hi! i’ve seen that you also work with tarot cards so i wanted to ask this question mostly for curiosity and also to understand more tarots!

is it possible to misread the cards because of bias we have? like we really believe in something or we have a strong opinion on someone and then when we do a reading about them or that topic we just read what we wanted to see, i mean we are still human so i think it’s pretty hard to be as unbiased as possible, right? eventually, is there a method that we audience can use to understand when someone is biased or not?

honestly i think no 😅 maybe the only way we can have is observing and making our conclusion lol.

anyway sorry for the long and different asks i’ve made 🙏🏻 hope you are good and thank you in advance for your answer <3

OHHH I LOVE THIS HIIII

I'm always so glad to gather around for some curiosity asks. And this is right up my alley So !!! even better.

YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

And it is something I try to always to about on here!!! It comes hand in hand with a lot of other different topics, especially when it comes to the generalisation of social media and content creation/consumption.

Listen, I get it. Tarot and astrology are fun. They're quirky, they're great, they have a somewhat stable foundation. They're a pseudoscience and when done right, it can be scarily accurate and thus, lures you in. So I get the popularity, the need to consume. To know more.

Now, I wish it were more about becoming more knowledgeable on the spiritual practices themselves rather than it being just about having to know the tea. There are a lot of ifs, buts and ands when it comes to tarot (more so than with astrology, which isn't that much interpretative).

Truth is, wanting the tea to be spilt, comes with a lot of attention and a point blank period opportunity to get attention on social media. It isn't that hard to just- you know, order a deck on Amazon, use its booklet for interpretations, ask a question and just- pull a set of cards from it, write something up, post it online and stir some things. Right?

Whereas CREATING CONTENT RESPONSIBLY should be a MUST, I truly believe that the way to fill the gaps and not create a hostile environment within the spiritual community online is RESPONSIBLE CONTENT CONSUMPTION.

I actually tackle all of this in one of my intro to tarot courses (which have yet to come back) and I'll probably create one that isn't that much about reading tarot but consuming its content. YES, readers 100% have a bias when reading!!!

But also, YES, it is our job to get rid of it. Now, not many people do it, because it takes time, patience and most important, willingness to admit that you might make mistakes. I'll try to give a quick rundown on how exactly it goes on before we move on to how YOU as a tarot content consumer can better approach these situations.

As intricate as the art of tarot is, it can easily be summarised as us (readers) using a spiritual tool (the deck) to access a universal answer (the answer to a question being asked) and we do this by *threading* personal energies (of those around the matter at hand) under a specific current context (especially time) and by doing this, we get to pick and choose which of the outcomes seems best suited for what we are looking for.

If you've seen Doctor Strange/Avengers Endgame... you can picture it similarly to the scenes where Dr Strange gets to see a million possible scenarios and finally settles on a specific one being 'the most viable'

The reader's bias comes into play when we are truly wishing for a specific outcome/ our mind is settled before the reading (which is why, it is extremely important to prepare beforehand/set the mood/meditate) since the 'strongest energy thread' AKA what we usually take as the most vibrant/accurate one will be the one most influenced by our own energy and it may not necessarily be the most accurate one.

As all divination methods, tarot isn't 100% accurate because they're just archetypes that are subjected to change due to a million things. But having a biased reader will most likely downgrade the accuracy to around a 20-40% in accuracy.

Now, even expert readers may be biased. Not that much, and most definitely not all the time. The difference with someone who is pretty much biased and set in remaining that way is that practised readers are able to tell when they're being biased even in the middle of a reading (eg. they'll see a card that doesn't fit and know it is out of place)

It's a pretty wide topic... and it doesn't necessarily mean to instil in you a fear of content consumption, nor does it mean that YOU have to become knowledgeable in tarot if you want to have fun reading silly little things online.

My best advice is: Don't be afraid to question things!!!

More often times than not, biased/unethical readers absolutely despise being cross-referenced (but do so politely, please)

There's this weird idea of content creators, especially spiritual ones being all dark and mysterious, vague in explanations and unapproachable, creating this sort of gap that sort of makes them seem like they're in a position of power. When!!! that's!!! not!!! the!!! case!!!.

Tarot/astrology/divination methods are spiritual choices that we make in our lives in our human search of becoming better people/nurturing more sides of our multidimensional being. And while doing so with respect and proper guidance, there isn't a reason why it should be treated as something that is only accessible to some and kept out of hands reach for the rest.

A grunt as she finally, finally managed to settle her end of the wheeled table carefully in place, and triple-checked to make sure the locks were in place to prevent it from moving about. It had taken an entire afternoon for the two of them to screw every piece together properly.

Since you reblogged your ml ponies I have realized, the emo designs. Emo ponies.

these horses are EMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sizzleissues]

ok hi so I saw emonette on my dash and when I saw her in fingerless gloves it made me think of those black & pink prom tulle dresses that had spaghetti straps/were strapless from the 2000s/2010s or like an Avril Lavigne type dress with a long torso that has like tool underneath

I agree. I’m lucky that I was a kid during the 2000s so this type of fashion only exists in bad photos and has like a smudge on my memory but honestly. It slays

Is this what you were thinking? She’s my little princess of darkness you guys don’t know how much I love her and I’ve only known her a day

[diadraws]

Noticed Marinette has scars on her chest in ur most recent drawing and was wondering if she had top surgery in your head cannons, or just curious to why?

Also can we hear about your head cannons about them sometimes 👀

yes, in my HC she does have top surgery! she is genderweird... (t4t adrinette is so real. to me.) because of how much the show likes to reverse gender roles for marinette and adrien i see marinette as being butch/GNC + also being a Half Ladybug Creature when using her miraculous affected her self perception and xeno'd her gender, she's like if an insect was a tomboy.

(also marinette and adriens wedding jewelry is replicas of each others miraculous..... thats just my hc....)

Sorry i rambled a bit, i love to share my HCs!! :)

[aliciedraws]

After seeing that adorable graphic tee art, now I'm wondering how Adrien would react if he saw Marinette suddenly dressing like that, especially if it was a surprise on a date

she's just a girl~

[unfortunately-a-miraculous-fan]

Lila: Alright, now go up to Marinette and follow the plan, just like we went over.

Chloe: Fine. I hope you know what you're doing.

-later-

-Chloe bursts out of the classroom-

Chloe, covered in lipstick marks: You did NOT mention this part of the plan!!

Lila, filing her nails: That sounds like a you problem.

[laterreurofficial]

So this AU is like, Evangelion meets Miraculous Ladybug?

It's not the same I know but it's got the vibes

And the

You know

Child soldiers

Also I love everything you guys have out out so far, this is a very interesting and creative premise.

It also makes a lot of sense that using powerful magic tools takes a toll on the body/mind

Was is Multimouse's curse? I think it had something to do with dissociation but how does it work exactly?

Also Tikky doesn't want to tell Marinette about the dangers of using the miraculous so often??? What the fuck Tikky :/

The mouse miraculous' curse is indeed a kind of disassociation! The miraculous side effects are often like radiation poisoning, a bleed from the magic of the miraculous to the person wielding it. So the side effects often represent an aspect of the power one gains from the magic or the animal it's associated with. With the mouse miraculous, splitting into multiple people who you *are* simultaneously would probably mess with your sense of awareness a little even without the magic radiation/

Also, regarding Tikki and the other Kwamis, remember, they are immortal. They can care, in their own way, about their wielders, but know how temporary those wielders are. Would you shoot a dog to prevent a thousand dogs from dying? To prevent the universe from ending? Would you shoot *your* dog? Even if you loved them a lot, you have to admit that the value of that one life is nothing in compare to the benefits of ending or ruining it. So it goes for Tikki and the other Kwamis. Their wielders are inconvenient at worst, and represent short friendships at best. Tikki, like Marinette, will ultimately value getting the job done over total honesty. And besides, Marinette never asked. Why would she volunteer information that would make Marinette *less* likely to serve her purpose?

B1 with Marinette and Adrien Shockwave from your acrocat au? I adore the concept and the story you made <3 and it would be nice to see them interact

Awww!! I do love the weird tiger ox costume

Marinette spends most of that story having kittens because of "both" Adrien and Chat Noir. I think she needs this hug the most <3

[roseletterchan]

Love your readings on bts .. can you do Rm's future spouse reading using astrology and also tarot . Possible time line when they will meet (if she is a foreigner or korean )and when he can be happily married and have the family he so wanted. Thanks ❤️

Hello! Oh I’m so glad you’ve come to enjoy my readings on bts! I appreciate the love for my hard work so much and I love to have you guys enjoy them!

As you might have noticed from my astrology/tarot content, I am very wary and specific about how exactly I handle love readings for the members since my top priority has always been respecting their boundaries.

I completely understand the itch we can get to know a bit more about them and their personal lives as they are celebrities but I refuse to strip them from their privacy and human sides, opting to keep away from most of their most private aspects of life like some other tarot/astrology content creators do.

Now, I am very much aware of the fact that you can easily get a too intimate look into their lives elsewhere so by all means, I’ve always encouraged everyone around here to be sure of the type of content they would like to consume and advise on doing so consciously.

I like to think that my main differentiator with other content creators of the like, is that I always have and always will prioritise that the content you guys get from me is accurate and unbiased, 100% not about the clout and as educational as I can get it to be, by being very transparent and respecting the artists’ personal boundaries.

Please remember that us readers do not have explicit permission to access celebrities energies and even less so to get the info we might read on out there so we mess with something a bit bigger than us when done correctly.

It is also important to note that when it comes to love readings, it is even much more delicate. And I’m being brutally honest here.

I can’t use astrology on a celebrity’s current or future s/o if I don’t know who they are. I can’t possibly come to know the exact date of birth/place of birth using only the celebrity’s chart and somehow whip out a synastry. Surely, the celebrity’s chart might show signs of astrological archetypes on generalities about the type of person they might benefit from or would be a nice fit for them, but it isn’t a future telling method nor is it guaranteed as there’s a lot of other factors to be played.

When it comes to tarot as a divination method, it’s faulty. Tarot can only be used as a reliable source for the future up until 6 months after the reading. Even more so, it is difficult to read on significant others as the archetypal source of energy is the same for s/o, spouse, or any other situationship + when it comes to celebrities it’s so hard to tell on their love life’s future simply because there are so many people around them manifesting them and pushing a lot of energy their way.

Now, what I actually CAN deliver to you guys in terms of love readings (and I have and continue to do so) are love readings which information I get I can assure you is high quality and veritable, which have to do with how love as an archetype/as a general concept relates to the artist.

And I’m sure you might be able to find a bunch of them in my masterlist, such as: what he thinks of love, the type of person he might benefit from, what he considers his ideal type, his thoughts on relationships and the like.

If there’s something that abides to that boundary and you’d like to know or know more about something I’ve put out/an updated reading, do let me know and I’ll get to it in due time!

Again, thank you so much for your support on my craft!

hi kayla!!! sorry this took me a million years but I hope it’s worth the wait!! 🩷🤍🧡

Marinette’s life is complicated. Balancing being a teenage girl and a superhero and a student and the guardian and a daughter is hard. But even then, she knows what she likes.

Marinette likes designing, the sound of pencil on the page and the thrill of her ideas coming to life. Marinette likes baking, following recipes she’s had memorized for years and the easy way she can hold piping bags in her hands. Marinette likes sewing, the familiar whir of her machine soothing on even her worst days. Marinette likes Alya’s lip gloss.

But that one is new, so she’s not sure why she likes it so much.

Marinette likes boys – she knows that, has always known that. But she’s not with a boy today. She’s with Alya, alone. Having a picnic.

And Alya is wearing a really pretty lip gloss.

Marinette’s not quite sure why she’s so drawn to it. It’s subtle, a little pink, just a bit of shimmer, but she notices. She knows Alya doesn’t usually wear it. Alya doesn’t usually wear the floral spring dress she’s wearing, either, but Marinette quite likes it too. Well, of course she does – she designed it, a birthday present for Alya. But she really likes it when Alya wears it.

Marinette knows she doesn’t have it all figured out, of course, but… she’s more confused than usual right now.

Alya is sitting next to her, legs tucked against her side. Her hair is down, caught in the gentle breeze, and she keeps tucking it behind her ear. Marinette could watch her do that all day, she thinks. She’d be quite content.

Alya is peeling an orange, and she offers Marinette a slice. Marinette takes it, of course.

“I’m glad you could make it,” Alya says with a smile, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

“Me, too,” Marinette says. “This is really nice.” She looks around at the blanket Alya has brought for them, baby pink and soft, and the wicker picnic basket sitting on top filled with snacks and drinks. She takes a bite of the orange in her hands.

Alya returns to peeling, carefully digging her nails into the skin of the orange and exposing the fruit. “I, um, I really like spending time with you,” she says.

Marinette watches her, mouth agape. She’s not quite sure how to respond.

“You’re incredible, Mari,” Alya continues as she pulls off the last piece of orange skin. “I’ve always thought that. I knew it from the day we met.”

“Oh,” Marinette breathes. Alya has complimented her before, but this… it’s different in a way she can’t put her finger on.

The wind picks up and pulls Alya’s hair loose. Marinette’s hand is there to fix it before Alya’s.

Marinette isn’t sure why she does it, but it’s happening before she even realizes it. She gently tucks the hair back in place, her fingers lingering near Alya’s cheek. She likes being close to Alya.

Alya smiles.

They don’t talk. The moment stretches into eternity. Marinette keeps her hand where it is, an offer, though she’s not sure what she’s asking for. She just knows she likes it, and it seems like Alya likes it, too.

But Alya doesn’t move, so Marinette lowers her hand. Her aim is to bring it back to her lap, but Alya catches it first. Gently, carefully, Alya holds her hand.

Marinette notices Alya’s nail polish. Warm pink, soft orange, the sunset encapsulated. Alya’s hand is soft and warm. Marinette already knows this, has felt Alya’s hands before when they paint each other’s nails or Alya holds her back from a wayward plan going awry.

But this is different. Alya holds gently, carefully. She’s making her own offer, Marinette realizes.

Marinette seizes it. She moves slowly, in case Alya wants to change her mind and pull away. But Alya doesn’t. They intertwine their fingers and hold each other tight.

Maybe… maybe Marinette likes Alya. Likes her as more than her best friend. Because she loves the way their hands fit together, and she’s still drawn to Alya’s lip gloss and maybe it’s less about the gloss and more about who’s wearing it.

“I really like you,” Alya whispers. She meets Marinette eyes and smiles, confident. Her voice is louder. “I really like you,” she repeats. “And if you just want to stay friends, that’s okay, too. But I wanted to tell you anyway.”

Oh.

The pieces fall into place like dominos to spell out a beautiful pattern, and Marinette realizes it all at once.

She likes girls. She likes Alya, actually. Of course she does.

Marinette scoots a little closer on the blanket. Alya responds with a breath let loose and a glowing smile. She’s never been good with words, always trips over her feet on her way to the point, but Marinette doesn’t think she needs to say anything right now to express herself quite clearly to Alya.

She leans closer. Alya meets her halfway.

Alya’s lips are soft. She tastes like cherry and oranges and pure bliss. She feels like home, familiar and safe and always pulling Marinette right back in. Marinette knows instantly she’s stuck in Alya’s orbit, and she’ll never need to be anywhere else.

Alya pulls back with a giddy smile, her heart bared between her teeth, and Marinette knows she’s a mirror image.

Marinette likes this. Loves it, even. And she’s quite sure about it.

Sorry if you answered this before but do you plan on watching S6 of Miraculous ?

I'm not sure. I'm certainly not planning to watch it as it comes out, but I may watch it once it's streaming. While I'm clearly quite critical of canon, I did genuinely enjoy a lot of things prior to season five. Little moments and character interactions that made it worth watching the individual episodes even though the overall plot kinda sucked. It was a good blend of entertaining in the micro and bad in the macro, making it something enjoyable for my partner and I to watch and then talk about.

Season five wasn't like that. There are a mere handful of good moments and most episodes gave me nothing of value, so I'm very hesitant to give canon more of my time. This is extra true because season five ended the show's first big arc, making it a really good off point as I'll fully admit that seeing Gabriel's ultimate fate was a draw for me. Now? There's really nothing left to look forward to. I no longer care about the canon square, Lila is one of the most obnoxious villains ever written, and both of our "leads" have been character assassinated into characters I don't really want to watch, mostly because they're not allowed to learn and grow, but they have the kind of character flaws that desperately need them to learn and grow for their characters to stay engaging.

Marinette's issues are pretty obvious, but Adrien was done equally dirty, just in the exact opposite way. It's really hard to get excited about for a male lead who isn't strong enough to make it to the final fight after five seasons of promising that it was "us against the world." Especially when every other character was able to overcome the nightmare dust! At least Marinette is doing things and talking to people even if those people aren't necessarily the people she should talk to and her actions aren't the ones she should be taking. Adrien just keeps sitting stuff out and doing nothing to change his situation because one of his big flaws is his passivity and it's aggravating! He's supposed to be an action hero!

And before anyone rants at me about victim blaming, please remember that this is a story and Adrien is a fictional character who - as best I can tell - isn't even intentionally written as a victim. While he is one in terms of what actually happened, the story does not seem to view him as one so I don't think his writing is some active choice to rep victims and, even if it was, I'd still have issues with their choices.

Either way, Miraculous is not the type of show that is here to give us deep character analysis. It's a rom-com superhero show for kids and that is the type of content I tuned in to watch. I was here for Ladybug-the-smart-badass and her faithful, flirty hero partner, but the show is giving me nothing on either front. Ladynoir was barely a thing in season five and I don't think we got a single Ladrien moment. Those relationship dynamics were my two biggest draws. My third tier dynamic was Adrienette and even that failed me because they didn't even give us Marinette growing up enough to be the one to ask Adrien out because, as stated above, the characters are not allowed to grow because that would mean that the episodes have to be watched in a specific order and it leads to terrible writing choices.

I've honestly given the show way more time than I ever planned while running this blog! I didn't expect it to get popular enough where I'd go away for a week and come back to over a dozen asks! I just wanted to vent about season five for a bit because the writing was just so incredibly bad that I needed an outlet to stop stewing over it. I've found that writing a thing down and throwing it into the ether is a great way to get my brain to move on and stop thinking about it, thus the blog.

[karizard-ao3]

How do you feel about the idea that Adrien is the mask and Chat Noir is the real face?

I have been of that opinion for some time! Adrien lives his life under such a microscope that I feel like he has never been able to let himself cut loose and be a goofball or make mistakes. So, getting the cat miraculous and his new identity gave him a degree of anonymity that he never had in his daily life, and so it's within his Chat Noir persona that he explores and experiments with the kind of person he wants to be. And, we can see that fundamentally he's still a kind, sweet person, but he's also a little more outgoing and messy and able to express his feelings. I heard the love square reverses in later seasons and that made me so happy because I was starting to get kind of indignant, like, "If Marinette/Ladybug can't get on board with the Chat Noir side of Adrien's personality, then she doesn't deserve him."
