PLANET DOMINANCE

AND HOW TO FIND IT!

Dear Cherries, I think there are few posts already created on how to find your Dominant planet, I only think lol, but since a user asked me how to find the dominant planet in the comments of my recent post, I decided to make this post in order to help not only him/her but everyone else as well...and also cuz I can't really explain the entire thing in the comments, even if it's short.

Also, most of the below information is taken from my studies and research because I have not met every Dominant in my life, lol.

Let's begin, shall we?

HOW TO FIND YOUR DOMINANT PLANET?

STEP 1: Go to the Astroseek website page, Dominant Planets & Elements in Natal Chart, Astrology Online Calculator and enter your birth information.

STEP 2: This table will appear from which the planet with the highest score is the Dominant planet for you.

You will have 3 planets with high scores so you will share dominance of all 3 planets but mainly the highest one.

Below that table you will also have a tiny table showing the dominant element which mean you will mostly embody the qualities of that element.

below that you will have a signature sign or element. For some there are signs provided while for others due to uncertainty you will be provided with results like 'You have a cardinal signature'.

Solarians embody the energy of the Sun, where they exude confidence and charisma. People are naturally very drawn towards them. People find their presence very powerful. These people also have a great sense of fashion.

With the Sun strong in your chart, you are usually popular and well-liked. You make friends easily. A Sun dominant personality is often extroverted. They feel the best when they are the center of attention.

Sun dominant people are great at motivating others. Most people find a Sun dominant personality very inspiring. They are enthusiastic, and their enthusiasm is contagious.

People with a Sun dominant planet are fun to be around. They have a unique sense of humor, and they are always up for a good laugh.

Solarians are often restless and energetic. They possess high amounts of inner energy and can tackle any task with passion and vigor. At the same time, they have great willpower and can be explosive in action, and can become forceful to have things go their way.

They can be very passionate and get completely involved in whatever they’re doing. Sun people are natural leaders.

Sun people can light up a room with their presence, and they are often unavoidable. They are extremely generous if you are on their good side!

They can be quite successful in business and performing arts careers. Work with children is another frequent Sun dominant career. Actors and writers are also often Solarians.

NEGATIVES:

With the Sun strong in your chart, you can be too self-centered. Depending on the aspects of the Sun with other planets, you can be arrogant and egoistic. Their sense of self-importance may get them into trouble. They are often vain and arrogant and think highly of themselves.

Sun dominant personalities are incredibly stubborn. Sun dominant people have a strong will. This is not bad per se, however, they are are often too self-willed, not paying attention to other people. Another Sun dominant weakness is vanity. Being overly status-conscious and even snobbish is another negative trait of Solarians.

If you are dealing with a Sun dominant, it is the best to avoid hurting their ego. If you do so, they will be really angry, but they are too proud to show this. Nevertheless, they will despise you.

A Sun dominant personality can be often childish. An evolved Sun dominant is childlike, finding joy in small things and adoring the beauty of life. But the negative manifestation of the Sun can be being incredibly childish, failing to act like a responsible adult.

.

MOON 🌜

Those who have Moon dominant in their chart are known as Lunarians.

POSITIVES:

Moon dominant people appreciate emotions more than logic, or at least they are more familiar with them. To them, things make sense when they speak to them on a deeper level, not only on the intellectual plane. The Moon dominant personality is intuitive and reflective.

People with the Moon as their dominant planet can be very emotional, have trouble controlling themselves, and are, most of the time, followers rather than leaders. They have a very expressive face as well.

They rarely take action hastily. They prefer to wait to see how things unfold, carefully assess the circumstances, and then if their intuition supports it, they make the final decision.

Their emotions can get the better of them and they can struggle to achieve goals as their vision is constantly clouded by their emotions.

Moon dominant people are rarely enthusiastic leaders, unless they fight for something that they find really important. In this case, they display excellent leadership skills.

Very sentimental, they cherish memories and people and do not forget things easily. These natives can go into entertainment fields like Music, Photography, film-making, artists, singers, musicians, actors, poets, writers, etc.

Lunar people have a motherly, nurturing aura. They love children, and their awareness of human emotions is profound and they are always willing to lend a shoulder to cry on.

Animals may be naturally drawn to them as well. Most Moon dominant personalities are very feminine, regardless of gender. They tend to get along with women well.

They are naturally compassionate people who can tune into the needs of others. Their sensitivity makes them empathetic and intuitive as well.

Lunarians have beautiful eyes and a very warm smile that can make anyone feel better just looking at them smile. Lunarians also have good music taste and have a talent of playing instruments or making music.

NEGATIVES:

Lunarians are prone to mood swings and spiralling of emotions. Also if people with a Moon dominant planet in the natal chart lack assertiveness, they expect others to understand them, too, without them saying anything.

This expectation of others reading your mind can cause you a lot of trouble in your interpersonal relationships. There is also a tendency to give too much, in a selfish way. An afflicted Moon can indicate that the person is prone to instilling guilt in others.

Another Moon dominant weakness can be insecurity. Because you are so soft and emotional, you are vulnerable to the criticism of others. They can easily hurt your feelings, and until you grow a shell around your heart, this ca be very painful. As you grow older, this usually gets better and you build up self-confidence.

.

MERCURY 👄

Those who are Mercury dominant are known as Mercurians.

POSITIVES:

People with the dominance of Mercury are generally nervous, observant, and easily irritated. Their minds think very fast and they can have hundreds of ideas zooming in and out their minds.

If you are a Mercurian, you are intelligent, have great communication skills, and generally speaking, you are fun to be around.

With your Mercury dominant planet, you are curious and open-minded. Mercury-ruled natives possess nervous energy that acts as an antenna that picks up all the energies and information around them.

They then process this information in a unique way and relay it to others. Some of them also have a talent for impersonating others. You can easily pick up any accent or way of speaking.

If you have Mercury as your dominant planet, you are a natural-born communicator. Mercurians are the life of the party. They are witty, gregarious, and have a great sense of humor.

They learn foreign languages easily, many of them is fluent in several languages.

They love to talk and have an endless supply of questions. They are also great Pranksters but Mercurians can sometimes be manipulative or fickle.

They can get into jobs connected to the planet Mercury, like jobs that require speaking and writing a lot, writers, programmers, or people in fields where you need strong logical thinking, such as science or math, teacher, journalist, interpreter, or jobs in the field of media or advertising,etc.

NEGATIVES:

The first thing you have to know about Mercury is that it has a very short attention span. Always hungry for information, Mercury wants something new every minute.

A Mercury dominant personality gets bored very quickly. Being in a low-stimuli environment is a smaller torture for a Mercury dominant in the long run. And in the short run, too.

A strong Mercury in the natal chart suggests that you are often nervous, and you should relax more. Or at least channel this in a creative way.

Mercury is a thinker, but it doesn’t tend to be a doer. Also, when it comes to your humor, developing empathy is important here. Your jokes can be hurtful, and there are many people who don’t appreciate scold and irony, especially if it was inspired by them.

Mercurians can be senseless and with little empathy unless their chart is balanced.

VENUS 💄

Those who are Venus dominant are known as Venusians.

POSITIVES:

Venusians have exquisite taste and a predilection for beauty and the arts. Their charm, grace, and elegance are not just skin deep but reflect in their inner reality as well.

They are in love with the idea of love. Venusians cannot stand in the face of the ugliest truth of all: injustice, and they make excellent mediators due to their pleasant demeanor.

They also have an extraordinary gift for bringing out the finest qualities in everyone they come into contact with. They are peace lovers and have a knack for beautifying themselves, others and their environment.

A Venus dominant planet in astrology suggests that you love to be around others. A Venus dominant planet usually gives you great social skills. You can easily create harmony and balance in relationships. Generally speaking, people with a Venus dominant birth chart can make friends quickly and they get along well with everybody.

In love, they can be demanding, needy and possessive; they feel the need to be loved by their friends and family members, as well as prospective romantic partners.

These natives do very well in jobs connected to justice, human-rights, feminism, women, beauty products, fashion, food,beauty industry, interior design,models, artists, etc.

NEGATIVES:

The negative manifestation of Venus includes greed, envy, self-indulgence. These can be frequently present with an afflicted Venus. Venus is a very sensitive planet, it doesn’t cope with hard aspects well.

A damaged Venus in the natal chart usually makes the person feel worthless of love, have low self-confidence, and choose the wrong partners.

It sounds masochistic, but with challenging aspects, if you have Venus dominant planet in the birth chart, it can make you drawn to suffering and hardships.

Venus dominant people are often born hedonists. A person with a Venus dominant planet in astrology seeks pleasure all the time. This can make life pleasant and fun, but as all things, it is the best when done within bounds.

With a strong but afflicted Venus, there is a tendency to engage in love affairs that on a deep level, do not serve you. Often, you are attracted to partners who don’t appreciate you and don’t genuinely care for you.

You can also be prone to overindulgence. An afflicted Venus dominant planet can result in overeating, overdrinking, overspending. You often spend money on luxuries and on things you couldn’t really afford. This can lead to bigger problems if it gets out of control.

.

MARS 🔥

Those who are Mars dominant are known as Martians.

POSITIVES:

Martians enjoy conquering. This planet loves to win and hates to loose. With Mars strong in your chart, you want to be the first and the best. A strong Mars suggests a person who never gives up and never looses hope. Mars makes you enthusiastic and gifts you with high energy levels.

Martians are Passionate and competitive. They understand that life is a competition and they are going to get ahead. If Mars is your dominant planet, you are fire personified: courageous and wild.

People find that sensual about you. But you are also childish and innocent in many ways. You are prepared to fight tooth and nail for your loved ones and your convictions.

This is the planet of action and excitement. The Martian has a strong personality and is always ready to take on new challenges. Martians can be brutally bold. There is fine line between honesty and hurting other’s feelings, and Mars have no idea where this line is, unless there is some Venusian influence to balance it out.

People who have Mars as their dominant planet have a combative and protective nature. Although they may suffer from anxiety, they never give up and refuse to let adversity triumph.

They are intense and fiery, and you can generally feel the intensity of their presence. They do not take matters lightly and have an all or nothing approach in life.

Martians are natural athletes with a high sex drive. They are straightforward and logical but also ambitious and impatient. They tend to be temperamental and aren’t afraid to speak their mind when they feel insulted or threatened.

Although they are strong-willed, they respect those who challenge their ideas in the name of fairness and equality. While their assertion and independence typically gets what they want, they can sometimes be impulsive and argumentative.

They have so much energy they need an outlet to channel their creative expressions, such as sports, trainers, engineers and entrepreneurship.

NEGATIVES:

They get angry quickly, and when they are angry, they are really angry. They don’t hesitate to let you know how they feel. Mars dominants are impulsive and can be aggressive. When they see red, they stop thinking and act out of anger.

The violent nature of Mars can be destructive. With a strong Mars, you are prone to outbursts that cause a lot of harm. Hard aspects to Mars in the natal chart can indicate a violent and disagreeable person.

Martians are great at beginning things. However, they are not that great at follow through. Sticking to a plan and working patiently can be hard for you, unless you have the element earth strong in your natal chart.

JUPITER 💃

Those who are Jupiter dominant are known as Jupiterians.

POSITIVES:

Have you heard that someone was born under a lucky star? Well, this lucky star is often Jupiter. If you have a Jupiter dominant planet, you are truly blessed. Unless it is very damaged in your chart, you enjoy its beneficial rays through your life.

Jupiter dominant people are usually benevolent and generous. They are like this planet itself. Jupiter is all about giving, and the more you give, the more Jupiter rewards you. Jupiter is the planet of sharing and expansion. Jupiter dominant people love to give, no matter if it is knowledge, time, material gifts, or undivided attention.

Jupiterians are the ultimate eternal optimists who never let the sun go down on their thirst for knowledge. If Jupiter is your dominant planet, you seek to understand the world not only through study and broadening your horizons but also through experience. As you grow older, you become more of a wise sage.

Since Jupiter is the planet of luck, expansion and growth, this planet bestows upon you infinite luck and hope. You gain wisdom through your life experiences, which often serve as a stepping stone for other people. With this planet strong in your chart, you enjoy helping others, and do so whenever you can.

They are Extremely adventurous and they will rush in where angels fear to tread. They have an expansive nature and need to be constantly experiencing and learning.

Jupiterians can easily provoke their own Luck if they believe in themselves. The planet brings wealth and glory to those who maintain a positive attitude.

This planet suggests an outgoing, extroverted, upbeat personality. Jupiterians always find hope, and they can inspire others to believe that everything will turn out right. It is very rare to see someone with a dominant Jupiter to be sad for a longer period of time.

With this planet strong in your chart, you are particularly interested in topics such as religion, philosophy, spirituality. You enjoy exploring different countries and cultures.

As the planet of goodwill, these people can be extremely charitable and environmentally conscious. Your sense of humor is a reprieve for many people because your philosophy is to ride through life joyfully, despite hardships.

Your love and charm are as big as your curiosity and kindness for the world.People can always count on you to tell the truth. Like Mercury, Jupiter is the planet of knowledge but focuses on the philosophical level. However, you may sometimes be overindulgent and pretentious when it comes to your beliefs.

These natives can get into jobs of entertainment, TV Host, TV shows, dancing, foreign languages, traveling, sales and advertising, teaching, working in jobs connected to animals, specifically horses. etc.

NEGATIVES:

People who were born with Jupiter as their dominant planet have a volatile character and can easily become angry or get carried away.

With a Jupiter dominant natal chart, you are prone to overdoing things. You bite off more than you chew. Venus and Jupiter dominant planets in the natal chart can lead to over-indulgence. You don’t know when to stop, and you overdo everything.

What Jupiter touches, expands it. However, it doesn’t only increase the good things, it can cause some trouble, too, by making bad things also bigger.

Jupiter dominant personalities frequently overeat, overspend, overestimate themselves and if Jupiter is negatively aspects by Saturn or Venus, then usually it's the opposite.

Another issue is getting used to the luck of Jupiter. If you count on its benevolence instead of your own efforts, you are bound to be disappointed at some point.

To make the most out of Jupiter, you need some Saturnian restriction and self-discipline. When these two planets are in balance, you can do a lot of great things. Jupiter helps you to grow, while Saturn provides a solid foundation and makes the results permanent.

.

SATURN 🪐

Those who are Saturn dominant are known as Saturnians.

POSITIVES:

Saturnians are very capable. A strong Saturn dominant planet suggests that you are well-known for your persistence. They are extremely traditional, they follow the traditions taught to them when they were young throughout their lives.

No one can play the long game better than Saturnians. If your dominant planet is Saturn, your discipline is unmatched, and you have full confidence that time is on your side. You are fiercely independent, to the point where your self-reliance can turn into self-sufficiency.

With Saturn as your dominant planet, you have the ability to see life in a realistic light. You are entirely practical and prefer structure in life, which allows you to be successful in long-term plans and provide stability for others.

Saturnians can get into professions connected to science, mathematics, research, engineering, professions related to mining, teaching, the corporate world, and the military. etc.

You are hardworking and serious about achieving your goals. You abide by the saying, “failing to plan is planning to fail.”. You are reliable and consistent as well. You are sensitive to criticism from others and cautious about new people in your life, you can be close-minded ‌and hold onto past grudges for way too long.

NEGATIVES:

Saturn is known as the planet of limitations and restrictions. This planet delays success and is often a blockage. Sometimes you even feel doomed when it comes to Saturn.

Saturn dominants often feel that they have to deal with the limitations of Saturn much more frequently than most people.

This planet can cause problems overcoming obstacles. People with this stellar influence need to use their mental abilities to make progress and become stronger. These people can be plagued with many challenges in life they need to overcome, and it seems that life is harder on them.

Very often, this planet suggests a lack of emotional support. Some Saturn dominant people grew up in emotionally cold families. Often, you have to learn to express your emotions in a healthy way.

People who have Saturn as their dominant planet are generally unemotional, and not very active. They have trouble getting themselves moving.

In many cases, a Saturn dominant personality has an emotional intelligence below the average, even though they are often brilliant people when to comes to logic. This can be an issue in many life areas.

With this planet strong in your chart, you tend to be a control freak. Control is one of the most Saturnian things in astrology (not in an obsessed way, that’s Pluto). Saturn wants to oversee everything and make sure that everything is optimized. On the other hand, Saturn is the planet of time, something we cannot control at all.

This planet can make you shy and feel awkward on the inside. Saturn dominant personalities are often socially anxious and feel that they are not worthy enough. This is particularly the case when young, what might be related to the hardships in childhood most Saturnians have to face.

.

URANUS ✨

Those who are Uranus dominant are known as Uranians.

POSITIVES:

People born with Uranus as their dominant planet are very creative and have a lot of original ideas. Unfortunately, they often hesitate before putting those ideas into practice.

They need to be more audacious. These people are extremely eccentric and otherworldly, and can sometimes seem like “mad scientists” with all their ingenious, crazy ideas.

Uranians are often nervous, innovative and passionate. They are futurists and have a knack for technology and generally have no issues adapting and evolving with new trends.

Most of the time I have seen that these natives are tall. I have also seen most people who are Gay, Lesbians or anything but straight are Uranians.

These people have physical features that stand out and seems out when compared to others, not in a bad way but it's like very unique.

Uranus dominant people consider freedom and independence to be one of the most important things in life. Uranus dominant people don’t like social norms. They are born questioners: they question the status quo all the time. 

Uranus loves disaster. It simply finds order boring, and Uranus needs new stimuli. There is a tendency to rebel with your Uranus dominant planet in the birth chart. 

This can lead to conflicts and problems related to getting along well with others. Fitting in doesn’t come easy to you, and conformists annoy you with what you perceive as restrictions. Uranus is eccentric and enjoys shocking people, and so do people with a Uranus dominant planet.

You can’t stand being told what to do. If something doesn’t make sense to you, you won’t do it unless you absolutely have too. Uranus dominant people love to break the rules.

These people can get into jobs connected to technology, the internet, computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, anything related to electricity innovation, individual creativity, new ideas, trends, fashion, Intelligence, even music for that matter. Often, people with a Uranus dominant planet have unusual careers and life paths.

NEGATIVES:

If Uranus is afflicted, there can be clashes between you and society. It is important to integrate this planet in a constructive way. 

Some people would say that Uranus dominant people are cold hearted. This is true to some extent, but it’s a better way to put it that they are selectively emotional. 

Even then, some Uranian dominant people don’t know how to express their feelings properly, in a way that the other person understands. This can lead to misunderstandings and clashes in a relationship.

Uranus doesn’t like deep emotional bonds. Experiencing true intimacy can be hard for people with Uranus as their dominant planet in the birth chart.

Uranus is the planet of emotionless connection, connection based on an intellectual attraction. If you want to convince a Uranian, you’d better use logic and arguments instead of trying to play on evoking emotions.

People who have a Uranus dominant planet prefer the brain to the heart. This is not to say that they don’t love anyone at all. They do, but they love the few special people close to their heart.

Even then, some Uranian dominant people don’t know how to express their feelings properly, in a way that the other person understands. This can lead to misunderstandings and clashes in a relationship.

Uranus doesn’t like deep emotional bonds. Experiencing true intimacy can be hard for people with Uranus as their dominant planet in the birth chart.

.

NEPTUNE 💦

Those who are Neptune dominant are known as Neptunians.

POSITIVES:

In astrology, this planet makes you soft, sensitive, mystical, in some sense of the word, unfit for the noise of everyday life. You are the most ethereal people ever.

Another positive manifestation of Neptune is empathy, selfless service, and love that comes from feeling one with everything and everyone around you.

These people tend to be extremely spiritual and prefer to experience and live life through the spiritual side of life as opposed to through the physical side of life. They are extremely compassionate and intuitive and are said to be old souls.

Neptune rules all things related to a different, higher dimension: sleeping, the subconscious, fantasy, isolation, underwater life. People who have a Neptune dominant planet in the birth chart are drawn to mysticism and they can easily tap into the sea of imagination. These are some of the most creative and artistic people out there.

At the end of the day spirituality plays a big role in the lives of Neptune dominant people. You are instinctively aligned with your higher self and the divine. Suffering around you bothers you deeply.

Neptunians can go into professions like artists, sculptors, singers, musicians, and actors, spiritual guides, etc.

Many Neptune dominant people choose to be vegetarians or vegans. They love spending time in nature and they are often concerned about pollution. There is a sense of unity with the whole world, you feel that when you hurt others, you hurt yourself.

NEGATIVES:

Some people with a Neptune dominant birth chart have a hard time drawing boundaries. They often don’t know how to communicate their needs in an assertive and direct way. This can lead to unconscious expectations, which are not met by other people most often.

It is easy to feel lonely if you are a Neptune dominant person. You often retreat into your own world from time to time.

Escapism is a typical Neptunian weakness. With challenging aspects, you simply feel detached from the world and instead of making an effort to fit in, you choose to retreat. This can be observed in many people who have Neptune dominant charts.

Your asylum can be maladaptive daydreaming, but also drugs and alcohol. Some people choose to play video games all day in order to avoid life, while others completely avoid participating in the world. The possibilities are endless here, and this can turn Neptune into a painful planet in the chart.

Neptune dominant people might have a tendency to feel that they are the victims of others. With challenging aspects, they blame others and fail to take responsibility for their lives.

People born with Neptune as their dominant planet are not prone to action and tend to be slow in the way they think and react.

A Neptune dominant birth chart suggests that you are a highly sensitive person. People with this planet strong in their charts are extremely receptive to the energies around them. They soak it up like a sponge, no matter if it is positive or negative.

For Neptune dominant people, it is a must to surround themselves with people who radiate love and understanding. When you are young and haven’t learned to protect yourself yet, you often struggle if you live in a negative environment.

If Neptune is severely afflicted, you can use the foggy energy of Neptune to deceive others. Neptune is the planet of confusion, illusions, deceit. If you live the negative manifestation of this planet, you can either trick others into believing something that is not true or you can project these energies onto others, falling prey to their shady tactics.

.

PLUTO 💥

Those who are Pluto dominant are known as Plutonians.

POSITIVES:

You can always spot a Plutonian because they have an intense energy about them. Like the Scorpio sign that this planet rules, there is a powerful energy to these individuals – you will either be fascinated or intimidated by them.

With Pluto as the dominant planet in your birth chart, you are a born investigator. You are instinctively drawn to hidden things, and you enjoy learning about other people’s secrets. Pluto dominants make great researchers because of this.

People with Pluto as their dominant planet are passionate, sometimes to excess. They do not like to open up to others and can seem extremely mysterious. Sexuality is very important to a Pluto dominant personality, but they often use it as a tool. They usually have above-average sexual power. 

They have a deep emotional world and they like to dissect and get to the bottom of things, making them great investigators. They do not accept anything at face value and are constantly transforming and changing themselves.

Plutonians are attracted to the occult and mysteries of life. They’re hard to get to know, and you cant put your finger on what makes them tick. When aware of their abilities, they can possess a lot of power.

In a relationship, when a Plutonian is in love, they have very intense feelings. They want all or nothing, but preferably, all.

Plutonian people often have the ability to look beneath the surface. They are not easily fooled by appearances. They have an uncanny knack for seeing beyond the veil. They can get into professions like spies, detectives, moles, they and may also have an interest in crime shows and murder mystery.

NEGATIVES:

To begin with, people with a Pluto dominant personality don’t have it easy. They have deeper and more intense feelings than those around them, sometimes triggered by things most are not even aware of.

No wonder they often feel that they are not understood or misunderstood. As such, Plutonians will often have difficult lives. This is necessary for them so that they understand the darker side of human existence.

Many Plutonians had a childhood full of memories of being unwanted or in some way, their parents were dissatisfied with them or even ashamed of them. They learned that there is something wrong with them.

In extreme cases, they experienced even abuse or abandonment in their family, but here there are more indicators in the natal chart. They had to face the dark side of human nature at an early age. Your soul is full of deep wounds.

However, the Pluto dominant personality is prone to depression and feeling alone. Their trust was betrayed in the past, and they have to learn to form healthy relationships that support the healing process. If they fail to do so, they become isolated (this doesn’t have to be physical isolation, being lonely on the inside is just as bad).

If a Pluto dominant personality lives the negative manifestation of this planet, they can be jealous and possessive in a relationship. Pluto is an infamous planet for a reason, and if you don’t take care, you can live out its negative qualities.

Plutonians are not easy for others to understand. They were usually badly hurt (but this is by no means an excuse), and they learned that it’s best to keep their guard on.

People with a Pluto dominant chart are very defensive. They thoroughly test you before they trust you. In the past, they experienced betrayal, and they didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

When discussing Pluto in astrology, you cannot miss the fact that Pluto wants power. So do people who have this planet strong in their charts, no matter what they say. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing: power is neutral, it’s up to you to use it the right way.

You remember the pain of being controlled, and you want to avoid it by trying to control others. Depending on the rest of the chart, an emphasized Pluto can indicate a very strong financial drive.

Some Plutonians are hungry for worldly power, and they end up drawn to politics or in other type of positions of power. With Pluto dominant in your chart, there is a tendency to be selfish.

☆ACTIVITIES FOR INSYS PARTNERS!

okay i promise we'll make the new scp layout for our tumblr soon, it'll just be a while😭 anyways! we decided to make a list of things for insys partners to do when fronting (coming from two alters who've been together for over a year!)

to make things easier, i (🎩 proxy) will be writing in plain white, and my partner (🕯 proxy) will be using blue.

we have also made sure that polyamorous partners will also be capable of doing all the things in this list. whilst we are not poly ourselves, we understand others very well may be.

singing with eachother! be it by taking turns with each verse, picking songs for eachother to sing, singing different characters in songs with multiple characters, etcetera, singing is something we do a lot! (we did it a few minutes ago :D)

making a music playlist together! with us, we made a playlist together full of love songs/songs that remind us of eachother and the relationship we have

write poems for/with eachother! you could write separate poems, you could work together to make a poem, or you could write one stanza each about eachother until it's a full poem

helping eachother to get through work you have for the day. if you attend school, you could change who the main fronter is every lesson. if you have work, you could change every hour or so. overall, take fronting shifts, and when you aren't the main fronter, stay in co-front to talk to eachother. we find it makes the day pass far quicker whilst also motivating us. if you have a frontspace, you can also interact with eachother throughout the day/when you aren't the main fronter. with us, we'll occasionally share kisses, and since we have a sofa in our frontspace, we'll either sit next to eachother, or on the other's lap.

making food together! you could bake, cook, or do anything really :) a personal favorite of ours is sandwiches and soup!

watching something together. you could watch a tv show, a movie, a video, a series, anything that comes to mind. we personally enjoy watching analog horror together. and laughing when the other gets scared. that too.

playing games together is a good one! you could switch players every few minutes/hours depending on the game, or switch players every time you die. that or you can have one person play as the other talks to them/advises them on what to do (this goes for every activity!)

drawing yourselves together is a nice one aswell! you could draw yourselves together in an actual art piece, or just as doodles (we're planning on drawing ourselves as cats later so we can have matching profiles, tell us if you wanna see!) you can also draw eachother if you're fronting alone and are missing them

match profiles! if you use any logging/proxy tool, you can make your bios, layouts, banners, pfps and all that lot match :D we have matching layouts, banners, quotes, and plan on having matching profiles.

this list will grow when we think of more, have fun!

[mc-survivalist-steven]

(Heya! Ooc related: I’ve actually been thinking of starting a Minecraft ask blog myself. Do you have any advice on how to get your foot in the water? Are there any communities I can join to connect with people more easily?)

/ooc HAHAHA- Oh man.

To start off, do note that: This is entirely MY perspective and MY experience. I'm gonna tell you ALL I know, so the good and bad will be included. Always take advice with a grain of salt.

IT'S GONNA BE SUPER LONG, FAM, SO IF YOU AINT INTO READING ESSAYS IN SOME NICHE HOBBY just scroll all the way down 👍

Also, I've been an outlier in this community for prioritizing askblog and storywriting (than jobhunting. DO NOT BE LIKE ME.), so, please don't use me as an example and find what's the best askblogging style for you.

▦ Note: edited at 26/03/25 for better readability and extra elaboration on some parts.

1. Know the scene. (Currently? p bad lmao)

Here's the first bad news: You kind of entered at the timeframe of Highest Difficulty (tm) at the moment. I'll be real with you right now, the community is very inactive atm. I can't blame them. A lot of people I know have real life priorities to do. I myself am only here because I'm doing askblog mid commissions and jobhunting.

With that said, you CAN still open an askblog, you just have to realize that the following will occur:

↪ Lack of the interactions/asks you hope to have. ↪ Lack of notes/validation. ↪ Lack of people who would plan with you or join events. ↪ Lack of interest.

And this WILL suck. It'll get to you. It got to me, obviously. But I'm still going because, again, I am an outlier, and TECHNICALLY I also have a goal I always look forward to to keep creating, which ties to...

. .

2. Your type of Askblog. (Neutral. This depends on you.)

Note first that you CAN always experiment and change styles midway if you don't feel for it. I only find mine because I've been here since 2013, LMAO, so don't be too pressed as a beginner.

But knowing the type of person you are, how you create, and your limits in creating is important. Knowing where you also want to steer your blog is important. Your skills are also important.

So your askblog MUST depend on what kind of content you want to do.

↪ Do you want to do askblog just for fun? Then limit the amount of effort you put into it, else you burnout when you don't get the validation you want. ↪ Do you do it to practice art or writing? Then put your SOUL into it. Just know it'll be slow and slow = also slow engagement. ↪ Do you do it to tell a story only? Not really an artist? Might want to commission someone for RP emotion icons and flex off your writing chops. Do know ppl prefer images rather than text.

This will be the core basis of your motivation for the blog. If you lose sight of this, you will burnout/quit faster.

I suggest if you don't know what to do: Do it for fun first. Do it blind. Notes will start very small, mostly 0 and max at 3... but if you have no expectation, you will take it less painfully. This is important, especially when you start off. And overtime when you start to solidify what you actually wanna do with the blog, you may switch gears. People will follow it if they're interested! So just keep trying.

. .

3. How to Run an Askblog (The hard part lmfao)

Bro I cannot stress ENOUGH that I cannot read people and especially you. I cannot tell you how to run your askblog. Your vision of your OC and story is purely yours, so only you can unlock the secret of what makes your blog 'you'.

But I can tell you what USUALLY works in nabbing people's attention and want to interact with your OCs:

↪ Endermen OCs. (e.g. askendy) They are super popular. No shade to Endermen blogs, it's just what works + the endermen community is the largest rn. ↪ Great artist and replies with images. (E.g. Askzub) Sorry to all the text only askblogs / those who answer with too much text... but if you wonder why people engage less, it's probably that. ↪ Great event hosts, aka blogs who knows how to rally up the masses in a collaborative effort to spice up the community. (e.g. rnotsleeping, 'Monstrosity of the Night' event) ↪ A continuous story featuring duo/trios with engaging storyline. (e.g. hexavexen and ask-vulcan-and-toby) ↪ A gimmick that is simple but interesting. Keep it to one sentence, e.g. mine: 'Retired herobrine with one eye.' (this caught the attention of a LOT of people surprisingly.) ↪ Characters that copies canon minecraft design concept to a T, but has some kind of story people wanna see. (e.g. Enderbro.) ↪ HUMOROUS/SOFTCORE blogs. Ironic, slice of life, or funny. We need more humor tbh. (e.g. hiiamramy (i love this cute blog lmao))

Again, these may or may not work for you. This is the trend that I just frequently see. You can make whatever you want, but know that these are what I see usually climb up to the top.

MEANWHILE, here's the parts that I think DEFINITELY make blogs stand out:

↪ Utilizing your asks in a smart way. (More at #4) ↪ Askblogs with APPROACHABLE quality. Askblog is about interaction.You may want to make space for people to include their OCs (TO A DEGREE) with you and also experience your stories with you. ↪ Characters who don't annoy the viewers/other askbloggers through asks. I cannot stress enough how merely annoying people can get you so much flak. ↪ Characters who tries to interact a lot with other blogs, but isn't intrusive about it. Keep it cool when you try to interact with bigger blogs! They're all riddled with anxiety just like the rest of us.

But also, here's the deal: If you want to break the market, you got to put in some effort. Basically, the same as marketing every products and yourself. You gotta post often, draw often, and send asks (THAT WORKS for both you and your target blog) often. Sometimes you hit the jackpot, most times people ignore you.

It's par for the course. If you think something isn't working, though, always ask for criticism. Just... know that most ppl are too nice to tell you where you went wrong, so, uh... Idk? Ask someone who you trust and is willing to be upfront with you, I suppose.

. .

4. Utilizing ASKS holy shit this is so important to me

You know how in 2013 everyone spams asks so much that you have like 80 asks per blog in a week? And that 'if you spam me or send asks that is unfitting to the blog, I'll delete it uwu' mindset?

Don't.

Let me let you in into my secret. Asks are RARE these days. Baiting for them is even harder. Only your friends will send you asks, and overtime they'll run out of things to ask. If someone sent you a humor ask and you want to throw it away... well... What if I tell you not to?

Here's what you can do:

When you get an ask that feels too humorous or OOC or trolling, weigh how much you can twist it to fit YOUR narrative. For example, this is the ask I got.

Imagine getting this 1 year ago at the peak of Steven getting stuck in the Nether at a break apart state. Your first reaction would be: 'Man, this makes no sense. I should delete it.'

Nope. Weigh it first.

Can you utilize this somehow? Usually, id either answer it in character and then end it with some kind of lore reveal. (e.g. your character sees this and goes 'no! I never did this! ...or did I...' -flashback about an enderman friend they've forgotten-) so you still answer accordingly BUT also reveal something about your character!

See? This engages viewer's interest while also accommodates the ask. Everyone's happy.

Do note some asks can't work like this no matter what you do. You can bank these for future happenings.

...and if the asks are highly uncomfortable, or clearly a troll you can't utilize, or just 'hi.'? Probably just delete those, yeah.

. .

4. pt2, Baiting asks.

Baiting asks is like fishing. You gotta know when to reel and when to hold. Lemme explain.

The basic on this is: don't make your ocs TOO mysterious, but also not TOO open. TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE INFO ABOUT YOUR OCS WILL NOT HELP EITHER PARTY! Especially when we are in a drought like this! So yap, reveal, hide ONLY the most important secrets they have, and then reveal it slowly through asks and flashbacks.

Make askers feel that they unlock your ocs more (satisfaction on their end) and you get to infodump on them who your OCs are in a slow pace (satisfaction on your end.)

"But Doe, I can't do this if I don't even get asks."

I grab you gently.

Then drop lore posts.

I notice a lot of askbloggers refuse to post ANYTHING unless they got asks. DON'T. DO THIS. Realize that people usually don't ask because they have NOTHING to ask about. GIVE them something to ask about!

And remember! Do it in a trickle. BOTH in your standalone and answer posts.

So reveal in a consistent, slow trickle way. Give people things to ask about, while also not be too protective of your secrets and reveals.

.

.

4. pt 3, throwing asks.

I BEG OF YOU. SEND ASKS.

You send asks in return to getting asks. That's why non-anon asks is IMPORTANT. It lets people know WHO you are! SO THEY CAN SEND ASKS BACK AT YOU.

Here's my formula:

↪ Read the blog about 20 posts back and figure out something you can ask about. ↪ Ask 2 asks IN CHARACTER, PROPERLY. (format: "your ask here" > Line break > @.yourblogurlhere) This allows you to extend an olive branch for interaction (and future character relationship (friendship, enemies, rivalry, etc)) with the character, while staying in character. [E.g. "Hey, man! I noticed the sweet ride you have outside the house. Is that yours? Because I got a lot to talk about if you like cars!" - @.software-bugs-b-gon] ↪ THEN SEND 2+ MORE ASKS IN ANON with differing styles and personalities to give them MORE FOOD to continue their blog. This allows you to be slightly mean or out of character and gives YOU more ooc leeway to pry the character open further.

Now you just askbombed a blog with 4 asks! That's 4 POSTS OF CONTENT! You're happy, they're happy. YIPPEE!

AND IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO GOT AN ASKBOMB, please either return it or spread it to other blogs. Please.

P l e a s e. . .

5. Keeping it fresh.

Like a comic, people gotta come up with new story ideas else the blog stagnates.

If you aren't a story driven blog, letting people do M!As or just do silly 'scenes' and 'situations' work. Think of it like a slice of life or a sitcom.

Shit happens, and your OC is put into it. Let people ask things that help drive them around!

If it's story related, breaking it into arcs and story events will also help you introduce something new per arc and thus, not stagnate!

. .

6. I am tired of askblogging, and I want to take a break. How do i come back from that?

By, uhh... By just coming back?

There's not really a secret sauce to this, I feel like. Do note I am one of the more well-known askblogs out there, so I can just come back anytime and still have people waiting for me. I know that much. But still, not EVERYONE waits for me, y'know? So I just treat it like I'm starting over. No expectation, no grumpy because people aren't waiting for me. I just write for myself and to entertain, and those who like will come back and those who don't can leave and this is okay. This is normal! Don't lose hope.

It's kind of depressing to say 'just don't expect too much,' but it is actually the mindset you need. Do it for YOU, mainly.

And if you somehow deep, deep down know what you have isn't working out?

It's fine to quit! Or restart. Whatever works for you.

But also, quit with honor! Keep these in mind:

↪ DON'T JUST POOF. Believe me. You may be surprised how many people will be sad you're leaving, and what's worse is leaving things open ended will bite you in the ass. I've seen it happen. THRICE NOW actually. None of them ever ends pretty... I'd suggest just taking a hiatus before breaking the news. ↪ Take note of everyone you plan with, and contact them. Tell them you are quitting, and open up a conversation on what they can do in your absence to not break their story midway. Just- just keep open communications going? It'll suck then but it'll cover your bases. ↪ Tell your followers. Obviously LMAO. ↪ If you have the balls, ask them to anon message you on what you can do better for next askblog. People will be more upfront when they are hidden in anon, so you will get some nasty comments. If you want to pursue better writing/art/askblog and you can take the heat, try it out. If you CANNOT take the heat, DO NOT DO THIS. Especially when you quit for mental health reasons. ↪ This is just me to you, don't delete your blog, man. Just close your asks and let it up for good time's sake. I can't tell you what to do with your blog, though, but I prefer archived blogs over deleted ones.

. .

7. Last one I promise: HAVE. FUN.

Askblogging isn't a full time job. You do it because it's probably like a lite-comic for you. (me.) Or maybe it's a place to showcase your OCs. (me.) Or maybe it's because you are insane and you just want to yap about stories and humanity and touch that SOUL in everyone and understand complex emotions in niche situations that wrench your guts (also me.)

No matter the answer, have fun. The blog is for you to LARP as your character and interact with others. Find your community, find the people you belong with,

and most importantly: FIND THAT SWEET SPOT OF WHY YOU CREATE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Just have fun. It's your blog, your rules. I am just an old man who likes to see more blogs show up, so whatever your decision is:

Make your own damn fun, okay?

.

.

ALRIGHT THATS MY YAP HERES THE TLDR:

The scene is currently dead, but make one anyway. Just don't expect much from it atm. You will start on Highest Difficulty, and I don't blame you if you can't garner interest no matter what you do.

Decide on your type of askblog. This will be your core, so if you lose motivation you still have the core to fall back onto. Why do YOU want to make an askblog? What is it for you?

Askblog isn't easy to run. You have to keep your eye on trends, other blogs' stories (you are invested in) and events. Some things work and some don't. But most importantly: Post a lot, include pictures if can, send asks and interact a lot with others!

Know how to utilize your asks. They are SCARCE. Don't just throw away asks that 'makes no sense' and try to twist it your needs. b. Additionally, learn how to bait asks by feeding your viewers bits and pieces that makes up a big secret/character of your OC. Give them something WORTH asking. c. ADDITIONALLY throw a lot of asks. Send some in character and a LOT in anon. Make some askblog happy. We need asks, after all.

Keep it fresh. Don't let the blog stagnate.

If you don't think it works out, it's ok to Quit or Restart. But please do it with other people in mind. Quit with dignity.

Finally, HAVE FUN. Do what it takes to keep the fun fresh for YOU.

. . .

For communities, I suggest LiLaira's MC discord community just to find people you can vibe with. You can then do your own smaller discord community to yap MCaskblog with, preferably those you are chill with and can rotate ideas with.

Joining here also will give you access to the Tumblr MCaskblog community, which helps with your MCaskblog feed.

(both are currently low activity though, just a heads up.)

I'm sure there are more communities out there that I don't know of. Just research who are behind them and be careful with what you choose!

I myself is in the above MC discord. If you wanna yap OCs with me, I am the kind of bastard who camps in the oc discuss channel, sooo... I guess I'll be waiting! :D

Motivation: things to like about these subjects

Math:

Isn’t math kinda magical in a way? See, the thing about math is that it’s the same in every country! Every equation, no matter how hard or complex or long, can easily be broken down into much easier ones, (like simple adding, multiplying, dividing, or subtracting) Once you know what’s going on, it’s not really that hard. (+ take cute notes!!)

Science:

Ookay, honestly? Science is genuinely so interesting! How your body works, how plants create their own food, how the whole solar system was made/ operates, whether there’s other life out there, chemical reactions & experiments? If you actually tried to be fascinated by it, you’ll be surprised how incredible it all is! (+ take cute notes!!)

English:

Me personally, I loveee English. You can too by trying to romanticise it!

If you’re doing poetry, like what’s there not to like? Poetry is such a beautiful language, it’s a way of expression through gentleness.

Writing short stories? This is my favourite. You can write it about anything, the possibilities are endless! Doesn’t it excite you?

History

Don’t try to remember facts and dates of events, try to learn the story behind it. You’ll find that it actually becomes so much more interesting if you remember the story, the emotions, the plots of the event.

Romanticising: hot chocolate or some hot coffee, studying at home, hair in a messy bun, playing some classical music in the background.

(+ also in class when you’re taking notes, you can doodle pictures of the people (stick figures for me lol), how they’d feel like or events on the side to add a bit of fun to it)

And honestly, history is such ‘romance subject’ (like arts, music, literature, languages)

Geography

Become good at it. If you don’t already have an interest in geography, then what helped me was becoming good at it. Paying attention during lessons, taking cute notes, etc. becoming good at it made it so much easier and less scary

Languages

This is also what I’d call a “Romance language”. Also dont you want to learn new languages? So many people decide to learn languages later in their lives because they find out it helps you in one way or another, but in school they’re already teaching it to you in the BEST WAY! Also knowing and being able to speak more than 1 languages fluently makes you SO powerful bc then you can speak in more countries. And also imagine how impressed people would be?!

Music

Have fun with it! It mostly depends on what you are doing in your music lessons, but what you would normally be doing is learning/ practicing an instrument. Don’t be immature and play it at random times when the teacher is talking, but just have fun with it! Again, like i said earlier, so many people start to learn music so much later in their lives and here it is being handed to you on a silver platter. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!

Art / art&design

Personally, I LOVE art!! It’s another “romance subject”. It’s a beautiful form of expression. Even though you may not be doing what you want to be doing, still have fun with it!! Be creative! And importantly: loosen up! Art, like beauty, is very very subjective. One person’s scribble can be another’s MASTERPIECE! So stop bring so worried with it being “correct”. Just have appreciation.

P.E (physical education/ sport)

I just don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t like PE. Like you don’t even have to learn anything, you just run around playing fun games. And as a bonus u get fit!

xoxo, vanilla

[deathbxnny]

So tumblr decided to screw me over and posted the ask too early, which made me delete it in panic and lose the original ask. However!! I thankfully saved the first part of the ask, so here it is:

May I please request Yanqing learning to play a flute because he heard his s/o singing and wanted to be able to join?

Sorry again to the Anon. I also added/changed up the idea a little, so I hope you guys like it!!<33

Content: Established relationship, reader is a singer, teen reader, Jing Yuan being a smug menace, kind of unserious, sfw

Reader has no mentioned pronouns!

((Not proofread))

The trouble of young love. (Yanqing x GN!Reader)

"You... want to learn how to play the flute?" Jing Yuan muttered in near disbelief, his brow raising high as he gazed down at the determined boy, who gave him a simple nod of approval. "Yes. And preferably, by the end of this week." He stated as though it was the easiest thing in the world to simply just learn an instrument in under a week. The general unfortunately didn't doubt that Yanqing genuinely believed that, however.

Jing Yuan blinked in surprise before glancing around quickly in thought. Was this another prank of his? No, it definitely wasn't that simple.

"... And why?" "Oh well... uh..." Yanqing nervously pulled at the collar of his uniform, suddenly slightly flustered and unwilling to share what had gotten him so awfully motivated in the first place. Not that the older man really needed to hear it, as he already had an inkling on what, or rather who, it could be. "... Does it even matter why? I've just been feeling very... musically inclined lately." Jing Yuan snorted at that despite his better judgment, which made Yanqing scowl in offense.

"I'm having a hard time believing that, Yanqing."

The blonde crossed his arms in defiance. "You're not even taking my request seriously, Master." He said, watching as said man leaned back in his chair and near mockingly crossed his arms as well. "It's not that I'm not taking this seriously... it's just that you've never had an interest in such artistic things before." He clarified, even if Yanqing knew better than to believe that it was just an innocent inquiry. "Besides... learning to play a flute is the same as wielding a sword. You need alot of time and patience to hone your skills. A week won't suffice." "And if it is?"

Jing Yuan now grinned in amusement, having expected to be challenged on this. He supposed that this would make for a good teaching lesson in the long run and whilst it may not be the most responsible thing to do, he decided that this would also serve as a form of small punishment for disturbing his "work" in the grand office.

Ah, young love... truly a troublesome thing.

The older man figured that he was doing all of this for you only. Yanqing mentioned your fear of singing in front of large crowds before, and therefore, it didn't come as a surprise that he wanted to do everything in his power to make his lover happy. In a way, it made the general proud to see the boy slowly grow into a young man... even if it came at the cost of his sanity at times. You had changed the lieutenant of the cloud nights in many ways. Some good and some awfully questionable, to say the least. But he figured Yanqing would learn such things on his own in due time.

"Consider me defeated." "And I get a raise to my allowance?" "Perhaps I'll consider it, depending on how well you play." That's all Yanqing needed to hear, the excitement and fire that burned in him at the prospect of not only beating his own master and then also getting more money to share with his dear dove made him immideatly turn and filter out of the room with no further comment. Unknowing of the perilous path he'd have to take in order to learn the art of this instrument.

He was confident that he could make it in under a week so that he could accompany your singing during your first ever stage performance in the grand theaters of the Luofu, which is the whole reason he wanted to learn how to play the flute in the first place.

It couldn't be that hard after all, right?

---

Well, after a good 5 days of relentless training, he still couldn't play more than notes akin to demonic screeching. The general was fair enough to lend him a fancy flute from his own youth, alongside a guide and a couple of traditional music sheets. And yet, it all ended with him laying sprawled out on top of them, the instrument carelessly tossed onto a nearby pillow, whilst he stared up at the ceiling with a deadpan.

Perhaps he truly had underestimated the sheer power of the flute.

But he couldn't claim defeat. At this point, it had become something personal. A challenge that neared one of life and death. If he lost now, then the general would bring this up for centuries to come, and Yanqing did not want to live through that personal hell. Sighing deeply, he rubbed his tired eyes.

Surely, there had to be something he was doing wrong. And yet he just couldn't figure out what it was. He hadn't slept or rested properly in days either, having been too focused on this life changing mission that he just had no care for anything else. But the self-doubt was beginning to creep in, and he didn't know if he was more upset at himself or at the general. He simply wasn't as talented as you were musically.

And just as his eyes were beginning to flutter shut in defeat, your melodic voice breathed life right back into him. He inhaled deeply, quickly drapping a couple of blankets and pillows over the flute and music sheets before he quickly summoned a sword to act as though he was polishing it. Entering the room with an obvious air of worry and nervousness, you gave him a weak smile.

"Yanqing." You hummed gently, perhaps even nearly shyly as you approached him and took a careful seat next to him. His hand reached out and pressed it's palm against your warm cheek, a tired smile gracing his lips. "Hello there, my dove... it's late out. Why are you here?" He asked, nervous that you'd notice the golden flute that was sticking out from behind a pillow a couple meters away. But thankfully you only had eyes on him, as you fidgeted with your hands.

"The last rehearsal is tomorrow... and I'm starting to have doubts... especially after I heard the rumor regarding the general and the Master Diviner attending the performance as well! I didn't know it was going to be such a big thing..." And it wouldn't have been if Yanqing never mentioned a word of it. He should've guessed that his master would eventually figure out his plans and attempt to get first row seats to view his defeat. Something about it filled him with strong determination, the need to win resurfacing in his heart. If not for himself, then you.

"Don't worry about it. Just focus on your singing, and I'll take care of the rest." He said, a serious look on his face that made you raise a confused brow. Yet you thankfully didn't dwell on his cryptic words any further due to him swiftly changing the topic to more mundane things to keep you distracted.

He eventually walked you home, your hand in his, the sun having set completely hours ago. It was a calming moment that refocused his mind and soul on the task at hand, which he ofcourse immideatly resumed once he returned to the estate. It didn't matter to him if he had to stay up 2 more days for this to work.

He'd play the most beautiful sounds on the flute to accompany your singing and if it's the last thing he did.

At this point, he was perhaps just doing it to wipe that smug look off of his mentors face.

---

"Alright! All done... you look great, (Y/N)!" One of your friends grinned as she fixed up the last details on your rather lavish performance clothes. You tried to weakly smile back, unable to help the deep feeling of fear that ran through you. "Is the theater room full already?" "To the brim! And the General and Master Diviner have also arrived just now... man, it's a real fullhouse tonight." She trailed off, missing the way all color seemed to leave your face.

You had hoped that it was a simple rumour, but after sneaking a peek from behind the curtains into the grand hall, your fears truly did come true. Jing Yuan was casually leaning back in his seat as he conversed with Fu Xuan about a topic that made the woman deadpan at him in annoyance.

This is definitely going to be a disaster, you concluded with an affirmative nod.

"(Y/N)? Please get in formation. The performance is just about to start." The director whispered to you when the lights dimmed and you were pushed towards the stage. Your heart was beating against your chest, your mouth feeling dry. How were you supposed to do this? You couldn't do it. The fear was too great.

And it didn't help that Yanqing was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.

Gulping as the music started, you shakily opened your mouth when suddenly the most melodic symphony of a flute accompanied your at first trembling voice. You blinked in surprise, eyes glancing over to see your lover resting atop a fake tree as his fingers moved along the instrument. Finally understanding everything, you turned to the audience with newfound confidence. Your voice traveled throughout the entire stadium and bewitched it's listeners. No one could look away if they wanted to.

And by the end of the performance, no one could stay seated either, as they cheered and clapped loudly... except for Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, who still looked hardly impressed next to the general. They watched as Yanqing approached you with a wide smile, your arms immideatly wrapping around him in sincere gratefulness. Giving the man an expectant look, the Master Diviner crossed her arms with a frown.

"Well? What type of teaching moment was this supposed to be?" She asked, not being convinced of his ways of teaching at all anymore. Jing Yuan kept staring ahead, a calm and victorious smile on his lips whilst he watched you and Yanqing happily talk on stage. "That he should learn how to be patient and not overdo things that take time, unless he wants to reap the consequences." Fu Xuan raised a brow, obviously very much unimpressed. "You do realise that this just proved to him that he doesn't need to do that?" "Ah no... he won't do it ever again. Just wait." He simply replied, his grin widening when Yanqing's face dropped. There was a pause... before the boy suddenly just finally collapsed into your arms and chaos broke out.

Fu Xuan gave Jing Yuan a near horrified glance, the older man only continuing to smile in content.

He did try and warn him after all.

Alrighttt... I hope this was fine, Anon!! I once again apologize for accidentally deleting your request and hope this was okay enough to make up for it!!<33

[entiqua]

I love your artstyle!! Do you have any tips for drawing?

thank you so much! i'm really happy you like it!!💗 as for tips, what i would say would change drastically depending on what kind you're looking for, but some very general ones:

draw what you love and want to see most, regardless of whether anyone else wants to see it. if you don't enjoy what you're drawing it'll never come out as good or genuine as something your whole heart and soul is in. i mean you'd think this would be a no-brainer but sometimes i've had to sit back and ask myself 'if no one was ever going to see this except me, would i actually spend time drawing this?' and i was surprised by the answer

that said, it is also completely valid if your motivation for drawing is to draw for other people! there have been plenty of times where i was too artblocked to draw my own ideas but was still able to draw commissions or gifts and enjoyed it simply because making other people happy with my art makes me happy.

don't get too caught up in having a consistent art style. in my experience this 1000% hinders you

having your sense of anatomy degrade over time without you noticing because you keep drawing the same types of characters is a very real thing! if this is a concern to you be sure to draw a variety

follow a billion artists that you like the art of and you will have endless inspiration injected directly into your brain every time you open social media

my favourite practical tip for those who draw at a desk: keep a small mirror next to you at all times. absolute game changer for quickly referencing hands

if you're drawing digitally, make the canvas huge! in my experience this lets you draw messier/faster and you can't tell at all when you zoom out. if you tend to get stuck spending unnecessary amounts of time micromanaging pixels (me💀) keep it zoomed out while drawing

related to the above point, messy drawings can have far more expressiveness in them than neat and polished drawings. nowadays i never do lineart and go straight from 'barebones stickman pose' to 'varying-levels-of-coherent sketch' and use that as my lineart. sweet freedom from the sketch-looks-better-than-the-lineart phenomenon

if your goal is to improve, then you really do have to scrutinize your art, figure out what you're not satisfied with, and commit the time to focusing on it. 'practice makes perfect' kinda rubs me the wrong way because of how much i've seen it interpreted as 'just draw everyday and you'll magically improve' but genuinely it won't get you very far if you don't actively think hard about what you're trying to improve and take the steps to do it. is this a hot take idk. also hand in hand with this, not every artist is trying to improve and you shouldn't feel bad for this! maybe you just wanna make a little headshot doodle of your fave blorbo and that's your only drawing goal ever. awesome. maybe you know your art has flaws but it's passable enough to convey what you want and you're perfectly satisfied with that. (this is the stage i'm usually at). also awesome!

don't hesitate to draw something because you think it's out of your skill level. the worst that can happen if you draw it is that it comes out terribly but you learned something and can always redraw it better in the future. the worst that WILL happen if you don't draw it is that you'll never draw it. and then it will sit in the back of your brain haunting you for years. it's not like i'm speaking from experience or anything aha

look up 'hand stretches for artists' and do them if you draw a lot unless you wish to summon the wrath of the carpal tunnel demons

of course, these may not necessarily work for you, and most importantly(!) these are coming from the perspective of someone who is primarily a hobbyist. some of this won't be practical for people who need to build an audience, maintain a consistent style for work, etc. these are just things that have personally helped me over many years of drawing :)

Starting Winter Arc

Winter Arc is from October to January and it is a way to be your very best and really show your potential.

What does this consist of?

Schedule - create a schedule that is very lenient but still productive. You do not want to be too lazy but also not too rigid. Give yourself some grace System - create a system about you. A system is a set of routines that you can switch onto depending the day. It is really a you thing and makes you work more efficiently, more smoothly, and productively. Mindset - Mindset is everything; motivation is temporary, mindset is forever. If you don't have discipline or a positive mindset you might not be able to work as hard as you should. There is days where you want to give up but you really got to push. You have to list more positives in life than negatives. In order to have a better mindset, you need to have a better self concept. In order to have a better self concept, you need self esteem. Lastly, in order to have a better self esteem, you need confidence. Confidence is key. Habits - You might have mindset, systems, and schedule but habits are what you might refer back to or fall back on on those slump days. That's not good- don't you think? We have to correct our habits and really evaluate ourselves. Winter arc is all about building good habits-- one I like is positive journaling or dumping my mind in a journal. I may have a lot of thoughts but I list both positive and negative things that my mind has. Also listening to your body and needing to stop. Cutting off people or taking a rest from socializing is totally fine-- especially if your mind needs it. We are all able to heal and some habits are meant to loss. Habits are built with our environment therefore we can correct them.

Self-actualization and self-achievement is great for us and especially students. Humans are meant to surpass their goals and reach to our full potential. We might be depressed or overwork but we are like machines. We were the original machines; we are an art that has to be maintain. Let's try to be our very best.

Introduction post:

Hi!! I'm starting this blog as a way to try to improve my art without pressure that I might feel on my main account. I don't mind what anyone calls me, Doodle is fine if you're really not sure, but I'm not using my regular name so this can't be connected to my main blog as easily

I will do art of pretty much any ask as long as I find it interesting!!! I wanna improve, so please don't be shy about sending asks, I love asks and they'll really help me be more motivated to draw :] (I can't promise very good quality, but hey, that's the point of learning!)

Fandoms I'm in and will likely make art for: -Hermitcraft/life SMP -DDVAU -Will Wood -TMA (I'm on s4 don't give me spoilers pls) -Wolf 359 -Portal

If someone asks for art of a fandom I'm not in, I may or may not do it, depending on how familiar I am with the fandom and how much I like the look of it lol :]

(I'll share my main blog after a while if I somehow manage to stay active and get any kind of following lol) (Pleasepleaseplease ask me stuff /nf I love asks and I never get them on my main lol)

[ask-the-rag-dolly]

hi! i’m currently making my own ask blog and was wondering if you had any tips abt literally anything? including art and stuff ^^’

trying to find my style but also find a style that i can easily draw over and over again

hi ! yeah i can give some tips

really the first thing of all is to Have Fun . i'm running this blog as i have always wanted to run an ask blog for a long time and thus have the energy and motivation to do so . really , ask blogs can be pretty demanding to run so just know if you're up for the challenge ... !

as for the art , it's fuckall really . what i loved about ask blogs back in the day is the variety of art styles i could find . it just depends on how frequently you want to update and the mood of the ask blog , really ! more sillier and character-based ask blogs have simpler art styles while story-based and elaborate ones have a more complex one - having colors and shading and all that

but Be Careful if you're going for the latter !! you might get burnt out and that's no good !! which is why i'll say you shouldn't feel pressure with updating often . ask blogs most of the time are comics , and comics take a while to draw . so take breaks if you can (: some ask blogs have an update schedule like actual webcomics and that's also another option .

and don't overdo it in the tags , like . don't put the characters that aren't in the post in the tags . it's both annoying and would get you blocked by a bunch of people . just put the main tags and character tags and you're done . i've since phased out the main tags as i've already have an audience for this thing . surprisingly .

and if you're running a story-based blog ... um ... ask blogs are very fickle . like think of this as a dnd campaign — you're not really in control , your players are . they might say or do something that will change the story's direction but may be even more interesting than what you have actually planned . basically do not expect things to go 100% as planned .

the only thing you have 100% control over really is the lore that your askers would uncover ! and that leads me to the next tip - how much power does your askers have ? are they just voices in the character's head guiding them or are they agents of chaos that can do literally anything ?

now . for the asks itself ... You Guys Don't Have To Follow My Way Of Doing It - which is just opening the asks and picking out the ones i feel like drawing . some ask blogs do an ' ask limit ' where they only allow a limited amount of asks before closing the inbox . which i think is good if you're not a fast artist like me

if you don't get a lot of asks , it's okay to ask your friends to drop some ! really , do it . it's a way for you to start posting and let people know it's active .

oh lord , long post ! but yeah here's my tips ... ! i love ask blogs so it's nice to see people make more (:

[buggyswritingcorner]

OMG just found you through your NSFW-alphabet for Aemond, could you please please do one for his brother as well?

heyy... heyyy.. uh i know this is.. two years.. late, im sorryyyy, i had sooo much stuff happen to me tho and i feel like now im finally ready to start writing again! thank you for this request! check out my

MASTERLIST

NSFW Aegon Targaryen

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Yees girl go give us ⋆✩nothing⋆✩, hahahah no it really depends on what your relationship with him is, i can't see him being overly loving and patient with someone who's a fleeting moment in his life, if he is in love with you tho (whether or not he realises it) he will do his utmost best to shower you with love, even after a hate fuck this puppy couldn't possibly with good consience let you go without a bit of love

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

he's quite insecure (shocking) so at first he had basically nothing, no part of him was entirely without flaw and he hated it, being with you and seeing how you look at him changed his mind and now he finds his shoulders and torso quite attractive (especially with your feet over his shoulders)

what he likes most on you differs every day, one day it's your eyes, the next your ass, he loves and longs for all of you

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

this dirty bitch, anywhere... anywhere

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

he definitely caught alicent and crispin doing it at least once.. did he enjoy it? debatable

he has many secrets, most of them dirty.. so yeah, he's probably even seen you naked many times before you courted officially, he has his ways..

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

he's always been very well versed in the art of sex, he fears nothing and is up to experiencing everything, so good luck with suprinsing him with something new.. if you do though, well just be prepared to not leave your room for some time, he loves new experiences

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

you on top, no arguments, on part because he's a little lazy, but also because he can see all of you that way, every curve, every sweet drip he'd like to lick up

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

he's a gooof, a silly boyy, cannot stay serious for the life of him bless this poor man he tried once and you laughed at him because he looked constipated, if you really want him serious tho.. that takes a lot of teasing the entire day, then at night he takes what he was promised in those foxy smirks flashed his wayy all day

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

no grooming, unless you ask for it, like really plead for it, i think he just also forgets and obviously on you he doesn't mind any hair, on the contrary i think it makes him more turned on because it feels 'animalistic' and raw

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

he can be romantic, he definitely uses his puppy eyes to his advantage and makes you take care of him haha

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

he knows he looks good and won't hesitate to show you too, so you walking into your shared chambers while he's lost in himself is quite common, and then he just flashes you a coy smirk and get louder the longer you ignore him

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

i fear... i may have to say this man has a mommy kink, or just a woman kink in general lol, he definitely searches for validation where he didn't recieve it, so you being able to praise him and make him feel loved is a biig YES

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Unlike his clean brother, this man is dirty as fuck and is down to do it just about anywhere. Is a never ending list really. He looks forward to taking you into the darkest alleyways of King´s Landing or underneath the stone table in the Sept of Baelor.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

once again, just you, there is nothing more ravishing than you in a pretty dress or tunic and a pair of pants, the lower the cut of the hem the better, he loves when you swoosh your hair around him, likes the wilder side of you more than the proper side

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

... i really tried to come up with something but i dunno, i feel like hes down for anything??

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

a master in giving, terrible at recieving, he wriggles and whines and tugs on your hair, wear a whole set of armor if you dont want scratch marks everywhere!! also be carefull this one bites

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

he's sloppy mostly, but at times when he sobers up in a moment of clarity he can rock your fuckin world, you'll be climbing the walls im tellin you

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

yes,yes,yes - aegon on quickies, he loves it, anywhere anytime, he'll srsly take you in an alleyway if you let him, so be carefull

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

once again i feel like he'd risk anything for that rush of adrenaline that he just longs for, he feels so bored and dead all the time that he wants to experience it all with you

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

if he's drinking? barely one, may even fall asleep on you. if he's sober? get ready for a ride till the sunrise, he takes his time and just kissing him may feel like only minutes passed when in reality you've been there for hours

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

i mean, you saw the damn dildo, thats all imma say, he a freak

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

oh he's such a little tease, but not in the way most would expect, he's not a very dominant boy, so he'll more likely tease you to make you jealous or to make you look at his neck and chest when his tunic get mysteriously untied in the wind

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

looud, get your chambers soundproofed please, for the sake of the children, he's grunting, moaning, whining, cursing and all in between, the more orgasms you give him the higher his voice goes in octaves, its a fun game to see how high the bird will sing

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

i think he likes getting spanked, something makes me believe he'd be begging for that sharp sting, be it his face, cock or ass, he'll take anything you'll give

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

average sized, pretty boy cock what can i say, curved with a very pink flush

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

he's a whore, but a whore with feelings, he's down to do it most of the time but sometimes you'll have to console the poor boy because he feels like he's too demanding, just make sure you kiss him and he's forgetting all about those pesky insecurities

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

after you're done, he's not even letting you get up to use the restroom, he grabs you and just won't let go until he's sound asleep, you make him feel safe and loved

Hope you enjoyed!!

REGAL BONES COMMISSION SHEET

ANIMATED MAGIC ITEMS: £100

Non animated, non coloured, and non shaded versions are available for a cheaper price! All payments through paypal. Items with moving parts (like the butterfly knife) may cost more as they can be more technically challenging. If you are planning on using your commission for a commercial use, there is a +50% commercial fee You can DM me here or on Twitter if you’d like to get in contact about a commission!

WAITING TIMES (PLEASE READ)

Thanks to the amazing support of my Patrons, I no longer need to do commissions to sustain myself for bare essentials like rent and food. But that means that I am now only working on commission work if I need extra money. This means that waiting times can be very long, and should be considered indefinite! Even when I was working on commissions as my full time job, waiting times were up to 11 months long! This is now going to increase, and if you aren’t already on the waiting list please factor a wait of at least 2 years. This kinda sucks, but as an artist I don’t really want to be working on commissions forever and being able to spend more time on my own work is very fulfilling! My commissions work on a waitlist system. Moving forward, if I am in a position where I need to work on commissions I will work slowly through my waiting list. If I message you and you are no longer financially in a place to work get something like this done, no stress! I’ll keep your spot at the top and anytime you have the money I can fit you into my schedule and get to work :)

If you are a patron of mine, please let me know when you are placing your order! As a patron you’ll skip half the waiting list ❤️

As of today (04/10/2023), my waiting list is 35 slots long!

That being said, I can be motivated with money! If you want your item here and now, I offer priority slots for £200 where I will drop everything and work on your item! I know that is a high price, but as mentioned I am very busy with my own projects! I am always focusing on making money so that I can make art - not the other way around. I only hold 3 priority slots at a time.

I also draw stuff besides magic items! Characters, creatures, environment work - check out my archive if that interests you! These prices can be negotiable depending on the project, but anything that isn’t an item starts pricing at £250

Thank you so much! This is a huge change in how my commissions work, and this level of creative freedom wouldn’t be possible without support from people who like my art, and especially my patrons! (You guys rock!!!) I hope you have a lovely day, and let’s make some fun stuff together

Psycho Analysis: Dee Vasquez

(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)

“Turnabout Samurai” was always a case I skipped on my replays, because when I originally played the game I found it to be a tedious filler case loaded with bland characters and little plot progression. On my most recent playthrough, though, I realized how wrong I was; while the case is overly long and does require some obnoxious backtracking, it’s honestly an extremely fun and funny case that really helps develop Miles Edgeworth and flesh him out as a character, which kind of makes me baffled at my initial perception of the case as pointless filler. This is no “Turnabout Big Top,” that’s for sure, and that’s all the more apparent when we uncover who the true killer is.

Dee Vasquez marks a true turning point in the killers I the franchise. Frank Sahwit and Redd White are certainly not out of place in the series, but they are both one-dimensional goofballs. Not Dee; she’s an incredibly three-dimensional villain with motivations that go beyond simple greed and an actual sympathetic motivation for her crime.

Motivation/Goals: Dee Vasquez is actually rather interesting in that her motivation for murder has one of the first twists in the series: She had no motive. The murder was an accidental one in self-defense, as the victim Jack Hammer had come to her with the intent to kill her. When he did so, she shoved him off the steps and impaled him on a fence—something Hammer himself had accidentally done to another actor five years prior.

It’s pretty interesting to think that there wouldn’t be another killing in self-defense until Spirit of Justice, and even then there’s a big twist to that too—but that’s a story for another time.

Breakdown: Fitting her terse and stoic personality, Vasquez actually has one of the single most understated breakdowns in the whole series, followed by her sadly and graciously accepting her defeat:

That really is it, and honestly, it's all she needs. Someone with her demeanor losing her composure for even a moment like that is pretty impressive.

Best Scene: Vasquez actually gets one of the most unique scenes in the franchise, as at the end of the third day of investigating she lures Maya and Phoenix into her trailer, where she proceeds to call upon her mafia goons in an attempt to “erase” them.

It’s pretty notable because the mafia goons actually get art here, and this is also the only time Vasquez’s mob connections are really brought up in any capacity as they aren’t mentioned during the trials, only getting briefly mentioned in discussions while investigating. It’s doubly notable because it gives Gumshoe one of his first “Big Damn Heroes” moments when he bursts in and saves our dynamic duo’s lives.

Final Thoughts & Score: Dee Vasquez is a really solid villain, and her case is where the series really grew the proverbial beard.

I think what’s most fascinating about her is how you only get some vague hinting at the relationships that surround the crime she committed, and the true nature of her relationship with Hammer is based entirely on hearsay from biased parties—can you trust what she says in regards to Hammer, considering she was blackmailing him and clearly had a great disdain for him for killing her possible lover? Can you trust Oldbag’s account of it being a tragic accident when she’s a Hammer superfan? It all makes her the sort of character where you can come up with multiple interpretations of her and have different levels of sympathy depending on how you view her actions. Like sure, it was in self-defense, but it becomes a lot less sympathetic if you see Hammer more as a victim of manipulation for something that wasn’t really his fault (although his willingness to frame his co-star Will Power out of petty jealousy certainly doesn’t make him look very good).

Helping this is just how grounded and low-key she is. She doesn’t really get wild, over-the-top reactions like some of the other killers, and while that may seem like a detriment in a series as silly as this, it actually makes her stand out a lot more especially with how later villains would become even more wild and wacky. It also helps build her up as a genuinely formidable opponent in court, and she’s actually a pretty tough egg to crack when you get her on the stand.

While I’m not going to pretend like she’s the greatest, most complex, or most tragic of all the villains (how can she be when characters like Ini Miney, Geiru Toneido, or Acro are around?) but for a first attempt at a more complex villain that isn’t just killing for the money, she’s a really solid one. A nice solid 7.5/10, I’d say. I think really her biggest problem is that the case immediately following hers features perhaps the single most sympathetic murderer in the original trilogy, as well as another stoic hardass villain who has a far more glorious breakdown, which leaves her being a bit overshadowed. Still, for what she is, she's a remarkably solid villain.
