[ashsostrange]

i’m (not) sorry to say, but miles is better off by himself.

idk if i’ve ever written a post this long, but i got energy tonight. y’all have been sucked into the black hole of shipping, so let me ground you and remind you of this amazing thing called being single. i’m gna talk ab margo and gwen, but mostly gwen bc she’s obv miles’ (main) love interest. i’ve said more than enough about why miles and gwen don’t work/make sense. if you wna be enlightened then feel free to click the links.

thoughts on ghostflower: here!

reblogging a moot's post w/ added thoughts: hereee!

i love ranting so let’s get it! 😛

i don't have much to say about margo bc sadly, she's barely there. what i will say though is that as cute as miles and margo would be together, there’s one more movie left lol. the third movie’s gna be busy as hell. there’s literally no time for romance, and to rush miles and margo (two people who just met) into liking each other in, like, a three hour timespan would just be terrible writing. plus, we all know she’s there for some bs having to do with miles nd gwen, which is literally soooooooo very lame, words can't describe. one, where are you finding the time to cram in jealousy/all this angsty romance mess when miles’ dad is ab to die and the universe is ab to collapse bc of a nigga that looks like the lovechild of a cardboard box and a cow?? two, is this really all margo is here for?? to make gwen jealous or “help miles realize he’s in love with gwen” ?? shameeee, like summer said. 😐 i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: margo could be SO much more than a disposable love interest!!!

gwiles/ghostflower fans, i’m going to tell you something that will make you upset. i said i was coming for you and i meant it 🗣️‼️

before you yell at me and push smoke out of your ears, i need you to put your right hand on your chest and close your eyes. you feel your heartbeat? good. now, count to three while taking deep breaths and remember that none of this shit is real so you’d look stupid af trying to attack me. 🙃 some of y’all are getting TOO comfortable being unnecessarily disrespectful and ion like that lol. don’t try it here bc i’m on another level of not gaf!

listen, even if (when?) gwen and miles team up to save his dad, it won’t change the fact that gwen was keeping some hefty info from miles, yo. she was smiling in jeff’s face and cracking jokes like she didn’t know he was bout to die. y’all gotta be so very real with yourselves. you wouldn’t wna date, let alone be FRIENDS with someone who kept something that big from you, regardless of the circumstances or lack of ill intent. one of the most important people in your life concealing the fact that you’re about to lose another important person in your life is insane.

i’m aware that gwen didn’t tell miles about his dad because she genuinely thought it’d cause mass destruction if he saved jeff. thing is, even if miles knew that, i think he’d still feel betrayed. that’s 100% valid because this is his dad we’re talking about. he just lost his uncle not too long ago, too. i wouldn’t blame miles if he never wanted anything to do with gwen again. i wouldn’t blame bro if he got sick to his stomach every time he saw her. it’d be justified, bc if he never followed her that night, then he wouldn’t have had the chance to save jeff.

my point is that you can be a “good person” and still fuck up bad enough to make someone never wna speak to you again. miles is a sweetheart so he’ll probably forgive gwen. my thing is, miles forgiving gwen doesn’t mean the two of them are obligated to be friends again. they can handle it maturely, go their separate ways, nd never speak again. it’s really not even gna hurt y’all cuz it’s the last mf movie anyway??? 😭😭

if it isn’t clear by now, i don’t want miles and gwen together at all. they have no business being around each other frl 🙃 not as friends and definitely not as lovers. like, sure, that one scene where they’re swinging/talking on the bank was my absolute fav. it was cute. i shipped them before i really thought about it. that scene is still my fav, but my adoration for it isn’t gna stop me from keeping it real.

i really don’t care what anyone says or how in love they think these two are, this isn’t a “forgive and forget” situation. if the writers truly wanted gwen and miles to be involved romantically, then not only should they have structured their dynamic better, they shouldn’t have made gwen the person she was in this movie. love, love, LOVE redemption arcs because it’s a reminder that we're human and we're flawed, but you can’t redeem yourself from that. sorry. (not) i say miles should leave that girl alone 🤷‍♀️ leave all potential girls alone ffs.

in conclusion, it’s okay for miles to be single. he's 15 anyway, it's not like he'll die without a girl. i’m the suckiest sucker for anything to do with romance, but characters in film/animation don’t need to have love interests for a project to be considered good. if you feel like it does, then maybe ts you’re watching just sucks, lmao. a girl and a boy can be friends without one having feelings for the other, or both of 'em having mutual feelings. (in the media idk ab irl..) it’s time to stop forcing ts. please.

and it’s okay y’all, i promise you. it’s okay if miles and gwen don’t end up dating. it's okay if they reconcile and stay friends. it’s okay if they reconcile and don’t stay friends. though unlikely, it’s also okay if miles doesn’t forgive gwen at all! resolutions like these go to show that you can “forgive” someone without letting them have access to you anymore. that’s what miles needs to do. straying away from the “happy ending” everyone is expecting would be nice. it’d be a different approach and a realistic way to complete the franchise. (i’m not just saying this bc i love angst)

but before the gwiles (ugly ass ship name btw) fans start throwing up and telling me to end my shit, it’s 99% unlikely that anything i just stated will actually happen. we’re more than likely getting a kiss between miles and gwen, nd that’s bc the writers are probably high off the same dope they were on when they wrote gwen sneaking in thru miles’ window, j for his parents to be way more calm about it than any other normal parent would be. i could say some more about certain scenes but that's for another night.

miles doesn’t need to be with anyone. especially not gwen when it comes down to it.

oh and i HATE peter b. fuck that nigga. he was nun but an extra in this movie and i know he’s an opp in the next. 🙎‍♀️

that’s all! if you read allat then thanks, cuz i wrote a lot. if you're feeling angry, then go for a walk. this isn’t a place for any typa criticism bc i am right, therefore, i am not requesting confirmation. 🙌 i said what i said. have a good night.

[roobylavender]

ok so since @arkham asked (ily) i'm gna go into more detail about my issues with atsv but disclaimer beforehand that most of this will not be as coherent as i want it to be bc frankly i found the messaging of the movie to be very contradictory itself and when trying to reason through the logic of it often found myself musing in circles lmao..

let's start with the multiverse aspect. this plot point frustrates me bc it presents us with the illusion of choice. what i mean by this is that there is no other logical way for miles to respond to the multiversal dilemma bc logically and emotionally it only makes sense to rebel against predestination. i mentioned the illusion of choice in my book review for bloodmarked by tracy deonn, and my complaint there was that the mc was written to look like it was up to her final choice and say to cut herself off from her ancestors bc their line had been poisonous to her all along, as one of her ancestors had contracted with a demon. but what the audience was presented with was merely the illusion of choice. there was no other logical option presented but for the mc to cut herself off otherwise she would always be at risk from the demon that had cursed her bloodline. abandoning her ancestors for the sake of her new white friends was posited as logical when it was a choice the mc was driven into at all costs bc there was no other way the story could move forward without it. and to bring it back to atsv, i feel the same way here, bc when presented with that "choice," of either relenting to the algorithm or rebelling against it, what other option is there? the way the multiverse is framed as this fabric of complete and total prediction to which all spider-men are bound leaves little room for anything else to be explored. and it's odd bc there's a brief moment where peter reinterprets it all in a way explicitly distinct of the way miguel does—life happens, sometimes people die and the circumstances are completely out of our control, but that does not holistically control our life moving forward, beautiful things still happen, we still possess hands capable of saving others, we are not frozen in time by the death of someone we love and we carry them with us as much as we move on from them—but it's fleeting and never brought up again bc obv peter has to side with miles. so the movie even presents an opportunity for nuance but quickly waves it off and proceeds forward with its two polarizing views embodied by miguel and miles

and idk.. i can't really wrap myself around the ideology of any of it. obv cape comics are used to explore things that do not make sense happening in the real world but multiversal stuff is where it tends to lose me bc in real life there is no way to predict what happens in the future. you cannot realistically operate by knowing what happens in the future or in a parallel universe. you have to operate on instinct and principle and faith and sometimes that has to be enough bc you're mortal. you will die, people you love will die, there is no escaping it and there is no immortality and there is no possible way for you to save every person ever in danger. learning to accept that is key to being a hero bc despite knowing all of that you still try. you still do what you can for the people you can reach. and for the movie to make it into this thing where you are made beholden to the future and presented with the option of either accepting it or fighting against it feels so restrictive to me bc it turns heroism into something reactionary rather than principled. like we talk a lot about how it's not healthy for batman to move through life merely trying to prevent his parents' deaths in the form of other people bc it restricts the scope of what he is actually capable of doing. and in a loose sort of way i think the same thing applies here. which is funny bc the way the argument is framed in the movie it looks like it agrees with that, it looks like it's trying to say you can't mark yourself by the tragedies of your life and have to be principled and save people no matter what, but again, it's the illusion of choice. what miles is being presented with is no longer a tragedy that already happened, but now one that it is in his hands to either let happen or prevent bc it is fated to happen either way. what's past is postured as what's future and now you are restricted to moving about the world like you only have two options of how to move through it. so yes, miguel is wrong, but i think it's convenient for him to be so wrong bc it's the only way miles can actually be right. if that makes sense

the copaganda obv ties into all of this and makes it even more insidious but one moment in particular that really infuriates me is when miles asks gwen about her dad and how she can be okay with all of this and it's so.. clearly this kind of sly gotcha wherein she's shamed for not feeling as strongly opposed to her father's death—a feeling which very likely ties strongly into the way he nearly arrested and shot her at the start of the movie—compared to miles bc in that moment her dad is the "bad" cop and his dad is the "good" cop who is obv worth saving. like i've perused a lot of arguments pushing back against designating the film as copaganda and all of them seem to boil down to "well miles's dad is a good person!" and it's like yeah.. obv.. that's what the good cop trope is. it prevents you from holistically critiquing the system bc the hope of at least one person within it being good gives credence to the idea that more people within it can also be good. so on the surface the movie's ideology is simply about saving "good" people, but when you make "good" cops the face of "good" people, you're very facetiously propping up an entire institution and failing to even holding it accountable for its very serious crimes. and that's something further hammered in when miles's dad toasts to a rest in power mural of his dead brother while celebrating being made into police captain, and when gwen says the mask is her badge bc this is the only way she can think of how to convince her father that she's not bad, by posturing herself as adjacent to the law despite the fact that vigilantes are specifically operatives outside of the law who at their best are capable of doing things and extending empathy that law enforcement are not

and then i have a minor issue with every character outside of gwen and miles and peter b feeling really generic but like. that's not on my mind as much comparatively lmao

feast

(( the hunger games au ))

pairing: lumax (a first for me! but i have plans for steve in ch 2 and ofc eddie is gna be tossed in somewhere at some point)

a/n | idk i've been obsessed with max lately and then max as enobaria (one of my og babies) popped into my head, and then this scene popped into my head, so here we are. pls take head of warnings bc this one is graphic (but you'll find that on ao3 i'm not posting the graphic shit here) anyway idk if you've read thg back in the day talk to me about it i have a lot of feelings ??

warnings | major character death, graphic violence, this is kids killing kids in an arena like this shit is rough, mutated insects, gore, more detailed trigger warning on ao3 (none of these apply to the sweet part here)

“We have this thing called the Shell Ball once a year back home. It’s one of those dumb dances, you know, where everyone dresses in their best clothes and we listen to music from the Capitol and everyone gets to dance and pair up and stuff. It’s always on the beach instead of school and they set up this big dance floor there so you can watch the sunset over the water while you dance.”

Max worked at wrapping her leg in the gauze Billy had sent down to her as she spoke. He’d followed it with a large thermos of hot soup, the kind Max had liked while they were on the train traveling into the Capitol, which Lucas was sipping on across from her. She had a nasty gash on her leg from the fight she’d been in with the girl from six; it hurt like a bitch and needed to be wrapped to keep from any dirt and grime getting into it. 

Luckily for her, the Capitolites were obsessed with her romance with Lucas, and Billy was sending her down the multiple items a day he managed to secure from the sponsors she had pouring in. Each note that came with it was a bit of encouragement to keep going, to give the people what they loved to see, and she never paid much attention to them.

But it's so fucking..... grrr like what kind of a stupid bullshit garbage trash shit stain pathetic worthless scum of the Earth country is this? like the dumbass bitch cunt human garbage prime minister and a bunch of other politicians are out here crying and losing their heads over. no I don't even want to say that, they're lying and we all fucking know they're lying. Like these worthless fucking worms are out here trying to distract from genocide by pretending like they're offended that some ppl walked past a hospital. Like I really don't even know what to say anymore, no amount of words, no scope of words will cover how reprehensible and vile these fucking... like.. I don't even know what to call them? devils? is that what they are? devils from hell? do they only exist to increase human suffering? like what even fucking is this anymore

like yeah I already said this would be incoherent but! grrr I'm struggling to even comprehend how vile these monsters are.

Like, oh, you spineless, hateful, warmongering منافقين minafiqeen are "disturbed" by someone climbing the side of a hospital and waving a flag for a few minutes... I can't even finish this thought

right?

like it's too fucking obvious it's too fucking..

like, everyone knows where this is going right? like and those bastards have to know too, of course they do! gd I'm struggling to even contain my rage. the fucking lack of humanity the hypocrisy the fucking farse of it all. what's there to even say?

You dogshit cunts are out here feigning outrage at FUCKING NOTHING happening NEAR a hospital while fucking cheering on dozens of hospitals getting blown up and shot at where REAL FUCKING PEOPLE are actually being killed and fucking maimed, fucking children, the elderly, the injured, medical staff, everybody and anybody, they're all fucking human beings

[justfor2am]

2-8, 16, 17, 23, 26, 29, 37, 47, 49, + 50 for the ask game 4 writers or whatever the name is? u rbed it like .5 hours ago i think n i was gna send questions when u originally did but ive had a shit day so i didn't get to until now 😓 don't feel pressured to do them all btw since theres a lot of them!! n also for any of them w specific fics feel free to do whatever fic u want :3

HELLO you are my favorite ever. actually. omg. i hope you feel better soon, i answered all of them btw so i hope this helps

2 not rpf, not beta read, angst, hurt/comfort, yeah that all tracks 100%

3 touching…. big on non-verbal communication acting as whole conversations, big on flowery language (i'm trying to cut back so as to not seem pretentious lol) also scarian. i just wanna write about scarian. they are my everything i must put them into every scenario ever.

4 in 7th Sense how i named all the andriods. scar is GT-2319, numerical code for GTWS. doc, pearl and ren all have similar naming themes lol

5 i'll befriend you in reverse, why the hell is scar stuck in the woods? despite being a powerful fae, he can't leave the enchanted woods, they're like a physical part of himself that has its own sentience and desires. essentially, a deal he made when he was young turned sour, and now the forest follows him everywhere. the woods want scar to live as long as possible, because he's what keeps the woods alive.

6 so soon enough, you'll find you never knew me at all this fic could be seen as a companion to another i wrote, where grian's the second ever Watcher to be "born" and not "chosen". the "void" scar sees in grian? it's a Watcher-side effect.

7 a million dreams for the world we're gonna make, again lmao. this was my first ever HC fic, and i sometimes find myself thinking about that lonely citadel grian's floating on in the middle of the void, akin to a giant bird cage for him to grow up in, alone.

8 It's Never Enough by we are the dirt, i'm really tired rn but i'd be happy to go into why this BANGS if you'd like tmmr

16 idk if you can tell, but i am in fact an enjoyer of actor au!s. give me more, actually.

17 this is a fic i've been TRYING to write but chapter 2 eludes me still: grian's an avian in a world that fears and despises hybrids, he grew up raised by vexes because the rest of his nestmates and mother were slaughtered before he was born, he grows up causing minor problems for human villages to pass the time until he's eventually caught by a trapper, scar. here's chapter one

scar's a vex hybrid himself, but hides it in order to scam his way through life. grian, trapped, is now at the mercy of a mad scientist who, in his desire to quell society's fear of hybrids, wants to dissect him. grian blackmails scar into helping him stay alive and tries to escape, eventually the two finding common ground.

oh, also mumbo's the mad scientist. he makes dioramas of mobs and decorates his lab with them for fun.

23 honestly, a proper superhero au. at least a one shot, but specifically for the romantic tension.

26 no dialogue, easy. honestly i kinda wanna write one with no dialogue just as a challenge.

29 i made a couple of playlists for my actor au, here's some notable songs from grian's and scars':

grian: Don't Assume What You Don't Know by Grace VanderWaal jealousy, jealousy by Olivia Rodrigo You Stupid Bitch by girl in red

scar: SCOOP by Lil Nas X feat. Doja Cat Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High by Arctic Monkeys Boyfriend by Dove Cameron

(again, very sleep, happy to go into more detail later)

37 skeleton is the best fucking fic i've ever written and i will forever stand by that. yes it's short. yes it's a one-shot. please don't let that deter you, it's the best scar characterization i've ever done in my life. read it. please.

47 though i've closed my eyes, i know who you pretend i am is a pair of steel-toed boots. once perfectly shined and polished, a seemingly important royal crest stamped on the outer skin of the tongue, but the silver has seen better days, worn down from exposure to the elements. still, they are well loved, the original, now somewhat ratty laces tied in double knots, a bow on each shoe still low enough to threaten tripping. these shoes are still in continual use, despite being told a fancier pair would be a smarter choice. no, he quite liked these ones, thank you very much.

49 i'm meant to be working on chapter 19 of my actor au, butttt i've not started so have some bullshit i just came up with instead:

The pair had set up rules for a good reason.

"You're staring again."

One of them had a inclination towards a poor memory.

"Is that a crime?"

Grian could only hope Scar would try and remember.

"It's about to be."

50, answering 25 as a cheeky bonus: https://www.onelook.com/ is a GODSEND. the thesaurus page? heavenly.

[got a question?]

[noxtivagus]

how do u interact w ppl again >////<

[attourney-at-lycan]

i wna talk about my ocs! they’re just small concepts but they’ll be under bc im somehow really embarassed about my ocs. so warning if u dont like oc stuff giygrfyueiwuy (these characters take place in a ... second? rewrite where i morph the plot/lore where they all fit bc this is all self indulgent) im gna reblog this for each character to make this a little bit easier? bc i might... spam on them too... much?

GENESIS ACORSO *human & jo9 member

so first up i have genesis! she’s one of my favorites so far. she’s a jury of nine. she’s not v liked? i mean this as a public figure. 

she’s the one that zane goes to when he wants a dirty job to be done, a true puppet. 

this is bc with the other jury members, he’s either had to pay for them to join him or he’d have to blackmail them into doing his dirty work or other reasons that make them loyal but still untrustworthy. 

take ivy for example, she probably enjoys her job (maybe a bit too much) and then there’s jeffory, whom he blackmailed into staying. (i think. idk its sMTHN along those lines)

with genesis, it’s different. she was raised from a child to be a weapon basically. her family, the acorso family, are known for having the strongest and most productive guards. they’ve prevented horrible tragedies from happening yaddah yaddah. 

however, they were taught w/o morals, almost like empty and dangerous puppets to do anyone’s bidding.

growing up, her mother would remind her daily “we are weapons. we cannot afford to have attachments, only enemies.” she was taught to listen to anything her future.... ‘boss’ would tell her to do and it was dishonorable to disobey orders.

this makes genesis the perfect go to for zane when he wants a specific job done quickly and quietly.

so far, i have planned for her is- her relationship with jeffory and katelyn. i love the concept of people with different morals just chilling together. 

genesis has a sorta curiosity? with him. she’s never truly been around someone who was as kind hearted as him? she thinks he’s not fit as a member of the jury and thinks it’s a pity someone like him is in this place. 

jeffory feels pity for genesis because she’ll never understand what amazing things the world has to offer. it’s not a secret how children of the acorso family are raised so, he sorta feels bad that she had to grow up in such a strict and warped environment. 

their interactions usually consist of jeffory trying to be friendly and genesis shooting him down. 

also, sometimes he’s sorta her consciousness during missions?

for example, if she’s about to do something cruel, per say.... killing an innocent bystander because they saw too much, jeffory would try to reason with her, keep her from killing that person until they run away or he manages to convince her. 

i feel so fucking bad for jeffory for having to deal with her plssss.

do i think she likes jeffory? i think so? or i mean.. at least she finds him favorable? basically if she had to kill him, she’d hesitate. at least that’s what she thinks.

with katelyn, they..... constantly fight. i think she’s the only person so far who’s gotten genesis to show any emotion other than slight annoyance. she’s gotten genesis to get pissed pissed. this is because i think genesis sorta respects katelyn’s strength? they’ve sparred a lot and their scores are always even (yes, they keep score). also yeah genesis has pissed off katelyn way too many times. they just at each other’s throats constantly with snide remarks to the side. but zane puts them in missions together a lot bc their teamwork is remarkable.

and uhhh I THINK THAT’S ALL MY BRAIN CAN MUSTER ON GENESIS RN?

here are some tiny facts from the top of my head.

strong mommy issues

i do have a “faceclaim” for her and it’s casca from berserk bc fuck she’s so pretty

her sense of humor is.. nonexistent. she’ll easily make a funny situation into a serious one.

she surprisingly gets along well with ivy. ivy always goes to place to complain about anything while they spar or while genesis is getting ready for bed

if someone were to ask for her opinion on irene she’d give a generic vague answer but doesn’t personally believe irene was a goddess

has a pretty big family all scattered throughout the ru'aun region (and later on the tu’la region) serving different people of power

she’s a magicks user which makes one of the few acroso family members to have magic. (i just................. have to find out what that power is)

i dont know what weapons she uses which means i dont have a title for her yet. but im thinking she either uses a flail or a polearm

also these are her picrews! i think she’s pretty hot ngl. she keeps her hair short because she can’t be bothered to spend time on her hair when she could be out training. the white streak is there for........cool character design purposes idk i just love characters w/ gray/white streaks and once again, these ocs are for self indulgent purposes.

The Astrology of Yoosung Kim

So, this is the start of a series of posts where I analyze the charts of the mystic messenger character bc astrology and mysme invade my brain and its rly good practice to nail the concepts down. I'll be going thru each placement explaining what it means as best I can, hopefully providing a good picture of what astrology tells us about their life.

This is not rly designed to be accurate for each character. I won't be using headcanonned placements, but the actual chart that comes out when I input their birth date and place into a chart software (which is astro.com). I think one of the coolest things abt this lil project is when the chart Does end up being accurate with the events of their life or the game.

Let me explain for a minute how I determined the year they were born: I did it by subtracting their INTERNATIONAL age (which is the age they'd turn the year the game takes place, as its always one more than their korean age) with 2016, which is the year the game was launched and thus the earliest year it could take place in... we don't have a year and I needed a reference. I had to make do.

ALSO disclaimer: I'm not an expert or a professional of astrology. Just someone who's into it a little too much and decided to do this for pure fun. I may be wrong in some of these interpretations but that's bc I'm still learning. (also if it matters to anyone, all these will be from a traditional westernastro perspective as that's the one I roll with)

The only placement that's a headcanon here is the ascendant (and, derivatively, every house placement), so that's the one thing that can be debated and honestly I'd love to hear what other takes are out there for their rising signs :) anyway lets talk about Yoosung now. Decided to do him first bc his chart is pretty cool.

(read more bc it's very long: buckle up besties)

Okay, so here's the chart: He was born, using the calculation method I just described, on March 12th 1996. The rising sign I chose form him, Sagittarius, makes him born at around midnight.

The basics: He has the sun in cancer 4H at 21 degrees. he also has a stellium (planet cluster) in this house. Should point out tho that the other planets in the house are gna have a reduced influence/functionality due to how close they are to the sun, but I’ll get into this later.

His moon is in sagittarius 1H conjuncting pluto and the ascendant. It’s not a strong conjunction but since this Is the 1H, the area of the chart that represents Him, it’s still a wildly important planet. His ascendant is also in sag and conjunct pluto, as mentioned.

He was born during the night, which makes Venus the most benefic planet. It’s in the 6H of health and illness, subordinates, and pets, so that’s basically the luckiest part of his life. Saturn is the most malefic planet, conversely, and it’s in the 4H of home and family, so that’s the most problematic area of his life when activated. Will talk more about this later when I get to these houses.

(that's saturn I'm signaling in the left idk if u can see. anyway)

Ok now let’s get into what all of this means, starting with the 1st house and the asc. The ascendant is just the eastern horizon, and the sign that was there at the moment of his birth (in more abstract terms, when his soul entered his body basically) becomes his rising sign and, in the whole sign house system, the sign of the entire 1H.

This sign becomes THE key sign to understand him as a person. His general disposition, personality, approach to life, how he interacts w the world around him, etc. The common themes that color his life can all be found here, in the sign and planets.

The 1H also shows us his physical appearance and how he chooses to present himself physically. Taking into account the fact that the unit of the birth chart is the life of a person and not the person’s psyche, the 1H is the place where we find the person themselves. Everything here, as well as the ruler and its condition, tell us who he is as a person.

He’s a sagittarius rising. Sag is a mutable fire sign ruled by jupiter. It’s kind of like a wildfire. Being mutable, sag responds to its environment. It adapts to the situation, reacts to what is presented to it. As a fire sign, its concerned with action, it’s highly energetic and wants to DO with what he has.

Being ruled by Jupiter, sag is expansive and generous, explorative. The best way to describe sag and especially sag rising, is the feeling of being on a quest. Life is an adventure but more importantly, a journey to seek truth. Sag risings approach situations as if they were on a mission. They're not methodical but definitely driven to make the most out of every experience, try everything at least one. They’re open-minded to sometimes an extreme, there’s this hunger for experience, novelty, and enjoyment.

So basically, he’s a fun guy whose openness and optimism can be mistaken for naivety sometimes, but it’s key to understand that to him, every experience is part of his mission, his seek for truth. He wants to know the world and thus won’t say no to most things. Not because of guilt, but because he sees more worth in saying yes.

That’s his approach to the world, and also how the world approaches him. His life has been a series of experiences that have taught him things, and that’s what constructed his disposition. He’s the kind of guy who’s up for anything anytime and has insane stories, and will urge you to try what you never imagined.

There are 2 other things we have to talk about too if we want to understand him tho: the moon and Pluto. Particularly Pluto.

Being conjunct his asc, it has the bigger influence. It makes his life, other than a cycle of exploration, a cycle of transformation. Likely, there's been moments in his life where he’s undergone intense transformations, becoming a new person basically. A lot of death and purging is involved here, sometimes quite literally. Pluto conj asc can sometimes even indicate death in the early life of the native.

Conjuncting the moon also, Pluto brings all this to the managing of his emotions and inner world, too. Often, his emotions can feel all-consuming, like when he’s feeling something it’s an all-or-nothing, and he expresses them in this way too. His inner world is intense, deep, sometimes difficult to control, most often than not transformative. Because this is in the 1H, these emotional transformations often manifest in his person, either in his looks or personality or both.

Now let’s talk about the moon itself. U can probably guess by now that it’s the internal world of the person, so to speak. It’s more like the emotional nature; how we experience and manage our feelings, and more importantly, our emotional needs. The moon’s sign represents the things we need to do or have in our life to feel okay, and the house is where we express that.

As a sag moon, the stuff he needs is all that was in the asc description: exploration, a mission, to try what’s new, to say yes, to have options, to live freely without any restraints, have the possibility to explore. And being in the 1H, his emotional needs are very much expressed in his person. He doesn’t hide, shows his emotions freely. Whatever he feels, you’re gonna know just by looking at him.

If there’s a planet on the 1H, the native also tends to embody that planet. So he is, besides all these things, a man of emotional nature, with sometimes shifting moods, and also an enjoyer of routine and what’s familiar (which in this case happens to be the seek for the unfamiliar, lil contradiction there). He’s almost motherly in a way too, concerned with protecting that which he loves. He’s a nurturer. And with Pluto here, this is all expressed with great intensity.

But, what does this tell us about his appearance? Since the 1H is also the physical body.

He looks… friendly, to say the least. Approachable. Like a stranger you’d trust to hold your phone. Sag risings have this open look to them, like their face is spreading out from the center, and they usually love to smile. He’s recognizable thanks to his smile and laughter, which is wide and bright. Pluto may give an “extreme” element to his looks, either in his presentation or his looks, like having very dark hair and very light skin, for example. Pluto also tends to give quite intense stares, like he’s staring into your very soul or something.

I’m also gna take into account his jupiter (ruler of the 1H) in capricorn and say he probably has very defined bones thanks to cap influence. He’s kinda bony and maybe even tall and lean. The moon also may soften his expression a bit, keeping the openness and the intensity but adding a layer of tenderness.

Let me stay at the ruler of the 1H for a bit: it’s in the 2H, which is the house of resources and finances, basically how he gets money and whatever else he needs to live and what he does w that. The placement of the 1H ruler can tell us where the native exactly gets influence for their identity, and in this case, a lot of who he is is based upon what he has. He doesn’t equate his self-worth per se with his possessions, but rather builds his identity around that. “I have this therefore I am this.” Might also try to express himself thru possessions. What he has reflects who he is.

Now that I’ve started talking about the 2H, let me stay there for a bit. As I said, it’s the house of resources, how we get them and what we do with them. His 2H is in Capricorn, with its ruler (saturn) in the 4H. He also has Neptune and Jupiter in there. Kinda cute tbh.

Capricorn, being cardinal earth and saturn ruled, is basically the definition of diligence. It sets boundaries for practicality. It plans ahead, looks to the future and prepares. It’s protective but in a somewhat stoic, exclusive material.

So, basically, he’s diligent with his money. Thinks deeply on what to save and what to spend. He invests. When making a purchase, he considers how it's going to impact him in the future. Not one for impulse purchases, definitely one to always keep a strong savings account.

...Or at least, that’s what he aims for.

Neptune is here, adds a layer of confusion to the matter of finances or resources. This planet blurs the edges of everywhere it goes, disconnects from reality. It could be that at first, or when this planet is activated, the matter of finances becomes foggy and confusing. It’s like he has an idea of how to do it but can’t rly execute it, although there are moments where he pulls through, when the benefics start doing their job.

Looking at Jupiter being here w a trine to venus, the sect benefic, this confusion is unlikely to fuck up his finances big time. This is a blessing from the heavens, basically. He’s not gonna have many experiences where he lacks resources. On the contrary, he’s probably gonna have them in abundance, and always be willing to help others out with that excess.

Saturn (the ruler) in the 4H tells us also that he likely gets his resources thanks to his family. Either through working at some family business, or getting a job thanks to a family member. Whatever the case, these 2 houses are intrinsically connected.

As to what he spends his resources on, it’s definitely stuff that will help him in the future, or stuff to better his home life. When this house is activated, he might invest in real estate. He could also spend money on education or travel or donate it, all Jupiter things.

Let’s move on to the 3rd house now, which is where we find siblings, the act of communication in its many forms, elementary education, and everything we do routinely. Errands and short-distance trips, as well as people who are familiar to us, like our neighbors. He has this in Aquarius, with the ruler once again in the 4H, and Uranus is also here with a square to Venus (but I’ll interpret that from a venus perspective since it’s a personal planet).

Aquarius is fixed air and ruled by Saturn. It holds the same strictness as Capricorn but now apply that to the world of human interaction instead of tangible things. As an air sign, Aquarius is intellectual and concerned with ideas. Being fixed, these ideas are unchanging. But with Saturn as its ruler, they’re on the topic of rules and order. How everything works. Aquarius is a sociologist and often thinks ahead about how systems can be better. Often perceived as unique and unconventional because of this.

The 3H is the first house (coming from the 1st) that doesn’t directly concern the ascendant. Yoosung may not be exactly like this towards his siblings or neighbors or ppl he has to see often in general, but THEY could be like this. Forward-thinkers with original ideas about the world.

Smth else could be that he went to an “unique” school, one that used unconventional methods of education. With Uranus here, I would also say that technology was a big element there too. His teachers or classmates could also have embodied this energy.

It could also be that technology (with Uranus) shows up often in his short-term trips. Maybe he has an electric car or something. Applying the Uranian influence, it could also be that his routine environments are somewhat unconventional.

Uranus could also mean that sometime in his elementary school he’s had a sudden change. Maybe transferring schools out of nowhere. Or it could be that such a thing happens with the ppl he’s incidentally around, or in the topic of short-term travel. Maybe he starts biking out of nowhere or smth when this house is activated.

In the topic of communications, it could be that he has an unconventional writing or talking style, or that a lot of his communication is done thru technology, more than is usual, or that what he communicates produces strong reactions in people. Makes them think in a way they haven’t thought before.

All of these are likely, really. Astrology has different ways of presenting itself depending on the person’s life circumstances.

Ok so: 4th house. We’re gonna stay here a while. There is a LOT to go through.

Starting off with the sign: Pisces. It’s mutable water and ruled by Jupiter. Like Sag, it reacts and moves, but now, because it’s water, more concerned with the emotional realm. This is where the spiritual nature of Jupiter comes out, it’s about the personal connection with whatever’s beyond, and it’s generosity is more focused towards the underdog and the outcast than ever before. There’s an element of selfless service to it.

Pisces wants to unify, it wants to blend. It’s mist, the farthest from the material, which is why often Pisces placements are found indulging in fantasy. This, beigh in the 4H, makes for a very loving family environment, where the love given was unconditional and the care was constant. It could also be that Yoosung’s parents and ppl that lived with him were unafraid to be sensitive. It’s possible that this easy love was what gave him his optimistic outlook towards life.

The 4H, as stated, is the house of home and family, but it’s also where we keep our secrets. It’s the most private area of our lives, who we are when we’re 100% comfortable. It’s the comfort zone, whatever makes us feel safe. For Yoosung, that’s emotional openness and indulgence as well as the idea of unity. Having the sun here, this is the area where he gets his ego boost, so to speak.

The sun is one’s ego and vitality. It’s the conscious self as well as our baseline. Think of it as an engine: the thing that makes all other parts of the machine (in this case, planets in a chart) work. It’s what everything orbits around. The sun’s sign is what we aspire to be, the values that guide our life. For Yoosung, that's to be emotionally in tune with the world around him, to connect and to help unite. He’s empathetic and looks beyond what’s seen.

The house of the sun is where that vitality is expressed. It’s quite literally where you shine. He shines in his family environment, feels a deep connection to them and they feel a great love from him too. He is a family man through and through, as that group is quite literally his force of life.

His sun is also conjunct Saturn and Mars (both which are “under the beams”). This blends the energy of the sun with that of both planets. With the Mars conjunction, his vitality is very often also expressed physically or through action. Physical activity, sometimes everything involving competition, excites him and makes him feel alive. He’s a man of action, enjoys the thrill of confrontation, a friendly competitor. Loves the rush.

However, with Saturn conjunct the sun, this gives an element of restriction or perhaps a delay to the expression of his identity. Like his confidence will be gained later in life, and he will build a sense of identity as he grows older. It’s likely that, when he was younger, he felt like there were restrictions in place that messed with his expression (perhaps coming from the family, as this is the 4H, or his resources, as the ruler is in the 2H), but as he matured he overcame these or learned to work with them. This also gives a structured quality to his expression, a somewhat methodical approach.

Staying in Saturn here for a bit: it’s the planet of hard lessons and restrictions. Being in Pisces it can mean that those lessons have been in the area of fluctuating emotions and maybe even imagination, as if he was afraid of being too “in the clouds.” However, being under the beams of the sun, that means invisibilized by its light, these lessons might not have come through or even been there.

It’s also the out-of-sect malefic, making it the most problematic planet in his chart. Things are not gonna go very smoothly for him when this house is activated and it may even be the most troubled area in his life. Besides all the love and care going around his family, there are restrictions that don’t go through and things unsaid that may ultimately estrange his relationship with them. Or it could be the subject of a physical home that is hard for him, as if he finds it difficult to acquire property, maybe again due to something relating to his resources.

However, due to this planet’s energy being overshadowed by the sun and Jupiter trine Venus having an effect over it, I wouldn’t say his issues are shit terrible. They’re problems that look bad but then get solved and everything goes back to normal once the benefics start doing their job.

Saturn is also trining the ascendant. This, in simple terms, means that whatever Saturn is bringing will help Yoosung in his interactions with the world. It could also mean appearance-wise that he ages like fine wine.

Now for Mars, the sect malefic. That doesn’t really mean much here since whatever problems Mars brings (which will be about destruction not restriction) are nothing compared to the issues Saturn brings. in the 4H, this makes his family environment somewhat confrontational. Perhaps accidents with fire are common. Though again, due to being under the beams of the sun, I wouldn't say this happens too often.

Mars, as a personal planet, is our force of action. It’s our method for doing things, who we are at the time of just going for it. It’s naturally brah, our fighting style, and Mars in Pisces brings a rather tender approach to all these things. It acts from down under, it isn’t direct because it approaches things from the emotional dimension. When doing, Mars in Pisces asks “How will this make them or me feel? How will the mood change?” It thinks in broad terms and aims to unify.

It’s also sensitive. It acts thanks to intuitive signals, anything intangible. This sensitivity is quite literal though, and often mars in Pisces champions for the underdog because it can understand their emotions like its own. Often seen as passive since it feels the vibes and reads the room before acting, but that's because its action has to have meaning.

Another planet here is Mercury, which tells us about the mind. How one thinks and sometimes speaks, the processing of information and style of communication. Being in Pisces, his is very abstract. He doesn’t understand things in concrete concepts but rather as a part of something greater, may see the overall messages or pattern and completely skip over the specifics. He understands things by blending the components together.

This all makes it rather hard for him to concretely communicate ideas, and that’s because he attempts to communicate feelings. As long as the message gets through, that's what matters to him. This might make him also communicate with things other than words, like sounds or gestures. Often, words just don’t come to him.

Mercury here and the heavy load of Pisces energy may make him highly appreciate things like music or dance, or any alternative, wordless, emotional method of communication. A lot of the time, he may feel like music or dance communicate what he aims to better than words ever could. He may even be highly adept in these areas, or have family who is, with Mars, the planet of physical action, here.

Mercury is also squaring his moon, ascendant, and Pluto. This is a challenge for the communication of his needs and feelings (moon), he recognizes they’re there but doesn’t know how to communicate them to others. The square to Pluto adds a layer of intensity to his communication, making it slightly threatening. Sometimes his ideas may even be grim or a result of destructive experiences.

His voice, though, may have a whimsical or haunting tone to it. You feel like it's taking you elsewhere. It’s soft and sometimes slow, like calm waters. Because this is in the 4H, he may learn best when at home. But also I’d say that because this planet is 1. under the beams of the sun and 2. in its fall, the area of communication and ideas is not his best.

Overall, there's definitely a lottt going on in his family environment. In part it’s restrictive and confrontational, but also with a back-and-forth exchange of ideas and high mental activity, and where he can express himself. Can feel like the worst place, but also the one he has the most experience with. This is where most of the stuff in his life happens or relates to.

Okay, now onto the 5H, which is in Aries and where we find everything he creates and enjoys. It’s his creative potential, his parenting style, what he does with what he brings into the world and how he brings them. How does he approach that which brings him pleasure?

Aries is cardinal fire and Mars ruled. It’s the first spark to light a fire, quick and swift action, the doing without thinking. It burns bright, but also quick. Which tells us he enjoys that which gives him a rush of adrenaline. He may start projects and not go through with them after the rush has subsided, always looking to keep that spark aflame.

Having the ruler in the 4H, that which he creates usually echoes out into his home life, either by creating it for his family or relating to it in some way or another.

When pursuing someone romantically, he’s direct. He goes for it. He wants to feel alive, feel that spark. He takes the lead and moves quickly, hesitating little. He has a similar approach in intimacy. It’s likely that the ppl who get with him have this feeling that he’s carrying them forward, evading boredom like the plague. It’s all about the rush and the feeling for him.

It may also be that his children are this way, active and direct and very forthcoming. Or that he is this way as a parent. I would say though that this configuration, with the ruler in the 4H, makes him quite a caring father. Everything that he creates, he considers an extension or even a part of his home and family.

Now onto the 6H, which is arguably the best one in his chart. Technically though, it’s regarded as one of the “bad” houses of the chart, since it deals with matters of health and illness and anything that happens to the body, all we have to do to maintain it functional. The 1H is the body itself, the 6H what happens to it. 1H is your hp and 6H is how much damage you take. And with Venys, the sect benefic, in its home sign and trining the other benefic, he’s a tank in every sense of the word.

It’s the house of taking care of one’s needs, of responsibilities, everything that is under our care and how we go to take care of it.

The 6H is also everything that is outside you but beneath you. It’s cadent (before) the 7th, which is where we find other people in his life, so in here we see anything separate from him that is below him. This would mean subordinates and also pets.

It’s in Taurus, which is fixed earth and ruled by Venus. Taurus is the “slow and steady wins the race,” it aims to secure possessions, it’s as unmoving as a mountain. It concerns itself with terrenial pleasures most of the time, things like food and nature, and enjoys the beauty of what’s there. Taurus wants to do things at its own pace and enjoy it while it’s at it.

To sum it all up, he’s a very healthy person. Doesn’t get sick often, doesn’t need to do that much care, he has the chance to rest here. He carries little burdens in these areas: his health is good and he gets well easily, his subordinates (if he ever has them) are loyal, his responsibilities are easy to bear, and his pets don’t have many problems, nor does he have issues with them . It's likely that pets bring a lot of good into his life.

When tackling responsibilities, the worst that can happen to him is being rushed. He needs an environment that is calm and mostly unchanging, that lets him be and do what he has. He finishes what he starts, no matter how long it takes, even if it may take him time to actually set out to do the thing.

When it comes to self care, it’s likely that he prefers stuff that’s natural or familiar, stuff that he knows to work. He is very in tune with his body’s responses to anything physical and tangible, and probably has standards of comfort in place. He wants to feel good and will do what it takes to do so.

Let’s talk about venus: the planet of what and how he loves. It’s what attracts him as well as how he attracts others, what he looks for in relationships and in those things he’s passionate about. Taurus happens to be Venus’s home sign, which makes it also the house ruler.

He’s steady in his passions. Might take him a long time to find something that truly turns him on, but when he does, his passion is as steady and as unmoving as rock. He loves all that which stimulates his senses in one way or another, and these things tend to be physical, anything that can be tangibly held. His love language might be related to food or perhaps some other physical pleasure.

In relationships, he is loyal. His love is also rock steady, and there’s an inherent physicality to the way he loves. His intimacy style is very much sensual and physical. It’s about feeling the love with the senses. He also focuses on ensuring comfort and security.

Unlike the other areas of his life, relationships (and the things he dedicates himself to out of passion) are an area where he wants things to stay the same. He may like constant stimulation but does not, however, like constant change. There can be a possessive quality to his love, an “I will love you forever,” and he expects the same unmoving loyalty from his partner.

Overall, his relationships are kind of a safe haven. Steady, sensual,and fulfilling. Being in the 6H also makes him treat romantic relationships (or anything he’s passionate about) as a responsibility. It’s a 6H matter, something that MUST be taken care of. He shows his love by caring in a practical way. Aside from physical touch, another love language of his could be acts of service. He makes sure his partner’s needs are met, ensuring that both he and them are healthy and secure. Only on those terms can relationships thrive for him.

So, basically, he’s a malewife.

His Venus is making a pretty strong square to Uranus though, so there is the possibility of abrupt changes and general cases of unconventionality coming to his relationships and posing a challenge whenever this planet is activated. With Taurus, Change is already less than desirable, it’s not his style, but this makes it an inevitable wall that he’ll have to learn to get past.

Now onto some more insight about relationships: let’s talk about the 7th house.

In the birth chart, it’s where we find the other person, being completely opposite from the 1H, which is where we find the self. The 7H house responds to the question of “Who are you with?” and often the stuff here doesn’t represent the native themselves but rather where they form close partnerships with.

It’s the place of one-on-one partnerships, people we make commitments to. This could be business partners, best friends, an actual romantic partner, etc. The sign that the house is in tells us what our partners are like and what’s the nature of our partnerships. And it’s always the sister sign of the ascendant, the one 180 degrees away.

His is in Gemini, the mutable air sign ruled by Mercury (and also the sign where Seven and Saeran have a lot of their stuff in just saying). Gemini is the great brainstormer of the zodiac. The most adaptable, out-of-the-box thinker, it wants to figure out what the possibilities are, and has a great capacity to go everywhere, constantly. It’s like the wind: unrestrained and flighty. Communication is important here because it allows for the back-and-forth exchange of ideas, the widening of possibilities.

Those are the characteristics that will define Yoosung’s partnerships in life: intellectualism, conversation, variety. It could be that the people themselves that he connects with have these characteristics, being witty, creative, able to talk about everything with everyone, and adapt their style and personality to the situation. It could also be that the connections themselves are managed like this, and that with every person he partners with, no matter their personality, there is this easy conversation and idea exchange. A contrast to his approach to life, which is, however explorative, ultimately one-track minded.

With Gemini there is also the element of impermanence, constant change, and multiples. It is said that wherever Gemini falls in the chart, the native will have multiple of. 7H Gemini could be, then, multiple partners, connections that don’t last long for whatever reason. Mutable wind moves quickly, changes courses. There has to be this element of back-and-forth and constant movement for the connections to thrive.

The ruler of this house is, once again, in the 4H, which connects his partnerships to his home life. It could be that many of these partners are roommates or become like family to him, or that most of his connections affect his home life in one way or another.

Now, moving onto the 8H, house of shared resources, debts, inheritances, death, all that which is given to another or given to us by another. Sharing in general.

It’s in cancer, which is cardinal water and ruled by the moon. It’s the emotional protector of the sigs, the nurturer. the caregiver. Cancer seeks to shelter that which it cares about. Being water, its approach is emotional rather than practical. It’s the shoulder to cry on rather than the roof on your head.

Whatever Cancer touches in the chart becomes an emotional experience somewhat, your soft spots, and thus the ones you aim to protect the most. Being in the 8H, this makes him sensitive to the topics of debt, reciprocity, and death. It makes him responsible in the management of shared resources: he makes sure nothing goes amiss.

It could also make him emotional, sometimes even nostalgic, about things that are gone. Topics like death and the occult might call to him but also repulse him. It’s an “anyone else but me” kinda situation, interesting when he hears about other people’s experiences but not wanting to experience those himself.

This can also tell us how the people in his life (particularly those in the 7H) manage their resources. They do so in a very felt way, aiming to secure themselves, using material resources as an emotional brace.

In the aspect of sharing, he is more interested in the emotional dimensions more than anything. How is this which he is sharing with the other person bringing them closer, Anything shared might also impact him emotionally, bringing a sense of nostalgia into that which he gave away or was given to him.

The ruler of this house, the moon, is in his 1H, and conjunct his ascendant. This makes whatever goes on in this house-- whatever resources he shares or debts he has or inheritances he gets-- affect his physical appearance, way of interacting with the world, and sometimes even personality. If something is going on here, you’ll see it in him. This also applies to when death ever comes into his life. It has a manifestation in his personality, sometimes changing it (I would say that’s Pluto’s influence).

It could also be (but this is super far fetched), that what the ppl in his life decide to do with their money somehow correlates to his self presentation and personality, echoing out to his 1H and everything that is there.

Now onto the 9H, which is where we find long journeys, one’s philosophy and sometimes religion, and superior knowledge. All that is willingly sought out, journeys that mark a lifetime and knowledge that transcends the basic. It’s also shared knowledge (i.e. publishing).

In simple terms, its college, travel, and beliefs.

It’s in Leo, which is fixed fire and ruled by the sun. Leo is that flame which burns bright and burns constant, but in order to be kept alive, it must be constantly fed. Thus, Leo needs reception, attention, and validation. But what it gets it definitely gives back, as it is the shining beacon. Leo makes itself seen, unable to be ignored, and its inherent confidence becomes a motor to inspire others.

Wherever Leo is in the chart becomes the area where we want the spotlight shined, or where it is shined upon us. So, basically, he’s kind of like a celebrity in his college. Known and recognized, and perhaps also seeking recognition from his peers and mentors (which are more of a 9H topic). This might also happen when he travels, he might find himself in the spotlight and having his ego elevated and confidence boosted.

Having this house in Leo could also mean he’s kind of a preacher when it comes to sharing his philosophy. He knows how to grab people’s attention and make this part of him seen. Whatever it is that he believes in, you will know. It might also be that, again, the spotlight is shined on him in this area, and he gts recognized.

Being a fixed sign, it makes him stern in his beliefs. It might not be hard for him to accept different perspectives, but it definitely makes it hard for him to shift his. The ruler is in the 4H, once again, which makes, in one end, his values and philosophy very akin to that of his family, perhaps also of his culture and country, of his roots in general. It could also make his college environment a comfort zone, a second home, or it could mean he doesn’t go far from home for higher education.

Now let’s talk about the 10H, the house of public image. (also i hit the image limit so this one's gonna have 11 and 12 as well).

It’s the last of the angular hosues, and answers to the question of “what do you do?” In short, it’s who you are in the world. What you’re known for. In our world, that translates to career. The 10H and its sign can tell us what field someone’s in and what kind of job they do there, but more than that, it tells us what they’re like in the job. The qualities associates with the person. Their reputation and legacy.

Here’s also where we find the midheaven, which is the highest point in the observable sky at the moment of birth. It’s quite literally the most visible part of someone. What others know about you before they even know you.

This house is in Virgo, mutable earth sign ruled by mercury. The best way I can describe Virgo is as the red pen making edits to an essay: it fixes. It’s extremely detail-oriented. The way it reacts to its environment is by asking “how can this be better?” It’s constructively critical, oriented towards helping in the most practical manner possible. Having an ideal of what’s in front of it could be, it strives to get as close as possible to said ideal. The perfectionist of the zodiac by excellence, but not in the “picture perfect” way such as Libra, but in a more “trying to make everything the best it can be” way.

This tells us Yoosung has a reputation for being an extremely reliable person. The kind of guy who’s practical and adaptable, can do anything and do it extremely well. When it comes to his image, the way he presents himself to the world, the work that he does, etc. he’s extremely meticulous. He wants to appear as this person who can always be trusted and relied on to do a good job. A perfectionist for sure, but that’s what makes others appreciate him.

He might also be known as an extremely valuable helper, again, because of his keen eye for detail and striving to make everything that he tackles the best it can be. He’s the guy for the job, the ideal supervisor or secretary or perhaps editor. Knowledgeable and diligent. He enjoys feeling useful, caring more about the work being good than getting actually recognized for it.

Of course, this might also mean he puts a lot of pressure on himself when it comes to career. He gets wherever he gets, after all, thanks to a diligently followed routine, a brick-by-brick approach, taking it one day at a time. And due to this perfectionist approach, he might actually be quite hesitant to launch projects of his own, afraid they won’t meet his standards of perfection. If he is a creative, a lot of his stuff will get stalled by this endless amendment cycle, he’s always going to try to make it better. Of course, this helps, in a way, since his work will never be mediocre, but it can also hold him back quite a bit.

This placement could also mean he works in professions related to the sign, which would be anything requiring high amounts of attention to detail. Medical professions, especially surgery, is often associated with Virgo, as well as some kind of editor or perhaps researcher, as Virgo is a mercury ruled sign, after all. His job could have something to do with communication.

The ruler of this house being in the 4th further tells us his job will be connected to his family or home, in some way. Perhaps an architect (4H is also associated with real estate), family doctor, or follow a career path thanks to his family. Perhaps he will be in the family business, whatever that is.

Now onto the 11H (we’re almost done!!!), house of community. Here is where we find friendships, those connections we try to willingly maintain. It’s the house of social life, of groups and organizations as well as fans. The audience for whatever we do on the 10H, an extension of our reputation. Now that you’re known in the world, who are your people?

This is another one of those houses where whatever’s in it might not concern the native, but the people from that area of their life. It could be that this house tells us what Yoosung is like with his friends and in the groups he belongs to, but it can also tell us about what the friends themselves are like.

It’s in Libra, which is cardinal air and ruled by Venus. As an air sign, it is very intellectual and somewhat detached, and being ruled by Venus, planet of diplomacy, this intellectualism is applied socially. Libra goes outside itself in order to understand perspectives other than its own. Represented by the scales, we can infer balance is the ultimate goal of this sign, and it does so by comparison. Every argument has a counterargument, every hero has an enemy, every coin has its flip side. What Libra strives for is to arrive at the middle ground between the opposites, but for that, first, it has to know the foundations of both opposites.

Being Venus ruled also makes it inclined to beauty and art, but in a much more refined way than Taurus: instead of preferring what’s natural and staying in the world of the senses, Libra likes what’s refined, that which is a product of the world of ideas. Constructed beauty. Aesthetics are very important to Libra. It’s about the picture perfect.

So, he’s the pretty friend. The charming one, the kind of guy anyone can get along with. The mediator, he doesn’t start drama but does like to hear about it, not to take sides but to figure out a solution. He tries to see everyone in the group for who they are and relate to them to the best of his ability. He meets people where they’re at, molds himself to them, or sometimes to counter them.

Perhaps many times he has to play this mediator role in his friendships, taking the role of the person who listens and suggests solutions in the most unbiased way possible. Or it could also be that his friends are this way, charming and socially graceful, able to see from multiple perspectives.

Having this house in a Venus ruled sign, it may be that he likes doing artistic group activities. Things like going to the theatre or the ballet or perhaps an open exhibition, maybe he enjoys shopping in a group, everything that blends art and aestheticism with the social. Or that he has friends who do these things, who are fine artists.

He also has two placements here that are worthy of talking about: Chiron and the north node.

Chiron, an asteroid, is known as the wounded healer, similar to the myth it was named after. It tells us about our major wound in life, the thing in the bottom of our soul that most other wounds come from, or that wound which hurts the hardest. But it is also how we heal, the processes that we go through to minimize the pain of the wound and become whole again.

So, it’s the trauma asteroid.

The sign Chiron is in would represent the topic of the wound. For Yoosung, that is company and solitude. Due to certain events of his life, he may have fostered a fear of being alone, feeling like he needs to always be in some sort of relationship or connected to someone in order to feel worthy. As if he isn’t a whole person, and needs someone (or something) to be complete, which makes him always search for answers and healing in other people.

He might fear disharmony, too, making compromises that are actually not good for him. He could also feel like beauty is unreachable for him, like everyone else meets the standard and created beautiful things and lives beautiful lives while he just can’t manage. Or, on the other hand, the topic of connection might be difficult for him, he might feel like he can never truly get through to people and understand them, he can never get to that middle ground like he so desires.

The house Chiron is in can be where the wound comes from, or where in the life it shows up. For Yoosung, that is, unfortunately, friendships. Perhaps it was a friend that he had or a group he was a part of that made him feel this way. It could also be that he always feels like an outcast of sorts in groups, like he never truly belongs, like he needs to prove he’s deserving of belonging. Wounds perdure, after all.

But Chiron is not just the wound, it is also the healing. Ironically, he might be his group's therapist, or healing comes to him in the form of, or because of, a group. Something like a support group might be good for him.

The ruler of this house, Venus, is in the 6H, which could mean his groups and friendships are somehow connected to health. Perhaps they revolve around exercise or diet or some other health-related activity, or maybe it’s pets and small animals. It could also mean he’s friends with his subordinates or that he brings a group mentality to his daily work. Perhaps he’s a member of an union or guild, and his work responsibilities become group activities.

Okay, now we’ve finally, FINALLY made it to the last house: the 12th.

It’s the hiding place. The house of self-undoing, isolation, hidden enemies, secrets that are kept from ourselves, everything unseen basically. It’s where we transcend the physical realm, for better or worse, and go into the mental. It’s our internal maintenance, our subconscious. The part of ourselves we know it’s there but we don’t really wanna look at, as well as things in our life we (or other people) don’t really see.

Scorpio is fixed water and ruled by Mars. As water, it’s dealing with the realm of emotions. Being ruled by mars, it’s centred on action, on fight. But if Aries is the offense, Scorpio is the defense.It acts, but not brashly and quickly, but methodically. Scorpio is a strategist as well as a detective, not concerned with what’s on the surface, but rather with what’s beneath. It will not stop until it finds the core, the roots, the depths.

That’s why Scorpio is often associated with taboos, because it’s interested in what’s hidden. And very often, it goes hard. When Scorpio fixates on something, it won’t stop until it knows everything.

Some topics, you may realize, naturally correlate with 12H topics. The 12H is what’s hidden from us. Scorpio uncovers what’s hidden. So, with 12H Scorpio, there is often a fear or a blindspot to the emotional depths of the subconscious. Like, it’s there but we like to pretend that it isn’t. The heavy, the intense, the deep, is concealed by or from the native. Isolation is a rather dark activity, as it involves facing these depths. Hence the naturally exploratory and lively nature of the Sag rising. It’s not like they’re trying to escape from their own subconscious, but they’ll always be trying to come to the surface.

There is, here, a desire to stray from heavy topics and things that make one feel too much, but simultaneously it could be that Yoosung has things that he’s secretly really really into, or feels like he can only dive into his own emotional depths when alone.

Another thing that shows up here is hidden enemies, as in people whose intentions go against ours but we don’t know it. It could be that his hidden enemies are very scorpian. They’re concerned with what’s under the surface, investigative, sometimes they could be out to get him. But this won’t happen unless there’s a relevant transit here or activation via timelord.

The ruler of this house is in the 4H, which may tell us these enemies may be from his family. The topics of isolation and self-undoing in general are connected to those of home, family, and comfort zone. Maybe his isolation is somewhat of a comfort zone. Maybe his family forces him to isolate at some point or another. There’s many ways to go around this. This is one of those houses that won’t become relevant unless it’s activated, really.

Alright so that’s all i’ll say for him. Interesting chart ngl, that stellium in the 4H fucks shit up more often than not but still, interesting to witness. hope u learned something from this bc holy fuck this took me a WHILE.

If u actually read all of this u deserve a kiss on the lips bc my god

[crowhyun]

omg y’all workplace tea—

okay, so, idrk exactly what’s happening but i’m at work or wtv and i’m taking an order. Behind me, I hear my coworker ask our manager to come to back back so they could talk.

i’m like 👀👀👀

so they go to the back and a few seconds later, i hear “THATS MY FUCKING BROTHER” repeatedly and they’re mad loud so i’m so confused. I’m thinking my coworker, let’s call her T, and my manager, let’s call her K, got into a fight and T did smth. At first I was surprised bcs im like huh??? T???? Of all ppl? But she’s so chill and nice.

But turns out, it’s WASNT T. T was just trying to calm K down. So they come out from the back, and I hear K talking abt “i’m gonna wait till she come here so i can beat her ass”

like OOOOOOO WHAT HAPPENED???

And then a few minutes later, she’s like “Yk i know where she lives so imma get her there” and then boom, she’s out and in like oh shit.

So then later on, we get a call. I’m like “blah blah blah how can i help you” and then the person on the phone goes “Hi, is S (my other manager) there?”

and i’m like “no not yet”

and then she hangs up. i’m thinking it’s a customer or wtv, bcs she sounded so nice and calm. Then, S finally comes in to start her shift. She was in the back, talking to our other manager, let’s call him J. Now before S came and K left, K was talking with T, and I overheard “J said this J said that” and then i’m like HUH???? IS IT J??? SIX FOOT SEVEN J???? I’m like oh no, she’s gonna fight J 😨

lmao and then it turns out no it’s not him. So, as I was saying, J was talking to S in the back abt whatever. I then get get another call, and the person asked the same thing.

“Is S there yet?”

“Yes”

“Okay, then tell her i’m on my way”

and i’m like okay, so I go and tell her without knowing that SHE IS TRYING TO FIGHT S! THAT WAS A THREAT ON THE PHONE AND IM ALL LIKE LADIDADIDA LETS GO TELL S 🤩

and so, K comes back and i see her outside, pulling her hair up and i’m like oh shit

and then i ask T what happened and she said “some bullshit” lmao and then she said “idk why K is tryna fight her with her pregnant self”

PREGNANT?!?!?! K IS PREGNANT?!?!?

So, T is like “S!” she’s calling her, and S is in the back and she hasn’t came out in like 20 minutes and i’m like holy shit what’s happening

now K is outside talking w her boyfriend, and he’s tryna calm her down and stuff. Then J walks outside and talks to her, then he comes back inside and is like “K said that she just wants to talk to S”

like wtf obv not she’s tryna fight her 😭 anyways, that’s where we’re at now. My shift is almost over in 45 mins, so i’ll update yall if anything happens, but idk anything is gna happen while i’m still here

[wuhwoahhh]

ok so ive been wanting to do an in depth review of Dimension: Answer by Enhypen for time and i guess today is the day, here are my thoughts on this I think KILLER sophomore album from a kpop boy band:

We open with Intro: Whiteout. I love this song because it doesnt make any sense. "My eyes are closed. No, wait, theyre open. But i cant see"??? It takes you on a journey right from the beginning, and Jake's Australian accent really delivers it. Plus the pulsing beat in the background feels like you're running to an undisclosed location. Ends with the words: "what do you think?" Its inviting and narrative and just a great opener.

Track 2: Tamed-Dash is next - song of the summer. They mention summer and in the choreo do a hand fan motion indicating hot weather. Great beat, fun lyrics, catchy chorus, good choreo as well with the music video. Jungwon really stands out in this one; overall a great single no flaw track.

Track 3: Upper Side Dreaming: UNDERRATED. This song is constantly stuck in my head and the beat is so good its just catchy, the little chorus "doo, doo doo doo, doo, doo doo, upper side dreaming like. YEAH no exactly. Also the interspersed English words are really fun. perfect transition from Tamed-Dashed.

Track 4: Just A Little Bit: Not a bad song by any means, but much lower key and more acoustic than the others, not my fave, a little boring but they have pretty good vocals. Plus its a good lead into...

Track 5: GO BIG OR GO HOME. This is my FAVOURITE song on the whole album and it just delivers EXACTLY what it is trying to do: pulsing beat, club early 2000s vibe (kind of usher-esque in the beat??), good mix of English and Korean and fun lines (don't get away, I need a diamond ring, im feeling lucky) and then the chorus hits, great buildup to extremely catchy chorus (we going going going we RIDE) like it just delivers so well. The bridge is really good too, good beat drop. Nothing excessive or innovative but i LOVE this song I think I've listened to it at least 50 times its just so well done

Jumping into Track 6: Blockbuster. Right off the bat we get "hop in, big bills" and you KNOW its gna be a banger with some shredding electric guitar in the back. Simple verse but chorus pulls thru with a beat change, Jay with good vocals, Yeonjun feature for the rap is so killer gives a grungier sound, he brings good ad libs "are...you...ready?" Just a fun song, again, does what it's supposed to do. This album overall just delivers a clean, upbeat, well produced pop album. Like yes the members probably had ZERO SAY in anything they did but i kind of don't care bcuz the production is so good.

Track 7: Attention, Please! is another solid track, good clean chorus, nothing innovative but great fun, the "panic, panic, here we go" in the chorus is fun. Well produced.

Track 8: Interlude: Question - this follows similar format to the intro but different background, more relaxed, same kind of narrative feel and arc though. My one critique is that the interlude is only two songs before the end, but to be fair i can't really think of where would be a better place to put it.

Track 9: Blessed-Cursed - solid single, i've heard it way too many times though and don't like it as much as the others. They were def going for an edgier feel, it is a solid track, good pre chorus, good choreo (easy to remember, learn, and representative). I think they definitely took this songs popularity as the inspo for their next album which sadly is not nearly as good. They do fun pop so well idk why they felt they had to go edgy and autotune but it seems a lot of the groups are doing that these days i guess.

Another note: this album is supposed to be in their vampire boarding school era (re: webtoon) but not enough vampire boarding school nrg. Like theyr really set up all this lore and having the other group be werewolves but very little delivery. I mean drunk dazed was VERY vampiric and slay and that whole mini album was but overall it was not as good an album imo and fever i don't like for them. They should have brought more in here.

Ok i am writing a lot because I am stalling talking about my least favourite track: Polaroid Love. Basic, classic, happy acoustic nothing song, repetitive chorus and verses, NOTHING innovative. I guess they wanted to show the kids actually had vocal ability because the audition show focused so heavily on dancing, but its not a good song imo even though one of the members Heesung says it's his favourite. But it kind of fits the theme, I don't like the transition from Blessed-Cursed bc it just softens out so fast and for what

Last is Outro: Day 2: Very similar to Intro and Interlude, the instrumentation on this one is very fun, reminds me vaguely of some kind of Lorde inspo (VAGUELY) and then builds up, he kind of rambles about "writing his day two", idk what plot they were going for honestly but it closes the album out well, fading out.

Ok wrote more than I thought but those are my thoughts. I need to give Day 2: Manifesto (their new mini album) another listen, but Im just not feeling it. It just doesn't have the same precise production and immaculate vibes as Dimension: Answer.

Overall this album is imo a pop masterpiece, and one of my favourite overall kpop albums, and maybe just albums in general. With one HARD skip and that's it, we are doing pretty well, plus the first half bangers make up for it. Its camp, its concept, its well produced and well delivered, and thematically very fun. Recommend to all :)

enemies to lovers drarry fic recs? pls ? I beg ? I die for dis

anon i know u sent this ask like daaays ago but i temporarily took leave of my brain and realized i should probs have a bookmark system for this shit. also this was gna be a shortlist but fuck it let’s just put a bunch of E2L faves in one accessible place. (pls see original lists for links, thank u for spurring on this semblance of organization. one day i will have a big sexy masterlist and be so powerful. today is unfortch not that day)

-from my thrillers list: like clockwork, shibboleths, who we are in the shadows, in the hand

-from my soft bois list: the way down, modern love, wild, hpatfhdrwt

-from my dramas list: yours to keep, away childish things, reparations, ties that bind

-every fic on this v short enemies with benefits list: harry potter gives a shit, kiss the joy (until the sunrise), strangeness and charm, idk my bff hermione

-and here are some random ones i havent recc’d yet:

An Aching Soul by @writcraft - 14k, M

Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.

enemies to co-clubbers to reluctant friends to lovers. kind of great how much draco Hates a care-free harry being the center of attention in the club. he rly said there can only be one haunted hottie at this joint and it’s annoying that it’s you. also fave part in a good drarry fic is when harry calls draco a coward and draco calls harry self-righteous bc they’re both always wrong and slightly correct abt that. 2 hot messes trying to run away from their insecurities/trauma until they finally admit they have a heart boner for each other. u love to see it.

Eternally Consistent by kitsunealyc - 44k, E

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter assumed they would never be anything but civil enemies, until Potter lands on Malfoy's doorstep, bleeding, covered in curses, and acting very strangely indeed.

god this is easily one of my fave drarry fics. the pacing, the cool time loops and dept. of mysteries setting, harry and draco being forced to work together, the tone!! hilarious, sexy, banter-y [like pls why is that pity potter line the funniest shit ive ever read]. also side-pairing hermione/millie is very enlightened like all the character dynamics are written so well with such ease, u sort of just accept it as canon bc it’s that fun and interesting. 10/10 have re-read many times.

Code Name L by GallaPlacidia - 33k, M

Trainees at the Department of Mysteries are kept under an identity-obscuring spell for two years. Harry doesn't even know who it is he's been falling in love with all this time. He's nervous about the Reveal, but really, what's the worst that could happen?

technically secret identity bfs to enemies to bfs again but im making it count. read if u love angsty case fics where everyone is severely fucked up and it takes a long time before they learn to be better to themselves/others. also u can always count on Galla to write deeply conflicted, sharp-edged dracos and hot-tempered, conclusion-jumping harrys. kind of emotionally devastating but worth it. the dudes choose to trust each other against their ingrained judgment. i think abt the wasp and figs analogy once a week.

Ocean of Storms by Brief_and_Dreamy - 113k, E

The war is over and Harry has returned to help rebuild Hogwarts. He longs to move forwards, but the past refuses to let him go. The castle is full of ghosts: haunting nightmares, the deaths he couldn't prevent, and the age-old rivalry that Draco Malfoy seems determined to maintain.

we love an angsty 8th yr fic with plot and ghosts and large casts and common room parties and catching bad guys in the forbidden forest. draco is an antagonistic shit. harry is gaggin for a fight. both of them are very sad and needy and proud. lots of fighting sexily and crying angrily. u get it.

0705 FRENZY —— sis is genuinely losing it so this is where the bulk of the action is gna be... i imagine she’d be madly roamin around tryna busy herself, like catch her randomly @ the swimming pool ( does she even like swimming... does she even swim 💀 ), tryna train @ either the northeast courtyard or some training room ( someone spar w her rn ), in the library reading like 100 books on witches and elemental control, on the rooftop of sma tryna taste the clouds ( ?? sis i— ), idk at the club dropping it low idk man— nothing is off limits here, we can thread anyth and i m rdy 2 stretch this section past the boundaries of realism hfsdjk

opinions on riordanverse ; my edition

a lot of people have been doing this so i decided why not right. probably gna lose some followers or smth but anyways. pls respect my opinions! if u disagree, thats fine, but please be polite. unless any of my opinions strikes u as morally wrong then pls point it out to me respectfully. thanks!

- i actually liked drew. im so sorry to everyone who hates her but full offence, why. think about it this way ok, first of all drew became hc because silena died. silena was the traitor, the one who betrayed chb, yet after she died campers celebrated her as a hero? and then drew suddenly has to replace her and live up to idk that legacy she left behind,, when all of a sudden this girl named piper swoops in and takes her place. idk abt u but i wld be salty abt that too. not only that, but as an asian, the chances of drew having faced racism/bullying as a child is pretty high (she studies at brooklyn academy). which means that when she finds out shes a demigod, and arrives at chb where most of the campers are white (this is an assumption btw), she’d obviously be scared of being bullied for her skin color right?? so the first thing she wld do before the campers get to bully her is to bully them before they can do so. (sentence structure here is wack i apologize) ofc this might not even have happened, drew could have had a perfect childhood && was a b1tch for no reason, BUT EVEN THEN HER ROLE AS A BULLY WAS PRETTY VITAL BECAUSE THAT FURTHER SHOWED THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HER AND PIPER,, HIGHLIGHTING PIPER AS A HERO//GOOD CHARACTER,, AND THEREFORE MAKING READERS LIKE PIPER MORE. anyway stop hating on drew please. ALSO WHY IS THIS SO LONGA SDFJHG

- jason isnt bland, the fandom just kinda erased his backstory (thanks to @pjohoo-memes for the phrasing lol)

- reynabeth wouldnt have lasted/would have broken up several times. idk i just see them as two extremely powerful characters who have firm opinions and will definitely clash at some point. in a platonic relationship,, i can see them as really good friends but as lovers? idk i just think theyll break up

- PIPABETH

- i dont really like jercy,, i see them as better friends than lovers. also idt jason and percy were that close..?

- the dam and not my type jokes are srsly cringey and were never funny. ik that seems hypocritical since my username literally makes use of the dam joke but honestly i dont actually like the joke. its not funny to me and has never been funny

- the seven were not best friends. they definitely argued,, and honestly probably werent as close as the fandom makes them seem. like ure dumped with 6 other people, out of which u only know a few. my introverted ass would have jumped off the argo 2 quicker than leo valdez could bomb camp jupiter up. also leo was a dick to frank. so what if frank is bigger sized?? thats not a valid reason to tease him

- the fandom needs to stop hating on octavian while worshipping luke. if u hate luke and u say u hate octavian too, then okay. but if u tell me ure a luke stan but u despise octavian?? imma disagree w u. luke was worse than octavian im sorry. first of all, octavian being a dick was kinda justified. hes been after the praetor position for so long, and everyone keeps saying to “wait for jason” when suddenly this dude, whos a son of NEPTUNE (neptune wasnt liked much by romans), and the camp decides to make him praetor?? dude i would be pissed off big time. and then afterwards, he finds out that greek demigods are real and the dude they made praetor is greek. AND THEN GREEK DEMIGODS COME TO CJ AND ONE OF THEM BOMB IT UP?? octavian has been told all his life that greeks are scum and this dude called leo valdez attacks cj. sure it was an accident, but did octavian know that? no. so it was honestly justified that he was such a salty prick im just saying. also some of yall be hating on octavian for cutting a teddy bear open and thats the funniest shit ive ever heard i swear 

- luke didnt go to elysium

- travis and connor stoll r way too underrated. the two have been head counselors of the hermes cabin since luke was revealed as a traitor, can u imagine the stress? luke, the person they probably looked up to as a brother, betrayed them. and they didnt even have time to process this when they were  thrown the roles of being hcs. that would have been so stressful and i would probably have broken down if i were them. the stoll brothers taking turns to wake up at ungodly hours because a new camper is crying and homesick and terrified, the stoll brothers having to comfort and take care of new campers, having to deal with the amount of people in that cramped space because not enough campers are being claimed fast enough. having to resolve issues between campers in the hermes cabin all the time. the stolls arent just comedic relief, and we need to stop treating them as such

- tratie shldve been canon idc idc

- demigods of the demeter cabin arent talked about enough and i love the fact that meg was demeters kid. like she isnt the child of one of the big three yet shes so powerful.

- we need to hype clarisse up more her character arc was phucking amazing 

- rachel is overhated. sis found out greek gods exist and regularly come down to earth to fuck around and went “ok cool”. queen shit behavior methinks

- the floor 19 crew of mcga is srsly underrated. like do u even remember halfborn gunderson, mallory keen, tj, etc??? bc i feel like we only remember samirah, magnus, alex, and sometimes blitz and hearthstone

- sadie (tkc) was kinda annoying at first. i like her more now tho but i rmb not liking her for a phat while

- tkc and mcga need more love

- carter kane and jason grace arent boring. theyre just really sweet boys who are too good for this world and yes yes yes 

- hazel and frank (especially frank) need to be hyped up more. i hardly ever see anything about them. also yall seem to forget that frank was literally made praetor and that even hecate admired hazel and was willing to fight beside her because of how powerful she was

- frazels age gap is kinda sketch but i still think theyre really cute

- nico definitely had trauma from going to tartarus on his own

- GROVER IS PERCYS BEST FRIEND

- annabeth isnt smarter than leo but neither is leo smarter than annabeth. ive seen a lot of discussions about who is smarter and heres my hot take on it: neither. theyre equally smart, just in different ways. leos a genius mathematically speaking. he has no issues solving math problems meant for people much, much older than him. annabeth on the otherhand, is great at strategies etc. she can make an army of 1000 more powerful than the enemy, even if theyre outnumbered. so in my opinion, both are equally as smart//u cant compare their intelligence, because their talents lie in two different areas.

- while i do agree rick riordan isnt a god and that hes bound to make mistakes,, AND that hes given us a lot of representation,, if the representation offends the people its sposed to represent, then theres a problem. im talking about piper as a poc and wearing feathers in her hair. im not a poc, so i cant speak for them on whether or not its wrong, because i dont know either. HOWEVER, i have seen multiple posts BY pocs talking about how they didnt really like rick’s representation of piper, and thats an issue. pocs have been and are still oppressed and discriminated against by many. as a white cis man, we cant really blame him for not knowing (tho he could have done a research,, asked some pocs,, idk), but by representing pocs in that manner, hes influencing impressionable kids/teens into thinking “oh pocs wear feathers in their hair all the time” etc, which isnt true. the pjo/hoo series is extremely successful, and kids who read the books will probably start forming inaccurate opinions on pocs. the amount of fan art that depicts piper with feathers in her hair dont help either. “but rick said so in the books, so its canon” yeah well rick isnt a god and he can get some things wrong at times. im not saying we should cancel him, im saying we should start educating ourselves and not spread false info like pocs wearing feathers in their hair all the time. also that snake song shit where she sang Summertime was just- yeah. bc heres the thing you can be racist, and still include minorities, but portray them in a racist way. And even then, ignorance isn't a thing to admire. Getting those facts wrong still has a major impact. It continues to perpetuate racist stereotypes.

“ With the feather thing, I looked it up myself; it takes less than five minutes to figure out that Cherokees don't braid feathers into their hair. I didn't grow up in the country where my parents are from. I have many other first/second generation American friends who have also been through that, with a bit of a disconnect from their culture. But something that most of us have in common is that when we didn't know something, and when our parents weren't that big of a help, we looked it up. We sought out resources online and through other people from our culture to be able to connect more with where we came from. Some of that took a Google search. So I find it hard to believe that Piper, a girl who Rick's trying to portray as someone who is attempting to connect with her culture and is totally against racist stereotypes, wouldn't know that eagle feathers aren't supposed to be braided into your hair casually. She may be disconnected from her culture, but she's also shown to want to connect back to it. Piper wouldn't be casually braiding feathers into her hair while also telling off people for being racist. It makes no sense.” - reddit thread (down below)

i will be posting screenshots of these in future posts so if ure viewing this on ig and u dont have tumblr,, dont worry 

- the fact that most of the strong female characters in the series refuse to be “girly”, and ngl i dont really like that. just because ure girly doesnt mean u cant be strong. 

- piper would have been a great way for him to start making the strong characters act girlier, but instead he went with the “I’m not like other girls” trope which is quite obnoxious to hear constantly, and I don’t think it’s necessarily great for younger girls to read that idea growing up.  the closest we've ever had to a strong female character who was also into "girly" things was Silena. when I was younger I admired Piper's "I'm not like other girls" thing, but then I got older and realized that the whole mentality of "not like other girls" is super obnoxious, and a little bit toxic

i have a heck load more that i cant rmb rn but yeah feel free to add more
