me feel like I matter. I also really love this placement in friendships because it means we willing to help each other with the most simple of things.

😘I sorta really love Leo synastry. I tend to vibe so much with Leos. Idk what about it is but they bring out the parts of me that I forgot about. And help them grow into a more self confident person.

😘omg omg omg 7th house synastry is heaven sent. Yeah I know about the negatives and when your North Node happens to fall in this house, you learn so much from others simply by being in relationship. That does a lot for me being the planet person, and even when I'm the house person I manage to experience some big change in the things ruled by the sign.

Ones I'd rather live without:

😘Fun Fact I dated someone with the same exact birthday as me. Another fun fact it was toxic lmao. What does that have to do with synastry, well let me tell ya. That meant me and this individual acted like mirrors in a way to each other, I was the more timid one (speaking that my rising was in Pisces and theirs barely Aries) who acted more upon what seemed to make things balanced, they were the forward one who acted upon emotions/drive. Literally every placement was a goddamn conjunction and if anyone knows anything about astrology, that's not going to automatically balance out. It in fact did the opposite.

🥰Long story short complete conjunctions in a synastry chart is bound to be full of drama. Its what you do with said drama that makes or breaks it.

😘First house synastry makes me want to bite concrete. I have no actual idea why that shit is so hyped up, its just like the 12th but with less awareness about how you or the other person really acts. I don't care what planet you got (or if you the house person the sign), at some point you'll see the bad traits of the person (sign/ planet held there) and not be aware you do the same damn thing.

🥰This one can even more fall into denial quicker as the ego and outside image is heavily involved with this one.

😘Meet you in hell South Node synastry!! For my folks who believe in past lives, this one at all that. I promise you. For my folks who don't, and believe its more of an aspect of younger you. Its still one of my least favorite things to exist. Like there's no reason why I would (logically) want to date (let alone be around) someone who reminds me of past me or a past of me. Yet the pull is so strong I can't help to do so just to eventually split ways. And the split is always over so shit you knew was going to be a problem later on but decided to ignore in hopes it would change.

😘Fifth House synastry. Sorry my folks who like casual relationships/friendships. I hate them shits and guess what sign falls under it for me 🥴. This house is one that represents creativity, and the only thing I wanted to create was distance because I literally couldn't after a while. While my fifth house is personally empty, almost everyone I had Fifth house synastry in had a stellium in the sign.

😘I! Hate! Venus! Synastry! Why? Almost every relationship I had strong Venus synastry. Do you understand what its like to complete idolize or be idolize by someone just for reality to hit when you didn't need it to. Its ass y'all.

😘Personally, honestly, humbly I don't like Aquarius synastry. It falls both my 1st/12th houses, meaning this is either someone with aspects of myself that needa go, or we both too obtuse to see we the damn problem. I also just don't like being one uped in conversations sorry bout it.

😘Pisces synastry. Hate it, goodnight. You would think it would give them same energy as 12th house. It in fact gives the energy of 8th and 12th gone completely wrong. Its either highly emotional and the most codependent thing to exist. Or the most withdrawn and depressing one. Also idk about others there's always something hidden about this type of relationship (I was a side bitch TWICE and didn't even know 🥴)

Random love notes:

😘Leo placements (Big 6) tend to attract folks younger than them.

😘You might have an annoying attraction to the sign of your North Node if it falls into your 4,7 ,8 or 10th house.

🥰You might also attract people into your life that have the sign constantly until you embody it more, then you might have an equal attraction to your both North and South Node signs.

😘Whatever sign falls into your fifth, I promise you y'all better friends than lovers. I've seen it not only with me but other folks.

😘If you have Aqua as your rising (or most prominent sign) look at your 11th house for the types of relationships you end up having.

🥰Whatever planets (asteroids as well) in there will be the themes gone over. Whatever sign is there is the type of person and where you meet them.

😘Personally I believe Geminis and Scorpios make great friends and trash lovers. One wants to be more emotional and the other wants to by pass issues a lot faster.

😘Your 12th house might hint to the relationships that complete you. You may find yourself very attracted to the 12th house sign, especially if your chart ruler there.

😘Speaking of chart ruler, the house/sign holding it has the themes you love and hate the most about your relationships. If any other planets (including Lilith, Chiron and Part of Fortune) are there expect their themes to be hated favorites as well.

🥰9th house Taurus as chart ruler holder: You enjoy the self esteem boost given via the same beliefs had. What you don't like is the stubbornness around how foreign things.

Welp im out of things to talk about and my brain kinda hurting now :) thanks for asking again :)

Hey there, sorry for being a bother but I’ve just keep thing about how khonshu regards the reader as one of the best reigning avatars he’s had in a long time. I know there’s no obvious ages set for them, but I kinda thought of a time line and hopefully you can see where I’m coming from

I imagine that Reader’s age in which she starts her service to khonshu is 19, and ends when she is 25. (Imagine having to put up w him for that long ??aksdjsj- just pure torture) 6 years is an amazing amount of time to develop that relationship and combat skill set. A bonafide moon knight. No wonder Harrow gets all in his feelings when he’s compared to the god’s pedestal disciple. She is a prime example that Age ≠ wisdom, Experience does.

47-51 is when Harrow served Him. Was over the moons god’s shit after 4 years, oof. Reader is 30 by the end of Arthur’s service.

I wanna say Marc is on his 2nd, coming up 3rd year of serving Khonshu. The way he reacts to all the spiritual and supernatural situations that comes with being a Moon Knight just gives off the intermediate level vibe. Reader is 32-33?

But idk to each their own😂

Actually, that's pretty on the nose! Granted, I haven't even committed to a hard set of numbers (so I may have accidently contradicted myself somewhere) but yeah, Reader started from being in her first year of college, 5-6 years roughly speaking because, well, being Moon Knight and a full time student, plus in a very complicated relationship with a god, some classes did not get passed on the first try. She's young when she starts, but she also becomes very passionate about her work as Moon Knight. (Everyone's head cannon is valid, but my personal thoughts are, she ends up loving it more than her 'mundane' life, which is part of why she becomes so skilled despite her age. But she also believes that she needs to be a normal person of society, get a normal job etc etc, plus being an avatar doesn't pay the bills, which is a lot of her personal struggle)

Then maybe one year after graduation when Khonshu revokes her status as avatar. Then he goes on to make a rather impulsive deal with Harrow. (Again, my own HC. Harrow is full of anger and bitterness at the world and the evil in it for reasons, which resonates with Khonshu in that moment because he's very upset at leaving Reader.) Harrow, as he states in the show, likes the power. Likes the vengence. The blood shed. He gives his all to serve the vengence aspect of Khonshu(and, getting in the HC territory here) but not the other aspects. He doesn't get the protective and healer sides of the mood god. He may act compassionate, but he is quick to judge and ruthless in carrying out that judgement. He sees morality as black and white, and not the grey inbetween.

Obviously, this isn't a going to be a long lasting deal. Harrow tries, but when he learns of Ammit after so many years (lets say 4 or so, which is a lot for either mortal or god because its a very tense relationship)of how she wanted to completely blot out evil, that's more his style. And plus, he just can't understand how after all his service, his best attempts at serving Khonshu, the moon god isn't satisfied with him. (Which, HC, he's never going to be, because Harrow was just a replacement in Khonshu's eyes, and not who he really wants.)

So, Khonshu grumbling about his Avatar leaving him (probably an arguement how Ammit is better than Khonshu that really ruffles his feathers, idk) he retreats to his temple to sulk, essentially.

Then he watches as the archeological team gets excited over the find of his temple. Maybe is even a little fond of them because they are (unknowingly) giving him attention and maybe praise that soothes his mood. Then the mercenaries come along, killing these funky little mortals he had been fond of, except Marc tried to stop it. Marc tried to protect them, despite being a mercenary himself. He is vengence, and a protector.

And then a broken, fractured mind that has all the aspects of the moon god in some shape or form (HC: while all three alters have varying amounts of the different aspects, I think Marc personifies the protector, Steven a kind of healer/protector to Marc, and Jake Vengence.)

And then yeah, 2-3 for Marc, who's just getting into the 'I am an avatar of an ancient god. This is now my life' phase. He is tired of it, but has come to terms with the insanity, and literally nothing can surprise him (until he learns Khonshu had a romantic relationship with a mortal, then he's just...done.)

I really do HC reader being in her 30s in the main story (totally not because of my own age, wtf are you talking about) but also because part of her story was she was a young woman, out in the world for the first time, fell hard and fast for an ancient god before he (to her) just left. A future piece I have written up kinda goes through her struggle in the aftermath of that, and then just as she thinks she had her legs beneath her, everything is starting to become a mundane life she's 'supposed' to lead (while also kind of still hanging on to some of the feelings she had as Khonshu’s avatar) she stumbles into Harrow's plot, and her life becomes chaotic again.

But the thing is, she loves this. It makes her feel like she's truly living again, and that small flame she's carried for Khonshu through the years flares like its been no time at all despite everything. You can head cannon it as true love, the bond, or even just the consequences of an unhealthy relationship (which, if it was real life, it kinda would be, but we ain't getting into that) but she loves him, even after everything. Which is why she is so devoted to him, but cusses him out a lot, because she is still rather confused by everything.

And wow, I should not have answered this ask right before bed. If you can't tell, I've had some of these thoughts bottled up for a while, unable to talk about them. They kinda exploded into a rambly mess. I'm sorry about that.

But yes, you're timeline is virtually cannon. (How the hell did all my rambling come from that very simple question? Oh, yeah, adhd and the need to overshare my passions) I really am sorry about that mess.
