#justice to queen nicky

[someonelookingpretty]

No, actually, I’ve decided I hate this now. Because I’ve mentally planned out the entire deck and now I will lie awake for eternity thinking of the way an actual aftg tarot deck would feel in my hands.

🌿 March Patreon print 🌿

PAC: Energy Check-In

Hello beautiful people! I have been so inconsistent with posting. Thank you all for your patience. But anyway, tonight's reading will consist of an energy check-in. We all need one, even me! Also, the Five Dollar Friday Sale will still happen! It will take place from 12 AM-11PM. Thank you guys so much for your support! Don't forget to check out the guidelines before booking with me. Dm me privately if you have any questions. Without further ado, please select your pile!

Left-to-Right: (1-3)

Pile One: I feel like you are currently trying to figure out what to do with yourself. I heard "I got so much energy!" in my head. Your sacral chakra is booming. I feel like you could be super horny or feeling like you need to create something. But you are trying to figure out a way to do this in an appropriate manner. The solution will come quick. There could be a partnership coming your way that will allow you to be more free flowing. It is essential at this time that you find ways to express yourself. Do not feed into self-limiting beliefs. You are prone to making impulsive decisions like dying your hair late at night or buying clothes that you won't even put on a year from now. Focus on what will fulfill you in the long run and stop trying to scratch an unscratchable itch. It will make you see things much easier.

Cards Used: 8 of Swords, 5 of Swords, The Hierophant, Ace of Wands, 8 of Wands, Queen of Wands.

Pile Two: Someone has you feeling real good. Princess treatment will do that to you. When you have the right people around you, you feel unstoppable. I heard "Who you feeling like?" in my head. Right now, you could be receiving lots of compliments, which boost your morale as a result. I am seeing a young girl toss her hair from side to side with her fingertips. In the back of your mind, you may worry about how long this version of you will last. You need to not allow the past comments of hate get to you at this time. Do not self-sabotage yourself because people could not see the light in you. Let the haters do the hating for you. You could have Saturn in the 12th house which relates to the subconscious. You need to have conversations with your inner child to heal. Move forward from the angst and the hurt people have caused you. Start anew. And most importantly, forgive yourself.

Cards Used: Ace of Wands, 2 of Cups, 10 of Cups, King of Discs, 4 of Cups, The Devil, 6 of Cups.

Pile Three: You are in this lover girl energy. It almost feels familiar --- the scenario that you have found yourself to be in. You need to look closer with this person. Everyone will pass your test if you don't do any further investigation. You have the tendency to get "stuck on" crushes for a long time. You could be prone to limerence. You are going to get the answer that you are looking for, a reality check. But it will be in your best interest, don't worry. You are trying to investigate from afar but this won't really benefit you. You need to pay close attention and start being less lenient. You're a cute girl and you know that, don't you? But what is cute if it means you lose your mind every time you find someone attractive? Part of your lesson in this life is to be more comfortable with accepting your beauty as is. You are not incomplete if you are not in an "OTP", love.

Cards Used: The Moon, The Empress, 4 of Discs, 4 of Wands, 10 of Cups, 5 of Wands, Justice, 2 of Discs

How do men view you?

Pile 1-(The Fool, Queen of cups rx, King of swords, King of pentacles, Knight of pentacles, Page of pentacles rx) Angel Answer: Romance

I keep hearing the terms "sexy" and "sultry". Men feel like you're always down to have a good time. You're a very fun person to be around. They feel like you don't have time for a relationship or you reject many suitors lol. Some of your suitors could feel like you're naive or they could play you. I feel like this is a false perception though. You’re smarter than what people give you credit for. I heard “I peep everything”. You could dress more masculine or you're just more in that energy. You look like you're made of money. You're always working on stability in your life and you're persistent with your goals. You're very mature and responsible as well. Also, I feel like someone here has been contemplating if they should start dating again. You should put yourself back out there! This is a very abundant time for you.

Pile 2-(The Hermit, Justice rx, 5 of swords rx, Page of cups, 8 of swords, 5 of wands rx) Angel Answer: Trust

You're closed off and don't talk to many people. You seem to enjoy being alone. You've been through many situations where you've been treated unfair and unjust. You could have some emotional baggage from an interpersonal relationship or you could feel stuck in your current environment. However, I feel like you've been trying to start over and make peace with these situations. I keep hearing "rewriting my story". You're very imaginative and creative. You have so many creative endeavors you should share with the world!

pile 3-(The Chariot, 10 of wands, 8 of swords, 8 of wands, Judgement rx, 2 of wands) Angel Answer: No, The situation will improve

You've overcome many obstacles in your life. You could overwork yourself a lot. You have many responsibilities or obligations. You could feel trapped in your job situation. Either you go out a lot or you're always traveling. You're a risk-taker. Many men feel like you're ahead of them in life. You definitely intimidate them lol.

Pile 4-(King of pentacles, Death, King of swords, 8 of cups rx, The Lovers, King of wands) Angel Answer: A year from now

You're a very successful and abundant individual. You've gone through many transformations in your life. Maybe you've moved around a lot? You're very authoritative as well. I heard that Nicki lyric "When I walk in sit up straight, I don't give a f*ck if I was late." Someone here could be a teacher. Many look up to you. A lot of men feel like you're their soulmate or like ya'll we're destined to meet. A lot of men get stuck on you. They feel like they can never meet your standards.

hi queen (ignore this if i already sent this in, but i was really not sober when i sent in the first one so i can’t remember if i actually sent it or not god bless) but if it’s not too late for the WIP game what is the aftg x tlou wip 🙏 i’m obsessed with both tlou and aftg so im so curious

i realize i've answered you months ago but i'm in a yapping mood about that wip so hiiiiiiiii (i need to vent about Abby Winfield so this does not end up in the fic)

one of my BIGGEST struggle so far is to not make Abby unlikeable...

(if you are new to the blog, Adler does not like Abby here✨)

but because this is a Wymack-centric, Wymack pov fic, she's gotta be there, and i gotta respect Wymack's choice, so i gotta do her justice somehow

(no there will not be Wymack/Abby in this fic, nor any of mine ever, bc i cannot stand this puta)

now here is my dilemma: who tf do i cast her as?

obviously it should be Tess. obviously. i can work my way around making them NOT in a relationship, that's fine, Joel/Tess is complicated and murky too; what i cannot seem to reconcile is how Abby is so meek compared to Tess...

pros: Abby still being a nurse in this verse would give her the curiosity to prob at Neil's case of immunity

cons: it's Neil she's dealing with. never gonna get anything out of him, no chance in hell. so if she does not have the info on a potential cure, if she does not get hopeful, what is her motivation here? why would she care about him? the Foxes are not a thing, Neil's 18, plus she's not doing it for Wymack bc he doesn't want to have anything to do with Neil!

why would she sacrifice herself for Neil's "cause" ???

i love how all of this bs is just me trapping myself with personal hcs✨ (ut then it wouldn't be my fic otherwise, would it?)

so if she's not Tess, who is she?

she could be Rhemann's wife in /Jackson/, but AGAIN, Maria is strong af, and Abby is... Abby. Rhemann could build the commune and Abby be his nurse/medic wife, but that's erasing a woman in power, a Black woman no less, so i don't really vibe with that... plus now i just got a lightbulb moment, so yeah, ok, she could be just a wife with no real purpose in /Jackson/ (hey, that sounds an awful lot like her role at PSU... jk jk)

but more importantly, if she's not Tess, who is?

Rhemann, Kevin, Neil, Andrew, Aaron, Jeremy, Jean, Thea, Matt, Seth, Robin, Renee, Allison, Stuart, Ichirou, Riko, Tetsuji, Mary, Nathan, Lola, Nicky, Erik, Tetsuji, Kengo have all alreayd been cast/have a role 😅

who's left: Laila, Cat, Katelyn, Dan...

could it be Dan? his second-in-command, his captain, yes, but he's already lost Kevin, and killing off one of his adoptees for another does not make sense 😭

ok i'll admit all this mental gymnastics was really fun + i figured it out while ranting, so yay! yay me! thanks Jess for letting me use your ask to go a little mad 😅🫶

stay tunèd <3

[starsinkpop]

will Ateez domestic popularity rise , what is holding them back domestically

Will their domestic popularity rise?

Nine of Wands, Knight of Swords, XVI The Tower, XI Justice

Yes, but it will take time. Karmateez is a thing that shouldn’t be underestimated tho. Whenever things seem to go down bad for the boys, Karma will strike back and kinda even things out and bring them closer towards their goals. Karma and luck will always be on Ateez’s side. But I think Atiny and Ateez need to be very patient.

What is holding them back from domestic popularity?

Two of Cups, Four of Wands (R), Queen of Cups (R), Four of Cups

Honestly, it’s contracts and partnerships. KQ made some poor decisions and signed contracts for ateez that kinda keep them away from actually climbing up in domestic fame. Those contracts seemed good at first glance but are kinda firing back one after another. KQ allows other companies to use Ateez for events and stuff. Like for example mnet. Mnet does like 1928291 KCONs a year and will always use Ateez as THE act but will never actually recognize and appreciate Ateez’s actual work (just look at the MAMA nominees that dropped today, says it all tbh). Also, this no shade towards other groups, I’m a passionate multi stan and everyone works hard, but knetz seem to enjoy more mainstream concepts in music. Like, anything that’s “trendy”now and they kinda ignore anything that’s outside the box. Now ateez has a quite specific and unique concept that is especially loved overseas but doesn’t seem to be something knetz are into. Also, that’s not only a knetz thing, it’s a general problem, music these days is only seen as “good” when certain achievements are reached. It’s only about likes and views but not about the actual art. So another reason why they’re not experiencing the domestic recognition and popularity they deserve is also because they don’t reach the numbers that other groups are reaching, so people think they’re bad or not as good as groups from for example big4. Knetz see them as weak in a way because they don’t reach the clicks other groups do.

Love,

~Nicky 🫧

[ninyard]

ok, do u watch drag race? if not i'll send you a different question, but if yes: nicky forces the foxes to watch drag race - who is everyone's favorite queen?

Unfortunately no i have never watched drag race so I don’t think I can do this one justice

BUT

you know that video of (im pretty sure) two drag queens talking about rupaul. And one of them is like “have you seen the articles?” Or something, and the other one is like “oh, what, the fracking?”

and they’re both holding X’s over their lips and rolling around the place because they definitely should not be talking about that

I picture that being like. Kevin and Neil. They’re doing a livestream thing and Kevin asks if he’s heard about what Riko did (referring to some play he did in the last weeks game) and Neil’s all like “what, the abuse of his teammates?”

Cue the rolling around on screen like 🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🤫🤫🤫

Female Rappers Leading the New Era of Hip-Hop

The queens are reigning supreme in the kingdom of Hip-Hop. Nicki's rhymes rule the charts, Cardi builds her own business kingdom, and Megan rocks the stage with fearless style. They're not just rappers, they're changing the game. They're rapping real life, empowering girls, and showing everyone what it means to be strong women in music. This isn't just a fad, it's a movement, and these queens are leading the way!

Forget the tired tropes of female rappers as sidekicks or featuring as chorus. These queens are the stars, owning their sexuality, their voices, and their stories. They're rapping about everything from self-love and financial independence to social justice and mental health, all with a raw honesty and vulnerability that resonates deeply with their generation. They're unapologetically themselves, flaws and all, challenging the hyper-masculine image that once dominated the genre and proving that strength and vulnerability can coexist.

But it's not just about the mic. These queens are building businesses, launching fashion lines, and advocating for social causes. Cardi B's savvy business moves, from clothing lines to record labels, are paving the way for other female entrepreneurs. Megan Thee Stallion's vocal support for Black women's rights is amplifying important conversations. These women are not just entertainers; they're role models, showing young girls that they can be anything they set their minds to, on and off the stage.

This leadership isn't just about individual success; it's about creating space for others. Female rappers are forming powerful collaborations, lifting each other up, and fostering a sense of community that transcends traditional rivalries. From Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's chart-topping duet to the sisterhood of Cypher Queens, these collaborations are proving that women are stronger together, pushing the boundaries of creativity and inspiring a new generation of female artists.

The rise of female leadership in Hip-Hop is not just about music; it's a cultural revolution. It's about challenging stereotypes, dismantling power structures, and rewriting the rules of the game. It's about unapologetic self-expression, fierce independence, and the power of sisterhood. And it's just getting started. So, step aside, kings. The queens have the mic, and they're not giving it back anytime soon.

The Meeting pt. 3

“So what do the Giovanni have to do with it? Were they the ones to wack her?” While not on the friendliest terms, Madaline had managed cordial relations with the local Brujah leadership. If nothing else, her stand off with the Ventrue had earned her some grudging respect. But there had been nothing on the ledger that would have led to a murder of convenience. Nothing that required cutting losses quite so severely. Nicky could not think of anything that would have led to the current levels of hostility. “If that’s Jon’s grudge, I’d need some proof before taking it to the family.”

“Your cousins put out a bounty for any of her belongings. Needed something near and dear to ol’ Dana’s heart. Extra if they could provide Dana’s ashes. Rumor had it they wanted to call up her soul. Bring her back from the dead.”

“Mother already told me that my cousins were taking witness statements from beyond the grave. If that’s all you got for me….”

“Oh you don’t understand, Nicky. It weren’t to talk to her and find out her killer. When has your lot ever been interested in justice?”

“Hey. I’m sitting right here.”

“Vengeance, mebe.” Monster grinned, warming to his tale. “But then vengeance ain’t nothing more than justice with interest, ain’t that right?”

“That’s fancy philosophy for a Gangrel,” Nicky was getting impatient for the meat of the matter. “What’d my family want with Dana Stone’s soul?”

“They wanted to bring Dana back from the dead. Not to talk, to bring her back.” Monster slapped the ground in front of him, emphasizing one what side of the Shroud he was talking about. “They found a nice new body and put Dana’s soul into it. Shipped her off all wrapped up in ribbons to her Justicar. Wanted to sweet talk that ice queen into some sort of alliance. Like he was going a-courtin’.”

Nicky stared at Monster, sure that he was lying. Or exaggerating for purposes of his story. “That’s not possible.”

The lie came easily. It could be done, Nicky knew, because he had done it. But the Giovanni were in the business of collecting souls, not returning them. The cost to do such a thing was astronomical, with the chances of success to be so minimal as to not be worth the attempt. On top of that, the family had forbidden it. It would have to be a valuable soul to pay the cost of return and to risk eternal torment at the hands of the Giovanni.

Dana Stone nor the favor of her Justicar was worth that kind of risk.

“Who’s idea was that?” Nicky demanded. He had seen first hand the carnage that came from the Brujah Justicar and her idea of proper punishment for the smallest sin. There was no forgiveness for anything. To actively seek her attention? To flaunt family power in her face? Nicky was under the opinion that the Giovanni were very lucky to still be in this city at all. Little wonder the city was burning through dons faster than the family could replace them.

“That tall cocky one, the one that took over when the old don burned.”

Nicky thought of all the missed opportunities to eat Vincenzo’s fucking soul and how that could have saved all of them from having to deal with this latest fiasco. “I don’t know why that’d piss off the Brujah. They had Dana Stone back. You could almost say new and improved. Certainly that’d be worth something.”

“Oh, but that’s the best part of the story, Nicky,” Monster purred, creeping forward to share his delighted secret. “Something went wrong. The body rotted. Your cousin sent the soul of the Midwest’s most influential Brujah to her Justicar as a walking corpse. Rumor has it that her frosty bitchness had to decide to let Dana slowly rot away or put her down.”

Nicky hid his face in his hands for a moment. One didn’t trash talk family in front of outsiders. Even family you disliked to outsiders that were tolerable. This fuck up was now bigger than Vinnie failing his way upwards. Whatever his cousin had been attempting had backfired. Backfired so badly as to risk the enmity of an entire clan. Possibly the Camarilla, depending on how the Brujah pressed their cause. Nicky considered leaving Chicago within the hour. “How accurate is this information?”

“I’m not pen pals with her Fury, if that’s what you’re asking.” Monster shrugged, his interest fading now that the story was told. “But we had a wanderer come through a year ago, claims to have attended a gathering where this story was told. Was the explanation of why your clan is being uninvited from Switzerland. Prince Guillimere don’t allow no violence and easier to evict some bankers than his Justicar if you’re looking to avoid a fight.”

Nicky got up to pace, rubbing his hands together to keep them occupied. His mind raced trying to find ways around this crisis. “This…incident. How widely known?”

“Not much if you didn’t know,” Monster observed and also rose, looking more man than animal now that he was upright. “But maybe your kin didn’t see fit to tell you. Common enough among the Brujah I think, the way they’re closing ranks. Not as many Anarchs these days. A newfound willingness to take the Queen’s shilling, as it were.”

Nicky’s jaw clenched until the teeth creaked in their sockets, the pain cutting through the rage flooding through him. The enormity of Vincenzo’s blunder began to settle on him. On an average day, a room full of Brujah couldn’t agree on the color of their black leather jackets. Vincenzo had just given them a cause big enough for them to unify under. “I appreciate you talking to me, Monster.”

“Always willing to work with you, Nicky. I know you’re good for it.”

“I’d also appreciate it if you keep this incident on the same level I heard it.” Nicky could hear the expectation in Monster’s voice. It was clear they had gotten to the wheeling and dealing part of the show. “What can I do for you?”

Monster sighed explosively, looking around at the wildness of parkland gone to see, fists on his hips as if considering his options. “The fucking Torys want to make the island pretty again. Turn it back into some Japanese pleasure garden the way it was during the fair. Would appreciate you shutting that down so we can keep it how we likes it.” The Gangrel’s tone turned sly, arching one red brow. “Hear you have an affinity for roses.”

“What can I say? They love sharp pricks,” Nicky said with a self-deprecating shrug, sending the Gangrel into howls of laughter. With an amiable clap on the shoulder, Monster turned and still chuckling, disappeared into the wilds of the Wooded Island.

The recent BoF VOICES 2024 event provided a powerful platform for discussions around courage and the significance of purpose in a world filled with division and conflicting narratives. Notable figures, such as former model and advocate Bethann Hardison, drag queen Nicky Doll, and social media influencers Nara and Lucky Blue Smith, shared their personal journeys of challenging societal norms and embracing their identities. Mory Fontanez, a life coach and founder of Eight22 Group, set the tone for the final session with a profound statement: “We are living through a time that often feels insurmountably divided...the only way we can dispel this false illusion is by remembering our own light and radiating it with courage and compassion.” This call to action resonates strongly in an age where dissent and division often drown out voices of unity and hope. Finding Your Truth Nicky Doll, also known as Karl Sanchez, shared their gripping narrative of self-discovery. Growing up amidst traditional gender expectations in cultures across France and North Africa, Doll found liberation through drag. “Drag allowed me to unlock my full potential as a human being,” Sanchez revealed. The art form became a sanctuary where their femininity and masculinity could coexist harmoniously. This experience emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance, redefining how identity is expressed beyond societal constraints. Nara and Lucky Blue Smith also represent a shift in societal norms. As a couple who garnered immense online followings, they face the dual challenges of fame and public critique. Their TikTok content, featuring Nara cooking in high fashion, highlights a modern female lifestyle that some misinterpret as pushing traditional gender roles. “It's the internet. You can't believe everything you hear and see,” Lucky noted, signifying the need for resilience in the face of criticism. Their story illustrates how social media can be a double-edged sword, serving as both a platform for expression and a space for scrutiny. Finding Your Power Bethann Hardison, a pioneer in the fashion industry, discussed her lifelong mission to advocate against racism within the modeling realm. Reflecting on her early career, Hardison stated, “It’s not easy calling people out.” Yet, her humor and sharp critique have allowed her to remain a respected figure in an industry grappling with diversity and inclusion. At 82, she remains steadfast, proclaiming, “I’ll always remain an advocate of injustice.” This instance reinforces the idea that age does not diminish the power of advocacy; rather, it enhances it through lived experience and depth of understanding. Utkarsh Saxena, co-founder of an AI platform for justice, shared insights from leading a movement for marriage equality in India. Although the initial push faced setbacks, Saxena’s perseverance highlights the importance of diverse representation in advocacy. He notes, “Advocacy has to be representative, diverse and human.” This approach remains vital for sustaining long-term societal change, even amidst obstacles that seem insurmountable. Find Your Purpose Photographer Giles Duley’s experience serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of creativity. After losing limbs in an explosion while on assignment in Afghanistan, Duley faced the abyss of despair. “This is where I learned the true power of creativity and imagination,” he explained. Even in confinement, he imagined endless projects, illustrating how creativity transcends physical limitations. His journey proves that creativity can serve as an essential lifeline in overcoming adversity, fostering resilience in the human spirit. Ultimately, the discussions at BoF VOICES 2024 emphasize the need to reconnect with one’s purpose in a world that constantly challenges our identities and values. This gathering of eloquence, passion, and conviction reminds us that finding and wielding our power can lead to profound societal contributions. In conclusion,

as the narratives of change-makers like Nicky Doll, Hardison, and Saxena unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that embracing our truths, advocating for justice, and harnessing creativity is not just a personal journey but a collective one. These discussions serve to inspire individuals across all walks of life to challenge societal norms and illuminate their paths with purpose, courage, and unwavering clarity.

You got stalkers babe.

Pile 2-(The Emperor, The Star, 9 of cups, 10 of cups, The Devil, Temperance, 7 of wands)

You could be an authority figure. A lot of people look up to you. You could be in the public eye as well. Something about your authority just makes people wanna submit to you. They just wanna tend to your every need. People love your booty! You're a wish fulfillment to many. People fantasize about marriage and children with you. You're very chill and laid-back. However, you'll also fight a bitch if needed. That's so sexy. You're such a temptation. You may often attract people in committed relationships.

Pile 3-(3 of pentacles, Ace of wands, The Fool, The Tower, Queen of pentacles, 2 of swords, The Hierophant, The Sun, Temperance, 6 of wands)

You're an idealist! Someone here could be a content creator. You always come up with amazing ideas. Some of you give off the vibe of "forbidden fruit". Like people can look but they can't touch. You're either always working towards a personal goal or you're always studying something new. Someone here could be a bookworm lol. You may like to collaborate with others as well. People are highly attracted to your confidence. It's very eye-catching. There's something about the way you walk. A lot of people get stuck in their head about you. You may not give many people the time of day. You could be religious or spiritual. This is very attractive. People can tell that you cultivate a lot of inner-peace and you're very happy with yourself. You literally glow on the outside! You're not afraid to dive into the unknown and see where life takes you. For some of you, you've caused tower moments and taught a lesson to people in your past. For others, you've been through many lessons internally and you're no longer afraid of a tower moment when it's needed. People love how motherly and down-to-earth you are. They feel like they can come to you for literally anything. People really love your hair as well. Your face in general is attractive. It's very model-esque.

Pile 4-(The World, Ace of swords, The Empress, King of swords rx, 7 of cups, The Wheel, Ace of cups, 2 of cups)

You stay true to yourself no matter what! You've accomplished a lot throughout your life and you have a lot to show for it. People love your backside. There's a huge emphasis on your legs. Someone here could be tall lol. You can be manipulative at times. I don't feel like you do this on purpose tho. It's just very easy for people to get trapped under your spell. People love how you express your femininity. You have a lot of options! You're literally the ideal bf/gf to so many people. I'm getting that you can be unapproachable, so many of your suitors resort to stalking you. You bring a lot of good karma to others. You're literally a walking lucky charm.
