"Destabilization" New Moon January 2024 Astro-Education Forecast

This coming New Moon & month will destabilize us a bit to re-orient on our ideal path, while opening us up to flashes of insight & connection with Galactic Truth. Written for all levels to learn something! #january2024astrology #astrologyforecast #newmoon

New Moon Horoscope (January 11, 11:57 GMT) Happy New Year to everyone who lives on Earth, whether you use the Gregorian Calendar or not (we also had the Winter Solstice which marks the beginning of the Solar Year)! This is the first Lunation (moon-event) of 2024, and it looks like this month is going to feel a bit wobbly (more on that word later) while we are prepared for continuing changes on…

Hello Dancingpaw! Would you like to have an apprentice friend anytime or would you rather be a warrior and don’t care? Since you know training with a cat the same age as you is fun?

bh!Eclipse "asked to reach the top shelf" meets "can't reach the lowest cupboards without folding like a paperclip" - @clxckwork-sun-n-moon

Yeah, I mean, there's a reason SI is laughing here after Eclipse "gets on his level" - man's too tall, he'd need to lie down to get close

But shenanigans are so very fun, so:

Why The Doctor Ran Away

We can construct a surprisingly consistent narrative on this topic given what little has been revealed over the years. I'll be sticking mainly to TV, although I'll mention some expanded material towards the end.

In Heaven Sent, Twelve claims to have been scared:

DOCTOR: I was scared! I ran because I was scared! Is that what you want me to say? Is that true enough for you?

Which presumably ties to this little speech later in that same episode:

DOCTOR: Long before the Time War, the Time Lords knew it was coming, like a storm on the wind. There were many prophecies and stories, legends before the fact. One of them was about a creature called the Hybrid. Half Dalek, half Time Lord, the ultimate warrior. But whose side would it be on? Would it bring peace or destruction? Was it real, or a fantasy? I confess, I know the Hybrid is real. I know where it is, and what it is. I confess, I'm afraid.

And in Hell Bent, we have this interaction with Clara:

DOCTOR: Ah, no, he didn't tell anyone anything. He went completely mad. Never right in the head again, so they say. CLARA: Okay, that's encouraging. DOCTOR: The last I heard, he stole the moon and the President's wife. CLARA: Was she er… was she nice, the President's wife? DOCTOR: Ah, well, that was a lie put about by the Shabogans. It was the President's daughter. I didn't steal the moon, I lost it. CLARA: I'd know you anywhere.

A bit later, Ashildr has this to say on the topic:

ASHILDR: You were barely more than a child. You broke in here and the Wraiths spoke to you about the Hybrid. Why did that story make you so scared?

In Twice Upon A Time, the First Doctor claims that "There were many pressing reasons" to leave Gallifrey. He also talks about good and evil:

DOCTOR 1: There is good and there is evil. I left Gallifrey to answer a question of my own. By any analysis, evil should always win. Good is not a practical survival strategy. It requires loyalty, self-sacrifice and er, love. So, why does good prevail? What keeps the balance between good and evil in this appalling universe? Is there some kind of logic? Some mysterious force?

In The Five Doctors, Tegan and Five have this scene:

TEGAN: You mean you're deliberately choosing to go on the run from your own people in a rackety old Tardis? DOCTOR 5: Why not? After all, that's how it all started.

And then there's these choice bits of expanded material:

In the novel Beltempest, Eight claims to have left his home because he "disagreed with the philosophy of its Masters".

In the novel World Game, Two said that he grew tired of "the deviousness and corruption of Time Lord politics".

In the audio story Prisoners of Fate, Five says that he had little time, and just needed to get the first Tardis he lay his hands on.

And then comes Remembrance Of The Daleks, and it all falls into place.

I propose that the story goes something like this:

One of the Doctor's children (Susan's parent) was president of Gallifrey, and intended to use the Hand Of Omega for some reason. Given Eight and Two's statements, this may have been a matter of political corruption. This was a largely popular decision amongst the Time Lords, although the Doctor strongly disagreed with the idea, although their concerns were ignored.

And so, the Doctor did something tremendously stupid (as they often do): they stole the Hand Of Omega in an attempt to stop the Time Lords from utilising it. Along the way, they also took Susan with them, possibly fearing that she'd be used as a bargaining chip against them, or simply knowing that she would suffer/was suffering on Gallifrey without the Doctor to shield her/comfort her/etc.

Now, this was not entirely a spur of the moment decision. The Doctor had been debating leaving Gallifrey for some time now. Both due to knowledge about the Hybrid that they'd learned from the Sliders in the Matrix Database during their youth, but also due to a growing curiousity concerning the nature of good and evil.

Given that the Sixth Doctor would call out the Time Lords for being "Degenerate! Decadent! And rotten to the core!" during his trial, I think it's a safe bet that while they maybe didn't include the Time Lords on the side of "evil", they almost certainly were not counted amongst the "good" either. So if the Time Lords weren't ensuring that evil did not overcome good in the universe, who or what was doing so?

And so the Doctor - fearing for Hybrid that lurked in the future, fearing for Susan's safety, fearing for what the Time Lords would do with the Hand Of Omega - stole a Tardis and ran away.

Also at some point during this mess, the Doctor "lost the moon"? Not entirely sure what that means or how that happened, but apparently it did.

I was thinking that if the iterators are wobbledogs the slugcats would be their plushie companions

[papeldelbano]

do you know how long it took me to finally realize that the Silence's TARDIS from series 5's The Lodger is the TARDIS from series 6 episode 2 Day of the Moon, because Day of the Moon takes place in the sixties so that story's already happened and the Silence's TARDIS just ends up in that apartment because there's no one to pilot it anymore. The story takes place before AND after Day of the Moon.

okay well to clarify i know it was their tardis but like, the connection between the two episodes, i was confused like but how the fuck did it get there....i might be slow

Happy full moon! This is my first ever finished animation; my goal was to finish it within a week, which I did! I thought it best to start with something simple, so that I’ll know more when I work on my more ambitious projects.

[Image Description: A short, 2D animated video of a simplistic, slightly wobbling moon going from full to new to back again, with stars in the background. On the third cycle, the waning moon has an inhuman face behind it, with red eyes and sharp teeth. The face is the only thing in the animation that does not wobble slightly as the frames change. End ID]

Just a forewarning I am going to be absolutely unhinged the next couple of days because I am on VACATION for the first time in a long time. There will be stupid polls! Wild Essek conjecture! Shitposting! Silly prompt drawings! None of this is new of course and ((SPOILERS)) it has already begun so this isn't a forewarning at all, gotcha, etc. Vacation!!!!

Ubuyashiki Family (Magical Slayers ✨)

It’s mostly Kagaya but I mention Amane too.

Ok long story short Kagaya is mansplain manipulate manslaughter. I made him similar to Kyubey from Magica Madoka. In the sense he has good intentions, but very underhanded ways of getting people to join the Corps.

He is Entirely fed up with the (lack of) progress of the Corps. He wouldn’t call all the efforts pointless, however losing several dozen (or hundred?) Hashira and hardly killing any Upper Moons (and no signs of Muzan since Yoriichi’s era) is very much a Net Loss.

He’s tired and ready to end this war by any means necessary, even if it means forcing people into becoming slayers. (The fact this man has foresight just makes his goal a little easier and a little scarier.)

I can make an excellent example of the lengths he’s willing to go with the Tokito twins.

Kagaya did not take kindly when Amane reported that Yuichiro shut down the offer every time. He is not above lighting a fire under them to get them moving, and by fire I mean a demon sent to their house as an “incentive” to join. By showing them what they’re at risk of if they don’t join first.

We all know how it happens in canon: Yuichiro repeatedly denies Amane, weeks later the demon attacks, suddenly Amane returns days(?) later and Muichiro decides “why not” to join the Corps.

This lines up perfectly for my au :D

After the repeated rejections, Kagaya pulls some strings to stage a demon attack. It’s not really staged/fake since the demon does try to take out the twins, but it was planned by Kagaya. As an extra part of the plan, there was supposed to be another slayer to deal with that demon to ensure the twins survived. They’d be scarred, but alive and (hopefully) open to becoming Slayers.

Things didn't go as planned and the assigned Slayer doesn’t make it on time, leaving Muichiro to take things in his own hands after Yuichiro gets attacked. Yuichiro only loses a chunk of his arm, it’s still a lot but not half his arm like canon. He’s able to wrap the wound (and pass out) while Muichiro deals with the demon all night.

Kagaya and Amane actually visit them around noon the next day and happen upon them barely alive. Yuichiro is worse off than his brother and praying for Muichiro to live. Kagaya tells the boys they don’t need the aid of the gods who struck them, he himself will help, and in return they’ll do something (become slayers) for him.

(Kagaya was relieved when this worked. He may be cruel enough to do it but he doesn’t want to kill them. They wouldn’t be useful to him if that happened)

This also means Yuichiro lives.

The bright side is he doesn’t do this with every slayer I guess? He does have an interesting habit of showing up soon after demon attacks to offer the survivor a new life within the Corps. In their freshly traumatized minds all they see is a hand reaching out to help, and not knowing any better they accept.

This is a good time to mention, he is still cursed so he eventually has Amane visit the possible-slayers in his stead, bring them to the estate should they agree to join and uhhh..

Rip their soul out of their body, infuse it into a special brooch, give it back to them & point them in the direction of a cultivator.

anyway don’t worry about that part. Kagaya certainly doesn’t, and he tells the newly-made Magical Slayer not to worry either.

Who cares if you’re basically a zombie now? If your body is injured it’s fine, it’ll just take extra time and magic to regenerate. (Like,,some hours with lots of focus. Maybe just an hour or so for Hashira. Their healing abilities may be good, but they’re not ‘instant regeneration’ good like the 12 kizuki)

He actually doesn’t even tell them they’ve become a zombie. Normally the head of the Corps is supposed to lay down everything that becoming a slayer means, and then the person can make the choice to join or not. Obviously learning you’ll become a zombie is a bit of a turn-off, so Kagaya has just stopped telling his slayers the awful details.

Why do that when it’ll scare them off? It’s more beneficial for him to not say anything and keep them in the dark.

Also I’d like to mention, In canon Kagaya gives respect and gets it in return.

Here though? The Hashiras respect for him is built from fear. Everyone else is able to see, “ohh there’s something wrong with this guy. Better not piss him off.” And try their damn best not to.

Except Sanemi at his first Pillar meeting. 🪦
