Loki’s headcanons
(Live action version)
[ NSFW Alphabet ]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personality & Emotional Core
1. Deeply lonely, but terrified of intimacy
He aches to be understood, but the moment anyone gets close, he pulls away—mocking them or pushing them back to protect his own heart.
2. Weaponizes charm as a defense mechanism
The wit, the smirk, the confident strut—it’s all a carefully curated mask.
Loki knows how to be irresistible and unreadable at the same time.
3. Craves recognition, not power
He wants to be seen, not necessarily to rule.
Power was just the language he thought people would respect him in.
What he really wanted was to stop being “the other son.”
4. Speaks dozens of languages
Including obscure dialects, dead tongues, and even coded symbology.
He picked them up over time both for magical purposes and to read things no one else could.
5. Sleeps lightly and rarely
Nightmares—of Asgard’s destruction, Odin’s coldness, Thor falling, and his own death(s)—keep him from ever truly resting.
He paces instead of sleeps.
Powers & Magic
6. His magic is tied to emotion
Loki’s illusions are sharper when he’s angry, while his shapeshifting is easier when he’s calm or playful.
His most destructive magic comes from grief.
7. He stores hidden enchantments on his person
His jewelry, rings, and even the embroidery of his clothes sometimes bear hidden runes—emergency spells, illusions, or even literal failsafes in case he’s captured.
8. He could teleport freely—but often chooses to walk
He prefers a dramatic entrance.
He likes people watching him walk into a room.
Family & Identity
9. Still calls Frigga “Mother” in his head
Even after her death.
Her voice is the only one that calms his panic.
Sometimes when he’s overwhelmed, he “talks” to her in his mind.
10. He both resents and misses Thor
Loki thinks Thor is reckless and dim-witted—but he misses him, painfully.
No one’s ever loved him as unconditionally as Thor did, and that’s why it hurts so much.
11. His Frost Giant form is a source of shame
He hides it not out of pride—but fear.
Fear that people will see him as monstrous, even though he sometimes longs to reclaim that identity on his own terms.
12. He has multiple versions of himself in his mind
Not just in the multiverse.
Even in one timeline, Loki is fractured: The angry child.
The broken son, the charming liar.
The villain, the would-be hero.
They argue in his head when he’s quiet.
Love, Intimacy & Vulnerability
13. He doesn’t believe he deserves love
Not romantic, not familial, not platonic.
So when someone does love him, he’s suspicious, then self-sabotaging.
It terrifies him.
14. Has never had a truly consensual romantic relationship
He’s seduced and been seduced—but always as a means to an end.
He doesn’t trust love unless it comes from someone who sees through all his masks.
15. Touch-starved, but hides it well
He acts like he doesn’t care—flicking off a hand on his arm, rolling his eyes when hugged.
But even the lightest, genuine touch makes him go utterly still.
Identity & Growth
16. Genderfluid, quietly
He’s never needed labels, but when he shapeshifts into a woman, it isn’t a “disguise”—it’s just another true self.
Sylvie isn’t an anomaly to him; she’s recognition.
17. He envies mortals
For their ability to change.
To die, and to forgive.
He’s bitter and fascinated that their lives are short but meaningful.
It makes him feel stagnant by contrast.
18. He wants to be free, not good
Redemption is less important to him than choice.
What matters most is being the author of his own life, not a pawn in the hands of fate, gods, or TVA agents.
19. He sees time as a prison
Ever since his encounter with the TVA, time has become a trauma trigger.
It’s not linear or comforting to him—it’s a trap, a punishment, a cage.
20. He’s tired of being “the villain”
Loki knows he’s done terrible things, but he no longer wants to play the archetype others wrote for him.
The villain, the traitor, the liar.
He just wants a chance to be.

Bro… the best day of their lives and the worst night they ever experienced happening back to back… pain and beauty being so closely interlinked. The push that day, night, and the outcome gave Sammie to pursue music. Sammie having nightmares for the rest of his life, well into his graying years, but never regretting the day he had at the Juke Joint.
Stack and Mary finally being able to be happy together, at the cost of the freedom of their spirits. Joy and community that can be found within dreadful circumstances. I Lied to You, a song about the conflict and separation between father and son that is transformed into communal connection. The song sung at the catalyst night, and that cements Sammie’s path as a musician. Pain that is turned into art that turns into freedom.
Delta Slim transitioning from a traumatic recollection into an improvised song as he mourns a dear friend who was lynched. That maybe in a better world art shouldn’t have to be made out of suffering, nor suffering transformed into art, but with the history that exists and the world we live in, what other choice is there?
#these are kinda some disorganized thoughts that I had on the nature of art as it’s shown through the movie#but it’s a really incredible display of how pain can be twisted into a point of connection for a people#it’s a sign of resilience to do so—even though it’s awful that people have to do it#but in particular for me was Delta Slim turning from mourning to singing—because what else is there to do?#he’s already fallen to pieces. he drinks heavily (self medicating). what else can he do but use his pain?#mourn through his music and artwork. express it externally.#the only other option is to cry. and after years of an unresolved pain… still crying must be exhausting.#so. the day and night of joy and trauma. how one leads to the other which leads to the other#not everyone makes it out of the Juke. it’s only Sammie and Smoke#and Smoke dies soon after#so it’s not as though Coogler is saying that trauma is a unilateral good; no way#but it’s a recognition that pain in some people can be harnessed into something constructive. and that has the power for change#in other people though. pain leads to destruction. destruction of the self and others#seen in. nearly everyone. Delta. Smoke and Stack (in their own ways). Annie and Mary and Pearline and let’s be honest: Remmick#everyone else in the Juke.#it’s a tragic and incredible nuance provided to the role of trauma in forming and maintaining community#sinners#sinners spoilers#sinners 2025#sinners meta#sinners analysis#my post

Hi!!! I just wanted to tell you thank you!!! Like, every time you post a dpxdc something, I just go feral. I come here after screeching at one your posts like a pterodactyl....inna good way I mean! Your writing just makes days better and brings a smile on my face when I need it. So, thank you for feeding my gremlin brain and sustaining my dark soul!
Anyways! My ask is if the recently posted 'Tim thinks Danny is a vampire but cute' would get a 2nd part????
Thank you!!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄
(Wahhh tysm! I’m glad you like my stuff :D)
Part 1, Part 3, Part 4
Tim leaned on a fist as he watched Danny doodle on his notebook instead of taking notes. He was drawing constellations and cartoony stars everywhere, his face dazed even through the camera screen. Tim stared at him, knowing that no matter what Jason said, he was still extremely suspicious and needed a careful eye.
A figure suddenly approached Danny, a tall boy with red hair, freckles, and a face that oddly looked similar to Danny’s. He gathered Danny’s stuff without another word, even as Danny jumped up with a start to protest.
Danny floundered. Tim began reading his lips with narrowed eyes. ‘What! Hey, what’re you doing?’
‘We have to go,’ the boy said tugging on Danny’s wrist. His familiarity with him made Tim bristle as he opened another tab to look into the school records and use his face recognition program to find out whoever the hell this was.
A girl with a bandanna pulling back her curly hair then strode towards Danny. She reached over to hold Danny’s hand and pulled him away from the other boy, both of them urgent. Danny asked her something, his face tilted away enough that Tim couldn’t decipher his words.
Hissing, Tim hurriedly changed perspectives so he could catch the tail of his words. When did Danny have so many friends?! After weeks of watching him, Danny hardly interacted with many people at all! These two people were ones that Tim had seen often lingering about, but how did they know Danny?! And why were they so close to him?!
‘— see something?’
The girl nodded hurriedly, her eyebrows furrowed. ‘Someone’s watching you. We need to get you to safety.’
Tim’s heart dropped into his feet. He stood up from his seat to focus as he clicked on his mouse, trying to figure out what was happening. Were they onto him? But how? His cameras were the state of the art in tech and none of it should’ve been detectable!
Unless they were all vampires…? Or maybe his hypothesis was wrong and Danny was even worse than a bloodsucking creature.
In the cameras, Danny froze. Then he turned and all three of them looked at the camera that Tim had chosen to watch them, making direct eye contact with Tim behind the screen.
In an instant, Tim self destructed all of his cameras, listening devices and trackers (which honestly hadn’t worked at all since he attached them to various belongings of Danny.)
He was sweating as he erased all of his tracks expertly. When he was done, he cursed. All of his tech was destroyed completely and none of it could be traced back to him, but now he didn’t have a way to observe Danny.
He sighed and drew a hand through his hair. He picked up his phone and gave a call.
“Hey, Steph? Can you find a way for me to get into Gotham University right now?”

Ⅰ. Conjunctions in Synastry: With vs. Without Parallel in Declination. There is a subtle yet meaningful difference between conjunctions in synastry that are also parallel in declination vs not. A conjunction by zodiac degree (same longitude) is a powerful alignment where the energy can manifest as shared focus, resonance, or even friction between two individuals. However, when the conjunction is both by degree and also parallel in declination, the connection is often more visceral. It manifests not only as symbolic alignment but also energetic harmony on multiple planes, amplifying the energy and binding quality of the aspect. These alignments tend to feel "fated" or inescapable, affecting both conscious and subconscious layers of the relationship more intensely.
Ⅱ. Shadow-Integrated Lilith vs Shadow-Unintegrated Lilith. Someone with a shadow-unintegrated Lilith tends to act out through projection, rebellion without purpose, or engages in harmful unconscious patterns. This often showing up as power struggles, sexual disempowerment, or rejection of feminine instinct and power. There is a tendency to compete or push down others due to lack of confidence. In contrast, someone with a shadow-integrated Lilith has gone though inner reckoning and work: her primal nature is no longer feared or repressed, but owned and consciously expressed. This Lilith is empowered, magnetic, and capable of fierce self-possession and power without destructive fallout.
Ⅲ. Track synodic cycles that make contact with your personal planets. A synodic cycle begins when two planets meet in a conjunction and continues until those planets meet again. For example: the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in 2024 in the sign of Taurus at 21° began a new 14-year cycle. If you have any personal planet in a fixed sign within 18-24°, this conjunction began a new long-term narrative in that area of your life. Over the next 14 years, the themes of that conjunction will be re-activated anytime a planet is in that range in a fixed sign. These activations can act as checkpoints in your personal development, offering moments of insight, disruption, or accelerated growth depending on the nature of the triggering planet and the personal planet involved.
Ⅳ. If you have a T-Square in your chart: exploring art, music, literature, or film that reflect the qualities of the sign opposite the apex planet, the “missing leg”, can help ease inner tension and support a deeper integration of the T-Square’s energy through creative resonance (checking the natal chart of when that art/music/etc. was released can help). It becomes less about "solving a problem" and more about intuitively moving your way into balance. Over time, becoming more familiar and aligned with this missing energy can help you soothe and integrate the tension in a more conscious, harmonious, and creative way. Think of it as a potent tool for recalibrating your energy but one that works through inspiration, symbolism, and emotional recognition.

The symbols you are drawn to and what they mean
Connecting them to astrological and mythological coorelations
This is as brief as possible because I think all of these deserve separate posts, but I think I managed to convey everything. The list is short but the info is interesting and there's quite a lot of it, actually.
Inspired by the attachment I've had since childhood to first symbol listed here. Could also be read for symbols showing up in your life during specific periods, or the ones that have been connected to you for a long time.
Disclaimer: I did not include flower/plant or general animal symbolism (as in, the symbolic meaning of any animal in general), because they too deserve separate explorations.
I hope you enjoy
1. Spirals
Tumblr media
Creation, flow of life, infinity and mother nature
A spiral is a symbol representing mother nature_ as it is found in plants, animals (tail of chameleons, coiled snakes, shells of sea animals and snails), human physiognamy, and consequently, it represents the creative and feminine qualities.
Mother Earth, Goddess Gaia is symbolized by spirals. Its element would be Earth (but it can contain all other elements).
It's the flow of life and the receptive power of the female, symbolizing how it takes and gives, how through "weakness" she gains strength. In a way, it also represents how she uses necessary destruction to keep the infinity of life going. It's a cruel, never-ending torture and blissful, merciful salvation in one.
Astrologically, people with an abundance of Earth element might be drawn to it (Sun, Moon and/or Rising along with other important placements in Earth signs_ Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn).
The nakshatras of Bharani, Rohini, Punarvasu, Ashlesha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Mula, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati might all be connected to it.
To point out the more likely ones, their association with Bharani, Punarvasu, Swati and Revati can be more obvious.
Bharani is the nakshatra of passive femininity and mother nature, especially in a creative and sexual sense and on a cosmic scale. It is the first nakshatra where we meet the feminine and we meet her in her fierce, primordial state, at her most insistent, but nevertheless, Bharani is where the feminine keeps the infinity of life and death going, associated with the wheel of fate found in various mythologies.
Swati is the freedom and the "illusion" of this and other worlds, associated with the cosmic egg and the "mother". It's where the soul is free to play in the illusion of the material world and its manifestations, where it sees not only one but multiple realities and explores them, bound only by love. It represents infinity in the sense that it allows travel through realities, contrasting its opposite Bharani, where the infinity of life is in the hands if higher forces and humans feel trapped in the limitations of the material.
Revati is nakshatra of flow and ultimate creativity (the individualized self that seeks/came from the fires of Bharani, its yoni consort). It's the nakshatra of true freedom and free will, where the possibilities are finally infinite.
Punarvasu is the open and nurturing feminine, representing infinity, just like Bharani and Revati, but in a more direct way. Bharani is the immortality of the soul, the infinite cycle of death and rebirth oveseen by the feminine (fate). Revati is the true freedom and infinite possibilities. Punarvasu is simply the force that allows infinity, the second/third/millionth chance to repeat or break the cycle (the breaking of the cycle happens in Revati_ another Mercury-Jupiter ruled nakshatra).
To emphasize Punarvasu's unique role, it's also the nakshatra of patterns and pattern recognition. Consequently, it's associated with prophecies. Ruled by the Mother goddess Aditi (whose name means "boundless"/"limitless", "innocence"), it's first nakshatra (if we start the count from the first nakshatra of Aries, the first sign) that offers such freedom and is, in my opinion, the first nakshatra of magic.
If you have these nakshatras, an abundance of Earth and Water elements, Venus and/or Moon with great relevance in your chart and possibly also major activations in 2nd, 5th, 8th and/or 12th houses, you might be highly drawn to this symbol.
Gaia/Gaea is an Earth goddess, the primordial titaness. There is an abundance of Earth Mother goddesses across various mythologies and cultures. You might feel connected to them too. It's possible that if you love this symbol, you're also drawn to the following colors: pure or milky white, grass green, soft pink, brown.
The following placement might connect to this symbol:
Sun, moon or ascendant in either of these nakshatras (not ranked): Bharani, Rohini, Punarvasu, Ashlesha, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Mula, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati.
Emphasis on Earth signs, especially Taurus and Virgo.
Ketu or Atmakaraka in Punarvasu, Bharani, Swati, Revati or Mula.
Any of the planets located in earth signs being vargottama (same sign in D1 and D9).
Taurus, Pisces or Virgo in big three in D1 and/or D9.
2. The Ouroboros
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cycles, endings, turning point, infinity
A snake eating itself/its own tail, is an ancient symbol and as relevant now as it was then.
Astrologically it connects to two nakshatras associated with serpents_ Ashlesha and Uttara Bhadrapada. Both also represent an ending of a cycle in some way. Ashlesha's symbol is the coiled snake and it wraps up the first stage of nakshatras, marking the first gandanta point (there are three in total_ the points where both the nakshatra and the sign end, transitioning from water signs to fire signs). Uttara Bhadrapada is the soul solidifying in its truth, settling into the limitations, a point where the inner serpent that began to awaken in Ashlesha has gained "wings" and has matured into a dragon.
You might be drawn to this symbol in times of intense transformation, deep cleansing and revision.
Serpents have been considered symbols of awareness, instinctual intelligence and wisdom. Snake represents the inner animal of a person and the raw part of a being, the one that's stripped bare of any constructed defences.
Coming full-circle, being at the same spot you once where at but now it's different, just because you have gone through it.
It's the indicator of a critical point, the one that feels like "!!!" in your soul. It's a warning and a chance, a reminder of the past and the doorway to completion.
In a way, it also represents self-mastery, as the snake is both nourishing and destroying itself.
Ouroboros can relate to the water element, as it is in many ways about completion and both of the nakshatras symbolozed by serpents_ Ashlesha and Uttara Bhadrapada are in water signs_ Cancer and Pisces, respectively.
Another nakshatra that can be associated with it is Shatabhisha_ the last Rahu ruled nakshatra. Rahu, being the head of the serpent, is closely connected to its meaning. Shatabhisha in particular is symbolized by a circle and is about containing various types of information (represented by another one of its symbols_ water reservoir).
Those who have these nakshatras are also often drawn to snake deities, mainly, goddesses: Nagas, Sirona, Tefnut, Wadjet, Asclepius, the Gorgons, so on. Snake deities are often associated with healing and water. There are also primordial water deities who may or may not be directly associated with serpents. An interesting goddess to mention is Hecate_ goddess of crossroads, who is the triple goddess of the liminal, often connected to turning points, not unlike this symbol. Self-realization and completion are deeply tied into the Ouroboros.
Astrological houses that might be connected to it: 4th, 8th, 12th.
The element of water is the most suitable for this symbol, but the element of fire can also resonate to it due to its purifying nature. People who are dominated by these elements (especially water) might connect to it.
The most possible placements of people who resonate with this symbol:
Sun, moon, Ascendant, Ketu, Atmakaraka or chart ruler in Ashlesha, Uttara Bhadrapada or Shatabhisha nakshatra.
Emphasis on water signs.
Sun or moon conjunct Rahu or Ketu.
Moon or Ketu in the 4th, 8th or 12th house.
Rahu or Ketu in the 1st house.
3. A cross
See this article to learn a little about different types of crosses
https://symbolsage.com/types-of-crosses/
Tumblr media
Limitations, stability, mortality, the finite, devotion.
We all have our cross to carry.
What is the cross exactly? It's a symbol on its own and part of other symbols. The astrological symbols for Earth, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all contain it.
Looking through the many variations of this symbol, it's clear that in its simplicity it's more universal and ancient than hyper-specific. Considering the fact that it's seen in a variety of contexts across millenias, I want to exert the most prevalent meaning of the cross as it's been percieved and depicted through the people from various cultures and ages.
First of all, I have to speak about the mass popularization of this symbol through Christianity and the subsequent (and inevitable) association of it with this religion in people's minds. In Christianity, cross is synonymous with mortal suffering and bearing of Earthly struggles with grace.
Suffering of the material has to do with boundaries, limitations and the "finiteness" of it. In many ways, it relates to Saturn, as like the cross does for Christians, it represents responsibility and bearing. But Saturn is also stability. The limits and boundaries have the other side to their harshness_ the blessing of endurance, stability and realiability.
The symbol for Earth is a cross inside a circle. It shows stability in that context too. In essence, a cross might simply be the core structure.
An interesting thing is that the symbol for denial is a cross too. Denial is basically a "no" and a stop, so, it ties into the limitation aspect of it.
So, the first astrological coorelation I want to make is the connection of this symbol to planet Saturn.
Saturn relates to the symbolic role of the cross in a general sense and the nakshatras that are ruled by Saturn based on vedic astrology (Pushya, Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada) consequently adopt that association. Connected to sacrifice, duty and devotion, this planet clearly aligns with the meaning of the cross as people of many cultures and eras have understood it.
In its Christian sense, the cross calls to mind the crucifixion, death and rebirth of the Christ.
To credit Claire Nakti_ I learned about this next coorelation from her video.
Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra is connected to that story in a deep way. Ruled by Jupiter, bridging the Saturnian Aquarius and Jupitarian Pisces, it represents the soul passing through the abyss, where it must shed all that is unnecessary and tempting to save the only thing that really matters_ the soul. 11th house of Aquarius is about gains from friends, it's a place where we're already on a massive scale, influencing/being influenced by huge forces. 12th house (Pisces) is about renouncing all of that for spiritual enlightenment. It's connected to intense isolation and withdrawal from the material, and often, the everyday life. In Pisces, Purva Bhadrapada is alone, seeking the truth that will set them free. It is through suffering and the brave sacrifice that the enlightenment is achieved (the thematics of Purva Bhadrapada are not something to misunderstand, there is more about it that I want to say but for now, I hope this little overview is enough, for the sake of it being a part of the context).
After Purva Bhadrapada, we enter the Saturnian Uttara Bhadrapada, sitting completely in Jupiterian Pisces (the flipped rulers of Purva Bhadra). In Uttara Bhadrapada, the intense fire of the previous lunar mansion is turned to ash, and the purity of the soul that was achieved through fierce cleansing is now to be maintained by repetition and steely discipline. Uttara Bhadrapada is strongly tied to endurance, quiet or silent strength and honor. It's called "the warrior star", and its associations call to mind the idealized image of the knights of middle ages, how their moral code of honor was what they lived and hoped to die by. This lunar mansion is the stabilization of the cleansing, and it's where the soul tries to access freedom by submitting to the limitations first, once and for all. Saturn_ its planetary ruler, as I have said, is connected to the limitations of material existence, including the illusion of time, and the nakshatra of Uttara Bhadrapada is strongly tied to sacrifices and suffering, maybe even moreso than Purva Bhadrapada, because the first Bhadrapada nakshatra has yet to achieve the purity at first, the second one is pure and gives its all to maintain it.
Other Saturn nakshatras of Pushya and Anuradha are associated with suffering and sacrifice as well (and natives of these nakshatras might be drawn to the cross too, as it shows their resilience and devotion), but Uttara Bhadrapada has shown to be directly tied to the ressurection of the Christ after the crucifixion (my personal take, as Purva Bhadra is the crucifixion, and Uttara Bhadrapada_ the latter, is about "the rise from the ashes", connected to the flying serpent/dragon Ahirbudnya).
So, the Bhadrapadas can be connected to the Christian story of Christ's death and ressurection. But if we take into account the general, mass associations with this symbol, then other astrological placements come into the play: Other two Saturnian nakshatras of Pushya and Anuradha; Bharani nakshatra, ruled by Saturnian God of death_ Yama, the place of Saturn's debilitation, nakshatra of physical limitations and coming into the body, as well as mother Earth and the inevitability/fate; Hasta nakshatra_ located fully in Virgo (natural sign lf the sixth house), the most material sign/house in the literal sense, connected to everything Earthy and/or Earthly (Hasta women also might tend to be intensely devoted to their chosen religion, there are examples of that in Christianity).
I want to mention a notable exception: Brigid's cross, a symbol of the Celtic goddess, is visually a little more different than others and holds a different meaning as well. It is, in its essence, Solar, matching the nature of the goddess Brigid herself.
The following placements might connect to this symbol:
Saturn in the 1st house.
Saturn conjunct Sun or Moon.
Saturn conjunct either Rahu or Ketu.
Purva or Uttara Bhadrapada in big three, as atmakaraka or Ketu.
Pushya or Anuradha in big three.
Bharani nakshatra in big three or as Ketu.
Hasta nakshatra as Ketu.
Saturn in Aries (debilitated) or Libra (exalted).
Saturn being Vargottama, exalted (in Libra) or prominently placed in D9.
4. Cup, Goblet, Chalice, Grail
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The most desired thing, the ultimate, the container, the feminine.
A grail is the physical manifestation of the spiritual essence, the vessel that holds the substance.
The importance of this symbol can be understood through the concept of "The Holy Grail". Even used out of its mythological context, the term is used to describe the ultimate meaning, the most wanted thing. In various legends and written texts, it was said to have miraculous attributes including healing powers, granting infinite abundance and/or eternal youth.
The origin of it in the collective conciousness is unclear, it might be Christian or Celtic. In Christianity, it is described as the cup that the blood of Christ was spilled into. As far as Celtic legends go, it's connected to King Arthur, his knights of the round table and their quest. The Grail, according to those legends, was said to be protected and guarded by The Fisher King, hidden in a secret castle.
I'm thinking of talking more about this in another post, but to explain shortly, the Grail relates to Bharani nakshatra.
In this lunar mansion, the spark that was initiated previously takes form and gains definition, making it the place of birth. Bharani nakshatra is related to the feminine as the one who forms and manifests/birthes life. In this way, life is the most precious thing in and of itself, and the desire that drives it is under the domain of the feminine principle of the universe.
The Grail is connected to the themes of mortality, immortality, desire. Bharani, being the lunar mansion that rules over the cycle of life, soul attachments, love, desire, gatekeeping, secrecy, the "ultimate" attainment, it is mythologically connected to the quest for the Holy Grail.
For context: the symbol for Bharani nakshatra is the Yoni_ the feminine sexual organ.
Venus, Bharani's planetary ruler, is said to be the planet that grants ressurection, which is already the theme of Bharani, but it also represents the pure physical manifestation of the spiritual essence. Venus is "the goal", the ideal end-result of the journey, hence, it's the "ultimate" desired thing, the "highest" and famously considered unnattainable.
Just like how the knights went through many trials in its search, for then only three of them (Percival, Galahad, Bors, based on different versions) to find it, the treasure that Bharani protects_ the female herself, is difficult to access and requires specific energy to acquire and "possess" it, symbolised by the yoni_ female sexual organ (the main symbol of this nakshatra).
The spiritual attributes of the Holy Grail are also resonant to Bharani: the drive to "have" and "possess" but being denied it ultimately leads to humility and reverance that any creature has for what they believe is the higher power.
Bharani represents the sacred power of the feminine, rooted in her receptivity. The worship of her and everything that she represents is closely related to and, in many ways, the same as humans worshipping the divine. The love for women or a woman, especially for men, inspires feelings of awe, fear, passion and bliss.
The feminine is passive in a sense that she just IS, she does not have to do anything in particular. There is enormous power in that, and Bharani represents that power, as well as the unique and often misunderstood challenges of that state.
Bharani's core associations and themes are directly connected and resonant to the symbolic meanings of The Holy Grail, as well the mentions or depictions of cups/goblets/chalices in general. But without the meaning and the symbolism attached to "The Holy Grail", the chalice has always held that association, and if we percieve it as simply a physical manifestation of the spiritual, its meaning can be connected to the nakshatras of Virgo: Uttara Phalguni, Hasta and Chitra.
Uttara Phalguni relates to the woman as the bringer and embodyment of privilege, power and abundance, symbolised by the ripe fruit ready to be plucked. This is also the nakshatra of people who make great leaders and rulers, and women of this lunar mansion in their big three love to grant power and favors to masculine people they deem worthy. They also like to deprive those they deem unworthy, and these favors often have to do with actual, material and physical advantages and gifts, and, oftentimes, political/material/social influence.
Hasta is the veiled woman, concealed and unreachable until she decides to reveal herself. All Virgo nakshatras, as well as Bharani, relate to the woman being "a recource". Hasta is basically "barren" to almost everyone. It also shares the archetype of the passive feminine who aims for self-sufficiency (connected to goddesses similar to Persephone and Proserpina, more directly associated with Hasta than Bharani) with Bharani, and they both relate to it in different ways.
Chitra relates to crafting and scuplting, to fitting the outer shell to the inner substance. It's the nakshatra of materials in the literal sense and relates to precious objects. Material things are not shallow if they are of value (if they are made correctly, in accordance with the rules and the law, if their appearance and physicality aligns with the essence), and that is what Chitra has to prove.
The sign of Virgo (the maiden, the virgin) shares the themes of the physical manifestation and limitation with Bharani nakshatra (which is placed fully in Aries, natural ruler of the 1st house of the body). The constellation of Virgo has been described as "The Queen of Heaven", possibly reffering to ancient goddesses who share this title: Inanna, Isis, Nut, Astarte, Asherah. Bharani relates to the idea of "The Kingdom of Heaven", closely connected to the Holy Grail. Sumer goddess Inanna, in particular, who is mentioned the most often to carry that status, is archetypically extremely similar to the Norse goddess Freya. Freya is deeply resonant to Bharani nakshatra (so is Inanna), and both of those goddesses are somehow associated with love and beauty as well as the underworld. Both also represent the "maiden" aspect of the feminine, not just the "mother" aspect, and "the maiden" archetype can be associated to Bharani and the sign of Virgo. These goddesses, therefore, might connect with people who are drawn to the grail's symbolism.
Besides them, one of the very few to own the Grail, according to Arthurian legends, was Morgana, also called Morgan or Morgan le Fay_ enchantress and a sister of Arthur. Morgan le Fay could have been a goddess herself, but whether or not she was, she's still an important representative of the achetype of the magical woman/ambigous witch, even today. Morgan le Fay is also sometimes linked to The Morrigan_ a fierce triple goddess of battle, victory, fate amd death.
Mercury nakshatras, especially Jyeshta and Revati might relate to Morgan le Fay, and Jyeshta in particular might connect to The Morrigan.
Another interesting astrological coorelation would be the lunar mansion of Mrigashira ("Deer's head", the first one to be ruled by Mars, bridging Venusian Taurus and Mercurial Gemini, ruled by the moon god Soma). It is the nakshatra of quests and searching, in every sense of those words, and as The Holy Grail is almost inseparable from the quest of the knights in the collective human conciousness, it resonates to the symbolism of the Grail in a mythological way. Mrigashira (in Taurus) has the same planetary rulers as Bharani, the primary nakshatra connected to the grail: Bharani's nakshatra ruler is Venus and its sign ruler is Mars, with Taurean Mrigashira it's the other way around (Mars as nakshatra ruler, Venus as sign ruler). Both of these nakshatras are connected to bravery and action, both are points of importance in terms of decision making (in different ways), both are connected to love/sex/union/genders, both relate to the empowerment of the identity or the humbling of it through love (manifests in different ways). "Soma", the name of Mrigashira's god, is also the name of the mythological drink, the nectar of gods, sometimes seen as the drink that alters conciousness and gives knowledge, sometimes it's the drink of immortality. The nakshatra of immortality is Bharani (again, the same things have been attributed to Bharani). These two nakshatras are connected in many intetesting ways.
The last placement I want to mention is Vishakha nakshatra_ lunar mansion sitting opposite Bharani, bridging the signs of Libra and Scorpio, belonging to the same astrological caste (mleccha/outcast) as Bharani. "Vishakha" means "poison vessel", so it's easy to see that it shares themes with Bharani and in many ways is the other side of the coin. Another name for Vishakha nakshatra is "Radha", meaning "the gift". While this lunar mansion deals with the substance of the poison (energy/anger) itself, its name suggests that it is also directly connected to the vessel that contains it. This latter theme is more often expressed through feminine/female natives of Vishakha nakshatra. Vishakha is also the same caste as Bharani_ mleccha (outcast), like Ashlesha and Shravana nakshatras.
This is the only caste that has all of its nakshatras forming a pattern on the wheel_ they all square two of the others and oppose the remaining third other one, making all of them the corners of a square. All of these four nakshatras (Bharani, Vishakha, Shravana, Ashlesha) came up when I was researching characters/people connected to Arthurian legends.
Note: Bharanis and Vishakhas make an amazing team and have excellent platonic chemistry, in my opinion.
The three nakshatras connected to the Holy Grail through their own symbolism all have both Venus and Mars associated with them. With Bharani and Mrigashira, one is the nakshatra lord and other is the sign lord (flipped versions of each other), Vishakha however bridges the Venusian Libra and the Martian Scorpio. Venus is the feminine in her abundant and pure state, at her end-goal. Mars is the force of movement and action, the masculine in his natural assertive and active state. When these two planets come together (when they're both associated with the same thing or when their union creates something) then procreation, desire, sexuality, sexes, love, division and unity are at the forefront. Bharani is the one nakshatra out of the three that does not have another rashi ruler, making those two planets its only direct rulers.
If we think about how life is created_ through the masculine asserting on and entering the feminine, then the feminine going through the hard and laborous (no pun intended) process for nine months and a life-threatening birth at the end of that period, we can see the interplay between those two planets as well as the themes of Bharani nakshatra. In its most overarching sense, the Holy Grail is the feminine body, the female herself, in all of her human incarnations and as the great feminine/mother nature. The feminine suffers from the limitatioms she herself creates, but those limitations are necessary, and she barely has the choice in all of it. The feminine as the hand of fate is both the authority and the servant, as the suffering she "creates" affects her too, and she is only the servant of the cosmic universal law, which she herself represents.
The struggle and the limitatioms are not simply "negative", they're also "positive" and necessary for life itself to exist. This process (cycle of life, death and rebirth) that the feminine oversees is, ultimately, "neutral", because it's the only thing that is. That's what the justice that mortals think they cannot comprehend is. We can't know some things, because we're not meant to.
Generally, the soul is seen as "masculine", but it cannot taste life unless it enters the form_ the "feminine". Not only is the grail the feminine as human women, but it's also the body itself, since the body itself is the feminine.
To review, people with following placements might connect to this symbol, moreso if they have multiple of these:
Bharani nakshatra in big three (especially), ketu (also really important), atmakaraka or as chart ruler.
Virgo in big three or as Ketu.
Mrigashira, Vishakha or Ashlesha nakshatra in big three.
Emphasis on elephant yonis_ Bharani and Revati (one or both).
Important or many placements in the first house, especially Venus, Ketu and Moon.
Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Atmakaraka or chart ruler in the 8th house. (8th house is a house of vulnerability and receptivity, but also a place where fierce protection is emphasized.)
Venus being Vargottama (in the same sign in both D1 and D9)
Ketu in the 1st or the 7th house.
Rahu and Ketu axis in Taurus and Scorpio (Rahu or Ketu in either), especially if they're in Jyeshta and one if the Snake yonis_ Rohini or Mrigashira. (Refer to my post about Morgan le Fay)
Most of these placements are also connected to Arthurian legends: its stories, characters and motifs. I'm most likely going to explore this better in another post.

I hope you liked this. This kind of posts are way more natural to me, here it was a lot easier for me to research and convey the gist, I'm just more interested in it. It's a little different, I know. I hope it's interesting and appreciated nontheless.

Random Musings on Gale and His Relationship With Mystra
I find Gale's relationship with Mystra to be one of the most fascinating parts of his story. It’s a dynamic that can be viewed in many different ways, depending on how you approach it and I think that’s part of what makes it so compelling. While some might see it literally, I’d like to explore it through a more allegorical perspective, though I want to be clear: this is just one way to interpret their relationship, and other viewpoints are just as valuable. This isn't even the only way that I personally interpret them haha. (I just have to be nuanced, it's a compulsion truly.)
In literature and mythology, take Greek mythology, for instance, relationships between gods and mortals can often carry deeper, symbolic meanings. The gods aren’t always just powerful beings they can represent larger forces like nature, fate, or human desires. This approach, called allegorical interpretation, is something I find really enjoyable! It adds layers to a story.
Consider the famous story of Paris’s judgment of the goddesses. The goddess Eris, seeking to sow discord, throws a golden apple inscribed “for the fairest” into a wedding attended by Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. They decide to have the mortal Paris judge who deserves the apple most out of the three of them and is thus the fairest.
Tumblr media
Each goddess offers Paris a gift in exchange for the title. Athena offers great tactical ability, Hera promises leadership over vast kingdoms, and Aphrodite tempts him with the love of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world (who happens to already be married). Paris chooses Aphrodite, gains Helen as a lover and this leads to the Trojan War. Beyond the literal reading, this story can be seen as desire (Aphrodite) overcoming both wisdom (Athena) and marriage (Hera). Paris's fatal flaw is his lust for Helen. The story can also be interpreted as Paris losing due to declining to accept both of the other offers. He fails strategically in the ensuing war and also causes the collapse of his own kingdom.
Mystra, as the living incarnation of the Weave, can be interpreted similarly. She isn’t merely Gale's ex-lover. She is magic itself, the force that gives Gale his entire identity. Their relationship transcends romance; it’s more like that of a man consumed by his craft to an unhealthy degree. Like a mathematician to mathematics, or a physicist to physics, he's in love with something that can't love him back.
Tumblr media
His attempt to give Mystra a gift she's never received before, something truly incredible, is due to his belief that transcending all limits to somehow earn Mystra’s (and thus, magic’s and his life's work's) recognition is both possible and necessary. It was 100% done with the best intentions but tragically any all-consuming passion carries the risk of blowing up in your face. (Just look at Alfred Nobel, pun intended) And, due to the aforementioned "blow up", his emotional low and his measurable low in his abilities correspond quite directly
There is a cut dialogue from early access about how much of his power he lost after this:
You see, this fire – there was a time that I could make it come alive. That it would take the shape of a dragon and roar in delight. There was a time I could silence a Beholder with a word, and lift a tower from its foundations with a flourish. There was a time I was all but one with the Weave. But no more – a mere shadow of the wizard I used to be. Why? Because I’ve lost.
A key theme in their relationship (in my opinion) is not just Mystra’s rejection but what her rejection represents: The collapse of Gale’s identity as a powerful magic user. (An identity he's built his life around and sacrificed for ever since he was a child)
Without this, he starts self destructing. He has to make do with consuming scraps of magic rather than the all encompassing sort he used to receive from Mystra's presence.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Mystra’s treatment of Gale is undeniably harmful, I think it’s important to recognize that she is not cruel in a personal, calculated way. She is so out of touch with normal people that she’s more akin to a force of nature. As an arbiter of natural laws, she wants to control him/kill him because he represented a destabilizing influence, not out of any targeted animosity. (Which is arguably worse than outright hate depending on your point of view)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for a bit of a change in topic I wanted to go over his different endings:
His "good" ending comes from the realization that magic, or any external force, cannot be the source of true self-worth. The deeper theme here, beyond just getting over an ex-relationship, is that Gale must learn to build relationships with people and and find a healthy balance between his work and personal life, rather than devoting himself wholly to impersonal things at the cost of his well-being. He has to learn that he is "Galenough," as @ekansbot once put it. Ultimately, his growth in this regard is best shown with his choice to embrace his ordinary, human last name "Dekarios", rather than defining himself solely as the archmage "of Waterdeep."
Tumblr media
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More evidence about the meaning of names to him, earlier during the conversation with Mystra in the tabernacle, she will either call him "Gale Dekarios" if she's displeased to remind him of his humanity, or"Gale of Waterdeep" when pleased to inflate his ego with a title. This shows how revolutionary it is for him to willingly forego having a title at all in this ending as it had been something he sought in the past.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
Alternatively, and more fun for my tragedy-loving psyche, he can totally succumb to his flaws and lose himself. In this case the orb's desires fully supplant him as a person. He becomes a power hungry god, doomed to perpetuate the same callousness Mystra showed to him. His grand dreams of bettering the world fades, and his only goals shift to slowly gathering more power and followers and eventually challenging the rest of the gods. He entirely gives up on being a "person" he's the god of ambition now, and you can see it in the way he speaks how much he has mentally separated himself from the mortal world. He has fully given up on having a life outside of his obsessions. It’s quite dark. (Though not quite as dark as my absolute favorite, the Absolute ending, where you use thousands of mind controlled innocents to become Kratos.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something that's extra sad for you. If the player character chooses to break up with him after becoming a god he says "so I'm still not enough for you" Aghh it's horrible. His insecurities only get worse as a god.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
Or... he could kill himself. Literally destroying his darker hungers (the orb) for an altruistic purpose, but he also, obviously, destroys himself in the process. Very sad indeed.
Now, here’s something I find fascinating:
If Gale chooses not to use the crown, nor to surrender it to Mystra, but instead lets it remain in the water, the orb stays within him but rather than being a catastrophe it actually becomes harmless and inert.
Why does this happen? Gale speculates that it's because he has found contentment due to the player character's romance with him.
Clip sourced from this video: https://youtu.be/gikRKEIpvQs
This reveals something crucial: the orb, from the very beginning, was tied to his own emotions. It was basically an extension of him all along. He was inadvertently the one driving the orb’s power. It was his own despair and obsession that were indirectly killing him the entire time! It's very tragic but also supremely interesting!
It is this somewhat gut wrenching realization, though, that makes this the best "good" ending. He doesn't have to apologize to Mystra to get a happy ending out of pity. Instead, it is his own emotional catharsis that resolves the problem of the orb internally, rather than it being fixed through external means. It also has a sort of Jungian quality to it that I really like. With the idea of integrating and accepting all parts of oneself (allowing the orb to remain, but becoming settled and integrated), rather than trying to shed them being a theme I think fits his character well. Additionally, he keeps the orb scar, which looks pretty neat. :)

Double Fantasy
NewJeans Minji x Male Reader | (Tags: Smut)
Tumblr media
A/N: Apologies for the long hiatus, ya boi was busy with life. Also, thank you @kaedespicelatte as always for beta reading. ————————
“My room. I’m giving you 15 minutes or we’re never doing this again.”
Kim Minji be damned.
You hate how every ounce of self-respect you have flies out of the window when it comes to her, as if you’re nothing but an outlet for her carnal desires (as she was to you). And perhaps you are—maybe it was just part of your delusion to think that she perceives you differently than the hundreds of men that shamelessly ogle her. That she views you more than just that guy that fucks her so good she struggles to keep that mouth of hers shut. But who are you to complain? Every encounter with her leaves you starstruck, wanting for more, tongue tied—as if she commands an unquantifiable amount of gravity that leaves you speechless literally and figuratively. As much as your brain is telling you that she’s dangerous, that everything that’s happening between the two of you can jeopardize everything you’ve worked so hard for, it’s the thrill that keeps you coming back time and time again.
I mean who would’ve thought that the two top students on campus would be engaging in such unholy acts? Not when everyone (your professors included) think of you two as the embodiment of the values that this very institution was established upon. The beacons of hope that would serve as inspirations for the rest of your peers, that through hard work they can attain the level of success that you two have. That couldn’t be any more farther than the truth however. Certainly your after school hookups with her inside empty classrooms, behind the bleachers, and inside the gym showers would beg to differ. But it’s not like you have any morals, that disappeared eons ago when you found yourself down this treacherous path of self-destruction in an attempt to alleviate the stress that comes with such expectations and responsibilities.
On the surface their perception of you two is true; students that constantly receive top marks in every subject and find themselves involved in as many activities and clubs as possible. Racking up awards was just second nature, as you would always receive the highest recognition much like she did over the years. It was only natural for a rivalry to spark between you and her; a byproduct of your competitiveness and your desire to come out on top. It was friendly at first, you would congratulate each other and encourage the other to do better next time. But it soon became ugly, the once wholesome banter turning into horrifying insults that you wouldn’t even think to come out of your mouth—needless to say you both became jealous of each other, of how successful the other one became.
You could say it was a petty affair, one that was exacerbated by the fact that everyone was pressuring you two to continuously be the best—a mental strain that proved to be too much. It was something that only happened behind closed doors though, everyone still thought you had an amicable relationship with her when everything was actually already falling apart. Yelling and screaming and arguing, truly an ugly sight. You would often talk about how you couldn’t stand how condescending she was towards you every time you made a mistake and she in turn would talk about how much she hates your ego. But it also involved even the smallest of things including how you thought her boyfriend was a dick because she would rarely see him (she claimed he was busy all the time but you knew better).
And with two extremely combustible elements in constant interaction with one another, an explosion was bound to occur. After months and months of arguing, it finally happened. It was midterms week and you two were extremely stressed (it didn’t help that you were only getting on average two to three hours of sleep and consuming an unhealthy amount of energy drinks). Oh, and that dick of a boyfriend she had broke up with her. She was inconsolable to say the least— but when you brought up how much you didn’t like him and blamed her for dating him in the first place like the asshole you were, that's when things took a turn. You know you fucked up, that it was a line crossed and that such words should have never been uttered. But instead of receiving a resounding slap on the face, you found yourself kissing her. 
Or rather, Minji kissing you. And any sane person would react by trying to pull away in shock but you couldn’t find yourself doing it. Perhaps this was something that was bound to happen. All of those arguing and bickering, maybe it was just a ruse. The urgency, the passion, the look of desperation in her eyes; they told the story. Maybe it was the caffeine, maybe it was the adrenaline, maybe it was something more. Whatever it is, she needed you as much as you needed her. She was coming off a terrible breakup and you, well—you would be lying to yourself if you said that you didn’t find her attractive because who didn’t? There’s a reason why she’s rejected at least half of the male students, and you definitely don’t miss the way some of them would glare at you because of how suspiciously close you were to her. 
In that aspect, a part of you considers this a small victory; especially when she grabs you by the collar and pulls you in deeper, as if the thought of letting you go would be the end of her. It was intense and as much as your senses were firing from all cylinders, your brain was telling you that this wasn’t right. You were supposed to hate her, she was your mortal enemy. What would everyone think? That the two top students were hooking up with—close the fucking door before I change my mind. Right. Every rationale you may have had was gone in an instant. The prospect of a classmate, a member of the maintenance crew, or worse—a staff potentially catching the two of you never crossed your mind. Not when you had her bent over the desk at one point screaming you’re fucking me so good and don’t stop while you rearrange her guts. Or when you had her pinned against the wall and pumped her so full of cum that she finally gave you her number after because she wanted you two to do it all over again.
Did the room reek of sex? Sure. That’s why she’s made it a habit to bring a bottle of air freshener to mask the scent during your subsequent “study sessions.” And were people starting to notice how you two would frequently stay up late despite not always having a busy workload? Definitely. But you could care less. In fact, nothing else matters. You were addicted to her in more ways than one, not romantically however. That was something she made abundantly clear the day after—clearly she was one to establish boundaries which you respected. Yet here you are, frantically putting on some nice clothes and making yourself smell nice with that twenty dollar bottle of perfume that she hates. Fuck it, why even bother? Your clothes will be thrown to God knows where the moment you enter her place anyways. At least put on a face mask, especially since you’ll be sneaking your way to her dorm once again and you don’t want another close encounter with the security guard.
Fortunately there wasn’t any problem, your disguise actually worked this time around but you still have to be cautious. It’s a quick elevator ride yet it takes forever, maybe it’s because you two haven’t had sex in the past two weeks and you’re just dying to get a taste of her again, to feel her irresistible body against yours. Look around before knocking on the door three times and fortunately you didn’t have to wait any longer. Minji hastily pulls you inside and grabs you by your hoodie for a kiss—immediately you get a taste of her favorite cinnamon lip balm. Her strength (which still surprises you to this day) forces you to move backwards and you find your back pressed against her door. Hands roam each other’s bodies and you groan as you feel her fingers cup your bulge. Fuck, why are you so hard already? 
You’re not one to just let her do what she wants so you avoid her chasing lips to plant yours on her neck, biting and nipping on her smooth skin while your own fingers creep underneath her shirt. “D-Don’t fucking mark me. I—shit—I’ve got a presentation tomorrow.” Minji finally speaks and you would’ve gladly granted her wish but with the way she’s leaning her head back, it didn’t seem like her words were matching her actions. Much more so when you grab on the hem of that same shirt and pull it up and she willfully raises her arms so you can remove it. And before you even get the opportunity to appreciate her body, your sweatpants are already being pulled down. Help her out by kicking that obstructive garment away; in fact you end up removing your hoodie as well which only leaves you with your boxers on and it barely conceals your raging desire for her. 
“This is your fault. Your fault for making me wait so damn long.” You don’t miss the way she bites her lips at the sight of your bulge, even as you make your way further down with your mouth and proceed to mark her collarbones and her cleavage. Her deft fingers continue to distract you however, pulling your boxers down and wrapping her cold digits around your throbbing and pulsating cock. The effect on you is immediate as you can do nothing but lean your head back and groan shamelessly. Minji smirks, especially because this is one of the only few times she has the upper hand on you; when you’re just putty in her arms and rendered breathless by her actions. It gets even worse when she slowly begins to pump you, drawing more precum out of your tip with how badly you just want to ravage her. 
“You poor thing.” You can feel her hot breath against your ear, sending more shivers down your spine as she’s decided that it’s now her turn to leave marks on you. It’s apparent that Kim Minji is just as possessive as you, even though neither one of you wants to reveal your dirty little secret to everyone. “Guess you couldn’t last that long without me, huh? Were those pictures I sent not enough?” Of course they weren’t, no amount of thirst pics of her in her underwear can satiate your endless lust towards her. Nothing can replace her hands, the way she can just work you to submission and make you so impatient. “I can’t blame you.” Her teeth sink into your jugular like a vampire. “I’ve been thinking about how much I want you to rail me into the bed, to make me moan so fucking load, to make me choke on your cock. Will you do all of that for me?”
You’re ashamed by how much that turned you on, as if a switch has been flipped inside you. You don’t miss a beat and lift her up by her waist which makes her squeal; her legs wrap around you while you carry her towards her bed. No more foreplay, you almost throw her onto the bed before yanking her shorts and her panties in the process. They’re discarded along with the rest of your clothing somewhere in the room. Her bra follows suit as well—you can’t believe she’s had it on for this long. “Fuck, you don’t know how much I want to put a load in you. Until you’re filled with so much cum that all you can think about is my cock.” You spread her long legs open and it’s clear that everything she said is true; her clit is puffed and her inner thighs are already drenched with her juices. 
Kneel in front of her and carefully position your length inside her. “Gonna fuck you now.” Through gritted teeth, Minji nods; her fingers gripping your biceps while her legs are already pulling you in. You sink into her further and further, drinking her moans and whispered curses until you bottom out inside her. She still feels so good, so  tight, so warm. You have to silence her mouth with a kiss because her moans are increasing in volume as you gradually increase her pace. “So, so fucking good. You’re gonna drain me dry.” Feel her nails digging into your shoulders and back, you’re definitely going to feel the sting of the scratches she’s leaving tomorrow morning but that’s not your concern for now. A bite of your bottom lip further confirms that she’s in an equal state of euphoria and you respond by continuing to fuck her with the same pace and intensity.
You’re careful not to make the bed creak but that’s fortunately an art that you’ve already mastered given the circumstances. But even with her luscious thighs wrapped around you, it’s not enough to have her drunk on your cock, you want her to beg for it like her life depends on it. You pause for a brief moment much to her verbal disappointment before pressing her legs against her chest to effectively fuck her in mating press. You know it’s her favorite position because an uncharacteristically loud moan escapes her mouth the moment you resume your fucking, your fingers gripping the bedsheet for support. “F-Fuck! Please, keep fucking me. So—damn—big!” You’re going to have to kiss her again because she’s slowly losing her grip on her surroundings, only focused on how much you’re pounding her into the bed.
“This is what you wanted, right? I bet not even your toys can fuck you this deep.” Minji doesn’t answer but her body responds for her; a particularly deep thrust has her clinging on to you for dear life. Her breasts pressing up against you and followed by the rest of her body. Bury your face on the crook of her neck, inhaling her addicting scent as you can feel her tightening ever so slightly around your cock. It’s becoming more of an effort to thrust inside her now, especially when you’re fucking her balls deep with every motion of your hips. Only broken sentences and curses are leaving her mouth at this very moment, along with shameless moans of your name as if she’s not afraid to reveal to everyone just how much the model student is getting dicked down by her fellow model student.
Maybe she isn’t. Maybe that’s part of the thrill after all, the aspect of getting caught. But that’s not your worry at this moment; not when that said model student is beginning to tighten even more and her breathing is becoming more hurried. You pull away to look at her facial expression and it’s painted with nothing but lust. The way her face is misted with sweat, her eyes closed, and her mouth open. It’s clear that her orgasm is just right around the corner. “C-Coming! I’m so fucking close, don’t you dare fucking stop.” You don’t care that your abs are burning, that’s what those 7 AM workouts in the gym are for. It’s for moments like these, when her nails are damn near close to breaking your skin and tears are starting to well on her eyes. It then becomes your goal to break her, like you always do during these sessions.
And it’s during another particularly deep thrust that her orgasm hits her like lightning, her pussy becoming unimaginably tight as if she wants you to join her in her euphoria as well. She’s almost crying, her body twitching uncontrollably as you pin her down to the bed. Tears eventually do fall due to the overwhelming pleasure, that makeup that you’re only noticing now is completely destroyed. Her juices begin to soak your length and the sheets underneath. She’s biting her lips so hard that it’s starting to bleed, get rid of the blood by giving her open-mouthed kisses. But you’re so focused on helping her come down from her high that you don’t realize that you’re about to explode as well, Perhaps you might, because you’re starting to throb madly as you continue to fuck her through her powerful orgasm. 
You spread her legs as far as you can, pistoning into her with no abandon. More of her juices stream out and you’re almost apologetic because of the mess that she’s going to have to clean up. But it’s really hard to focus on anything else when her pussy is still pulsating, continuing to urge you to join her in her orgasm. “Need your cum inside me, don’t you dare pull out.” It’s not like you had any intentions to in the first place, not when her suffocating warmth is begging to drain your balls for everything it has. The tension is building, rising, culminating—one animalistic growl after you bottom out and you’re pumping ropes and ropes of semen deep inside her. It floods her walls, it overflows, and you just can’t stop pushing it as deep inside her as possible. To make sure that her womb is completely filled with your cum and nothing else. It’s downright euphoric, the way her name leaves your lips like it’s a mantra. The way all of it triggers a smaller, second orgasm from her—truly wringing you dry.
It takes minutes for your movement to come to a halt, and by then your orgasm has completely subsided and so has hers. You feel her arms pull you in for a kiss, a much slower and passionate one compared to earlier. As if she’s saying thanks, because her voice is probably already gone. Or perhaps she’s just preserving her energy because if there’s anything you know about Minji, it’s that one round is not enough for her. If that’s the case then you better get a quick rest. Pull out of her and watch your excess semen drip out of her and down to her thighs. It’s truly a sight that you’ll never get tired of time and time again. Even more so when she takes a finger and takes a sample of your combined juices. It doesn’t take too long for your cock to become fully erect once again despite your orgasm just mere minutes ago.
There’s no time to contemplate though as Minji saves you the trouble because the next thing you know her perfectly shaped ass is raised and facing you, her arms bracing herself on the bed as she clearly shows you what she wants. “Need you to cum in me again, can you do that for me?” There’s no more time to waste, take a glance at the bedside clock and it’s already way past midnight—any noise at this hour would further alert people. You quickly kneel behind her, positioning your cock once again inside her pussy but this time in a much swifter manner. But despite all of the lubrication she’s so much tighter in this position. Grab on her ass for support and leverage as you begin to thrust, it’s a sight to behold that is her curves and back covered with sweat and her hair becoming a disheveled mess. 
She’s much more silent this time, thanks to the fact that her moans are being muffled by the pillows. This slow tempo also gives you time to recover, though it’s clear that she wants you to be rough with her once again with the way she’s moving her hips in a back and forth motion. Fine, if that’s what she wants then that’s what she gets. Just thirty seconds is all you need to recover, especially when you’ve got that heavenly view in front of you. You grab her by the arms and pull her upright until her back is pressed against your chest, your hands palming her breasts as you suddenly increase your pace. It’s your favorite position because not only is her body pressed against yours but you can view everything about her up close—her ruined mascara, her swollen lip, the dried tears on her face. 
Your fingers slowly creep up to her neck as you fuck her with all of your remaining strength, quieting her with more kisses—also because you just love kissing the hell out of her due to how irresistible and soft her lips are. She might’ve had another orgasm already but you’re too far gone, too caught up in chasing your own that you don’t notice. Either way, it only takes ten minutes this time for you to unload whatever remaining load you had (which is surprisingly a lot considering that when you pull out, a copious amount of semen is dripping out of her now swollen pussy once again). Now you’re truly spent, crashing on her twin sized bed that can barely fit the two of you so you always end up cuddling post sex. And as crazy as it sounds, this is the part of this whole ordeal that you’re oh-so-afraid of. Will she hear how quickly your heart beats when her head is resting on it? Will she find out that you’re slowly starting to wish that there was more between you two? Despite the fact that it’s an incredibly terrible idea that could have major implications in your future?
“Take me out to dinner first.” Minji is the first one to break the silence and the words that come out of her mouth completely terrifies you—it almost makes you jump out of the bed.
“What?”
“I’m not stupid.” Minji looks up to you, then places a gentle kiss on the hickey she left on your neck. “We’ve been hooking up for five months and you’re telling me there’s no way you haven’t fallen in love with me yet?”
Maybe you have.
Then you remember how angry you felt when her boyfriend broke up with her and you couldn’t do anything about it; you just wanted to barge inside her room and hold her in your arms and apologize for being such a dick and you couldn’t. You wanted to tell her that she deserves better because she truly does, but whether it was you that deserved to take that place in her heart you didn’t know. You were mortified at the thought of your relationship only remaining at such a stage—even though she made it crystal clear that she didn’t want anything to develop between you two. But it’s all in the past now—which begs the question: have you truly fallen in love with her? It only takes one look at those eyes and the way her lips curl upwards and how she fits so perfectly in your arms and how you wish you could be with her forever and how it all completely fucks up your equilibrium.
Yeah.
Of course you have.

May I request Jacob finding his imprint after an earthquake or building collapse? Would love if you could make her plus size but if not it's ok!
ofc you can and i will make them plus size for you ! hope you enjoy :)
on earth - jacob x reader
Before he heard any more of the news, Jacob was on his way to the site.
Billy received a call from Charlie Swan, he had to attend a scene to help people from an Earthquake incident.
The pack felt it. The deep shatter of the Earth shaking like rattled old bones.
Jacob didn’t want to wear clothes but he had to. He couldn’t go shirtless like how he always does in duty or else, the secret would be out.
He was there before Charlie was. Something was pulling him to where the police had up yellow tape, resisting anyone who tried to duck under the tape.
His wolf scratched to get to the other side.
Charlie came in time, telling the officers, “He’s with me. Come on.”
Jacob’s eyes scoured through the rubble. His heart dropped once he saw that some of a building was crumbled.
He put his nose to the test, really trying to pick up a scent and it was delicious. Each step he took it became stronger and stronger. He followed it. He believed it would follow him to righteousness.
The pack pulled and helped survivors up from rubble. Some had injuries, some were just trapped and couldn’t get out of fallen materials.
He heard groans of a muffled, “help.”
His fast eyes studied through the haze of dust and destruction, but he found what he believed what he was looking for.
Underneath pieces of concrete and steel, was a figure that was definitely still alive. He could hear the erratic beating of your heart. You were scared.
Lifting pieces of concrete and debris, he found your eyes. Everything was lifted off of you, but you both felt like you both were lifting each other.
Jacob’s heart stopped. Your heart stopped. A connection. Recognition. Eyes continued to stay locked on each other.
He knew what was happening. You were binding him on Earth. It was his new favorite feeling. You were his favorite feeling. You felt completed. Safe.
A soft smile graced his lips as he helped you up. Overlooking you. You felt self cautious as your shirt was slightly ripped, exposing some skin due to all of the trouble.
He keeps an arm around you. He felt the part of exposed skin on your waist.
He would never forget the feeling. It was warm. Like him.
“Are you alright?” he asks you. You nod. This person was like your very own superhero.
Helping you walk, the air was thick with dust while the ground still shook with aftershocks.
A strained breath escaped you. The fallen wall of a building was on your chest and since you were free again, you wanted to speak.
“I thought….I was going to die like that…..I thought no one was ever going to find me..” you whisper in a rasp.
Jacob’s mind raced. Jacob’s heart raced. To lose you, meant losing everything. He didn’t like the thought of that.
“I wasn’t going to let that happen. I’m here.” he says as he rubbed your back. His statement was filled with confidence. It filled you with a surge of hope and your own confidence.
What he did next surprised you. Lifting you easily in his arms, you arms immediately go around his neck. It felt right. He thought so too.
Big strides were taken as he easily walked and stepped right over the crumbled materials. The world shook, the world crumbled, but he knew one thing for certain. He would be damned to be separated from you.
“What’s your name?” he asks gently. You shyly tell him. He repeats it.
You thought your name was just okay. But, after hearing him repeat it after you, made you fall in love with how it sounded.
“W-what’s your name?” you ask quietly. This man saved you with due diligence.
“Jacob.”
You think for a moment as he carried you closer to the EMT truck.
“Is it okay if I call you, Jake?” you ask.
The breathtaking smile almost made you faint.
“You can call me whatever you like.” he says. You smile back. It was contagious and you couldn’t help it.
He sits you down and wrapped a rescue blanket around you. He then couldn’t help it. He placed a gentle but featherlight kiss on the crown of your head. You felt warm and bubbly inside. So did he.
The bond you two have found, would never crumble. The connection you two had couldn’t be broken. Not by an earthquake and not by the world.

[And the curtain opens...!]
Tumblr media
[Image Description: a black and white banner gif showing Siffrin from In Stars And Time as he wanders through the third floor of the House. He is posed in the center of the image, faced to his left (viewer's right) as if moving in that direction. Behind him are four trailing repetitions of his image, each one losing opacity as they get further away, with a final fifth one having its values inverted, appearing instead as Mal Du Pays. Floating around them are six polaroid photographs, the first covering up the right half of Siffrin's face, showing instead a values inversion of it within its borders, their expression blank. Beyond that in order from closest to Siffrin to farthest away, the polaroids show Mirabelle, Isabeau, Odile, Bonnie, and one that is indistinguishable, all members of the party with their faces distorted out, while the last one is distorted beyond a potential for recognition. On the other side of Siffrin, to his left, is a flash-like burst evocative of a camera flash or a star (much like Loop's head), partially hidden over by Siffrin's shadow. Around the brick walls in the background and partially growing over the bottom left of the foreground can be seen the King's hair, and in the bottom right is text reading: "Darkroom | an ISAT Fanzine". The entire thing has been animated to look as if the lines around Siffrin, their shadows, and all the distortions over the polaroids are boiling, while light shines off from around the flash/star. End ID.]
[Hello, stardust~! How can I help you on this wonderful new loop?]
Welcome, everyone! This is the blog for the upcoming project, "Darkroom: an ISAT Fanzine". We are excited to finally announce our beginnings, and hope you will stick around to see what it is we have to offer!
Firstly, let us introduce ourselves. The mod team for this fanzine comprises of myself (@actingwithportals), as well as @voidedtea, @publiccmenace, @astrangeavenue, @sundimus, and @plasticteabag. Between the six of us, we have experience as leads, co-leads, moderators, and contributors on four individual fanzine projects, and are all excited to begin work on something new!
Now, let's get to the fun part, shall we?
[Darkroom: Negative Space, Long Exposure, Afterimage.]
The theming for this fanzine centers around the idea of distortions, how they obscure what we see and perceive, and how they can bring to light an entirely new perspective hidden behind the more easily comprehensible. In Stars And Time shows us throughout Siffrin's loops how the order of a carefully curated script can bring about a chaotic mental state, and how the chaotic breaking down of these self-imposed walls can bring about the order of accepting vulnerability.
Change is often destruction, and in the midst of that destruction can be found something beautiful, something to live for. This is the idea we hope to present through this fanzine.
[Fanzine Content.]
The Darkroom Fanzine will be a multi-media culmination of fanworks created by fans, for fans, and available for free download on Itch.io. Creations can vary anywhere from art, to writing, to music, to essays, to crafts, to whatever you can think of that you would like to see included in this project!
The only restrictions we will be enforcing is content that lies outside of the existing rating for the game, meaning no 18+ subject material.
However new you are to your Craft—whether it be writing, art, edits, collages, or anything beyond—your skills are welcomed here. From beginners to professionals, all are encouraged to apply! Once we hit an internally agreed upper limit of participants, we will lock the sign-up form should that limit be reached before the end date of the sign-ups occurs.
[Interest Checks.]
To kick this off, we are opening an interest check form to gauge interest for this project. The form will remain open from January 23rd through February 22nd, upon which the following day (February 23rd) the sign-up form will go live.
[Curtain Call.]
Thank you all for taking the time to read this far, and if you have any further questions/inquiries/concerns about this project, our askbox is open! Relatedly, you can also shoot us an email at [email protected].
INTEREST CHECK FORM HERE.
[See you under the Favor Tree soon, stardust~ ✨]

Anuradha Observations pt. 1 🕷️
Tumblr media
Anuradha, often known as the 'risk manager' nakshatra, is frequently chosen to portray the hero in films. I'd take it a step further and say that embodying this 'hero' archetype—trying to save everyone—often begins in their childhood.
Commonly found in the legal profession, specifically attorneys, thanks to its strong pattern recognition abilities when it comes to identifying potential harm. Those with this nakshatra excel at preventing disruption by analyzing trends and developing detailed, proactive solutions.
With the ingrained pressure to 'save' those around them since childhood, Anuradha natives often take on the role of damage control or harm prevention (influenced by Saturn). This can manifest in extreme—or at times even forceful—methods (driven by Mars) when protecting loved ones from self-destructive behavior.
As children, natives may have witnessed their parents go through intense 'tower moments'—experiences marked by the misuse of power or authority in destructive ways. These early exposures can lead them to adopt the hero archetype as a form of self-protection, becoming almost obsessive about preventing similar situations in their own lives others.
The mother may have exhibited a personality that was volatile—strategic, impulsive, and at times violent—an aspect of her that only the Anuradha child seemed to witness or be affected by. In contrast, the father may have been cold, authoritative, and highly traditional, yet still commanded more respect within the family dynamic than the mother.
There’s a noticeable pattern among the men of having a complex, often intense bond with the mother. While there may be deep emotional closeness, the relationship can carry an undercurrent of power dynamics. The native might find himself in a caretaker role—feeling a strong sense of duty to provide for his mother—even if the treatment he receives is emotionally taxing. In many cases, the mother maintains a certain control or autonomy over the native, reinforcing a dynamic where love and obligation are deeply entangled.
This dynamic often extends beyond the mother-child relationship, as Anuradha natives may unconsciously recreate similar karmic patterns in their other relationships. They may attract or feel drawn to people who take advantage of their loyalty and protective nature.
Much like Jupiter-ruled nakshatra men—particularly Purva Bhadrapada—who may find themselves being taken advantage of for their material generosity without receiving genuine reciprocation, Saturn-dominant men often experience relationships through a more transactional lens.
With Saturn's influence, Anuradha's connections tends to be a strong emphasis on 'give and take'—a sense of unspoken contracts or duties that govern emotional and material exchange. This can create connections that feel more like obligations than organic bonds, where love or friendship is measured by responsibility and endurance rather than ease or reciprocity.
Often have a wide circle of friends—they instinctively understand that relationships are, at their core, transactional. To them, investment—whether emotional, energetic, or material—is a form of devotion. They don’t enter friendships lightly; there’s a quiet expectation of longevity and mutual commitment. When they make a friend, it’s with the intention that this bond will stand the test of time, bound by an unspoken agreement of loyalty and support.
One of the few nakshatras where it’s common to see ex-partners remain in the native’s life as friends. If a connection still holds value, whether emotionally, socially, or energetically, Anuradha is unlikely to cut ties. There’s a deep-rooted belief in preserving bonds, especially when the relationship continues to serve a purpose.
Furthermore, they make surprisingly good exes, as they rarely let emotions override the value of a meaningful connection. Even when a relationship ends, they have the emotional maturity and strategic awareness to maintain the bond if it's still mutually beneficial. For them, practicality often takes precedence over pride.
Because Anuradha tends to accumulate a large and loyal social circle, they can sometimes fall into the habit of ‘breadcrumbing’—offering small doses of attention or energy to many people rather than deeply investing in a few. Their desire to maintain long-term bonds can lead them to stretch themselves too thin, trying to be everything for everyone. It can eventually lead to burnout or emotional depletion.
Due to the influence of Mitra, Anuradha natives are often unconditionally loving and profoundly forgiving, offering grace and second chances even when others may not deserve it. Yet beneath that generous heart lies a deep-rooted fear of being used or taken advantage of. This inner conflict creates a quiet tension—they want to give freely, but part of them is always scanning for signs of betrayal or imbalance.
Often exerts a quiet form of control in their relationships—whether mentally, emotionally, or even physically. They tend to guide the flow of connection, setting the pace and tone, often without the other person fully realizing it.
However, when it comes to ending a relationship, they may struggle to take direct action. Instead of initiating closure, Anuradha might allow the bond to naturally decay or grow stale, subtly pushing the responsibility of ending things onto the other person. This indirect approach allows them to avoid the guilt or discomfort of finality while still maintaining a sense of internal order.
Have a network of friends that act as informants or 'spies,' subtly gathering information on the native’s behalf. Whether it’s critical business insights, social dynamics, or hidden motives, Anuradha relies on these trusted allies to keep them informed. Their relationships often double as strategic alliances, built not just on loyalty, but on the ability to exchange valuable knowledge.
The type that would come back after going 'no contact', no matter how long it's been, and act as if nothing happened if you made their life better in some way.
Embodies the energy of the reversed Tower card in tarot—where the true struggle lies not in the chaos of change, but in resisting it. While outwardly structured and strategic, Anuradha often clings to crumbling foundations, trying to preserve what no longer serves them out of loyalty, fear, or obligation.
Their instinct is to maintain control, to manage the damage, but in doing so, they may delay the very transformation their soul is calling for. The lesson lies in learning to surrender to necessary endings, rather than clinging to familiar ruins. This may show up in having a hard time letting go of sentimental objects, where they’ll allow things to either become rotten, damaged, and near impossible to reconstruct.
Could be into taxidermy or wet specimen as a hobby.
Ruled by Mitra, the deity of friendship and harmony across all realms, this compassionate nature may lead them toward veganism or vegetarianism, driven by a desire to minimize harm.
Likely to have a strong affinity for animals, often surrounding themselves with pets throughout their lives as a natural extension of their nurturing spirit.
Natives are also noted for striking features—green or hazel eyes are not uncommon.
Prone to developing mysterious or hard-to-diagnose illnesses—often ones that subtly drain their energy, stamina, or vitality over time. True to Saturn’s slow and disciplined rhythm, the journey to diagnosis and healing is rarely straightforward. It can take years of trial, error, and deep self-reflection before finding the right treatment or approach. Yet through this, Anuradha often gains profound insight, resilience, and empathy—transforming suffering into wisdom.
Tend to internalize their emotions, often appearing calm, composed, and even emotionally distant. While Mars rules their energy and drive, Saturn filters it through restraint and contemplation. They are slow to react, rarely impulsive, and often choose thought over expression.
However, when pushed to their limit, their anger can emerge as sharp, cold, and cutting—revealing the inner turmoil they've worked so hard to contain. This shift can be startling to others, as it exposes a depth of feeling that Anuradha rarely shows.
One of the greatest powers of Saturn-ruled nakshatras, like Anuradha, lies in their ability to never take anything for granted. They understand the value of time, effort, and experience—often through hardship—and channel that awareness into building lasting abundance. What they lack in impulsive luck, they make up for with steady, disciplined devotion.
Anuradha, having learned deep life lessons—both from their own pain and from observing the mistakes of others—they become highly determined to eliminate unnecessary risk or shocking transformations. Survival becomes a strategy, and their growth is often rooted in self-master

ahhhhhhh omgggg i am obsessed with your writing brooo

hope your having day or nighttt
“Wreck Me Softly” – Killer Chat LIs x Self-Destructive Reader Headcanons
Hey, sweetheart—thanks for the request! If you’re here for a little pain wrapped in obsession, you’re in the right place. These killers see your cracks and still want more.
Hope you enjoy every second of the spiral. <3
written by yuukskillsworld<3
WARNINGS: Heavy emotional themes: self-destructive behavior, intrusive thoughts, low self-worth, comfort after emotional distress, protective/possessive behavior in some characters, mild language and intensity, hurt/comfort dynamics, please take care while reading. If you're struggling, you deserve real-world support too—fiction is comfort, but your well-being matters more.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ronin Beaufort
⁠♡ Immediate Recognition: Ronin sees through the facade instantly. You can joke, smile, or pretend—but he notices the tremble in your hands when no one else is watching. He's lived that kind of quiet pain and never overlooks it.
♡ Silent Vigilance: He doesn’t confront you right away. Instead, he watches from the sidelines, eyes sharp with concern. “You gonna tell me what’s eatin’ at you, or do I gotta dig it out myself?”
♡ Protective Fury: When your pain becomes undeniable, Ronin gets angry—but not at you. It’s a raw, helpless rage aimed at the world that’s hurting you. “You matter more than you act like, darlin’. Start believin’ it—or I’ll make you.”
♡ Subtle Care: He shows love through action, not words. Drapes his coat over your shoulders, hands you water without a word, or simply sits beside you, thigh to thigh. His presence is constant, grounding.
♡ Internal Spiral: When you fall apart, so does he—quietly, inwardly. He blames himself, wonders if he’s too damaged to help. His greatest fear is losing you the way he’s lost others.
♡ Fear in Disguise: If you take a reckless risk, his reaction is sharp. Loud. Scared. “You think this world wouldn’t end if I lost you? ‘Cause I promise you—it would.”
♡ Soothing Aftermath: But after the storm, he softens. Always. He holds you close, forehead against yours. “You don’t have to be okay. Just… stay. Let me help you carry it.”
♡ Unconditional Commitment: He doesn’t want to fix you—just wants you here, alive, with him. If it takes holding your broken pieces together every night until they start healing, then that’s exactly what he’ll do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maria de la Rosa (Angel)
⁠♡ Immediate Recognition: Angel quickly notices the signs of your self-destructive behavior. Her intuition and experience make her sensitive to subtle changes in your demeanor.
⁠♡ Protective Instincts: She becomes fiercely protective, often going out of her way to shield you from harm, even if it means confronting others or taking drastic measures.

⁠♡ Encouraging Professional Help: Understanding their own limitations, Misaki gently suggests seeking professional support, emphasizing that it's a sign of strength, not weakness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

Tumblr media
𝑼𝒏𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒔: They can experience fears of being restricted or confined, which can show up in different areas of their life such as relationships, careers, or personal beliefs. These fears can lead to self-destructive behaviors like avoiding commitments and rebelling against authority or societal expectations. Additionally, they might struggle with feelings of responsibility, often because they have a deep fear of losing their independence and overall freedom.
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓: Your dark feminine energy resides in your capacity to shift perspectives and embrace exploration in all areas of life. You are a natural philosopher and sage, adept at guiding others into uncharted territory by showing them what true freedom and authenticity looks like!

This alignment can elevate you from mere rebellion to a genuine pursuit of authentic truth and deeper wisdom. 👁️
𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆: Remember, you have the right to your independence, but it’s equally important to cultivate a balance between your sense of freedom and responsibility..Setting boundaries around your time and commitments will help you stay grounded. Be mindful of how you express yourself. Even though your direct expression can be honest and authentic, it can sometimes unintentionally offend or hurt others. It’s not your responsibility to be liked, but you can still communicate your truth with grace and light the way forward without burning bridges.

𝑼𝒏𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒔: They have a strong desire for independence and place a high value on their autonomy. While these qualities are not inherently negative, they can sometimes manifest as recklessness and impulsivity. This might look like acting first and thinking later, without fully considering the consequences of their actions. Unprocessed anger can also lead them into difficult situations, especially if they struggle to express or manage it in a healthy way, which may create a sense of internal turmoil that they could find hard to balance within.
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓: Your dark feminine energy manifests in your courageous and fierce nature.

𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆: You would likely benefit from letting go of the need to control everything and trusting the process. Trust that as long as you stay true to yourself, you will be aligned with the right path. While your independence is a source of strength, allow yourself to rely on others when needed. Even the strongest individuals can benefit from support. Surround yourself with trusted people who have your back. Remember, you also deserve to be fought for and supported.

𝑼𝒏𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒔: They could struggle with issues related to validation and recognition. They might have a deep desire to be seen and appreciated beyond what they can simply present externally. This can lead them to seek attention and approval from others, often relying on external validation rather than trusting their own inner worth. They may even crave the spotlight and recognition, but simultaneously fear being overlooked or rejected. Additionally, they might suppress their authentic self-expression to gain approval from others, which can be due to a fear of vulnerability and revealing their true selves.
𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓: Your dark feminine energy radiates through the fierce self-love you have for yourself! You must embrace your authentic expression without relying on external validation. Your worth is inherent and not dependent on the approval of others. You are a trendsetter and a source of inspiration for many. Therefore, you truly have nothing to prove. At the same time, make sure you stay humble yet confident, understanding that your energy carries a significant responsibility. 👑
𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆: Remember, your true power lies in your ability to fully embrace yourself and reflect your inner light, illuminating the path for others during times of darkness. Don’t be afraid to shine and never let anyone dim your light. Also, be mindful not to let others use you for your warmth. Set boundaries around who has access to your radiance. Either way, you are meant to shine and deserve to be seen in your entirety. After all, you are the sun. ☀️

My First Astro Note 🤍
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Natal Chart
- MC is who you want to become in relation to others’ recognition and approval. NN is who your soul wants to be independent of others. In spiritual terms, it can be outer manifestations versus inner knowing.
- MC is what you bring into the physical world. It is the bridge between heaven and earth, the material and non-material. That’s why it’s often associated with career and public image. Self-mastery and reaching your full potential.
- NN is where your soul will learn to recognize itself the most:
For example, NN in 8th house will learn about itself the most through surrendering to another. To share instead of possess. To dissolve the self into someone else and realize the oneness of everything.
NN in 2nd house may learn about itself through possessing and then letting go. To achieve and then realize that nothing is permanent. All one ever possesses is who they are at the core.
———————————————————————————
- When evaluating attractiveness, I often look to the 2nd house more than the first. The first is super important of course! But the 2nd house is like the accessories and adornments. The first house is the base outfit and the 2nd is all the extra details that make the first house stand out even more.
Maybe it’s my Virgo Venus or something, but beauty to me lies in the details. Memorable beauty is not always in your face. It’s subtle and it makes you wonder about it. That’s why the deeper layer of the 2nd house can be so indicative of charm that goes beyond the physical.
With that being said, I think Venus and Pluto in 2nd house are often found in very attractive people, even when they’re not conventionally good-looking.
Venus in 2nd house is enchanting, really. They are sensual and deeply connected to their physical body and senses. They enhance whatever experience you’re having. If you’re eating a meal, they know what to add to bring out the flavors even more. They know what fragrance to use for what purpose. They just understand how things visually work together. And their voice is sweet and coy and irresistible. They weave themselves into your senses to the point where you begin to think about them whenever you experience pleasure.
Pluto in 2nd is magnetic. It is the hidden charge in someone’s energy that you can’t physically pinpoint. It is in their voice, the slight strain that makes you wonder what they’re holding back. It’s the slight force of power wanting to dominate. It is the subtle, Taurus-infused energy of elegance and authority. Being around them make you want to submit without them needing to exert power or control. You just want to because they seem so solid and stable. But it’s Pluto so they’re also destructive and dangerous. But human nature always seems to yearn for what is dark and painful but pleasurable.
