🧜🏾‍♀️ SIRENE (1009): Top 3 Sex Symbols! 💋

SIREN: A seductively beautiful or charming woman, especially one who beguiles men; A woman who is a very attractive but dangerous temptress. 🔥🔥

The Sirene (1009) asteroid is one of my absolute favorites to explore. 🧜🏾‍♀️ And I have many! Its placement in a woman's chart tells us about her brand of Dark Femininity. How she seduces and influences. How she harnesses her power and the TYPES of men who are helplessly drawn to her. 💋 Every Sign has incredible qualities! I'm simply sharing my Top 3 Sirens based on the research I've done. So enjoy and share your Siren below!

**FYI - Men with these placements are also very sexy and captivating in their own way. 💯 So I will include some famous examples for them as well.

SCORPIO SIRENS lure you in with their hypnotic eyes that are as deep as the Blue Sea. 🧜🏾‍♀️ Their powerful aura will quickly swallow you whole and you will enjoy every moment of it. 💋 They effortlessly captivate and are explosive Lovers! They love to keep you guessing. As they know, you'll be addicted to the mystery of it all and keep coming back for more. And they're right! Just like Monica Bellucci and Lana Del Rey - these women can casually sit somewhere, smoking a cigarette, and *everyone* around them is watching in total ENVY of that damn cigarette. 🔥 Others like Lisa Bonet and Sade are gentle and ethereal but they will *still* snatch your SOUL. The Male Sirens are charismatic heartthrobs who make panties drop everywhere they roam. Women submit to them with glee. They want their 'Notebook' moment with Ryan Gosling, okay! And for The Rock to lay the smackdown (and pipe) on their kitty. 😺 And nothing less.

CAPRICORN SIRENS lure you in with their deeply earthy, erotic energy. They are smoldering volcanoes underneath their cool IDGAF exterior and this enticing contrast drives people wild! 🔥 They have monstrous sex drives yet are very grounded in their personal power and selective about who they entertain, so others seek their approval. The Female Sirens often attract highly influential and/or dominant men who crave her submission and loyalty. Their desire to control her can truly consume them! 💯 They see her as the Ultimate Challenge and want her AT ALL COSTS. Their results vary depending upon what *she* actually wants. For instance, Amal Clooney. She was able to capture the heart of life-long bachelor George Clooney with impeccable ease. 🩷 He looks at her with stars in his eyes! They have the ideal marriage. Mariah Carey ultimately made Tommy Matola (the Record Executive who signed her to his label) wait until they were married before being intimate with him. She had such an effect on her ex-husband after **opening her luscious Pearly Gates** 🙌 that he put cameras up around the house to watch her every move. He was utterly obsessed with her! Amber Heard is an example of Capricorn Siren in full Destruction Mode. And Karrine "Superhead" Steffans in literal Maneater Mode slurping her way to THE TOP. The Male Sirens simply have Big Dick Energy - period. They are Doms, Bosses and Kings. 👑 Women yearn for them to (symbolically) suck their blood and their p***y like Robert Pattinson in 'Twilight' with carnivorous passion. 🔥 They want to surrender doggystyle to a man like Gerard Butler in the '300' movie. And even when they are stone cold killers like Suge Knight or manipulative pimps like Andrew Tate... they still command respect! They possess massive amounts of Masculine charm.

Siren in Sagitarius 👠

Famous Women:

Marilyn Monroe (pictured above)

Dorothy Dandridge (pictured above)

Rita Hayworth (pictured above)

Shakira (pictured above)

Indira Varma (pictured above)

Shia LaBeouf

Michele Marrone

Marvin Gaye

SAGITTARIUS SIRENS lure you in like smoke rising from a bonfire in an enchanted forest during a Drum Circle. They illuminate dangerous levels of heat. ☀️ That will melt you like hot lava with their dynamic sex appeal. Baddies to the bone! Their esthetic widely appeals to the masses and individuals from *all* walks of life. People from *all* ethnic backgrounds admire and lust after them. 💋 They are exciting and make people feel ALIVE. And they're often the epitome of someone's Dream Girl or Guy. Marilyn Monroe is a FOREVER Icon who lives on generation after generation. 🌟 And her Feminine prowess remains unmatched no matter how much time goes by. Rita Hayworth is another immortal Sex Symbol and proud Latina. As is Dorothy Dandridge - who broke many barriers for Black Women in film and greatly appealed to a variety of powerful men such as Marlon Brando and Otto Priminger. Margot Robbie in the 'Wolf of Wallstreet' and 'Barbie' movies? 🩷 Nuff said! The Male Sirens are usually a strong yet suave bunch - like Clark Gable and Patrick Swayze. And that's a killer combination, my friends! They are often Rebels. 💪 Whether clean-cut ones like Paul Walker, goth ones like Marilyn Manson or rebels GONE WRONG like Shia LaBeouf. Either way, they are magnetic.

~♡~♡~♡~♡~

And that's a wrap for now! 💛 I'll be back soon with more on SIREN and other awesome asteroids. Thanks for reading.

A Sweet Night for All

Chapter Five of This is the Neighborhood Din Series

Din Djarin x Sierra Harris (plus size OFC)

My entire masterlist and blog are for readers 18+ MDNI. I do not consent to my work being used in AI, borrowed or plagiarized.

Word Count: about 2.5k

Warnings:

Summary: Nosy friends show up and get a surprise from a Jedi. Din and Sierra come to an understanding. There's cuteness from Johnnie Mae and Luke because I wanted it. ☺️

Notes: This chapter is very fluffy. I dunno what happened but I like it. 🤗

Main Masterlist/Din Djarin Masterlist/ AO3 Link

The two of them entered Djarin's home unaware they were being watched.

“I just want you two fools to know that despite this being a horrible idea to spy on him you two each owe me fifty dollars.” Finn displays all his pearly whites with the shit-eating grin he has from the back seat of Poe’s 4Runner - ‘the most conspicuous SUV known to man’ as Finn calls it not because of the make or model, but because Poe insisted on painting it orange and white. It is his BB-8. Finn held his hands out as both Rey and Poe slipped money on his palms. “Who’s the woman though?”

“Her name’s Sierra. She texted him during work today. I thought he only checked his phone for emails about his son Grogu.” Rey shrugged, she was mad she was out fifty bucks, but this was entertaining and something to tease their team leader about tomorrow. So far, they’d only been able to sort of make fun of Din's lunches, but sometimes they smelled really good.

“I mean other than when you set him up with those DILF hunters, we haven’t seen him with anyone. She seems nice and he even did like a Romeo type thing on the porch there. Didn’t know he had any game.” Poe nods and Fin flicks the back of his head, the pilot rubs it and laughs.

A metal knock startled the three in the car. A man with an overgrown beard and a green beam stuck out of the top of it. “Hey. Your truck stands out way too much and I’ve never seen it here. What are you doing out in front of this house? Count of three numbnuts.” Poe looked closer at him and noted that one of his hands was metal, what kind of weird ass neighbor was this man.

The trio looked at each other and waved their hands, “No! No!” Poe decided to speak for the group. “Look we know Din okay! We’re gonna go, we had a bet that Sierra was a parent from his kid’s school or a team leader from another department. Clearly not.” Luke squinted his eyes.

“Drive now.”

“Yup, don’t have to tell us!” Poe started BB-8 and drove off. Watching as Luke’s eyes appeared to meet his in the rear view mirror. “How does he live near someone so creepy?!”

“And how does he know Din or Sierra?”

“I’m not finding out.” Rey huffed, this trip was a bust. She didn’t win any money and she was threatened by an old Jedi. This sucks.

Luke stood in the middle of the street, putting away his lightsaber as he scratched his beard. “What kind of strange people does the new kid work with? I know Mae said he seems alright, but…eh. Scared them off. I'll check in with Mae and the little one. I'm curious what they had for dinner.” The Jedi saunters up to Johnnie Mae's door and knocks. She doesn't answer at first so he knocks again and she appears wearing a white cotton nightgown with a black silk nightgown. Her finger is over her lips as she steps back from the door and curls it to beckon him inside. A kiss is shared between the two and she takes his hand to lead him to the couch. They sit and she speaks softly.

“Don't get in your head that you're having anything other than a hearty meal Skywalker.” Johnnie tugs on his beard. He places his cool hand on her thigh and runs his thumb along her skin. She points to the large chair next to the couch where little Grogu sleeps under a throw blanket. He'd fallen asleep waiting for his father to come get him. Luke nods and pecks Johnnie Mae's cheek.

“Only came to see what you had for dinner. Honest. Also saw some coworkers of the kid's dad outside. Weird bunch. Drove them off.” It's stated matter of factly causing the older woman to shake her head and stand up.

“I'll fix you a plate. It was mainly Sierra cooking for her new friend.” Luke follows her as she heats some food up for him and they sit at the table. They're comfortable, speaking in lowered volumes to not disturb the young boy. The hour has gotten late.

Meanwhile in Din's home:

Her host had put away the leftovers and made her some hot chocolate after giving her a short tour of the first level of the house. Sierra could tell that Din was proud, he mentioned it was his first home and was excited to be able to provide a safe place for Grogu to grow up. “I don't want him looking over his shoulder or wondering if he'll need to move anywhere.” She took this to mean that maybe there was a point where either Grogu or maybe Din had that fear. Pausing as he brought her back to the living room after showing her his office, kitchen, dining room, den, a half bath off of the den and a mud/laundry room. It made her think of how happy she'd been when she left her husband up until a few days ago when he showed up. The feeling that she was safe and could go to sleep without questioning if she'll be physically hurt or insulted. Din took Sierra's hand which made her look up at him, pulling her out of her daze. “I didn't mean to bring up-”

“Please don't apologize. Don't feel you have to dance around things you want to say because you think it reminds me of what happened. Plus now I'm curious what life was like for you and Grogu before moving here. I'll let you know if I'm okay or not Din.” They sit on the couch and continue holding hands as he describes to her the apartments he used to live in, back before he became a team leader with the bump in pay.

They weren't bad in terms of cleanliness or code violations, it was more so the activity in the neighborhood and violence which is why he moved out here to the suburbs. Din explained that it wasn't all the community, it was him too. In his younger days, before Grogu was born, Din ran with the Death Watch and participated in unsavory activities. He'd had a long-term girlfriend who enjoyed the lifestyle and drama. When she became pregnant, he focused on actually going back to school to get his degree in mechanical engineering. A subject that had long interested him but wasn't exactly a part of culture. It was when he was in school that she became distant and even after giving birth, didn't really interact with little Grogu much. At the time, Din thought she was just too wrapped up in what the Death Watch had going on at the time. It was only later, in raising Grogu over the years that he came to know what postpartum depression was. No one either of them knew really talked about any of that. In his exit from the Watch, his back tattoo with their symbol of a mythosaur had three horizontal red lines added through it. They represented tasks the Armorer had him complete before he could sever ties with them on friendly terms. Din was surprised when his former members offered financial help with him getting settled in a new place with Grogu. He still spoke to a few of them occasionally, even Paz, who he was sure the disdain between them was mutual, gave him parenting tips.

Sierra listened intently and wondered what she really knew about her friends and family, especially ones she wasn't particularly close to. Could they have backgrounds with twists and turns similar to his that led them to where they are today? Would they feel comfortable telling her? “You're the first person I've told all that to in a long time. Generally, I don't feel comfortable talking about myself this much.” She didn't mean to, his admission made her scoot closer to him and place her palm on his cheek. Her eyes and smile conveyed the same message her lips did.

“Thank you for trusting me with this Din.”

His larger hand covers hers as he closes his eyes. It’s been even longer since he last heard someone saying that they trusted him. The moment feels intimate and Din allows the corners of his mouth to form a small smile. With his eyes focused on her lips, that’s where he touches with his opposite hand tracing her full lips with his thumb. He knows, just knows that all of her is soft like this. Her brows furrow and with her lips parting, Din wonders if he’s exposed too much, not only through his words but his touch too. “Sierra, you’ve trusted me a great deal as well.” He recalls a few days ago when they met, their hug and conversation in the kitchen of her aunt’s home. She was under no obligation to tell him anything, but she was honest and vulnerable.

“I know. This is something, but can we just sit Din?” Dropping her chin, the science teacher placed her forehead on Djarin’s shoulder, lowering both her hands as he grabbed them. Looking up temporarily, she knows she'll be fine. Contact with Din isn’t to be feared. Sierra finds it welcome, she wants more but her mind is holding her back. Realistically it’s been plenty of time some would say, but they’re not her. She scoots back to ease her spine into the cushions on the couch but Din’s hand braces her back and his other arm gathers the hem of her dress under her knees as he shifts them over his legs and pulls her closer. “Um, are you sure-“

“It’s fine. I’ve got you. Relax and sit.” Sierra might not be resisting so hard if Din didn’t appear to be saying and doing all the right things. His forearm is now supporting her upper back while his palm is at the base of her neck. His fingers are scratching her scalp and he chuckles when she releases a quiet sigh. “Feels good doesn’t it?”

A gentle thump to Din's chest is the answer Sierra gives him, he’s wrong in a sense. It feels perfect and she wants nothing more than to stay like this. “Yes it does.” Finally relenting they remain cuddled together on the couch for at least half an hour, maybe longer. Neither of them were sure. It was serene. Nothing pressing or urgent. No interruptions, the two of them could just exist together.

Din had to wake her up to not only walk her home but to pick up his son who was likely sleeping as well. Watching Sierra walk in front of him with wobbly legs, gave him many ideas, ones that he was unaware that Sierra shared similar ideas.

At Johnnie Mae’s home, they were met with the sight of Luke sipping lemonade as he and Mae were watching ‘Law & Order: The Force Beckons.’

“Hey Sierra. Nice to meet you little G’s dad. I’m Luke from across the street. Old friend of Mae’s here. Kept our girl out late did you?” His graveled voice greets the pair as they step in and remove their shoes. Johnnie Mae is holding hands with Luke as Grogo sleeps opposite them soundly. Din’s taken aback for a moment. It registered that this is the man who lives across the street and is Ms. Harris’ gentleman friend. The same one who’d given his son a gift and them an interesting dinner conversation. Sierra wasn’t phased at seeing them together so it’s clear this isn’t new.

“Did you have a good plate of food Mr. Skywalker?” Sierra asks, her grin says she’s amused because she finds her aunt and her ‘gentleman friend’ for at least ten years cute. Luke stands and pats her shoulder before giving her a hug.

“Yeah. Your aunt always treats me well. You know that. How have you been kiddo?” He asks when he releases her from the embrace and holds her upper arms, careful not to touch below her elbows.

“Life sucked. But now it’s better, took time like many things. I adapted.” The affirmative grunt Luke gives has him leave it alone and turn to Din. Offering his hand, the single father takes it and gives the Jedi a firm handshake.

The two men keep eye contact during their greeting. Ending their stand-off, hands at their sides, they nodded to each other. An understanding was made between them. The unspoken promise had Luke step aside as Din spotted his son asleep in the chair across the room.

“Thanks.” Din gives a small nod to Skywalker before making his way across the room to scoop his son in his arms. Grogo stirs and looks up at his father, his eyes heavy from sleep. He smiles before drifting back off.

“Little G’s a good kid. Might have something to do with his father.” Luke plops back down on the couch next to Johnnie Mae with Din giving the grizzled man a small chuckle.

“I know. He's that best. We're going to head out, it's pretty late. Thank you Ms. Harris for dinner earlier and to you both for keeping an eye on him tonight.” Johnnie Mae waves him off and stands up to give Din a side hug to not disturb Grogu's slumber. The father walked slowly to the door and Sierra opened it for him, he had his hands full of important cargo afterall. Luke and Ms. Harris left the living room, opting to give the two some privacy. “Good night Sierra.”

Din’s eyes are warm as he watches Sierra’s face, “Good night Din. Ah,” Hesitating at first, she allows her fingers to glide up his forearm. He doesn’t pull away and instead remains still, appreciating her touch. “I-I’d like to speak to you tomorrow during lunch when you have time. Nothing important or anything just to-” His lips find her forehead and she pauses with a gasp.

“Just to talk. Trust me, I’ll have time Sierra. Good night and sleep well. I have to get this one home and tucked into bed.” His eyes linger on her as he steps out of the door, Din only looks forward to keep from tripping down the porch or the stairs. He has responsibilities and he can’t stay as much as he would like, looking back a final time before starting across the yard back to his home, she’s standing in the doorway, illuminated and waving at him with a smile.

Djarin feels a pang of languish while he enters his home and puts little Grogu to bed. He’s always been thankful for his son, his adorable menace, but maybe sometimes he would like someone beside him who he didn’t have to sing Spongebob to or Bluey. His large palm pats Grogu’s head and bats his curls a bit, he goes to take a shower and settles into his own bed, already excited about his lunch break tomorrow

Little Duck & Momma’s Beach Day Headcannon 🐣

pairing: Female Reader (Momma Evans) x Arlie Mae

summary: In desperate need for a girls day, you and Arlie head to the beach while Chris and Wes spend some time together at the rental home waiting for the arrival of his family and yours

warnings: none i don’t think

a/n: i’ve not written for little duck recently so I wanted to get a little headcannon out before my 10hr drive home tomorrow! I’ll be back to writing full fics soon, thank you for all the love on all my work🤍

The Bahama sun was treating your little family well, helping you heal and slowly but surely get better mentally and physically. Chris’s family and some of yours were supposed to be coming in today which was exciting to think about

Chris had told you and Arlie this morning to head down to the beach for a girls day while he and Wesley hung out at the rental home to wait for everyone which is where you both where

You had two chairs pressed side by side, umbrellas up and a cooler with drinks and snacks, little Arlie dressed in a cute strawberry bathing suit, a pink hat on her head

“Momma we collect some seashells for daddy and Wes?”

You smiled looking at her

“Of course we can baby, should we go for a walk and get some, can I put some sunscreen on you?”

Arlie nodded coming over and you began to coat her arms and legs with the coconut smelling SPF 80

“Momma?”

“Yes my love?”

She turned around to look at you so you could put some sunscreen on her face

“You and daddy gonna be okay?”

You furrowed your brows, closing the cap on the sunscreen before holding her cheeks gently

“What do you mean baby?”

“Daddy said you feelin’ sad, and I don’t want you and daddy to spit’ up”

You felt your heart clench tightly in your chest, she’d been so worried about you and Chris recently, you two had been okay, but your mental health had made you more reserved and so you and Chris hadn’t been as lovey dovey as usual

“Oh Arlie, we’re not splitting up honey, momma’s just been a bit sad so i’ve been getting lots of rest, I love your daddy more than anything in the world”

“you ‘pomise momma?”

You held your pinky finger out so she could loop it with yours

“I promise my love, now how bout we go get some shells?”

Arlie smiled and you both headed down the beach, finding shells of all different shapes and colours, truth be told it felt nice to get out and about just the two of you. Arlie was telling you stories and making little jokes as you two collected seashells, spending time with your little girl who was not so little anymore

“This for you momma!”

You snapped out of your daze, looking down at Arlie who was holding up a pink and white pearly covered shell

“Wow this is so beautiful baby, thank you!”

“Just like you momma, cause you the most beautiful momma in the world”

Pouting gently you leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead

“I love you so much Arlie Mae”

“I love you too momma”

Arlie never failed to fill your heart with love and warmth, she helped you see the best in the world and you would do the same for her in a heartbeat. She was your little sidekick and no matter what life threw your way, she’d help you get through it all, starting with a little pink seashell🐚🌸

"You cannot betray someone you were never loyal to."

"Then you would deny the man who treats you like a goddess among mere mortals?"

"You treat me like a pet! With your jewelled collars, and rules I must obey! Nothing more than a toy for you to show off.

"If you wish to act like a dog, then I suppose I could treat you like one. You truly have been such a naughty girl lately, I suppose spanks could fix that. Now, are you going to behave? Or must I drag you over here?"

"Yes, sir"

"Good girl. Now, tell me, did someone come to the house today, while I was gone?"

"...yes"

"Did ya talk to them?"

"......They needed directions and they weren't leaving unless I told them, they saw me through the window, I tried to hide promise!"

"It's okay pumpkin, I'm proud you told me the truth. But we have these rules for a reason, what if they tried to take you away from me huh? We don't want another junior deputy situation on our hands...do we?"

"No, sir"

"atta girl.....flip that dress for me and bend over the table. I think thirty will do"

Top 5 Canonical Pansexual Characters

So I recently made a post about why one of my all time favourite characters Mae Borowski from Night in the Woods is amazing pansexual representation and how the way her feelings are portrayed felt very accurate to my own. In that post I also said that there isn't enough pan rep, which is true and to prove my point I made a list of the only 5 undeniably canon pansexual characters I know of also 2 of them are from Steven Universe which is almost cheating to pull examples from. This is my ranking of all 5 of those characters based on how good they are as rep because I thought this would be a fun list to make and it's still Pride Month so yeah.

5. Willow Park (the Owl House)

So the Owl House is my favourite thing out of all the things mentioned on this list and Willow is my second favourite character here overall, but the way her being pan is handled is non existent in the show. There is nothing that even hints at it and Dana Terrace only announcing after the show seems disingenuous. I'm not too mad because the show already has plenty of queer rep that is fleshed out and sincere, but in the case of Willow it feels like Dana trying to retroactively cover all her basis. Besides this Willow is still a great character though, very likable, plant magic is cool and she has a great arc of finding her confidence and following her passion for sports.

4. Rose Quartz (Steven Universe)

An incredibly complex character that people with no media literacy love to hate. The idea that you witness her redemption character arc in reverse and how you only have word of mouth and flashbacks to go off of because she's actually dead throughout the whole show is kind of genius. As pan rep though, her orientation is left pretty vague. Like we know that she loved Greg and that Pearl loved her but whether Rose reciprocated Pearl's feelings is never answered. It's implied that she might have been polyamorous with a bunch of people and that it included Pearl but then Rose decided that she want a monogamous relationship with Greg and that's why Pearly became jealous of him. But again this is never explored beyond very vague hints.

3. Sadie Miller (Steven Universe)

Most likeable human character from Steven Universe and easily one of the best side characters. I like her arc of really finding herself throughout the show like when she quits her excruciating job at the Big Doughnut and discovers her passion for singing. She also discovers who she likes throughout the show when she is shown crushing on guys, gals and nonbinary pals throughout the show, eventually settling down with her enby partner Shep. While Shep is only in one episode near the end of the show they are pretty cool and they are really cute with Sadie as a couple.

2. Finn McNamara (Life is Strange 2)

This one is kind of weird to me because while I do like Finn overall and can sympathise with his backstory, the fact that they lock his romance with Sean behind making some morally bad decisions does have some pretty messed up implications behind it. Because there are 2 romance options in Life is Strange 2 between a girl named Cassidy and a guy name Finn and they make the Cassidy romance the one that's easier to get because it just shows up when you choose not to rob the weed farm guys, meanwhile you have to choose to go with Finn to use Daniel's powers to help them with the heist. Now the weed farm guys are assholes and you do need the money and Finn does have some good motivations, but he's also thinking selfishly and putting Sean's brother Daniel in danger and teaching him to use his telekinesis powers to get what he wants. By locking the same sex romance option behind the morally bad decision you are tying queerness to inherent deviance which sucks. Having said that, Finn does have a sympathetic backstory of being homeless after being used and betrayed by his father in his own drug business and I do believe he does want to make life better for his friends. Also the way that him being pansexual specifically is explained in the game is a very accurate portrayal. When Sean asks him who he likes Finn replies with "I don't see gender, I see people", which shows that Finn is genderblind when it comes to his orientation which has always been a pretty good way of explaining what being pan is like. I appreciate Finn for being overt Pansexual rep, the only dude pansexual rep as well and he is a likeable character overall even if his romance path carries some problematic implications when you compare it to the same sex option with Cassidy.

1. Mae Borowski (Night in the Woods)

One of the best protagonists from one of my favourite games. I love how nonconforming Mae is in every sense of the word. She's openly queer and refuses to conform to societies gender expectations. She's a cool cat person who plays bass in a band with her friends. Always speaks her mind, does what she wants and is unapologetically herself. Also an incredibly nice person at heart even if her bluntness and inability to read the room sometimes leads to some not great situations. A heavily flawed but still amazing character. She also happens to be pan which is very accurately portrayed throughout the story which I wrote a post about. To summarize, she explicitly states in one scene that she doesn't care about the gender of a person but she just wants to date someone that is tough and cool and "GRRR." There's a bunch of other stuff that she says throughout the game but it's also revealed that she has an ex who is a guy named Cole and she develops intimate feelings for a girl she meets at a party known as "Bombshell." Mae is an amazing character who I deeply relate to on a lot of levels and also admire for her ability to be herself and not care what other people think.

“Today brings us the sad news of the passing of Shirley Watts - Halsdon Arabians. Most of us in the ‘ Arabian Horse World ‘ have been fortunate to meet Shirley & Her husband ‘ The Late Charlie Watts’ Shirley’s passion for her arabian horses saw the most incredible collection and breeding program grow over the years at her beautiful stud farm in Devon.

She had a great eye for her Polish Bred Arabians where we have been lucky enough to meet her prized collection at her impeccably hosted open days and of course the show ring.

One memory I have on her open day hosted back in 1998, was her mare, her pride and joy ‘SHF Pearlie Mae’ where her mane and forlock was adorned in pearls.

Shirley’s breeding program went from strength to strength preserving some of the most amazing polish blood lines that the UK was fortunate to experience, thanks to her ongoing support to the polish studs and the polish blood lines. R.I.P Mrs Watts & Thank you ((()))” - Zoë Tyzack

…Diana Ross I was scrolling through this morning and I remembered the “One Giant Step Monologue,” written by Billy Goldenberg and Bill Dyer. Special material from “An Evening with Diana Ross” recorded live at The Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, September 1976. Original release date January 18, 1977. Copyrighted by Motown Records.

Miss Ross speaks: So, if I wanted to get it, I guess it’s going to have to come up from somewhere else. I hoped it was there, somewhere, maybe scattered all over my childhood in the games we used to play. Why was it so important for me to take that one giant step? You know, I don’t think things ever really changed. I had an incredible teacher in elementary school, who told me what she thought thought the Grade C meant; Cheat. For those who will do half when all is called for, for them who will slip and slide through life on the edge of their minds. Never once pushing into the interiors of their minds, to find out what wonders were hiding there. Being content to drift along on whatever gets them by; cheating themselves, cheating the world and cheating nature. See I was at a point in my life, when I realized it was wonderful to be young and black but to be gifted and to know what you wanted to do; it was doubly dynamic, doubly important. I knew that there were a lot of other artists who had gone before me, all of them trusting themselves. People like, well my idols were, Jimmy Baldwin, Leontyne Price, Lena Horne, Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansbury, Eartha Kitt, Pearly Mae Bailey and on, on and on, I could go. The Count, The Duke, Satchmo, Billie Holiday. All of them writing, painting, acting, singing, dancing, reaching for the stars saying, I am and I am going to be.”

“Mae West was once described as “an outrageous female impersonator”; certainly, the persona she evolved on stage and in the cinema must be considered as the ultimate sex satire: splendidly vulgar, ostentatiously overdressed and not so much licentious as laughable. She is one of the great screen comediennes and the object of her mockery is not sex at all, but our attitudes towards it. Her first stage play was called simply Sex and gained her a ten-day jail sentence for its naughtiness. She could be considered the Lenny Bruce of the 30s, daring to talk about the unmentionable.”

/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars (1979) by Ken Wlaschin /

“Mae West was a startlingly beautiful woman with alabaster skin and wide-set sapphire blue eyes framed with long black eyelashes and a trace of eyeshadow. In an interview before her death in 1980, she extended a soft manicured hand with nails frosted a pearly pale pink and seated herself, smoothing the folds of her floor-length pale green peignoir. For a quick moment before she spoke, I wondered if I were faced with a stand-in, a lady some forty years younger than Miss West’s chronological age. Her low-pitched cadence seemed more befitting a Southern-bred woman than a native of Brooklyn. I wondered if she had heard of the wine inspector who had once said, “The 1921 (vintages) were like Mae West, fully developed from the start.””

/ Johna Blinn (possibly laying it on a bit thick) in Celebrity Cookbook (1981). The recipe West provided is “Mae West’s Diet Breakfast and / or Lunch Fruit Compote” /

Died on this day: incomparable high empress of sex Mae West (17 August 1893 – 22 November 1980). I screened West’s notorious final film Sextette (1978) at this month’s Lobotomy Room cinema club. When I was researching it, I came across this tantalizing factoid in the biography Mae West: The Lies, The Legends, The Truth (1989): “during the disco craze, she toyed with an offer to give some of her famous numbers disco treatment but shrewdly decided against doing an album, sensing that the fad had already peaked.” A Mae West disco album? What a missed opportunity!

Top 5 Canonical Pansexual Characters

So I recently made a post about why one of my all time favourite characters Mae Borowski from Night in the Woods is amazing pansexual representation and how the way her feelings are portrayed felt very accurate to my own. In that post I also said that there isn't enough pan rep, which is true and to prove my point I made a list of the only 5 undeniably canon pansexual characters I know of also 2 of them are from Steven Universe which is almost cheating to pull examples from. This is my ranking of all 5 of those characters based on how good they are as rep because I thought this would be a fun list to make and it's still Pride Month so yeah.

5. Willow Park (the Owl House)

So the Owl House is my favourite thing out of all the things mentioned on this list and Willow is my second favourite character here overall, but the way her being pan is handled is non existent in the show. There is nothing that even hints at it and Dana Terrace only announcing after the show seems disingenuous. I'm not too mad because the show already has plenty of queer rep that is fleshed out and sincere, but in the case of Willow it feels like Dana trying to retroactively cover all her basis. Besides this Willow is still a great character though, very likable, plant magic is cool and she has a great arc of finding her confidence and following her passion for sports.

4. Rose Quartz (Steven Universe)

An incredibly complex character that people with no media literacy love to hate. The idea that you witness her redemption character arc in reverse and how you only have word of mouth and flashbacks to go off of because she's actually dead throughout the whole show is kind of genius. As pan rep though, her orientation is left pretty vague. Like we know that she loved Greg and that Pearl loved her but whether Rose reciprocated Pearl's feelings is never answered. It's implied that she might have been polyamorous with a bunch of people and that it included Pearl but then Rose decided that she want a monogamous relationship with Greg and that's why Pearly became jealous of him. But again this is never explored beyond very vague hints.

3. Sadie Miller (Steven Universe)

Most likeable human character from Steven Universe and easily one of the best side characters. I like her arc of really finding herself throughout the show like when she quits her excruciating job at the Big Doughnut and discovers her passion for singing. She also discovers who she likes throughout the show when she is shown crushing on guys, gals and nonbinary pals throughout the show, eventually settling down with her enby partner Shep. While Shep is only in one episode near the end of the show they are pretty cool and they are really cute with Sadie as a couple.

2. Finn McNamara (Life is Strange 2)

This one is kind of weird to me because while I do like Finn overall and can sympathise with his backstory, the fact that they lock his romance with Sean behind making some morally bad decisions does have some pretty messed up implications behind it. Because there are 2 romance options in Life is Strange 2 between a girl named Cassidy and a guy name Finn and they make the Cassidy romance the one that's easier to get because it just shows up when you choose not to rob the weed farm guys, meanwhile you have to choose to go with Finn to use Daniel's powers to help them with the heist. Now the weed farm guys are assholes and you do need the money and Finn does have some good motivations, but he's also thinking selfishly and putting Sean's brother Daniel in danger and teaching him to use his telekinesis powers to get what he wants. By locking the same sex romance option behind the morally bad decision you are tying queerness to inherent deviance which sucks. Having said that, Finn does have a sympathetic backstory of being homeless after being used and betrayed by his father in his own drug business and I do believe he does want to make life better for his friends. Also the way that him being pansexual specifically is explained in the game is a very accurate portrayal. When Sean asks him who he likes Finn replies with "I don't see gender, I see people", which shows that Finn is genderblind when it comes to his orientation which has always been a pretty good way of explaining what being pan is like. I appreciate Finn for being overt Pansexual rep, the only dude pansexual rep as well and he is a likeable character overall even if his romance path carries some problematic implications when you compare it to the same sex option with Cassidy.

Mae Borowski (Night in the Woods)

One of the best protagonists from one of my favourite games. I love how nonconforming Mae is in every sense of the word. She's openly queer and refuses to conform to societies gender expectations. She's a cool cat person who plays bass in a band with her friends. Always speaks her mind, does what she wants and is unapologetically herself. Also an incredibly nice person at heart even if her bluntness and inability to read the room sometimes leads to some not great situations. A heavily flawed but still amazing character. She also happens to be pan which is very accurately portrayed throughout the story which I wrote a post about. To summarize, she explicitly states in one scene that she doesn't care about the gender of a person but she just wants to date someone that is tough and cool and "GRRR." There's a bunch of other stuff that she says throughout the game but it's also revealed that she has an ex who is a guy named Cole and she develops intimate feelings for a girl she meets at a party known as "Bombshell." Mae is an amazing character who I deeply relate to on a lot of levels and also admire for her ability to be herself and not care what other people think.

Reposting this to fight back against Tumblr's homophobic attack on my account that got my last post labelled as "mature." You are not going to outlaw my existence. Pansexual people exist, we derserve to exist just as much as the straights and we will fight back against your fascist regime. I will repost this as many times as I need to show them that their genocide tactics will not succeed.

21/07/2023 edit: Tumblr finally did the right thing and removed the Mature label from the original post but I'm still keeping this up as a reminder that they did it in the first place and that even this site has issues with trying to erase the existence of queer people. We don't deserve to be hidden and labelled as not safe for public eyes.
