#knowing full well I'm a Cancer and just enjoying the show

[lilacstro]

Astro observation pt 6

well, here it is, as I got the results from the poll. hope you enjoy :))

1.People with 8th/12th house stellium often have some kind of thing of hiding. If you have Moon in 8th house too, its like, hiding but wanting to be seen at the same time. You may see these people have a social media, delete it, then probably see them posting a lot and suddenly they are gone. Its conflicting in some sense.

2. Continuing on 8th/12th house moons, apart from the cliche they dont trust people, these kinds of people have a desire to connect on a soul level to people they like, but something holds them down, I would like to guess most likely past experiences or own solid opinions on how it is or very huge inner conflict. It is very touching to them if you actually understand such people. Giving me vibes of Sia's song lyrics

"Break down, only alone I will cry out loud You'll never see what's hiding out Hiding out deep down Yeah, yeah I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show It's the only way to make friendships grow But I'm too afraid now Yeah, yeah"

I would like to add this for scorpio/capricorn/leo moons

3. Your moon sign can show how you like to relax and unwind. Infact if you are unsure on how to lift your spirits up when you are down, go to your moon sign, it works quite well imo. Example, Gemini moons may like to have a talk with friends, someone/something who can make them laugh, Leo moons may like getting a full glam time or watching some kind of entertainment, Libra moons may like doing some self care shopping/routine, retail therapy or just thinking and admiring their fav people lol or seeing pretty things scrolling pintrest

4. people with Saturn in 10th house, Saturn in Capricorn, Saturn at capricorn degrees have some kind of unbelievable drive and will for what they want. Gives me "Unstoppable" vibes.

5.I read this somewhere but I cant exactly remember where. If someone's Jupiter sign matches your moon signs or vice versa, you both have the ability to lift each others spirits. It holds 200% for me and my sister. She is libra moon and I am libra jupiter.

6. People with Saturn conjunct Jupiter/harmonious aspects often dream the big, the unachievable and are actually ready to lay the plan out and work. Somehow, they should even find the luck they need to support what they need. I would even say, if they find some kind of redirection or change in their "big plans", its often for the good.

7. As cliché as it may sound, people with major Scorpio placements/scorpio stellium have something on with black going on. Either they like black clothes, using black and white filters on their pictures often, liking nighttime, some romanticizing of melancholy through poems or sad songs, or looking good in black somehow.

8. I would say, the 12th house in someones chart can reveal a lot. Someone can lie, their birth chart cannot. The planets in 12th house or sign or the degree your 12th house can show what are your unguarded deepest thoughts. 12th house scorpios (Sag risings) can carry trauma/ resentment for the past, 12th house Venus may like to fantasize about future lovers or happy times, 12th house at Leo degrees can show you are very creative and loud at creating scenarios in your head or thinking.

9. people with moon in 9th house might pursue higher education of what they actually wanted to do since childhood. Could also be there was some influence of childhood that leads to the choice of further education. This placement also makes me think that you are studying what you actually want and connect to and most likely wont despise it.

10. I think, i read someone saying the 8th sign from your Venus placement can show what actually ends your relationship. For example 8th sign for someone with Venus in Sag would be Cancer. So making decisions when you are extremely high on emotions, the thoughts or warnings of breakups or withdrawal and not really opening up or caring about someone to a fault can ruin your relationships. I checked this for a few people and think this is actually very accurate for some reasons. If you want I can make a post on this one.

11. Mars in a women's chart can show what "bad boyfriend" she may fall for or thinks about. Mars in Taurus, someone who has money/luxury, Mars in Sagittarius? Someone who is free and adventurous and reckless kind of, Mars in Aries? Someone who is high on thrills and adventures and passion. Consider the house Mars is in for more info.

12.I again have another theory. I kind of believe that though Part of Fortune can show where you are lucky and things like that, the house /sign it may be in can show what is kind of fated in your life. In 9th house it can be your higher education, in 11th house it could be the people you meet, in 4th house could be the family you were born into. I can make another post again if y'all like.

13.Saturn conjunct moon is kind of a hard placement imo. It can again have several meanings, some of them being, having to raise your parents, your childhood was restrictive and did not allow you to show your emotions fully or an emotionally unavailable non-understanding mom. If this placement falls into your 8th/12th/4th house, it can show you carry some kind of trauma from both your parents.

14. Eros in someone's chart can show what they get turned on by. Eros in 1st house could mean you find looks very attractive at first sight HOWEVER it could be, that people find you super sexy at first sight too. Applies to other houses too.

15. People with Uranus in 3rd could change multiple schools when young. Could also be early education was very unstable and unpredictable due to multiple reasons. Maybe unavailable parents, finance issues etc.

support me on ko-fi :)

I'm a very, very kind-hearted but vulgar pan girl, 171cm/5"5 and brown eyes. INFP and zodiac Cancer. Daughter of Hypnos.

I tends to do songs puns. I love rain, video games and fantasy novels. I'm also a History nerd, i love everything war History (battles, sieges, random acts of bravery etc) and mundane History (how and what peoples used to eat, read, listen to, anything.)

I'm a loyal and secretive person (you can trust me at keeping secrets). I'm a big softie but not naive, i know the world is cruel but im as good as can be.

I'm always willing to help my friends or just peoples in general, my friends nickname me "Auntie".

UGHHHHHHH I love this character sO MUCH 😩🛐 she’s one of my favorites from the series so I rlly hope you enjoy this anon!!

Tysm for requesting!! Have a great day <3

I match you with…

Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano!!

-Disclaimer-

Since the requester did not specify the age range for the match up, I’m aging her and the character up to pair them comfortably!!

After fighting Gaea, Greek and Roman demigods practically became one big/chaotic family

From that new found partnership, an exchange program between camps Half Blood and Jupiter was created

Demigods from both camps could spend short periods of time at each other’s place, learning new skills and such

You were absolutely thrilled to participate. You loved your Greek ancestry and all but you already knew everything about it. It was time to learn everything you could about Rome and it’s rich history

Arriving on camp grounds, a guy named Frank Zhang showed you around. Apparently he was a praetor, which you thought was kind of intimidating, but the guy was so sweet and easy going that before you knew it y’all were chatting like good ol’ friends 🤝

He helped you settle into your room before sending you off to meet the other praetor, a girl about your age

She was supposed to inform you of your duties and schedule you’d be following on camp, so you made your way to the Senate House where Frank told you she’d be

As you entered the big, elegant construction, you searched for her, not having any success after investigating the main room

Well, you could sit around and wait for her… or you could snoop around a little 😋

The place was so beautiful and so full of ancient artifacts that you couldn’t help but open every single door you found 🤩

As you entered yet another corridor, you suddenly heard voice

It sounded like someone… No- a few people were arguing

As you got closer, you heard whispering, accompanied by a voice that sounded louder than the others

You walked towards the door where the noise was coming from, catching the end of a very concerning conversation

“…traitor” the whispers said

Your eyes widened

“Stop. I didn’t- it wasn’t-“ The louder voice tried

“They’re going to find out about what you did. You’ll be executed” The whispers continued

“No I- Be quiet. Go away” The voice pleaded

“Justice will be made, daughter of Bellona. You will be punished” The whispers taunted

“GO AWAY”

The sudden scream made you lose your balance, your body accidentally pushing the door that separated you and the voices open

You almost fell into the room. As you regained your composure, you saw what looked like… a few ghosts? That vanished into thin air as you stared at them, leaving you alone with a very disturbed girl

“Oh gods, I am so sorry. I was just-“ You started

Before you could finish, your back was harshly pressed against the wall, a cold knife against your throat

“Who are you?” The girl growled

It took a lot of explaining to get your throat out of imminent danger, but after finding out you were one of the Greek demigod exchangees, she quickly let you go, apologizing profusely

You were scared and extremely confused, but you also felt bad for the girl. You had intruded in something that you definitely should not have heard

By the way her pupils were dilated and hands were constantly opening and closing into a fist, it looked like she was trying to ground herself. Failing miserably at it

She asked you how much you heard of what was said in the room

You were scared, but told her the truth regardless

She seemed to be about to have a panic attack so you quickly told her that you weren’t going to tell anyone about what you had witnessed

You told her it didn’t concern you, and you’d respect that. No one would know

She was completely baffled. You were just going to keep her biggest secret- just like that? You didn’t even know her and you were offering to help? Just like that?

She was so used to having her back stabbed, to good things crumbling out of her life (I love Reyna sm omfg she deserves the world ☹️) that this just seemed like a trap

But what choice did she have other than to trust you?

She hesitantly nodded, putting her knife on its sheath

“So, who are you? I mean- what’s your name? And would you by any chance know where I could find a praetor?” You inquired, trying to change the subject

“Yeah, I know where you could find one” the girl said, her features seeming to relax slowly, turning into a small smile

“Oh thank gods, I’ve been exploring- I mean, looking around for quite some time now and-“

You were interrupted by a small laugh coming from the girl, who offered a hand for you to shake

“I’m Reyna, one of camp Jupiter’s praetors”

Well shit

The days that followed were better than you expected. Being at camp Jupiter was a bit tiresome (the place was way stricter than camp half blood) but you were learning so much about ancient Rome while meeting so many nice people that you couldn’t complain

And of course, there was Reyna. You didn’t know if she considered you her friend or if she was only being nice to you so you wouldn’t spill her secret, but you were grateful for her help anyway

If it weren’t for her, you’d be absolutely crushed in combat lessons. You seemed to find the history and strategy behind it way more interesting than actually being in it, which was rather amusing to her

You both started to spend a lot of time together, your shared interest in Rome’s past bringing you closer as the days progressed

You almost lost your shit when she showed you New Rome, your eyes shining as you asked her a million questions per second about the place

To be honest, she found it cute👀👀

You were getting kind of getting attached to her. She even read a few of the fantasy books you brought to camp so you could discuss them together

One time, you took her to play Mario Kart in your room

It ended with you almost DYING from laughing at her while she was defeated, not by you, but by the console itself and the technology that was so foreign to her

She almost killed you when you called her an old woman

After some time, everyone started noticing Reyna seemed… happier. She was less strict and way less stressed than usual🧐

Everyone knew something was definitely up when she actually laughed in the middle of a Senate meeting

Frank was walking around the room while Reyna sat down in one of the two praetor seats. She usually let him handle these types of meetings since he was new at being a praetor

He could use the experience

He went through some important notices and such, then got to talking about the last party thrown on camp grounds (this is canon!! ☝��� apparently camp Jupiter knows how to throw a good party🕺)

“…also, I know we all love a good party. But let’s go easy with the dancing while holding weapons yeah? We don’t want a murder on the dancefloor”

From where you were sitting, you immediately looked at Reyna, surprising yourself as you met her gaze

Was she already looking at you?

Your face flushed a little but ANYWAYS-

You mouthed to her, your face dead serious “…You better not kill the groove”

Fuck oh my gods that was the worse song pun EVER

Reyna couldn’t believe she let out a snort, covering her mouth in the process, regaining her composure as everyone watched her incredulously

Okay maybe she had a crush on you

It was a rainy day, just the way you loved. You were sitting in your bed, book in your lap + warm drink in your hand while you waited for Reyna to finish making hers so she could join you for a reading session

But instead of reading, you just watched her as she sat down beside you, giving you a smile before opening her book

She could feel your gaze on her. The tip of her ears started to get slightly red

“What?” She finally asked, smiling with an inquisitive eyebrow raised at you

Her smile fell as she saw your troubled expression

“Nothing. It’s just-“ you hesitated

“Hey” She said softly, closing her book while scooting closer to you

“What’s wrong?” She asked, looking into your eyes, putting a hand on your arm

You couldn’t hold it in anymore

Shifting your gaze to the ground, you asked her to tell you the truth

Did she only hang around you so you wouldn’t tell anyone about her secret?

Her eyes hardened, her hand retracting from your arm

You stared at her, waiting from an answer

But it never came

You knew it, you were right. She just didn’t wanted to hurt your feelings by admitting it

You stood up, setting your cup aside

“It’s alright, you don’t have to be around me anymore. I wont tell anyone either way-

“No! Wait” She exclaimed, grabbing your wrist before you could walk away

You turned to her, surprised

Her eyes were watering, her grip on your wrist tightening

She inhaled weakly before saying

“I’m a traitor”

“Reyna, it’s alright. You don’t have to-“ You started

She interrupted you by telling you everything. How she killed her father so she and her sister could escape, how that could get her exiled, or worse, if anyone found out

When she finished, you had a hand covering your mouth, eyes wide

“I-I didn’t tell you because I thought you wouldn’t want to be around me anymore-“

You cut her off by hugging her, catching her completely off guard

You told her you’d never distance yourself from her off of something like that

What happened wasn’t her fault

She hugged you back tightly, the tears she was holding in now streaming down her face

You pulled apart from her slowly, wiping her tears softly with your thumb

She stared at you with such intensity that it made you let out a small gasp

She suddenly put a hand on top of the one you rested on her face

Looking into your eyes, she said “I hang around you because… I care for you”

You smiled, telling her you obviously cared for her too

She laughed a little, shaking her head. “Not like that” she said

She was still sitting on your bed, while you were standing in front of her

She pulled you closer. Now, you were standing between her legs

She let go of your hand, placing both of hers tightly around your waist

Then she stood up, her face dangerously close to yours

With her lips hovering above yours, she repeated her words in a whisper

“I care for you”

Cait comp'd her book to The Locked Tomb. THE LOCKED TOMB COMBINED WITH LORE OLYMPUS. NO. NO NO NO. IN WHAT WORLD ARE THESE TWO IN THE SAME SENTENCE. I NEED TO SCREAM.

Apologies in advance, but these are two polar opposite series and it's a joke Cait thinks she can combine the two without Gideon Nav manifesting in her apartment and throwing hands. Oh my god.

I won't try to do spoilers here because I think you would personally vibe with the series, it's right up your alley and I highly recommend the audiobooks, especially while drawing. It's currently three books and the last one (the fourth book) should be out in Fall 2024. The Locked Tomb is starkly gothic and dark (gruesome death, resurrection, body horror, weird twins, turbo cancer (an actual quote from the books), and so much more), full to the brim with horror, sci-fi, and modern-day political commentary, and is apologetically queer as fuck. I'm talking lesbian enemies to friends to lovers, I'm talking Maori-coded rugby player who loves to talk about her porn magazines while trying to keep her homeless chihuahua of a girlfriend from getting herself killed (said chihuahua controls skeletons), I'm talking using clever ways to sneak in memes, I'm talking loving the side characters as much as you love the leads and the author loves them all too, I'm talking Catholic guilt but make it sexy and gay, I'm talking a literal ghost shows up with a fucking gun. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a series you need to re-read multiple times to try and figure out every little detail and people to this day are still finding out foreshadowing from the first book alone. There is no random lines or dropped ideas, every little detail is planned out and connects. It's great.

To compare a series made by an insanely smart and openly queer woman (who is also from New Zealand, shout out to Tamsyn Muir) to a series that obsesses over a straight couple down to making it a Blue Boy and Pink Girl, a series that acts like putting in queer characters are a chore, a series that treats sexual assault like a minor inconvenience at worst, a series that can't even plan a week ahead much less years, a series that is written by an immature woman-child like Rachel, is so offensive to me.

Well damnnn I'll take this as a glowing recommendation! It def sounds like something I'd enjoy. I've been wanting to get more into audiobooks so maybe I'll make The Locked Tomb my first stop ;3 If/when I do get around to it, I'll definitely let y'all know my thoughts! <3

hi @liliana-von-k, thanks for the follow! i have answered this question before but i love talking about kids in the hall and my "origin story" with them so i'm happy to tell it again (jsyk it will be a long post bc i always have to tell the full story bc i love it so much)

basically my parents have both been kith fans since the 90s, so even before i had seen any of the show itself there were certain kith quotes that were just part of my family's vocabulary. the first sketch i watched was "these are the daves i know" when i was like 8 years old and i became obsessed with that song. i watched a few other sketches/the first few episodes from season one but i didn't truly get into kith until after their documentary "comedy punks" was released

see, my mom is a big documentary person so she was like "oh hey there's a new kids in the hall documentary! do you want to watch it?" and i just kind of shrugged and was like sure i'll be in the room while it's on, probably working on my own stuff or scrolling on my phone. but like not even five minutes in i was hooked. while i'd always enjoyed kids in the hall's comedy, something about hearing the very personal histories of how the troupe came together and survived for all these years was so affecting. i think it was scott specifically that really signaled to me that this show was something special, and the part where bruce talked about comforting scott while he had cancer by telling him how the rest of the troupe would die first was so powerful. honestly no individual movie has changed my life more than comedy punks did specifically bc it gave me that push to get into kith and approached it from such a human perspective, which definitely informed my approach to the rest of their work and them as people. i remember watching comedy punks for the first time and getting this strange feeling i couldn't pin down yet that was like this is important, not just referring to the show or the troupe, but like this feeling that i had just crossed a turning point in my life, and i remember feeling this pull towards toronto which seemed frivolous at the time but has been so heavily solidified as i'm now planning to move there in just over a year.

so i bingewatched all of the kids in the hall tv show in summer 2022, as well as brain candy, death comes to town, the amazon season, etc. basically as much kith stuff as i could find. but i needed more. so i started getting into side projects, which brought me to "mouth congress" (a queer-punk band scott thompson and paul bellini had in the early 80s that they've recently started putting out new music with again). i found a youtube channel with a bunch of recent live performance clips of the band and each video had like less than 10 views. so since i didn't have anyone to infodump about kith with irl (aside from my very patient mother lol) i started commenting on every video, complimenting the performances and pretending i was talking to a friend, confident no one would actually see it

after 2 weeks of this, turns out someone did see it. PAUL BELLINI HIMSELF. this led to a whole back-and-forth which eventually ended up with him emailing me a copy of the unreleased mouth congress documentary, i emailed back asking if he'd be interested in meeting on zoom (since i am a queer comedy writer myself so both he and scott are my biggest comedy inspirations), and yeah bellini is a delightful person to talk to and we very quickly became friends. i ended up offering to run mouth congress's social media, which can be found on both tumblr and instagram as @mouthcongress and posts both vintage videos from the 80s/90s and recent live clips. they're currently working on an album of entirely new material written in the past 2 years which is going to be released soon (we don't have a specific release date but the recording is completed and they've started filming music videos for it!! but i'm getting ahead of myself lmao)

a few months pass and mouth congress is set to perform at a new year's eve show at a local club in toronto. i'd never been to toronto before, never even left the united states, but paul says it would be so great to have me there and by some miracle my parents say yes to making the trip (they still can't believe this is happening either, since they were kith fans first!). the trip is wonderful, i immediately fall in love with the city, i get lunch with paul irl for the first time and get to have my very first face-to-face conversation with my number one comedy inspiration scott thompson. it's honestly a little awkward but in an adorable funny way. i also have my first legal drink at that show (bc canadian drinking age is lower than the us), specifically saying i want to have my first drink with buddy cole, which both scott and paul are very into

it's actually only a couple weeks until i'm in toronto again, because scott is debuting a new buddy cole show consisting of monologues that were all censored by amazon that he pitched during the revival season. this is my first time traveling a long distance without my family which my mom is anxious about so paul bellini lets me have him as my emergency contact. the show is amazing, i get to stay for the afterparty, and while i'm there i casually mention that i'm surprised no one has made a buddy cole documentary yet. like, this character has such a rich history even beyond the kids in the hall (which i can infodump about all day lmao) and is such an important staple of queer comedy that doesn't get the attention he deserves. the kith documentary is great, but where's my buddy cole documentary? paul accepts my pitch (that i didn't even realize i was pitching), passes along the idea to scott, and yeah now i'm legit directing a film with my number one comedy heroes and i haven't even graduated college yet. what the fuck. i expected this to be the type of thing i accomplish over 20 years into my career, not at twenty!! so yeah that's how the buddy cole documentary started. i'm still in preproduction on it but we're launching an indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for it in the next 2 weeks bc this has evolved into a full feature-length film with some incredible celebrity interviewees, both kith and otherwise.

anyway a few months later it's announced bruce mcculloch is bringing his one-man-show to the city i go to school in. not only that, but his theater is literally 2 blocks from campus. i ask paul if he'd give me bruce's contact so i can set up an interview for my school's newspaper, paul gives me bruce's assistant's email, and i set up a 30-minute zoom two weeks before bruce will be in town. the conversation honestly goes bizarrely well. like it's honestly surreal how close bruce and i got after only knowing each other for a half hour? he's such an easy person to talk to and literally by the end of that conversation he was already calling himself my mentor, asking about my comedy, and offering to let me meet him backstage after his show. which is exactly what i did, launching yet another incredible friendship-slash-mentorship with one of the kids in the hall.

bruce eventually signed on to executive produce the buddy cole documentary (alongside paul bellini), i've been up to toronto in january, april, june, august, and october this year (so essentially every 2 months, though it was slightly offset by going twice in january) and i'm planning on going up in december, every time not only do i find time to meet up with scott, paul, and bruce but they all deliberately try to reserve as much "jess time" as they can because i have a unique and powerful friendship with each of them, every time i finish a new creative project paul has to see it bc he loves how ambitious i am, i repeatedly wake up to texts scott sends me at 3am about the documentary and how excited he is to have me on tour with him to film it next year, bruce thinks it's hilarious he used to think i was "shy" bc i've gotten so comfortable going on infodumps and tangents about things i'm passionate about, and the three of them all feel like extended family. best of all, i actually have plans to graduate from college a semester early so that i can use the money (and time) i've saved to find a place in toronto and start making even more connections with the comedy community up there (also for the record: no i have not met mark, kevin, or dave yet. i know kevin is aware of my existence from bruce giving me a shoutout at a show they both did but that's about it. but i know i will interview all of them for my documentary)

so anyway that's how i got into kids in the hall. i know only the first 2 paragraphs answer your question, but at this point my love for this show has become so so intertwined with my relationships to bruce and scott and paul as humans that i don't really consider getting into kids in the hall and getting to know the kids in the hall as separate things in my life.

(also if you have any follow-up questions on anything mentioned feel free to reply or dm me, this goes for everyone else too!)

[kisses-for-you]

Ill - Kory Anders

Kory Anders X Fem!Reader

Summary: You've been diagnosed with a serious illness that Kory is about to find out about.

Word Count: 1,099

⚠️ Warnings: Cancer.

You snuggle comfortably into Kory's warm embrace, feeling the gentle rise and fall of her chest. Kory wraps her arms protectively around you, creating a cosy cocoon of affection. As you lay entwined, you listen to the sound of Kory's soothing heartbeat that syncs in perfect harmony with your own. In that peaceful moment, time seems to slow, and the world outside your embrace fades away.

As you lay there, you notice Kory starting to slowly doze off. You loved moments like this. Just you and your girlfriend with not a care in the world. But that's where you're wrong. There's one thing you haven't been able to stop thinking about. Your cancer.

You got diagnosed with it around a month ago, pancreatic cancer. Unfortunately for you, it's already spread and it's in its advanced stages, which means it can't be treated. Or rather it can but it's highly unlikely that it'll work. So why bother? You should've noticed the signs, maybe then you wouldn't be in this situation, worrying about how long you have left with your girlfriend, wondering what your last moments with her will be. But then again - the doctors did say your specific type of cancer is hard to detect in its early stages. So is it really your fault that you didn't notice?

Maybe you didn't notice but Kory did. Of course, she still doesn't know about the cancer. You just don't have the guts to tell her. However, she noticed the constant tiredness and the sudden weight loss. You did try to convince her it was just exhaustion from how hard you were working but she knew better. She knew you were lying and she knows you still are, no matter how much you try to convince her otherwise.

Your thoughts come to an end when you hear Kory's light snores coming from behind you, telling you she's asleep. As carefully as you can, you slip out of her grasp and leave your room. You head to the kitchen for a glass of water, your mind starting to race with thoughts of your illness once again. The sound of footsteps approaching snaps you out of your train of thought.

"Y/N, is everything okay?" Kory asks.

You turn around to find Kory standing in the doorway to the kitchen, concern etched across her face. You force a smile, trying to hide the weight of your secret.

"Yeah, everything's fine. Just couldn't sleep, you know?" you reply, attempting to sound casual. Kory narrows her eyes slightly, sensing that you're lying to her yet again.

"Y/N, don't lie to me," she says softly, stepping closer. "You've changed, you know? You're always tired and you've lost so much weight in such a short amount of time - Y/N, just talk to me, please."

Your forced smile wavers as Kory's genuine concern pierces through your attempts to conceal the truth. You take a deep breath, trying to choose your best words very carefully.

"Kory, it's just... I've been feeling a bit off lately," you admit, still covering up the full truth. "But it's just stress from how much I've been working. I just need a small break and I'll be fine, really."

Kory studies your face, her eyes searching for reassurance. Despite your attempt to downplay it, she knows there's still more than you're telling her. "Y/N, I know you better than anyone. This isn't just stress. Please, talk to me. I want to help."

The lump in your throat grows heavier, but you manage to respond, "Look, Kory, I'm not going to burden you with my problems so let's just enjoy the moments we have together, okay?"

Kory's slowly getting tired of your bullshit and it shows when she accidentally snaps with a slightly raised voice, "Well I can't really enjoy the moments we have together if all I can think about is how my girlfriend keeps lying to my face and I can't stop worrying about what's wrong with her."

Your heart pounds as Kory's words hang in the air, her frustration palpable. You take another deep breath, realizing that you can't keep evading the truth any longer.

"Kory, I..." Your voice falters, and you lock eyes with her, vulnerability laid bare. "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to worry, but it's more than just stress. I've got cancer, and it's... I'm not getting treated. It's too advanced and it's already spread. The doctors said I've got about a year left at best."

Kory's eyes widen, her initial frustration replaced by shock and concern. She takes a step closer, the gravity of your words sinking in. "Y/N, why didn't you tell me? How long have you known?" Her voice trembles with a mix of emotions.

You hesitate before responding quietly, your voice barely above a whisper, "Like a month.."

"A month? And you didn't even think to tell me?!" Kory exclaims before falling silent, her gaze shifting between disbelief and sorrow.

"I didn't want whatever time I had left with you to be spent grieving someone who's still alive!" you say, your voice breaking as tears well up in your eyes.

She reaches out to gently hold your hands. "Y/N, I get that you were just trying to spare me the pain, but keeping such a big secret from me hurt me more. We're in this together, no matter what. I want to be here for you," Kory says, her voice filled with sincerity and love.

You try to speak but your words are cut short by the sound of your sobs. Tears stream down your cheeks as Kory pulls you into a tight hug, her arms wrapping around you, allowing you to feel safe and protected as if nothing else matters. She holds you close, and you can feel her heart beating against yours.

You lean your head on her shoulder, your tears staining her shirt. Yet she doesn't seem to mind. She's just glad she can be there for you in some way. In that moment of vulnerability, Kory holds you tighter, the room filling with your quiet sobs.

"I'm so sorry, Y/N," Kory whispers, her voice calm and soothing as she continues to embrace you. "I wish this hadn't happened to you. I wish you didn't have to go through this."

Your tears eventually come to an end and you look up at Kory, your eyes still red and puffy. "I love you so much, Kory," you say. She responds, a sad smile on her face, "I love you too, Y/N,"

Can you do jin fs reading plz

jin's future spouse

based on tarot, take it with a grain of salt

what kind of a person is his future spouse?

world, 10ofp, aceofc, 4ofc - aceofp, knofc, 8ofp, queofw, 3ofc

almost too "perfect" looking. very proportionate and symmetrical face. naturally beautiful. big and expressive eyes. full and plump lips. look kinda unapproachable. might wear a lot of expensive jewellery. perhaps a cancer or taurus rising.

wow, this person is incredibly charming. the type of person who is known to be liked by everyone, very popular and sociable. i get the three of cups for them in every single reading, so it's very likely to be someone out of his circle of friends. they exude and radiate a lot of confidence, probably turn heads and get attention wherever they go. someone who looks rather hard to approach but once you do, they'll surprise you with how friendly they actually are. i do believe they have a great understanding of their own charm, so they use it to their advantage sometimes. i don't think they're necessarily nice by nature lol, but more when it serves them? very cancer of them. they just know how to adjust their attitude and mood to get what they want, definitely a clever person. also extremely hardworking. surprisingly grounded and willing to humbly learn when it comes to their work. i don't think they're extremely rich but well off enough to show off whenever they get some nice clothing or accessories. they enjoy taking care of their appearance and carry themselves in a very poised manner.

what kind of a relationship will they have?

3ofw&10ofw, 6ofc, 5ofsw&5ofc&5ofp, 2ofw, queofc&just

i honestly think jin and his fs already shared a good amount of nice memories together. i'm not sure if it's necessarily romantic, but there are some warm feelings towards one another. i think they might be just very good friends right now. it seems like jin being in the military is weighing on his fs a little, they seem to miss him. they have a very sweet dynamic, i see them teasing each other a lot. i believe it will take a while for these two to really engage in anything seriously romantic. there's going to be many setbacks and a feeling of defeat and emptiness, i think especially on his fs' side. but i also can see them being very emotionally mature and capable of making balanced decisions, staying fair and rational when they need to be. you have to understand dating bangtan members comes with a whole different set of difficulties compared to other idols, since there's so many outside influences that can become obstacles, including the fame. many of them will probably take longer than average to really settle down, but jin's fs is very understanding of that.

what is their current energy like?

judg, queofsw, empr, queofp, 3ofc, death+sun+5ofw

they seem to be living a period of transformation right now. i think they're really starting to understand how to develop into their best self and are trying their best to nurture their emotional and more feminine side while also remaining careful, cautious and rational enough when circumstances require that. three of cups coming out again, so they're definitely not living through this alone and spending most their time with other people. they seem pretty extroverted so that might be their way to cope with some difficult transitions. there might've been some instances in which they got into disagreements with people, perhaps at work, which kinda opened their eyes to some things. they give me pretty competitive vibes, so they seem to be almost thriving in an environment in which they have to prove themselves and hold their ground. very strong person, for sure.

[ghoooooooooooooooost]

thinking abt yakuza 8.... under a 'keep reading' bc i rambled again

i mentioned this before but i'm actually glad they brought kiryu back for y8 now. as much as i liked y6 it had. a lot of problems n i know ppl who understandably didn't enjoy the main story of 6 at all. watch GC Vazquez's y6 vid to get what i mean if u don't know (edit from the future: now that tehsnakerer's vid is out i recommend his more but you can watch both if you want)

(i thought i said this here before but i guess not? maybe i only said it on priv-) i think what little i've seen of y8 so far feels "kinder"? more "sincere"? as a send off than 6 despite the cancer thing ykwim. idk if that makes sense when i don't fully know the plot yet. basically it's better bc ichiban is there or something i can't explain it properly rn it has good vibes ok !!

i hope kiryu has a good time n it looks like he will bc ichiban got him finally singing judgement (his canon favorite song!!) again

but then y8 absolutely has to be THE send off for kiryu right...? like he can Not keep showing up in the main story after this there's no way. that makes me so scared that we're gonna see him actually die especially with the cancer reveal. surely they wouldn't... surely...... i don't want them to do another fake-out but idk if i can handle kiryu dying for real... :(

i'm also hoping for a better conclusion with haruka, since there's that whole plot of kiryu's cover being blown so she'd definitely notice n want to talk to him right (unless she can't bc he's in a whole different country but he's gotta at least mention her in depth)

also why is kaito in gaiden btw

also-also i saw some random person on twitter complain abt y8 'undoing' y3 n saying that they were done w the series. i have no idea what they were talking abt. did i miss something major in a trailer??? (admittedly i'm trying to avoid watching all of them bc i wanna be as blind as i can be). well either way more ichiban for me, retcons won't stop me this series is already full of them

*^mid post i realized they might just be talking abt richardson being in the karaoke scene HELPP LMAOO idgaf that's probably his secret twin double or something. rubber bullets

aaaaaanyway in conclusion i'm trying not to get my hopes too high but failing bc i'm really interested in wtf they're gonna do w y8's plot specifically w kiryu. also i missed ichiban n will kiss him

Hey, Phoebe!! :)

Okayyyyyy one more- Uhhhh alrighttt

Reading Fanfics for TMNT~ I cannot say this enough. The TMNT fandom is the greatest I've ever seen and been a part of. It is FULL TO THE BRIM with creatives who love the shows, the comics, the movies.. And when I find a story written by someone about TMNT, I am so excited to read it. :) Yours especially, @phoebepheebsphibs!! Yours and @boots-with-the-fur-club's "Double Mutated Mikey", as well as "Until I Found You", "No Fun in Fungus", and "Hide N Seek" have all been such amazing reads. And they've all inspired me so much not only as an author myself, but as an artist too!! So thank you for all the inspiration you have sparked in me through your beautiful stories. :)

Reading Fan Comics for TMNT~ AGAIN WITH WITH THE INCREDIBLE FANDOM!!! Tumblr is packed with so many beautifully and skillfully illustrated comics. Here's but a few that I've really enjoyed!! :) ( @indieyuugure's Rise of the Parallel, Indie TMNT, and The Mutation Situation, @allyheart707's Little Subjects, @kathaynesart's Replica, @renisrandom's In My Heart I Know, @heretherebeturtles-comic, and many many more. :)

Drawing the TMNT brothers being goofy/angsty/hilarious

Drawing the TMNT brothers being sad/depressed/struggling. Mostly to help cope myself, and help others cope. The saying " Write what you know" really is true. When you're struggling/sad/angry, one of the best things I have done to help calm myself down is draw how I feel. ( TW cancer/death )A while ago, one of my church friends passed away very quickly from cancer. It happened so fast, in fact, that I never got to say a proper goodbye. So, with these unbridled emotions, I drew a mini comic, passing down how I was feeling to Mikey mourning over losing Klunk, his cat. It helped me EXPONENTIALLY to just get my feelings out, but in a way that wouldn't hurt me or anyone else. And I recommend doing it for anyone who's hurting. <3

Knowing I'm not alone~ I have my family, I have God, I have Jesus Christ, I have my friends here and in my every day life, I have art, I have creativity, and I have a community. :)

Thank you for the ask, Phoebe!! Felt good to get that all out. :)

For genshin impact and mha, romantic matchup please! ❣️ (I put this picture to help with what I look like, idc if you show it if you need to.)

She/they, bisexual, 19

I have blueish-gray eyes with red hair that's in a side shave (like one side on my hair is shaved). I am chubby, I have tons of freckles except on my face. I like wearing emo style clothes or comfy clothes like hoodies and sweats. I hate dresses and shorts, I don't like showing off skin.

Likes: anything with drawing/painting, games including board games, reading and writing.

Dislikes: uhhh spiders, driving (I refuse to get a driver's license it's a huge fear of mine.) I'm not scared of being in a car just driving it.

Isfp-t or my kin itto and scaramouche, I am a cancer. People say I have rbf (resting bitch face). Though I am really nice to people, unless they mess with the people I care about then I couldn't care less about them. I try to be helpful when I can. When I am around people I know, I can be loud and talkative (the loud part isn't on purpose it's just when I'm happy or excited). I tend to put people a lot before myself. I don't really like talking about my personal issues to anyone and can be known as the therapy friend. It's the opposite though when I'm around people I don't know, I'll be quiet and not wanting to interact. I have adhd, depression and anxiety (wonderful I know). When I do get upset I don't talk and won't interact until I have calmed down. I do cuss a lot though I'm more careful when I'm around kids/people I don't know. If I have a fight with someone I prefer to sit and talk it out and hate it when they walk away from me when I'm just trying to talk to them.

My favorite nation is fontaine (mostly because you can go underwater and I love sea animals, my favorite element is electric (fire is a close second).

I like a lot of the charactersin genshin but imma put the ones I don't wanna be matched with: heizou, kazuha, female characters (I don't know I just don't like the female characters romantically).

I don't write for genshin impact but with some help from an expert (a friend who plays it... 🤡) I matched you. 💘💘

After a long time of thinking 💭 your match is...

Hawks How it started:

Hawks soared through the sky, the wind ruffling his feathers as he patrolled the city. He had always been carefree, enjoying the freedom that came with being a hero. As he flew, he spotted a commotion down below. Curiosity piqued, he descended to investigate.

There, amidst a group of people, was you, Hawks couldn't help but notice the genuine kindness that radiated from you. As Hawks approached, you were helping a child who had dropped their ice cream, offering them a comforting smile. The kid's tears turned into a grin, and their parents thanked you profusely. Hawks couldn't help but be captivated by your selflessness, and your willingness to help others.

He landed gracefully nearby, his easygoing and relaxed demeanor in full display. "You know," he began, his jovial attitude shining through, "you've got a way with people. I've seen you around, and it seems like you're everyone's go-to when they need a pick-me-up."

You glanced at him, the hint of a smile tugging at the corners of your lips. "Well, I guess I like making people happy."

Hawks chuckled. "You and me both. Say, how about we grab some coffee sometime? I'd love to get to know you better."

Your heart skipped a beat, and you couldn't help but nod, your RBF softening. "Sure, that sounds nice."

And just like that, amidst the chaos of the city, Hawks found himself falling for the kind-hearted, artistic, and unique person that was you.

General headcanons:

💘Like any couple, you have disagreements from time to time. However, you both prefer sitting down to talk things out rather than letting arguments fester, which only strengthens your bond.

💘You often sketch or paint during your coffee dates, and Hawks loves watching you work on your art

💘Hawks is always there to support you, whether it's attending your art exhibitions or offering a listening ear when you're dealing with personal issues. He values your friendship and partnership immensely.

💘There are moments when neither of you feels the need to fill the air with words.

💘Hawks occasionally surprises you with small gifts related to your interests.

Childe How it started:

On a crisp, sun-dappled morning, you were on your way to visit a friend, comfortably clad in your favorite hoodie and sweats. As you strolled along the scenic path, absorbed in thought about the day ahead, you suddenly heard the unmistakable sound of a Hydro arrow whizzing through the air. Turning quickly, you spotted Childe, in the midst of a daring battle against some pesky Hilichurls. His wild grin and the way he effortlessly moved through the fight were both captivating and bewildering. It was a spectacle of pure energy and recklessness.

Drawn to the chaos of the battle, you watched with fascination. As the last Hilichurl fell, Childe turned to face you, his clothes a little disheveled and his expression alight with mischief.

"Quite the show, don't you think?" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

You couldn't help but chuckle at his audacity. "Impressive," you admitted, giving him a playful smile. Childe's grin widened, and he extended a hand. "I'm Childe, by the way. I couldn't help but notice you on your way somewhere. Mind if I join you?"

Your heart fluttered as you took his hand, a sensation you hadn't expected. His impulsive nature was infectious, and before you knew it, you were walking together, discussing everything from art and games to your shared love of the electric element.

Over time, Childe's thrill-seeking spirit and your quiet, supportive nature seemed like a strange but perfect match. And it was during that first walk, amid laughter and the occasional drawn-out silences, that Childe realized he was falling in love with the enigmatic traveler with red hair. For someone who viewed himself as a miscreant, he had unexpectedly found someone who made his heart race with a different kind of excitement, the thrill of love.

General headcanons:

💘Your quiet and introverted nature contrasts sharply with Childe's impulsiveness and outgoing demeanor. At first, it seems like an odd pairing, but over time, you find that your differences complement each other perfectly.

💘Childe loves watching you paint and sketch, often silently admiring your artistic talents.

💘You introduce Childe to your love for board games, and it becomes a favorite pastime for both of you. The competitive spirit comes out, and these game nights often end in laughter and playful arguments over who cheated during the game.

💘Childe may be a bit of a miscreant, but when it comes to your well-being, he's incredibly protective and supportive.

💘Childe finds your emo style endearing and often playfully teases you about it.

I'd appreciate it if you'd reblog this, and I hope you enjoyed reading it <3

Heyaaa can I get a match up for Attack on Titan? <3

Ece here,21 female cancer entp.I'd prefer a guy but any gender will do :3

I'm usually a cheerful person with lots of energy, I'm quite outdoorsy but an ambivert. I'm that one person who isn't afraid of going to a cinema,concert etc alone xD I don't easily get angry,jealous etc. I'm the calmest person I know,on that matter I'm quite tolerant. Also I tend value my own independency a lot but I strongly respect other's too. On this matter I often called out to be 'cold' or 'uncaring' even though I care for my loved ones unconditionally :// I think I'm not very good at showing emotions,best I can do is to clown around to keep my loved ones happy and honestly I get uncomfortable when people get too emotional too soon in romantic relationships.

Also my love language can be anything but acts of service,they are a little rare D: I tend to go for quality time or physical touch,when I feel comfy enough -which takes some time- I straight up glue myself xD

As for hobbies I like to write,read and to cook exotic foods. I obviously watch anime quite often too D: I generally like trying different hobbies -anything- just to drop it a couple of months in. I very sadly do this when it comes to my romantic relationships too and I feel like I might be an aromantic but the idea of dating with an aot guy is quite charming xD Thank you so much already and I hope this is enough because I feel like I've revealed too much D:

I’ll keep it real; it’s been a long ass time since I’ve touched aot. I think last time I watched it genuinely was 2019. I’m trying my best with these aot requests but I might take them down temporarily, rewatch the show, then put them back up idk.

That being said, you sound like an epic person girl, keep doing you. 👍

PS, I get what you mean with relationships. It’s really hard to date people in the real word- especially when there’s perfect anime dudes who’d be willing (in ones imagination at least) to date you. I struggle with that myself, but know there will be that special person eventually. Nobodies perfect, and don’t keep your standards too high; and eventually you’ll find the one. 🖤🦇

warnings: discussion/depictions of PTSD, Anxiety, and DID.

your Attack on Titan matchup is.. Reiner Braun !!

• I think Reiner would be a good match for you.

• He enjoys your energy. Often times it gets him out of a funk he’s in. Not to mention he’d always give you a cute little pat on the head as thanks for cheering him up.

• He also appreciates the times where you can be really chill. He needs those moments of relaxation sometimes. Hell, you’ve seen what he’s been through.

• Though out of everything, he appreciates your patience. He suffers through some PTSD and DID as far as I’m concerned, so as long as you’re patient with him he’ll be patient with you.

• I believe he’d enjoy someone who’s independent, as he often does things his own way, and would rather not get an ear full from someone who’s a heckler for the rules. Much so, he lets you do your own thing as well as long as it’s not detrimental and hurts you.

• He gets remarks of being cold and uncaring as well, but really the two of you are just either really chill or focused on something that you don’t even notice you have a resting bitch face.

• He thinks it’s adorable when you try to make him feel better. He often goes through identity crisis, so to have someone bring him back down to Earth is nice.

• Quality time is a bit dicey for him, obviously because of his job. If you’re Military Police with him it might not be as much of an issue. Though physical touch happens as much as it can, as Reiner can be very possessive and handsy.

• You’re hobbies always interest him. He’s the type to go through hobbies one month to another like you, but when he sees a hobby you actually stick to he tries to encourage it more and more.

• Also, he’ll fulfill any romantic needs your heart desires, promise~.

• Your runner ups are Erin and Connie!

• Reiner will always have your back, and hopefully you’ll have his?

[jamesrodayrodriguezpresents]

That webiste is a bit tedious to read so I put just the interview under the cut.

Q: I want to ask you about chemistry. … And of course, I’m specifically asking about Allison’s work as “cat restaurant owner” in the second “Psych” movie. Tell me about your unmistakable connection in the former “Psych” office.

Allison Miller: (Laughs) I think you have to know each other from previous work; and then it just all falls together – and surround yourself by cats – which one of you is severely allergic to.

James Roday Rodriguez: That’s right.

Allison Miller: It kind of just breaks down all the walls and gets real.

James Roday Rodriguez: You’ve really got to catch lightning in a bottle – and in my case, it was a giant bottle of Claritin.

Q: Current plot notwithstanding, how nice is it to have a victory lap, and to be able to end the series on your terms – particularly at a time when shows are getting axed at a record pace.

Allison Miller: It's scary out there, and we are very fortunate to know that this is the end, and to be able to really enjoy every minute of this final season; and being together and telling these stories. I think we’re going to wrap it up in a really beautiful way.

James Roday Rodriguez: I would agree with all of that. It's rare. I've been very lucky in that I've been a part of two shows that kind of called their own shot at the end. When you sort of know how many stories you have left to tell, and you can tell them on your own terms – and kind of Elway it.

I like to use “Elway” as a verb. But basically, it just means going out with the getting’s good – while you’re at the top of the mountain, and not allowing for the possibility of a slide. A tumble. You don't want to Brady it. You want to Elway it.

Q: So, quite a jolting season finale. Where do we find Gary and Maggie when the new season begins?

Allison Miller: Well, I don't know where Gary is. I never know where Gary is. But Maggie is quite pregnant. And she is still with the friend group. And she is going to go through all of the wonders that a pregnant woman gets to enjoy in those nine months.

James Roday Rodriguez: Yeah, it's unclear if Gary is going to be part of that journey or not, because the premiere starts with a funeral; and everyone seems really bummed out.

Allison Miller: Yeah, everybody looks really sad in that episode.

Q: Tell me about the role reversal, Allison. We’ve seen your character go from being the one in need of help – the one working toward recovery – to now being the one providing the help. What has that been like for you to have the journey come full circle in this way?

Allison Miller: I think it's so wonderful, and I think that’s what relationships are in life. You support each other when times get tough, and celebrate each other when things are great. And it’s always a matter of taking turns; who is going to be supporting little bit more now.

And so, the fact that she gets to do that for Gary, I think is a really moving part of her life – because she may have missed out on all of it, and getting the chance to return the favor had he not done that. I think it’s really special.

Q: And James, we’ve seen Gary in treatment via flashbacks with John, but obviously this journey is going to be more difficult – and I'm guessing certainly more challenging to portray. Tell me a little bit about how you're approaching it.

James Roday Rodriguez: Nothing changes in terms of our approach, because we've always been dealing with these really intense topics and experiences that people go through, for real. So, the responsibility has been there from the very beginning – to treat these journeys as authentically as possible, and make sure that we're representing the experiences that real people have had. And the cancer storyline is just one of several on the show. But the truth is, in a way, that that ship has sort of sailed and, I think, luckily we've had a lot of help along the way to make sure that we can get it as close to right as possible.

Q: Before the season finale, I would’ve said fans loved Gary and Maggie being together, and they wouldn’t necessarily have broken them up. But seeing Gary with Darcy, and Maggie with Cam, that was good, too. It made Gary and Maggie getting back together even better – even more special. I feel like that buys a lot of credit, or faith, in the writers and showrunners. Now that we’re again not sure how we feel about what’s happening with Gary and Maggie – would you say we again need to trust the writers and showrunners that they're going to resolve this in the best way possible?

Allison Miller: I don’t think you should ever trust a writer or a showrunner.

James Roday Rodriguez: No. Or a snake oil salesman.

Allison Miller: Or a lawyer or an agent.

James Roday Rodriguez: You know what? This entire show has been in the head of one man, and his name's DJ Nash. From the very beginning, he’s known exactly where he wants to take this show. … He’s going to end this show exactly the way that he wanted to, with a very good ending.

Q: I want to ask you about some things this show has done incredibly well. And maybe you expected or hoped for some of these things coming into it; maybe some have been pleasant surprises along the way.

Certainly, this show has myriad actors who could be leads on other show – and yet this particular series has no leads. You all shoulder the burden equally. How nice is that?

Allison Miller: It’s been really nice. The nicest part of it, I would say, is the fact that nobody’s walking around with any sort of ego about it. No one's trying to be No. 1 on the call sheet; but at the same time, everybody has the kind of leadership skills and empathy that it takes to be No. 1 on the call sheet. Honestly, we're just all walking around winners. That’s what it feels like.

James Roday Rodriguez: I mean, it's a little bit of a fallacy. I would argue the DJ Nash is the lead of the show, even though he doesn't actually appear on camera.

Allison Miller: He probably has the most Twitter presence.

James Roday Rodriguez: And he also probably feels like, if given the opportunity, he could play each of our roles, as well, if not a little bit better than we do.

Allison Miller: He has done that on table reads, in fact. He regularly played Cam.

James Roday Rodriguez: And he brought a different flavor.

Allison Miller: He brought a different guy. … It's really interesting.

Q: This show is surprisingly edge-of-your-seat and I, personally, always want 5 more minutes. Did you know the series would be this tense, week to week?

Allison Miller: I had a feeling, with the sort of mystery aspect of season one that we were heading in that direction. Everyone just trying to figure out what happened with John, and why. But you know, it's not that sort of procedural cliffhanger. It's an emotional one, usually. Every now and then, it’s like, “Who hit Eddy?”

I think that emotional cliffhangers are just as effective as an Agatha Christie-style mystery.

Q: This show, as far as I'm concerned, has done more to champion social justice – to spotlight issues and spark conversations – than certainly any that I've ever seen. How nice has it been for you guys to be a part of something that doesn't just serve to entertain, but also brings to light so many of these important issues?

James Roday Rodriguez: It's been good. It's also been uncomfortable at times, because not everybody has the same take, or the same opinion, on all of these issues. And you only get sort of one shot to address it, and try to be as inclusive as possible.

I think it takes courage, in this business, to put yourself out there, and address a lot of the issues that we've addressed – especially when it comes to social justice. It’s also a really fine line and a real tight rope, because we're all hyper-aware that our country is essentially split down the middle, and that means 50-50.

So, you never want to pander, and you don't really want to choose a side; I'm not sure that's our job, frankly. You just want to be as truthful as you could possibly be, and present things as objectively as you can be. And you also have to do it within the confines of network television, and standards and practices.

So, it's a lot; and I don’t speak for Allison, but I can say as thankful as I am to have been a part of something that was brave enough to go after it, there's also been moments where, you know, I definitely tense up, and I get nervous because it's so important to stick the landing when you do that.

Q: James, I’ve been interviewing you for 13 years – I think you are genius, plain and simple. And Allison, I’ve enjoyed your work since “Terra Nova.” You were the first person on this show I asked to interview, and I keep wanting to call you Maggie, because you’ve absolutely crushed this role.

You two know way more about this work and this business than I do. What have you enjoyed and appreciated about working with each other?

James Roday Rodriguez: I'll go first, because, starting back in season one, we had a lot of heavy lifting to do on this show. It just of turned out that the Gary-Maggie cancer storyline was often front and center. This one is the most meticulously prepared, thoughtful, homework-driven actor that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. And, to her credit, I think that storyline – and sort of the bedrock of that storyline – worked as well as it did because she was bringing so much to the table every single day. I kind of just had to show up.

Allison Miller: (Laughs)

James Roday Rodriguez: That's sort of how I felt.

I mean, my process is very different. But I think it needed that blueprint; it needed that structure – and I give her a ton of credit for why we got off to the start that we did.

Allison Miller: Well, I, on the other side of the coin, yeah; I am that way. I’m always that way, because I'm scared not to be. And something that is really helpful is when you have a partner who is really free; and isn't afraid to make big choices, and shake things up; and kind of poke the bear, when you're coming in all prepared and all your ducks in a row. A lot of animal analogies there!

And so, I think the reason that that all works so well is because I was working with someone who can just naturally find all kinds of different rhythms, and emotional places, and silliness within a scene. That allowed me to kind of loosen up a little bit, and lean into being present.

I think that's maybe the most important part of being an actor, is being present in the moment.

[bunposting]

hi bunposting, new zealand rabbjt anon here- unfortunately i have suffered a loss recently. the doe that i’ve raised and loved for the last three years died suddenly a few days ago without any reason as to why. logically i know that as prey animals, rabbits don’t show illness until they’re basically on deaths doorstep, but it’s been a hard time anyway. she was a wonderful mother, very sweet and full of personality, and with some really great genetics that led to me making sale at a couple livestock shows with her kits. i’m missing her a lot but trying to focus on my other two rabbits.

which leads me to adding my own experience onto your other post:

first things first, you are totally right that the huge amount of hay/veggies is ridiculous. both to balance with their feed and to buy that much fresh produce

my rabbits get hay if i remember it. so like once a week at most. i’ll give them a bit more if i notice there’s a lot of hair in their poop to help get their guts moving a bit more, but that’s really it. hay is expensive as all get out and since they’re fed a complete diet it’s not necessary as a daily requirement, just a treat. and i never give them hay when their babies are out of the nest box. i’m raising them for meat and hay is filling with few calories, aka the kits will gorge themselves on hay all the time and not gain any weight

i do give them fruit and veggie treats pretty regularly, but i never go out of my way to get produce especially for them. it’s always leftovers from the kitchen. bananas that have gone soft, lettuce heads, strawberry tops, watermelon rinds, whatever. they enjoy a treat, and we have less food waste, so win win! they’re our little compost bins!

but the main thing is that despite what aras/hrs wants everyone to believe, rabbits can totally have a lifelong diet of pellets and only pellets with no problems. the veggies aren’t requirements, just fun treats to add on top of an already compete diet. i’ve always fed my rabbits this way, and i’ve never had a single GI issue

(some may say ‘well what about your recent death’ and while i can’t 100% rule out a GI issue and will likely never know the true reason for her death, that just seems like the least likely option for her personal situation)

Hey Anon! Sorry for taking so long to reply, it's been a busy week.

First of all I'm so sorry about your loss. It's so heartbreaking to lose any animal you love, let alone one you raised. It's obviously a bit too late now, but I'd be on high alert for any other sudden deaths in your rabbitry, especially if you're somewhere where RVHD2 is active. If there are more that die suddenly and unexpectedly, I'd recommend talking to a veterinarian about next steps including how to get the remains tested for the disease. Rabbits sometimes do die without much warning for other reasons (heart attack, heat stroke, undetected cancer, etc.), but you definitely have to be careful now that RVHD2 has spread to places it hasn't historically been able to spread much to.

Everything else you said totally tracks though. Feeding kitchen scraps to your rabbits can be an awesome way to reduce food waste, but (as I'm sure you know) it's super important to do some research first and make sure that the scraps you have are safe for your rabbits to eat/what quantity of those scraps are safe for your rabbits to eat.

I def agree that there were loads of great moments in both Stern interviews but like how can you not dislike that man Jen 😩 He’s literally one of the most dislikable, unpleasant pricks out there. He’s a raging homophobe, a notorious anti-black racist and he has degraded and humiliated women for decades. I’m not coming @ you by the way just wondering what is there to like about this dude.

So this reads like someone who hasn't listened to his shows in the last 10-15 years or so, but for me, it comes down to I love the parts I love, and I gtfo for the parts I don't, I'm an adult like that, lulz. I started listening to him after he had already mellowed out quite a bit, I know the crazy shock-jock early years would have been unlistenable to me (and he has gone on record to say unlistenable to him as well), but the period when I tuned in every day as part of my commute and work life? Yeah, I enjoyed it--and when I didn't love it (my god, do I hate most of his staff and regular callers), I just switched over to something else. The stuff I like about the dude? He's funny, smart, neurotic, a world-class interviewer, in love/borderline obsessed with his wife, a good dad to this three daughters, a ride-or-die for his black co-host (her cancer battle, what he went through to help her, my god, it's weep-worthy), a good ache for any "missing NYC vibes." It's a shame that his network (team??) makes it so hard and/or expensive to just cherrypick what you want to hear from his shows, and he HAS dialed down how much he works by a lot, but I would pay cash money to hear the old news hour, the interviews, the shootin' the shit with Robin about his weekend (and I would skip just about everything else, but that would still be about 3 hours a day back in the day). I've listened to him in full, in context, off and on for years, so maybe I'm too compromised for people who are easily offended, but I find quite a lot to like about him, sorrrrrry! (Also, hot take alert, I would reckon there are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more women in the one direction fandom who have actively shit on women, humiliated them, than he has)

hi hi! if it's alright with you, may i have an arcana twilight matchup? but feel free to ignore this if you want to, there's no pressure!

for a summary of my personality, i've been described by my friends and family as someone who's kind, hardworking, and mostly playful. i tend to put others before me, usually in the form of assisting them with their work and giving them support, comfort, or advice if they need it. (i'm titled the mom/therapist friend-) i also work hard and plan ahead so i can put my best into my outputs. i can also really be bubbly, playful, and sarcastic when i'm with close friends, since i'm shy and reserved with acquaintances and strangers.

but I've also been described as someone who's an overthinker, perfectionist, and a bit of a pushover. i have a bad habit of thinking negatively, so i end up overanalyzing a lot. i also have another bad habit of wanting everything that i do be perfect, which sometimes leads to me being extra hard on myself. additionally, i dislike conflict, so it can end up with me martyring myself to keep the peace.

for hobbies, i really love to read (mainly fiction though), listen to music (especially musicals), play games, and occasionally write.

for additional information, my mbti is INFJ and my zodiac sign is cancer!

anyways, thank you so much for doing my matchup! but please take as much time as you need in completing it! i wish you all the best and take care! also, happy valentine's day!

Happy (belated) Valentine's day to you too as well!

I match you up with...

Spica!

•You two would get along well! He enjoys being with someone who is also dedicated and hardworking.

•He sees the amount of effort you place and wants to try to keep pushing you into reaching your full potential.

•He's also someone who understands being a perfectionist so he's always there to help you out with whatever you need whether you just need someone to listen or reassurance even if he's usually really busy.

•He'd also be there to remind you to put your own needs first and that you don't need to sacrifice your own wellbeing for peace. And if you end up overthinking I'd like to think he'd be able to help you out with that sort of thing and guide you towards figuring things out on your own.

•He'd give you a lot of book recommendations and secretly hopes you'd give him some as well. Sure he's read a lot of books in his time but he likes hearing about the type of stories you're into.

Okay, now onto actual headcanon scenarios for Valentines day!

•Although I believe that Bound Aralyn wouldn't technically have Valentine's day they do have something similar to it.

•He scheduled the whole thing beforehand. He wanted to surprise you considering how special you are to him.

•He did his best to finish all his work before this day. He wanted to spend time with you after all.

•He shows up at your door with a bouquet of some of your favorite flowers and a few with a hidden meaning behind it. (Spica knows a lot about Floriography)

•This man believes you deserve the best and would probably take you to very fancy restaurants or places that sell your favorite foods

•Afterwards, he brings you to a bookshop he knows you both enjoy. He shows you around and the two of you walk around, looking through some of the books together.

•After dinner at one of your favorite restaurants, you both head home and drag him to your bed to cuddle for a while.

•You thank him for the date he planned out and he ends up blushing because of what you said.

•You two fall asleep together while cuddling! It felt nice for Spica considering he only gets 4 hours of sleep every night.

Thank you for your request! I really tried lol but I had a lot of fun doing this. <3

“Alyssa? Wake up.” Fezco said, softly shaking me awake as we arrived at a gas station.

“Okay. Imma keep the engine running, you get out, fill up, just a little bit. Well, enough to get to your dad's, and then we drive off before nobody notices. Okay?” He explained, making me nod happily, smirking at him teasingly.

“You've really come out your shell, you know?” I said, nudging him with a smile.

“Huh?”

“It's hot.”

“Shit.” Fezco said, blushing brightly before I kissed his cheek, getting out of the car to fill up the tank.

“Morning!” The lady who worked there said, smiling sheepishly at Fez and I. I smiled back, raising my eyebrows to hope to lead her away.

“Hiya.”

“Need a hand?”

“No, you're all right, thanks.” She squinted her eyes at me before looking in the car at Fezco, then down to the wires he used to start the car.

“You can't fill up with the car running, can you?” She said, raising an eyebrow at me as I smiled fakely.

“What? Oh, yeah.”

“Can you turn the engine off, please?” She said to fezco, watching as he moved the wires to stop the car.

“Full tank?” She asked, getting more and more suspicious.

“No, we only want a bit.”

“Better to be on the safe side, isn't it?”

“Okay, sure, fill 'er up.”

We waited for the tank to fill up and I swear my stomach was doing flips. If this is what gets us caught I swear to fuck…

“Let's go in and pay, shall we? After you.”

If this is what gets us caught, I'm going to kill myself. From shame. Shit, shit, shit.

“This young lady would like to pay for pump number seven. Frodo.” She said, smacking the counter to catch the attention of the young worker behind the counter.

“Cash or card? Would you like to buy a key ring? It's for cancer.”

“Not now.” The lady hissed, making Frodo frown.

“Cash or card?”

“Have you got a bathroom?” I asked urgently, the lady shook her head as she stared at me.

“No.”

“Isn't that illegal?” I said, squinting my eyes at her.

“We don't have one.”

“Yeah, we do.”

“Shut up!”

“Do you want me to wet myself?” I asked sassily, making her glare back at me.

“Do you want me to call the police? They might like to know where you got your car from.”

“I need the bathroom.” She grabbed my hands, holding them behind my back aggressively. “Ow! Get off me! Ow!”

“Frodo, call the police!”

Oh we are so fucked.

"Cheerful Adventures : Tales of my Life"

Hi! My name is James Ryle, Often called as "Sing-Sing", "Ting-Ting", but I prefer to be called by my second name which is "Ryle". I maybe weird, but yes I am huhu. I am the 1st born child in our family, first "buang" to be born haha. My life is like riding a bicycle, however I don't know how to ride bicycles so I stumble more often then get up again to get going, that's my life.

I am an introvert but extrovert at the same time. I am Bisexual, mixed but not matched huhu. My childhood was fun, truly. I'm friendly like every where I want to talk to someone but sometimes I prefer to be alone, Crazy right? Mood swings like a girl huhu.

I like intimacy so much but I'm too shy to accept one. I love cats, my mum and I have the same liking with our pets. My zodiac sign is Cancer, hard to say but yeah I'm too emotional sometimes-everytime. I take everything to heart. I got many insecurities because of this behavior but when I'm with my friends, I feel accepted and comfortable which make me forget about my insecurities. I love them.

I was the first to be born from the four childrens of our parents as I've mentioned earlier, my mother name me as James Ryle, weirdly beautiful. My father always jokes about how I look when I was born, he said I look just like my mother haha. Well I don't care, my mother for me is the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life. I can't say I'm a momma's boy because I'm very disobedient child to both my parents huhu. I love them but I'm too shy to express and show it. I'll figure it out some day, I hope. I would hug them so tight close to my heart, they're the most precious creature to be created by God for me. Ok back, I actually can't remember what happened to me when I was a toddler, of course, but my beloved grand parents and my aunties and uncles and of course my arents was there to tell me bout my behavior when I was a baby. They said I was so cute, well I think I'm not huhu. They said I almost got adopted by a couple because of poverty but my grandparents didn't agreed, thankfully.

I was loved and supervised by my lolo and lola when I was a toddler, they even brought me to bohol where my auntie lisa and uncle emang live, when I learned to stand and walk. My grandparents introduced me to my relatives there, we went to site seeing ( pasyal ). They said I was so random that I almost swallowed a jelly container ( those jelly something that is everywhere to be found and it costs you 1 peso for one ) then they said I almost slipped at my aunt's kitchen because I was so naughty. Well what an adventure for a naughty kid. The most random part is the reason for our sudden leave. Huhu, my grandparents got into a fight, a nonsense fight just because of the plastic nipple like thing of my nursing bottle is teared and they are fighting, finding who is to be blamed huhu. Well yeah after that we went back to Lapu-Lapu where we actually live.

My childhood is full of discoveries, what do you expect from a naughty kid huhu. I think I almost tried all the kinds of games, except for expensive ones. Chinese garter, tumbang preso, dodge ball, buwan-buwan, and more, so much to mention and to explain how satisfied I am with my childhood. I've met many peoples who left an unforgettable memories in my childhood. When I was like 5 or 6 my mum introduced me the school and why I need to go to school, "Basta naa kay stars gikan ni teacher dal an ka og pasalubong sa imong papa", like that which make me excited to go to school. Well I enjoyed schooling anyway, I don't think I'm a fast learner but I love learning.

As time pass by, I slowly developed my interest in Math, the most unwanted subject for most of my classmates in elementary. Well I view it as fun like how challenging it can be to find the correct answer. At my elementary days I was rarely seen to be in the top students, "well what do you expect from a naughty kid " huhu. Atleast I'm having fun, I value fun all the time like as if there is no tomorrow. After all I'm just a kid, I don't know how valuable education is for my future. Now I regret not being serious woth my education when I was in elementary and junior high school because I missed all the opportunities for new learnings and more. Well now I'm working on my best to get a high grade as preparation for higher education. Now that I have grown such age, I got many realizations about life. I now appreciate my parents more.

I am 17 years old now, currently taking up Accountancy Business and Management, the strand that aligns with my interest. Planning to take Bachelor of Science in Accounting (BSA) course in college. Unfortunately, my budget doesn't agree with my dream course. Well I have a second option course which is Secondary Education major in Mathematics. In the meantime I'm working with my requirements to apply for a higher education. I am still striving for development in my skills and capabilities as preparation for college. I have this belief which makes me very lazy, "Nothing makes me productive than the last minute." Which why I'm always training my self to be more productive and should value time as gold, but undeniable that this laziness made me really expand my creativity, the mindset that wants a more faster way and easier way to complete the task while still values the output. On in all, in the present, I'm really proud of what I have accomplished now, thinking how far I've come now to just surrender by this pressure, but, this will not stop now, I will work hard to make myself and my parents more proud of me.

Thank you for letting me share my story.
