Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Finally getting around to this one! Thanks to @justhere4thevibez for the tag, love â¤ď¸
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
17, but the depths of LJ have a few more
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
235,247 across two fandoms
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Stranger Things â specifically Hellcheer, though there are three Eddie-centric ones in there (each with a Hellcheer nod). And I used to write Gilmore Girls.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I'm gonna focus on ST as that's been my main focus for a while now.
Bruise Pristine
Two guys, a girl, and a cheerleader
Being Human
In Focus
For a good time call Mary Jane
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yep! I'm so grateful that someone took the time to comment on something I wrote, and I want them to know that! Commenting can be difficult and I like to acknowledge that and give a little kudos in return. Plus, I love engaging with fellow fandomers! As a reader, I like to let someone know I liked their fic with more than kudos if I have the spoons to do it, and I love when an author responds to me when I comment.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
While there can be angst in the ship fic I write, I generally like to give a happy ending. Some can be bittersweet, but not out and out angsty. My ships tend to be canonically tragic, so I want HEAs.
In saying that, Backpack, though short, is definitely not sweet. It's canonical so... yeah.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
As I said, I do tend towards the happier end of the scale (she says, lying through her teeth). I think my two long multi-chapter Hellcheer fics Two guys, a girl, and a cheerleader and Being Human are quite movie-happy ending. And shout out to the Gilmore Girls kind of fix-it Not Time's Fool because that was tooth-achingly sweet, especially with the follow-up Letters to a Lost Love.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nnnnooo, not really? There was one weird one who berated me for writing Literati (GG) when I had the gall to comment and enjoy a fic with a different ship, which was bizarre. Actually, the almost-hate comments tended to be in GG â people can be very cutting when it comes to Rory. The Hellcheer fandom thankfully tends to love both characters equally, and have been nothing but gracious and accepting.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Boy, do I! Try and STOP me writing it â it always sneaks in. F/M and explicit. Ventured into kink a little bit with For a good time call Mary Jane. My smut also tends to be emotionally driven, I can't do PWP.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Not crossover in terms of characters from two different fandoms interacting (though there was a Supernatural/J2 done in the style of Fight Club back in the day that was WILD). But my two multi-chaps are based on other shows with ST characters kinda merged with the originals or similar storylines (New Girl and Being Human), but the supernatural elements aside in the latter neither are crazy!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, I don't know how it would work but I'm open to it! I spitball a lot with lovely @justhere4thevibez and we've tossed around ideas the other has caught; my dearheart @barriss helped with d&d stuff in fic, and I thrash ideas around with my discord gremlins a lot, so the parts that appear in fic makes it feels like a collab â¤ď¸
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
Hellcheer till I die
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I have a ton of Hellcheer ideas in the wings â maybe not all of them will come to fruition, but everything I've actually started writing will be finished, I hope.
I do, however, have an unpublished chapter of Literati that I absolutely love, but I ran out of steam as it was going to be a big undertaking, and then I kinda left that fandom so I doubt I'll ever go back to the fic, unfortunately. Pity, coz what I wrote was đĽ in my humble opinion LMFAO
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I do snappy dialogue well â I love banter, the flow. I like to think I'm funny too, though I feel very Milhouse "my mom thinks I'm funny" when I say that. I also see things in a cinematic way â the scene, the setting, placement, lighting etc â which I think comes across in my writing. At least, I hope it translates to the page!
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I suck at planning. I have an idea and I go from there and down the line I'm like "Ohhhh fuck, where was I going with this, how do I do this, WTF IS HAPPENING", and then I panic, can't write, spiral. It mostly comes good in the end (except that GG one, RIP). Self-doubt is the fic-killer.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've never written a character who speaks another language, so have thankfully avoided that pitfall, but I would ask someone who speaks the language to help out, if possible. Google Translate ain't great, but it'll do in a push for some things.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Supernatural waaaaaaaaaay back in the day. When season 1 first came out and they were still battling the yellow-eyed demon and MotW. Ahhh, good, simpler times.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
I think my New Girl fic, Two guys, a girl, and a cheerleader. I had a blast seeing how the characters could blend together while still being themselves, as well as using plots from the show to make a full, coherent storyline. I'm ridiculously delighted with the d&d elements of that too â I was so happy with how the True American chapter came out, and I'm very lucky to have had Sabrina's insider knowledge for that to make it what it was â¤ď¸
Though I had great craic writing Mary Jane... And Blood moon sex magick... and I love the Eddie-centric canon-compliant(ish) Back to the Front. Sure look, you gotta be your own biggest fan đ
That was so much fun! I don't know who hasn't done this yet, so I'm tagging @gingertumericlemon @windowsandfeelings @watercoloredlie

Big question I have: who are your top 10 favourite Awakening characters from the First Generation and why?
This one will be fun :D also same disclaimer I always say: these arenât in any particular order except for number one, because he really is number one.
Thatâs pretty much how all my lists go, lol.
Priam. This man is perfect and wonderful in so many ways; before I played Awakening, I watched all the confessions of the male characters, saw him, and went âTHAT ONE. HEâS THE ONE .â He left me smitten even before I knew anything about him, like him being Ikeâs descendent, and Iâve always been drawn more towards the âAvatarsexualsâ. The game always tries to play him off as annoying, but heâs just incredibly passionate about gaining strength. Heâs actually pretty passionate about everything he does, especially when he confesses that heâs fallen in love with you. His confession portrait has to be one of the most romantic in the game:

Priam is a hulking beast of a warrior but here, heâs kneeling down in front of you, having taken his gloves off so he can hold your hand in his (no one else does this by the way) while he gazes adoringly into your eyes. Combine that with how powerful and handsome he is, heâs my ultimate husband choice in Awakening. The only downside is how far in the game he is before you can recruit him (Chapter 25) but heâs worth it.
2. Aversa. I like a lot of SpotPass characters, and I like Aversa for her extra lore. Most people hate the SpotPass characters for turning the villains âgoodâ, but I think itâs neat that the bad guys help defeat the TRUE villain pulling the strings (and itâs not like bad guys like Validar became good). Aside from that, Aversa is actually a sweetheart who struggles with making friends because she feels like she doesnât deserve it (in her supports with M!Robin at least). It definitely makes her one of the more interesting female Awakening characters.
3. Vaike. WHEN, IS??? WHEN ARE WE GETTING TEACH??? Hereâs hoping heâs not a demote when we get him⌠heâs a cool dude and his support with Sully is actually pretty touching, they were made for each other.
4. Frederick. I think Frederick (along with Dedue) is actually one of the nicer vassal characters in Fire Emblem, because Jakob can kind of be an asshole sometimes and Hubert is⌠Hubert. Heâs diligent, cares about others, and holds the Shepherds together.
5. Gregor. The dude is SO overlooked as âhaha funny Russian manâ despite the fact that heâs powerful as fuck and even could have been a Khan of Regna Ferox if he wanted to. And RESOURCEFUL, the fact that he knew how to do Cordeliaâs makeup is impressive. Plus I think heâs the best dad for Severa (I actually headcanon that Severa is bilingual in Gregorâs homeland tongue and it comes out when sheâs pissed off at something or someone). Great dude and Iâm glad he got added to FEH.
6. Gangrel. I said it. He works great as an antagonist and heâs a fun ally with a fascinating backstory (he kind of reminds me of Askeladd from Vinland Saga). Itâs actually really sad to me that he dies a horrible death if he doesnât support with F!Robin, Iâd have liked for him to have loved to do SOMETHING.
7. Kellam. NO END. IâVE HEARD NO END TO THE INVISIBILITY JOKES. I GET IT. I will ALWAYS acknowledge my boy. Heâs such a sweetheart and I adore his support with Olivia. He better get a prf when he gets added to FEH or I will riot.
8. Panne. She turns into a bunny. I like her.
But also she has a great backstory.
9. Virion. Ok yes heâs silly and goofy and flirts with anything that looks remotely female and walks on two legs. But if you read his Support with F!Robin (definitely one of the most sincere supports of the game in my opinion), heâs actually a very noble and caring guy. Especially during one of the DLCs where he sells an heirloom dagger for an old couple who was sick, and refuses to be acknowledged in any way or form for doing so. Heâs got a great heart.
10. Mustafa. Does this count? Probably not but I wanna give him a shoutout anyways. Iâm mad that HE wasnât a SpotPass character, as cool as Walhart was, I would have preferred Mustafa. At least he got added to FEH, Iâll take what I can get.
Special additional shoutouts to Olivia, Sully, Lonâqu, and Yenâfey, theyâre also really cool. I do like the other characters (especially Maribelleâs support where she knows how to talk like a sailor) but Iâd prioritize these guys on the list.

Good Mental Health!
America's Loneliest Era!
(from the Washington Post)
Our Lady of Mary's Month!
Pray the Rosary!
Mental Health Month!
Jesus the Way to the Father
14Â âDo not let your hearts be troubled. Believe[a] in God; believe also in me. Â 2Â In my Fatherâs house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[b] Â 3Â And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. Â 4Â And you know the way to the place where I am going.â[c] Â 5Â Thomas said to him, âLord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?â Â 6Â Jesus said to him, âI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Â 7Â If you know me, you will know[d] my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.â
8 Philip said to him, âLord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.â  9 Jesus said to him, âHave I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, âShow us the Fatherâ?  10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.  11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, but if you do not, then believe[e] because of the works themselves.  12 Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.  13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  14 If in my name you ask me[f] for anything, I will do it. (John 14:1-14 NRSVEU)
Mental Health Awareness Month What it is: May is mental health awareness month, making mental health and suicide prevention bigger topics than ever. #mentalhealthmatters has around 42 billion views on TikTok, and #mentalhealthawareness has racked up 20 billion. Why the conversation is changing: The CDCâs Youth Risk Behavior survey showed that suicidal ideation, especially for teenage girls, is continuing on a concerning trajectory. In 2021, 30% of girls said that they had seriously considered suicide in the past year, and 24% said they had an actual plan to end their life. According to data published by Mental Health America, 16.4% of youth reported experiencing a major depressive episode within the last 12 months. This news comes at a time when adults are feeling so lonely that the US surgeon general has declared loneliness a public health emergency. Stigma around mental health topics appears to be eroding, but that isnât necessarily leading to better mental health outcomes for teens and for the population at large.
Conversation Starter: What do you think are the biggest contributors to mental health issues for your generation? (Check out our new video series on Mental Health for more help having this conversation!)Â
-----------------------------------------------------------
What is good mental health? In his book, Ash Wednesday, J. R. Mabry has the Sheriff say: "If I have learned anything from my mother, Jake, it's there are no good people. There are only people in various stages of being fu. .cked up. Some less, some more."
Good mental health is the ability both to value life and to engage in a life of affirming other people and creatures and value their lives as we do our own, seeing them as independent from us. Good mental health means the ability to behave differently depending upon the circumstances and not expect every thing go our way. Good mental health is our ability to see everyone, regardless of social status, sexual identification, and color, simply as a fellow human being.
"In Christ there is no east or west. in him no pride of birth, the chosen family God has blessed now spans the whole wide earth. For God in Christ has made us one from every land, race, and sexual orientation, has reconciled us through the Son, and met us all with Grace."
We live in America's loneliest era. Our country is so divided, we stay buried in our social media and do not talk to one another, and most importantly listen. Good mental health means to"shelter our souls." For me it means to dwell in Jesus. "Dwelling in Jesus", means to be open to all, to listen, letting them find good mental health, and a "dwelling in whatever their belief in the Higher Power."
Recently a young man came to my place. He was well dressed, and he said don't you remember me, and I said, "Well, I am not sure," "You knew me as "Chaos", who at fifteen had been high on fentanyl and knocked me down, sending me on a two year journey of recovery. He said:
"You simply forgave me, and continued to be my friend...and for the next year you simply listened when I came to your house, even in pain you listened." Through our listening I found a Higher Power in AA." I went home to my parents, and am now in college. I keep a photo of you in my wallet to remind me you care and you listen, never judging."
Listening saves lives, simply listening with out judgment.
The word "dwell" is related to an old English word for "heresy" or "madness". Perhaps it is a sort of insanity to believe that God dwells here, with us.
Or that, somehow, resurrection is an end to our exile, and an invitation to come home to God. If so, the madness is the long-lingering hope of the human race, the dream to dwell. Not only a hope, however it is hard work, this effort to shelter our souls.
To "dwell" means we struggle as a family with all people in finding safety in life, in finding "good mental health".
None of us are "good", but we try as hard as we can and move from the stage of evil ultimately into the fullness of God, the fullness of accepting all as a reflection of Jesus of Nazareth--black, white, brown, blue, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning and all in between. The fullness of good mental health.
In the midst of our fears and uncertainty and old Methodist hymn, one upon which I was raised and one that will be sung at my funeral rings out:
"O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home."
Deo Gratias! Thanks be to God!

Y O U R Â P E R S P E C T I V E
I could feel my heart thumping in my throat.
I was nervous.
But I was always nervous on my first day on the job.
I mean who isn't, right?
I've had several jobs before, some simple ones like waiting tables and such.
But never something significant.
I looked out of the window of the cab, watching the streets flash by.
Who would've thought that my first job out of college would be something so big?
Certainly not me.
When I had applied my resume to the vacancy the Big Hit Entertainment had put out, I'd never expected to actually get it. After all, I barely had any experience and I had just gotten out of college.
Nervously I played with my hair as I watched the sun slowly set, outside of the car window.
The job description had been vague, and during the job interview, the workers didn't give me much information about what it was exactly they wanted me to do.
All I knew was this: 1. It would be a 24/7 job. Meaning no time for friends or family. Not that I had any since I had immigrated to Korea. 2. The paycheck was enormous. If my calculations were correct, and I could keep doing this job for at least 5 years, saving up most of my salary (not that I would have time to spend it anyway), I would almost be settled for life. 3. Anything that I would experience should be kept secret. This had been very important to the bosses since they had mentioned it several times during my interview. I was not to talk to anyone outside my job about the job. Not even the bosses themselves. 4. I would get instructions from my clients about what it is that I should do exactly.
This last point had helped me a lot while trying to figure out what the hell it was they wanted from me. Apparently, I had several clients: I would have to work for or manage multiple people. Since Big Hit Entertainment was a company that managed many k-pop stars, I imagined it would be probably a new group that was about to debut or something.
They probably expected me to help them with their schedule or something, making sure they'd be on time for practices and whatnot.
But then, why would the clients be the ones to instruct me? Surely if this was the case, the bosses would instruct me, not the client?
'We're here,' the cab driver spoke. I blinked.
The cab had stopped in front of a large concrete entrance, that had guards and a barrier guarding and checking everyone that came in and out of the place.
'Oh,' I breathed. My heart pounded loudly.
'Do you need any help with your bags?' the cabbie offered politely.
'No need, thank you,' I thanked him. After all, I only had one suitcase.
I paid the cabbie and got my stuff out of the trunk.
The cab immediately drove off into the night.
I wasn't sure what to do. Nervously I walked up to one of the guards at the entrance.
'Erm, hello,' I started, my voice slightly shaking.
The guard didn't say anything.
'I'm y/n and I'm starting my new job today and I was told this was the address...' I said, my voice trailing away as the guard stared down at me unblinkingly.
I wasn't sure what next to say. I didn't even know what my job description was.
I looked at the space behind the gates. It reminded me a lot of a luxury hotel or apartment complex. The ones you would see in k-dramas where the CEOs would live.
Definitely not a place a group that still had to debut would live. They could never afford it. I could never afford it.
'Identification,' the guard said unexpectedly.
I quickly rummaged through my bag and pulled out my passport, giving it to him.
The guard inspected it carefully, before giving it back to me.
'Follow me,' he commanded, walking away with big steps.
I had to run to keep up with him. I had barely any time to look around properly.
There were large condos stacked upon one another. Separate buildings, all with large windows and luxurious-looking balconies and gardens.
This had to be a place where big celebrities lived.
'In here,' the guard said after a while, leading me into one of the large uniform buildings.
The more I saw of the place the more my thoughts were confirmed. This was NOT a place for a rookie idol group.
'This door,' the guard said suddenly when we were standing in front of a large wooden door. He abruptly turned around and walked away.
'Thanks,' I mumbled.
I stared at the high door.
Dear god, what had I gotten myself into?
I closed my eyes shut for a moment and took a deep breath.
Calm your mind
I pressed the doorbell.
'Who is it?' a male voice came from the little speaker
'Hi, I'm y/n. I'm here for the... job?' I said hesitantly, not knowing what else to call it.
The door gave a buzz and I pushed it to open. It was a very heavy door so it took some effort because I was using one hand to hold my suitcase.
With my backside first I entered the hallway, closing the door behind me.
I turned around and my heart skipped a beat.
A group of young men was standing in the hallway, looking at me with curiosity and interest.
I quickly bowed deeply at them.
'Good evening, my name is y/n' I reintroduced myself.
I straightened my back and saw all of them smirk at each other.
A quick count told me there were seven of them. Seven men from, what I guessed, my age. All with different hair colors and postures.
And all very, very handsome...
I nervously smiled at them as they exchanged peculiar looks with each other.
'You'll do just fine,' the tallest man said. He winked at me and grinned.
I could feel my cheeks getting hot.
Oh, dear...

Part 1 Here! / Part 2 Here! / Part 3 Here! / Part 4 Here! / Part 5 Here! / Part 6 Here! / Part 7 Here! / Part 8 Here! / Part 9 Here! / Part 10 Here!
A/N: I apologize for all the profanity in this part ahead of time. I think Iâm going to do M/W/Sat updates, as long as my writing permits, and then maybe Wed/Sat updates. I got the day off because it snowed so I thought I would post this since itâs ready haha
* Well youâre royally f*cked
* Thereâs a big stupid smile curled on your face, and every time you try to hide it, it just comes back wider
* You really shouldnât be happy right now
* âWhat has you in such a good mood?â Edwardâs got a matching smile of his own.
* Oh shit. Itâs fine, youâll just play dumb.
* âHow do you know Iâm happy?â How about the dumb grin youâve got on your face you stupid b*tch.
* You would have smacked your own forehead if you werenât aware Edward was watching your every move
* Youâre lucky Edwardâs nice and he doesnât call you out on it
* âWhenever youâre happy it kind of radiates off of you,â his voice lowers âyou know because of your powersâ
* Ah, you didnât know you did that
* âSo what do you think about the new girl?â You blurt it out like itâs an intrusive thought
* F*ck. Just-okay just play it cool. Play it cool.
* F********ckkkkk whatâs wrong with you.
* Is being happy making you act like a moron?
* He shrugs
* âJust another human, I kind of wish everyone would shut up about it though. Having to hear people talk about her and think about her is getting annoying. Itâs like being in a tunnel with one too many echoes.â
* Ah, so he hasnât noticed yet.
* âI wonder what sheâs thinking about.â
* Edward just shrugs again.
* What the f*ck Edward take a hint!
* âEdward?â
* âYes dear?â He has the nerve to grin after using that pet name. The criminal is teasing you. Some best friend.
* And still it makes you outrageously happy
* You have to force your smile into a straight line
* âWhatâs the new girl thinking?â
* He looks over to her, Tyler and Mike are fighting for her attention, both of them a moment away from tugging on each arm and shouting âmine!â
* You see him search, youâve heard enough about his powers to know right now itâs like mall food court level of chatter for him, but in a few seconds heâll focus on her and realize he canât hear her thoughts.
* Knowing how prideful he is though, heâll probably deny it.
* âI donât know I canât read her mindâ he says bluntly. âDo you think the school music teacher would teach me how to play violin if I asked?â
* âWhat?!?â
* âI know itâs kind of inconsiderate to ask but-â you click your tongue
* âNo not that!â You gesture towards Bella âyou canât read her mind?!? Isnât that kind of a big deal?â
* His eyebrows thread together
* âI canât read your mind eitherâ
* Yes but youâre from a completely different world, in a body that radiates despair (and apparently joy now). Youâre basically like some type of eldritch being from another dimension.Â
* Edward doesnât see it that though
* âHonestly itâs a relief, one less mind I have to tune out.â He walks ahead of you as you stay motionless in the middle of the hallway
* What the f*ck is happening?
* âAre you coming? Weâre going to be late for Biology if you keep lagging behind like that.â
* How could you forget? The whole story starts because Edward is super into Bellaâs blood! He fantasizes killing her for like- the entire class period.
* You were worried for nothing, just because they didnât have the cafeteria moment isnât that big of a deal
* The thought makes you both relieved and a little sad
* Still itâs for the best, this is the way things are supposed to be
* And who knows, if you have to leave maybe you can poach Rosalie and Emmett to leave with you
* And maybe Jasper, he wonât like having a human around the house all the time
* âMr. Cullen, Ms. Eleazarâ Mr. Banner hands you each a worksheet.
* Oh right the onion cell worksheet. Ah right the mitosis crap. Well hopefully Mike remembers enough that you both can hobble through
* âNew year means new seating arrangement!â He tells you both excitedly. The seating arrangements on the projector.
* âWhy am I next to Edward isnât the seating arrangement supposed to be alphabetical?â
* âI decided to go by grade this time, you should be happy! Arenât you two...friends?â You can tell your teacher is confused by the nature of your relationship, almost as much as you are.Â
* âSuper happy Teach.â You mumble taking your seat next to Edward whoâs grinning like an idiot
* âYou canât say heâs picking favorites when itâs merit based.â He grins and you roll your eyes
* Angelaâs sitting next to Ben Cheney, they seem to be discussing the trigonometry homework, and how itâs basically impossible
* Oh right, heâs supposed to be her boyfriend this year.Â
* Personally you think Angela could do way better. But love is blind, youâll ship it if you have to.Â
* And right on cue Mike walks in, Bella following close behind. He takes his seat on the table behind you while Bella talks to Mr. Barnes
* âWhy didnât you guys sit with us at lunch today?â Mike is practically leaned over the entire width of the table.
* Before you can say anything Edward snorts
* âBecause (Y/N) was getting lectured for staying out all night againâ
* Mike looks like his eyes might pop out of his head
* âW-what? Out all night?! Without inviting me!â You roll your eyes.
* âHeâs making it more dramatic, I went out for a run early in the morning because I couldnât sleep and everyone was freaking out because they thought I got kidnapped.â
* Like any vampire or human stood a chance against you and your violent mood swings
* Mikeâs so caught up in lecturing you about how you need to be more careful
* âThereâs a lot of weirdos out there!â Yeah you live with them
* That he doesnât even notice Bellaâs taken a seat next to him
* Now that you get a better look at her, she is kinda pretty. Sheâs the kind of person who probably always looks good in photographs, no matter what the angle. Nice cheekbones and big brown eyes. Modest on boobs and butt, but sheâs skinny so it works for her.
* âHey, youâre Bella right?â You give her your friendliest smile, and you donât miss the light blush that blooms on her face.
* Youâre not sure whether itâs from your beauty or because sheâs just not used to so much attention. She just nods.
* âHave you already seen the three whole things there are to do in Town on a Friday night?â
* Bella actually laughs at that. Sheâs got dimples, and little wrinkles that show up at the corner of her eyes. Itâs cute.
* âOne of those things is going to the library, so really itâs only two things.â
* She giggles again.
* âIs the other one going over to your house to play monopoly?â Mike asks, a grin arching onto his face
* âNo my house is out of town, the other thing is to go to the school football gameâ
* âIâm not really a big fan of footballâ Bella hesitantly says, and Mike and Edward laugh
* âYeah no one here does, everyone goes for the half time show, or just to hang out.âÂ
* Youâre pretty sure your entire friend group only goes to the games to see your cheer routine, especially this year since youâre captain now. The first junior captain in a long time apparently. The news actually made the local newspaper.
* Everything is going good, and youâre starting to think maybe you and Bella might be friends.
* âWhy donât we have a board game night at our house again? Last time was-â
* You stop sentence, you were having so much fun you almost forgot why Edward was so obsessed with Bella.
* The slight breeze from the air conditioning brings her scent to you.
* You cover your mouth and nose with your hand
* Her scent is REVOLTING
* â(Y/N), are you okay?â Mike asks
* You vaguely feel Edwardâs hand on your shoulder, has he not caught her scent yet?
* Itâs pretty hard to miss
* Like gym socks, with a overly sweet base, itâs like-
* Your head snaps up, and your hand clamps over your mouth and nose even harder, but not because the scent is revolting
* She smells like cheese, perfectly aged Gorgonzola cheese, or maybe Brie?
* You smell the sweeter undercurrent stronger now, itâs like warm juicy peaches
* Roasted peach salad tossed with Gorgonzola and olive oil
* How many times have you dreamed about eating that while basking in the warm sunlight
* âI knew you shouldnât have eaten those leftovers at lunch,â Edward says, but you know itâs performative, thank god heâs still got some sense after smelling her.
* âMr.Banner, I think (Y/N) ate something bad, is it alright if I help them to the nurses office?â
* âYes and hurry!â Heâs practically shooing you out as Edward pulls you by the arm
* Nooooo, you wanna smell her moreeee
* You have the sense to not wine and keep your mouth covered.
* Edward doesnât take you to the nurse, you both donât stop walking until youâre at the parking lot
* âWhat the hell was that?â He asks, itâs the first time heâs seemed even remotely angry with you
* He seems more confused then angry though, youâre so shocked you actually sit down on the curb.
* And after a moment of hesitance Edward sits beside you, placing his hand over your own
* âShe smells good Edward, like really good.â
* Edward laughs
* âYeah I gathered thatâ he shakes his head. âI thought you were supposed to be a picky eaterâ
* âI aaaaammâ you moan, your head is cradled in your left hand. âSheâs like one in a millionâ
* âYouâre one in a millionâ you lift your head to see Edward looking at you with that stupid sh*t eating grin.
* âReally Edward my life is falling apart because I want to eat someone, and you think the appropriate response is to flirt?â
* To be fair, heâs always flirting, itâs basically apart of his personality at this point
* âYouâre being melodramatic.â He chuckles and throws an arm over your shoulder. âWorst case scenario you kill her, Carlisle doles out his funeral punishment-donât ask, and then we have to start over as freshman again somewhere else.â
* You groan, you finally worked your way up to a junior, you were just starting to get used to this crappy town, you donât wanna start all over again in a new one
* âWhatâs the best case scenario?â
* Edward thinks hard for a minute.
* âBest case scenario...the music teacher agrees to teach me how to play the violin and I impress you with my magnificent playing.â You smack him on the arm.
* âNot the best case scenario for you!â You know heâs doing it on purpose. He just wants to make you laugh
* It works, you do laugh. How much more absurd could this situation get?
* âEverythingâs going to be fine, if Jasper can handle having to smell 300 students he thinks smell good, you can handle 1.âÂ
* Heâs got a point
* âWait-didnât she smell good to you?â Wasnât that like, the whole d*mn point?
* His eyebrows thread together and he shrugs
* âUm, she smelled alright, no better or worse than the others. Iâm not sure what you smelled-â
* What you smelled? The rich but refreshing flavor profile is sublime
* The f*cking heathen doesnât even know what heâs missing
* âBut to me she smelled like peachesâ
* Well he kinda knows what heâs missing
* âSheâs definitely anemic though, thereâs a sever lack of iron in her scentâ ah that must be that cheesy smell youâre getting
* Well ainât this ironic. The girl whoâs going to steal your best friend is only getting noticed because of you.
* âI donât know, personally I prefer Henrietta the 3rds blood, but thatâs just meâ heâs lying, your blood is good and all, but itâs definitely still not on par with a humans blood
* Heâs just trying to make you feel better.
* He rubs your shoulder, before patting it and moving to stand up.
* âNow come on, we have to make you eat some human food so you can throw up in front of the nurse and she lets us leave school earlyâ
* You roll your eyes, anything to leave school early huh?
* âYeah all right, lead the way Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Broodingâ
* âWhy do you always say that? I donât brood that much anymore!â
* âYou know how some people have resting b*tch face? You have resting brood face.â
* âSays the person who literally radiates despairâ you shove him as you both walk towards the vending machine
* You take a deep breath as you watch Edward fumble with the vending machine
* The dork literally sticks a credit card up to the glass and demands the machine give him chips.Â
* (Y/N/N) why isnât this working? Am I supposed to insert my card through this slot?âÂ
* You laugh. Youâre pretty sure heâs not doing this on purpose.
*Â âYouâre supposed to use cash Edward.â
* You watch as he fumbles with his wallet muttering:
*Â âDo you think itâll take a twenty dollar bill?â
* You watch in amusement as Edward tries - and fails- to use a twenty dollar bill, and then proceed to use obscure profanities to curse âthis vile wretch of human technological advancementâÂ
* You feel a sigh of relief escape you.
* Yeah, everything is going to be fine.Â

September Self Care Challenge
The last few months have been hell for me y'all and there's absolutely no sign of it letting up. The astrology for this year is pretty clear that it's only looking to get more intense between now and part way through next year so I'm trying to focus on ways I can better ride this wave out. I realized other people might appreciate these challenges that I've created for myself so I decided to share them with all of you. Please take what is useful and leave the rest. Try as much of it as you can or as you want. I will say it would probably help to use a journal throughout this process or a planner. Whichever works for you!
The Routines
Given the astro weather and what's going on in the world generally, now is a really good time to reexamine routines and solidify the helpful parts. I've been doing a lot of this lately and it's been really impactful.
So one part of this challenge involves creating both a morning and evening routine that has at least one of item of maintenance self care, kindness self care, and reflection self care. Expression self care too if you can manage it.
So for instance maybe your AM routine would be:
Brush teeth + get dressed (maintenance)
Morning pages, TMS journaling, or a tarot challenge (reflection)
Make a nice cup of tea and read or listen to something (kindness)
And maybe your PM routine would be:
Brush teeth + wash face (maintenance)
Write about what happened that day (reflection)
Put on a diffuser and read of listen to something (kindness)
Try to stick to it more days than you don't and that's already a win.
I also like to anchor my routines around 123 and 321. In the morning, I like to write downÂ
1 way I can give back to someoneÂ
2 things I want to get done
3 things I'm thankful for.Â
In the evening, I like to write downÂ
3 things I accomplished
2 ways to improve
1 thing I'm proud of or thankful for
These could count as reflection if need be. I just find them really handy for starting off and finishing a day on a good note.
The Content
I've been feeling bombarded by content that stresses me out lately. I can tell it's been taking a toll on my health. As a disabled person, I've had watch so many people, including family, suddenly decide COVID wasn't worth worrying about while I remain in the same lockdown as ever because I haven't stopped being high risk. It can be really overwhelming seeing how little folks care.
But I was recently introduced to the idea that instead of trying to scroll through the news less, it was more productive to focus on what I want to do more of instead. So I've cut back to reading a news roundup around midday and then focusing on completing the following challenge.
Read 5 new books
Watch 5 new films or documentaries
Listen to 5 new podcasts
Listen to 5 new albums
Create 5 new works
When I say new, I mean new to you. Â I've found that novelty helps keep my mind from wondering which is helpful in these times.
What work is is ultimately up to you. For me it will be mostly writing and embroidery this month. Maybe some knitting or crocheting. For you it could be creating a new art piece, learning a new song, taking and editing 5 new photos - whatever would really engage you in a meaningful way.
The Prompts
These are designed so that you can pull cards for these, journal through them, or both. So please do however many of these are actually helpful to you and then don't sweat the rest. I wanted to include a tarot challenge as a way to help take care of one of the reflection categories for the routines and prompts deeper thinking on the theme.
1 T - What's been getting in your way lately? How can you get it out of your way or adapt to it?
2 W - What spell work would improve your life? What do you need to perform it?
3 T - What have you been wanting to learn more about? Where could you start?
4 F - What's would make you feel more confident in your body? How could you do that?
5 S - What's your biggest limitation you're facing? What can you learn from it?
6 S - What talent could you share with others more? Where could you start?
7 M - What's been bothering you around the house lately? What would lessen it?
8 T - What way to move your body would bring joy? What do you need to start?
9 W - What friend or community have you not reached out to in a while? How can you?
10 T - What spiritual practice brings you peace? What would you need to do it more?
11 F - What small change would feel luxurious? How can you implement it in your life?
12 S - What structures do you need to set up? How would they benefit you?
13 S - What way could you brag on yourself a little? Who would be proud to hear about it?
14 M - What food would make you feel more cozy? What do you need to be able to make it?
15 T - What is the biggest drain on your energy? How can you lessen or get rid of it?
16 W - What really needs said? Who needs to hear it?
17 T - What could you give someone to cheer them up? Who should you give it to?
18 F - How could you spend more time with beauty? Where should you look?
19 S - What should you cut back on? How would it benefit you?
20 S - What would make you more sovereign? How can you implement it?
21 M - What intuition have you not been listening to? What does it say?
22 T - What's a better way to deal with anger? Where can you learn more?
23 W - What charm could use refreshed or recast? What needs to be different?
24 T - What opportunity is presenting itself? How can you take it?
25 F - What could you revel in more? How can you make it happen?
26 S - What needs to be gotten rid of? Where's the place to dispose of it?
27 S - What's the dark side of your ego? How can you manage it better?
28 M - What would make your home more calming? How can you bring that in?
29 T - How are you when you're aggressive? What's a better way to get what you want?
30 W - What connection needs extra energy? How can you add to it?
Conclusion
I hope this helps folks. I know it's been helping me since I started doing it and I thought it would be nice to make it more of a community wide thing. So do that parts that speak to you and leave the parts you don't. But please tag me in your reflections, use hashtag #SeptemberSelfCareChallenge, and share your experiences. We're all going through some rough shit these days. Let's take care of ourselves at least a little each day.

The Lawyers Daughter Chapter 5
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8
Note: F/N: father's name, M/N: Mother's name ------------------------- You may have only been in New York for an hour but you had fallen in love with it.
The people bustling, the sounds, the chaos.
It felt comfortable to you. As if you were meant to be there.
Your mother was still uneasy about the whole thing but she was happy to spend time as a family.
The hotel you were staying in was very nice. In fact, it seemed a little out of your budget.
Your father had explained that he had a friend who worked there and had given him a discounted rate.
Thank God for good friends.
They had gotten a guest suite for the price of a regular room. The suite was straight out of a movie. It had a sleek design with marble countertops and a sparkling floor. There was a huge tv and two rooms. One for you and one for your parents. What you loved most was the huge window doors that lead to a balcony. It gave you a perfect view to the city below you.
It couldn't get any better than this.
"Hey kiddo I see you're enjoying the view"
You smiled and gave him a big hug
"Thank you for this dad!"
He chuckled before he rubbed your head messing up your hair.
"If you think this is cool wait until tomorrow when we actually go do stuff"
"Can I get a preview of what we are doing"
"F/N don't you dare tell her or so help me God you will get it," your mother half yelled from inside.
Your father held up his hands defensively.
"Sorry kiddo you heard the boss. You're just gonna have to wait till tomorrow"
You smiled as you walked back in and saw your mother had ordered room service. It smelled and looked like it was meant for a king.
After eating you got ready for bed. You were excited to see what tomorrow would bring.
You were grateful for your parents. They had really gone all out on this.
You went to sleep with pleasant dreams running through your head.
---------------------------- You woke up to a familiar song playing in the background.
You rubbed your eyes and stretched your arms as you went into the living space and saw your parents already eating breakfast.
"Morning pumpkin. Come eat," your mother said as you came over to kiss them good morning.
You sat down and began to eat. The sing seemed to get a bit louder and you recognized it as the opening song to Hamilton.
"Why do you guys have Hamilton playing in the background? I thought you didn't like it?"
Your mother laughed.
"Darling I never said I didn't like it. I said that there was too much sing for my taste".
You rolled your eyes playfully as you took a sip of orange juice.
"It's a musical, mom. There's gonna be a lot of singing".
"Well hopefully it'll be better in person rather than on TV"
You spit out your drink.
"In-person?!!"
You looked at your father to make sure this wasn't some lame joke.
He nodded. "Yeppers kiddo. We got front tickets to Hamilton for this evening"
Your mouth dropped in surprise.
"That's awesome! Thank you thank you thank youuuuuuu!!!!"
Your mother tapped her fork on your plate.
"You're welcome. Now finishing eating. We have a big day ahead of us." ----------------------- And a big day you had indeed.
You had gone to various places throughout the day and you felt like you were on a cloud.
The Empire State Building, Ellis Island, Central Park.
To everyone else, they may seem mundane and ordinary but to you, it is an exhilarating experience.
There were many musicians on the street playing lively tunes as you swayed to the beat.
You loved New York. New York loved you.
There was nothing that could change that.
----------------------------------
Your parents suggested you go back to the hotel to get some downtime before the show. You were kind of tired from walking all day so you agreed. You would be happy to take a little cat nap and restock on energy.
You suggested taking the subway back to the hotel. Your parents were reluctant to agree but eventually gave in when you pointed out it was a 30-minute walk back.
But you all realized there was a matter of getting on the right train at the right time.
Your parents bickered among themselves over who knew what train to take to get back the fastest. You sighed and sat by a nearby bench. A man was sitting beside you. He had brown hair, green eyes and was, to say the least, dressed to impress. He was busy on his phone typing away faster than you had ever seen anyone else before. Your parents kept arguing and were getting a bit loud which caused the man to look up from his phone annoyed.
"It would be nice if they could keep it down. Nobody wants to hear them argue," he muttered in annoyance.
Well nobody asked you to stay and hear about it.
There was a pause before he was staring at you questionably.
"What did you say?"
You didn't even realize you had spoken.
"I um-nothing," you said weakly.
The man's eyes glittered with amusement. "No. You said something."
Crap.
"Nothing. I was...talking to myself."
The man sighed annoyingly but you saw the twinkle in his eyes saying he was the opposite of annoyed.
"Okay then. But if you did say something then maybe I could give you directions to the train you need to take so your parents can stop bickering like animals."
Ah well.
You could either swallow your pride and repeat what you said to the man or listen to your parents argue for the next hour and be stuck here.
Your stomach at that moment decided to gurgle.
The man glanced at you with a grin.
"Fine. I said Nobody asked you to sit here and hear them argue. You could have just left if it annoyed you so much"
Well, there goes your pride.
The man's eyes wrinkled as he laughed. It seemed as if he didn't do that much.
"How old are you?"
"A number"
He hummed humorously.
"What number would that be?"
"You're a stranger"
"That didn't stop your snappy comments"
Well, he had you there.
"16," you said in defeat.
"Hmm, 16? Imagine how'll you'll be when you are 30," he said chuckling.
It was your turn to laugh.
"Okay, I did my end of the deal so now it's your turn."
"Alright, snappy. Take the next train and get off at the third stop. It should be pretty close to the street your parents are yapping about."
You smiled.
"Thank you, Mr..."
"Barba. Rafael Barba."
"Okay, Mr. Barba. Thank you for the help."
He smiled.
"You're welcome Snappy"
You giggled before getting up and telling your parents you had figured it out. They looked at you in relief as you boarded the incoming train. As the doors closed you saw the man still sitting there. He looked at you, smiled, and waved.
You waved back as the train left the station.
Hey y'all! I'm on vacation this upcoming week so expect some good juicy content! If you like this story check out my other works (SVU Reader Imagines, Dear Mr. B)! As always I really appreciate feedback!

Appreciating the Range of Type 6, or, one stereotypical example, and three that arenât.
I want to tell you about some type 6 ppl that I know in my personal life.
Exemplar #1: F. B.
Complete Stats
Wing: 5 p or cp: largely phobic â lots of safety worries, outright authoritarian follower personality Instinct: sp/soc Trifix: 613 Â - 6w5 1w2 3w2 (âThe Taskmasterâ or âThe Middle Managerâ) jungian: ISTJ / SLI-Te oldham: Conscientious & Aggressive Essence Type: Mars Temperament: Pure Choleric
What heâs like:
Not pleasant.
Every âstrict conservative middle aged guyâ stereotype in the book. Control freak, makes a mountain out of every molehill, sees the world as full of axe murderers, judgemental as fuck, horrible temper and yet completely impersonable, all his opinions are copypasted from right-wing news sites. When they say war is good heâs for war, and when they say war is bad heâll be like âAt least Trump did not start any more warsâ without perceiving a contradiction. Despite this, he believes is very hot, principled and funny. He is none of these things. He puts people down nonstop. My knowledge of neurochemistry tells me that he must have emotions somewhere or he couldnât function, but I ainât ever seen a single one of those emotions. Theyâre all for his job and a few trusted mentor figures. And his mom. At least he loved her.
If you say anything he doesnât like, he âthrows the sofa out the windowâ as his wife once put it.
How heâs a Type 6:
Well, heâs pretty much every negative stereotype in a nutshell⌠other than distrusting his partner. But that might be cause hes sx blind, or cause the wife is big on monogamy & wouldnât ever cheat.
The one positive trait of 6 that he has is that he does his research. Before moving anywhere he googles the crime rates and if you need a doctor he might find you the best one. But even that can be overriden by ideology (hydroxychloroquine!). And if you donât take his exact advice, there goes the sofa out the window againâŚ
And I guess the work ethic from all 3 parts of the trifix really comes through â he hasnât had a single bad grade in his life and always keeps collecting new certifications, and will make sure you hear about it...
Exemplar #2: I.
Complete Stats
Wing: 5 P or cp: pretty much an even mix of phobic and counterphobic Instinct: sp/soc Trifix: 614 - 6w5 1w2 4w3 (Would prolly call herself âThe Big Painâ rather than âThe Philosopherâ ^^°) jungian: INTJ / ILI-Ni oldham: Serious & Conscientious Essence Type: Saturn Temperament: Chlor-Mel
What sheâs like:
Iâd describe her as serious, mature, discerning, focused and passionate about her friendships, if perhaps somewhat forceful at times, with a dry, sarcastic sense of humor.
Comes across like someone who knows what sheâs talking about, with well-articulated points.
Often the Responsible Sibling, Designated Sanity Checker or Bullshit Detector.
Prefers to plan everything in advance in typical Ni dom fashion, even amusement part trips. Gets somewhat anxious without a future plan or shedule.
Often mistaken for a whole lot more sociable and confident that she really feels inside. (even I kinda bought it and got her whole darn trifix wrong on my first typing attempt, though that was when I was new to typology) She can act the boss act temporarily to get the situation over with, but she actually hates making decisions.
She does however have the occasional cute/pure moment where that lower function block comes out.
How sheâs a Type 6:
She has saved our family from many a terrible restaurant by making sure to check the reviews. The preparing for all possible dangers is very 6, the acting tough outwardly when youre inwardly anxious, the intellectual problem solving & some tendency towards organization/responsibility/ âlogisticâ intelligence.
One online test she took gave her 5w6 instead of 6w5 but thatâs probably just the ITxx-ness leaking in. I remember this one time we were discussing this artsy-fartsy theater play to which weâd had fascinatingly different reactions, and at one point I half-jokingly said something like âBut does anyone ever really feel connected to others, or is that a myth?â to which she wrote, â[Name], what the fuck? Yes I do.â and then immediately deleted it. Thatâs more of a 6 reaction innit?
Nonetheless the wing does feature in significantly â for example she got very well informed about a lot of topics because she researched them to assuage a random survival-related fear, like, âHow to make sure I have enough retirement moneyâ
Exemplar #3: M.
Complete Stats
Wing: 7 p or cp: largely phobic Instinct: sp/sx Trifix: 692 - 6w7 9w1 2w1 (Fortunately very much a âGood Samaritanâ rather than âThe Stockholmâ) jungian: ISFP / SEI-Fi oldham: Sensitive & Devoted Essence Type: Lunar-Venus Temperament: Pure Supine
What sheâs like:
Precious! Sweet, nice, good listener, friendly, gives all the best gifts. But also perceptive and good at understanding people, eg. mediating to the parents when one of the younger sisters is having An Emotion⢠or winning the trust of problem children.
Unlike I. Who has some soc that helps her keep track of a larger circle of friends despite her introversion, M. tends to enjoy the closeness with her family and have just a few very close friends. Excellent friend material all around! The sx and Se also come out in enjoying art forms involving the body like theatre or dance.
She can be a bit shy, conflict-avoidant and occasionally a lil bit panicky though.
As a small kid she used to be super duper shy but then a wise english teacher encouraged her to play a big role in a play, and since then sheâs a lot more confident and doesnât let ppl push her around without limit, though sheâs still a quiet, helpful person. There you see the difference that a good teacher can make.
How sheâs a Type 6:
For one thing she moves and emotes faster than a core 9 would, and she fits the body language â big eyes that move around a lot, stands a bit lopsided, talks in a shrill voice on the rare occasions where we exhaust her patience etc. As a xSFx and a w7 she shows mostly the âwarm, friendly, likeableâ side of type 6. She also has a very 6-ish tendency to very frequently ask peopleâs opinions & feedback before making decisions. (the other fixes probably add to this)
Alas, she also has a little bit of of the fear/insecurity.
Also she has a social/care job which might be seen as 6-ish desire to serve the community.
Exemplar #4: J.
Complete Stats
Wing: 7 P or cp: largely counterphobic Instinct: sx/soc ?? definitely not sp first. Trifix: 638 - 6w7 3w4 8w9(?) (Shall she be a âJustice Fighterâ or a âKyleâ? Only time will tell.) jungian: ISTP / LSI-Se ?? Oldham: ? some Dramatic & Serious, perhaps ? Essence Type: Definitely Mercury Temperament: San-Mel
What sheâs like:
The first adjective that usually comes to my mind is âcoolâ. Sassy, energetic & a little bit tough, but also affectionate when she wants to be. (though in admiring way rather than a mushy one)
She says the coolest things, has a certain sly sort of cleverness, and an astonishly good poker face. Bit of an occasional prankster. Hilarious. Knows all sort of cool science facts. Avid gamer.Â
Not especially popular or over the top sociable, but she gets sad if no one pays attention to her a while. Will act visibly moody where ppl can see sad or worried and can catastrophize a bit in such situations.
How sheâs a Type 6:
I first though we might be getting an ExxP type 7 since she was a pretty energetic child, but once puberty hit and independent thought manifested, she turned out a whole lot too reactive and âedgyâ for this, and more on the âmoderate introvertâ side of things.
Since then the sisterly dynamic has been like one fluffy golden dog and 3 hissing black cats. Hissing Cats #1 and #2 are very proud of her, but cat #1 was forced to conclude that sheâs probably not a positive outlook type.
Out of all the reactive types 6 fits best because she does broadcast group identity (like wearing merchandise of her favorite media and wearing buttons in solidarity with ppl she likes.) & has a big case of Big Sibling worship for M, I, and someone else who isnât on this list due to being a 9. (a 4 or 8 might like their older siblings but probably wouldnât constantly stress the admiration.), but she can also show lasting, pouty displeasure with authority figures who have slighted her. (Like that one time I went too far in teasing her...)
Iâm just assuming the 8 fix because that tends to make 6s more bold, louder & more shameless.
Basically she is the âpunk teenâ type of 6. She can be a bit dramatic & over-the top but still come to her family on advice (even advice on pranks!) in ways that xSTPs of other enneagrams prolly wouldnât.
She also tends to use self-deprecating humor in tough situations and deflects compliments to present herself as âordinaryâ.
...
This may sound like Iâm really getting down on my first example (I wonât pretend that Iâm not) but the point in bringing him up is that the reason heâs like this is: He was subject to really bad parenting that put a lot of fear into him, there was no good parenting to teach him broader coping strategies, he lived in a crappy environment that crushed his dreams, in a sense âconfirmingâ those fears and making him double down, resulting in a person who is just always rigidly following the same predictable pattern or jumping from one automatic reaction to the next with very little pausing and thinking. That goes for the other types too: A âstereotypicalâ person is a desperate person ruled by fear, who cant stop or soften up even for an instant cause they constantly feel this fire of threat under their arse.
A lot of descriptions say that 6s âFollow authorityâ but most would balk at the notion â âI do the research!â they might argue âI donât just trust anyoneâ or âIâm actually a rebelâ. There is of course such a thing as denial  thatâs more like the extreme case.
But with a more average, functional 6 itâs not so much âobedienceâ as that they just like to bounce their ideas off of others to get feedback, or that they feature in otherâs viewpoints. So you might get someone who can naturally use feedback (something other ppl may have to learn first) or who is very considerate of others (which others might have to consciously remind themselves to do.)
Those are sometimes pretty good traits actually.
On the other hand this is probably part of what makes decisions hard cause they consider all these possible scenarios of how things might displease or cause harm to everyone involved.
Being able to naturally snap into Action Mode under stress looks a bit enviable from the outside, but I. assures me that itâs actually super stressful & exhausting, even for someone who doesnât get to a point of just being unreasonably aggro at you.
Though even an extreme case like F.B. would probably claim that he âdid the researchâ even as heâs 1:1 quoting the Pope at you, and then saying that you âhave to be respectfulâ even if you donât even believe in Christianity. Hence why you get a lot of authoritarians talking about âdisrespectâ. You didnât âfail to obeyâ, you âdisrespected the flagâ or  âhurt the feelings of the Chinese peopleâ. Because theyâre still trying or inwardly thinking that theyâre doing the consideritation & considering otherâs PoV thing when theyâve long since crossed from respect and consideration into mindless obedience, all while still thinking that theyâre very sceptical and discerning cause after all they really distrust the other political party or whatever. Â
In a way you get this obsession with âmind controlâ cause theyâre not unaware of & very much looking to guard the blind spot. Theyâre adults trying to do adult things.
For example, if I voiced an opinion to F. B. which he didnât like, his reaction was often to ask âwho told you thatâ
Thatâs just how he seems to think opinions work, somebody tells them to you.
Makes one wonder how he thinks new opinions start.
Yeah - Nobody told me that. I concocted it myself in some corner of my head. And in the interest of objectivity, I should stress that you can also end talking out of your ass that way, if youâre not basing it on enough outside data. Making up new shit has more of a quadratic than a linear learning curve â at least with copying you get something semi-useful right away. In making up your own you might be really off a long time before you stumble on something useful.
Also, I was young at the time and itâs not wholly unreasobale to think that an inexperienced person might be duped. I reacted really badly in part cause he hit my own ego buttons cause I was of course proud of this epiphany that I had concocted by myself, and now he says (or so I perceived it, being sensitive to accusations of incompetence) that Iâm too dumb to form an opinion, so of course I launched into full Obnoxious Reddit Dude Mode.
In I. It manifests more on a reasonable useful level like âOh wait, should [young cousin] be on TikTok? I donât want him to get sucked into some cultish BS.â which is at least something the parents should have on the radar/ warn him about even if they do let him use TikTok, because for all that it is vital for him to get his experience with independent socializing & experimentig with sel-presentation, people do sometimes get suckered into cults or goaded into unsafe tests of courage.
And in a sense⌠maybe they overamphasize it but to some extent theyâre also simply consciously aware/ mindful of it. The rest of us are not immune to propaganda after all, solong as itâs presented in a way pleasing to our egos. Any type structure can become a âhookâ if youâre not careful.

ok dorcas and marlene as chaotic professors at the same university? could be an AU, could just be Hogwarts
As told in Text Conversations:Â
Groupchat: Picasso is a BitchÂ
Dorcas: New Teacher alert.
Lily: Department?
Dorcas: Engineering
Remus: Sounds hot
Dorcas: shut up immediately.
Remus: youâre not my mom
Lily: M or F
Dorcas: F
Remus: Dammit
Lily: seem nice?
Dorcas: idk. I didnât get the chance to actually talk to her. It was more like a moment in passing. She was surrounded by guys, though
Remus: what a lesbian move
Lily: how⌠how is that even a thing?
Remus: Lils, are you dumb? If girls ONLY hang out with guys, chances are theyâre butch. Or they know they arenât attracted to guys and are wild as fuck and have nothing to lose. They have no one to impress, really. Those are the only two options.
Dorcas: Jesus
Remus: No, Iâm sure he wasnât there
Dorcas: I have to leave this conversation before I physically kill Remus Lupin. Talk to you both later.
Lily: Lunch in our usual spot?
Remus: Tell me if you see the Lesbian again.
Remus: Also, where the fuck is Alice?

Groupchat: The Walking Dead
Sirius: Well lads, I dropped off the love of our lives at school. Felt like a proud parent. Almost cried.
Marlene: You are aware that I know how to make explosives from scratch right? Iâve been aching to do it for a while, so you wanna keep doing this? Is this happening?
James: I need him, though. Weâre gonna get married eventually. So no. You are not allowed to blow him up
Marlene: Fuck
Peter: How's the new campus?Â
Marlene: Small. I mean, itâs a lot smaller of a university, harder to get into and all that. But still. For a place that boasts a great deal of wealth, they certainly donât show it in building size.Â
Sirius: Thatâs how you know they have money. They have nothing to prove. Classic rich people move.
Peter: You should know.
James: Did you get settled though, Mars?Â
Marlene: Enough. I still have to set up the lecture hall to my liking, but itâs nice to have an office that will probably be permanent. And I saw your door just a few down from mine, Jamie boy! Sirius: I should have become a professor. I feel left out. I hate being left out.
Peter: You have the right degree, Paddy. You could be a professor if you wanted.
Sirius: Desk jobs are gross. No thank you. Also, children.
Marlene: Itâs not a desk job. And, like, these children are basically full grown adults.
Sirius: Physically, maybe. But I remember what we were like at their age. Mentally, they belong in daycare.Â
James: Youâre just bitter because those college boys outdrank you the other night.
Sirius: THEY FUCKING CHEATED!
Peter: They didnât though
James: Whatever you say, Pads.
Marlene: Also, I just saw a very beautiful woman. Will keep you updated if I see her again.
Sirius: WHY ARE YOU ONLY SAYING THIS NOW?!?!

Groupchat: Picasso Is a Bitch name changed to Hamlet, thatâs fucking gay
Remus: Any sign of the lesbian?
Dorcas: No.Â
Alice: What? What Lesbian?
Lily: Oh, while you were sick, Dorcas saw a very pretty girl. Remus thinks sheâs a lesbian.
Alice: Ooh, thatâs fun!Â
Remus: I donât THINK Lily, I know.Â
Dorcas: You havenât even seen her
Remus: Irrelevant.Â
Lily: Do you guys know if Potter is back?
Alice: I saw him this morning. He was getting coffee.
Remus: I love that man so much. Heâs so beautiful I could literally cry. With that hot caramel skin and that wild hair and how he always smells like some weird spice. I want him to be the father of my children.
Lily: Donât encourage him.
Remus: Heâs not even here.
Lily: He can sense your enthusiasm. So shhhhh
Alice: Do we still not like him?
Lily: No.
Dorcas: You know it was an accident, Lils.Â
Lily: You donât know that. And I donât know that. And who in their RIGHT MIND asks someone out after theyâve pushed them into a fountain? Like, the audacity?!
Remus: At least heâs authentic
Lily: Yeah, an authentic bitch.Â
Alice: Lol.
Alice: Iâm honestly really interested in this Lesbian situation, though. Can we get back to that?
Remus: Sheâs in the engineering department. So if your cute little math loving butt just wanted to wander over thereâŚ
Alice: Iâm on my way.Â
Dorcas: Why are we friends? Youâre joking, right? Please tell me youâre joking.
Dorcas: ALICE
Lily: Theyâre doing it out of love.
Dorcas: Well their idea of love is something I am not interested in.Â
Alice: Blonde?
Dorcas: Fuck.
Remus: Is she blonde, Dorcs?
Remus: IS SHE?!
Dorcas: Yeah.
Alice: Marlene McKinnon. Blonde, blue eyed, Iâd say 5â8, 5â9. Masters in Engineering. Very nice.
Remus: Alice, I fucking love you

Groupchat: The Walking Dead changed to Update, Iâm still gay
Sirius: Why the name change?
Marlene: Needed to get your attention
James: But like⌠with that?
Marlene: It fucking worked, didnât it?
Peter: What happened?
Marlene: I saw that beautiful woman again. And I was right. She was beautiful.
Sirius: Sounds riveting.
Marlene: I told you Iâd keep you updated, and I am. Stop being ungrateful.
Sirius: Yes commander
James: Who was it?
Marlene: Donât know. Short, black, curly hair?
James: Where did you see her?
Marlene: She was getting a plate of spaghetti in the Canteen.
James: HmâŚâŚâŚ..Â
Sirius: James doesnât know anyone because heâs too busy mooning over Evans.
James: I am so much stronger than you. Do not come for me right now
Peter: Sirius, you have an appointment here, come down.
Sirius: Fuck.Â
James: Peter, you know you can just text him personally, right?
Peter: I canât shame him publicly if I only text him.Â
Marlene: Facts.
James: Did you talk to her?
Marlene: Nah, she was with people. I wanted to though. She seems lovely.Â
James: Lovely? Who are you and what have you done with Marlene McKinnon.
Marlene: Sheâs dead now. Iâve inhabited her body.Â
Sirius: Thank god, she was a bitch.
Peter: SIRIUS
James: Iâll keep an eye out for her. Let me know if you want me to scout it out.
Marlene: Okay, James Bond

Groupchat: Hamlet, thatâs fucking gay changed to Dorcas McKinnon has a nice ring to it
Dorcas: Remus, stop changing the group chat name. I know where you live.
Remus: We live with each other.
Dorcas: Exactly.
Lily: Are there lesbian updates????
Remus: I met her. She was wandering around, looking for a pop machine.Â
Alice: Yay! I love Lesbian updates
Remus: Good news: sheâs funny. Like, super funny.
Lily: Saying good news like that often means there is bad news to follow
Remus: Sheâs uh⌠friends with Potter.
Dorcas: Uh-oh.
Alice: Oh no.
Lily: Iâm really sorry that you have to eternally break up with this woman, Dorky. Because NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. ANYONE who is friends with James Potter is not worth knowing.
Alice: Thatâs pretty judgemental, lils.
Lily: .... And?
Remus: Luckily, you donât have to date her.
Dorcas: No one is dating ANYONE. Jesus, you guys. Chill out about this whole thing
Remus: I donât think thatâs physically possible.Â
Dorcas: Can we talk about anything else?
Alice: Frank is taking me out for sushi tonight.Â
Remus: I would marry Frank in five seconds, if heâd let me
Alice: Iâll let him know.Â
Remus: Thank you, I appreciate it.

Sirius: I have met the love of my life.
Marlene: Stop being dramatic
Sirius: Excuse me? EXCUSE ME? He quoted the Princess Bride with me. Word for Word? Marlene, I must marry this man. WHO IS HE?
Peter: Why do I keep missing all of the fun stuff?
James: The fun stuff is watching Sirius gay panic over a stranger?
Peter: Yeah. Obvs.
Marlene: Heâs the lit professor.
James: Lupin?
Marlene: I think so, yeah.Â
Sirius: An english nerd. Perfect. He can read me poetry while I give people tattoos. Weâll make millions.Â
Marlene: I think⌠he wants to be my friend. Heâs come around a few times. He even brought me coffee once, with a croissant. I didnât know people were so nice to strangers. Am I in a hallmark film?
Peter: Itâs cause you're such a catch, Mars.Â
Marlene: I will shove that âcatchâ up your ass, Pettigrew, if you donât stop being stupid.
James: Impossible. Stupidity is Peterâs middle name.Â
Sirius: Yeah Peter Marcus Stupidity Pettigrew.
Peter: My middle name isnât Marcus.
Sirius: Wait really?
Peter: No?
Sirius: Why the fuck did I think it was Marcus?
James: I think Lupin is bi, Sirius. SoâŚ
Sirius: James, you are the other love of my life. I will kiss you when you get home. You provide me with the most valuable information and attention. I can never truly repay you.
James: Finally. Getting the recognition I deserve. Canât wait.
Sirius: Marlene, please. Be his friend, I am begging you. I will give you our first born child.
Marlene: Pass.

Lily: Youâre all traitors. Sheâs friends with the enEMY
Dorcas: I thought Remus was supposed to be the dramatic one
Remus: Iâll take that as a compliment
Dorcas: Whatever helps you sleep at night.Â
Alice: Seriously though. Sheâs so nice. A lot of my students have her and theyâve been gushing. Apparently sheâs one of the best professors some of them have ever had.
Remus: Damn. High praise.Â
Lily: Still skeptical
Alice: She asked about you, Dori.Â
Dorcas: wait, what?
Remus: ALICE SAY MORE RIGHT NOW?!?!
Alice: She said she had noticed that you and I are close and she wanted to know about you. What your name is, what you teach, how long youâve been working here, if you were single.

Remus: Dorcas, shut up forever. Alice is talking. Alice, my love, please continue.Â
Alice: I may have invited her to eat lunch with us.
Dorcas: UhâŚ
Lily: You did what?
Alice: Sheâs new, Lily. Iâm trying to help her make friends.
Lily: You did it, didnât you.Â
Alice: ummm
Lily: YOU TOLD HER SHE COULD BRING JAMES POTTER, DIDNâT YOU
Alice: Heâs her friend. I couldnât exclude him.

Alice: Who knows, it might be fun?
Remus: Iâm so excited I could burst
Dorcas: Is it legal to drink on campus in the middle of the day?
Remus: Unfortunately not. Trust me, Iâve tried.

Marlene McKinnon to Dorcas Meadowes
Marlene: It was nice of all of you to invite me to lunch. I know it was probably awkward for all of you to have to spend time with a stranger. But I really appreciated it.Â
Dorcas: No problem. Youâre always welcome.
Marlene: Maybe⌠we could go get something to eat off campus sometime?
Dorcas: Yeah, of course. We go to the bar on Wright all the time.
Marlene: Oh, I meant like⌠just you and me. Actually.
Dorcas: Oh.
Marlene: Yeah. Did I guess wrong?
Dorcas: Guess wrong?
Marlene: About you being into women?
Dorcas: OhhhhâŚ
Marlene: ??
Dorcas: What did you have in mind? For our date?
Marlene: Wait, is that a yes?
Dorcas: I expect like, first class treatment, because Iâve seen you in action now. Anyone who can wrangle James Potter like that is someone who deserves knowing. So yeah. Itâs a yes.
Marlene: Yay! Okay, you wonât regret it!
Marlene: Also, my friend is in love with Lupin.
Dorcas: wait, James?Â
Marlene: Lol. Nah, James is still hung up on Lily. Sheâs wonderful, by the way. Tell her Iâm grateful she was so kind. I know about what James did last year, so I can understand her bitterness. Fucking funny, though, to see it in person.
Marlene: Itâs my other friend, Sirius. He owns the tattoo parlor, Cannis Major, on Levi.Â
Dorcas: Hmm. Well, let me know what I can do. Iâm sure we can get them in the same room at some point.
Marlene: Are you offering to meddle in peopleâs lives?
Dorcas: Is that okay?
Marlene: Dorcas Meadowes, Iâm pretty sure Iâm already halfway in love with you.Â
Dorcas: Thank god.Â
--------------------
This has been in my ask box for literal months. Iâm sorry @tonftyhw !! I had finals and stress and I donât know how to write. I hope this makes you smile though.
Clarifier for who teaches what if anyone is interested:

spuffy for the ask game since you have a spuffy story coming up on your schedule?
Yes, yes I do! And sure can do! ^-^
I love Spuffy. It has been one of my absolute favorite ships from all fandoms for many years, but ever since I also read the comic continuation, I gotta say, Spuffy is the favorite ship. The most beloved of all ships I've ever sailed.
They are the embodiment of hero/villain enemies turned lovers.
And they have my favorite m/f dynamic; he's full of snark and bastard energy, but oh is he soft for her.
And they also have that thing that makes me love ships the most; it's a ship between my two favorite characters from that franchise. If a ship unites my two faves, it just instantly gains more of my love, because it means I get them both, at the same time, happy, with each other.
I love the way their dynamic slowly changes over the seasons.
I have a soft spot for early bastard secondary villain Spike, he is hilarious and Buffy's annoyance with him is delightful.
And then he has his literal oh moment of realizing he's into Buffy and he doesn't know how to handle it and he handles it in the whackiest, weirdest way possible. I mean, role playing with Harm? Having Warren build a sex bot? The incredibly awkard stalking?
But things get more serious and less of a comic relief "look at that poor bastard" when Spike becomes one of the people Buffy trusts. One of the people she trusts the most, I'd say, considering she leaves her mother and her sister with him, repeatedly.
Season 5 is such a good Spuffy season in that Spike becomes a Scooby by sheer force of will. Somewhere in my mind still lives an alternate spin where the Scoobies do escape Glory in their RV and just... have a merry roadtrip with each other.
And sure, it's easy to dismiss Spike - easy for Buffy and the other characters. Because he's a vampire, and not a fancy one with a soul like Angel. He might lust for Buffy, but it can't be love, right.
But, and that's what makes me love this ship so much, it is love, even without a soul. (It's also what makes me love Spike so much, because he is such a complex character with so much growth who was already so much more than just a vampire even without his soul.)
Him bringing flowers after Joyce died, not to somehow score points with Buffy, but because he genuinely liked Joyce and they had genuinely bonded with each other. Because he mourns, even without a soul.
And, the biggest evidence as to him genuinely loving her - he stays, when Buffy dies.
If it were all misplaces lust that he blows out of proportion, he wouldn't have stayed. Buffy was dead and since Willow, Tara and Xander didn't tell him about wanting to resurrect her, he had no reason to stay, no reason to believe she would ever be back.
But he stayed in Sunnydale. And not just to mourn and get drunked and fucked up, the way he did when Dru dumped him.
He was a Scooby. For months, he worked with them to protect Sunnydale, to fight demons, to help raise Dawn. He took on so much responsibility and for the first time truly became a hero, a good guy. He fought for the good cause, not to impress Buffy and score points with her, not out of any misplaced reasons. Solely because she was gone and he wanted to honor her legacy, he wanted to do what she would do if she were still there, he wanted to protect those she had died to protect.
I have a very complicated relationship to season 6's Spuffy. It's very self-destructive, on both parts. She's only using him, he becomes her bad coping mechanism with being brought back to life. And he knows that, but he can't stay away. Personally, I think all of Seeing Red was a huge mistake and especially after the build-up of what they had Spike do for Buffy so far without a soul, it... it felt like a whole different writer with entirely different ideas just grabbed the script and hijacked it at that point, to be quite frank. I do think that at that point in how Spike's character was established, it was OoC. Even if you try to argue that their relationship had already been a mess of mixed signals, with "I hate you, you disgust me" being followed by mindblowing sex, I still think that this was pushing things too far.
But it brought us Spike going to get his soul, so I digress.
And then comes season 7 and season 7 is just peak Spuffy. Season 7 is my happy place. Gods. The way Buffy cares for him, the way she protects him, from the others, from the First, from himself. The way she stands up for him. How she keeps choosing him.
The way they banter and raise "the children" together once he feels better.
And when everyone in an act of being incredibly, impossibly, forcibly OoC just turns their back on Buffy and also stabs hers, repeatedly, he is still there. He tells them off the way I was yelling at my screen too and then he found her and comforted her and simply held her.
And then he died. Not for her, but because he actually was a hero. And it wrecked me. (The best thing AtS ever did was bring Spike back to live, imo.)
Let's skip season 8 to the end, where he comes in as the knight in shining armor, having done his research on how to stop the apocalypse unfolding once again and how, even though she had just hooked up with Angel, she immediately starts fantasizing about Spike as soon as he's in the room? I swear, season 8 is a freaking mess.
But season 9... really hurts. That she'd come to him, of all the people she knows and loves, she comes to him when she doesn't know how to keep going, when she considers running away and raising a child, being a family. He is the person she thinks about. And he is the person she comes to for back-up when she decides to have an abortion. Whether she goes to a happy place or a dark place, in both scenarios she chose him over everyone else, to have him at her side.
And season 10 finally gives us the canon romantic relationship between them. Finally, they actually get together and it is so good. The way they communicate with each other, the way she reassures him that she chose him and no one's going to come between them, tells him that he is a good man and also finds for herself that she is not just happy in this relationship, she also finds that she loves herself more, she likes the person she is when she is with him (she literally says that).
Buffy has a freaking mind-journey, traveling into Spike's mind and seeing and feeling just how much he loves her, how regardless of what else is going on, he loves her.
They are... They are everything I always dreamed they could be in a real relationship - they have their problems, but they talk them through, they reassure and support each other, they're domestic and cute, they make each other better, not by changing the other but by supporting the other and giving each other the chance to be their best self.
When they actually are in a real relationship, neither of them is jealous. And both have shown in the past to be prone to jealousy. But when Buffy tells Spike that Angel is her past and that he is her present, he accepts that and he doesn't feel the need to be a jackass around Angel. And when Spike tells Buffy about his could-have-been Dylan, Buffy doesn't get jealous over her, no, she decides they should go to Dylan's art-show and she gets along splendidly with her.
Season 11 is an overall rough ride, I mean, they are literally locked inside an internment camp for nearly the whole season. But the Spuffy keeps you going, because they are so strong together, they make this work, together.
The season ends with them kissing, with Buffy saying "I love you" for the very first time and all Scoobies being together and it's... the picture-perfect ending to Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I could have ever imagined.
(There is no season 12 in my mind. That was Fray-centric garbage that did a disservice to Buffy as a character.)
Send me a ship and I will explain why I do or don't ship it

How to read/calculate your birth chart
From time to time I get people who are absolutely brand new to astrology, so I figured I should make this post and add it to my FAQ for reference. In this post Iâll demonstrate step by step how to calculate and read your chart via Astro.com.
*This is just a simple guide; you will still be required to research on specific topics such as basic understanding of symbols in astrology.
Calculating Your Chart
Step 1
Create an account on Astro.comÂ
Step 2
Under âFree Horoscopes,â you will find âExtended Chart Selectionâ and it will take you to the chart calculating/format page.

Step 3
If you havenât already inputted your birth info, you can do this now under âAdd a New Personâ
On the Extended Chart Selection page, it gives you options for how your chart will be calculated and formatted. The default House System will likely be set to âPlacidus,â but I strongly recommend changing this to âequalâ as it will be easier to understand and is the way I read birth charts.

You donât need to change any other settings from here, however youâre welcome to. Under âDisplay and calculation optionsâ you can adjust what planets or objects will be included in your chart, you can adjust the aspect orb, and you can change aspect allowances. Under âAdditional objectsâ you can choose to include certain asteroids and objects as well. I personally like to include Pallas, Ceres, Vesta, and Juno, but these are by no means required.Â
Step 4
âClick here to show the chartâ will take you to the actual chart page. This is your calculated chart.

(This is my chart with my personal settings)
The table below the circular chart lists the placements and aspects. Take note of the planetary symbols next to their names as this will help you learn the symbols and understand the circular chart better.Â
The aspect chart (the staircase looking table) can be read by looking at one of the symbols (triangle, square, angle, etc.) and the planetary symbol above it and the planetary symbol to the right indicates which two planets are making this aspect. This page on Astro will give you a brief explanation on what the aspect symbols are. You definitely do not need to focus on aspects if youâre a beginner, but this may be good to refer back to when youâre ready to learn about them.
Looking at the circular chart, youâll notice it resembles a pie with twelve slices. You will see that these twelve slices are numbered (near the centre). These numbers represent the Houses. Where the houses start is indicated by your Ascendant (AC in your chart. Ascendant can also be referred to as Rising sign). From the exact degree of your Ascendant, 12 slices can be marked around the circle in 30 degree intervals. In my case, my ascendant is marked at 22 degrees in Leo therefore my first house starts at 22 degrees in Leo, my second house starts at 22 degrees in Virgo, my third house starts at 22 degrees in Libra, and so on. The equal 30 degree slices are the result of the equal house system; other house systems will give you different house layouts. Placidus, for example, will give you different sized houses starting at different points (so you might be able to see why I recommend the equal house system.)
Still looking at the circular chart, you will see the planetary symbols sitting in these pie slices with a little number next to them. The little number next to the planetary symbols indicates in what degrees the planet is in the sign (note; the SIGN, not the house. The signs have their own âcuspsâ apart from the houses which are also in 30 degree increments). So if you take a look at my Sun for example (circle with a dot symbol) it is sitting in the 4th pie slice (fourth house) at 16 degrees in Sagittarius.Â
If you continue to look at my Sun in the 4th in Sagittarius, you will notice that a red line is pointing to it and connecting to Jupiter. This is considered an aspect. Aspects show the relationships between planets in our birth chart. If you refer back to the staircase table and where the Sun meets Jupiter, you will see a square symbol. This symbol indicates that the Sun and Jupiter are forming a square aspect.
The 3x4 table to the right of the staircase table keeps score of how many planets of the same element or same mode you have. C - Cardinal, F - Fixed, M - Mutable and F/Red - Fire, A/Yellow - Air, E/Green - Earth, W/Blue - Water. This will give you a basic and quick idea of the general emphasis of your chart. It only takes you really a second to realize that Iâm a fire dominant with a significant lack of earth just by looking at this table.Â
Reading Your Chart; Where to Start?
1. The Big Three
Locate your Sun, Moon, and Ascendant. These three placements are almost always the most important placements in your chart. Identify their meanings, their significance to the house they are in, and look into what their relationships are with other planets in your chart.
2. Your Chart Ruler
Your ascendant indicates what your chart ruler is. Your chart ruler is the planet that your ascending sign rules over. For example, if you are a Taurus or Libra ascendant, then your chart ruler would be Venus. Look at the condition of your chart ruler, is it in a sign that works well for it? What aspects are being made to it? What house is it in?
3. Day VS Night Chart
Your ascendantâs line is what divides the chart into two hemispheres. The top half of your chart is considered the Southern Hemisphere whereas the bottom half is considered the Northern Hemisphere. Depending on if your Sun is placed above (Southern) or below (Northern) the ascendantâs line will indicate whether you have a Day chart or a Night chart. In Day charts, the Sun has more priority and the chartâs main benefic planet is Jupiter. In Night charts, the Moon has more priority and the chartâs main benefic planet is Venus. You can find many other significances with Day VS Night charts that are worth researching into.
4. North Node
Your North Node placement is going to be one of the most eye-opening placements to look into. Definitely should not go overlooked.Â
5. MidheavenÂ
Your Midheaven, also synonymous with your 10th house, gives some insight to future career or life goals. This represents where you will build your legacy.Â
6. Love indicators (for those who are interested in this)
Your chart can imply insight to how you behave in love and the type of people you attract/may be most compatible with. The points you will want to research for this are Venus (romantic expression/aesthetic expression), Mars (sexual expression), and your Descendant/7th house. The asteroid Juno is a bonus you may want to look into.Â
7. Jupiter and Saturn.... And the rest of the planets
Eventually youâll want to look into the rest of the planetary positions in your chart. Jupiter typically suggests our eases and opportunities in life whereas Saturn indicates inhibitions and fears. Thereâs some really interesting things to unpack from these planets based on their sign and house position. When looking at the planets, you should also consider their condition as planets do better in certain signs and worse in others. This is considered exaltation VS debilitation. Outside of a planetâs ruled sign, it has a sign it exalts in, a sign it is debilitated in, and a sign it is detriment in. Planets in their ruling or exalted sign have significant influence on the chart.
8. What stands out?
When you look at your chart, what stands out to you? Any particular aspect shapes? Any over emphasis in one sign (Stellium)? Any major conjunctions? If it stands out, itâs likely important and should be looked into. Take my chart for example, there is a very obvious triangle shape in it; this is called a grand trine. There are other chart patterns too, as this is just one, that can lead a big impact in oneâs chart.Â
9. Literally at this point, go down the rabbit hole.
By this point, you would have gone over many of the main points of your chart and you can explore any particular point or section now! Aspects? The rest of the houses? Asteroids maybe?
To summarize, I want to emphasize that this is just a simple guide that will require research. Google, books, and forums are your best friend when it comes to researching astrology. Overall, I hope this post makes sense.

Queens of The Court
Pairing: Hitch x Reader, mentions of Ymir x Reader, brief Eren x Reader
Synopsis: After the girl you almost dated Ymir starts dating Historia and breaks your heart you canât get your head back in the game. A handsome boy from the baseball team offers to help you get your mind off of things, but maybe the actual solution has been under your nose the whole time.
Content: Oral (f giving and receiving, brief m giving f receiving). mention of m x f sex, but the only explicate content is between two women. Slight angst.

The ball you sent flying bounces on the other side of the tennis court and starts to roll into the adjourning court while Hitch goes running after it. âHitch what the fuck you could have hit that if you payed attention for once in your lifeâ you say frustrated. It was really starting to annoy you the way that Hitch would be so zoned out that she wouldnât even notice that the ball had been served until it was far too late and she was swinging her racket at nothing. Pieck has her racket pinched between her knees as she focuses on re-tying her ponytail âCome on y/n calm down you and Ymir are the first string me and Hitch are just here as backupâ at this laid back remark Ymir decides to pipe up, racket up on her shoulder she struts up to the net. âWell how do you expect me and y/n to be able to keep winning tournaments if we only get to practice with you two space cadetsâ. Hitch is finally back from retrieving the ball wines âcome on were doing our bestâ! Pieck lets out a small chuckle âcome on Hitch even I don't believe thatâ. âWhatever itâs 8 oâclock the courts closing soon and I need to go pick up Historia from practice lets goâÂ
You and Ymir start to head back to the locker room together and you canât help but to think back to the times before Historia. After doubles practice when Hitch and Pieck would go off to share a joint and leer at the baseball team from the bleacher you and Ymir would play each other 1 on 1, relishing the extra time together. At first it started off as a competition. Sure you two were the best doubles team but who was the best player? The first night you broke the barriers of physical contact was when you insisted that Ymirâs serve was out and her insisting it was in, until she had you backed against the chainlink âyou know maybe if you put the same amount of energy you use arguing to work on improving your serves it might have actually have been inâ you chided. âShut upâ Ymir responded, âwhy don't you make meâ were your final words before her lips came crashing down on yours, her hands against your face. From then on it was your routine, after doubles play individually and always with a bet. Maybe the loser would go down on the winner, or maybe theyâd be the one to wash down the winner in the locker room showers. You two never officially dated but you loved Ymir and thought of her as your girlfriend. That was until Historia. You remember how stupid you felt the day you had won your game against the opposing school and back in the locker room you had laced your fingers through her hair to pull her in for a kiss when she placed a hand on your shoulder to stop you âactually I started seeing someone. Weâre still good as friends, we just can't keep doing the physical stuff okayâ? God âthe physical stuffâ was that all this was to her? Your heart felt like it was being split in two and how could it not? You were in love with her and you thought she had felt the same, that the unspoken bond was what made it even more romantic. But turns out Ymir didnât see things the same way, she thought you were just friends who happened to fuck. And now your plays were starting to suffer, too distracted by the heart ache. Sometimes getting distracted by the way Ymirâs hands grip the racket and your mind starting to wonder if she brushed her thumb along Historiaâs cheek before kissing her the same way she used to do to you. Maybe thatâs why you were so hard on Hitch for her spacing out, it's always easier to pick apart your flaws in other people instead of facing them yourself. As Ymir heads to the gym to go grab Historia from practice you decide to head over to the baseball field. Maybe hanging out with those two stoners would be better than going back home alone.
Pieck has the stupidest smile on her face when she passes you the joint, you taking it between your pointer and middle finger about to take a drag when you hear his grating voice âHeeeyyy y/nâ. God itâs fucking Eren Jaeger, and heâs walking over baseball bat slung over his shoulders and you look away trying to avoid eye contact âHello ladies, oh come on y/n donât ignore me even in personâ you take a drag of the joint before answering âhey Eren you ever think maybe there's a reason I never answered your text from 4 months agoâ the boys eyebrows furl in concern âOh come on you canât still be mad about that group project! I said I was sorry and I was just asking you to dinner to apologize, you didnât have to ignore me for 4 monthsâ. Hitch doesnât look like her cheery self, elbows on her knees and her fists supporting her pouting face âcome on Eren you think youâd get the hint after 4 months, sheâs. Not. interested.â. You pass the joint back to Pieck when suddenly you get an idea, still not daring to meet his teal eyes you say âEren me and Ymir are playing tennis tomorrow why donât you stop around 5 and pick me upâ. Erenâs face lights up in excitement while Hitch and Pieck seem taken aback by you suddenly asking the guy you've blown off for the past 4 months to come hang out. Eren lets out a small chuckle âyou two still practice on a Saturdayâ? âThatâs why me and Ymir are so good, we apply ourselves. Hitch and Pieck could be too but they don't. Anyways are you coming or notâ you say âOh Iâll be there hot stuff, Iâll be there.â he says while strutting back off to the rest of the team in the dugout. âHey I can apply myselfâ Hitch practically yells, you can't tell whether that remark was for you or for Eren.
Your game against Ymir is not going in your favor, you know you can play better than you are but she brought Historia with her to watch and it's too distracting. Staring at her and wondering what she has that you didnât, why Ymir could fall in love with her but not you. Itâs a big surprise but youâre actually relieved when Eren shows up so you can end the game. Once on the court Eren makes his way over to you wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you close to him, Ymir who has her tennis bag in one hand, the other holding Historiaâs looks over at the two of you eyes crinkling into a smile âhey I didnât know you were with someone, Iâm really happy for you y/nâ! And with that she turns and starts to walk away like she didnât just tear your heart apart with her smile. She was genuinely happy for you, there were no hints of jealousy, maybe she was just relieved that you found someone and that possibly your game would finally improve and stop being pissy about her being with someone. You grab your bag tighter and start making your way down to the locker room right out of Erenâs arm while he starts jogging after you âIâll be out in a second I just need to changeâ you say fighting back the tears that were starting to prick at the corners of your eyes. Instead of actually getting changed you lay back against the cold lockers before sliding down to the ground and burying your head in your arms that rest on your knees when suddenly you hear âso were you fucking her or somethingâ? Your head snaps up âEren what the fuck are you doing in here. This is the womenâs locker room". He just chuckles at you before offering you a hand âit's Saturday, no one else is in here drama queenâ. You wipe at your eyes with the back of your hand now afraid heâll notice your tears not that your upright âwhat does it matter Erenâ. He places his hands against the lockers right next to your hips before leaning in and you feel his hot breath fan across your face and his nose brush your cheek âdo you want me to help you forget herâ? You feel his hand snake down under your skirt running up your thighs until he reaches the top band and tries to pull down but your clothes stay in place. âItâs a tennis skirt dumbass the shorts are attachedâ you side step your way under his arms out of his grasp before starting to head back out of the locker room âbesides like Iâd ever let you fuck me here at least take me back to your room or somethingâ. Eren starts to jog to keep up âhey I know how tennis skirts workâ!
Erenâs dorm was painfully college boy-esque. Air fresheners littered along windowsills and desk an attempt to hide the boy BO and by the dirty bong on the desk, weed. You sit down on the edge of the bed pushing away a dirty tee-shirt with your pinky when Eren takes a seat on the floor between your knees ``okay baby girl Iâm gonna make you forget aallll about that little tennis partner of yoursâ. He places a wet kiss to the side of your knee before using the first two fingers on each hand to dip beneath the waistband of your skirt before pulling it down. You lay back in the bed as you feel him kiss your inside thigh before finally making contact with your core, and oh god what the hell is he doing? Heâs spelling out the alphabet, you're not too terribly surprised ânot shocked just disappointedâ would sum it up. Heâs hot so of course he probably has tons of girls who faked ecstasy just because they were so excited to have Jaeger between their legs. But after Ymir? No way this comes close, b, a, s, e, oh he finished the alphabet so heâs moving onto random words now âbaseballâ? Real creative dumbass. Bored as hell you can't help but to pull out your phone.
To: Sub 1
What are you doing rn?
Movie night with Pieck! You should come join us!!! : )
K, going to shower and then be up.
Eren pulls away surprised when you sit up and start to pull your skirt back up âhey babe, what's wrongâ? He gives you those stupid puppy dog eyes. âYou're bad at this i'm boredâ you utter grabbing your tennis bag and heading back to the door. Youâre halfway down the hall when you see him standing in the door frame hardon visible through his boxers when he says âcome on y/n I'm better with my dick dont you even wanna seeâ.
After making it back to your dorm and taking a quick shower you head up to the next floor and give a knock on the door adorned with cute little construction paper cactuses labels âPieckâ and âHitchâ. Hitch opens the door with a big smile, her eyes crinkling at the corner. You can't help but notice the white tank top wearing sheâs wearing is slightly see through and the way her nipples push against the fabric, and boy can you feel them too when she pulls you into a hug and her breast squish against you. Pieck is laying down on the bed blowing the smoke from a joint out a window fan they turned around so it blows out the window instead of in. She smirks when she sees the way your face goes blank at how Hitch is nuzzling her head against you âhey y/n want someâ? You give a nob before heading over to the bed arm around Hitch guiding her back with you. A couple drags later and you're not even paying attention to the movie. Instead the weed has heightened your senses and it feels intense the way that Hitch is running her delicate little fingers up and down your arms. Pieck whoâs been stealing glances at you two occasionally takes her phone out of her pajama shorts and says âoh hey I just got a text from Pock asking me to spend the night, Iâm going to head over. You know how I like to sleep in, in the morning so y/n feel free to stay till whereverâ she gives a wink as she saunters out the room. Hitch is semi laying back on the pillows and starts to giggle once Pieck is out the door. âWhat are you laughing aboutâ you say as you sit up from the other end of the bed. Hitchâs face turns a bright red ânothing i'm not laughing about anythingâ. God you donât know what it is about her right now but the way she short hair is kinda messy from rolling against the pillows or what a tease she looks like nipples poking through that see through tank top and her ass practically hanging out the bottom of those short shorts but you canât help what comes over you. On your hands and knees you start to crawl towards her, green eyes widening as she watches you stalk towards her like a predator. Until youâre over her hands placed just under her armpits, your knees against the sides of her hips. You move one hand up to her jaw brushing your thumb over her lips âI said what are you laughing about ''. You donât even give her a chance to answer before you crash your lips against hers, a small mewl escaping her lips at the contact. You move your hand from her face down to her side fingers running over her ribs. She sighs and leans into your touch, at her receptiveness you go ahead and move your hand up to her breast kneading the soft tissue between your fingers. When she starts to rub her thighs together you go ahead and practically rip that little tank top off her and latch your lips onto her nipple. One hand still gently squeezes her other breast thumb rubbing small circles around her perked up little nipple, on the other you have your tongue flicking, rolling, and sucking against her. Her hands go to your shoulders squeezing harder each time you pull off her nipple with a pop before going back. You plant a kiss to her sternum moving down her torso nipping at her belly button before continuing down and pulling her shorts off. Sheâs so beautiful. Her plump bottom lip between her teeth as her perky breast moving up and down with her excited breathing, her pubic hair is the same sandy blonde as her head and sheâs practically glistening at her core. Spreading her legs apart you lay your head against her thigh and look into her eyes as you slide your pointer and ring finger inside of her. You canât help but chuckle at just how wet she already is and how sheâs clenching around your fingers, her hands gripping the sheets. You turn your head slightly as kiss her thigh as your drag your fingers in and out watching her face contorted in pleasure as she whimpers âuse your words tell me what you wantâ she practically pants out âyour tongue I want your tongueâ and she's so sweet how can you not indulge her? You start to curl your fingers up as you give her puffy clit a kiss before starting to lap at it with the flat of your tongue. Itâs driving you crazy the way her tits bounce with the thrust of your fingers and how sheâs grinding her hips down against your fingers. Your other hand goes to play with her tits as you feel her flutter around you as she reaches her release, your tongue still spinning around her clit to ease her though the orgasm. âMm too muchâ she mutters out pushing against your head. You sit back up admiring the fucked out look on pretty little Hitch all thanks to you. She sits up on her hands and knees giving you a soft smile âwanna make you feel good nowâ she says crawling into your lap, peppering kisses down your neck stopping to suck on your collar bone. You pull her head back âno hickiesâ you say bopping your pointer finger against her nose playfully. She giggles before ducking her head down to your waist pushing your PJ shirt up to access your nipples. Sheâs rougher than you were and you can feel her teeth nipping as she grabs you by your waist keeping you pulled close to her. When you give a little yelp when she uses a little too much teeth she pulls away giggling again as she pushes you down. âYou know everytime youâd bend over for the ballâ another giggle âIâd imagine what your pussy would look likeâ. You finish taking off the rest of your clothes for her and spread your legs when you reply with a teasing âso what do you think then?â. She licks her lips âeven more beautiful than I could imagineâ she says head moving down between your legs to lick up your folds before latching onto your clit. Hitch was an enthusiastic lover and you two went back and forth until it was late and you two were boarding on overstimulation. After laying down next to each other you get up and start to put your clothes back on. Hitch grabs your arm âhey, don't you wanna sleep overâ. You just continue to put your clothes back on saying â I donât know if that's a good idea, I had fun thoughâ. You get up and give her a kiss on the forehead before heading out and you can't bear to look her in the eyes because you can just feel the sadness radiating off of her.Â
Back in your own bed you hug your knees to your chest trying to get rid of the hole in the pit of your stomach. You did like Hitch, she was sweet and god was she good in bed but come on sheâs not someone you can rely on. This is Hitch! Hitch who once missed a game because she slept in too late after a party, Hitch who sometimes just forgot about practice. There was a reason she was on your phone as âsub 1â . You were afraid of getting attached to someone like her. Especially after the number Ymir did on you. You needed someone who you knew would be there, someone who wonât let you down. Your heart couldn't take another break but also you couldn't help but feel guilty for not even giving her the chance. To take your mind off of things you decide to get up early to go practice against the backboard.
It's 7am on a Saturday and you think youâll be alone so youâre surprised when you hear the familiar sound of the tennis ball bouncing against the back bored and your heart sinks. Who else would be here at 7am besides Ymir, but you're surprised when you turn the corner and see Hitch. Sheâs painting and sweaty so its obvious shes been here for a while, when she misses the ball and stops to pull another out from her shorts you say âHey, I didnât expect to see you hereâ she looks down and that pang of guilt comes back to your chest. She makes her way over to the fence where you are âWell youâre always talking about how I donât apply myself and I thought that maybe if I tried harder in tennis youâd see something worthy in meâ tears are starting to form in her eyes âI just imagined maybe youâd see me actually win a game or something. Not just see me still sucking against a wallâ. You put your hands up to where her fingers were poking through the chain link and place your hands over herâs. âHitchâ she perks up to meet your eyes âdo you want to go on like an actual dateâ her lips part in surprise at your words. âAlso why donât you see if Pieckâll sleep over at Pocks again, this time Iâll stay the nightâ. Sheâs really beautiful when she smiles âyeah Iâd like thatâ.

CQL Rewatch - Episode 9
Let me preface this by saying weâre entering a period of episodes that Iâm not that fond of. Thereâs nothing wrong with them really, but itâs just padding and a little bit of set-up for later arcs, but I personally think the set-up is unnecessary.

Anyhow, straight into it! I shouldnât say âstraightâ when wangxian is on screen. I struggled to get a good shot, but the dichotomy between Nie Huaisang and wangxian here is hilarious to me. Heâs such a good comedy act, flailing and being totally useless, other than being another warm body, but at the same time, heâs the only one really acting like a teenager here. Lan Wangji is always so cold and serious, while Wei Wuxian is a goof until he needs to be serious, but both of them are also extremely talented. We know Nie Huaisang isnât an idiot, but I donât get the impression heâs a great cultivator either.

I literally watched this scene this morning and totally missed this part. Lan Wangji stops Wei Wuxian from killing or attacking the puppets further, as heâs about to use his sword to defend them all. Itâs a great little moment, actually, because it shows how Wei Wuxian is willing to do anything, but heâs not willing to murder innocent people if they can be saved. We already know, with all the Lan principles, that Wangji would not kill needlessly, but we donât necessarily know that about Wei Wuxian. But he has morals, he has his own principles, and heâs not going to cast those aside for nothing.
Now, you could say he wonât do it now in the story, but what about later? What about Wen Chao? Iâd say thatâs totally different. That was revenge. And one of the things I like about this story is that it doesnât shy away from revenge (something that a lot of Western media kind of disdainsâwe seem to be afraid to in any way make revenge out to be something good).

I canât believe I managed to capture the exact moment that Lan Wangji used the Silencing spell on Nie Huaisang. Iâm honestly really impressed with myself. Of course, it was totally by accident. I was initially going to just talk about how funny Nie Huaisang is again, because I love his flailing and physical comedy, and his expressions are fantastic. But can I talk about this glare that Yibo has right now? Haha, I love it. Again, if looks could kill. If I were Wei Wuxian here, Iâd feel pretty satisfied for being the one not silenced at this moment. Honestly, it shows such a progression in their relationship: theyâre really working as a team, no longer at odds with each other. Itâs really apparent that they have become a team: itâs Nie Huaisang and WangXianânot Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. There are also more moments where it feels like Wei Wuxian is really looking for Lan Wangjiâlike, it feels as if heâs more interested in the relationship than Lan Wangji. I donât think itâs true at all, but thatâs kind of what weâre shown. The thing is that Lan Wangji is so much more aloof and cold towards Wei Wuxianâvery tsundere, I suppose. But of course, we know Lan Wangji is very conscious of Wei Wuxian.

Iâm not going to pick on her specifically here, because overall, the fake instrument-playing is pretty hysterical. I do think sheâs the worst at it, though, probably because she only does this in one scene or something. Wang Yibo has a double for a lot of the scenes where heâs playing the guqin, but what little we see is fine. Xiao Zhan is also okayâwe know he isnât really playing, but he does an okay job pretending to play. Like, his lip is on the flute. It kind of looks like Wen Qing doesnât even have her lips on the fluteâlike sheâs trying not to wreck her makeup. Anyway, Iâm not going to harp (see what I did there?) on itânone of them are musicians.

Reminder to gif this part.
Any time Wei Wuxian comes to Lan Wangjiâs defense is a good time, and coupled with a smile like thisâmy heart is melting, excuse me. I love these moments, because for just a few seconds, it feels like no one else is thereâitâs just the two of them having a moment together. And Wei Wuxian is once again here proving how heâs loyal to Lan Wangji, how his friendship is worth something, and itâs not just skin-deep. I think Lan Wangji is touched here: the way his averts his gaze, as if he likes what Wei Wuxian is saying, but he still feels uncomfortable. Outside of his family, this is probably the closest relationship that Lan Wangji has ever had.

Wei Wuxian has a lot of cool magic, and itâs a shame we donât get to see more of it. I like the idea that his talismans are more clever, if that makes sense. They arenât just explosions or hitting people with waves of force to knock them around. Heâs got golden nets, and talismans that can bind/bond people to each other, ones that can cause you to be pinned to the ground. Itâs just very fun, and we donât get to see a lot of that sort of magic in this world. Actually Lan Wangji has the Silencing spell, plus the body binding spell that he uses in the book, but that is, unfortunately, not in this series. And the first time you see it in the book is when he binds Wei Wuxianâs body so that he has to sleep right on top of Lan Wangjiâgreat stuff.

WWX: So they are making use of my wisdom? LOL
Wei Wuxian stops to make a joke, saying he is most disturbed by the hallucinations because he has so many thoughts in his headâbasically too smart for his own good hereâand at the same time, poking fun at Lan Wangji, because he isnât bothered by the hallucinations (ie. he doesnât have many thoughts in his head). Okay, first of all, we know Wei Wuxian respects Lan Wangji a lot, so he is definitely joking, and itâs all in good fun. Lan Wangji rolls his eyes a bit, and heâs not bothered. He did, after all, tell Wei Wuxian to put the net over the other three so that he and Wei Wuxian could take care of the dire owl alone. He also respects Wei Wuxian and values him as a fellow cultivator and teammate. Second of all, again, Wei Wuxian is not an idiot! Heâs smart! Heâs clever! Heâs not dumb! I donât know who still needs to hear this, but Iâm saying it again. I know itâs easy to put him into the typical BL âfemaleâ role: heâs smaller, heâs a bottom, blah blah blah. I honestly donât like that at all. Every ship doesnât have to be two opposites. It doesnât have to be m/f, top/bottom, big/small, dark/light, smart/dumb, strong/weak. Iâm aware of how the book is written and Iâm aware of BL tropes in general, but I see two equals here. I like how they picked Wang Yibo, a shorter and younger man than Xiao Zhan, to play Lan Wangji. I like that they took out the fact that he has inhumanly strong arms. I like the different dynamic that it displays from the book characters. That isnât to say that I donât like the bookâI love the book. The book is my favorite adaptation, both in terms of storytelling and in terms of plot. But that doesnât mean that itâs perfect for me.
Anyway, enough ranting for now.

I love this shot. And I love how in sync they are in this fightâitâs like a dance. When Iâve heard about fight choreography in the past, I never associated it with the word âdance,â until I saw this series. I donât know if itâs the costumes or the setting or the actors or what, but their motions are so fluid, so dance-likeâitâs actually quite beautiful.

Oh, my god, look at that grin! I fucking love it!! Also, serious moment turns into a chance to tease Lan Wangji. I will accept it.

My sentimental heart loves how scared Wei Wuxian is for Lan Wangji here. All that time wearing the One RingâI mean, holding the Yin Iron, is really wearing him down. (Sorry, I couldnât help myself). But jokes aside, I love how Wei Wuxian is right there, instructing him on how to handle whatâs going on and to not lose control, while the others are just kind of clueless as to what is happening or how to help. And even after Lan Wangji snaps out of it and says they have to go to the Chang Clan, Wei Wuxianâs expression still is one of great concern, and I doubt itâs out of fear for what the waiter has just told him. I think heâs just really worried about Lan Wangji. This is the first time that Lan Wangji has even been like this, even in the face of great danger, and Wei Wuxian is shaken by it.

RWBY Volume 8, Episode 13 (Worthy)
Well, wow. That sure was an episode that happened.
Thoughts under the cut.
Anyone who leaves spoilers for episode 14 on this will get blocked.
- First of all, I want to now talk about the spoiler I saw for this episode last week, to put the anger from my last post into context: After I had just finished watching episodes 8-12 and started writing my post about them, I went into one of the RWBY tags bc Iâm dumb and saw a post that said (I donât remember the exact words, but more or less): âIâm so glad Yang is finally dead, so now her fans can shut up about her and everyone can ship Blacksun instead.â
⌠Yeah. Imagine seeing that when you havenât seen the actual episode and have no idea what really happened. I honestly completely panicked for a few minutes, before remembering I donât actually know anything and this might just be a âWeiss gets impaled in Volume 5, but one episode later it turns out sheâll be fineâ situation. So then I had to look up what actually happened to Yang, because otherwise I wouldnât have been able to sleep. So, to the person who made that post: Fuck you. Not only did you freak people out for no reason (because come on, thereâs no way falling into the void actually kills you â and even if it does, we at least definitely donât know that for sure after episode 13), but even if Yang had actually died, itâs super shitty that your first reaction to a beloved queer characterâs death would be âyay, now people can ship my m/f ship insteadâ. Like, I donât care if you personally dislike Yang/ dislike Bumbleby/ prefer Blacksun â show a little bit of decency.
Phew. Sorry, I had to get that off my chest because it really made me angry. Now letâs get into the actual episode:
- âWorthyâ as a title pretty much already made me predict that Cinder would succeed in her plan, since âyou have to be worthyâ was what Watts told her in his speech. Sheâs gotten the message and is now back to efficient plans â and while I love to see it, it also very much scares me when it comes to our heroesâ survival chances. The last time Cinder was doing well, we lost Pyrrha, so⌠help.
- And gosh, this whole episode was so intense! I feel like it mostly set up a bunch of very intense situations that are going to escalate in the last episode that Iâm very much not ready for.
- I still think the whole central location between the worlds is really beautiful, if dangerous. (They should have specified to Ambrosius that they want handrails or something.)
- Nora using her hammer like a witchâs broom was amazing.
- I also loved the scene with Jaune and the people at the train station; that was really funny.
- The middle of the desert might not have been the best place for the exit. Didnât the group consider that there might be a sandstorm or something else unpredictable out there? Couldnât they have picked a better exit point?
- Cinder causing an explosion in the middle of the evacuation that throws multiple people into the void was bad and all â but it was still one hell of an entrance!
- I love that now that Cinder realized that she has to rely on teamwork, sheâs suddenly being so nice to everyone. Apologizing to Neo, complimenting Watts on âtearing the kingdom apart with nothing but his intellectâ, that soft âYou deserve this, Arthurâ, complimenting Team RWBY on their plan, thanking them for teaching her âone last lessonâ. Yeah, maybe sheâs just talking to Neo and Watts like this because she needs their help, and to Team RWBY because sheâs confident sheâll win â but itâs still amazing to see the shift in her attitude and how sheâs clearly changed her tactic.
- Itâs insane to me that some people correctly predicted that Cinder would ask Jinn the last question based JUST on the fact that thereâs a part in the opening where everyone else freezes in time while she walks past them. Holy hell! I love trying to guess stuff based on the intro, but I would have never thought that far.
- Cinderâs question to Jinn seems like a waste considering it was Jinnâs last question, but maybe it just seems that way to us as viewers because Jinn didnât reveal anything we didnât already know. Was it the right thing for Cinder to do? I donât know, to be honest. Yes, it did give her the chance to ruin the heroesâ plans, but I have a feeling Salem wonât be happy about the question being gone. Pretty sure Salem was going to ask Jinn how to get the Beacon relic, and now she canât do that. (Cinder ruining Salemâs plans for the beacon relic? Let that be foreshadowing, please.) I mean, maybe itâs worth it from Salemâs POV if it gets them the staff and then sheâll have 2 of the 4 relics â but they could have still gotten the staff later, while I donât know if Salem has any plan B for the beacon relic. And Iâm a little worried about Cinder now. I always thought that Salem wouldnât kill Cinder no matter what, because she still needs the Fall Maiden for the beacon relic â but if she now has to wait another 100 years for the beacon relic anyway, Iâm not sure if sheâll have a reason to keep Cinder alive. (And Iâm still worried about that âSome lives will end much too soonâ line playing over that scene of Cinder clutching her Grimm arm in the opening.) I also wonder if Cinder even knew that this was Jinnâs last question. Did Jinn even tell her that? Also, when will the 100 years even be up? Do the questions just reset every 100 years regardless of when they were used? So maybe weâre already at year 80 or something and will only have to wait 20 years?
- The cut from everyone at the central command place screaming to them being dead was kinda funny in a âvery dark humourâ way.
- When Harriet first jumped onto that ship with the bomb, I, like an idiot, thought that she was finally being sensible and trying to get the bomb as far away from Atlas and Mantle as possible, not that she was trying to still drop it on Mantle. She and Ironwood might as well be working for Salemâs team at this point, because theyâre doing everything to help the villainsâ plan. And the villains are even counting on it! Watts freed Ironwood from his cell and is piloting Harrietâs ship. Those two are just straight up helping Salemâs team in their attempts to⌠what was it? Save Atlas?
- Ironwood killing Jacques was awful and proves once again that Ironwood has zero morals left. And I didnât like Jacques, but that was the kind of death that absolutely no one deserves. He had no way to escape or fight back, he was defenseless, locked up in a prison cell with nowhere to run â thatâs not just a murder, thatâs an execution without a trial. And Jacques wasnât even a threat, he wasnât in the way of any of Ironwoodâs plans. Ironwood killed him literally just because he could. And no one who thinks theyâre the good guy (and Ironwood still thinks heâs the good guy) should go around just killing people who arenât even a threat.
- And then we have Yang falling into the void. Honestly, as heartbreaking as Blakeâs sobs and anger are, I kind of love this from a âsupreme angst, letâs see my faves sufferâ perspective. That said, Yang better actually be fine or else.
- Actually, my prediction is that the rest of team RWBY will jump into the void to save Yang in the last episode. Because theyâre all falling in the opening, and because âSometimes itâs worth it all to risk the fall and fight for every lifeâ. Thatâs pretty much the only prediction I feel somewhat confident about, for the rest I have no idea.
- I wonder if it would have been better if Penny had just gone through the doorway and gotten the staff to Vacuo. I get why she didnât, because Yang just fell and her other friends were in danger⌠but at the same time, she was supposed to protect the population and the staff (and she has the maiden powers that Iâm sure Cinder still wants). If she had just gotten out of there, at least the group in Vacuo would have had some help against the sandstorm and the Grimm. But then again, it would have also severely weakened Term RWBYâs chances against Cinder and Neo⌠itâs a tough call, really.
- âWhy didnât you just learn your lesson?â âOh, Penny⌠I did.â Okay, but thatâs the thing: She really did! Just not the lesson Penny wanted her to learn. And notice how Cinder called Penny by her first name again? She didnât use to do that. I still think somewhere down the line Penny has earned her respect.
- I wonder if Pennyâs technically weaker now because sheâs human (?? is she??). Sheâs definitely not used to fighting without her robotic parts (as you can see when she tries to reach for her swords and realizes theyâre not there anymore). I summoning those swords like she then did her semblance or another maiden power?
- Blake now has to choose between helping Ruby and helping Penny and Weiss â gosh, the suspenseâŚ
- Iâm glad Vine at least finally tried to stop Harriet now! (Better late than never.) But I really wouldnât blame Qrow and Robyn for crashing into their ship. Itâs not like they had any way of knowing that Vine was trying to talk sense into Harriet. Also, Qrow crashing through Harrietâs windscreen was amazing.
- Winter and Ironwood are going to fight to the death and Iâm so scared of it. (I just need Winter to survive, pleaseâŚ)
- When Weiss described the doorway as a âone-way ticket to Vacuoâ last episode, I briefly wondered if that meant they wouldnât be let back through, but then I brushed it aside and didnât think about it too much anymore. Oh, damn. You really do have to be very specific with Ambrosius.
- Iâm not even sure which location is the best to be in right now because they all seem very unsafe: Atlas and Mantle are unsafe because Atlas is falling, because Mantle might still get blown up by Harriet, and because Salem might still come back any time. The place between worlds is unsafe because of the void and because thereâs a big fight happening right there. And Vacuo is unsafe because of the Grimm and the sandstorm. So really, theyâre all awful for the civilians right now.
- And now Iâm thinking the volume might actually end with the protagonists split into three groups as well: Team RWBY in the void (that theyâll spend Volume 9 finding their way back from), one half of the other characters in Vacuo (Oscar, Ren, Emerald, maybe more?), and the other half still in Atlas/Mantle (Qrow, Robyn, Marrow, Winter, maybe more).
- Iâm super nervous about the last episode. I havenât seen any spoilers at all so far, and I plan to keep it that way. Iâll probably completely ignore anything RWBY-related until next week because the anxiety would kill me otherwise. Iâm really worried weâll get a character death or even several. And ironically, my first prediction on who might die this Volume (Penny, Nora, Winter, Cinder) hasnât changed all that much. Iâm worried about Penny because she has the Maiden Powers and the staff, so Cinder will come after her (but I really think it would be an awful writing choice to kill her off after we just went through so much to save her). Iâm very worried about Winter because sheâs engaged in a duel to the death with a man who has a big canon that he just blew someone up with. Iâm worried for Cinder because of the opening and because Salem might be pissed at her for using the last question. Iâm worried for everyone whoâs still on Atlas and might get blown up by the bomb (Qrow, Robyn, Marrow, Winter again). And Iâm very worried for the characters who are in the in-between realm. Not so much Team RWBY, but Iâm worried about Nora, Jaune, and Penny. So yeah, Iâm pretty much worried about everyone and very much not ready. Now let me ignore RWBYâs existence for a week â or only reblog posts I already have saved as drafts â because itâs the only way Iâll know peace.

HAPPY 2K BENCH !! you deserve the whole world yk :( you deserve every single one of those followers + a million more !!!
i got a few questions for you :D it's a lot but <33 <3 <3 they're fun questions i swear </3 i even put a little husna flare to em if you couldn't tell KWHKAJSD
1. if you could live in a fictional world, which one would you live in?
2. it's the zombie apocalypse !! (of course there's gonna be a zombie apocalypse question, thisis me we're asking) which one of my tumblr moots would you want to help you survive? other than me, of course, that'd be cheating.
3. what was your favorite childhood snack?
4. which marvel character is your favorite? talk to me about your fav marvel movie, your least fav marvel movie / show, and what you think about marvel's time traveling concept.
5. what are some of the worst movies you've watched?

9. rant to me about a show you're watching <3
10. any advice for the kids who are pursuing the stem branch? aka me #lolzies
im gonna stop at 10 qs but !!! happy 2k to user @/gyukult aha :fboi:
:( youâre too nice husna even though i hate you and bash on you everydayÂ
f-fun? i hope so.... or else iâm going into this and crying because your questions stress me out. just kidding or whatever is that how people tell jokesÂ
i answered them below the read more bc it got long LOL
ask me questions for my 2k q&a!!
1. hm. like based off a movie or whatever? i wanna live in the marvel cinematic universe. do you think bucky or steve will notice me? also, wouldnât it be so interesting to live in a world where thereâs these people that call themselves âthe Avengersâ and dress in colorful spandex or weird robotic armor? (i hope i answered this right.)
2. hm. can i be honest? the rest of gta are a bunch of weaklings and i donât think any of them could help me survive. they might kill me first actually and it be by accident. if i had to give an answer, jae.
3. i used to live in an area where there were corner stores, and back in the day, snacks were like 25cents a pop but thatâs another story for another time. i used to eat a lot of Little Debbies snacks so I would eat like those oatmeal creme pies, the cosmo brownies and the zebra cakes !!!
4. steve rogers but,, you knew that. class A hottie amirite i honestly feel like iâd have to go back and rewatch all those movies a second time (the last time i did that was before infinity war) but i honestly did really like infinity war & end game? i think watching all those movies throughout all those years and then seeing those two movies it just .... hit different. like i think if you didnât watch any marvel movies and just watched those two, it wouldnât feel the same way it hit us??? (remember, peter,,, with,,,, tony....) UGH I HATED CAPTAIN MARVEL !!! DID THEY ONLY MAKE THAT MOVIE JUST TO FULFILL THEÂ âFEMALE EMPOWERMENTâ AGENDA AND THEN DIDNâT THINK OF HTE PLOT!?!?!?!??!?! Iâ M SO MA D?!!?!/ honestly. iâm not sure. i think iâm not the type to pick out a lot of stuff in films but at the same time...... i notice..... a lot of gaps in between things yet at the same time i never care enough to speak up about it? but maybe i can pick your brain on it another day. :D
5. sierra burgess is a loser. to all the boys iâve loved 3. f9. wonder woman 1984. captain marvel. the new adaption for mulan. tall girl. i probably had way more honestly because you know how i love watching bad movies to give them the benefit of the doubt then being disappointed.
6. this is hard !! but iâm torn between after midnight and hello. i say after midnight because itâs out of my comfort zone to write anything fwd (itâs honestly kind of hard) but i managed to push through that and made it work! and i say hello because itâs one of my first long length fics and it just. i love the meaning behind it and it always has a place in my heart. :(
7. i think i wouldnât make a good superhero tbh LOL iâm like an anti-hero or something LMFAO but if i were to have a superpower, probably super strength. no reason. just wanna throw stuff around.
8. iâm really big on honesty and respect. if my feet stinks, please tell me. but also thereâs just something about respect from both friends and a significant other that i prioritize!! some things about a personâs personality canât be forced to change, and thatâs fine, but if they canât be at least honest or respectful towards me, which btw is the bare minimum, consider yourself cut off.
9. !!! iâm only watching kitchen nightmares rn !! LMFAO but honestly i get so mad when people waste gordonâs time or act like heâs here for himself when theyâre the ones who asked to be on the show??/ like hello did you forget you wrote into the show so you could be helped??? hello???? also i canât help but wonder like how much time did he spend away from family bc of shows like these only to have ungrateful bitches out here smfh
10. LOL STEM !! i love stem even though i hate it. i think something to keep in mind is that thereâs an end goal to this. throughout the ride, youâre gonna feel discouraged and feel like this isnât for anything. but remember why you did it in the first place. and is it worth it? because thatâs how i felt often but i remember taking those trips to job-site tours to see construction in progress, and iâm like yeah. this is why. i like this. i wanna work in this in the future. and i think itâs easy to forget what youâre working for during the obstacles because your head is only wrapped around that and whatever is in the moment, but just remember to step back, breathe and try to remember what youâre in this for !!Â
and even if youâre not 100% solid in what you like, donât forget to try out different things even if theyâre not pertaining to your major. youâre young, you have time to figure things out, and when you discover you donât like something, great! that scratches off one thing on your list. now youâre one step closer to finding something you like.

fic writer interview! thanks for the tag @whatsaboomlakalaka ;)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
123! A nice round number ^__^
Although only 119 of those are complete >__>
2. Whatâs your total AO3 word count? 699558
Nice B) 3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
47 Fandoms Officially, but realistically it's more like 17 since there's a lot of crossover with individual stuff. For example, Hobbit and Lord of the Rings count as two separate fandoms on AO3 but realistically they're the same. Anyway, my 17 fandoms are:
- BatFam, Young Justice (Cartoon), Middle Earth, Star Trek, BBC Sherlock, Cabin Pressure, MCU, The Great Gatsby, Talking Heads (Alan Bennett), Quantum Leap, Critical Role, H*rry P*tter, BBC Merlin, Brooklyn 99, Fruits Basket, Snow White With The Red Hair and My Hero Academia
Talking Heads and Great Gatsby were actually ALevel Coursework I thought would be funny to upload! After I had all my results in and so on, of course. So if you wanna know what A* Coursework looked like in 2012 you know where to go xD
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Hells Kitchen 99 - A Brooklyn 99/Netflix MCU Crossover
Show Me Yours - All 5 Robins bonding over scars
Eating Out With Your Wife And Other Spousal Pleasures - Kyoru Smut
Puppy Love - Braduil Fluff & Angst inspired by 101 Dalmatians. My First multichapter long fic!
Electric Bolt - Denki Kaminari is Epileptic and I have FEELINGS about that
5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I always try to! But sometimes I run out of spoons, or a comment is so lovely I don't know what to say to it! However I always try to reply because I am very grateful for any and all comments I get and sometimes that's how you make friendships ^__^
6. Whatâs the fic youâve written with the angstiest ending? Hmmmm... okay so most people would probably say it's "Trinket's Memoriam" because Trinket dies at the end, but also Trinket is a VERY OLD BEAR at that point so it's not THAT angsty! And he gets to go see is Mamma and Step-Papa and Uncle Vax again, so really it's a HAPPY ending!
I would probably put angstiest as "Waiting" because Sigrid and Fili are still separated in death by Mahal's xenophobia and then their child is discriminated against in the next fic too.
"Good Days, Bad Days" is pretty angsty too, since that's a fic about Sigrid having Dementia and there's no recovering from that one.
See, I don't think these are THAT angsty but I am also told by some that everything I touch eventually turns to angst so who is to say what is what lol
7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one youâve written?
I mean, I wouldn't say it's crazy but I wrote a Quantum Leap - BBC Sherlock Greaserlock AU. That's probably pretty niche. Sam leaps into Molly and in order to leap he needs to help Sherlock with the whole Reichenbach thing and then also kiss Lestrade.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
LOL YUP! There are a lot of Biphobic TimSteph fans out there. And yes, I count hating on Harper Row as being biphobic given that she is one of the only openly queer members of the BatFam! AND ALSO guess what? Tim Drake is ALSO canonically queer! So all those "Tim isn't Bisexual! That's just FANON!" commenters can go suck a rotten egg because WHO WON IN THE END AYE?!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes, I write smut. Yes I am asexual, we exist.
I have almost exclusively written Cis M/F fic but I have some ideas for some ObiZen Smut so I guess I might be reaching out for Cis M/M in the future!
I do sometimes have ideas for Smut with Trans Headcanons? But then I worry that I'm going to be in a world of fetishcisation so I don't bother lest I accidentally offend.....
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge! Though I suppose it could have happened? 11. Have you ever had a fic translated? Someone asked to translate my Barduil into Chinese and I did give permission for one of them, but I don't know if it ever happened...
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! I co-wrote a Star Trek DS9/Sherlock Holmes Trill AU with an old sherlock fandom friend, a Sam/Clint MCU fanfic series with @sarah-the-artiste and like on day 2 of meeting my cousin as an adult we sat and wrote a Kiliel Fic together xD
13. Whatâs your all-time favourite ship?
OH GOODDDDDDD... Ummmm... So I probably have had the most fun writing for Figrid because it was absolutely the ship of dreams and there were so few of us in the rowboat but boy howdy did we make the most of it! I don't think I could ever go back to writing them for a plethora of reasons, but I certainly had a great time doing it!
In contrast, I have been shipping Kyo and Tohru for over a decade and I think I always will! But I don't have as much fun writing for them as I do other ships because there's just not much left to explore.
Merthur is always a good one to come home to as well... I mean. They left it so open ended that there's a billion different fix-its to choose from! You really can't go wrong. Also we all agree that Gwen deserves happiness so she always GETS happiness in those fics and I love that about the Merthur Fandom.
She really was better off with Lancelot....
14. Whatâs a WIP that you want to finish but donât think you ever will?
The Rules of The Game... I was really close to finishing before I started at the Hell Job and then Hell Job gave me depression (or rather made my depression 20x worse) and so I just can't go back to that stage of my life again..... also I can't play hockey anymore due to my disabilities so it's a little rough on that one too. Ah well. Who knows what the future may hold, aye? 15. What are your writing strengths?
I am informed that I am very good at writing things in character, especially dialogue. I can also write jokes that actually make people laugh!
16. What are your writing weaknesses? I verb my verbs too much, and am not very good at coming up with varied sentence openings. Also I cannot spell for shit.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for? H*rry P*tter
19. Whatâs your favourite fic youâve written?
Gift of the Valar my Hobbit Fix-It in which Tilda has Epilepsy that gives her prophetic visions which she uses to save Fili and Kili's lives. I don't think I will every write anything as good as this, and I am okay with that =)
Also you know, "Love in the time of Spiders" won a Hugo Award so that should be mentioned here too. Yes. I am the reason "Shelob (Tolkein)/Battle Goat #1" is a wrangled tag. You are welcome internet.
