#interesting how I was just thinking abt a cult

[lucabyte]

🐮

[cosmicheartz]

Tbh the cotl fandom doesn’t really take advantage of the fact red crown ( and possibly the other crowns ) are sentient enough

[itsalwaysdark]

i think itis funny in the past when i would list my interests as if i post abt them i donot post abt the shit im into rly Mainly bc im not rly Into Into anything anymore i occasionally watch or read or play something but i dont do fandom stuff rly much.... just sometimes i get brainworms

[cursed-spirit-manipulation]

Need ppl to acknowledge what being a cult leader Means for Suguru. Like that's a choice he made

I need to eat rocks but I do think it's a form of. He doesn't know how to obtain genuine self actualization so he just does what he learned.

He recreates toxic power structures but this time he's the Most Powerful, but it's hollow because he wants genuine human connection but he grew up isolated and then in Fucking Jujutsu Society.

Ripping my hair out

[trans-leek-cookie]

vague thought but I feel like we and I mean like. Everyone of us needs to learn to like. Idk self reflect and learn not to be voyeurs... Like this is abt myself as well. Specifically in cases of real life tragedy, like, when do we go from learning abt something to using it to feed a sort of entertainment (in a similar way to a horror movie)? How do we learn to identify when something is excessive? Sure, details can be important, but when do they stop teaching and start just being fuel for a morbid fascination?

[satonomi]

Can I be 🧚‍♀️ anon if it's not taken pls!! And ok... what are your thoughts on cult leader Geto? 🫣🫣

i expect cult leader geto’s wife to absolutely HATE his guts. like i’m talking melania trump core (i made a small post abt this before).

i can just imagine some young woman from a powerful clan being forced to marry some weirdo obsessed with monkeys (cuz yes, you genuinely didn’t know what he was talking abt when he said monkeys and thought he was insane in the beginning. well... you still think he’s crazy).

i would describe suguru’s wife to be the “nonchalant” kind, very elegant, just cares abt that bag and living a good life. you have no interest in sexual relations with him at first (though he was super hot and that’s what pushed you to agree to the marriage in the first place), and neither does he (the both of you actually sleep in separate rooms). suguru only married you to gain support and followers. so all you had to do was make appearances beside him, sit pretty, act like everything was fine, and spend the rest of your life not having to lift a finger whilst gawking at your husband’s dashing looks. easy enough, right?

wrong. you actually end up learning he’s a cult leader through these strange meetings (yeah, your parents totally forgot to fill you in abt that part).

it sets you off (like fr mom and dad? a cult leader??) and you become irritated with him and everything he does more and more as the days pass. you start acting like an entirely different person, smacking his hand away when he tries to hold it in public, opting to clutch onto your designer purse instead. and geto just stands there with a close-eyed smile, laughing it off.

you couldn’t even stand to look at him. you married a psycho obsessed with killing non-sorcerers. but what could you do? your parents practically sold you to him! so the smartest thing you could think of in terms of fighting back was to not listen to a word he says. and it gets really awkward for the people around you both when you’re constantly acting like a bitch and geto sits there with a tight smile, everyone else in the room sharing concerned and nervous glances.

nowadays, all you ever really did was grovel abt your terrible life while wearing your designer clothes and wiping your tears with the designer handkerchief that you pull out of your designer handbag #richpplproblems

but suguru brushes off your behavior all the time, assuming you were having trouble adjusting even though it’s been two months and you used to act pretty normal in the beginning of your marriage. maybe it was a lot to process? so, he doesn’t do anything abt your attitude… until you really embarrass him.

it ends up with him dragging you into his bedroom, away from prying eyes, seething and red-faced. it was completely unlike your usually calm and collected husband, and it made you smug that you finally got a reaction out of him. and it pacified something inside of you, a part that was desperate for revenge due to being stuck in this god awful marriage.

geto, being the ever so observant person he was notices the change in your eyes, resulting in a back and forth between you two consisting of yelling and screaming. until, he finally slams his lips onto yours, shutting you up.

clothes are ripped off and then the next thing you know, both of you are fucking on your marriage bed for the first time, gasping out between moans abt how much you can’t stand each other.

the rest of that night was spent hate-fucking, then acting normal and back to snide remarks the next day. until it happens again… and again… and again.

only because both of you are scared to admit you enjoy the steamy sex and the fact you’ve started having feelings for each other since you’re both stubborn. so, the two of you just find an excuse to fuck all the time by getting on each other’s nerves.

[charlott2n]

ok so stranger in a strange land starts off kinda cool its like oooo there’s this weird alien guy and we think he’s from mars! but he looks human but he doesn’t understand human language or customs at all he comes from an utterly different culture. so the parts where he’s talking about peaceful communal martian culture and free love etc are really interesting and cool! especially contrasted with (american) earth culture’s individualism and strict sexual morals and capitalism.

and then you get like halfway through and realise the book actually exists so heinlein can write diatribes spoken by his self-insert character who saves our martian man (mike) and jill and the others and gets to pontificate for pages on pages on pages about his big rich house and ideas on religion and society that are like. so obviously just heinlein’s own in the world’s most obnoxious way because the narrative just lavishes adoration and attention on this rando self-insert that doesn’t show up until a third(?) into the book and he just knows everrryyything and is so rich and intelligent and calm and able to handle everything he’s sooooo perfect.

and then the book becomes unbearably misogynistic and homophobic. like mike the martian starts what’s basically a cult around his martian ideals (which i don’t necessary disagree with — some/most of his ideals around community and sex are cool) but heinlein has to say like every other page that ohhh yeah sure we’re all having crazy polyamorous sex all the time and living together in harmony BUT NO GAY PPL. NO HOMOS BTW. ok maybe two women if a man is into it but no homosexuals that’s disgusting and unnatural. anyway lets have more straight sex and talk about how women are biologically inferior and it’s their fault they get sexually assaulted and also did you know heinlein’s self-insert character is so beloved and cool and amazing and has great opinions like how all religion is stupid bullshit and r/atheism is the most based sub ever.

there’s probably stuff im forgetting bc i hated it so much but i was just reminded abt it. thanks for listening

fuuuuuck that sucks ass. ill stay away. thank you for your review 😁

i’m not sure i have the spoons or words to properly articulate this HOWEVER i have thoughts nonetheless

i think it’s really interesting how media like Heartstopper and Red White and Royal Blue (the show/movie not the books) result in the actors getting accused of queerbaiting. which 1) real people don’t queerbait and 2) at least in Heartstopper’s case, most of the cast is queer people.

whereas shows like Good Omens and Our Flag Means Death literally star straight male actors but nearly no one is accusing them of queer baiting

and i think there’s something to do with the average ages of the audiences for each set. because while there’s obviously older folk watching Heartstopper and younger people watching Good Omens i feel like it’s undeniable that there’s A LOT of young, new to the queer community people in the Heartstopper fandom and a lot more older, been involved in queer spaces and culture for decades people in the GO & OFMD fandoms.

and i’m talking abt all of this as a gen z person. i’m definitely in the group of young people, i’ve been out as some flavor of queer for maybe 4 years.

but in talking to older queer people and also just my general observations, there seems to be this almost inherent understanding that while yes, it is nice to see queer people play queer roles, it isn’t a necessity in order to have a good queer story. so many formative pieces of queer media, stories that are cult classics or pillars of the community star straight people or were written by straight people.

but young queer people have this tendency to want to “do queerness the right way”. (speaking from a certain level of experience, i too was a young questioning teen on the internet). so when they see people who aren’t explicitly out acting in a very obviously queer show or movie they want proof that this is “the right kind of queer show”, i.e. one that casts queer people in the queer roles. and that leads to some pretty fucked up shit sometimes (e.g. people forcing Kit Connor to out himself).

i’m not really sure where i’m going with this but just some thoughts. feel free to add on in the notes!

[screampied]

so.... shiu toji 3some was fire... ate ME up.... made for a rlly good reading sesh BC NO THE WAY SHIU IS SO SWITCHY AND TOJI TOO??? LIKE PLS SANDWICH ME *insert horny meme*

but also made us wonder about possibly adding a third, even for just one time. yk for the experience..... and there's a candidate.... but.... idk how to feel abt sharing, i don't mind being shared (esp between toji and shiu like hello????) but idk GAHAHAHA I'm open to the idea but I'm also greedy with my bf

sighhhhh, can't they just make cloning tech already so i can be sandwiched between my boyfriends?🙄🙄

BUT YEAH MISS MAAM U ATE IT UP AGAIN AND LEFT ME WANTING MORE BC WHAT IF RENT-A-CULT LEADER NEXT???? OR RENT-AN-EMO BOY?????

—bricked reading sesh anon (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡

THANK YOU FOR READING OHMIGOSH🙍‍♂️. i’m so happy you enjoyed !!! that au's soooo fun n silly, i love making the narrator (well… me) randomly break character and throw shots at reader it’s so chaotic 💆‍♀️. right, they’re so sassy for what. reader just goes through it constantly LMAO

a third ??? idk why, but i kinda thought of nanami instantly. like in the rent-a-dilf verse he could secretly be a character like shiu who’s not exactly classified as a dilf, but he’s hot and is rated like five stars like toji. or he could be a dilf ☝️. dilf nanami does things to me, im gonna elaborate more about that one day </3

but this makes me smiiiiile i’m soso glad you liked the fic :P 💓. and actually !!!! that’s a good idea. i kinda … made a masterlist on the rent-a-dilf au for my recent milestone as a gift but idk if yall are interested 🧌. plus im scared hahaha. it was mainly formatted toji based since the first fic revolves around him, but i did add teasers for like cult leader! geto but NOT EMO BOY CHOSO WHATTTTT????? i might… have to …. think about this….. i’m writing for another character tho but we’ll see !!!!! thank you for this idea, bless your beautiful wrinkly brain reading sesh nonnie <3

[isuckatgaymes]

rating every fandom i've been in from the last 5 or so years in no particular order. because i can do that

cult of the lamb: LIKE THE BEST FANDOM IVE BEEN IN??? omg like everyone is just chill and cool and epic. i am yet to see ANY proshipping or weird incest shit and that's a very good thing. and no ship wars! no one cares! everyone ships narilamb and if you don't that's fine no one cares!!! also am i a furry bc they draw the goat so HOT like HOLY MOLY GUYS

night in the woods: i feel like calling it a fandom is generous because i have to hunt the internet like a hungry predator to find the goodies i want but they are so nice and mentally ill 🙏 points off for the weird ppl who hear mae is a girl and draw her really sexualized but they cant all be winners

ace attorney: the fandom live been in the longest. holy molyyyyyy theres way more good than bad but the bad is pretty bad. i think the fandom is the perfect size and i never feel like im losing my mind bc theres no fic for the specific thing i want. but if there isnt then i can just make it bc these characters have been my life for 3 years! but the aa fandom has like one of the biggest proship debates i've seen. there aren't rly ship wars besides the occasional feenris shipper hating on narumitsu but OMG the narumayo trupollo and cykesquill shippers are just WILD. but as someone deep in the trenches of the fandom it honestly isn't too bad. also REALLY good fanfiction holy shit

tmnt: ok guys wtf is up with the incest. the rest of the fandom is just fine and dandy but the INCEST. jesus CHRIST guys just make ocs stop shipping the brothers together. AND STOP MAKING PORN OF TEENAGERS.

hazbin hotel: ok what the hell happened here. the fandom can be fine one second but then a radioapple fan will hate on radiostatic and then it's a whole thing. and there's that one fan. the ANGEL NOOOOOO one. also the entire internet hates the fandom but honestly whenever i check it out its just fine. but also the fandom is crazy like. delulu? viv will tweet out "i had salad for lunch" and the fandom will be theorizing that charlie will die in season 2. i have no clue what's happening man

cookie run kingdom: JESUS CHRIST YALL. ok to be fair i was in this fandom in like. 2021? early 2022? so maybe it's changed but HOLY SHIT IT IS SO TOXIC. i was deep in the fandom and i got death threats for shipping sparkherb??? like what??? and they were always so mean to beginner artists it made me so sad :( AND THE RACISM???? how are yall racist to COOKIES they are COOKIES. and the like gender debates. poor strawberry crepe cookie... istg every time there was a post abt them i would see ppl arguing that they were every gender under the sun. like. guys. what are we doing here. these are cookies.

total drama: a very. interesting fandom. the people in it are very clearly... younger? i think that's the right word. it's not outstandingly good or insanely terrible, it's just. fine???? honestly i can't really dunk on it or sing its praises. besides island of the slaughtered that was epic

gravity falls: ok i don't want to judge the fandom for what it was like in the 2010s. BUT. holy moly there's a lot of bipper shipping. i know why it was like that but jeez there is just. a lot. the fandom is much better now and very fun! but id say the fandom from the end of the show to 2020 was very... it was a fandom!! i'll give it that!

ghost trick: this fandom is hanging on with duct tape hot glue and prayers. there are like. 7 people TOPS in the fandom and i honor them o7 they are so brave and i admire how they've managed to stay sane

steven universe: another pretty mixed bag. honestly the worst part of this fandom is its haters bc like. woah the children's show about peace and love ended with peace and love instead of violently beating up white diamond. this is crazy guys. but lowkey from what i've seen it isn't too bad. it's the lesbian rock show what more does one need

sonic: inside of you there are two wolves. one of them is a sonadow shipper. the other is a sonamy shipper. and every day they are beating each other up to assert dominance while the secret third wolf in the corner is drawing little ocs to post on deviant art

a hat in time: WHY ARE YALL SO DEPRESSED???? like this is the funny little platformer game that barley has any story and everything is so SAD. ITS THE SELF PROCLAIMED CUTE AS HECK PLATFORMER. i once read a series of fics where the conductor is suicidal and tries to kill himself. and i've seen some of the most soul crushing fanart of the snatcher. DO YOU NEED A HUG????

mlp: honestly this fandom got a crazy glow up. i'm pretty sure it's bc the audience the show was MADE FOR when it was produced has grown up and still loves the show and not because they think the ponies are hot. bronies made it very hard to be into the show when you were a young girl who liked ponies and friendship. i would know bc i saw cupcakes when i was 8 and cried for 2 hours. but the show is goated and the fandom now is honestly pretty good

[grecoromanyaoi]

Idk how to phrase this but can you talk some more abt Anca's like general situation... I love hearing abt her already

yesssss omg so basically her grandmother lisistrata is the leader ("the master") of the cult of the stargazers. they are heavily based on the cult of dionysus, and basically believe the world is a play that the stars orchestrate for their enjoyment, and the most entertaining actors win a place of honor among the stars (become stars. badum tsss). they are batshit insane and have huge abuse n murder n drugs etc problems in the community bc the more "interesting" ur story is the better. also they base their logic and storytelling techniques and morals on the old plays, so they just fucking hate women (the general society is somewhat misogynistic, but its mostly in a strict gender roles way n not in a women r inferior way). lisistrata's son, mercuțio, was supposed to inherit her role, but he ran away from the cult with his girlfriend, leaving behind his older son, orlando. when anca was abt 15 her grandmother found them, murdered her son and kidnapped anca to the cult. when she grew up both her parents were p abusive n they were struggling financially n her house was a v unstable place n within the cult she was rich nobility, so p soon, altho after a good amount of grooming n gaslighting, she came to see the chain of events as positive. when she turned 19 (altho grooming her for it sooner) her grandmother turned her into some sort of a spy n borderline sw, where shes sent to learn ppls secrets (i was thinking abt finnic from the hunger games) so the cult could manipulate them n get better rights n benefits n support for her cult. her older brother, orlando, "fell in love w her" the moment he met her (when she was 15 n he was 31!! guards!!!!) n has a 4d chess type madonna whore complex abt her where he both thinks shes stupid n incapable n that he should take care of her but also that shes the most perfect woman in the world. his wife looks suspiciously similar to anca. theres also her "reeducator", damian, who is also certain hes in love w her, n both him n orlando r basically waiting for lisistrata to drop dead so they could marry her n make her into their pefect wife (docile housewife in a semi permanent state of pregnancy). basically almost everyone in her life is either psychologically, physically or sexually abusing her she just became so disconnected from herself - she learned not to form any opinions, to not moralize or think abt anything happening to her (if someone were to hit her shed think this is physically painful not this is bad or even this is harming me), to completely disconnect from her own body, etc. at the beginning of the story her grandma sends her as some sort of an embassador to the court n in order to seduce the crown prince, marin, who is actually the first person in her life to actually care abt her. so she starts learning abt herself n putting boundries n becoming opinionated n actually seeking out pleasuring herself instead of only other ppl (for example she starts exploring her bisexuality n actually fucking women, not just making out w them for mens amusement) n basically becoming her own person. im still not sure how her ties to the cult will end - i dont want to abolish the cult entirely, but i do want to 100% Get Her Out Of There yknow. so yeah tysm again. im so normal abt this story

Capitol Hierarchy

I was inspired by this post and my need to have order on my ideas. This valid for all my lore I do for the Families I have interest in (Snow, Harrington,etc) and the ones I made up like The Dorrance 💖

Fair warning this just a ramble that I did out of nowhere. I know absolute almost nothing abt Antique Rome and I have a very basic knowlodge of USA, this only for fun so feel free to disagree or ignore if u dont like my headcanons☝️

1. Patricians

This one is subdivided in 3 subclasses (that are manifestations of power, not categories of its own that exist in Capitol).

I. Politics. I believe the founder families are usually engaged in this aspect. Especially when talking of positions that are relevant inside the goverment and more permanent than for example Senators (where is common some members of lowers Families can be.) Families that I include in this: Phipps. Dovecote. Not a rule but usually the people here shouldn't be able to own or participe directly in Business, because they are already participating of Politics (ofc no one fucking respect this, yet they try hard to be discreet about it).

II. Military Class. Considering how much it depend Panem all its History from Militar power. I don't believe is a reach say this a very influent root in Society. However the families here can't go into Politics. Not directly at least, is not a law but most of some mutual agreeing, to avoid internal conflict. Clearly this something that people ignore many times. Also this an area that as time pass Post Tbosas Era, only gain more influence. Family I include in this: Snow (Yes, Coriolanus do explicit gonna break the mutual agreement). Harrington* (Explainning this later).

Relevant point I'm picturing here people trying to do monopoly shit in that sector. Is not like they are forbbide of get into other business of other kind but not so common that happen.

III. Economy Class. Now the order I put, is simply to give an order, not a real indicative of which subclass is in reality more powerful. I mention this because I feel many of the families that own or hold some big economical power by own business of diverse kind could influence in a direct and indirect way politics, even more than Military one or the older families. Also this a nice moment to explain that the Patricians in general are identified because this people that in Politics are involved in it. Even if Patricians from Military Class im theory shouldn't go after Politicial positions, still this the type of people that you as a politician should care to be in good terms with. Hope this make sense.

Family I include in this: Cardew. And of course shot out to the Heavesbean cult. Too not surprises if I dont mention certain families, I mention the ones that I have headcanons and these aren't many. 😔😔

2. Equestrians

Similar it will have a subdivision internal that Im using to explain but that dont exist within the universe, sorry for any confusion.

I. Militar Force. In Patricians Militar Class like I say, I picture mostly owners of the Military Complex that supply the forces and even go futher steps. These families could or no belong for real to the Army. Now here we talk of "minor" owners of that Industry that for general belong to Army. Mostly the two particular roots of Army: Air Force and Navy. You may think, they would get along but that's not the case. Especially I would say Air Force and Navy are always in conflict with Army (you know. The ones in combat on earth and in charge of Police duties). Here is too were Im gonna explain Harrington Family. Because I believe they gain the Patrician title after the service of Commander Pliny Father during the war, this not add nothing except when we remember my complot of Harrington and Plinth. The worst families dinner happen for this.

II. Business Force. Again. Here go all these companies and business. Like my inspiration post, its very possible its people doing products of not first neccesity but I would say the big distintion here is mostly this people still not have such a big influence in Politics like the Patricians babes. Like, they CAN BE THERE, mostly they end up as senators but they are far yet of have their voices hear in these type of matters, but the ascent social for them is a big yes, it would just need some effort extra but its a thing that happen a lit. Here go my delulu ass: The Dorrance with actives in D3.

III. Intellectual Force. I was thinking of Education and Institutions, the type of circles that influence in the ideological aspect of society, even if not in a noticeable way but this have a lot to do with Culture, but like the so bad called "high culture" thats basically patriotism. Also like the Patricians nepotism is always the best buddy of this people, in general of this category but the buddies here yeah. Kinda take it faaar. Here go the best fam: Highbottom.

IV. Communication and entertainment. In development. The more louder from here. Always surronder to Patricians interest. Its influence in the Districts its almost non existing. It will be developed more power and impact later on.

3. Plebeians

Normal citizens from Capitol. Subdivided in three:

I. Celebs. Famous people with ties to War or to Communication and Entertainment industriesUsually they are rich (but they can be too at best middle class) and deepy admired by people.

II. High Plebeians. People that can pay a departament. Have high qualificate jobs. They managed to study or small business owners. They tend to have big debts. Our fav old gay uncle: Pluribus Bell.

III. Low Plebeians. They have servant jobs or informal ones. Drawn in debts. The one that probably end up in high risky jobs or doing unhealthy practices. A not so small part of the population.

4. The Plinth Case: Libertini

This is my favorite part, literally this whole post was born because I wanted to answer the Plinth thing, and I was like, “oh shit I guess I should have an idea more or less how the other layers of society work in the Capitol.” So answering the million dollar question: the Plinth are citizens of the Capitol with what all that means? I think they are, but with their particularities, they are a “yes but…”

The Plinth (marriage) exist as their own category within the Capitol. Their papers say Libertinus (Sejanus will be clarified later). And there are several conditions, first I don't think any of them could have any criminal record, as sad enough Strabo can't shoot it dumb people, but yes, I think if their record is tainted, there will be no choice but to send them back to Two,,,,but punished obviously.

I was also thinking about whether there would be some kind of restriction on travel, and after consideration I think it's possible. As obviously Strabo can travel between districts in case he has to do business, but it's a Strabo only thing, no taking his family on vacation (something in theory a Plebeian could do, though most of them could never dream of vacationing in the districts, not after the war tho lmao), and again, if the rule is broken, you're screwed.

Likewise I suspect Strabo wouldn't be able to own much property within the Capitol. He could not have 5 apartments if he wanted to (the number needed to maybe make a house/j). And the most important: Strabo Plinth nor his wife could ever attempt to run for political office. It's not all bad, I think these 3 points could be negotiated years later, fixed and adjusted, if they can be persuasive enough, perhaps. And since they can have cards, bank accounts, be super rich, and even vote, is all good, they would just have to do it, consciously, if you know what I mean.

They shoudn't forget who was the great president that let them move in, and it would be nice if they would show how grateful they are, by making donations, to repair what their people broke, to help the city that has received them with open arms. Also they are not forbidden to study, as of course they can, just find someone who wants to have you in their school, and of course they could get a nice apartment, in a neighborhood where no one would make a fuss over a family from the district.

4.5 The promise. Sejanus Case

Sejanus came to the Capitol very young, but he was not a baby either, even so he was symbolically granted the status of a Plebeian. He keeps in fact the same restrictions as his parents, but his papers say Plebeian, which is a victory, but who knows. If Sejanus has children, they would be 100% Plebeians, and if in turn those children have their own children, they would be assured of their position, enough to work hard and maybe one day they will be Equestrians and in a few more generations, maybe one will be born, at last worthy of being a Patrician.

Something like that Ravinstill said to Strabo, which seems very reasonable doesn't it?

5. Avoxes

Finally. We are close to shutting me up, just an important reminder that the subdivisions I mentioned above are mostly explanatory, I think on paper there are only 3 statuses (+Plinth Case), and in reality the dynamics I wrote about obviously have had their exceptional cases, or fluctuate, also the internal order is not necessarily indicative of who status holds more power, because again, that kind of thing flow all the time, but is a well reference of how thing works. Tbh I think the only ones that are trapped in a rigid status are the Plinth, but well with them the Libertini thing dies so…

Now let's go with the Avoxes. I will talk not so much about subdivisions but about before the war and after the war. Something striking to me is that before and during the war we are mentioned servants, I hope it does not sound strange what I say, and I suspect they had tongues, along legs too, to eat.

I think the concept of Avox already existed before the dark days, only they were not so common, they were a less reduced number, and I think they were always forced to do jobs that no one wanted to do (that business underground) although perhaps they had companions with tongues even at that time, but mainly I see they were lab rats. Like that frog thing that television says people do in science class, just on a large scale to practice in certain fields, like Medicine, Biology, Pharmacists, etc.

If they were already used for domestic work - parties, I think that happened, with some rich families who indulged to it like a whim but after the war, there is an overproduction of avoxes. There are so many of them, what to do with them? I don't think that their use in the tasks I already mentioned is disappearing, but it is expanding, and eventually because they are cheap labor (free), they end up dominating little by little the domestic market, like, who better than a former traitor to help you make your bed.

I can see advertising like that, and then the avoxes start flooding the houses, although not all avoxes, there are from avoxes to avoxes you know? But that's a talk to another day.

Anyway, I say thank you to anybody who get there to read my rambles. <3

honestly the bit abt her acing classical tragedies and organic chem makes sooooo much sense to me because why wouldn’t she?? personally I see her as a very Elle Woods-y type of girl so even if she’s ditzy an airheaded it does mean she’s dumb, she just has different smarts!

of course she’s good at organic chem when she has to remember how different beauty products like makeup and skincare will have different reactions to various skin types and how to avoid cross contamination and allergies. and why wouldn’t she be interested in classical tragedies when she probably has equally horrible ones from girls’ night at the bar or awful rumors of what happened at a specific party.

and if bimbo!reader is able to follow the meticulous, thorough care instructions for taking care of her piercings and tattoos and acrylic nails, it just makes sense that she would be able to follow the same thorough instructions in building herself a table or fixing her leaky shower head or her door that sticks! (plus it means she gets an excuse to buy that cute hot pink toolset she saw at the hardware store the other day!!)

sorry for the long ramble i just love her so much and reading that post immediately made me think of that one court case from Legally Blonde with the hairspray 🥺 bimbo reader is sooooo cute and smart <3

YEAH!! ABSOLUTELY! OH U GET IT

U GET IT SO WELL!! smooching u so bad rn i hope u know that <33

I CHOSE O-CHEM BC OF THE BIT W HER DOING SKIN CARE ROUTINE W SIMON!! she’s very careful with her products!! not only because of repercussions regarding health reasons, but also? shit’s expensive. so no wonder she’s knowledgeable about these, and it’s so easy to translate it to her class!

n the classical studies? i see her getting into it bc shes tryna wrap her mind around the concept of fraternities and sororities. it snowballed from there!! it went from “what are panhellenic brotherhoods?” to “what are ancient cults?”!! so next sem, best believe she signed up for that course <33

and AHH YEA THAT is exactly why she can assemble ikea-instructions!! she can (and does) take care of her body art – piercings, tats, and fake nails – because she understands that u have to put in the work for something beautiful! and this is also why shes so patient when it comes to assembling stuff! it’s just natural for her atp to have to follow long winded instructions for somethings! AND YES, ABSOLUTELY, TO THE PINK TOOLSET! it matches her pink emergency kit <33

and omg pls don’t apologize for the long ramble 🥺 i love love seeing u guys interact and have fun with my works <33 bimbo!reader is so dear to me because shes just a sweetheart :(( and i love that u guys love her back

(and u guys are right! she is so elle woods coded <33)

- Venus & Hedonism -

----------------------------------------------------------

i got 5hrs of sleep and i genuinely feel like i got hit by a fucking semi and my eyes are burning and i need my brain to turn on so im BACK

i dipped for a minute bc i found out in human design im a manifestor type so i naturally have energetic ups and downs and that explained my whole life so i wasnt abt to force myself to post- ill maybe do a post abt human design and astrology at some point but im still very much a beginner in the human design sphere of things- ANYWAY

so everyone loves venus, right- everyone views it as the planet of love and beauty and joy and all these fun things- but what if i told u it's secretly just as dark a planet as like.. any other......

and im gonna go out on an even wilder note and right off the bat tell u that i think venus is secretly the malefic planet, not saturn or mars

allow me to explain 👍

venus has several deity equivalents in different pantheons, and the first one u'll think of is aphrodite- im gonna go the egyptian route tho so get aphrodite outta ur head real quick-

in the egyptian pantheon, venus has 2 equivalents, Isis and Hathor

im personally gonna focus on Hathor bc i think she fits venus way better than isis does- (fun fact: when the greeks came into contact with Hathor’s cult, they immediately equated her to aphrodite so we're on the right track 🫡)

hathor was the egyptian cow goddess of all sorts of venus themes: dance, music, sexual love, pleasure, all that fun stuff

and u'll notice i specified "cow" goddess, which i think is funny bc venus rules taurus, the bull.

her name also specifically meant "house of horus" and she kinda had like 2 personalities- one was as a goddess of heavenly charm, and the other, "eye of re", was a goddess of destruction, so she had a duality to her bc egyptians loved that stuff i fear

so if we take this interpretation and slap it on top of venus as a planet, u can already kinda see what im sayin here

all the fun venus themes like dancin, fuckin and havin fun, can also be taken into excess

so let's look at the signs venus rules real quick

taurus is a very sedentary, hedonistic sign in general. and we all know the beef i got with earth signs, so u know how i said excess taurus placements (Excess huh. 🤨 Interesting.) in a chart are very difficult to counteract and can lead to a life of a lack of saturn themes (drive, willpower, motivation, etc)

this interpretation of venus makes that make even more sense.

taurus is essentially the lower octave of venus, it's the base instinct of pleasure, the urge to feel good no matter what- whereas libra is the higher octave of venus, it's more sensible and cognitive of what it feels, Wants to feel, and how it would impact themselves and others.

dude someone on reddit- i hate reddit so much- But someone on reddit asked me some questions when i was testing out this theory right and they asked me "so how do u explain Saturn's exaltation in libra" bc i said that venus is the opposite of saturn (we'll get there in a sec dw)

and i literally told them "it's not 👍" n here ill put the screenshot of what i said for u bc my mercury was working better that day 😵‍💫

saturn in aries and venus in libra is slay as fuck because saturn is exalted, and venus is aware of its desires and destructive tendencies, so saturn can actually balance venus out with relative ease.

venus is the opposite of saturn bc they are literally just. The Opposite. saturn wants to balance the soul vs the ego, right, and wants us to understand that eventually the ego will die when we do- whereas venus just wants to feed into the ego because it feels good.

also ya ill make another post abt libra vs gemini at some point if my manifestor energy keeps up but if it aint then im gonna dip for a minute again 😭😭😭

What the fuck was i saying oh shit dude my mercury is ASS rn-

OK so saturn and venus are opposites, and venus is hedonistic as hell- so what does venus reveal in a chart then??

... ur hedonistic tendencies... 🫡

no but fr Ok so- venus in ur chart, house placement and sign placement, reveals what you have a tendency to indulge in to a detrimental extent- it's literally- U know how everyone points at neptune and goes "🫵 addiction."

that's not rly neptune!!! that's venus!!!!

neptune can explain Why u went to the addiction or the harmful habit, venus explains What the addiction is.

so ill use myself and my mom for example bc we both have venus in aries-

venus in aries u would Think has an addiction of sexual activity or sumn bc of the mars influence but NO!!!! we've TALKED ABT MARS actually wait no i dont think i did a full mars post on here yet- Wait didnt i do the aries one... did i... or was that just a newsletter... Ok ill find whatever im thinkin of after i finish this and ill put a link at the end- ANYWAY

bear with me gang 💔💔💔

so venus in aries is Actually an addiction of planning. u might feel like u have to plan for or research EVERYTHING before u do it, u are allergic to coming unprepared- and this can be extremely detrimental bc interestingly enough, it puts a halt on the mars energy and you get so caught up in research and planning that you either dont do the thing, or you take FOREVER to get around to it

it's fr mental masturbation- kinda awful term but that's what it is 🫡

i am definitely guilty of this but my mom is more guilty i fear- she put off writing a newsletter for 6 months bc she kept feeling like she had to research the topic Thoroughly first 😵‍💫

i yapped much more thoroughly about this in the newsletter i just wrote on it, so if u wanna see what i wrote for ur venus sign here u go and i hope it checks out but if it aint that's my bad 😕

i personally have some venus in cancer tendencies as well, which i wrote as needing to feel unbridled, and that's definitely bc im a cancer rising so maybe check ur rising sign too!

But ya so venus is weird... But like kinda cool- n like i said i genuinely went way more in depth in the newsletter like this is so ass in comparison but i needed something to make my brain wake the fuck up... like that one korn song... so yknow 😵‍💫

my bad for my absence im a manifestor u gotta be nice to me ☹️💔

and for further reading:

newsletter abt aries and mars

my post abt saturn (explaining why i think it's exalted in aries)

my beef with earth signs

ok thank u im gonna go get food now im so hungry and im STILL tired 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[basilibino]

Season 8 was like 6 years ago(I feel old) and I know ppl have differing opinions on the Mr Echo thing (but it was intended, made it to storyboard and blocked animation and then dropped, soooo) but. I can see his recruitment p easily tbh. Bc the whole reason Dr J was in that lighthouse was because he was resurrected, forced there, and ordered to build Skulkin vehicles by Samukai. But Samukai in the flashback we see has already been deposed as leader of the Skulkin/Underworld. Which means the orders to do so most likely came from Garmadon.

And since Mr. E is one of the head honchos, he's likely an early arrival to the team, so I don't think Harumi has a whole lot figured out at this point, she's just got her Trauma and some Bad Influence Friends and an obsession with Lord Garmadon. So. Like. Plausible deniability road trip that she's just visiting important markers of Ninjago's recent past, all of which involve Lord Garmadon in some meaningful way; its sightseeing, its cathartic, and it gives her time to develop her dream Motorcycle Gang/Resurrection Cult. She's not looking for anyone at the Lighthouse, but she is looking for vehicle blueprints so she can be the Koolest leader on the block. But oops she looks in the basement and there's an Echo.

And she's flipping out bc??? A Ninja???? In the Lighthouse basement??? I mean it makes sense that it would be this one but???

Except this rusty old robot has no idea what she's talking about with this Ninja stuff, he's just waiting for his dad to come back.

And Harumi pauses.

Because how long has he been waiting? He's not sure, he had no proper way to measure time in the basement, and he doesn't have the best view of his clockwork heartpiece. But it was after his father saw a strange ship docking; Echo was worried it was the People who had locked up his father in the first place, but instead his dad sounded happy when he saw whoever was out there. It could have been a front, though, as clearly it was never safe to let Echo back out. Then Dr J popped down briefly, while everyone above was resting, to tell Echo he was desperately needed elsewhere, that it wasn't safe to bring Echo, but that he'd be back in no time.

And the pieces are fitting together for Harumi. And she's like. Your dad's dead, bro.

And he's like. What? Did he die doing what was needed of him?

And she's like. Oh, no. He died a few years later.

And he's like. Why didn't he come back for me????

And she's like. Probably because they kept him away.

And he's like. Who's they?

And she's like. The Ninja I was talking about earlier.

And it surely can't be hard in universe to find pictures of Zane and Dr J post s2-pre s3, so she pulls one up and shows Echo who is freaking out bc why is that one kind of like him and Harumi explains that that was the droid his father created first, that he became a Ninja, and that hes probably the one who took their father away and kept echo waiting for years.

But Echo has doubts, shocked as he is abt a new older brother, he wants to believe the good in the situation so he's unsure. But Harumi mentions that the Ninja's failures to uphold more than their self preservation/interests has led to uncountable losses and devastation in Ninjago time and time again, before delving into her own story. And she seems so kind, and so hurt, and I do think there's a genuine connection btwn these two that forms from this shared emotional torment that they decide came from the Ninja, and now Echo is more receptive.

And then Harumi gets to start her Garmadon pitch because wait! If Echo was made here, then that could only have happened because of Lord Garmadon. And she reiterates that he's the reason she and her city could have even survived The Great Devourer. And maybe Echo's family-by-creation left, maybe they were untrustworthy and lacking, but that's OK bc if you look at it all a certain way, Garmadon is more of a father to Echo than Dr J was. And Echo is a vulnerable, overwhelmed mess who just found out his dad fucked off for years without him and also died, and also he has a brother??? Who their dad clearly seems to have favored??? Did they even know about Echo??? Did they delight in their life free of him???

Basically. Kinda Spinel-core but getting abandoned and left completely alone does that to you. Especially when the first person to find you after being abandoned is a deeply hurt and misguided teen who is probably kinda desperate for someone, anyone else to see the Ninja the way she sees them.
