Capricorn moon (me)

Helene in detriment

Wait Mercury in 5h Aries happened and I spent thirty minutes journalling about my baby names, how I’ve got them all figured out! Mercury is retrograding on 28* Leo btw. The thing about 4-7* Aries…………..

…well, if you have to ask, you’ll never know. Clearly haven’t been paying attention! God am I mysterious or just high?

Anyway. Capricorn moon, euhhh… oh yes. We experience our emotions with the same intensity as a Cancer, 180* away. Cardinal water, cardinal earth; “opposition” implies distinction, but these signs exist on a thematic axis. It is not so much that we Capricorn moons are unfeeling, cold, logical creatures — we feel so intensely and deeply that it hurts and the smarter more practical thing, for our own self-protection, is to get over it. Suppress and succeed.

Henry is going to be a dad.

Hi, if that's a prompt/ idea, I like it and should write about it.

If it's an announcement, my heart just broke a little.

If/when I open this app and don't feel a surge of anxiety, I promise this will be something I'll write about.

In the meantime, have you read "The Stubborn Mr. Cavill" ? You might enjoy it.

If you have, thank you!

It warmed my heart knowing someone still wants to read what I write. Thank you! 💜

My first real experience with Hermes really does dictate the infinitely more out there way I view him (and many other gods) typically. It's more rare if they have a face or definable features and composition like that of a human. Whether that's faceless/infinite-faced Aphrodite, composed entirely of light (Apollon, Hermes, Maia) or peaking out from clothes that nearly completely cover them (Leto, Hestia), or those the essence of space with stars/planetary bodies throughout and/or darkness itself (also Hermes and Maia, plus Hekate and Ereshkigal). It says what it needs to, that gods show up however they want to either by our expectations benefitting us or by giving them the freedom to go for whatever they feel like or are representing at the moment. (The latter is my own personal leaning, the expectation, and understanding of the infinite). Not to mention the sight of star-studded Hermes is quite the sight to behold.

I dislike the inclusion of a lot of modern Queer Rep Terminology in spec fic (fantasy more than sci fi) on basically aesthetic grounds. But also on to be slightly more principled about it, I feel like forcing the writers to actually describe their characters' identities and sexualities without recourse to a labelled bucket they can just slap and say 'yknow, this!' would be very artistically fruitful.

yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic

i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all

time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'

and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't

was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?

there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest

but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.

we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.

and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.

it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

I want to exorcise the demons from your past

I take it back, I'm embracing how suggestive this looks. Have a final lineart WIP in case the colouring and shading take ages. Pure lineart without the greys below.

If you want context, this illustration depicts a scene taking place towards the end of this story I'm working on. Unfortunately, i haven't had time to work on it the past two months... Which is a shame, because I want to have the three chapters lined up before sharing it, since each one will be quite long. We're 17k words in, so I believe the fic will be around 30k total. I wanna share it so badddd

If jayce had looked, probably
